A portable pill dispenser device mountable with one or more pill cartridges that dispense pills by winding a pill strip that encloses pills between flexible films. The pills are enclosed in the pill strip and are released as the films of the pill strip are separated. The pill dispense device include actuators (e.g., motors) that cause winding cylinders in each of the pill cartridges to rotate, causing the pill strip to move towards an opening of each pill cartridge, separate the films of the pill strip, and release the pills through the opening. Indicia may be marked on at least one of the films to enable detection of the moving distance of the pill strip. The pill dispense device includes a sensor for detecting the indicia so that the movement of the films and release of the pills can be tightly controlled.

A reminder system and methods may be configured for medicine regimen compliance and monitoring. Embodiments may include a control device, a medicine container, a medicine identifier, a medicine container input device, a monitoring device and a portable electrical device. The control device, the medicine container input device and the monitoring device may include microprocessors, memories, input devices and output devices. The control device may provide operations including input and compare, by the microprocessor, a prescription and medicine information. The monitoring device may provide operations including compare, by the microprocessor, the medicine identifier of the medicine container and the medicine information. The monitoring device may also provide operations including determining, by the microprocessor, the amount of medication removed from the medicine container. The operations may further include generate, by the output device, an alert in response to the distance exceeding a threshold.

A method for preparing for preparing a solution comprising a plurality of particles in a vial is disclosed. The method includes agitating the vial at a first predetermined mixing speed. The method also includes dispersing, into the vial, during the agitating, a first volume of buffer solution at a first predetermined dispensing rate to suspend the plurality of particles in the solution, wherein particles of the plurality of particles comprise a unique identifying feature.

A system and method for real-time tracking, monitoring, and engagement of users with regard to opening of packaged goods and personalization of user engagement through the use of encoded labels and a cloud-based platform is disclosed. The system and method can be used for event monitoring and in particular for medical therapy management. Medication adherence can be reported in real-time and personalized notices and reminders can be sent to users to remind them to take medication as prescribed and link them to relevant resources.

The invention generally relates to medical kits, e.g., an immunotherapy treatment and testing kits, and more particularly to a method of using the kits and system for treating allergies.

Item-management systems, apparatus, and methods are described, preferably for management of items such as medicaments. In embodiments, an item-management system comprises a container defining plural cells, a docking station configured to receive the container, sources of visible information to indicate the cell(s) into which an item is to be loaded, and at least one controller operable to control the visible information sources to indicate the cell into which the item is to be received.

The imaging system includes a rotating element that is configured to rotate about a central axis. A plurality of scanners are fixedly attached with the rotating element. Each scanner has a lens that faces generally towards the central axis, and the scanners are spaced apart from one another around the central axis. The scanners are configured to identify an optically readable machine readable code contained on the medication container. An actuator is operably connected with the rotating element and is configured to rotate the rotating element and the scanners around the central axis from respective e first positions to respective second positions to allow the scanners to image different areas of the medication container in response to a failure of the scanners to identify the machine readable code when the scanners were in the respective first positions.

Item-management systems, apparatus, and methods are described, preferably for management of items such as medicaments. In embodiments, an item-management system comprises a container defining plural cells, a docking station configured to receive the container, sources of visible information to indicate the cell(s) into which an item is to be loaded, and at least one controller operable to control the visible information sources to indicate the cell into which the item is to be received.

A medicine dispensing system includes canisters and packing assemblies to place specific doses of medicines into capsules. The system removes inert and filler ingredients to place only those active ingredients prescribed to the patient. The system includes a conveyor belt to move the capsules between canisters filled with the active ingredients. A dose is placed and packed into the capsules for each active ingredient. Thus, the number of capsules for a variety of medicines is reduced.

An injection vial and injection vial management system is disclosed, wherein the injection vial is filled with a liquid medicine and signally connected with a blockchain network. The injection vial includes a bottle body and a chipset disposed within the bottle body. The chipset includes an identification label and a blockchain module. The identification label records a manufacturing process, a logistic process and a use process. The blockchain module signal connects to the blockchain network in order to record the manufacturing process, logistic process and use process in the blockchain network.
