MONITORING SYSTEM FOR MEDICATION COMPLIANCE

A method and system for monitoring compliance with medication regimens. The system is integrated onto the back or side of a medication dispensing package for monitoring and compliance tracking of medication regimens. The system includes a camera that is web enabled to upload photo and/or video content to a cloud based tracking database for analysis, tracking and further processing as desired. When a user approaches the medication box, the camera preferably captures an image of the pill package being dispensed and an image of the face of the person removing the pill package. This information is streamed to an algorithm/database housed in the cloud wherein the data is processed using predetermined rule sets. The rule sets may include a determination that the correct person took the medication via a facial recognition process, the time and day the medication was taken, the package dispense, etc.
