A medicine bottle timer lid. The medicine bottle timer lid includes a housing removably securable to a medicine bottle having a display operably connected to a timer. The housing further includes a battery and a sensor disposed therein. The sensor is configured to detect the position of the housing with respect to the medicine bottle. The timer is configured to begin counting when the housing is secured to the medicine bottle, and the display shows the amount of time that has elapsed since the housing was secured to the medicine bottle. The timer is further configured to reset upon removal of the housing from the medicine bottle. The medicine bottle timer lid allows individuals to automatically keep track of their medication.

Techniques are provided for intelligent and secure dispensing of medication to a patient. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes receiving a pill vial into a receptacle of a base unit of a pill dispensing device. The method also includes engaging a locking mechanism to secure the pill vial in the base unit until a release condition is satisfied. The method further includes scanning a label on the pill vial to record a prescription identifier and a dosage schedule, and to register the prescription for usage tracking. The method further includes monitoring patient usage of the prescription based on a count of removals of the pill vial from the receptacle and a timing of the removals and alerting the patient of a missed dose based on the dosage schedule and on detection of an elapsed time since a previous removal of the pill vial from the receptacle.

A pill case (100) includes a pocket (9) which receives one pill (10) from an accommodation unit (8) in which a plurality of pills (10) are accommodated, and an extraction port (11) for ejecting the pill (10) in the pocket (9) to the outside. The pill case (100) includes a manipulation unit (for example, pill ejection button (4) and pill tray (5)) which converts a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) cannot be ejected through the extraction port (11) to a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) can be ejected through the extraction port (11) by being manipulated by a user. The pill case (100) includes a moving unit which is moved by indirectly or directly receiving a pressure from the pill (10) in the pocket (9) according to the moving manipulation to the manipulation unit, and a detection unit which detects that the moving unit is moved up to a position of the moving unit which corresponds to a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) can be ejected.

A medication container system, device, and related methods are disclosed for time controlled and secure dispensing of medicine, such as pills, to a patient. The disclosed systems, devices and methods include a plurality of vertically stack of disks which engage adjacent disks in a rotational manner and are housed within a secure container. The disks are configured so that as they rotate they release the doses (e.g. pills) that they hold to a release portion of the device. The disclosed systems, devices and methods provide a number of advantages over previously-known or available devices and methods.

The present disclosure relates to the field of a pill dispenser. The pill dispenser with a pre-filled stackable cartridge comprises a top plate, fitted horizontally with an embedded machine device; a cartridge assembly, fitted horizontally and mounted vertically on top of each of the cartridge assembly, detachably supporting a set of the pre-filled stackable cartridge wherein each of the cartridge comprise a plurality of slots to place a pill and a pill dispensing slot for dispensing the pill; and a plurality of tabs attached externally to each of the cartridge wherein one of the tab remains intact and rest each of the tabs are broken to create at least one hole to denote a serial number of the cartridge to follow a sequence of mounting the cartridge, a base plate comprising a pill cup to be manually pulled by the consumer to extract the pill to be consumed.

Provided herein are medication tracking and securement devices, systems, platforms, and methods configured to be used with or in place of commercial standard medicine bottles. The wireless tracking and communications elements of the present disclosure are configured to prevent medication theft, overdosing, medication loss, and prescription noncompliance.

This invention relates to smart bottle system that informs the user through a display, the time and date that the contents are to be taken. More specifically, the smart bottle system provides an information to the user/patient, the time to take medication and inform the caregiver, physician, pharmacy personnel, or patient/users of missed doses, the profile, and/or the health condition of the patient/user. The bottle system may track the dosses remaining in the bottle, and inform the caregiver or patient/user, or pharmacy personnel the time to get a refill of the medication. The system can able to compute the profile and/or health condition of the users, based on the medication intake, and/or missed, or users image, and can communicate with the persons located remotely by sending/receiving information.

An apparatus and method for holding a container comprising of a carriage and timing mechanism. The apparatus is comprised of a lever with at least two positions relative to the carriage, a timer, and a timer reset mechanism such that when the lever is in the first position, the timer will start counting time. When the lever is moved to the second position, the timer reset mechanism will modify the timer such as by resetting the amount of time that has been counted. The user thus knows how much time has passed since the user last changed the position of the lever.

Cannabis, much like medications, requires secure containment. It is particularly important to prevent access to Cannabis to children, elderly, or others for whom the Cannabis is not prescribed, designated, or legally permitted. Provided herein are medication tracking and securement devices, systems, platforms, and methods configured to be used with or in place of commercial standard medicine bottles. The wireless tracking and communications elements of the present disclosure are configured to prevent medication theft, overdosing, medication loss, and prescription noncompliance.

A portable, reusable medication dispensing assembly which has communication capability to improve medication adherence is disclosed. An electromechanical apparatus sequentially delivers dosage form packages from a compartment in a housing to a dose-ready area in the housing. A microprocessor-based controller is reprogrammable with contact and prescription data. The controller controls the electromechanical apparatus to sequentially deliver the dosage form packages at prescribed times or time intervals to the dose-ready area based on the prescription data. The controller generates and stores a set of event data based on when the dosage form packages are ready to be released in the dose-ready area and whether and when the dosage form packages have been released in the dose-ready area. Communication apparatus is capable of wirelessly transmitting the event data via a publicly-accessible network to a remote database and to wirelessly transmit event notifications via the network based on the prescription and contact data.
