Mobile App Therapeutic Regimen Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for improving patient compliance with therapeutic regimens are inefficient, as they often rely on manual instructions and lack engagement, especially for chronic diseases, and do not effectively utilize technology to monitor and adjust treatment plans in real-time.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method using a mobile device application that receives and stores patient data, customizes therapeutic regimens based on physiological and pathological parameters, and provides daily updates, reminders, and feedback, along with communication tools to enhance compliance and interaction with healthcare professionals and support networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual instructions are used to improve patient compliance, then simplicity is maintained, but engagement and effectiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual instructions with an automated mobile device-based system that delivers personalized therapeutic regimens, reminders, and feedback electronically, substituting the mechanical/manual approach with a technological system that maintains simplicity while dramatically improving engagement and compliance effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables patients to self-monitor their compliance through the mobile application, automatically receive personalized feedback and adjustments, and actively engage with their treatment plan without requiring manual intervention from healthcare providers, thereby maintaining simplicity while improving effectiveness
2Reliability
If technology is used to monitor and adjust treatment plans in real-time, then compliance effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device application serves multiple functions including delivering therapeutic regimens, monitoring compliance, providing reminders, offering feedback, and enabling communication with healthcare providers, consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single universal platform that improves effectiveness without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device acts as an intermediary between the patient and the healthcare provider, automatically collecting compliance data, processing it through algorithms, and generating personalized feedback and regimen adjustments, thereby reducing the need for complex direct monitoring systems while maintaining high compliance effectiveness
3Reliability
If personalized and dynamic guidance is provided, then patient engagement is improved, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores patient data, therapeutic regimen parameters, and feedback algorithms in advance, enabling rapid generation of personalized guidance without requiring intensive real-time data processing, thus maintaining high patient engagement while managing data processing requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automated feedback loops where compliance data is collected, processed through pre-configured algorithms, and converted into personalized guidance and regimen adjustments that are immediately delivered to the patient, maintaining high engagement while using efficient data processing methodologies

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for improving compliance with a therapeutic regimen for each of a plurality of patients includes, for each patient, causing presentation by the server to the patient via an application running on the mobile computing device, on at least a daily basis, of (i) an updated list of items to be performed by the patient on the date of presentation on the updated list and (ii) a region on a display of the mobile computing device for reporting performance of items on the updated list so as to cause sending by the mobile computing device to the server of patient compliance data; and receiving at the server from the mobile computing device the patient compliance data, storing such data and using such data in calculating the updated list for presentation to the patient via the mobile computing device on a subsequent occasion.
