Patent ID: 8606596

Claim:
A system comprising: a remote data collection system comprising at least one computing system; a medication injection site to characterize administration of medication to a patient, the medication site comprising: a first housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the first housing and configured to deliver medication within a medication container to a patient; a medication port extending from an external surface of the first housing configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically and directly coupled to the fluid conduit, at least one first sensor disposed within the first housing to generate data characterizing administration of the medication, a first transmitter within the first housing to wirelessly transmit data generated by the sensor to the remote data collection system, and a self-contained power source within the first housing powering the at least one first sensor and the first transmitter; and a waste collection system to receive unused medication within the medication container for disposal, the waste collection system comprising: a second housing, an inlet port extending from an external surface of the second housing configured to be coupled to the fluid outlet of the medication container, at least one second sensor disposed within the second housing, the at least one second sensor, solely upon coupling of the fluid outlet of the medication container to the inlet port, generating data to identify medication received by the at least one waste collection system, at least one third sensor disposed within the second housing for measuring a volume of medication received by the at least one waste collection system and generating data specifying the measured volume, and a second transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the data from the at least one second sensor and the at least one third sensor to the remote data collection system to characterize wasted medication in the medication container.
