Embodiments for scheduling the delivery of multiple medications to a patient by a processor. Any interactions between the multiple medications or between one of the multiple medications and a type of food are considered to construct an analytical model to identify an optimized schedule for delivery of the multiple medications to the patient. The optimized schedule is adjusted in real time as additional information concerning the multiple medications and the type of food are introduced, and delivered to a dispensing device associated with the one of the multiple medications.

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 smart pill container and system integrating the same, combined with a method for digitally translating natural language prescription medication into a programmatically operable structure and form for use by the smart pill container system, where the digital translation includes the abstraction of a prescription frequency characteristic into a number of “slots” and the abstraction of a prescription temporary characteristic by creating an array of “as of” date and value pairs, allowing for the building of a patient's prescription schedule, where the smart pill container has a number of pill wells for storing different doses of medication, and where based on the prescription schedule, an opening in the pill container provides at least one user with access to the medication stored in a particular one of the pill wells at a given dosing time, and where a platform associated with the pill container provides instructions for dosing such medication and monitors use of the pill container for compliance with the prescribed medical regimen.

A system of prosthetic implants for a total knee replacement procedure is provided. The system includes a tibial component of a knee joint implant, a tibial insert configured to be positioned against the superior side of the platform of the tibial component, a first femoral component of a knee joint implant, and a second femoral component of a knee joint implant.

A medication control device includes a housing defining an interior of the housing and a door movable between an open position and a closed position. A carousel can be rotatably mounted within the interior of housing and is configured to receive a medication blister pack, and an actuator is configured to advance the carousel to move a blister of the blister pack to a dispensing area of the housing when operated by a user. A lock can be configured to selectively inhibit movement of the carousel is permitted. A controller is configured to, upon detecting advancement of the carousel, start a timer for a predetermined length of time and operate the lock to inhibit movement of the carousel until the predetermined length of time has elapsed. A tamper-evident seal is configured to retain the door in the closed position until broken, thereby only allowing destructive access to the medication.

Patients with substance abuse problems may be prescribed regular medication that dulls the positive effects of the substance. However, one of the largest challenges for substance abuse patients is that many do not regularly take their medication as they want to experience the high of the substance. Accordingly, systems and methods have been developed for medication sessions that distract the patient from taking the medicine by incorporating the reminder and other med actions in close temporal proximity.
