Abstract: A data-enabled syringe collection container. The data-enabled syringe collection container may include an upper inlet body; a container body coupled to the upper inlet body; an electronics module configured for sensing and tracking dose events, the electronics module coupled to at least one of the upper inlet body or the container body; and wherein the upper inlet body may include an inlet lid; a first opening; an entry channel; and a receiving assembly including a dropout door, and wherein the inlet lid is configured for covering and accessing the first opening, the entry channel is configured to provide a passage way from the first opening to the receiving assembly, and the dropout door is configured to allow passage through a second opening into the container body.

Abstract: A data-enabled pharmaceutical container and methods for reminding at dose time, then tracking and communicating valid dose events and/or dose exception events are disclosed. Examples of dose exception events include, but are not limited to, missed doses, extra doses, early doses, and late doses. The data-enabled pharmaceutical container includes control electronics for processing and communicating information about valid dose events and/or dose exception events. For example, using a dose detection algorithm, a dose event is deemed valid based on (1) sensing the open state of the data-enabled pharmaceutical container (e.g., sensing that the closure is not present), (2) sensing a certain orientation or tilt of the data-enabled pharmaceutical container, and (3) sensing that the data-enabled pharmaceutical container is both opened and tilted simultaneously for a certain amount of time (e.g., a few seconds).

Abstract: A medication adherence system for and method of monitoring a patient's medication adherence and facilitating dose reminder notifications is disclosed. The medication adherence system includes data-enabled pharmaceutical containers, wherein the data-enabled pharmaceutical containers provide mechanisms for reminding at dose time, then tracking and communicating valid dose events, as well as missed, extra, early, and/or late dose events. The medication adherence system includes a centralized server for collecting and processing the patient-specific information from the data-enabled pharmaceutical containers. Information may be exchanged between the centralized server and the data-enabled pharmaceutical containers via a cellular network and/or the Internet.
