Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical AI technology, specifically relating to an intelligent management system for medication adherence in heart failure patients. Background Technology

[0002] Heart failure (HF), a chronic cardiovascular disease that seriously threatens human health, is characterized by high morbidity, high disability rate, and high mortality rate. In the treatment of HF, patient medication adherence is a key factor affecting treatment effectiveness and prognosis. However, the current situation regarding medication adherence among HF patients is far from satisfactory, and many problems urgently need to be addressed. In the traditional model, doctors mainly rely on verbal feedback from patients during outpatient follow-up visits to understand their medication adherence, lacking real-time and accurate data support. Patients may fail to strictly follow medical advice due to forgetfulness, misunderstanding, or intentional negligence, making it difficult for doctors to detect and intervene in a timely manner. This not only significantly reduces treatment effectiveness but may also lead to relapses, increasing hospitalization rates and medical costs. Simultaneously, existing patient education methods are relatively limited, relying mainly on paper materials or verbal explanations, which are insufficient to meet the needs of patients with varying levels of education, resulting in inconsistent levels of understanding of medication. In terms of follow-up management, the lack of a scientific stratification strategy prevents the rational allocation of medical resources based on patient risk levels, leading to high-risk patients not receiving timely attention and low-risk patients wasting resources. Furthermore, the treatment process for HF patients often lacks effective external support. Family members often lack the professional knowledge and skills to assist patients in monitoring medication use; patients also lack a platform for communication, making it difficult for them to share treatment experiences and insights. These problems can easily lead to feelings of loneliness and helplessness in patients during treatment, affecting their confidence and adherence to treatment.

[0003] Existing technologies have shortcomings such as incomplete and real-time collection of patient medication data, lack of accurate risk stratification assessment of adherence, lack of personalized education methods, failure to follow up management based on risk stratification, lack of social support and linkage, and unintuitive and unmotivating treatment feedback. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an intelligent management system for medication adherence in heart failure patients. This system resolves problems such as incomplete and real-time medication data collection, difficulty in accurately assessing adherence risk, lack of personalized medication education, failure to categorize follow-up management according to risk levels, lack of social support, and unintuitive and unmotivating treatment feedback, all of which contribute to low patient medication adherence.
