Abstract: According to some embodiments, systems, apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture may provide for improved health care compliance. Embodiments may comprise, for example, identifying an occurrence of an event associated with the taking of a substance by a patient, determining output information associated with a game, and providing the output information to the patient. Some embodiments may comprise receiving a code associated with a patient, wherein the code includes encoded information that is indicative of an occurrence of an event associated with the taking of a substance by a patient, decoding the code to determine the information, determining whether the occurrence of the event is compliant with a condition associated with the taking of the substance, and providing, in the case that compliance with the condition is determined, one or more rewards to the patient.

Abstract: A transuctaneous fluid kit for controllably evacuating fluid from a fluid site to a fluid collector, while preventing an outrush of fluid from the fluid site. A cannula is provided for fluid collection at the site to be drained. A Y-connector is provided at the proximal end of the needle. A one-way valve is mounted to the first leg of the Y-counter to prevent the outrush of fluid upon insertion of the cannula to the fluid site. A second leg of the Y-connector is provided for carrying evacuated fluid to a collection device via tubing.
