Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical intelligent monitoring technology, specifically involving a medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases. Background Technology
[0002] As a comprehensive medical department, the Department of Internal Medicine treats a large number of patients with chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are characterized by long durations, long treatment cycles, multiple medications, and the need for long-term adherence to prescribed medications. Patient medication adherence directly affects treatment outcomes, disease control, and the risk of complications. Currently, medication adherence among chronic disease patients in the Department of Internal Medicine is generally low, mainly manifested as missed doses, incorrect doses, unauthorized discontinuation of medication, and improper dosage adjustments. This leads to relapses, poor treatment results, and even worsening of the condition, increasing medical costs and the burden on healthcare management.
[0003] Existing technologies include some medication reminder or adherence monitoring systems, but these systems generally have many shortcomings, failing to meet the medication management needs of patients with chronic internal medicine diseases and exhibiting significant technical limitations: First, the monitoring dimensions are singular, mostly only monitoring the patient's medication time, failing to combine multi-dimensional data such as physiological signs, medication environment, and medication awareness for comprehensive assessment, leading to inaccurate adherence assessments; second, the reminder strategies are fixed, using universal reminder methods and intensities, unable to be personalized according to the patient's adherence level, lifestyle habits, and physiological state, resulting in frequent false or missed reminders; third, the intervention measures lack specificity, employing uniform interventions. The proposed solutions suffer from several shortcomings: First, they fail to tailor interventions to individual patient conditions, including chronic disease type, duration, and factors influencing adherence, resulting in poor intervention outcomes. Second, data storage is insecure, lacking dedicated encryption mechanisms, posing a risk of patient privacy breaches, and exhibiting data redundancy and low query efficiency. Third, the system suffers from poor stability, insufficient computational precision, and cross-terminal data asynchrony, hindering long-term stable operation. Fourth, the lack of a dedicated adherence assessment system and computational model for internal medicine results in poor adaptability and an inability to accommodate the medication characteristics of various chronic diseases. Fifth, the inadequate early warning mechanism leads to untimely warnings, a high false alarm rate, and a lack of coordinated response capabilities, making it difficult to address medication and adherence abnormalities promptly.
[0004] Furthermore, most existing related systems rely on generalized hardware interfaces and software algorithms, resulting in severe technological homogenization and insufficient innovation. They are unable to achieve comprehensive and refined management of medication adherence for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases, and lack embedded proprietary mathematical formulas, resulting in simple operational logic, low assessment and prediction accuracy, and failing to meet the needs of clinical licensing and practical applications. Therefore, developing a medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform that can circumvent the shortcomings of existing technologies, adapt to the medication use scenarios of chronic internal medicine diseases, and achieve multi-dimensional monitoring, personalized reminders, precise intervention, and safe and stable operation has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing medication adherence monitoring systems, such as incomplete monitoring, inaccurate reminders, weak intervention targeting, data insecurity, system instability, poor adaptability, and insufficient computational precision. It provides a medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases, specifically adapted to medication scenarios for various chronic diseases within the field of internal medicine. Through multi-module collaborative linkage, combined with a dedicated mathematical calculation model and encryption algorithm, it achieves full-process, multi-dimensional, high-precision monitoring of medication adherence, personalized reminders, precise intervention, and safe and stable operation, thereby improving patient medication adherence, enhancing treatment outcomes, and reducing the management burden on medical staff.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solution: a medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases, comprising a patient-side interaction module, a multi-source data acquisition module, a core computation and analysis module, an intelligent reminder module, a medical staff management module, a data storage encryption module, an adherence intervention module, an abnormality warning module, a cross-terminal synchronization module, and a system self-testing and calibration module. Each module is deployed in a distributed architecture, achieving bidirectional data interaction through a dedicated encryption protocol. Furthermore, each module operates independently yet collaboratively, without relying on the hardware interfaces and software of existing medication monitoring systems. This algorithm is specifically designed for medication scenarios in various chronic diseases within internal medicine (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, sequelae of stroke, etc.). It enables full-process, multi-dimensional, and high-precision monitoring and personalized reminders of medication adherence. It also constructs a dedicated adherence assessment system and intervention logic. The specific architecture meets the following requirements: data transmission latency between modules ≤50ms, data interaction success rate ≥99.92%, continuous system stability ≥99.87%, and all data calculations are based on a dedicated mathematical model, avoiding the single-dimensional monitoring and generalized reminder logic of existing technologies.
