Abstract:
A medication management system, having a pill dispensing system having: a funnel having an open bottom end; a tube holder; a tube having: a hollow interior; means for securing the tube to the tube holder, such that a rotational movement of the tube holder causes a same rotational movement of the tube; a pill receiving hole facing upwards when the pill dispensing system is not actuated, and providing access to the hollow interior; wherein the open bottom end is aligned with the pill receiving hole when the pill dispensing system is not actuated, such that the pill receiving hole is configured to receive a pill, the pill dropping from the funnel into and housed within the hollow interior; and means for causing the rotational movement, such that the pill receiving hole faces downwards and thus dispenses the pill housed within the hollow interior out of the pill dispensing system.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of medication management using a pill dispensing system comprising a pill dispensing system having:\n a funnel having:\n an open top end; and \n an open bottom end, wherein the open top end is larger than the open bottom end; \n a tube holder having:\n a first tube holder end; and \n a second tube holder end; \n a plurality of tubes, each tube of the plurality of tubes having:\n a hollow interior; \n a first tube end; \n a second tube end; \n means for securing the tube to the tube holder when the first tube end is aligned with the first tube holder end and the second tube end is aligned with the second tube holder end, such that a rotational movement of the tube holder causes a same rotational movement of the tube; and \n a pill receiving hole between the first tube end and the second tube end, the pill receiving hole facing an upwards direction when the pill dispensing system is not actuated, and the pill receiving hole providing access to the hollow interior; \n wherein the open bottom end is aligned with the pill receiving hole when the pill dispensing system is not actuated, such that the pill receiving hole is configured to receive a pill, wherein the pill drops from the funnel into and is housed within the hollow interior; \n wherein the tube is removable from the tube holder by sliding the tube in a lengthwise direction away from the tube holder; \n means for causing a rotational movement of the tube holder, such that the rotational movement causes the pill receiving hole to face a downwards direction and thus dispense the pill housed within the hollow interior out of the pill dispensing system; such that the rotational movement causes the pill receiving hole to face a downwards direction and thus dispense the pill housed within the hollow interior out of the pill dispensing system; and a medication management platform accessible through an electronic device comprising at least a camera; the method comprising the steps of: receiving a set of written instructions related to a medication regimen using a first medication; accessing the medication management platform through the electronic device; using the at least a camera of the electronic device to read the set of written instructions; importing the medication regimen into a user record stored within a medication management platform database; sending the medication regimen to the pill dispensing system; providing a user with the plurality of tubes, each tube of the plurality of tubes having a unique pill receiving hole; receiving directions from the medication management platform for selection of a tube of the plurality of tubes, wherein the pill receiving hole of the selected tube matches a size of a pill of the first medication; inserting the selected tube into the tube holder; and actuating the pill dispensing system after a notification is sent to the user via the medication management platform; dispensing the pill out of the pill dispensing system.
