User access to exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT), therapy progress data, and user profile/record integration can be enabled via portable and wearable computing devices in use at treatment facilities is described. Embodiments leverage the field of wireless communications can access facility-based transponders, user authentication, data access, and data tracking. The invention enables access to oxygen therapy during exercise at various facilities by authorizing user access, tracking usage, providing access to user profiles/records, recording user progress, providing notification to providers of subsequent user treatment, and user record management based on proximity of a provider to a user during treatment. A safety harness system can include a circular padded rail to encircle the waist/torso of a user underneath the user's arms; hydraulically controlled legs can enable manipulation/movement under hydraulic control when the padded rail is secured to the user and while the user is moving on exercise equipment.

A product dispenser is configured to dispense products subject to a warning and products not subject to a warning, the product dispenser further configured to transmit a product warning notice only in response to a request to dispense a product subject to the warning. In another embodiment, a product dispenser is configured to dispense a food or beverage product and provide information indicative of an attribute of the food or beverage product, such as nutrition facts, as it is being dispensed. In another embodiment, a product dispenser is configured to enable a user to request a customized product from the product dispenser, to determine a first profile for the customized product blend, compare the first profile to a second profile, and reformulate the customized product blend to a dispensed product blend comprising a third profile approximating the second idealized profile.

A controlled dispensing fixture including a display screen, a scanning device, and one or more processors is configured to: obtain via the display screen or remote scanner a selection of one or more controlled products; update a user interface on the display screen based on the selection; determine whether the one or more controlled products meet a purchase limit associated with the one or more controlled products for dispensing; obtain via the scanning device consumer identification information; determine whether the consumer identification information meets an age threshold and/or an identity requirement associated with the one or more controlled products; and in accordance with a determination that (i) the one or more controlled products meet the purchase limit for dispensing, and (ii) the consumer identification information meets the age threshold and/or the identity requirement, transmit a dispensing instruction to the dispensing fixture to dispense the one or more controlled products.

A sanitizing device having a microcontroller 2 receiving information from the opening sensor 1 of the access status door to the interior of the vending machine activating at least one radiation module 4 or at least one sprayer 5 for a first stage of sanitization of the stored products. The microcontroller 2 operates the control mechanism of the upper doors 7 and the opening and closing mechanism 10 of the front door 9 of a disinfection compartment 6, closing both to start a second disinfection stage that is applied only on the product selected by the consumer when detected by the product sensor 11. The microprocessor 2 opens the front door 9 at the end of the stage, and upon receiving the signal from the empty disinfection compartment 6, triggers the opening and closing mechanism 10, closing the front door 9 and the control mechanism 8 by opening the upper doors 7. The presence detection sent by proximity sensors 3 to the machine to the microcontroller 2, interrupts the cycle of ultraviolet radiation. The microcontroller 2 is linked to a communication interface 14 and a network communication interface 15.
