This invention relates to an improved means of easily, quickly, and sanitarily distributing prepackaged medication to patients in a hospital or nursing home. The invention utilizes an small easily wiped down and cleaned housing which can be carried by a shoulder strap from patient to patient without leaving it unattended in a hallway. An internal bar-code reader and touch screen computer provide a positive means of identifying each prepackaged medication container, recording patient vital information, presenting to a nurse only the medication for a specific patient, and transmitting vital information and time of dispense to a hospital's inhouse computer network.

A supplement dispensing mouthguard device is an apparatus that readily supplies supplements into the mouth of a user while the user is performing an exercise. The apparatus includes an upper U-shaped platform, a lower U-shaped platform, an inner curved wall, an outer curved wall, a main fastener, a supplement reservoir, at least one inlet, and a plurality of outlets. The upper U-shaped platform and the lower U-shaped platform protects the teeth. The inner curved wall and the outer curved wall protects the tongue and the inner walls of the cheeks of the user. The main fastener connects the upper U-shaped platform with the lower U-shaped platform and seals the at least one inlet. The supplement reservoir contains the desired supplement. The at least one inlet provides access into the supplement reservoir. The plurality of outlets distributes the supplement into the mouth of the user.

The present invention relates to a disc for use in a delivery device for medication units, such as a pills or tablets or portions thereof, comprising a substantially disc-shaped body, comprising means to be engaged for rotation of the disc at least one opening, spaced from the centre of the disc and preferably near the edge of the disc, for holding at least part of the medication unit wherein the at least one opening for holding at least a part of the medication unit is located at a distance from the contour of the disc-shaped body and is thus enclosed by the substantially disc-shaped body.

The invention relates to a device for filling a medicine-unit container for use in a medicine unit dispensing device, comprising a support for the container, adapted to fix the position of the container relative to the device and limit a movement of the container relative to the device and at least one movable push element, such as a rod or pin, operable relative to the support, for pushing an unlocking element of a container supported by the device.

Mobile systems and methods are adapted to control and document prehospital patient care reports and communication of patient status to a receiving medical treatment facility. The systems and methods relate to systems and methods for managing, recording, and administering drugs such as narcotics in an ambulatory and/or emergency environment.

A pill packet dosage tracking and gating device is provided. The device includes a container, a gate, and a controller. The container includes a reservoir configured to hold a stream of pill packets and an extraction channel configured to guide the passage of the stream of pill packets from the reservoir out of the container. The gate is disposed in the extraction channel and is configured to vertically transition from a closed position blocking extraction of a pill packet of the stream of pill packets and an open position allowing extraction of a pill packet. The controller is configured to monitor the extraction of pill packets and control the transition of the gate from the closed position to the open position.

Disclosed herein are techniques related to device performance mode adjustment based on activity detection. In some embodiments, the techniques involve detecting, based on processing sensor data obtained from one or more gesture sensors, an activity in which a user of the one or more gesture sensors is engaged. The techniques further involve generating information corresponding to the detected activity in which the user of the one or more gesture sensors is engaged. The techniques also involve controlling, based on providing the generated information to a device for monitoring a physiological characteristic of the user, adjustment of a performance mode of the device for monitoring the physiological characteristic of the user.

Embodiments for scheduling the delivery of multiple medications to a patient by a processor. Any interactions between the multiple medications or between one of the multiple medications and a type of food are considered to construct an analytical model to identify an optimized schedule for delivery of the multiple medications to the patient. The optimized schedule is adjusted in real time as additional information concerning the multiple medications and the type of food are introduced, and delivered to a dispensing device associated with the one of the multiple medications.

A system of grids that allows the user to resize the volume of a tray to measure the desired/prescribed dosage of medication. The system enables the user to resize the tray capacity without having to remove and store parts. The flexibility of the pins or sliders allows the user to move the floor and walls of the tray which allows for any volume and shape of resizing (see exhibit 1).

An automated medication dispenser system is disclosed. The system includes a dispenser device comprising a medication dispensing and storage module, a dispensing drive and control mechanism, and a communications interface. A third party communications host is in communication with the dispenser device, and has administration software with executable instructions for control of the dispensing drive and control mechanism to dispense medication from the medication dispensing and storage module. The communications interface is in communication with the third party communications host.
