Publication number: 20240112216Abstract: An intelligent system, method and device for providing a discount program benefit to a patient and managing patient prescription medication programs that implements intelligent evaluations to provide prescriptions to a patient which include discount benefits that are available for a physician prescribed medication for the patient during a patient consultation with a physician prescriber. The intelligent system also may generate, process, manage and store transactional data of the patient and medication program for the patient's benefit, and intelligently monitor the patient prescription along with prescriptions of others. Patient health is promoted by facilitating patient adherence to a prescribed medication, and to avoid potential effects of a disease or condition that may result from or be exacerbated by the failure to take a medication, or to adhere to a medication schedule. Intelligent sampling further is implemented to achieve the benefits.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: SymmetryRxInventors: Kevin Paris, Hal V.
