## Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing a third party access to interaction data of an article. An event detection system can be coupled to an article for a recipient. The event detection system can include a wireless communication interface and a sensor configured to detect at least one interaction event that occurs at the article. Interaction data related to the at least one interaction event can be generated that includes a user identifier of the recipient that is uniquely associated with an article identifier of the article. The interaction data can be transmitted through the wireless communication interface to an operating server for providing a third party access to the interaction data based on the inclusion of the user identifier and the article identifier with the interaction data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system comprising:
a deliverable article for a recipient, the article associated with an article identifier; and
an event detection system coupled to the article comprising:
a sensor configured to detect at least one interaction event that occurs at the article;
a wireless communication interface;
memory; and
a processor configured to:
generate interaction data related to the at least one interaction event, the interaction data including a user identifier of the recipient that is uniquely associated with the article identifier; and
transmit the interaction data through the wireless communication interface to an operating server for providing a third party access to the interaction data based on the inclusion of the user identifier and the article identifier with the interaction data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the event detection system is associated with a network identifier and the network identifier is included in the interaction data for authenticating the interaction data transmitted through the wireless communication interface to the operating server.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the network identifier is uniquely associated with the user identifier of the recipient.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the network identifier is uniquely associated with the user identifier upon coupling of the event detection system with the article.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the network identifier is provisioned to the event detection system after the event detection system is coupled with the article.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the network identifier is provisioned to the event detection system before the event detection system is coupled with the article.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the article is a medication dispenser delivered to the recipient and the third party is a doctor.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the interaction event includes measuring an amount of medication in the medication dispenser and the interaction data includes an indication of the amount of medication in the medication dispenser.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the interaction data is correlated with other medical information of the recipient based on the inclusion of the user identifier and the article identifier with the interaction data to create correlated medical data.

### Claim 10

A method comprising:
coupling an event detection system to an article for a recipient, the event detection system including a wireless communication interface and a sensor configured to detect at least one interaction event that occurs at the article;
generating interaction data related to the at least one interaction event, the interaction data including a user identifier of the recipient that is uniquely associated with an article identifier of the article; and
transmitting the interaction data through the wireless communication interface to an operating server for providing a third party access to the interaction data based on the inclusion of the user identifier and the article identifier with the interaction data.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the event detection system is associated with a network identifier and the network identifier is included in the interaction data for authenticating the interaction data transmitted through the wireless communication interface to the operating server.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the network identifier is uniquely associated with the user identifier of the recipient.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the network identifier is uniquely associated with the user identifier upon coupling of the event detection system with the article.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the network identifier is provisioned to the event detection system after the event detection system is coupled with the article.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the network identifier is provisioned to the event detection system before the event detection system is coupled with the article.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the article is a medication dispenser delivered to the recipient and the third party is a doctor.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the interaction event includes measuring an amount of medication in the medication dispenser and the interaction data includes an indication of the amount of medication in the medication dispenser.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the interaction data is correlated with other medical information of the recipient based on the inclusion of the user identifier and the article identifier with the interaction data to create correlated medical data.

### Claim 19

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
detect at least one interaction event that occurs at an article through a sensor included as part of an event detection system coupled to the article;
generate interaction data related to the at least one interaction event, the interaction data including a user identifier of a recipient of the article that is uniquely associated with an article identifier of the article;
transmit the interaction data through a wireless communication interface of the event detection system to an operating server for providing a third party access to the interaction data based on the inclusion of the user identifier and the article identifier with the interaction data.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the article is a medication dispenser delivered to the recipient and the third party is a doctor.
