Abstract:
A pill dispensing system and associated methods are configured for managing the distribution of pills to a patient. In at least one embodiment, an at least one tamper-proof pill storage container provides an at least one pill magazine positioned within a housing of the pill storage container and configured for storing and selectively dispensing a plurality of pills through a pill outlet provided by the housing. A patient application, residing in memory on an at least one patient device under the control of the patient, is in selective communication with the at least one pill storage container. An at least one monitoring device is in selective communication with the patient application, the at least one monitoring device configured for assisting the patient application with monitoring an at least one vital of the patient.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for administering a pill dispensing system for managing the distribution of pills to a patient, the method comprising the steps of:\n implementing an at least one tamper-proof pill storage container that provides an at least one pill magazine positioned within a housing of the pill storage container and configured for storing and selectively dispensing a plurality of pills through a pill outlet provided by the housing; implementing a patient application residing in memory on an at least one patient device under the control of the patient, the patient application in selective communication with the at least one pill storage container; implementing an at least one monitoring device in selective communication with the patient application, the at least one monitoring device configured for assisting the patient application with monitoring an at least one vital of the patient; obtaining from the patient, via the patient application, a security code; obtaining from the patient, via an at least one biometric sensor provided by at least one of the at least one patient device and the at least one pill storage container, an at least one biometric marker associated with the patient; registering, via the patient application, a prescription associated with the pills contained within the at least one pill magazine of the at least one pill storage container, said prescription including a dosage interval and a dosage quantity; upon the patient application determining that a dosage of the pills is available for the patient, based on the associated dosage interval:\n notifying the patient via at least one of an audible alert, a visual alert and a vibrational alert via the at least one patient device; \n obtaining from the patient the security code; \n obtaining from the patient the at least one biometric marker; and \n upon the patient application authenticating the security code and the at least one biometric marker:\n transmitting a signal, via the patient application, to the at least one pill storage container, instructing said pill storage container to distribute a quantity of pills equal to the associated dosage quantity; and \n upon said pill storage container distributing the pills to the patient:\n transmitting a signal, via said pill storage container, back to the patient application; and \n scheduling, via the patient application, a future dosage of the pills based on the associated dosage interval; and \n \n \n upon the patient application determining that the at least one monitored vital is abnormal:\n notifying the patient via at least one of an audible alert, a visual alert and a vibrational alert via the at least one patient device; and \n temporarily suspending future dosages of the pills until the patient application determines that said monitored vital has returned to normal.
