    摘要: A medication container system and method of use thereof that may be locked using a locking mechanism. A request from a user is received by a medication provider for a medication and placed in a medication container with a locking mechanism that is operable to lock and unlock the medication container. The medication container is locked using the locking mechanism. The locked medication container with the medication within is provided to the user. Subsequent to providing the locked medication container to the user, a request is received from the user to access the medication in the medication container. A credential is sent to the user that is usable, via the locking mechanism, to unlock the medication container. The user may then input the credential into the locking mechanism to unlock the medication container and access the medication therein.

    摘要: A medication organizer includes a sensor and a processor operably coupled to the sensor. The sensor is configured to detect an interaction with the medication storage container. The processor is configured to determine that a medication consumption period is active. The processor is also configured to determine that the sensor has not detected an interaction with the medication storage container during the medication consumption period. The processor is further configured to activate a notification based on not detecting an interaction with the medication storage container during the medication consumption period.

    摘要: One aspect of the present disclosure is related to a medication dispensing device. The medication dispensing device includes a housing and a tray. The tray carries a plurality of pods with interiors that can contain pills and is moveable between an open position where the pods are exposed to a user and a closed position where the pods are not exposed to the user. At least one of the pods is at least partially made of an elastomeric material that can deflect to open a passage. When the tray is in the open position, the pods are able to be individually opened to either receive pills or to dispense pills. The medication dispensing device also includes a controller that is configured to monitor the insertion of pills into the pods and the dispensing of pills out of the pods.

    摘要: The device is adapted to accommodate medication for different days or for different times of a single day such as morning, midday and evening. A pill box with sections may be used for partitioning the medication. The pill box is contemplated to have at least one see-through wall or lid such that one may see medication or a label in the pill box. Pairs of light emitters and light receivers are used to detect medication and a processing unit for receiving output signals of the light receivers is used together with a communications module for transmitting a status signal of the pill box.

    摘要: A smart case capable of monitoring blister cards having a range of formats is presented. The smart case includes a sensor system able to detect a change in the lidding film and/or content of a blister card substantially anywhere over the lateral extent of the blister card. In some embodiments, an adapter is included that enables any of a set of blister cards having different configurations (e.g., reservoir numbers, sizes, shapes, and/or inter-reservoir spacings) to be mounted in the same smart case. In some embodiments, the adapter includes walls that mitigate crosstalk between adjacent reservoirs and sensors. Sensor systems in accordance with the present disclosure provide at least one signal for each reservoir on each blister card of the set. In some embodiments, the sensor system has a density of detector elements that is at least equal to the highest density of reservoirs in any blister card of the set.

    摘要: The present discloser provides methods and systems related to a medication container that may be locked using a locking mechanism. In one exemplary method, a request from a user may be received by a medication provider for a medication. The medication may be placed in a medication container with a locking mechanism that is operable to lock and unlock the medication container. The medication container may be locked using the locking mechanism. The locked medication container with the medication within may be provided to the user. Subsequent to providing the locked medication container to the user, a request may be received from the user to access the medication in the medication container. A credential may be sent to the user that is usable, via the locking mechanism, to unlock the medication container. The user may then input the credential into the locking mechanism to unlock the medication container and access the medication therein.
