Abstract: A nasal spray device can include housing having a sensor and a nozzle having a housing interface with a graphical image thereon. The sensor can be configured to sense movement of the graphical image when the nozzle moves relative to the housing, for instance during administration of medicine from the nasal spray device. The sensor can include an infrared proximity sensor that senses infrared reflectivity from the graphical image. The infrared proximity sensor can also be used to measure distance to a surface of a vial within the housing to thereby detect insertion of the vial into the housing.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a locking medication dispensing device is presented herein. The dispensing device can include a housing portion and a nozzle portion that is depressible into the housing to administer a medication. The device can include a vial lock to secure a medicinal vial within the device and a nozzle lock to control administration of medication. The dispensing device can further include sensors for identifying a user such as a biometric sensor and/or micro gesture sensors. Parameters for locking the nozzle and/or vial can be configured via a physician device. Reminders, user pairing, and other user communications can be facilitated via a patient device. The dispensing device can include partial depression sensors and lock-out features to further prevent tampering. A top-loading dispensing device can include a disposable nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for dispensing medication through a time controlled device linked to a web platform. The system includes a dispensing device in wireless communication with a computing device. A web platform on the computing device can be used to program the dispensing device with parameters such as the dosage number, minimum time period between dosages, and the like. Based on the programmed parameters, a solenoid in the dispensing device will lock or unlock based on dosages administered and the time between dosages.