[0007] Furthermore, the multi-source data acquisition module is used to collect comprehensive medication-related data from patients with chronic internal medicine diseases, avoiding the single data acquisition mode in existing technologies. Specifically, the collected data includes patient basic information, medication orders, real-time medication behavior data, physiological sign correlation data, medication environment data, and medication feedback data. Patient basic information includes age, gender, disease duration, complication type, drug allergy history, liver and kidney function indicators, education level, and medication awareness. Medication orders include drug type, specifications, single dose, frequency, medication time window, treatment course, discontinuation criteria, and dosage adjustment rules. Real-time medication behavior data... Data is collected using non-invasive sensing technology, including actual medication time, actual dosage, number of missed doses, number of incorrect doses, duration of unauthorized discontinuation, and dosage adjustment behavior; physiological indicators directly related to medication efficacy, such as blood pressure, blood glucose, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate, are collected every 30 minutes, with the frequency increased to every 5 minutes under abnormal conditions; environmental data includes ambient temperature and humidity, and light intensity (to avoid misjudgments of medication adherence due to improper drug storage); medication feedback data includes post-medication discomfort symptoms, evaluation of medication convenience, and feedback on factors affecting adherence; a noise reduction algorithm is used during data collection, and the noise reduction formula is as follows: ,in These are the data values after noise reduction. These are the original collected data values. The sample size for a single data collection group ( ≥30), This is the average of the original data. The noise reduction coefficient (range 0.02-0.08, dynamically adjusted according to data type) ensures that the accuracy of the collected data is ≥99.7%, and the collection method does not affect the patient's normal life, avoiding the problems of existing invasive collection and data omission and miscollection.
[0008] Furthermore, the core computation and analysis module, as the core processing unit of the platform, avoids the generalized computational logic and single evaluation model in existing technologies. It adopts a multi-dimensional fusion computational algorithm, based on the full amount of data collected by the multi-source data acquisition module, to achieve accurate quantitative assessment of patient medication adherence, prediction of medication behavior trends, and dynamic optimization of reminder strategies. Specifically, it includes three sub-units: a adherence quantitative assessment unit, a medication trend prediction unit, and a reminder strategy optimization unit. The adherence quantitative assessment unit constructs a specific adherence assessment index system for chronic internal medicine diseases. The indicators include six core indicators: medication on-time rate, dosage accuracy rate, treatment course completion rate, missed dose frequency, accidental dose frequency, and duration of unauthorized discontinuation of medication. The weights of each indicator are determined using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and the weight calculation formula is as follows: ; in For the first Weight of each indicator ( =1,2,...,6), For the first A senior internal medicine expert on the first Scoring of each indicator ( ≥15 (score range 1-10), and meets the following conditions The final compliance score calculation formula is as follows: ,in The compliance score is calculated as follows (range 0-100 points). For the first The actual score of each indicator (range 0-100 points); based on the comprehensive score, compliance is divided into 5 levels: high compliance ( ≥90 points), high compliance (80 points ≤ <90 points), moderate compliance (65 points ≤ <80 points), low compliance (50 points ≤ <65 points), low compliance ( <50 points), each level corresponds to a specific intervention threshold and reminder intensity, avoiding the problems of overly coarse compliance grading and inaccurate assessment in existing technologies.
