Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for secure retrieval, tracking, administration, and/or return of contents such as oral medications. In some cases, a system for securing and tracking contents within a container is provided. The system may comprise an adapter configured to couple to an opening to the container, or to a cap of the container. The adapter can be configured to operate and switch between an unlocked state and a locked state. The system may also comprise a key device paired with the adapter. The key device can be configured to cause the adapter to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state upon activation of the key device, thereby permitting a user to open the container and access the contents from the container.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of removing a cover from a bodily surface of a subject. The method may comprise applying a cover removal device to a portion of the cover that is disposed on the bodily surface of the subject, thereby generating a connection between the cover removal device and the portion of the cover. The method may comprise moving the cover removal device across the bodily surface of the subject in order to selectively remove the cover from the bodily surface and capture the cover onto the cover removal device, without the cover removal device substantially affecting or interfering with the bodily surface of the subject.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for medication disposal, e.g., at a medical institution or a pharmacy. For example, a system for medical disposal can comprise a receiving unit configured to receive a medication from a user. The medication can be an unused or leftover portion of a prescribed medication for a subject in need thereof. The system can comprise one or more sensors operatively coupled to the receiving unit. The one or more sensors can be configured to detect the medication received by the receiving unit. The system can comprise an analysis engine operatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The analysis engine can be configured to determine a score indicative of a management of the prescribed medication by the user, based at least in part on (i) the detection of the medication received.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a reconstructable visual code. A visual code may be separated into a plurality of individual portions. The plurality of individual portions may be configured to transform between two or more states. In a first state, the plurality of individual portions may be spaced apart to form a non-functional visual code. In a second state, the plurality of individual portions may be moved relative to each other to form a functional visual code.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an injectable medication security device. The device may comprise a recess on a first portion of the device. The recess may be configured to receive and couple to a neck portion of a vial containing the injectable medication. The device may comprise an opening on a second portion of the device, to permit access to a penetrable cover of the vial. The device may comprise at least one aperture configured to control access to the opening. The device may comprise a depressible switch. The depressible switch may be configured to cause the at least one aperture to open and provide access to the opening when the depressible switch is depressed, thereby permitting the medication to be drawn from the vial. The depressible switch may be configured to cause the at least one aperture to lock and close the opening when the depressible switch is released.
