The automated modular pill dispensing device is for selectively dispensing pills of a pill regimen to a patient. The dispensing device includes a base unit having a pill dispensing chute leading to a pill receptacle area. A plurality of stackable pill trays each include a series of pill compartments. The plurality of stackable pill trays each include communication ports for communicatively interfacing with the pill tray communication interface of the base unit and adjacent stackable pill trays above and below. Each stackable pill tray includes an opening in the tray base, aligned with the pill dispensing chute of the base unit, and an actuator configured to selectively advance the series of pill compartments towards the pill hopper in response to the controller so that pills therein will be dispensed, in accordance with the pill regimen, through the pill hopper and via the pill dispensing chute to a pill receptacle positioned at the pill receptacle area.

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.

A pill dispensing device including a body, member, and disc. The disc includes an aperture shaped so that the member can extend through the aperture, whereas the rotation of the member also rotates the disc. The disc includes first and second disc sections having a pill storage sections and a dispensing portion. The dispensing portion has an arm biased towards a stop, as well as a wheel. When the disc section is rotated, a wheel arm engages with the arm, causing the arm to rotate away from the stop and allowing the rotation of the disc section to continue in a first direction. The stop adjacent to the arm prevents the arm from rotating in a second direction and therefore prevents the disc section from rotating in a second direction. The rotation of the disc sections dispense medication from the device.

A drug overdose prevention software application and method of use that includes receiving a drug-using and a check-in time period and at least one emergency contact of a second user, generating on a user interface on the first user electronic computing device a drug using digital icon for indicating when the first user is about to use a drug, initiating an electronic timer for the drug-using time period upon modulation of the drug using digital icon, and generating a call-to-action digital icon on the user interface on the first user device and initiating an electronic timer for the check-in time period on the first user electronic computing device after the expiration of the drug-using time period. Thereafter, the method will either couple the first and second user electronic computing devices together over a network to notify the second user of the first user's failure to check-in or take no action.

Medication dispensing devices and methods of using such devices for identifying patients and automatically dispensing medications to the patients in a secure manner. Such devices may include a medication storage unit, a medication dispensing unit, a user interface, a user identification element, and a processor. The device may further include an enclosure defining a patient area at which a patient may interact with the machine portion of the medication dispensing device. Such medication dispensing devices may be particularly useful for medications which require daily delivery of a medication in a controlled manner, such as methadone and suboxone.

Mobile systems and methods are adapted to control and document prehospital patient care reports and communication of patient status to a receiving medical treatment facility. The systems and methods relate to systems and methods for managing, recording, and administering drugs such as narcotics in an ambulatory and/or emergency environment.

A pill packet dosage tracking and gating device is provided. The device includes a container, a gate, and a controller. The container includes a reservoir configured to hold a stream of pill packets and an extraction channel configured to guide the passage of the stream of pill packets from the reservoir out of the container. The gate is disposed in the extraction channel and is configured to vertically transition from a closed position blocking extraction of a pill packet of the stream of pill packets and an open position allowing extraction of a pill packet. The controller is configured to monitor the extraction of pill packets and control the transition of the gate from the closed position to the open position.

There is provided a system for monitoring a package. The system comprises a scanning device and a dynamic display connected to the package and comprising a display. The scanning device scans the dynamic display and sends the scanned results to a server, which processes the results and sends the scanning device an update for the dynamic display. The scanning device then sends the update to the dynamic display and the dynamic display changes the display to show the update. There is also provided a system for monitoring compliance of a user with health related activities, assisting a user with compliance, encouraging a user to comply and detecting compliance.
