A computing system may be used to receive bin configuration values corresponding to a plurality of physical bins for prescription storage. The bin configuration values may be used to assign serial identifiers to the plurality of bins. Prescriptions may be selectively assigned a bin serial identifier using a plurality of rules and the bin serial number may be used to locate the prescription when the prescription is requested, such as during pickup.

A medication case is disclosed. The medication case includes a lid. A tracker comprising day indicators for identifying the day of the week. At least one medication indicator for identifying the number of pills taken. A slider for each indicator to be moved and identify the day of the week on the day indicator, and to identify the number of pills on the pill indicator; and a base divided into compartments. In a second aspect, the medication case comprises a lid. A tracker comprising a tracking plate with day indicators for identifying the day of the week, and at least one medication indicator for identifying the number of pills taken. A slider for each indicator to be moved and identify the day of the week on the day indicator, and to identify the number of pills on the pill indicator; and a base divided into compartments.

The invention relates to a silicone protector (1) for a drinking vessel (7), the silicone protector (1) having an all-around lateral part (3) with a top opening (1.1) for a part of the drinking vessel (7) extending upwards from the top opening (1.1) and a base part (3.2). According to the invention, the silicone protector (1) comprises an LED module (2) and the LED module (2) is in the form of a disk and is inserted in the silicone protector (1) on top of the base part (3.2).

Dispensing devices and systems for oral transmucosal administration of small volume drug dosage forms to the oral mucosa are provided. The dispensing device may be a single dose applicator (SDA), or an electromechanical device comprising a means for patient identification such as a wrist worn RFID tag and annular bidirectional antenna together with a lock-out feature.

According to the preferred embodiment, a rack (10) is provided to stock at least one medication container (16). The rack (10) has a generally rectangular shape, open on all sides, except for a tower (20) that is located at one end of base (12). The tower (20) includes indicia (26) and medication-related information (27) depicting at least two time frames for a user to consume his/her medications. Said at least one medication container (16), also includes indicia (33) and medication-related information (29) depicting at least two time frames for a user to consume his/her medications. The medication container (16) is accommodated on top of base (12) of rack (10), so that the medication-related information (29) of the medication container (16) aligns with the corresponding medication-related information (27) of the tower (20). Accordingly, a user will be able to observe the medication-related information of the tower (27), and also continuously observe the corresponding medication-related information (29) of the at least one medication container (16), or of several medication containers (16) in the case of a larger rack (10). For example, if the user notes, on the medication-related information (27) of the tower (20), the designation “MORNING”, then the user will be able to continuously view the generally aligned and corresponding medication-related information (29) of one or more medication containers (16) to search for the corresponding medication-related information (29), such as “TAKE 1”, thereby noting the at least one medication, and quantity thereof, that need be consumed by the user.

A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes compartments for storing respective medications. The medication tray may have a tray identifier associated therewith. The system may also include a mobile wireless communications device configured to obtain at least one image of the medication tray, and apply a Hough line detection algorithm to the at least one image to determine a boundary outline of the medication tray. The mobile wireless communications device may also be configured to generate a current medication stocking list of the medication tray based upon the boundary outline and the tray identifier from the at least one image.

A method and apparatus for Secure Storage and Dispensing of Opioid (SSDO) or other controlled substances while providing remote assistance and monitoring. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a motorized medication tray for automatic dispensing of pills with optional blister pack containing sealed medication. The device further comprises of a secure tamper resistant housing mechanism, plurality of sensors along with a wireless communication module to notify the remote operators in case of illegal and unauthorized access. The current invention can be configured into multiple embodiments including but not limited to a mobile wearable device capable of attaching to a person's wrist, arm, foot and other body parts.

A method of monitoring medication regimen with portable apparatus installed with a blister monitoring software for collecting patient compliance data, including one or multiple blister packages, a unique identification code disposed on each package. An embodiment of the invention includes steps of: logging patient into blister monitoring software with personal credential; capturing image of blister package using portable apparatus; analyzing image of blister package and obtaining unique identification code of package; crosschecking patient identity with package identification code to prevent false medication; automatically recording medication time and remaining tablets or capsules inside blister package. The method of the invention prevents false medication and enables doctors and nurses to remotely track patient's progress in real-time, thus increasing medication compliance.

In some instances, a method performed by a smart pill bottle delivery device is provided. The method comprises determining one or more prescription timing intervals indicating times for the user to take one or more medication units of the medication based on retrieving a prescription for the user from memory, providing one or more visual notifications indicating for the user to take the one or more medication units based on the one or more prescription timing intervals, subsequent to providing the one or more visual notifications, detecting position information indicating an action performed by the user, and causing display of a second display screen based on the position information indicating the action performed by the user.