[0009] Furthermore, the medication trend prediction unit employs an improved time-series prediction algorithm to overcome the limitations of existing single-trend prediction models. Based on patients' historical medication behavior data (containing at least 3 months of complete data), it predicts the trend of changes in patients' medication adherence over the next 1-4 weeks. The prediction formula is as follows: ,in For the first Zhou's compliance prediction score For the first Zhou's actual compliance score This is a trend adjustment factor (range 0.05-0.12, dynamically adjusted according to the duration of the disease; the longer the disease duration, the higher the trend adjustment factor). (The smaller the value) To backtrack the number of weeks for historical data ( ≥12), For the first The difference in weekly physiological signs (calculated by comparing current physiological sign data with the average of previous periods). The physiological sign influence coefficient (range 0.10-0.18, dynamically adjusted according to the type of chronic disease, including patients with diabetes and hypertension). (Value ≥ 0.15); prediction error controlled within ±3.5 points, prediction accuracy ≥ 92.3%, capable of identifying the risk of declining adherence in advance, providing data support for the implementation of subsequent intervention measures; the reminder strategy optimization unit dynamically optimizes the reminder parameters based on adherence scores, medication trend prediction results, and patient medication feedback data, with the optimization formula as follows: The optimized reminder lead time (in minutes). The standard reminder time is set in advance (default 30 minutes, which can be adjusted by medical staff). The current overall compliance score, To predict compliance scores, To optimize the coefficient (ranging from 0.03 to 0.07), and ensure that the reminder strategy is highly compatible with patients' medication habits and compliance levels, the problem of fixed reminder strategies and inability to be dynamically adjusted in existing technologies is avoided.
[0010] Furthermore, the intelligent reminder module avoids the problems of single-form reminders, fixed reminder intensity, and high false alarm rates in existing technologies. It adopts a multi-mode integrated reminder approach, combining patient compliance level, medication scenario, physiological signs, and medication feedback to achieve personalized and hierarchical reminders. Specifically, it includes three sub-units: a reminder form adaptation unit, a reminder intensity adjustment unit, and a false alarm avoidance unit. The reminder forms include voice reminders, text reminders, vibration reminders, light reminders, and reminders linked to the medical staff's device. Patients or medical staff can choose according to the patient's lifestyle (e.g., whether they have hearing impairment or are asleep), and it supports simultaneous reminders of multiple forms. The reminder intensity adjustment unit dynamically adjusts the reminder intensity based on the compliance level, with the intensity grading formula as follows: ,in The current alert level (range 1-5). The lowest alert level (Level 1). This is the highest alert level (Level 5). The current overall adherence score is used. The lower the adherence, the higher the reminder intensity, and the reminder interval gradually shortens (30-minute reminder interval for high adherence, 5-minute reminder interval for low adherence, until the patient confirms medication use). The false reminder avoidance unit determines whether the patient has completed medication use by identifying the patient's medication behavior data and physiological sign data, avoiding duplicate and false reminders. The determination formula is: ; in This indicates that the medication has been taken and no further reminder is needed. This indicates that the medication has not been completed and a reminder is needed. This refers to the actual time of medication administration. For standard medication time, This is the actual dosage. For standard medication dosage, Physiological data at the time of medication administration. , Within the normal range of physiological signs, the false alarm rate should be controlled at ≤0.8%.
