Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for wirelessly programming a prescription bottle cap. In an embodiment, the system includes a base station comprising an inductor and processor configured to receive prescription dosage instructions and instruct the inductor to alter a magnetic field in a manner representative of the prescription dosage instructions. In an embodiment, the system further includes a wirelessly programmable cap comprising a sensor configured to detect the magnetic field and to generate the prescription dosage information based on the magnetic field. A control unit is configured to instruct the wirelessly programmable cap to send an alert at a time designated by the prescription dosage information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable parsing of prescription information for a wirelessly programmable prescription bottle cap. In an embodiment, scanned information from a prescription label is received, and an identifier from the scanned information is extracted. A request for a prescription message is sent, and timing information from the prescription message is parsed and wirelessly transmitted to a prescription bottle cap using, for example, a Hall Effect data transfer method.
