Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a platform for monitoring patient adherence to a medication regimen. Certain aspects of the present disclosure also proved various components that may help enable such a platform, such as a smart collar capable of detecting removal and/or insertion of objects from a container (such as a pill container). Aspects of the present disclosure also provide for tailored communications with a patient. For example, a mode of communicating with the patient to encourage adherence with a medication regimen may be adjusted based on feedback regarding why the patient is not adhering to the regimen.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a platform for monitoring patient adherence to a medical regimen. Certain aspects of the present disclosure also proved various components that may help enable such a platform, such as a smart collar capable of detecting removal and/or insertion of objects from a container (such as a pill container). In some cases, a smart collar may include a first portion having sides adapted to guide objects toward an opening in the first portion sized to allow the objects to pass, at least one detector proximate the opening and responsive to removal of objects from the container as they pass through the opening in the first portion, and a processor configured to process a first signal generated by the detector to update a monitored count of objects in the container.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a cloud-based platform for monitoring patient adherence to a medication regimen. A cloud-based platform to monitor and promote patient adherence, as described herein, may help enable various useful applications.

Abstract: Prioritized communications are facilitated based on a receiving user's designation of a source (initiator), a delivery mode, and other parameters associated with the communication. The receiver may configure a list of preapproved initiators, delivery devices and modes, and any associated services such as a locator service, a mapping service, a directory service, etc. The communication is initiated by the initiator or automatically from an application associated with the initiator's device. A communication service or a hosted service retrieves receiver information and facilitates prioritized communication also providing optional services associated with the communication.

Abstract: Character and object recognition are provided from digital photography followed by digitization and integration of recognized textual and non-textual content into a variety of software applications for enabling use of data associated with the photographed content. A digital photograph may be processed by an optical character recognizer or optical object recognizer for generating data associated with a photographed object. A user of the photographed content may tag the photographed content with descriptive or analytical information that may be used for improving recognition of the photographed content and that may be used by subsequent users of the photographed content. Data generated for the photographed object may then be passed to a variety of software applications for use in accordance with respective application functionalities.