[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned medical staff management module avoids the problems of existing medical staff terminals having limited functionality and being unable to achieve precise intervention and batch management. It is specifically adapted to the work scenarios of internal medicine medical staff, enabling full-process management, precise intervention, and batch operations for medication adherence of patients under their jurisdiction. Specifically, it includes five sub-units: patient management, adherence viewing, intervention plan formulation, batch operation, and data statistical analysis. The patient management unit supports medical staff in classifying and managing patients according to chronic disease type, adherence level, disease duration, and ward. It allows adding, editing, and deleting patient information, viewing complete patient medication records (including basic information, medical orders, medication behavior data, physiological signs data, adherence scores, intervention records, etc.), and supports rapid retrieval and fuzzy search of patient information with a retrieval response time of ≤1 second. Adherence... The viewing unit allows healthcare professionals to view a single patient's real-time adherence score, historical adherence change curve, specific scores for various assessment indicators, and analysis of the reasons for adherence changes (automatically generated based on medication behavior data and physiological sign data). The intervention plan development unit allows healthcare professionals to develop personalized adherence intervention plans based on patients' adherence levels, medication trends, physiological signs, and complications. These plans include medication guidance, psychological counseling suggestions, dosage adjustment reminders, and follow-up plans, and the intervention plans can be automatically synchronized to the patient's end for real-time tracking of intervention effects. The batch operation unit supports healthcare professionals in simultaneously reminding multiple patients, batch distributing intervention plans, and batch developing follow-up plans, improving healthcare management efficiency. The data statistical analysis unit automatically calculates the overall adherence of patients under their management, using statistical formulas including: the overall adherence mean formula. (in The overall compliance mean. For the first Patient compliance scores, Formula for total number of patients under management and percentage of each compliance level. (in For the first The percentage of each compliance level For the first The number of patients at each compliance level =1,2,...,5), the statistical results are displayed in the form of charts and graphs, and statistical reports can be exported, providing data support for the management of medication for chronic diseases in internal medicine.
[0012] Furthermore, the data storage encryption module avoids the problems of insecure data storage, data redundancy, low query efficiency, and high privacy leakage risks in existing technologies. It adopts a layered encrypted storage architecture combined with a dedicated encryption algorithm to achieve secure storage, efficient querying, and privacy protection of all patient medication-related data. Specifically, it includes four sub-units: a data layered storage unit, a data encryption unit, a data backup unit, and a data cleaning unit. The data layered storage unit divides the data into three levels: core data (patient basic information, medical order information, adherence scores), general data (medication behavior data, physiological sign data), and temporary data (medication environment data, temporary medication feedback records). Each level uses a different storage method: core data uses a distributed database, general data uses a relational database, and temporary data uses a cache. The storage capacity is dynamically expandable, supporting a single patient data storage duration of ≥5 years and a data query response time of ≤0.5s. The data encryption unit uses a dedicated symmetric encryption algorithm to encrypt the core data throughout the entire process. The encryption formula is: ,in For encrypted data, For the original core data, Use a dedicated encryption key (automatically generated by the system, updated every 30 days, key length ≥ 256 bits). The encryption offset (values ranging from 100 to 200, randomly generated) is used to decrypt the following formula: To ensure core data is not leaked or tampered with during storage and transmission, the data backup unit employs a combination of real-time and scheduled backups. Real-time backups are performed every minute, while scheduled backups are performed daily at 2:00 AM. Backup data is stored on multiple off-site servers, achieving a backup success rate of ≥99.99%. It supports data recovery from accidental deletion (recovery time ≤10 minutes). The data cleanup unit automatically cleans up expired temporary data (cleanup cycle of 7 days) and compresses redundant data with a compression ratio of ≥80%, ensuring the efficient operation of the storage system. Simultaneously, it strictly adheres to medical data privacy protection regulations, authorizing only medical staff and the patients themselves to view patient data, thus mitigating the risk of privacy leaks.
[0013] Furthermore, the adherence intervention module avoids the problems of single intervention measures, weak targeting, and poor intervention effects in existing technologies. Based on the adherence score, medication trend prediction results, and intervention plans formulated by medical staff obtained from the core computing and analysis module, it realizes personalized, full-process intervention for patients' medication adherence. Specifically, it includes three sub-units: an intervention measure matching unit, an intervention effect tracking unit, and an intervention plan adjustment unit. The intervention measure matching unit matches corresponding intervention measures according to the patient's adherence level, chronic disease type, disease duration, medication awareness level, and factors affecting adherence. Patients with high adherence only receive medication reminder reinforcement services, while patients with low or no adherence receive comprehensive intervention measures such as medication guidance, psychological counseling, family interaction, and follow-up reminders. Moreover, the intervention measures can be dynamically adjusted based on patient feedback. The intervention effect tracking unit tracks the implementation effect of the intervention measures in real time, using an intervention effect evaluation formula: ,in The intervention effect rate (range: -100% to +100%). For adherence scores after intervention, For compliance scores before intervention, ≥10% indicates effective intervention, E<0% indicates ineffective intervention, requiring adjustment of the intervention plan; the intervention plan adjustment unit automatically or manually adjusts the intervention plan based on the intervention effect evaluation results, patient medication feedback, and changes in medication trends. The adjustment principle is: if ≥20%, maintain the current intervention plan; if 10% ≤ If <20%, optimize the frequency of intervention implementation; if If the rate is less than 10%, change the type of intervention to ensure that the intervention effect continues to improve, and ultimately achieve the goal of increasing patient compliance by an average of ≥15%.
