A data-enabled pharmaceutical container and methods for reminding at dose time, then tracking and communicating valid dose events and/or dose exception events are disclosed. Examples of dose exception events include, but are not limited to, missed doses, extra doses, early doses, and late doses. The data-enabled pharmaceutical container includes control electronics for processing and communicating information about valid dose events and/or dose exception events. For example, using a dose detection algorithm, a dose event is deemed valid based on (1) sensing the open state of the data-enabled pharmaceutical container (e.g., sensing that the closure is not present), (2) sensing a certain orientation or tilt of the data-enabled pharmaceutical container, and (3) sensing that the data-enabled pharmaceutical container is both opened and tilted simultaneously for a certain amount of time (e.g., a few seconds).
