Abstract

A method of managing adherence to a regimen in a subscription based computer implemented healthcare information environment. The method includes receiving at a mobile device information from a receiver that a dose was ingested by a living subject. The mobile device comprises a processor, a memory and a display coupled to the processor. The method provides wirelessly communicating the information over a wireless network to a backend computer processing system and receiving from the computer at the backend processing system a personal information stream characterizing behavior of the living subject based on the received information over a predetermined period. An apparatus includes an adherence package including a foldable sheet, at least one of blister pack coupled to the foldable sheet, at least one ingestible device associated with a dose, and a perforation provided on the foldable sheet to enable removal of the at the least one blister pack.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of managing adherence to a regimen in a subscription based computer implemented healthcare information environment, the method comprising:
automatically receiving a first wireless transmission, at a mobile device, the first wireless transmission including dosage ingestion information detected from a marker embedded within a corresponding dose of medicine ingested by a living subject, the mobile device comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a display coupled to the processor, wherein the mobile device automatically receives the dosage ingestion information from one or more wireless, wearable receivers coupled to a body of the living subject, wherein the mobile device continuously receives the dosage ingestion information as the dose of medicine is ingested by the living subject;
automatically addressing a second wireless transmission to a backend computer processing system, the second wireless transmission including the dosage ingestion information;
receiving, from a computer at the backend computer processing system, a personal information stream characterizing behavior of the living subject based at least in part on the dosage ingestion information sent to the computer over a predetermined period;
displaying a graphical user interface screen on the display;
displaying, within the graphical user interface screen, a plurality of selectable graphical user interface elements, wherein selection of one of the plurality of selectable graphical user interface elements causes the graphical user interface screen to display information associated with the living subject,
wherein the plurality of selectable graphical user interface elements comprises at least one graphical user interface element which corresponds to the display of an activity timeline based at least in part on the personal information stream;
receiving by the mobile device an input selecting the at least one graphical user interface element;
in response to the input selecting the at least one graphical user interface element, displaying, within the graphical user interface screen, the activity timeline, wherein the activity timeline comprises an activity ribbon showing the level of activity of the living subject over the predetermined period; and
displaying the ingestion of the dose within the graphical user interface screen relative to the activity ribbon and the activity timeline,
wherein the graphical user interface screen presents scheduled medication times as one set of icons and actual detected medication ingestion times based on the dosage ingestion information by another set of icons along the activity timeline such that scheduled versus actual medication times are visually correlated by the graphical user interface screen.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
continuously tracking the level of activity of the living subject over the predetermined period; and
displaying the activity ribbon.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a comment bubble on the activity ribbon.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a sub-activity element within the activity ribbon to indicate a first level of activity when a second level of activity is expected.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of selectable graphical user interface elements comprises at least one other graphical user interface element which corresponds to the display of a dose timeline based on the personal information stream, the method further comprising:
receiving by the mobile device an input selecting the at least one other graphical user interface element; and
in response to the input selecting the at least one other graphical user interface element, displaying, within the graphical user interface screen, the dose timeline,
wherein the dose timeline indicates a time during when a dose was ingested by the living subject over a predetermined period.

6. The method of claim 5 , comprising:
tracking the dose timeline over the predetermined period; and
displaying dose events.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising displaying a comment bubble in the dose timeline.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of selectable graphical user interface elements comprises at least a one other graphical user interface element which corresponds to the display of a physical activity trend of the living subject based on the personal information stream, the method further comprising:
receiving by the mobile device an input selecting the at least one other graphical user interface element; and
in response to the input selecting the at least one other graphical user interface element, displaying, within the graphical user interface screen, a physical activity trend timeline,
wherein the physical activity trend timeline comprises the level of physical activity over a first predetermined period and wherein the physical activity trend timeline extends over a second predetermined period.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first predetermined period is a 24-hour day and the second predetermined period is a week, the method further comprising:
displaying a bar graph element to show the level of activity over the 24-hour period; and
displaying additional bar graph elements over the week for each additional 24-hour period, wherein each of the additional bar graph elements show corresponding levels of activity for each of the additional 24-hour period over the week.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first predetermined period is a 24-hour day and the second predetermined period is a week, the method further comprising:
displaying an icon element to show the number of steps taken by the living subject over the 24-hour period; and
displaying icon elements over the week for each additional 24-hour period, wherein each of the additional icon elements graph elements show corresponding number of steps taken by the living subject for each of the additional 24-hour periods over the week.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of selectable graphical user interface elements comprises at least one other graphical user interface element which corresponds to the display of a dose trend of the living subject based on the personal information stream, the method further comprising:
receiving by the mobile device an input selecting the at least one other graphical user interface element; and
in response to the input selecting the at least one other graphical user interface element, displaying, within the graphical user interface screen, a dose trend timeline,
wherein the dose trend timeline comprises a number of doses ingested by the living subject and a time stamp associated with the ingestion of the dose over a first predetermined period and wherein the dose trend timeline extends over a second predetermined period.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first predetermined period is a 24-hour day and the second predetermined period is a week, the method further comprising:
displaying an element to show when over the 24-hour period the dose was ingested by the living subject; and
displaying additional elements over the week for each additional 24-hour period, wherein each of the additional elements show corresponding times when the dose was ingested by the living subject for each of the additional 24-hour period over the week.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising displaying the number of doses ingested at the same time on the element.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising displaying a note on the element.

15. The method of claim 1 , w
