Systems and methods for managing regimen adherence

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for managing medical adherence. An exemplary method may include managing medical adherence utilizing data aggregating and processing to determine impact on a user's health based on their behavior related to prescribed medication. The method may entail utilizing data related to a medication regimen and patient behavior to determine a patient's compliance to the regimen in terms of dosage and time. These values may be utilized to calculate a medical adherence value representing a patient's adherence to a prescribed regimen. Responsive to determining low medical adherence, a notification may be generated which may result in an intervention with the patient.

1 . A computer-implemented method for managing a patient's medical adherence, the method comprising:
 receiving, using a processor, data related to the patient, the data including information related to a prescribed medication regimen having one or more medications, patient behavior data, a respective literacy level associated with each of the one or more medications;   calculating a compliance to dosage and a compliance to time for each of the one or more medications based on the received data;   calculating a drug adherence count associated with each of the one or more medications by summing at least two of the compliance to dosage, the compliance to time, and the respective literacy level associated with each of the one or more medications;   determining a daily medication adherence for each of the one or more medications;   calculating a daily regimen adherence value by summing the daily medication adherence of all of the one or more medications in the medication regimen;   calculating a daily regimen baseline value by re-calculating the daily regimen adherence value by utilizing a maximum potential value for the drug adherence count for each of the respective medications in the regimen associated with the patient;   determining a medical adherence value based on the daily regimen adherence value and the daily regimen baseline value; and   comparing the medical adherence with a threshold value.
