An automated pill dispensing device includes a housing containing a rotatable platform on which a series of individual containers rest. A controller manages operations of the automated pill dispending device including rotation of the platform causing pills in said individual containers to drop into a dispensing area where the user may retrieve them. An alarm may activate responsive to the pills remaining in the dispensing area beyond a pre-established time period. The automated pill dispending device may also communicate with a mobile device.

There is provided a device, a method and a system for managing and monitoring the medication of a patient. The medication storage and retrieval device (21) for managing and monitoring use of medication, the device (21) comprises a housing (122); a movable support (123) coupled to the housing; one or more containers (1) removably positionable within the housing of the device locatable on the support, each container being configured to store a medication, the medication provided in a loose form such as tablets or pills. The device (21) has a first closed configuration when the movable support (123) and containers thereon (1) are stowed within the housing, and a second open configuration when the movable support (123) and said containers (1) thereon are located outside the housing for access by a user to allow retrieval of medication from a container, as required. The device comprises an imaging device (11) configured to capture one or more images of each container and its contents, being the medication contained therein at the time of capture of the image, the time of capture of each image being related to a device use event. The imaging device (11) is configured to capture a first image of each container and contents before it is made accessible to a user, and to capture a second image of each container and contents after it has been accessible to the user. The images and other use data are processed to determine for each device use event one or more of: the identity of the type of medication contained in each container, the quantity of medication in the container before access and after access, the difference in the quantity of medication in the container before access and after access.

A medication adherence system for facilitating adherence to a medication dosage schedule is provided, comprising a smart case to receive or adhere to a medication pack, a sensor for detecting a medication event, and a tangible computer readable medium interface for users to obtain feedback regarding their adherence to their respective medication dosage schedules.
