Abstract

A method for activating a physician-prescribable feature of an application program executed on a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the application program, an activation code to activate a feature of the application program and one or more parameters associated with a prescription. The method includes transmitting, by the application program, the activation code to a server and receiving an authorization code from the server, where the authorization code indicates a validity of the activation code. The method includes activating, by the application program, the feature using the activation code, the activation being performed in response to the activation code being valid; configuring, by the application program, the activated feature using at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the prescription; and generating, using the activated feature, data based on the one or more parameters associated with the prescription.
