Abstract: A prescription-based treatment system including a communications module coupled to a network, a sensor(s) to monitor parameters associated with a medical equipment in connection with a prescription for a treatment of a breathing condition of a patient, and a microcontroller coupled with the communications module and the sensor. The microcontroller is configured to: transmit to a remote user data of the status and usage of the equipment by the patient, including an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) calculated by the equipment; receive from the remote user a signal to modify the prescription to a modified prescription based on the status and usage of the equipment including the AHI; and adjust an amount and/or frequency of a parameter prescribed for administration to the patient from a first value to a second value as a function of the signal so as to change operation of the equipment in accordance with the modified prescription.

Abstract: A patient treatment system includes a communications module coupled to a communication network, an agreement signification device for capturing data indicative of a signature of a patient, a sensor for monitoring parameters associated with medical equipment prescribed for treatment of the patient, and a microcontroller coupled with the communications module and the sensor.

Abstract: A patient treatment system includes a network server, an agreement signification device, a global positioning system device, and a network-enabled sensor that performs operations including obtaining, using the agreement signification device, global positioning system device, and network-enabled sensor, information that is input into the network server and is associated with at least one of a patient, medical equipment, a physician, and an ancillary provider. The information includes a signature of the patient representing agreement of the patient with data entered by the physician including (1) whether the patient is benefitting from use of the medical equipment, (2) whether the patient needs to continue use of the medical equipment, and (3) hours of operation of the medical equipment. The operations also include coupling the medical equipment to the network-enabled sensor.

Abstract: A method of complying with rules to reduce fraudulent reimbursement associated with durable medical equipment prescriptions includes obtaining, using a processing device, information associated with at least one of a patient, the durable medical equipment, a physician, and an ancillary provider; and providing, using the processing device, selective access to the information. The access is selectively provided to at least one of the physician, ancillary provider, a payor, and an auditor, whereby the selective access enables compliance with the rules to reduce fraudulent reimbursement associated with the durable medical equipment prescriptions. A corresponding computer-readable medium and system are also disclosed.
