Abstract

A method and system is provided for monitoring the treatment of one or more patients with one or more medications. A medical treatment plan is defined as a set of data elements stored in a database and representative of a patient configuration file. The data elements are translated into a sequence of prompt and record events, which are communicated to one or more remote monitoring devices. Patient response data, supplied by the patients in response to the events and relating at least in part to a record of the intake of the medication by the patient, are obtained, recorded, and uploaded into the database. The patient response data are correlated with additional data relating to patient health or economic outcomes, for example using statistical analysis and data mining. The correlation can be used to adjust dosing recommendations to improve clinical outcome, reduce side-effects, and eliminate drug interactions.
