A medication adherence system and corresponding medication box for improving medication adherence. The system includes the medication box, which is transparent and has a machine-readable marker, such as a QR code, on or beneath the floor thereof. The marker is capable of being scanned and read through the transparent bottoms of individual chambers. Data embedded in the marker includes, but is not limited to, the user's medication plan, the date and time when the medication is to be ingested, and instructions for recording the date and time when the marker is scanned and read. The underlying software program/application processes this information and provides an indication as to the user's compliance with the medication plan.

A method and a medication organizer tray apparatus for organizing medications and collecting medication adherence information are provided. The medication organizer tray apparatus includes a support frame, multiple medication bins accommodating multiple medications, a bin cover layer with multiple customized bin labels, and a conductive circuit layer. The support frame includes multiple apertures positioned at predefined intervals from each other for placement of the medication bins. The customized bin labels having medical information printed thereon seal openings of the medication bins. The conductive circuit layer includes conductive lines running along one or more of a lower surface of the bin cover layer, around each medication bin, and a lower surface of each medication bin. The conductive circuit layer electrically communicates with a receptacle base to enable detection of removal of each medication bin from the support frame and detection of tampering of the medication bins.

Systems, methods, and modules providing integrated medication management utilizing a medication management module. The module comprises cartridge slots, a pill extractor, a pill dispenser, and processors. The method includes receiving patient data of a patient, storing the patient data, and determining a presence of pill cartridges and pills. The module scans a cartridge label corresponding to the patient and the pills and authenticates the cartridges based on the patient data and the pills. The system determines, in response to authenticating, a medication regimen based on the patient data and pills and extracts pills from the pill cartridges. The module ensures verifying a correct extraction of pills and dispensing the pills at a predetermined time in a predetermined amount based on the medication plan. The module verifies a correct dispensing of pills at the predetermined time in the predetermined amount.

A computerized dispensary management system and method enhances dispensary product management and are supported by a blister pack separation apparatus. The system and method operate according to a computer-implementable application and at least one computer. A scanner system further cooperates with the application and computer for scan-inputting product- and person-identifying machine-readable code information to the application for processing. The person-identifying code is scannable to identify a person and a product regimen for the person. The application provides a series of sequential screenshots based upon basic filler and dispenser screenshots for filler and dispenser side product management, guiding the user through a regimen-filling and administration. The processes are characterized by screenshot re-arrangements occurring thereto as each successive code is scanned. The blister pack separation apparatus operates to simultaneously sever individual blister pack units therefrom, which units are then outfitted with machine-readable code and thus made scannable by the system.

The present disclosure is directed to a dispenser that includes a receiving opening configured to receive a plurality of medical products into a cavity of the dispenser as an available inventory, wherein each of the plurality of medical products includes an identifier; a plurality of holders in the cavity, each of the plurality of holders configured to store at least one of the plurality of medical products in a fixed location that is associated with the one of the plurality of medical products, and each of the plurality of holders including a dispensing opening; at least two emitters and at least two sensors around a periphery of the receiving opening, wherein the at least two emitters and the at least two sensors are arranged around a periphery of the receiving opening on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the plurality of dispensing openings; a processor; and a electronic storage device.

A method of providing a container containing at least one prescription medication package and its approved Food and Drug Administration prescribing information is described. The Food and Drug Administration prescribing information is not affixed to, adhered to, attached to, or contained within the package of medication, and is present in a quantity that is equal to, or greater, than the quantity of prescription medication packages.

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.

A medication delivery apparatus, including: a housing configured to accommodate a strip of medication packages in its interior and having an outlet for outputting medication packages from the interior of the housing; a lid of the housing configured to enable access to the interior of the housing; and an electronically controllable lock mechanism positioned in the interior of the housing and configured to lock the lid in a closed position. The apparatus is configured such that the lock mechanism is configured to be controlled from the exterior of the housing by a control device.

An automatic drug compounder system may be provided with various components and capabilities for reconstituting a drug in a vial and providing the reconstituted drug to a receiving container. The system may include a camera for capturing images of the vial and processing circuitry for extracting information such as a lot number and an expiration date from the images. The system may rotate the vial while capturing the images to capture images of the entire vial. The processing circuitry may search a portion of the image for the lot number and expiration date, the portion based on stored information. The stored information may include a location, orientation, font size, or font color for printed information for a particular vial. The stored information may be retrieved based on a bar code read by the system.

A method including authorizing a user to access a dispensing unit upon receipt of a medication request, is provided. The dispensing unit comprises a storage location with one or more door enclosure storing at least one container. The method also includes providing a visual indicator to the user for a selected container in the storage location with one or more door enclosure, the selected container comprising a medication associated with the medication request, and unlocking the selected container for the user by wirelessly actuating a latch for a lid in the selected container from a mat that is communicatively coupled with the dispensing unit. The method also includes locking the selected container when the user verifies a transaction comprising the medication request, and updating a record and a medication inventory in a remote server based on the transaction. A storage location with one or more door enclosure and a container used in the above method are also provided.
