Abstract:
A wireless prescription management and access system integrated with participating pharmacies and the user's wireless communication account improves patient compliance by alerting the user to take medications in accordance with dosage requirements by transmission of a wireless reminder signal to the user's cellular telephone or other personal wireless device. The system further functions to provide the user, as well as the attending physician, with remote on-demand access to the user's current prescription list as maintained by the user's pharmacy via a wireless link between the user's cellular phone and the pharmacy. The system is preferably integrated with patient and prescription records in a database maintained by the user's participating pharmacy to provide access to prescription records and other relevant patient information, such as allergies and emergency contact information.
