Apparatus and Method for Recognition of Medication Administration Indicator

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program causing a computing device to perform the steps of:

• providing one or more instructions on a display of a computing device instructing placement of a medication injection pen apparatus including one or more characters displayed as an indication of a titration level of medication to be injected by the medication injection pen, the titration level being selectable by a user;
• imaging by an image capture device of the computing device one or more images of the medication injection pen including the indication of the titration level selected by the user;
• comparing by a processor of the computing device through recognition of the displayed characters by the processor, the indicated titration level to a predetermined amount;
• and
• providing one or more additional instructions on the display of the computing device to change the indicated titration level if it is determined that the indicated titration level does not match the predetermined amount.

The recording medium of clam 15, further comprising the steps of:

• providing one or more instructions on the display of the computing device instructing placement of a medical device including one or more characters displayed as an measured value output from the medical device;
• imaging by the image capture device of the computing device one or more images of the displayed characters by the medical device to determine the measured value output from the medical device;
• and
• determining the predetermined amount in accordance with the determined measure output value from the medical device.

A system for confirming proper medication amount for a medication injection apparatus, comprising:

• a display on a computing device for providing one or more instructions instructing placement of an injectable medication apparatus including an indication of an amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus;
• an image capture device of the computing device for capturing one or more images of the injectable medication apparatus including the indication of the amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus;
• a processor of the computing device for comparing through recognition of the indication of the amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus imaged by the image capture device, the indicated amount to a predetermined amount;
• and
• wherein the display further provides one or more additional instructions on the display of the computing device to change the indication of the amount of medication to be injected by the injectable medication apparatus if it is determined that the recognized indicated amount does not match the predetermined amount, and further provides one or more instructions instructing administration of the medication if it is determined that the recognized indicated amount matches the predetermined amount.
