Abstract: A sputum image processing assembly for processing sputum in a sputum sample container, and method of processing an image of the sputum. The assembly includes a light source to illuminate the sputum, a light sensor to acquire a reflected light from the illuminated sputum, a light enclosure to limit a light between the light source and the light sensor, and an image processor module to generate an image of the sputum with the acquired light. Further disclosed is a method of processing a plurality of sputum samples over time. The method includes acquiring a first sputum image of a first sputum sample, analyzing the first sputum image to determine first color information, acquiring a second sputum image of a second sputum sample, analyzing the second sputum image to determine second color information, and creating a time-based sputum report based on the first color information and the second color information.

Abstract: A portable remote medication management system for automated and adaptive precision dosing is disclosed. The system includes a medication delivery station comprising a receptacle that stores a pre-filled replaceable medication storage and closure container. The pre-filled medication container can store oral solid medication in storage silos above a rotary release mechanism and contains a storage and communication chip that communicates with the delivery station. The medication delivery station includes a delivery housing, a drive and control mechanism, communication interfaces with the container closure and remote devices, and a removable medication receptacle within the delivery station. The medication delivery station and medication closure container connect mechanically through a drive interface under the control of the station. Dosing parameter adjustments can be controlled by an administration portal and uploaded to the medication delivery station, as commanded by the administrator.
