A medication assurance system for verification of both the medication and the patient is disclosed. A portable spectrometer is used to obtain a light spectrum of the medication. A subject identification or biometric device is used to identify the patient. A controller coupled to the portable spectrometer and the subject identification device identifies the medication by performing a chemometric analysis of the light spectrum. Based on the medication identified and the patient identified, the controller can determine if the medication is to be taken by the patient.

A medication administration tracker is provided. The medication administration tracker includes a medication container, such as an IV bag, vitamin organizer, prescription bottle and the like. If the present invention is a prescription bottle, a lid is releasably securable to the bottle. The present invention may include at least one indicator configured to produce an indication when prompted. A time keeper and a processor are integrated into the lid. The time keeper keeps time and the processor is operatively connected to the indicator and the time keeper. The processor is programmable to receive at least a dosage time and activate the indicator when the time keeper reaches the dosage time.

The earplugs for use while sleeping are a set of earplugs adapted to suppress noise from reaching the eardrum of the user while remaining securely in place while sleeping. The earplugs for use while sleeping incorporate a timing device and a tone generating device that generates an alarm adapted to wake the wearer at a predetermined time. The earplugs for use while sleeping comprises a plurality of individual earplugs.
