Abstract: A substance dispensing apparatus comprises a housing for handheld use and a mouthpiece coupled to the housing. The housing comprises a biometric sensor and a cavity sized to receive a reservoir. The mouthpiece comprises a recess and a capacitive sensor array. The apparatus further comprises a pump coupled to the mouthpiece and couplable to the reservoir and comprises a processor in communication with the biometric sensor, capacitive sensor array, and pump. The processor is configured to cause the pump to automatically dispense a substance from the reservoir to a mouth of an intended user via the mouthpiece in response to determining that: a unique biometric attribute of the intended user is detected by the biometric sensor based on biometric data from the biometric sensor; and a unique dentition of the intended user is positioned within the recess of the mouthpiece based on dentition data from the capacitive sensor array.

Abstract: Computerized oral prescription administration with refillable medication dispensing devices and associated systems and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a method of dispensing a substance to an intended user is provided. The method comprises receiving an input from a biometric sensor; determining, based on the received input, whether an intended user's unique biometric attribute is detected by the biometric sensor; receiving an input from an environmental sensor; determining, based on the received input, whether a mouthpiece is positioned within a user's mouth; receiving an input from a capacitive sensor array of the mouthpiece; determining, based on the received input, whether an intended user's unique dentition is positioned within a recess of the mouthpiece; and dispensing a substance from a reservoir to a mouth of the intended user in response to determining that the intended user's unique biometric attribute is detected by the biometric sensor.

Abstract: Computerized oral prescription administration (COPA) devices, systems, and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a method of managing substance administration is provided. The method comprises receiving, by a substance management system, a dosage instruction for administering a substance to an intended user through a mouthpiece including a recess sized and shaped to receive a unique dentition of the intended user; receiving, by the substance management system, activity information associated with administering the substance to the intended user; and generating, by the substance management system, a record based on the received activity information.

Abstract: Computerized oral prescription administration (COPA) devices, systems, and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a method of dispensing a substance to an intended user is provided. The method comprises identifying an intended user based on a biological marker of the intended user; determining whether a unique dentition of the intended user is positioned within a recess of a mouthpiece based on a comparison to data associated with the intended user's unique dentition being positioned within the recess; and dispensing a substance from a reservoir coupled to the mouthpiece in response to identifying the intended user and determining that the intended user's unique dentition is positioned within the recess of the mouthpiece.

Abstract: Refill and dosage management devices and associated systems and methods for use with computerized oral prescription administration (COPA) devices are provided. In some examples, an apparatus includes a dispensing unit configured to dispense a substance into a reservoir of a mouthpiece of an intended user; and an identification unit configured to, based on a communication from the mouthpiece, determine an identity of the intended user when the mouthpiece of the intended user is coupled to a housing, the housing sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the mouthpiece.
