  • Patent number: 4962491
    Abstract: A portable medicament dispenser and patient medical information storage apparatus utilizes a housing containing external access to an alpha/numeric keyboard, a visual display having a clock display, an alpha/numeric display portion, and a plurality of control function keys which may be used to enter the name of medicaments and the times that they should be taken throughout the day, coupled to a memory storage mechanism. An audio device enunciates the time in which all of the medicaments, in bulk quantity, contained within a compartment of the apparatus, may be retrieved by the user. A cover, over the compartment, opens automatically at the times that any medicaments are to be taken by the user, who then selects those medicaments he is to take at that time. By programming the keyboard, patient information may be inserted into the storage mechanism, for use during emergencies.
