The subject technology provides at least a system and method for accessing a medication based on near-field communication (NFC). An NFC connection is established between a medical device and NFC circuitry associated with a user separate from the medical device and, based on information obtained from the NFC connection, pairing information for a mobile device to connect to the medical device is determined. A short range wireless connection is automatically established between the medical device and the mobile device associated with the user based on the determined pairing information, and a request for access to a medication provided by the medical device is sent from the mobile device to the medical device via the short range wireless connection.

Mobile system for dispensing medication

Disclosed are systems and methods for managing secure refrigerated bin systems. A system receives a request to access a respective compartment of a plurality of compartments in a dispensing device. Responsive to receiving the access request-and identifying one or more medications in the respective compartment, a safe temperature range specific to the identified one or more medications is determined, and a temperature of the respective compartment is determined using a respective temperature sensor of the respective compartment. The system determines whether the determined temperature of the respective compartment is within the safe temperature range of the identified one or more medications causes an alert to be displayed when the determined temperature of the respective compartment is outside of the safe temperature range of the identified one or more medications.

Secure refrigerated bin systems

A method includes providing, on a computing device, when a user of the device is authorized, a user interface including respective representations of first medication administration functions and second medication administration functions associated with storage of the one or more medications and, in response to determining that the computing device is within the first predetermined area, enabling the computing device to perform the one or more first medication administration functions associated with the first predetermined area to cause, responsive to a selection of a displayed representation of the one or more first medication administration functions, a respective electronic medication storage cabinet associated with the selected displayed representation to perform an operation regarding a physical storage of a medication associated with a patient of the one or more patients, and preventing the computing device from performing the one or more second medication administration functions not associated with the first predetermined area.

Systems and methods for dispensing medications based on proximity to an electronic medication storage cabinet

Disclosed are systems and methods for providing secure refrigerated bin systems. A method includes receiving, from a medication dispensing console via a communication interface, an access command for a selected compartment of a plurality of compartments, each for storing one or more medicines, wherein at least one of the plurality of compartments is lockable. The method also includes identifying, responsive to receiving the access command, one or more medications in the selected compartment, determining a safe temperature range of the identified one or more medications, determining, responsive to the received access command, a condition of the selected compartment based on whether sensor data recorded by one or more sensors conforms to one or more parameters including the safe temperature range, and setting, based on the determined condition, an access state of at least one of the selected compartment and a lockable door controlling access to the plurality of compartments.

The subject technology provides at least a method of medication management. The subject technology receives, at a mobile device via a network interface, information regarding a medication order from a server. The subject technology sends, with the mobile device via a short range wireless interface, an indication of the medication order to a medication dispensing device, the indication causing the medication dispensing device to provide access to a medication corresponding to the medication order. Further, the subject technology sends, with the mobile device via the network interface, dispense information to the server, the dispense information corresponding to the medication provided by the medication dispensing device.
