Abstract
A system for verifying proper possession of a medication where a reader device scans a code printed on the medication to extract an embedded serial number. A first server queries a prescription database, which retrieves patient information associated with the embedded serial number. The patient information is returned to the reader device and a match determination is made. The patient information may include a name and photograph.
