Abstract: Method and system for a medication adherence tracking device of a medication container. The adherence tracking device includes a motion sensor detecting at least a partial rotation of a removable cap of a medication container, the motion sensor being disposed at least partly on the removable cap; and a transmitter transmitting adherence data that indicates a time of removal of the cap from the medication container in accordance with the motion sensor.

Abstract: A medication adherence tracking device is configured for being attached to a cap of a conventional medication container. The tracking device includes an adhesive layer for attaching the device to the cap. The device also includes an infrared proximity sensor for detecting an amount of light that is reflected by a wall surface and/or a bottom surface of the medication container. A transmitter of the tracking device transmits adherence data to an external computing device, wherein the adherence data comprises a timestamp identifying when the cap was removed from the container. Reflected light data obtained by the sensor is sent to a processor, and the processor uses the data to determine whether the cap has been removed from the container. When the cap is removed from the container, the processor generates the timestamp.

Abstract: A system and method for dispensing a pill. A pill bottle may be coupled with a pill dispensing bottle cap. The pill dispensing bottle cap may comprise a closure system for the pill dispensing bottle cap to the pill bottle. The pill dispensing bottle cap may comprise an interior funnel, an interior pathway, an exterior pathway, an exterior opening, a delivery system, an activation system, and a sensor. The interior funnel may navigate one or more pills towards the interior pathway. The activation system may determine if activation of the delivery system is appropriate. The delivery system may cause a pill to move from the interior pathway to the exterior pathway. The pill may move from the exterior pathway through the exterior opening and exit the pill bottle. The sensor may detect the pill exiting the pill bottle and cause pill information associated with the pill bottle to be updated.
