Smart cap for a container to track and dispense a medication while self-verifying and counting units thereof, alerting and instructing a consumer on timing and cautions
First Claim
1. A smart cap for a container dispensing a medication and for automatically self-verifying the medication once said smart cap has been automatically programmed for the medication so as to prevent improper dispensing of the medication, the smart cap comprising:
- a) a first circuitry;
b) a second circuitry;
c) a third circuitry; and
d) a first display;
wherein said first circuitry is disposed within said smart cap;
wherein said second circuitry automatically programs said first circuitry for the medication;
wherein said third circuitry is accessible within said smart cap;
wherein said third circuitry is in electrical communication with said first circuitry;
wherein said third circuitry is for automatically scanning at least an obverse side and a reverse side of the medication so as to provide a medication signal;
wherein said medication signal is sent from said third circuitry to said first circuitry for automatically self-verifying the medication once said first circuitry has been automatically programmed by said second circuitry for the medication so as to provide a verification signal;
wherein said first display is visible on said smart cap;
wherein said first display is in electrical communication with said first circuitry; and
wherein said first display receives said verification signal from said first circuitry so as to prevent the improper dispensing of the medication.
