Connected pill dispenser

This invention describes a smart pill dispenser that uses a robotic arm to give patients their prescribed medication at home from multiple storage bins. It uses sensors like cameras or microphones to check if the patient took the medicine and monitors their health, then sends this information to their doctor. If a dose is missed, the system can connect the patient with a healthcare professional via audio or video.

Why it matters: Since 2020, significant advancements in AI and machine learning have made analyzing diverse sensor data for patient adherence and condition more robust. This, combined with the maturation of telehealth infrastructure, makes the automated monitoring and provider communication aspects more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotic arm, multiple sensors, complex software, medical device.
