摘要:
A system for generating a prescription may include a capture module configured to capture information from a plurality of individual cards. At least one of the cards may include medical information including at least a medication and a dosage for a patient. The system may include an information processing module configured to generate a bitmap file associated with the captured information, extract at least a portion of the medical information from the bitmap file using optical character recognition, and assemble the extracted information to generate a prescription data file. The system may include a transmission module configured to transmit the prescription data file to a pharmacy.
摘要:
A method of scanning a set of documents in a container such as a file folder or storage box where the container contains a unique label containing identification associated with the documents in the container. The label comprises both alphanumeric characters and color information where each character is associated with a particular color. By scanning the container and analyzing the image of the container the unique identification can be retrieved with increased reliability by using both the color and alphanumeric information.

A system for personalized packaging of prescription medication includes a processing device having a CPU and a user interface. The user interface is configured to receive input data related to at least one type of medication to be packaged, wherein the user interface communicates the input data to the CPU for processing. A dispensing system is in communication with the processing device, wherein the dispensing system is configured to be pre-supplied with the at least one type of medication and to dispense the at least one type of medication based on the input data communicated from the CPU to the dispensing system. Also included in the system is a printing system in communication with the processing device. A printing system is configured to generate a print of instructional data based on the input data communicated from the CPU to the printing system, wherein the print of instructional data includes data correspondingly related to the at least one type of medication dispensed by the dispensing system. A packaging system is in communication with the dispensing system and configured to seal the at least one type of medication dispensed from the dispensing system within the personalized packaging.

A process for preparing dry, free-flowing chitosan-carboxylic acid complexes is taught wherein chitosan, containing free amino groups is dispersed in selected liquids and contacted with selected carboxylic acids. The complexes are recovered by filtration, decantation or centrifugation.
摘要:
Renatured chitosan having an optical rotation in solution that is at least 20% more negative than that of untreated chitosan and the process of making same. The process for preparing such renatured chitosan is accomplished by aging a solution of chitosan in an aqueous acid at a pH of about 2.0 to 5.5. It is preferred to age the solution at room temperature for about 2 to 14 days until the optical activity shifts toward the negative by at least about 20%.
摘要:
A computer-based apparatus for dispensing a medication, including: at least one specially programmed computer; and, a medication device. The at least one specially programmed computer is arranged to calculate or modify, for a patient, a dosage for a first orally-administered or injectable medication and a constraint related to administration of the dosage by using a current point in time, a point in time at which a previous dosage of the first orally-administered or injectable medication was administered, information regarding a second medication prescribed for the patient, or real time physiological data for a patient. The medication device is arranged to: extract the first orally-administered or injectable medication from a medication storage element; and non-intravenously dispense the first orally-administered or injectable medication in accordance with the dosage and the constraint.
摘要:
A computer-based system for implementing and monitoring compliance with a medication regimen, including: at least one memory element of at least one computer configured to store computer readable instructions; and at least one processor for the at least one computer configured to execute the computer readable instructions to: receive the medication regimen from a medical practitioner or a pharmacist, the medication regimen including first instructions for taking the first medication; store the medication regimen in the at least one memory element; generate at least one first compliance message regarding compliance with the first instructions; generate, using the first instructions, a first schedule for transmitting the at least one first compliance message; receive a confirmation that the first medication has been made available to a patient; and transmit, according to the first schedule, the at least one first compliance message for receipt by the patient.
摘要:
An image data storage system and associated method store, on one or more disk drives in a disk drive array, original image data for different images as well as multiple resolution levels of compressed image data for each image. The lowest resolution level image data for multiple different images (i.e., “thumbnail” copies of images) are grouped together and stored within sectors closest to the center. The progressively higher resolution levels of image data for the same images can similarly be grouped together and stored within sectors sequentially from a first track closest to the center to a last track closet to an outer edge. Alternatively, all higher resolution levels of image data for any single image can be grouped together and stored within a same sector as close to the center as possible. This organization can significantly reduce average access time for large collections of images.
摘要:
A multi-function machine having capabilities of at least scanning documents is presented. The multi-function machine includes a scanning assembly for generating a plurality of electronic images and a re-ordering subsystem, operatively associated with the multi-function machine, for performing an ordering determination procedure with respect to the plurality of electronic images. The ordering determination procedure further includes (1) analyzing the plurality of electronic images to determine whether the plurality of images are in a pre-selected order, and (2) responsive to determining that the plurality of electronic images are not in the pre-selected order, electronically re-ordering at least one of the plurality of electronic images to conform with the pre-selected order.
