MONITORING MEDICATION ADHERENCE

1 - 20 . (canceled)

21 . A system for monitoring participant medication adherence in one or more clinical trials, the system comprising a computer configured to output to a display:

a graphical user interface comprising a summary page providing an overview of each clinical trial participant of a plurality of clinical trial participants in a graphical format, each clinical trial participant of the plurality of clinical trial participants being represented by a corresponding unique clinical trial participant identifier;

a plurality of clinical trial participant identifier modifiers applicable to modify a graphical representation of one or more of the clinical trial participant identifiers in the summary page, the plurality of modifiers including different types of modifiers, each different type of modifier being indicative of a different clinical trial participant status, wherein at least one modifier provides an indication of a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by a clinical trial participant; and

detailed information related to a subset of the clinical trial participant identifiers, wherein the at least one modifier that is indicative of a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by the clinical trial participant is further indicative of a level of deviation in compliance.

22 . The system of claim 21 , further comprising a computing device employing computer vision, wherein the computing device is operable to determine a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by at least one of the clinical trial participants by performing real-time automated video activity sequence recognition operations comprising:

determining one or more procedures for administering a prescription regimen in accordance with a clinical trial;

identifying one or more video activity sequences associated with the one or more determined procedures;

capturing video activity sequences of the at least one clinical trial participant attempting to the prescription regimen;

storing the captured video activity sequences to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and

determining, automatically, in real time in accordance with the captured video activity sequences, whether the at least one clinical trial participant has properly administered the prescription regimen.

23 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the detailed information further includes a change in color indicative of the level of deviation in compliance.

24 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the detailed information further includes a change in shape indicative of the level of deviation in compliance.

25 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the detailed information further includes a visual coding indicative of the level of deviation in compliance.

26 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the detailed information further includes information about a medication prescribing physician associated with at least one clinical trial participant represented by the corresponding clinical trial participant indicator.

27 . The system of claim 26 , further comprising a communication system for communicating with the medication prescribing physician.

28 . The system of claim 21 , further comprising a communication system for communicating with one or more of the plurality of clinical trial participants.

29 . A method for monitoring participant medication adherence in one or more clinical trials, comprising:

outputting from a computer to a display, a graphical user interface comprising a summary page depicting an overview of each clinical trial participant of a plurality of clinical trial participants in a graphical format, each clinical trial participant of the plurality of clinical trial participants being represented by a corresponding unique clinical trial participant identifier;

designating, on the display, one or more clinical trial participant identifier modifiers applicable to modify a graphical representation of one or more of the clinical trial participant identifiers in the summary view, the plurality of modifiers including different types of modifiers, each different type of modifier being indicative of a different clinical trial participant status, wherein at least one modifier provides an indication of a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by a clinical trial participant;

detailed information related to a subset of clinical trial participant identifiers, wherein the at least one modifier indicative of a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by a clinical trial participant is further indicative of a level of the deviation in compliance.

30 . The method of claim 29 , further comprising:

receiving a command to select a particular clinical trial participant identifier; and

responsive to receiving the command to select the particular clinical trial participant identifier, displaying, on the display, a more detailed set of information related to the selected clinical trial participant identifier.

31 . The method of claim 30 , comprising determining a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by at least one clinical trial participant in accordance with real-time automated video activity sequence recognition, wherein determining the deviation comprises:

determining one or more procedures for administering a prescription regimen in accordance with a clinical trial;

identifying one or more video activity sequences associated with the one or more determined procedures;

capturing video activity sequences of the at least one clinical trial participant attempting to administer the prescription regimen;

storing the captured video activity sequences to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and

determining, automatically in real time, in accordance with the captured video activity sequences, whether the at least one clinical trial participant has properly administered prescription regimen.

32 . The method of claim 29 , further comprising broadcasting information related to one or more changes to a medication protocol to one or more of the plurality of clinical trial participants by selecting one or more of the clinical trial participant indicators from the summary screen on the display.

33 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the broadcasting information comprises video, audio or written instructions.

34 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the broadcasting information comprises a warning.

35 . A system for monitoring medication adherence in one or more patients, the system comprising a computer configured to output to a display:

a graphical user interface comprising a summary page providing an overview of each of the one or more patients in a graphical format, each of the one or more patients being represented by a corresponding unique patient identifier;

a plurality of patient identifier modifiers applicable to modify a graphical representation of one or more of the patient identifiers in the summary view, the plurality of modifiers including different types of modifiers, each different type of modifier being indicative of a different patient status, wherein at least one modifier is indicative of a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by a patient; and

detailed information related to a subset of the patient identifiers, wherein the at least one modifier indicative of a deviation in compliance with a medical protocol by the patient is further indicative of a level of deviation in compliance for the patient.

36 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the computer comprises a processor operable to perform operations comprising:

determining one or more procedures for administering a prescription regimen;

identifying one or more video activity sequences associated with the one or more determined procedures;

capturing video activity sequences of at least one patient attempting to administer the prescription regimen;

storing the captured video activity sequences to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and

determining, automatically in real time, in accordance with the captured video activity sequences, whether the at least one patient has properly administered prescription regimen.

37 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the detailed information further includes a change in color indicative of the level of deviation in compliance.

38 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the detailed information further includes a change in shape indicative of the level of deviation in compliance.

39 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the detailed information further includes a visual coding indicative of the level of deviation in compliance.

40 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the detailed information includes information about a medication prescribing physician associated with the patient represented by the corresponding patient indicator.
