Abstract: Ingestible product and medical device containers validate self-administration of the product and/or corresponding use of the device over a schedule. A machine-readable optical code label such as a QR Code is affixed to an interior surface of a container containing the product or device. The container must be open to electronically read the optical code label. The label contains data associated with the product or device is read by a software application installed on a smartphone. The software receives the label-embedded data and a timestamp to validate the patient is self-administering the medication or device consistent with a schedule.
