Systems, methods, and devices for dispensing one or more substances
First Claim
1. A secure dispensing device with biofeedback, the secure dispensing device comprising:
- a housing that includes an access compartment with a controlled substance, the controlled substance including a first amount of the controlled substance to be dispensed;
an exit path that includes an opening that is sized for the controlled substance to be released outside of the access compartment;
a regulator that releases the controlled substance from within the housing;
an authentication receiver configured to determine if a biometric identifier is associated with the secure dispensing device, the authentication receiver configured to authenticate a user with a plurality of authentication inputs, at least one authentication input of the plurality of authentication inputs being the biometric identifier; and
a controller configured to receive prescription bioinformation about the user from an external source and process the prescription bioinformation to determine a second amount of the controlled substance to be dispensed, the first amount and the second amount of the controlled substance to be dispensed being different, and the controller configured to change access rights of one or more users based at least in part on the prescription bioinformation.

Abstract
A secure dispensing device uses biofeedback to control release of a controlled substance. The secure dispensing device includes a housing with an access compartment that holds a controlled substance, the controlled substance including a first amount of the controlled substance to be dispensed according to one or more initial dispensation parameters; a controller that receives prescription bioinformation about a user and processes the prescription bioinformation to determine an adjusted dispensation parameter for the controlled substance to be dispensed, the initial dispensation parameter and the adjusted dispensation parameter of the controlled substance to be dispensed being different; a regulator that releases the controlled substance from within the housing; and an exit path with an opening that is sized for the controlled substance to be released outside of the access compartment.

9. A method of dispensing one or more controlled substances housed within a secure dispensing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving prescription bioinformation about a user from an I/O module; comparing the received prescription bioinformation with stored prescription information regarding the one or more controlled substances to produce a relative dispensation parameter; changing an initial dispensation parameter of the one or more controlled substances to an adjusted dispensation parameter of the one or more controlled substances based on the relative dispensation parameter, the initial dispensation parameter and adjusted dispensation parameter being different; changing access rights to the one or more controlled substances for one or more users based at least in part on the relative dispensation parameter; and releasing a prescription of the one or more controlled substances according to the adjusted dispensation parameter. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A secure dispensing device with biofeedback, the secure dispensing device comprising:
-
a housing that includes an access compartment configured to hold one or more controlled substances; an exit path that includes an opening that is sized for the one or more controlled substances to be released outside of the access compartment; a regulator configured to release the one or more controlled substances from within the housing; and a controller configured to receive prescription bioinformation about a user from an external source and process the prescription bioinformation to determine a prescription to release, wherein if the secure dispensing device does not contain a controlled substance from the prescription, the secure dispensing device notifies the user, wherein the controller is configured to change access rights of one or more users based at least in part on the prescription bioinformation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
