Pharmacy Narcotic Abuse Detection System Using AI Surveillance
Summary
USPTO granted patent US12603166B2 to OneSource Solutions International, Inc. for an AI-based pharmacy surveillance system that monitors prescription behaviors, refill timelines, prescriber data, patient histories, and PDMP registries to detect narcotic abuse. The system evaluates inputs using configurable heuristics and machine-learned models to identify prescription abuse, public health risks, and equity or bias trends, routing structured alerts to pharmacists, prescribers, or regulatory personnel. The system includes a Medical Data Governance layer with blockchain-based distributed ledger for audit logging and cryptographic sealing.
For entities developing or deploying AI-based pharmacy surveillance technologies, this patent establishes intellectual property rights that may affect freedom-to-operate considerations. The patent covers 20 claims related to AI-driven prescription monitoring and narcotic abuse detection, with potential implications for healthcare technology companies, pharmacy chains, and public health monitoring system developers.
What changed
USPTO granted patent US12603166B2 to OneSource Solutions International, Inc. covering an AI-based pharmacy surveillance system that monitors prescription behaviors, refill timelines, prescriber data, patient histories, and PDMP registries using artificial intelligence agents integrated with real-time prescription records. The system detects prescription abuse, public health risks, and equity or bias trends through configurable heuristics and machine-learned models, routing structured alerts through a role-authenticated communication interface. The Medical Data Governance layer employs cryptographic sealing, timestamping, and blockchain-based distributed ledger storage for audit logging.
For entities developing or deploying AI-based pharmacy surveillance systems, this patent grant establishes intellectual property rights that may affect freedom-to-operate considerations. Healthcare technology companies, pharmacy chains, and public health monitoring system developers should consider this patent when designing prescription monitoring solutions.

Abstract
A system and method for pharmacy-level surveillance of all prescription behaviors using one or more artificial intelligence (AI) agents integrated with real-time prescription records, refill timelines, prescriber data, patient histories, PDMP registries, and epidemiological signals. The system evaluates these inputs with configurable heuristics and machine-learned models to detect prescription abuse, public health risks, and equity or bias trends, including overlapping providers, dosage escalation, refill velocity, and prescriber clustering. When an anomaly is identified, a structured alert is routed to pharmacists, prescribers, or regulatory personnel through a secure, role-authenticated communication interface. Each system transaction and user outcome is captured by a Medical Data Governance (MDG) layer, providing cryptographic sealing, timestamping, and immutable ledger storage. In some embodiments, the audit log uses a blockchain-based distributed ledger. The system's feedback-driven, adaptive architecture enables analytic and policy modules to update automatically based on real-time outcomes, public health signals, and usage trends.
