Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a processing system including a processor of an end user device of a user, medication information indicating a reminder to take a medication, where the medication information is received over a wireless network from a virtual healthcare assistant operating on a customer device located at a premises, and where the medication information indicates an identification of a wireless transceiver of a medicine container that houses the medication to be dispensed. The end user device determines a user position and determines a container position of the medicine container. The end user device presents navigation information that facilitates movement by the user towards the medicine container. In other embodiments, a display device can be from among a group of display devices according to a position of the user in the premises; and a video conference can be established with the communication device of the healthcare provider that is presented at the display device of the user. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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.

Disclosed herein are techniques related to device performance mode adjustment based on activity detection. In some embodiments, the techniques involve detecting, based on processing sensor data obtained from one or more gesture sensors, an activity in which a user of the one or more gesture sensors is engaged. The techniques further involve generating information corresponding to the detected activity in which the user of the one or more gesture sensors is engaged. The techniques also involve controlling, based on providing the generated information to a device for monitoring a physiological characteristic of the user, adjustment of a performance mode of the device for monitoring the physiological characteristic of the user.

A system of grids that allows the user to resize the volume of a tray to measure the desired/prescribed dosage of medication. The system enables the user to resize the tray capacity without having to remove and store parts. The flexibility of the pins or sliders allows the user to move the floor and walls of the tray which allows for any volume and shape of resizing (see exhibit 1).

A container having a child resistant lock and an audio device has a bottom, an outer wall, and a neck extending upward from its top. The neck has one or more slots formed by a vertical channel and a slanted channel leading to a seat. The slanted channel has two opposing protuberances where it joins the seat. A lid has a cuff configured to fit over the neck. The inside wall of the cuff has one or more pins complementary to the one or more channels which together form bayonet lock mechanisms. And gasket at the inside top of the cuff seals the container when the bayonet lock mechanisms are engaged and provide an upward bias to the cuff, thereby securing it in place. The outer wall of the cuff and outer wall of the canister lie flush with each other when the bayonet lock mechanisms are engaged. The top of the lid has a removable screen covering a compartment in the lid which houses an audio device. A plurality of apertures in the plate allow sound to emit from the music box.

A pill dispensing apparatus includes a carousel with at least one removable bin for storing pills, a vision system for identifying pills within the bin, a vacuum nozzle for removing one or more pills identified by the vision system, and a dispensing area for receipt of the removed pills.

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.

A modular medication dispensing system for managing and automatically dispensing pills from a plurality of portable medication dispensers comprises: a base equipped with rotation means and being removably installed on a plane surface, a circular magazine comprising a plurality of adaptors for receiving a plurality of portable medication dispensers, the circular magazine being rotatably mounted on the base, an actuator for actuating a portable dispenser from the plurality of portable dispensers when the portable dispenser is in the dispensing position, a plurality of autonomous portable dispensers being removably received in the plurality of adaptors and operating autonomously or in synchronization with the modular system, a filling assembly comprising movable means for automatically filling a portable dispenser, and an electronic system comprised in each portable dispenser and in the base for permanently communicating between the plurality of portable dispensers and the base or between the base and a user.

The medication container includes a generally card-shaped housing with an interior. The housing has a first opening that is sized to allow a plurality of pills to simultaneously be inserted into the interior of the housing and a first door that is movable between an open position and a closed position to selectively open and close the first opening. The housing also has a second opening that is spaced from the first opening and is configured to only allow a single dose of pills to be dispensed at a time. A second door is movable between open and closed positions. Electronic circuitry is disposed in the interior of the housing and is configured to detect the passage of the pills through the second opening and also to record data pertaining to each dispensing event to a memory contained within the interior of the housing.
