Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices for facilitating dispensing of medications

An apparatus for facilitating dispensing of medications, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing comprising a housing base wall and a housing side wall peripherally extending from the housing base wall defining an interior space, wherein the housing side wall comprises at least one opening leading into the interior space, wherein the housing side wall comprises a top end and a bottom end, wherein the bottom end of the housing side wall is peripherally attached to the housing base wall, wherein the top end defines the at least one opening;
• a cover configured to be coupled with the housing for closing the at least one opening, wherein at least one of the housing and the cover is transitionable between at least one dispensing state and at least one non-dispensing state, wherein the cover is configured to be removably coupled with the housing for removably closing the at least one opening, wherein the cover closes the at least one opening in the at least one non-dispensing state, wherein the cover does not close the at least one opening in the at least one dispensing state;
• at least one medication holder disposed in the interior space, wherein each of the at least one medication holder holds at least one medication, wherein the at least one medication held by the at least one medication holder is dispensable through the at least one opening in the at least one dispensing state, wherein the at least one medication held by the at least one medication holder is not dispensable through the at least one opening in the at least one non-dispensing state;
• a holder driving element disposed in the interior space, wherein each of the at least one medication holder comprises a coupling element for movably coupling each of the at least one medication holder with the holder driving element using the coupling element;
• and
• at least one actuator disposed in the interior space, wherein the at least one actuator is operatively coupled with the holder driving element, wherein the at least one actuator is configured for transitioning the holder driving element between a plurality of positions based on at least one dispensing information, wherein the transitioning of the holder driving element moves the at least one medication holder between at least one non-dispensable position and at least one dispensable position, wherein the at least one medication held by the at least one medication holder is accessible for dispensing in the at least one dispensable position, wherein the at least one medication held by the at least one medication holder is not accessible for the dispensing in the at least one non-dispensable position.
