Apparatus and method for recognition of medication administration indicator
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program causing a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- providing one or more first set of instructions on a display of the computing device instructing placement of an injectable medication apparatus including an indication of an amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus;
imaging by an image capture device of the computing device one or more images of the injectable medication apparatus in a first state indicating an amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus;
comparing, through recognition of the indicated amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus imaged by the image capture device, the indicated amount to a predetermined amount;
providing one or more second set of instructions on the display of the computing device to change the indicated amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus if it is determined that the recognized indicated amount does not match the predetermined amount;
providing one or more third set of instructions on the display of the computing device instructing placement of the injectable medication apparatus adjacent a particular body part into which the medication is to be injected;
imaging by the image capture device of the computing device one or more images of operation of the injectable medication apparatus; and
in response to the imaging the one or more images of operation of the injectable medication apparatus, determining from the one or more images of operation, that the injectable medication apparatus has been properly operated to administer the medication and that the injectable medication apparatus is in a second state indicating post-administration.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program for confirming proper medication amount for a medication injection apparatus. The computer program causes a computer to perform the steps of providing one or more instructions on a display of a computing device instructing placement of an injectable medication apparatus including an indication of an amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus, imaging by an image capture one or more images of the injectable medication apparatus including the indication of the amount of medication, and comparing by a processor of the computing device through recognition of the indication of the amount of medication, the indicated amount to a predetermined amount. One or more additional instructions may be provided on the display of the computing device to change the indication of the amount of medication if it is determined that the recognized indicated amount does not match the predetermined amount.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program causing a computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
providing one or more first set of instructions on a display of the computing device instructing placement of a medication injection pen apparatus including one or more characters displayed as an indication of a titration level of medication to be injected by the medication injection pen, the titration level being selectable by a user; imaging by an image capture device of the computing device one or more images of the medication injection pen apparatus in a first state indicating the titration level selected by the user;
comparing, through recognition of the displayed characters, the indicated titration level to a predetermined amount;responsive to determining that the indicated titration level does not match the predetermined amount, providing one or more second set of instructions on the display of the computing device to change the indicated titration level; providing one or more third set of instructions on the display of the computing device instructing placement of the medication injection pen apparatus adjacent a particular body part into which the medication is to be injected; imaging by the image capture device of the computing device one or more images of operation of the medication injection pen apparatus; and in response to the imaging the one or more images of operation, determining, from the one or more images of operation, that the medication injection pen apparatus has been properly operated to administer the medication and that the medication injection pen apparatus is in a second state indicating post-administration. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for confirming proper medication amount for a medication injection apparatus, the system comprising:
-
a display on a computing device for providing one or more first set of instructions instructing placement of an injectable medication apparatus including an indication of an amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus; an image capture device of the computing device for capturing one or more images of the injectable medication apparatus in a first state indicating the amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus; and a first processor of the computing device operable to output the one or more instructions to the display and to compare, through recognition of the indicated amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus imaged by the image capture device, the indicated amount to a predetermined amount, wherein the first processor is further operable to output to the display one or more second set of instructions to change the indication of the amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus responsive to determining that the recognized indicated amount does not match the predetermined amount, wherein the first processor is further operable to output to the display one or more third set of instructions instructing administration of the medication responsive to determining that the recognized indicated amount matches the predetermined amount, wherein the first processor is further operable to output to the display one or more fourth set of instructions instructing placement of the injectable medication apparatus adjacent a particular body part into which the medication is to be injected, wherein the image capture device is operable to image one or more images of operation of the injectable medication apparatus, and wherein in response to the imaging the one or more images of operation by the image capture device, the first processor of the computing device is further operable to determine, from the one or more images of operation, that the injectable medication apparatus has been properly operated to administer the medication and that the injectable medication apparatus is in a second state indicating post-administration. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
