Abstract: A dose management system receives a product characteristic for a product. The dose management system then associates the product with user, along with a smart monitor device that includes an embedded token. When the user thereafter installs a dose management application on a user device of the user, the dose management system receives the token, thereby authenticating the user device. The dose management system can additionally authenticate the user based on user access credentials of the user. Once the user device is authenticated, the user device, smart monitor device, and the dose management system remain in contact with each other, thereby permitting management of the product. For example, the dose management system can initiate a product refill, automatically or based on a user's request. The dose management system can also discern whether the user likely missed a dose (or not) and provide intelligent reminders to the user regarding the product.

Abstract: A cap for a medication container includes a housing with a top portion and a bottom portion. The top and bottom portions together define a cavity therebetween. A sliding plate is disposed in the cavity adjacent the bottom portion. A microcontroller with a contact sensor is disposed in the cavity between the top portion and the sliding plate. The sliding plate is configured to slide toward and activate the contact sensor where the cap is secured to the medication container in a closed state. The sliding plate is also configured to slide away from and not activate the contact sensor where the cap is removed from the medication container in an open state.
