METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED WEIGHT-BASED MEDICATION DOSE PREPARATION

Various embodiments herein relate to a method and system for automated weight-based medication dose preparation. In at least one embodiment, the system comprises: a weight measuring device comprising: a measuring strip configured to be applied around a patient's limb, the measuring strip movable between an unmounted position and a mounted position; a primary measurement sensor for monitoring movement of the measuring strip into the mounted position; and a device processor coupled to the primary measurement sensor, the device processor operable to: determine, based on data received from the primary measurement sensor, a limb circumference; estimate a patient weight based on the limb circumference; transmit the patient weight to a computing terminal; the computing terminal comprising a computing processor operable to: determine, based on the patient weight and patient-specific data, one or more dosage parameters for a given medication type; and output the one or more dosage parameters.
