The concept involves linking a patient’s prescription information to their mobile phone number, enabling various functionalities centered around medication management. For instance, a patient might receive refill reminders via SMS or be notified when a prescription is ready for pickup at the pharmacy using their registered phone number.
This method offers several advantages, including improved adherence to medication schedules and streamlined communication between pharmacies and patients. Its development addresses the challenge of ensuring patients receive timely updates regarding their prescriptions and reducing the likelihood of missed refills. It builds on the increasing prevalence of mobile phone usage to provide a more accessible and convenient means of managing healthcare information.
