Patent Application Titled “Digital Healthcare Tracking and Coordination for Family and Friends” Published Online (USPTO 20230039151): Patent Application

2023 FEB 24 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventor Trivedi, Nehal (Mount Laurel, NJ, US), filed on August 9, 2022, was made available online on February 9, 2023.

No assignee for this patent application has been made.

Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “In one’s lifetime, a person may visit, beyond their primary care doctor for routine visits, many different types of specialists. Based on their medical condition, a patient may visit different medical centers (e.g., outpatient, hospital, rehab centers) and various specialists (e.g., OB/GYN, therapists, surgeons). Tracking and managing a patient’s care is a monumental task that requires secure communication and storage.”

In addition to obtaining background information on this patent application, NewsRx editors also obtained the inventor’s summary information for this patent application: “A Digital Family Care Tracking and Coordination (DFCTC) computing system associates a member with one or more care managers. The system stores member data on a cloud-based storage device. The one or more care managers are given access to the personal care data associated with the member via a mobile application. Member data may include medical information and relevant notes pertaining to a member’s healthcare journey.”

The claims supplied by the inventors are:

“1. A Digital Family Care Tracking and Coordination (DFCTC) computing system, with at least one computing device having a processor communicatively-coupled to a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, are configured to implement: associating a member with one or more care managers, storing, on a storage device, personal care data associated with the member, and providing, via a mobile application, the one or more care managers with access to the personal care data associated with the member.

“2. The DFCTC computing system of claim 1, wherein the instructions are further configured to implement: generating an alert based on the personal care data associated with the member.

“3. The DFCTC computing system of claim 2, wherein the instructions are further configured to implement: transmitting the alert to the one or more care managers associated with the member.

“4. The DFCTC computing system of claim 3, wherein the instructions are further configured to implement: generating an adherence report based on a response message received from at least one of the one or more care managers.

“5. The DFCTC computing system of claim 1, wherein the personal care data associated with the members includes one or more of contact information, screening questions, health care directives, and medical records.

“6. The DFCTC computing system of claim 5, wherein the personal care data is supplied by one other than the member.

“7. The DFCTC computing system of claim 1, wherein the storage device is a cloud-based storage device.

“8. A method for providing the facilitation of care across medical practices, healthcare networks and hospital systems, the method comprising: associating a member with one or more care managers, storing, on a storage device, personal care data associated with the member, and providing, via a mobile application, the one or more care managers with access to the personal care data associated with the member.

“9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: generating an alert based on the personal care data associated with the member.

“10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: transmitting the alert to the one or more care managers associated with the member.

“11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: generating an adherence report based on a response message received from at least one of the one or more care managers.

“12. The method of claim 8, wherein the personal care data associated with the members includes one or more of contact information, screening questions, health care directives, and medical records.

“13. The method of claim 5, wherein the personal care data is supplied by one other than the member.

“14. The method of claim 1, wherein the storage device is a cloud-based storage device.

“15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor implement: associating a member with one or more care managers, storing, on a storage device, personal care data associated with the member, and providing, via a mobile application, the one or more care managers with access to the personal care data associated with the member.

“16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions are further configured to implement: generating an alert based on the personal care data associated with the member.

“17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the instructions are further configured to implement: transmitting the alert to the one or more care managers associated with the member.

“18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions are further configured to implement: generating an adherence report based on a response message received from at least one of the one or more care managers.

“19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the personal care data associated with the members includes one or more of contact information, screening questions, health care directives, and medical records.

“20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the personal care data is supplied by one other than the member.

“21. The DFCTC computing system of claim 1, wherein the storage device is a cloud-based storage device.”
