WEARABLE MEDICATION ADHERENCE MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a first motion signal segment sensed by a motion sensor worn on a user'"'"'s wrist or forearm;
detecting the user performed a first action based on the first motion signal segment;
obtaining a second motion signal segment sensed by the motion sensor, wherein the second motion signal segment was sensed by the motion sensor after the first motion signal segment;
detecting the user performed a second action based on the second motion signal segment and in response to the detection of the first action;
determining that a first medication was taken by the user based on the detection of the second action; and
in response to the determination that the first medication was taken by the user, causing presentation of an indication to the user or transmitting an indication to an external device that the first medication was taken by the user.

Abstract
A method including obtaining a first motion signal segment sensed by a motion sensor worn on a user'"'"'s wrist or forearm; detecting the user performed a first action based on the first motion signal segment; obtaining a second motion signal segment sensed by the motion sensor, wherein the second motion signal segment was sensed by the motion sensor after the first motion signal segment; detecting the user performed a second action based on the second motion signal segment and in response to the detection of the first action; determining that a first medication was taken by the user based on the detection of the second action; and, in response to the determination that the first medication was taken by the user, causing presentation of an indication to the user or transmitting an indication to an external device that the first medication was taken by the user.

17. A system for medication adherence monitoring, the system comprising:
-
a housing configured to be worn on a user'"'"'s wrist or forearm; a motion sensor mounted within the housing; one or more processors each configured to execute instructions; and one or more nontransitory storage mediums configured to provide stored instructions to the one or more processors which cause the one or more processors to; obtain a first motion signal segment sensed by the motion sensor; detect the user performed a first action based on the first motion signal segment; obtain a second motion signal segment sensed by the motion sensor, wherein the second motion signal segment was sensed by the motion sensor after the first motion signal segment; detect the user performed a second action based on the second motion signal segment and in response to the detection of the first action; determine that a first medication was taken by the user based on the detection of the second action; and cause presentation of an indication to the user or transmit an indication to an external device that the first medication was taken by the user in response to the determination that the first medication was taken by the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A nontransitory computer readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
obtain a first motion signal segment sensed by a motion sensor worn on a user'"'"'s wrist or forearm; detect the user performed a first action based on the first motion signal segment; obtain a second motion signal segment sensed by the motion sensor, wherein the second motion signal segment was sensed by the motion sensor after the first motion signal segment; detect the user performed a second action based on the second motion signal segment and in response to the detection of the first action; determine that a first medication was taken by the user based on the detection of the second action; and in response to the determination that the first medication was taken by the user, cause presentation of an indication to the user or transmitting an indication to an external device that the first medication was taken by the user. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
