ABSTRACT:
A Medical Reminder System has an electronic messaging watch which is programmed with a medication regimen for the patient via an infrared or other electronic data transfer link to a health care provider's computer system having custom software. The programmable watch sounds an alarm when a medication is to be taken, or a health care procedure is to be performed. Each watch is programmed with the patient's name, individual medicine names, dosage amounts and specified medication times, as well as with alerts for appointments, prescription refills and medical events. Nonmedical messages may also be programmed into the watch. The alarm consists of distinctive monotone beeps and is sounded by the watch at the preset times programmed by the health care provider. The medication information scrolls across the screen when the patient records the event by pressing a button on the watch. The watch is programmed by placing it into a custom cradle that facilitates information transfer between the computer and the watch by means of infrared or other electronic signals. The watch monitors and graphically shows which medications have been taken on a daily basis, as well as allowing the patient to record "medical events" into the watch's memory, allowing the level of compliance and patient history to be reviewed.
