Storage container for automated dispensing of individual medicament portions
Described herein are methods and systems for automated dispensing of individual medicament portions. The systems can include a housing that encloses a receiving space having a bottom surface. A separation device may be provided and arranged on the bottom surface with at least one channel to receive at least one medicament portion. At least one channel may have an opening facing the receiving space and an opening facing the bottom surface. The opening facing the bottom surface may be associated with a contact area on the bottom surface, over which contact area the medicament portions may be guided upon a movement of separation device. At least one recess may be arranged in the bottom surface outside of the contact area to receive contamination particles present in the container.
Localized learning of medication routine
A medication dispenser apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a container configured to hold medication, a display interface, and a controller configured to perform, in sequence, a learning operation in which the controller learns a medication dispensing regimen of the container, a validation operation in which the controller validates the learned medication dispensing regimen; and a notification operation in which the controller provides on the display interface a status of use of the container for medication dispensing in relation to the learned medication dispensing regimen.

ELECTRONIC MATERIAL SLEEVE FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
An electronic material sleeve has a length and wall thickness and is adapted to fit over a hand-held emergency medication dispensing device via material elasticity, the sleeve including at least a microprocessor and associated circuitry encapsulated within a wall of the electronic sleeve, the microprocessor adapted to support at least one computer aided task and at least one wireless communications technology, the sleeve having at least one encapsulated batter, a partly encapsulated charge port for charging the at least one battery, at least one LED partially encapsulated within a wall of the electronic sleeve, at least one audio speaker partially encapsulated within a wall of the electronic sleeve, and at least one eccentric rotating motor (ERM) adapted to vibrate encapsulated within a wall of the electronic sleeve, the sleeve capable of performing one or more tasks in response to a command signal.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING MEDICAL EXPIRATION DATES
An injectable medication tab used to track expiration dates has an informative tab, a release string, an adhesive liner, and a quick release fastener. The informative tab provides visually accessible information about a bottle to which the injectable medication tab is attached. An expiration information portion of the informative tab protrudes from the exterior surface of the bottle after being opened. The adhesive liner is superimposed onto a mounting surface of the informative tab and attaches the informative tab to the bottle. The quick release fastener is a coupling mechanism that connects between an edge of the informative tab and the release string. The release string forms a detachable connection holding the expiration information portion against the bottle until the bottle is opened. Once opened, the expiration information section to protrudes from the bottle until the expiration information is recorded and the medical information portion is adhered to the bottle.

Smart booklet with integrated behavior incentivization and tracking features
A method of configuring a smart booklet to encourage adherence to a treatment and/or educational program is disclosed, wherein the smart booklet is “off the grid” (e.g., not connected to an electrical or networking grid) and includes an integrated behavior incentivization feature. Based on an activation of a detection feature of the smart booklet, it is detected whether a state of one or more pages of the smart booklet has changed. Based on the determination that the state of the one or more pages has changed, a set of data items pertaining to the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program is created or updated. Based on an identification that the set of data items is indicative of a failure or a success with respect to the adherence to the treatment program, a message pertaining to the failure or the success is communicated via an output component of the smart booklet (e.g., to encourage the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program).
Apparatus and method of dispensing pharmaceuticals and other medications
A medication dispensing apparatus includes a housing for at storing at least one medication in bulk, a dispenser, and a verification sensor. The at least one medication including a plurality of doses of the at least one medication. The dispenser separates a single dose from the at least one medication in bulk. The dispenser moves the single dose of the at least one medication from a position within the housing to a position outside the housing. The verification sensor verifies that the at least one medication is a correct medication.
