The present invention is a bracelet that contains a cartridge holding a plurality of interior storage compartments that are each designed to hold one or more pills. A sliding door is used to withdraw the pills from any one compartment at a time. The bracelet comprises electronic components that enable it to activate a vibrating alarm at a prearranged time to remind the user to take her pills, and to track when the door has been opened to withdraw the pills, and to communicate the alarm and tracking information to an external electronic device, such as a mobile phone, via Bluetooth wireless communication.

A pharmaceutical management system including a housing having a closeable top cover. Within the housing, there is provided, in combination, a computer processor and a computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions being executed by the computer processor, a plurality of pharmaceutical containers within the housing; each of the plurality of pharmaceutical containers having an identification means, and scanning means in communication with the computer processor adapted to read information from the identification means. The computer executable instructions include instructions identifying a pharmaceutical in each of the containers based on information in the identification means.

A talking medicine label, bottle, system and method for their manufacture are described. The system and method include use of a recording device by speaking into a microphone and then affixing the talking label to the side of a conventional pill bottle to transform it into a talking pill bottle. The system and method alternatively may include a PC/POS terminal and a speech synthesis device for programming the label with a synthetic-speech recording.

A notification system includes a database network, the database network configured to store a medication schedule of a patient; a voice translation service in communication with the database network; and a notification device comprising a processor configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one of database network and the voice translation service, the processor contained in a housing, the housing configured for attachment to the patient, a portion of the housing comprising a display panel; and a memory in communication with the processor, wherein the memory stores executable instructions for causing the processor to provide a visual reminder, at the display panel, of a medication event in the patient's medication schedule, transmit to the voice translation service a voice signal corresponding to an utterance of the patient; and receive from the voice translation service a verbal response to the utterance.

Methods and systems are described for monitoring medication use with a home automation system. An example medication monitoring system includes a medication storage device, a proximity device, and a dispenser module. The medication storage device is configured to hold a plurality of medications. The proximity device is configured to detect an activity of a user relative to the medication storage device. The dispense module is configured to detect a pattern of the activity based on data received from the proximity device, and generate a notice. The notice may be generated if the pattern is broken. The notice may include a summary report on usage of the medication storage device. The notice may include an alarm if the medication storage device is, for example, tampered with or moved.

Medicinal container bags are presented. Bags can include openers capable of sealing an opening of the bag. Disclosed bags further comprise electronic assemblies configured to detect opening or closing events as the openers move along the rims of the bag opening. The assemblies can compile usage data based on opener movement, and then provide the data to remote monitoring systems.

An improved baby bottle assembly that glows in the dark structured and arranged to be located without having to turn on the light, which may make a baby become wide awake. The bottle will also play a soothing melody, to help ease the baby back to sleep.

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.

An improved baby bottle assembly that glows in the dark structured and arranged to be located without having to turn on the light, which may make a baby become wide awake. The bottle will also play a soothing melody, to help ease the baby back to sleep.

A medication dispensing and compliance monitoring system is described. The system includes a dispenser unit which holds a tray containing an array of sequentially ordered medication canisters and a mobile computing device physically incorporated into the dispenser unit. The mobile computing device, such as a cell phone, acts as a communications link and contains processing, memory, and user interface capabilities of the system. Each medication canister is dispensed by the system at a prescribed time, and contains a single dose of one or more medications. Sensors within the dispenser create data documents times wherein medications are dispensed, which can be uplinked to remote parties, such as healthcare providers, caretakers, and family members. Coupling with patient physiologic monitoring devices is also provided. A novel loading tray for accurately loading a plurality of prescribed medications into each medication canister is also disclosed.
