ABSTRACT:
The present invention monitors the disease process and health of a patient undergoing drug treatment. A microprocessor-based medication dispenser provides for recording a variety of clinical information data; such as illness symptoms, side effects, general health ratings, adverse drug interactions, illness attitudes, and lifestyle habits at various times during a drug delivery cycle. The date and time of entry of the specific clinical information is entered, and correlated with the date and time when the patient has taken or missed a particular medication. The effects of the presumptive blood levels of one or more medications can then be assessed, as to their impact on the disease process, and any additional effects on the body. The device can analyze the data and display a response to it, or download the data into another device. The second device can analyze the data, and upload new information into the first device, to tell the patient to alter his or her behavior in taking medication. In this fashion, better disease management will occur.
