Storage and dispensing devices for administration of oral transmucosal dosage forms
Dispensing devices and systems for oral transmucosal administration of small volume drug dosage forms to the oral mucosa are provided. The dispensing device may be a single dose applicator (SDA), or an electromechanical device comprising a means for patient identification such as a wrist worn RFID tag and annular bidirectional antenna together with a lock-out feature.
Bottle-affixed dose reminder device
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.
MEASURING DEVICE AND AN EXECUTION METHOD THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to a measuring device and an execution method thereof characterized in that open/close status of a cover body over a can body is recognized, the cover body is unscrewed or extracted from the can body, status of the cover body separated from the can body is detected by an electronic module mounted on the cover body, and the electronic module transmits a message to an appliance with the cover body totally separated from the can body.
Systems and methods for portable pill dispensers with various dispensing mechanisms
Portable pill dispensers are disclosed herein. The portable pill dispenser may include a container configured to house at least one pill therein, a housing attachable to the container, and a dispensing mechanism disposed within the housing. In one configuration, the dispensing mechanism includes an oscillating member configured to dispense the at least one pill from the container.
Apparatus and Method for Improved Drug Regimen Compliance
A method and apparatus for monitoring drug-regimen compliance is disclosed. Systems in accordance with the present invention enable automatic monitoring of the state of medicine content of a blister card. Each tablet location on the blister card is operatively coupled with a different sensor that detects whether the tablet location is occupied and/or a dispensing event at a tablet location. In some embodiments, capacitive sensing is employed, where the capacitance of each sensor is based on the physical state of a dispensing region of the lidding film of the blister pack, which is located at the tablet location being monitored. Alternative sensing approaches are based on optical, acoustic, and tactile sensors that interrogate either the dispensing region at each tablet location or the tablets themselves to determine whether tablets have been dispensed. The sensors interface with a mobile app that provides the user instructions to help improve drug-regimen compliance.
Pill Dispenser for Medications, Vitamins and/or Dietary Supplements
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.

IMPROVED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDICINE DELIVERY
Improved systems and methods for medicine delivery, and in particular, improved insulin pen needles and related devices are provided. Smart injection devices record and transfer data including medicine level, delivered dose, dose confirmation, and dose time and date. Additional data captured may include glucose concentration, insulin level, carbohydrates ingested, stress level, exercise, blood pressure, and glucose high and low excursion events. Various means of data collection and analysis are provided and systems can identify and flag patients who require intervention. Smart sleeves and add sensing capability to standard insulin pens. Pen needles are provided with sensing capability to confirm and measure doses delivered by insulin pen. A two-part pen cap include a primary sleeve that connects to the insulin pen and an end cap that provides for capturing the time of dose delivery, and monitoring the hold time for a dose delivery after plunger movement.
Medication management portal device, system and methods
The present disclosure relates to a medication management portal device, and techniques for managing a person's healthcare needs using the disclosed medication management portal device.
