Why it mattersThis could help people with chronic conditions understand how their bodies react to specific treatments by connecting pill-taking habits with real-time health metrics.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device may include: a touch screen; a communication circuit; a first memory for storing instructions; at least one processor; and a second memory. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to: store, in the second memory as medication information, information about a medicine administered to a patient and information about medication timing acquired via the touch screen; store, in the second memory, first data related to the patient received from an external device; store, in the second memory, second data related to the patient received from the external device; identify the amount of change in biometric information about the patient based on the first data and the second data; and provide a notification based on the medication information stored in the second memory and the identified amount of change in biometric information.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: a touchscreen; communication circuitry; first memory storing instructions; second memory; at least one processor comprising processing circuitry; and wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to: store information about a medicine administered to a patient and information of the administration time, obtained through the touchscreen, as medication information in the second memory; store first data related to the patient, received through the communication circuitry from an external device, in the second memory; store second data related to the patient, received through the communication circuitry from the external device, in the second memory; identify an amount of change in biometric information for the patient based on the first data and the second data; and based on the medication information stored in the second memory and the identified amount of change in the biometric information, provide a notification.
