Abstract
A device and method for recording medication to be introduced into a body.
Claims26
An apparatus, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to:
- generate an image of a medication to be introduced into a body and a hand holding the medication;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- determine identification of a person whose hand appears in the image of the medication and the hand;
- determine identification of the medication based on a comparison of the image of the medication with medication identification data, the medication identification data comprising one or more characteristics related to medications;
- determine whether the identified medication is intended for the identified person;
- and
- determine, in response to determining that the identified medication is intended for the identified person, whether introducing the identified medication into the body conforms to a recommended medication regime.
