The pill compartments can be coupled together. The device includes a plurality of time indicator compartments that are coupled to the tray base 104 and the pill compartments. Each of the time indicator compartments includes a time set component.

A container for holding personal items is disclosed. The container includes a body with one or more dividers that at least in part define one or more compartments for holding personal items. The container includes one or more covers attached to the container body to cover and secure the personal items in the compartments. Each cover may form at least a top of a compartment. The container is less than about 8 mm in height.

A programmable pill dispensing device, system, and methods are provided. A programmable pill dispensing device may be used to automatedly dispense a pill, such as a prescription medication, at a programmed predetermined time.

Systems and containers for organizing and administering an oral immunotherapy regimen to a patient are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology is directed systems for efficiently and safely identifying pre-packaged dose units to administer to a patient undergoing oral immunotherapy. Further aspects of the present technology are directed to reducing medical staff dosing errors when administering an oral immunotherapy regimen. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of dosage containers, wherein each dosage container includes dosage identification characteristics corresponding to dosage of an oral immunotherapy composition. Further aspects of the present technology are directed to methods of dispensing an oral immunotherapy composition to a patient in a manner that mitigates the risk of errors in oral immunotherapy dose administration.

Disclosed is a medicine dispensing device and a method for dispensing medicine, wherein the medicine dispensing device includes a tray and a drop plate below the tray in a drop direction, wherein the drop plate is slidable relative to the tray between a hold position and a drop position, wherein the medicine dispensing device further includes one or more retaining members for retaining the drop plate relative to the tray in the drop direction when the drop plate is in a dispensing path, wherein the drop plate is slidable in a release direction into a release position outside of the dispensing path, wherein the one or more retaining members are arranged for releasing the drop plate from the tray in the release position.

Embodiments of an apparatus, system and method for facilitating the tracking of consumable pharmaceutical articles are disclosed. A marking apparatus is configured to apply unique indelible identifiers to pharmaceutical articles at the point-of-sale. The indelible identifiers on the articles are visually or electronically readable to allow each respective article to be traced with respect to its manufacturer, prescribing physician, patient to whom it was prescribed, dispensing location, expiration date, dosage, or some combination thereof. An associated system and method may involve the provision of a remote database element configured to be in network communication between the marking apparatus, manufacturer, distributor, prescriber, dispensing location, scanning tool, or some combination thereof. The indelible identifier may initially be generated by the apparatus and then obtained and recorded by the remote database element. Alternative, the indelible identifier may initially be generated and recorded by the remote database element, then provided to the marking apparatus.

A smart pill organizer device for use in a networked computer system to wirelessly monitor a patient's adherence to medication doses, sends alerts when missed, and order refills as needed. The device is a container comprising: a tray of removable dose units tagged with a unique identifier assigned to a patient. The tag may comprise a scannable barcode, and the scanner may be part of the device, or kit. The device further comprises computer components and wireless transmitters, and one or more electromagnetic sensors, e.g. positioned beneath the dose units, to detect when a dose is taken, and transmit the information to a remote server comprising a patient database record. When a dose is missed, an alert is sent to one or more third party electronic computing devices (e.g. patient's, doctor's, pharmacy, caregiver's, etc.). The dose units are filled automatedly with a patient's prescription by a pharmaceutical robotic system.

Described is a multi-part device for keeping consumables such as dietary supplements in separate, non-contaminatable, individually accessible container compartments. The device of the invention can also be used for storage of other items, as well. The top of the device is removable, has several interconnected lids that are attached and retained to the container portion of the device by a rotable cap, the position of which selects which lid, if any, can be opened by a user. The compartment lids separate the contents stored in the various compartments so as to keep the contents of each compartment from being contaminated by items or materials placed in other compartments or from the environment. The safe can be locked shut by rotating the cap to predetermined positions.

Provided herein is a system for automated dispensing of articles. Systems may include: a robotic arm; an end-of-arm tool attached to the robotic arm; a scanning device proximate the end-of-arm tool; and a controller to control the robotic arm and the end-of-arm tool. The end-of-arm tool may include a body and two or more vacuum cups extending from the body, where the controller controls a level of suction provided to each of the two or more vacuum cups individually. Each of the two or more vacuum cups extending from the body may be movable between a retracted position proximate the body, and an extended position away from the body of the end-of-arm tool in response to instruction from the controller. Suction may be provided only to the vacuum cups of the two or more vacuum cups that are disposed in the extended position.
