Visual analysis pill dispenser
This disclosure provides a visual analytical method of verifying dispensed pills. In a preferred embodiment, a camera captures one or more parameters of each pill as it travels along a dispense path. The camera stores the parameters, and a processor displays the parameters or evaluates whether the parameters are within a threshold limit for the dispensed pill. If the parameter is outside the threshold, the pill or the receptacle is separated and/or removed. If all the parameters are within the threshold, the pill is stored in a receptacle, and the images are processed and archived for future verification. The process is repeated for each pill in the dispenser. The system captures at least one verification image for every pill dispensed into the receptacle.
Systems and methods for using smart pill bottles to display prescription information to users
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.
Catheter Tray, Packaging System, Instruction Insert, and Associated Methods
A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. Printed instructions (1001) can be included with the tray (100). One or more layers of wrap material (2200) can be folded about the tray (100) to enclose the tray (100) and other items, such as an additional layer of wrap material (2701), packaged liquid hand sanitizer (2401), and packaged gloves (2402). When a health care services provider (3101) unfolds the wrap material, the same can be used to create a sterile field beneath a patient (3201).
Vertically Stacked Pill Container
Disclosed herein are a stacked pill container, and method of dispensing timed doses of one or two pill types, the container comprising: an upper unit stacked atop an inverted lower unit, each unit comprising a circular side wall housing an inner cavity for storing the same or a different pill type. The lower unit is inverted to temporarily adhere to the bottom end of the upper unit, e.g. via metal plates with magnets. Both units comprise a flat dispensing cap, enabling the user to dispense a dose of pills from either end of the container, and store the container upright. The upper and lower unit further comprise outer markings indicating the type of pill, or time of day to take the dose. In an embodiment, the upper unit displays a sun indicating the morning dose; and the lower unit displays a moon indicating the evening dose.
Methods and Systems for Interactive Children's Medication and Wellness Tracking
Interactive children's medication and wellness tracking system includes a mobile application having a processor, a camera, and a storage device. The storage device is commutatively coupled to the processor, and includes scanning logic to extract medication data from at least one picture or video stream captured by the camera. The system can also include a graphical display logic to receive child data associated with at least one child of a user. Communication logic can transmit the medication data to a children's medication server and subsequently receive dosage data in response to the transmitted medication data. Graphical display logic can further display the proper dosage of the scanned medicine wherein the dosage is based on at least the child data, and dosage data. The proper dosage may be generated within the mobile application or can be generated within the children's medication server and transmitted to the mobile application for display.
Integrated structure of preparation syringe
An integrated structure of a preparation syringe includes a stretchable piston, a barrel, a needle, an exposed rubber plug, a sealing sheet, a built-in rubber plug, a sealing rubber plug and an engaging rubber plug. One end of the barrel is provided with the stretchable piston, and another end of the barrel is provided with a clamping column. The exposed rubber plug is provided on a side of the stretchable piston away from the barrel. The built-in rubber plug is provided within the barrel. A Scale mark is provided on a circumferential surface of the barrel. The sealing rubber plug is inlaid and sleeved on the clamping column. The sealing sheet is provided on a side of exposed tuber plug away from the barrel. A blunt end is provided at an end of the needle away form a needle tip. The engaging rubber plug is provided outside the blunt end.
METHOD OF MONITORING MEDICATION REGIMEN WITH PORTABLE APPARATUS
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.

Solid Dosage Medicament Dispenser and Methods of Use
The present disclosure provides a solid dosage medicament dispensing system including a user interface configured to receive one or more inputs from a user, and a control system configured to perform one or more functions of the solid dosage medicament dispensing system based on the one or more inputs received from the user.
SMART BOOKLET WITH INTEGRATED BEHAVIOR INCENTIVIZATION AND TRACKING FEATURES
A method of configuring a smart booklet to encourage adherence to a treatment and/or educational program is disclosed, wherein the smart booklet is “off the grid” (e.g., not connected to an electrical or networking grid) and includes an integrated behavior incentivization feature. Based on an activation of a detection feature of the smart booklet, it is detected whether a state of one or more pages of the smart booklet has changed. Based on the determination that the state of the one or more pages has changed, a set of data items pertaining to the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program is created or updated. Based on an identification that the set of data items is indicative of a failure or a success with respect to the adherence to the treatment program, a message pertaining to the failure or the success is communicated via an output component of the smart booklet (e.g., to encourage the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program).
