Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring accurate, real-time medicament device events, performing analytics on that data, and providing notifications are described. In various embodiments, an application server receives controller medication events, analyzes the events, associated event times, and controller medication dosage plans to characterize event times and send notifications for future doses. The controller medication dosage plan may specify a dose time for a planned dose, a narrow time window comprising the dose time, and an expanded time window comprising the narrow time window and longer in duration than the narrow time window, and the events may be characterized based on their time relative to the dose time, the time windows, and other events.

Claims (68)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a first controller medication usage event recorded at a first recorded time from a computing device associated with a medicament device;

determining whether the first recorded time is within a first time window inclusive of a first scheduled time for a planned dose specified in a controller medication dosage plan;

in response to determining that the first recorded time is not within the first time window, characterizing the first event as an off-schedule dose;

receiving a second controller medication usage event recorded at a second recorded time later than the first recorded time from the computing device;

determining whether the second recorded time is within the first time window;

in response to determining that the second recorded time is within the first time window, recharacterizing the first event as an excessive dose and characterizing the second event as an on-time dose;

in response to characterizing the first event as the off excessive dose, generating a notification indicative of the characterization of the first event as the excessive dose; and

providing the notification to the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first scheduled time is in the middle of the first time window.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification recommends a patient of the medicament device to skip a subsequent dose.

4. The method of claim 1 , event further comprising:

in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the first time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time;

in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time, characterizing the second event as an excessive dose; and

in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time:

recharacterizing the first event as an excessive dose, and

characterizing the second event as an off-schedule dose.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controller medication dosage plan further specifies a second scheduled time for another planned dose, the method further comprising:

in response to determining that the second recorded time is not within the first time window:

determining whether the second recorded time is within a second time window inclusive of the second scheduled time,

in response to determining that the second recorded time is within the second time window, characterizing the second event as an on-time dose; and

in response to determining that the second recorded time is not within the second time window, characterizing the second event as an off-schedule dose.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

generating a notification indicative of the characterization of the second event.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

wherein in response to determining that the first recorded time is within the time window, characterizing the first event as an on-time dose;

in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are within the first time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time;

in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time, characterizing the second event as an excessive dose; and

in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time:

recharacterizing the first event as an excessive dose, and

characterizing the second event as an on-time dose.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

in response to characterizing the second event as the excessive dose, generating a second notification based on the characterization; and

providing the second notification to the computing device.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the process to perform steps comprising:

receiving a first controller medication usage event recorded at a first recorded time from a computing device associated with a medicament device;

determining whether the first recorded time is within a first time window inclusive of a first scheduled time for a planned dose specified in a controller medication dosage plan;

in response to determining that the first recorded time is not within the first time window, characterizing the first event as an off-schedule dose;

receiving a second controller medication usage event recorded at a second recorded time later than the first recorded time from the computing device;

determining whether the second recorded time is within the first time window;

in response to determining that the second recorded time is within the first time window, recharacterizing the first event as an excessive dose and characterizing the second event as an on-time dose;

in response to characterizing the first event as the excessive dose, generating a notification based on the characterization of the first event as the excessive dose; and

providing the notification to the computing device.

10. The storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first scheduled time is in the middle of the first time window.

11. The storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the notification recommends a patient of the medicament device to skip a subsequent dose.

12. The storage medium of claim 9 , event the steps further comprising:

in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the first time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time;

in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time, characterizing the second event as an excessive dose; and

in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time:

recharacterizing the first event as an excessive dose, and

characterizing the second event as an off-schedule dose.

13. The storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the controller medication dosage plan further specifies a second scheduled time, the steps further comprising:

in response to determining that the second recorded time is not within the first time window:

determining whether the second recorded time is within a second time window inclusive of the second scheduled time,

in response to determining that the second recorded time is within the second time window, characterizing the second event as an on-time dose; and

in response to determining that the second recorded time is not within the second time window, characterizing the second event as an off-schedule dose.

14. The storage medium of claim 13 , the steps further comprising:

generating a notification based on the characterization of the second event.

15. The storage medium of claim 9 , the steps further comprising:

wherein in response to determining that the first recorded time is within the time window, characterizing the first event as an on-time dose;

in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are within the first time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time;

in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time, characterizing the second event as an excessive dose; and

in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the first scheduled time:

recharacterizing the first event as an excessive dose, and

characterizing the second event as an on-time dose.

16. The storage medium of claim 15 , the steps further comprising:

in response to characterizing the second event as the excessive dose, generating a second notification based on the characterization; and

providing the second notification to the computing device.