[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned anomaly warning module avoids the problems of untimely warnings, fixed warning thresholds, high false alarm rates, and lack of coordinated response in existing technologies. Based on medication behavior data and physiological sign data collected by the multi-source data acquisition module and the calculation results of the core calculation and analysis module, it achieves real-time warning and coordinated response for medication abnormalities, compliance abnormalities, and physiological sign abnormalities. Specifically, it includes three sub-units: an anomaly identification unit, a warning threshold dynamic adjustment unit, and a warning coordinated response unit. The anomaly types include: missed doses ≥3 consecutive times, dosage deviation ≥10%, unauthorized discontinuation of medication ≥24 hours, a sudden drop in compliance score ≥15 points (within 24 hours), and physiological sign data exceeding the normal range for ≥10 minutes. The anomaly identification unit uses an anomaly identification algorithm, with the following formula: ; in This indicates an anomaly and requires triggering an alert. This indicates no abnormalities and no warning is needed. This represents the number of consecutive missed doses. For the duration of unauthorized discontinuation of medication, For the current compliance score, The adherence score is based on data from 24 hours prior; the warning threshold is dynamically adjusted based on the patient's disease duration, complication type, and medication history data. The adjustment formula is as follows: ,in The optimized warning threshold, The standard warning threshold is... The warning threshold is set at the duration of the illness (in years). The longer the illness duration, the more lenient the warning threshold, to avoid excessive warnings. The warning linkage and response unit immediately sends a warning reminder (at the highest intensity) to the patient's end after the warning is triggered, and at the same time sends warning information (including abnormality type, abnormal data, and patient information) to the corresponding medical staff end. If no action is taken within 30 minutes after the warning is issued, the system will automatically contact the patient's family (with pre-reserved contact information) and generate a warning response record, recording the warning time, abnormality type, response method, and response effect. The false alarm rate is controlled at ≤1.2%, and the warning response time is ≤10s.
[0015] Furthermore, the cross-terminal synchronization module and the system self-test calibration module work together to avoid the problems of cross-terminal data asynchrony, system instability, and decreased computational accuracy in existing technologies. The cross-terminal synchronization module supports real-time data synchronization between patient terminals (mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches), medical staff terminals (computers, mobile phones), and the server, using a dedicated synchronization protocol. The synchronization formula is as follows: ,in For the synchronized data, For data from the data source terminal, For the target terminal's data, The synchronization weight is set to 0.8-0.9, with higher priority data source terminals. (The larger the value), the synchronization delay is ≤100ms, and the data synchronization accuracy is ≥99.95%, ensuring that the data viewed by patients and medical staff is consistent; the system self-test calibration module adopts a combination of periodic self-testing and real-time calibration, with a self-testing cycle of once every 2 hours. The self-testing content includes the operating status of each module, data transmission status, calculation accuracy, and storage system status. The formula for judging whether the self-test is qualified is: ; in Self=0 indicates that the self-test is passed; Self=0 indicates that the self-test is failed. This indicates the module's operating status (1 indicates normal operation, 0 indicates an error). For data transmission delay, This is due to computational precision error. To store remaining capacity; if the self-test fails, an immediate system alarm will be triggered, and automatic calibration will be performed simultaneously. The calibration formula is: Where Cal is the calibrated operational parameter, These are standard operational parameters. To minimize computational accuracy errors, the calibration success rate is ≥99.8%. If calibration fails, the system automatically switches to the backup system to ensure continuous and stable operation of the platform and that the computational accuracy always meets the requirements.

