Abstract

A method and algorithm for dosing single and multiple drugs for an individual patient includes the step of collecting data from the individual patient. The data includes drugs to be taken by the patient, the patient's age, medical condition, metabolism, and other factors. The method further includes the steps of analyzing the individual patient data in view of dosing criteria established based on patient population data. Based on the analysis, a dose of the single or multiple drugs is recommended. Alternative treatment options can also be recommended.

Claims (16)

1. A computer-implemented method for dosing single and multiple drugs for an individual patient, by

a healthcare professional collecting and inputting data from the individual patient including drugs to be taken by the patient into a database with a central artificial intelligence (AI) system stored on computer readable media,
