REMOTE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND TREATMENT
Systems and methods for facilitating self-administered medical diagnostic tests and receiving treatment based on the results of such tests. In some examples, a user may take a medical diagnostic test under the supervision of a proctor over a video conference connection. The proctor or the system can verify the results of the test. The system can facilitate treatment based on the results of the test by, for example, facilitating the generation, fulfillment, and delivery of medication.
1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining, by a computer system, a test result of a user, wherein the test result based on a self-administered diagnostic medical test;
based upon a determination that the test result is positive, wherein a positive test result indicates that treatment is advisable:
generating, by the computer system, a prescription questionnaire, wherein the prescription questionnaire is transmitted to the user over an electronic network and displayed to the user on a user device;
receiving, by the computer system, user inputs in response to the prescription questionnaire, wherein the user inputs are inputted by the user on the user device and transmitted to the computer system over the electronic network;
transmitting, by the computer system, the user inputs and the test result to a prescription provider, wherein the user inputs are transmitted over the electronic network and displayed to the prescription provider on a provider device, and wherein the prescription provider determines at least one prescription for the user based on the user inputs and the test result;
receiving, by the computer system, prescription information based on the at least one prescription determined by the prescription provider, wherein the prescription information is transmitted to the computer system over the electronic network;
determining, by the computer system, a delivery partner based on a location of the user and a location of the prescription provider, a delivery partner for delivering the prescription to the user; and
generating, by the computer system, delivery instructions for the delivery partner, wherein the delivery instructions are configured to facilitate the delivery partner obtaining the prescription from the prescription provider and delivering the prescription to the user; and
transmitting, by the computer system, the delivery instructions to the delivery partner, wherein the delivery instructions are transmitted over the electronic network.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the self-administered medical diagnostic test is taken by the user using a testing platform provided by the computer system that provides a video conference connection between the user and a proctor.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the computer system, the prescription questionnaire based on the test result and a database of available medications.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the prescription questionnaire is further based on a user profile, wherein the user profile is generated based on an interaction between the user and a testing platform provided by the computer system that facilitates the self-administered medical diagnostic test.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the computer system, if more than a threshold period of time has passed since the user obtained the positive test result.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user device comprises a smartphone.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user device comprises a GPS module, and determining the location of the user is based at least in part on an output of the GPS module.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a prescription release code, wherein the prescription release code comprises one or more of a code, a barcode, and a QR code;
transmitting the prescription release code to the delivery partner, whereby the delivery partner obtains the prescription based on the prescription release code.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the computing system, an alert notification for the user when the delivery partner obtains the prescription.
10 . A computer system comprising an electronic storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions and one or more processors in electronic communication with the electronic storage medium and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions in order to:
determine, by a computer system, a test result of a user, wherein the test result based on a self-administered diagnostic medical test;
based upon a determination that the test result is positive, wherein a positive test result indicates that treatment is advisable:
transmit, by the computer system, a prescription questionnaire to the user, wherein the prescription questionnaire is transmitted to the user over an electronic network and displayed to the user on a user device;
receive, by the computer system, user inputs in response to the prescription questionnaire, wherein the user inputs are inputted by the user on the user device and transmitted to the computer system over the electronic network;
transmit, by the computer system, the user inputs and the test result to a prescription provider, wherein the user inputs are transmitted over the electronic network and displayed to the prescription provider on a provider device, and wherein the prescription provider determines at least one prescription for the user based on the user inputs and the test result;
receive, by the computer system, prescription information based on the at least one prescription determined by the prescription provider, wherein the prescription information is transmitted to the computer system over the electronic network;
determine, by the computer system, a delivery partner based on a location of the user and a location of the prescription provider, a delivery partner for delivering the prescription to the user; and
generate, by the computer system, delivery instructions for the delivery partner, wherein the delivery instructions are configured to facilitate the delivery partner obtaining the prescription from the prescription provider and delivering the prescription to the user; and
transmit, by the computer system, the delivery instructions to the delivery partner, wherein the delivery instructions are transmitted over the electronic network.
11 . The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the self-administered medical diagnostic test is taken by the user using a testing platform provided by the computer system that provides a video conference connection between the user and a proctor.
12 . The computer system of claim 10 , further comprising determining, by the computer system, the prescription questionnaire based on the test result and a database of available medications.
13 . The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the prescription questionnaire is further based on a user profile, wherein the user profile is generated based on an interaction between the user and a testing platform provided by the computer system that facilitates the self-administered medical diagnostic test.
14 . The computer system of claim 10 , further comprising determining, by the computer system, if more than a threshold period of time has passed since the user obtained the positive test result.
15 . The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the user device comprises a smartphone.
16 . The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the user device comprises a GPS module, and determining the location of the user is based at least in part on an output of the GPS module.
17 . The computer system of claim 10 , further comprising:
generating a prescription release code, wherein the prescription release code comprises one or more of a code, a barcode, and a QR code;
transmitting the prescription release code to the delivery partner, whereby the delivery partner obtains the prescription based on the prescription release code.
18 . The computer system of claim 10 , further comprising generating, by the computing system, an alert notification for the user when the delivery partner obtains the prescription.
