DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DETECTING DOSAGE ADMINISTRATION

Abstract:

Systems and methods for detecting administration of a dose of a medicament are described. A medicament dispensing system may include a cap sensor to detect removal of a cap from a container holding a medicament, an orientation sensor to detect an orientation of the container, and a force sensor to detect application of forces to the container. The system may determine that a dose has been administered based on detection of, in order, removal of the cap, movement of the container to an administration orientation, and application of a force to the container greater than a threshold force.
