A prescription drug dispensing device for controlled dosing of capsules, pills, and tablets includes an access control, dispensing, and communication module, which is integral to a container. The container comprises a body, for holding a prescription drug for a user, and a lid to secure the prescription drug in the container. The access control, dispensing, and communication module is programmable with a biometric characteristic of the user and a dosing regimen. The access control, dispensing, and communication module dispenses a dose of the prescription drug, according to the dosing regimen, and sends dosing data to one or both of a smartphone of a user and an electronic device of a prescriber or a pharmacist. A tamper sensor detects an unauthorized attempt to open the container and sends a tampering signal to a dispenser, which dispenses a chemical solution onto the prescription drug to render the prescription drug inactive.

A sleep medication dispensing system is for controlling release of a sleep medicament to a user based on sleep information related to the user. The system includes an electronic medicament dispensing device with a release mechanism to permit release of a controlled dose of a sleep medication which is stored in a holding area of the device. The system includes a processing arrangement which receives the user sleep pattern information, 5 and performs a release assessment which depends at least in part on the sleep pattern information. Release of a dose of the sleep medication in a given instance is made dependent upon an outcome of the release assessment. 10

The disclosure relates to an apparatus for making cannabinoid-containing beverages. The apparatus comprises at least one interface configured to receive a cartridge containing a cannabinoid-containing substance. The apparatus also comprises at least one valve, in fluid communication with the at least one interface, configured to dispense an amount of the substance from the cartridge. A valve controller is configured to control the valve in order to vary the amount of the substance dispensed by the valve.

A box for drug management and recycle is provided, which includes a drug box body, a camera device, a card-swiping device, a display device, a processor, and a power supply. A RFID detection device and electronic locks are arranged in the recycle box. A wireless communication module, an early warning module and a processing module are arranged in the processor, and the processor is wirelessly connected to a server terminal. The acquisition and return of the drugs can be jointly completed through face recognition and card-swiping recognition, and can be specified to an individual according to the obtained employee number and other information, thus facilitating the strict management of drug and achieving the recycle of unwanted drug. Therefore, the recycle box has a broad clinical prospect.
