A medical prescription scheduler for reminding and compliance is basically
envisioned and devised to simplify the programming of a reminder device,
and comprises of a single device or a pair of complimentary devices. A
scheduler device is meant for achieving a speedy and facilitated
scheduling of a medical prescription, formatting the scheduled
prescription based on format specifications compliant with the
prescription reminder application program of a recipient reminder device,
and transmitting the formatted scheduled medical prescription to the
reminder device. When unpacked in the receiving reminder device, said
format is intended for realizing the programming of the reminder device.
And the programmed reminder device is capable of audio-visually reminding
each dose of each medication of said prescription till compliance.
Preferably, the scheduler and reminder devices are modified commonly used
electronic devices, wherein either the existing hardware and/or software
is suitably adapted or the requisite hardware and/or software is
incorporated so as to accomplish the scheduling and reminding function.
While inputting a prescription, the computing means of a scheduler device
assists a prescriber by performing relational analysis and by displaying
cautionary or advisory information. In addition to facilitating a doctor
in scheduling a medical prescription, a means for promoting
pharmaceutical products and generating revenues is included.
