A contents passing device according to the present invention includes a passing operation part configured to guide movement of contents, a passing movement part rotatably disposed in the passing operation part and configured to move so that the contents are passed, and a sensing part disposed in the passing operation part and configured to sense contents discharged due to free rotation of one end of the passing movement part, wherein the sensing part detects information on the sensed contents.

A container lid assembly includes a movable lid unit, a cylindrical locking device, an arcuate plate, an annular cover, and a container. A rotation of the movable lid unit and subsequent operations show change of symbol of a symbol ring and capsules in the container can be taken out of the tubular insertion member. It can correctly record the number of times of the container being opened. The container lid assembly further provides a space for storing another kind of medicine in the lid.

An artificial intelligence (AI) robot includes a body for defining an exterior appearance and containing a medicine to be discharged according to a medication schedule, a support, an image capture unit for capturing an image within a traveling zone to create image information, and a controller for discharging the medicine to a user according to the medication schedule, reading image data of the user to determine whether the user has taken the medicine, and reading image data and biometric data of the user after the medicine-taking to determine whether there is abnormality in the user. The AI robot identifies a user and discharges a medicine matched with the user, so as to prevent errors. The AI robot detects a user's reaction after medicine-taking through a sensor, and performs deep learning, etc. to learn the user's reaction, to determine an emergency situation, etc. and cope with a result of the determination.

An evaluation device for monitoring the removal of medication from an electronically readable blister pack includes at least the following: an evaluation circuit able to be used to establish interruptions, destructions and/or other damages to electrical conductor tracks of a blister pack, wherein the evaluation circuit for this purpose tests or measures the electrical resistance, the capacitance or another parameter or state of the electrical conductor tracks of a blister pack, and a contact arrangement having a plurality of electrical contacts for contacting and/or otherwise evaluating the electrical conductor tracks of a blister pack, wherein the electrical contacts are connected to the evaluation circuit by electrical lines, wherein the evaluation device is an evaluation device which can be mounted on a wrapping-free and/or unwrapped blister pack.

In various embodiments, a caregiver module is provided for use with a patient medical device, including a sensor to obtain a sensor signal related to the use of the patient medical device; an analog-to-digital converter to convert the sensor signal to corresponding sensor data; and a controller to transmit the sensor data to a wearable device, wherein the sensor data is transmitted in the same form as created by the converter. Various embodiments provide a wearable device for processing sensor data received from the caregiver module, including: memory storing processing instructions for interpreting sensor data of multiple types; and a processor to: receive configuration information associated with the caregiver module, receive sensor data of a first type from the caregiver module, and execute the processing instructions based on the configuration information, wherein the configuration information alters the operation of the processing instructions to interpret sensor data of the first type.

A monitoring system includes a weight sensor for receiving a vial containing a controlled substance possessed by a patient. A processor receives a weight measured by the weight sensor. A communication circuit transmits the weight measured by the weight sensor to a remote server. The weight sensor may be mounted in a container having a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment has a first lid that is releasable without any lock. A second compartment has a second lid that is secured by a lock. The weight sensor is mounted inside the second compartment.

Various embodiments relate to systems and methods for monitoring adherence to a medication regimen through the use of a smart medication container. The container can include an electronic display that presents relevant information, such as dosage and/or medication information, instructions, user information, messages, notifications, and device information (e.g., battery status, network connectivity status). A pair of conductive elements positioned on either side of the container's opening can be configured to continually measure capacitance in order to identify when contents (e.g., pills) leave the container. More than one pair of conductive elements may be used to improve accuracy and reduce the effects of noise. A processor is able to analyze the capacitance data and determine whether medication has been dispensed from the container and, if so, how much medication was dispensed. A computer system can then compare the results to a planned medication regimen to determine a state of compliance.

A container lid assembly includes a movable lid unit, a cylindrical locking device, an arcuate plate, an annular cover, and a container. A rotation of the movable lid unit and subsequent operations show change of symbol of a symbol ring and capsules in the container can be taken out of the tubular insertion member. It can correctly record the number of times of the container being opened. The container lid assembly further provides a space for storing another kind of medicine in the lid.

A pharmaceutical management system includes: at least one pharmaceutical storage box to store at least one pharmaceutical having corresponding at least one IC tag attached thereto; a reading device to read information stored in the IC tag, the information representing the pharmaceutical; a controller to obtain the information of the IC tag from the reading device, to manage the pharmaceutical; and a pharmaceutical refrigerator to store the pharmaceutical storage box to refrigerate the pharmaceutical, the controller including a first and second entry/exit monitoring unit to monitor entry/exit of the pharmaceutical into/from the pharmaceutical storage box; and after monitoring by the first entry/exit monitoring unit, a state of entry of the pharmaceutical into the pharmaceutical storage box is determined based on a result of monitoring by the second entry/exit monitoring unit.
