Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a non-provisional application of, and claims priority to, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/718,586 filed Oct. 25, 2012, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure generally relates to medical tablet containers and, more particularly, to wearable medicine storage devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Certain medications must be carried with a patient in order to prevent a serious medical issue. Traditionally, patients have been forced to carry large bottles, loose pills, or blister packs with them in order to possess the medication when needed. It can be difficult for a patient to keep track of their medication, especially if it is infrequently used. Further, when doing rigorous activities, such as athletics, or sports it presents a difficult challenge for the patient to keep medication accessible during these activities, yet this time may be when it is needed most.

Previously, there have been smaller containers that may be attached to keys or other items in order to carry a small dose or tablet of medication with a patient for emergency use. Such containers can be impractical because of the difficulty of carrying keys during a workout or other activities. Additionally, when a patient may need their medication during an emergency, the patient may be unable to communicate the presence of medication on their keys or other area.

Therefore, there is a need for improved wearable medication storage devices that can be kept within easy reach of a patient and enable proper dosing in an emergency.
