Tracking device and method

A tracking device for tracking the ingestion of a plurality of doses of an ingestible material from a container, the tracking device comprising:

• a time indicating sheet having a top surface;
• a plurality of time indicating indicia imprinted on the top surface, each of the plurality of time indicating indicia being spacially separated from each other on the top surface and being adapted to indicate a time period;
• a means for associating the time indicating sheet with the container of the ingestible material;
• an ingestion tracking strip having an upper surface and a lower surface;
• a plurality of weakened portions through the ingestion tracking strip that function to separate the ingestion tracking strip into a plurality of dose indicators;
• a means for visibly indicating a direction of orientation visible on each of the plurality of dose indicators;
• a plurality of dose identifying indicia, each of the plurality of dose identifying indicia being imprinted upon one of the plurality of dose indicators;
• a means for removably associating the ingestion tracking strip with the container;
• and
• a means for attaching each of the plurality of dose indicators, in turn, to the top surface of the time indicating sheet such that the means for visibly indicating a direction of orientation visibly indicates a direction of orientation that is associated with one of the plurality of time indicating indicia.

A method for tracking the ingestion of a plurality of doses of an ingestible material from a container, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a tracking device comprising:
• a time indicating sheet having a top surface;
• a plurality of time indicating indicia imprinted on the top surface, each of the plurality of time indicating indicia being spacially separated from each other on the top surface and being adapted to indicate a time period;
• a plurality of dose indicators, each of the plurality of dose indicators having one of a plurality of dose identifying indicia;
• and
• a means for visibly indicating a direction of orientation;
• b) attaching the time indicating sheet to the container;
• and
• c) attaching one of the plurality of dose indicators, following the ingestion of each of the plurality of doses, to the top surface of the time indicating sheet such that the means for visibly indicating a direction of orientation visibly indicates a direction of orientation that is associated with one of the plurality of time indicating indicia.
