Patent number: 12230376Abstract: Data related to the adherence of a patient to a therapy regime can be collected from multiple medical devices, each of which may have an incomplete data set with data entries associated with times. Each incomplete data set represents a portion of a complete data set. The data sets can be integrated to create a complete data set with data entries from each incomplete data set being arranged in a temporal sequence with respect to one another. A report may be generated, the report having the data entries of the complete data set or a function of the data entries of the complete data set.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Adam John Darby, Donald Roy Kuriger, Bernhard Florian Lamprecht, Mark Samuel Hamilton, Alex Young, Benjamin Wilson Casse
