A pill dispensing system is provided. The system includes a pill container having a base that houses a dispensing mechanism for dispensing a pill, a lid having a fingerprint reader, circuitry to read the fingerprint information of a patient, and drive a rotary motor. The pill container has a sleeve with sidewalls, a top opening, and a bottom opening. The sleeve, the lid, and the base engage with each other to retain pills inside the sleeve. The engagement is such that it creates child-resistant packaging to reduce the risk of children ingesting pills. The system includes a fingerprint information transfer medium equipped with a fingerprint scanner/reader. The fingerprint transfer medium records the patient's fingerprint and electronically transfers the recorded patient's fingerprint information to the pill container to link the patient's fingerprint to the pill container to allow the patient to authenticate and dispense the pills out of the pill container.
