1. A method comprising:
- securing an eye drop bottle within a jacket of a medication management device using a pressure mechanism;
generating, by the medication management device, tactile sensor data to enable detection of a touch of a tactile sensor by a user;
based on the tactile sensor data, activating, by the medication management device, a motion sensor to collect motion sensor data to enable detection of movement of the medication management device;
responsive to detecting movement of the medication management device within a certain amount of time,activating, by the medication management device, a drop sensor to collect drop data to enable detection of a release of a drop of liquid from the eye drop bottle; and
based on the drop data, sending, by the medication management device, data associated with the drop data to a medication adherence system.
