A patient apparatus is configured to receive and analyze information
regarding patient compliance with anticoagulation medication and
self-test coagulation regimens related to anticoagulation therapy. In
addition, a patient apparatus is configured to receive data from a
patient, including physiological data, pathophysiological data,
biological data, psychological data, neuropsychological data, and/or
behavioral data. Utilizing the received patient data, a patient apparatus
can modify a warfarin regimen using an algorithm contained within the
apparatus. The apparatus can communicate the modified warfarin regimen to
the patient and to third parties, such as remotely located healthcare
providers. In addition, the apparatus can prompt a patient when to
perform a self-test and can prompt a patient to seek immediate medical
attention, or to directly contact medical help, when so warranted.
