Abstract
A wearable computing device for identifying gestures indicating patient prescription adherence is provided. The wearable computing device includes a processor, a memory, and a motion sensor. The processor is configured to receive a set of prescription plan data defining a prescription for a pharmaceutical associated with a user of the wearable computing device. The processor is also configured to receive a gesture pattern of movement of the wearable computing device. The gesture pattern indicates that a patient is adhering to the prescription. The processor is further configured to detect, with the motion sensor, a first motion pattern associated with the wearable computing device. The processor is also configured to analyze the first motion pattern to determine if the gesture pattern has been performed. Upon determining that the gesture pattern has been performed, the processor is configured to update a prescription usage record.
