  • Publication number: 20210295974
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, are provided for assisting users with adherence to a medication regimen. An attachable device includes a sensor module releasably attached to an adapter, which is in turn attached to a medication container using a connector. The sensor module can be removed from the adapter to change an included battery without removing the adapter from the medication container. The sensor module is in communication with a user device, such as a smart phone. A user can use an app on the user device to create a medicine regimen, or schedule, and send the schedule to the sensor module. The user can also set notification preferences on the user device to be sent to the sensor module. The sensor module includes audio and/or visual transducers that notify the user to take the medication at the scheduled times. The sensor module further includes one or more buttons that are pressed when a user opens the medication container.

  • Patent number: 10245216
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, are provided for assisting users with adherence to a medication regimen. An attachable device includes a sensor module releasably attached to an adapter, which is in turn attached to a medication container using a connector, such as adhesive tape. The sensor module can be removed from the adapter to change an included battery without removing the adapter from the medication container. The sensor module is in communication with a user device, such as a smart phone. A user can use an app on the user device to create a medicine regimen, or schedule, and send the schedule to the sensor module.

  • Publication number: 20180271410
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, are provided for monitoring a user's activity, orientation, and/or transitions between activities and/or orientations. A motion detection device is placed on a user's body in a manner to prevent the user from removing the device. The device detects the user's activities, orientations, and/or transitions via one or more accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc. The device transmits data regarding the activities, etc., to a server for logging and analysis. The data may be transmitted via a gateway device. Based on the analysis of the data, one or more notifications may be sent to, e.g., providers of the user. The motion detection device can detect that it has been removed from the user's body through a proximity detector, e.g., an infrared sensor. The motion detection device may include a button that can be pushed by a provider to indicate that a situation causing a notification, e.g.
