Abstract:
1. A remotely monitored medication delivery system comprising: at least one dosage containment unit defining an internal volume, each of the at least one containment units having at least one moveable door defining an opening thereto; a sensor in signal communication with each of the at least one moveable door for monitoring the status of said door and producing a signal indicative of said status: and a transmitter in signal communication with said sensor for receiving the signal from said sensor and transmitting the signal to a remote receiver, further comprising a data entry device in at least indirect signal communication with said transmitter such that data entered into said remotely monitored medication delivery system is transmitted to said remote receiver by said transmitter, further comprising a data entry device in at least indirect signal communication with said transmitter such that data entered into said remotely monitored medication delivery system is transmitted to said remote receiver by said transmitter wherein the remote receiver further comprises: a programmable controller having a predefined alert table programmed therein in at least indirect signal communication with said remote receiver, wherein said alert table contains alert codes for each of at least one or more predetermined codes; and a second transmitter in at least indirect signal communication with said programmable controller, wherein said programmable controller receives said data from said remote receiver, scans said data for the at least one or more predetermined codes, compares said at least one predetermined code versus said alert table, and generates at least one alert code based on said alert table, and wherein said second transmitter is activated to send said data to at least one supervising medical attendant when indicated by said alert code.
