A patient-side medical device comprising:
- a. a dispensing area comprising a plurality of drawers adapted to receive or dispense one or more medications, wherein the plurality of drawers is configured to allow dispensing to be remotely controlled or monitored by a medical professional;
- b. a rotating wheel mechanism configured to funnel the one or more medications by gravity from the rotating wheel mechanism via a chute;
- c. a verification area configured to receive the one or more medications after the one or more medications is dropped from the chute and before the one or more medications can move into the dispensing area;
- wherein the verification area comprises a camera sensor configured to verify the identity of the one or more medications based on an image of the one or more medications, wherein the verification area is configured to verify the one or more medications prior to allowing the one or more medications to travel to the dispensing area;
- wherein the camera sensor is embedded within and operably coupled to the patient-side medical device;
- and
- wherein the camera sensor is controlled by a processor natively embedded in the patient-side medical device;
- d. at least one visual display, wherein at least one of the at least one visual display is configured to allow communication with the medical professional;
- e. at least one biometric sensor for acquiring biometric data of a subject;
- and
- f. a processor configured to change, based at least in part on a patient vital sign measurement changing over time:
- i. a medication dispensing schedule;
- ii. the one or more medications;
- or
- iii. a dosage of the one or more medications,
- wherein the patient-side medical device is configured to collect the patient vital sign measurement over time.
