1. A method, comprising:
- establishing a communications link, via a short-range wireless protocol, between a mobile computing device and a case, the mobile computing device including a touchscreen, the case including a housing and an electronic circuit system, the housing configured to receive at least a portion of a medicament delivery device, the electronic circuit system including a radio;
receiving a first wireless signal from the radio to maintain the communications link, the first wireless signal being periodic;
transmitting to the radio a second wireless signal, the second wireless signal including instructions that, when received by the radio, cause the electronic circuit system to produce a first alarm, the first alarm including at least one of an audible output or a visual output;
receiving a third wireless signal from the radio, the third wireless signal associated with removal of the medicament delivery device from the housing;
producing a second alarm in response to the third wireless signal, the second alarm indicating that the medicament delivery device has been removed from the housing;
producing, via the touchscreen and in response to the third wireless signal, a prompt associated with a use instruction of the medicament delivery device;
receiving, in response to the prompt, a user input; and
transmitting via the touchscreen the use instruction in response to the user input.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a method includes establishing a communications link between a computing device and an adapter. The adapter is configured to receive at least a portion of a medicament delivery device. A wireless signal is received to maintain the communications link. A relative position between the computing device and the adapter is determined. An alarm is produced when the wireless signal is not received within a time period. The alarm is based on the relative position between the computing device and the adapter.
