Zusammenfassung:A medical therapy compliance management system manages a patient's use of a therapy device, such as a nebulizer, in which treatments are to be provided at predetermined intervals. A compliance monitor coupled to the medical therapy device determines when a medical treatment is provided to the patient. A compliance controller receives data indicative of a medical treatment and can generate a reminder to the patient of future scheduled treatments. The compliance controller tracks the treatments provided and adjusts the reminders accordingly. The medical therapy compliance management system tracks certain parameters indicative of clinical or transactional events within the healthcare process. If any one of the measured or calculated parameters is outside a predetermined threshold the system notifies the patient and or caregiver. The system may also utilize interactive voice response technology to gather data from the patient.
