A system for monitoring compliance comprising:

• at least one processor;
• one or more data stores operatively connected to the processor;
• a network interface to transmitting requests and reports;
• and;
• memory operatively connected to the process and configured with instructions for causing the processor to execute the following steps:

• (b) confirming that the remaining pills are the same type as the prescription pills;
• (c) determining whether the number of the remaining pills corresponds with an expected number of remaining pills, the expected number of remaining pills being the initial number minus a calculated number of consumed pills based on the dosage taken between the initial date and the given date;
