Abstract

Patients with substance abuse problems may be prescribed regular medication that dulls the positive effects of the substance. However, one of the largest challenges for substance abuse patients is that many do not regularly take their medication as they want to experience the high of the substance. Accordingly, systems and methods have been developed for medication sessions that distract the patient from taking the medicine by incorporating the reminder and other med actions in close temporal proximity.

Claims (25)

1. A system for implementing a treatment program adherence protocol, the system comprising:

a measurement device, the measurement device comprising:

a sensor configured to output measurement data;

a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions;

a control system, comprising one more processors, the control system configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the control system to:

receive, from a mobile device a data structure with instructions to initiate a measurement

calculate an intoxication level based on the measurement data; and

send a measurement data structure to the mobile device comprising data representing the intoxication level;

wherein the mobile device comprises:

a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions;

a display

a control system with one or more processors, the control system configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the control system to:

initiate a measurement session, the measurement session causes the control system to:

send, the data structure with instructions to initiate a measurement to the measurement device;

receive, from the measurement device, the measurement data structure;

send, to a server, the measurement data structure and a date and time stamp for the measurement data structure;

a server, the server comprising:

a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions;

a control system with one or more processors, the control system configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the control system to:

receive, a reporting approval data structure indicating a third party mobile device that is pre-approved to receive measurement data session information;

receive the measurement data structure and the data and time stamp from the mobile device; and

send a set of reporting data comprising measurement data structure to the third party mobile device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of reporting data further comprises the date and time stamp.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a second third party mobile device sends a request to the server for measurement data structures and wherein the second third party mobile device receives historical measurement data if the server contains a second reporting approval data structure for the second third party mobile device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the third party mobile device is associated with a personal profile stored in a database connected to the server that is a coach, physician, or therapist.
