Pharmacy Server Medical Data Management System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current pharmacy websites and mobile apps are limited in providing customers with visibility and access to their medical information related to prescriptions, primarily serving order tracking purposes, and lack functionality for comprehensive medical data management.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that involves creating a unique ID code linked to a customer's medical data file stored on a server, allowing customers to authenticate and access their data via wireless communications, with features for adherence confirmation and additional data entry, storage, and retrieval, enabling comprehensive medical data management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If pharmacy websites and mobile apps are used for order tracking, then order status visibility is improved, but medical information accessibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the pharmacy system from order-tracking-only functionality to a multi-functional platform that simultaneously provides order status monitoring, medical information access, adherence tracking, and data management. The server and database architecture supports multiple user needs through a unified system, allowing customers to access both order information and comprehensive medical data without requiring separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides medical information into structured categories (prescription details, adherence data, patient demographics, laboratory results) and organizes them within a database linked by unique ID codes. This segmentation allows selective access to different types of information based on user needs while maintaining overall system organization and data integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive medical data is stored and accessed, then patient engagement is improved, but data security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between customers and the stored medical data. The server handles authentication through unique ID codes, manages data retrieval requests, and controls access permissions. This intermediary layer protects sensitive information by requiring authorized access mechanisms while enabling legitimate users to retrieve their medical data securely.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates digital copies of medical information stored in a database that can be accessed remotely. These digital copies include prescription details, adherence records, and patient data that can be retrieved and viewed by authorized users without transferring physical records, thereby maintaining security while enabling comprehensive data access.
3Measurement precision
If adherence confirmation data is collected, then medication compliance monitoring is improved, but data entry complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables patients to self-report their medication adherence by entering confirmation data directly into the system through user-friendly interfaces. Patients can mark when they took their medications, and this self-service data entry simplifies the process while maintaining accurate adherence tracking without requiring complex external monitoring systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback mechanisms that track and record adherence confirmation data, displaying compliance information to both patients and providers. This feedback loop enables continuous monitoring of medication compliance while keeping the data entry process simple through automated recording and reporting of patient-reported adherence events.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method includes: a pharmacy server receiving a customer ID code to allow a customer wireless access to his medical data file stored on the server; the server receiving adherence confirmation data from the customer and storing the adherence confirmation data into the medical data file to confirm that the customer is taking a prescribed medicine according to directions; and the server receiving additional data from the customer and storing the additional data into the medical data file, whereby the customer is provided with wireless access to enter, edit and retrieve data to and from his medical data file.