The prediction accuracy rate is ≥92.3%, and the compliance assessment error is ≤3.5 points, which is significantly better than existing technologies.
[0018] (3) To avoid the defects of fixed reminders in existing technologies, a multi-mode integrated reminder method is adopted. The intensity and interval of reminders are dynamically adjusted in combination with the patient's compliance level. Through the false reminder avoidance formula, the false reminder rate is controlled at ≤0.8%, so as to realize personalized and precise reminders, improve the patient's medication experience, and reduce missed doses and false doses.
[0019] (4) Avoiding the shortcomings of the single management function of the medical and nursing terminal in the existing technology, the medical and nursing terminal management module supports patient classification management, compliance viewing, personalized intervention plan formulation, batch operation and data statistical analysis. Combined with exclusive statistical formulas, it provides data support for the management of medication for chronic diseases in internal medicine and improves the efficiency of medical and nursing management.
[0020] (5) Avoid the data security risks in existing technologies, adopt a layered encrypted storage architecture and exclusive encryption and decryption formulas, and combine real-time backup and regular backup mechanisms to ensure the safe storage and privacy protection of patient data, strictly follow the relevant regulations on medical data privacy protection, and the risk of data leakage is close to 0.
[0021] (6) Avoid the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of weak targeting and poor intervention effect, construct a personalized intervention system, combine with a special intervention effect evaluation formula, track the intervention effect in real time and dynamically adjust the intervention plan to ensure that the patient compliance is improved by an average of ≥15% and improve the treatment effect of chronic diseases.
[0022] (7) To avoid the shortcomings of untimely early warning and high false alarm rate in the existing technology, an anomaly identification formula and a dynamic adjustment formula for early warning threshold are adopted to realize real-time identification and accurate early warning of abnormal situations. The false alarm rate is controlled at ≤1.2%, the early warning response time is ≤10s, and it has the ability to handle various abnormal situations in a timely manner.
[0023] (8) By avoiding the defects of cross-terminal data asynchrony, system instability and decreased calculation accuracy in the existing technology, the cross-terminal synchronization module and the system self-test calibration module, combined with the exclusive synchronization formula and calibration formula, ensure that the cross-terminal data synchronization accuracy is ≥99.95%, the system continuous operation stability is ≥99.87%, and the calculation accuracy always meets the clinical needs.

8. The medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases according to claim 1, characterized in that: The adherence intervention module avoids the problems of single intervention measures, weak targeting, and poor intervention effects in existing technologies. Based on the adherence score, medication trend prediction results, and intervention plans formulated by medical staff obtained from the core computing and analysis module, it realizes personalized, full-process intervention for patients' medication adherence. Specifically, it includes three sub-units: an intervention measure matching unit, an intervention effect tracking unit, and an intervention plan adjustment unit. The intervention measure matching unit matches corresponding intervention measures according to the patient's adherence level, chronic disease type, disease duration, medication knowledge level, and factors affecting adherence. Patients with high adherence only receive medication reminder reinforcement services, while patients with low or no adherence receive comprehensive intervention measures such as medication guidance, psychological counseling, family interaction, and follow-up reminders. The intervention measures can be dynamically adjusted based on patient feedback. The intervention effect tracking unit tracks the implementation effect of the intervention measures in real time, using an intervention effect evaluation formula: ,in The intervention effect rate (range: -100% to +100%). For adherence scores after intervention, For compliance scores before intervention, ≥10% indicates that the intervention is effective, while E<0% indicates that the intervention is ineffective and the intervention plan needs to be adjusted. The intervention program adjustment unit automatically or manually adjusts the intervention program based on intervention effectiveness evaluation results, patient medication feedback, and changes in medication trends. The adjustment principle is: if ≥20%, maintain the current intervention plan; if 10% ≤ If <20%, optimize the frequency of intervention implementation; if If the rate is less than 10%, change the type of intervention to ensure that the intervention effect continues to improve, and ultimately achieve the goal of increasing patient compliance by an average of ≥15%.
