Assignee: CLOUD DX, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 14:
15. A device for determining a real-world effectiveness of at least one specific medication from a medication regimen comprising a plurality of medications, said device comprising:
patient operable instrumentation comprising physiological monitoring devices configured to obtain a plurality of different types of actual patient pulse wave measurements comprising electrode-based time varying electrocardiograph (ECG) readings, and time varying blood oxygen saturation levels, and time varying blood pressure measurements types; said patient operable instrumentation further comprising at least one processor and memory;
wherein said patient operable instrumentation and said physiological monitoring devices are a unitized system, all managed by at least one common processor;
wherein said device is configured to obtain and store a plurality of individual medication impact parameters, each individual medication impact parameter providing information on how an individual known specific medication alters a specific type of pulse wave measurements;
wherein said plurality of medication impact parameters and plurality of patient reference information further provide information on how they alter at least some of said plurality of different types of actual patient pulse wave measurements;
wherein said device is further configured to obtain and store a plurality of patient reference information, each individual patient reference information providing information on a specific type of patient baseline pulse wave measurement in an absence of patient medication;
wherein said device is further configured to obtain and store patient medication schedule information regarding said at least one medication and medication dosing schedule for said patient;
said at least one processor further configured so that when said patient operable instrumentation is used on a patient with patient medication schedule information, said at least one processor is further configured to obtain a plurality of different types of actual pulse wave measurement at a known time, said at least one processor analyzes said plurality of different types of actual patient pulse wave measurements at a known time, and determines which of said plurality of different types of actual patient pulse wave measurements are inconsistent with those expected patient pulse wave measurements calculated from said patient medication schedule information, said known time, said plurality of patient reference information, and said plurality of medication impact parameters;
wherein said at least one processor is further configured to store at least those specific medications where inconsistent findings were obtained in said memory;
wherein said effectiveness comprises an impact of said at least one specific medication on a patient's actual patient pulse wave measurements as compared to calculated expected patient pulse wave measurements for said medication regimen.
