20130204430 | PHARMACY AUTOMATION USING AUTONOMOUS ROBOT - A pharmacy automation system having a robot having a hardware device and a software for internal mapping is configured to carry out at least the following different interactions: the robot communicates autonomously with a physician or an assistant directly or via an intermediary; the robot interacts with an inventory of goods and browses the inventory of goods to determine if a prescribed medication is available in the pharmacy; if the prescribed medication is available in the pharmacy, the robot interacts with a medication dispenser, using the internal mapping to fill a container with the prescribed medication, and store the container; when a patient or a proxy arrives to pick up the prescribed medication, the robot checks and approves an identification of the patient or the proxy; and hands the container with the prescribed medication over to the patient or proxy. | 08-08-2013 |
20150242591 | PHARMACY AUTOMATION USING AUTONOMOUS ROBOT - A pharmacy automation system having a robot having a hardware device and a software for internal mapping to perform simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is disclosed herein. The robot is configured to use the SLAM technique to carry out at least the following different interactions: the robot communicates autonomously with a physician or an assistant directly or via an intermediary; the robot interacts with an inventory of goods and browses the inventory of goods to determine if a prescribed medication is available in the pharmacy; if the prescribed medication is available in the pharmacy, the robot interacts with a medication dispenser, using the internal mapping to fill a container with the prescribed medication, and store the container; when a patient or a proxy arrives to pick up the prescribed medication, the robot checks and approves an identification of the patient or the proxy; and when the patient or proxy presents a prescription containing the prescribed medication, the robot retrieves the container with the prescribed medication and hands the container with the prescribed medication over to the patient or proxy. | 08-27-2015 |
20150363553 | MEDICAL REGISTRY - An embodiment relates to a computer implemented system for correlating medical data, the system comprising: first module comprising a first algorithm configured to collect patient inputted data provided by a first patient through a user device in communication with the first module; a second module comprising a second algorithm configured to collect data from one or more databases in communication with the second module; a social network electronic communication platform comprising a social network algorithm configured to create a social network environment that allows a plurality of patients, including the first patient, to interact and collaborate with each other; a storage medium for storing data collected from at least the first and second modules; at least one processor, which is in communication with the social network electronic platform, configured to correlate the patient inputted data with data from the one or more databases and communicate a result based on correlating the patient inputted data with data from the one or more databases to the first patient. | 12-17-2015 |