9. The medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases according to claim 1, characterized in that: The aforementioned anomaly warning module avoids the problems of untimely warnings, fixed warning thresholds, high false alarm rates, and lack of coordinated response in existing technologies. Based on medication behavior data and physiological sign data collected by the multi-source data acquisition module and the calculation results of the core computation and analysis module, it achieves real-time warnings and coordinated response for medication anomalies, adherence anomalies, and physiological sign anomalies. Specifically, it includes three sub-units: an anomaly identification unit, a dynamic warning threshold adjustment unit, and a warning coordinated response unit. Anomaly types include: missed doses ≥3 consecutive times, dosage deviation ≥10%, unauthorized discontinuation of medication ≥24 hours, a sudden drop in adherence score ≥15 points (within 24 hours), and physiological sign data exceeding the normal range for ≥10 minutes. The anomaly identification unit uses an anomaly identification algorithm with the following formula: in This indicates an anomaly and requires triggering an alert. This indicates no abnormalities and no warning is needed. This represents the number of consecutive missed doses. For the duration of unauthorized discontinuation of medication, For the current compliance score, The adherence score is based on data from 24 hours prior; the warning threshold is dynamically adjusted based on the patient's disease duration, complication type, and medication history data. The adjustment formula is as follows: ,in The optimized warning threshold, The standard warning threshold is... The warning threshold is set at the duration of the illness (in years). The longer the illness duration, the more lenient the warning threshold, to avoid excessive warnings. The warning linkage and response unit immediately sends a warning reminder (at the highest intensity) to the patient's end after the warning is triggered, and at the same time sends warning information (including abnormality type, abnormal data, and patient information) to the corresponding medical staff end. If no action is taken within 30 minutes after the warning is issued, the system will automatically contact the patient's family (with pre-reserved contact information) and generate a warning response record, recording the warning time, abnormality type, response method, and response effect. The false alarm rate is controlled at ≤1.2%, and the warning response time is ≤10s.
10. The medication adherence monitoring and reminder platform for patients with chronic internal medicine diseases according to claim 1, characterized in that: The cross-terminal synchronization module and system self-test calibration module work together to avoid the problems of cross-terminal data asynchrony, system instability, and decreased computational accuracy in existing technologies. The cross-terminal synchronization module supports real-time data synchronization between patient terminals (mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches), medical staff terminals (computers, mobile phones), and the server, using a dedicated synchronization protocol. The synchronization formula is as follows: ,in For the synchronized data, For data from the data source terminal, For the target terminal's data, The synchronization weight is set to 0.8-0.9, with higher priority data source terminals. (The larger the value), the synchronization delay is ≤100ms, and the data synchronization accuracy is ≥99.95%, ensuring that the data viewed by patients and medical staff is consistent; the system self-test calibration module adopts a combination of periodic self-testing and real-time calibration, with a self-testing cycle of once every 2 hours. The self-testing content includes the operating status of each module, data transmission status, calculation accuracy, and storage system status. The formula for judging whether the self-test is qualified is: in Self=0 indicates that the self-test is passed; Self=0 indicates that the self-test is failed. This indicates the module's operating status (1 indicates normal operation, 0 indicates an error). For data transmission delay, This is due to computational precision error. To store remaining capacity; if the self-test fails, an immediate system alarm will be triggered, and automatic calibration will be performed simultaneously. The calibration formula is: Where Cal is the calibrated operational parameter, These are standard operational parameters. To minimize computational accuracy errors, the calibration success rate is ≥99.8%. If calibration fails, the system automatically switches to the backup system to ensure continuous and stable operation of the platform and that the computational accuracy always meets the requirements.
