A bin assembly, bin identification system and method are disclosed. A container bin assembly includes a bin body, a latching mechanism, and controller. A method includes receiving, via a communication interface, an authenticated request to access the smart container, actuating an electromechanical latch to disengage a fastening hook, thereby initiating a mechanical movement of an access component to make an internal compartment accessible, outputting, via an audiovisual element, an alert to identify the container, confirming that the electromechanical latch has re-engaged with the fastening hook, thereby securing the internal compartment, determining a change in a local inventory, and updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change.

Described herein are methods and systems for automated dispensing of individual medicament portions. The systems can include a housing that encloses a receiving space having a bottom surface. A separation device may be provided and arranged on the bottom surface with at least one channel to receive at least one medicament portion. At least one channel may have an opening facing the receiving space and an opening facing the bottom surface. The opening facing the bottom surface may be associated with a contact area on the bottom surface, over which contact area the medicament portions may be guided upon a movement of separation device. At least one recess may be arranged in the bottom surface outside of the contact area to receive contamination particles present in the container.

The invention is related to a smart pill dispenser which is used in a household, on a desktop, by keeping the different types of and different dosed medication inside the container, which provides information to the user in order for the user to take his/her medication in time and in correct doses and which can inform the user interactively communicate with smart devices and such as cell phones, and smart watches.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for a healthcare management service are provided.

Pill dispenser devices, systems and methods are shown and/or described herein. Include are a method, device or system for pill delivery including disposing a pill at a known location; contacting the pill with a pick-up member; and, moving the pill from the known location by movement of the pick-up member.

A dose reminder device having a main body with electrical components held therein and a bottle-agnostic strap or detachable adapter for attaching the dose reminder device to bottles of varying shapes and sizes. The dose reminder device is registered and connected to a host server over a network via a programming application interface operating on a mobile device or a computer-based device.

Methods and systems are provided for tracking and guiding a patient's clinically directed medication usage. Medicaments are placed in secure passive packaging that must be unlocked to enable dispensing of a dose or a set of doses. This packaging is designed to be difficult to open manually, and instead is designed to dispense only when used in combination with an unlocking device. The unlocking device is a separate device containing electronics, mechatronics or both, to unlock and dispense from the packaging and to track and guide usage. Together, the secure container and the unlocking device track medication usage, deter an excessive rate of patient usage, and deter unauthorized access to medication.

An intelligent pill box device comprising: a base and a display panel. The base includes a plurality of cylindrical shaped receptacles for storing medication bottles wherein each receptacle includes a radio frequency identification reader, a faraday cage, and a load cell at the bottom of the receptacle to measure the weight of the contents of the receptacle.

A smart medication identifying system is disclosed herein. It comprises a processing device including a first processing module, a scanning module electrically connected to the first processing module and a first reminding module electrically connected to the first processing module; a cloud storage device electrically connected to the processing device and having a storage module, a login module electrically connected to the storage module, and a medication information database electrically connected to the storage module; and a medication identifying device electrically connected to the processing device and the cloud storage device and having a second processing module, an image identifying module electrically connected to the second processing module and a second reminding module electrically connected to the second processing module.

A pill dispenser (10) has a core (12) with outward-facing compartments (14) arranged in rows and layers about a central axis. A first sleeve (22) overlying the core has an elongated slot (24) extending parallel to the central axis, and is rotatable relative to the first sleeve to align the slot with one of the rows of compartments. A second sleeve (26), coaxial with the first sleeve, has a pattern of staggered openings 28 positioned in an axial direction to align with a corresponding one of the layers. The second sleeve is rotatable relative to the first sleeve to bring each of the staggered openings into alignment with the elongated slot, thereby providing access to one of the compartments of the core. Preferably, the core includes a number of axially removable cartridges (30), each including a row of compartments, that can be inserted while the compartments contain pills.
