Abstract:

A medication notification system uses a wireless paging receiver to alert a patient concerning the time or times a specific medication is to be taken.

This data is stored at the paging dispatch center and automatically transmitted to the paging receiver at the appropriate time. A two-way system is also provided in which, in addition to receiving the instructions relating to taking medication, the patient can transmit health-related information back to his or her health care provider.
