Abstract: There is provided a device, a method and a system for managing and monitoring the medication of a patient. The medication storage and retrieval device (21) for managing and monitoring use of medication, the device (21) comprises a housing (122); a movable support (123) coupled to the housing; one or more containers (1) removably positionable within the housing of the device locatable on the support, each container being configured to store a medication, the medication provided in a loose form such as tablets or pills. The device (21) has a first closed configuration when the movable support (123) and containers thereon (1) are stowed within the housing, and a second open configuration when the movable support (123) and said containers (1) thereon are located outside the housing for access by a user to allow retrieval of medication from a container, as required.

Abstract: The present application relates to a medical management system (100) and method for managing and tracking medical and/or clinical events associated with a patient such as vaccine administration, medicament administration, drug trial, and the like. The medical management system (100) comprises a pathogen care management platform (110), which is communicatively coupled to at least one electronic device (150 1-n) and at least one pathogen care device (120 1-n). The electronic device (150 1-n) is configured to identify the patient prior to a medical and/or clinical event, while the pathogen care device (120 1-n) is configured to detect a deposit of a pathogen care item associated with the medical event. The PCM platform (110) is configured to receive the information generated by at least one electronic device (150 1-n) and at least one pathogen care device (120 1-n) and accordingly update a digital health data record of the user.

Abstract: A point of care device for supporting management of medication at a point of care location is provided, comprising: a container defining an interior space accessible via an opening and a sensor system. A sensor system coupled to the container includes one or more vibration sensors, a memory, and a power supply. The vibration sensors (i) detect vibrations or movements resulting from end-user interactions with the container and (ii) output vibration signal data indicative of the vibrations detected. The memory stores the vibration signal data over a defined time period. In a first point of care mode, the container receives and contains used medication delivery devices into the interior space, and to contain said used medication delivery devices therein. In a second processing mode, the container allows access to the interior space for removal of the used medication delivery devices.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring patient medical adherence of a user of an associated medicament container. The medicament container is configured to receive medicament deposits and/or to dispense medicament, and to transmit medicament information each time the medicament container is operated by the user. A medical adherence monitoring platform is configured for receiving, via a communication link, the medicament information from the at least one medicament container, the adherence monitoring platform comprising a classification engine configured for classifying the medicament information according to a prescribed medicament schedule associated with the user and/or dosage regime. The classified medicament information being indicative of the medical adherence of the user to their prescribed medicament schedule and/or to a prescribed dosage regime. The classified medicament information being stored in an adherence database.

Abstract: A system includes a medical item affixed with an electronically readable label, and a receptacle having a sensor configured to read the electronically readable label and communicate data pertaining to the electronically readable label with a server-based medical adherence application.

Abstract: A cartridge includes a case housing a smartphone, a housing configured to hold a medication blister pack, and a detection method to record the blister pack being put in and out of the housing.

Abstract: A system includes a smartphone, a connected sharps container, the connected sharps container communicatively linked to the smartphone, and a web server, the web server communicatively linked to the smartphone and to the connected sharps container.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a medication dispensing phone case system. A system includes a smartphone, the smartphone including at least a processor, a memory and a display, the memory including at least an operating system and an adherence app, a connector system, the connector system removably linking the smartphone to a medication dispensing container, the connector system including at least sensing technology that enables the connector system to read an activity from the medication dispensing container, and a server in a network of interconnected computer devices, the server communicatively linked to the smartphone to enable interaction between the adherence app and an adherence process residing in the server.
