- placing a medical container comprising a Radio frequency (RF) component onto an electronic device, wherein said Radio Frequency (RF) component comprises medication data regarding a medication contained within the medical container and wherein said electronic device comprises;
(i) a locus for positioning the medical container, (ii) a measurement sensor for determining the weight of the medication, (iii) one or more processors configured to trigger and manage a reading of the measurement sensor to create measurement data regarding the amount of medication in the medical container, (iv) a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the measurement data and medication data (v) a RF reader/writer module configured to receive the medication data, and, optionally, at least one of the following;
an audio speaker or a light source;
creating measurement data regarding the amount of medication within the medical container;
transmitting the measurement data to a remote electronic device wherein the remote electronic device comprises;
(a) a wireless receiver configured to receive the measurement data;
(b) one or more processors configured to determine a medication schedule and activate a medication alert based at least in part on the measurement data and the medication data;
(c) a display;
(d) a wireless receiver configured to receive the medication data and, optionally, at least one of the following;
an audio speaker or a light source;
determining a medication schedule based at least in part on the measurement data and the medication data; and
activating the medication alert when the patient is required to take the medication as determined by the medication schedule, wherein the medication alert comprises activating at least one of the light source, the audio speaker, or component (c) on the remote electronic device and, optionally, activating at least one of the speaker or the light source on the electronic device.
