Abstract: A medication dispensing device may include a plurality of trays, each tray optionally including a load cell configured to measure a mass/weight of a medication contained in the respective tray. Each tray is placeable in a medication accessible position and a medication inaccessible position. The medication dispensing device includes a user interface configured to provide instructions and/or other information with regard to access for each medication. A processor provides instructions to selectively place each tray in the medication accessible position, and to determine, based on any change in the mass of the medication placed in the medication accessible position, whether the appropriate amount of the medication is removed from the tray.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to the computerized synthesis of simulated health data are provided. A computing device can receive a respective data model constructed from protected health information (PHI) hosted by a respective health data provider. The computing device can create a state transition machine from the received data model, where a state of the state transition machine represents a health related event of a synthetic life. The computing device can generate a synthetic health data set for each synthetic person in a synthetic population by calculating one or more health related events for each time step in the synthetic life. The computing device can calculate a similarity score by comparing the generated synthetic health data set to an actual health data set. The computing device can adjust the received data model based on the score falling below a threshold similarity, thereby creating an adjusted data model.

Abstract: A medication system includes a blister pack. The blister pack includes a sheet containing a plurality of blisters each respectively containing at least one medication. The blister pack further includes a backing positioned on the sheet and a substrate layer having electronic circuitry thereon, the circuitry including traces terminating at one end at positions corresponding to each of the blisters. The blister pack is connected to an edge connector disposed adjacent to an edge of the sheet, the traces terminating at an other end to the edge connector. The medication system also includes a hub in electronic communication with the blister pack. The traces positioned such that each time a blister is punctured, the breakage event is communicated to the hub and recorded.

Abstract: A method and system for managing various aspects of a patient's health, such as medications, testing, subjective evaluation, communications, education, and appointments (such method and system also referred to as a “wellness solution”). The wellness solution may include a medication dispensing device, including multiple trays for holding medication, and/or use thereof. The wellness solution may also include a pharmacy application allowing a pharmacist to manage a medication schedule of a patient and upcoming patient appointments, among other features. The pharmacy application may also allow a pharmacist to monitor for health changes in a patient, change prescription schedules for the patient, and help educate a patient, for example.

Abstract: A word formation game using a grid pattern to define a plurality of grid space, a plurality of tiles having various letters and associated numerical point values imprinted thereon, and having a root word, preferably the word “EXTRACTOR,” disposed on grid spaces, with the goal of such word game being to earn and accumulate more points than the other players by the game's end. The game provides for removing letters of words already formed in the grid spaces to form new words via simple extraction or by extracting and adding a new letter in place of the extracted letter.

Abstract: A kit and method for playing a dice game including a bag resembling a soft-shelled beverage cooler; rolling bins each configured to resemble a beverage can; and a set of dice in each bin, the dice including six groups of six dice, where each group is of a different color. The game includes arranging players about a playing surface; providing a bin and set of dice for each player; and each player: shakes their bin to mix the dice; takes a first throw of their dice onto the playing surface; sorts their set of dice into subsets based on color to form color subsets; sorts each of the color subsets into number groupings based on a number marking provided on an upwardly facing face of each die in the subsets; selects one or more of the number groupings to play; and arranges the selected number groupings into a predetermined pattern.
