  • Patent number: 11468975
    Abstract: A system and method to determine and reconcile medication provided to a patient is disclosed. The system and method collect a medication image file (MIF) of a patient medication collection (PMC) using a mobile user device (MUD) and pill source imager (PSI). The MUD transmits the MIF to a host computer system (HSC) via a computer communication network (CCN). The HSC isolates individual MIF medication image elements (MIE) and compares each MIE against a pill image database (PID) to generate a potential pill match (PPM) list. The PPM is filtered and prioritized to produce a prioritized medication list (PML) using data from a pill correlation database (PCD), patient history database (PHD), and medical reading database (MRD). The PML describes probable PPM associations with specific known medications. A HCS graphical user interface (GUI) permits validation of each MIE/PML pair to produce a patient reconciled validated medication list (VML).
