The present invention relates to systems and methods for remotely monitoring the health of a patient in a real-time, continuous manner, remotely deliver therapeutic medications to the patient, and facilitating communication between the patient and a remotely located patient care provider.

The exemplary embodiments herein provide a method for controlling access to medications. The method preferably includes the step of electronically unlocking a lid for a single bin out of a plurality of bins within a delivery module at a first location, to accept a medication into the unlocked bin, where the rest of the bins in the same delivery module remain locked. The method should then engage a mechanical lock on the lid once it has been closed, maintain the bin in a locked state during transport to a second location, and engage a mechanical lock on the delivery module once it has been lowered into a drawer at the second location.

Systems and devices for regulation of self-management of a medication schedule are provided. A system can include a pill dispenser cap, a plurality of insulating layers; a near field communication (NFC) tag, and a pill dispenser. The system can further include a graphical user interface (GUI), and first and second mobile devices each having a display unit, a sensor, a processor, and a computer readable medium.

The present disclosure provides an aerosol precursor consumable, and an aerosol delivery device that comprises a control unit that defines a receiving chamber, and a removable and replaceable aerosol precursor consumable, at least a portion of the consumable configured to be received into the receiving chamber. The aerosol precursor consumable comprises a housing defining an outer wall, an aerosol precursor composition reservoir located in the housing and configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition, an atomizer located in the housing, and at least one aroma diffuser. The atomizer is configured to vaporize the aerosol precursor composition to generate an aerosol for oral delivery to a user, and the at least one aroma diffuser is configured to diffuse an aroma composition for olfactory delivery to the user.

A medical station includes a movable cart, a cassette system, and a computer system with a configuration map. The cassette system including a plurality of drawers. The configuration map includes, for each respective one of the drawers, a unique drawer identifier and an indicator of a location of the respective one of the drawers at the cassette system.

The disclosed systems and methods provide hands-free medication tracking. A method includes providing an augmented reality device attachable to a face of a user. The method also includes determining, using one or more sensors of the augmented reality device, a user action to be carried out with respect to a medication. The method also includes presenting, via a display interface of the augmented reality device, a visual indicator to assist with the user action. The method also includes confirming, via the one or more sensors of the augmented reality device, a completion of the user action. The method also includes sending, via a communication interface of the augmented reality device, an update message to a server indicating the completion of the user action, wherein the update message causes the server to update a medication inventory in a database.

A respiratory system and method comprise a tracker module adaptable to be secured to a variety of inhalers, the tracker module sensing activation of the medication canister of the inhaler for delivery of medication to a user. The tracker module also senses the rate of inhalation air flow of the user when inhaling medication for determination of proper inhaler use. Upstream and downstream sensors provide flow information to determine quality of the inhalation. Other sensors are provided that monitor user presence at the inhaler, user technique in using the inhaler, and the attitude of the inhaler when it was used. Low power devices are used to conserve battery power.

A delivery management system includes a drug wrapping 140, a delivery container 26, a delivery management device 7, and a barcode sheet 137. The barcode sheet 137 includes a barcode label 137c indicating a serial number related to a drug, a barcode-image portion 137e indicating the serial number related to the drug, and a barcode label 137d indicating a delivery-container ID related to the delivery container. When the drug wrapping to which the barcode label 137c separated from the barcode sheet is attached, the delivery container, and the barcode sheet from which the barcode label 137c has been separated reach a delivery destination, the drug wrapping is verified using the barcode label 137d attached to the delivery container and the barcode-image portion 137e.
