1. A method of monitoring and analyzing behavior of a patient, and providing predictive analytics therefrom, comprising:
by a coordinated care system including a patient wearable device (PWD), a caregiver application and a webserver:
conveying to the PWD from the caregiver application, a set of parameters to remotely set up the PWD without patient intervention, and a set of patient details associated with the patient, the set of patient profile details comprising GPS tracking information and geofence information, such that the conveying occurs directly through a cellular wireless network, with secure communication and without requiring a local hub to interface to and control the PWD;
gathering daily, by the PWD, a substantial amount of real time behavioral data associated with the patient and conveying the behavioral data from the PWD to the webserver, the behavioral data related to (i) interactive engagement and patient health-related compliance with the PWD, and (ii) activities associated with a response to a medication reminder or a communication from a caregiver, or position data conveying location and movement of the PWD, the conveying of behavioral data from the PWD to the webserver is a direct communication through the cellular wireless network;
analyzing, by the webserver, the behavioral data to determine one or more behavioral trends and to determine an engagement index, wherein patient interactive engagement and patient compliance is conveyed and evaluated on a per-day basis;
comparing the determined behavioral trends to historical behavioral information to identify a behavioral anomaly; and
sending an alert to the caregiver application when a behavioral anomaly is identified, wherein the behavioral anomaly results from medication non-adherence of the patient combined with (i) daily activities of the patient comprising sleeping, eating, walking, or (ii) vital signs of the patient comprising heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature.
