A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes compartments for storing respective medications. The medication tray may include a boundary wall defining a boundary outline of the medication tray, and the medication tray may have a tray identifier associated therewith. The medication inventory system may also include a user device that includes a housing, a camera carried by the housing, a display carried by the housing, and a controller coupled to the camera and the display. The controller may generate on the display a bounding box overlay image on a live image from the camera of the medication tray, capture an image from the camera when the bounding box overlay image is aligned relative to the boundary outline of the medication tray. The controller may also generate a current medication stocking list of the medication tray based upon the captured image and the tray identifier.

Medication inventory system including bounding box image capture and related methods

A medication tray may include a boundary wall defining a boundary outline. Markers may be carried by the boundary wall. A mobile device may obtain a first image of the medication tray, and determine a number of the markers from the first image. When the number equals or exceeds a threshold, an edge detection algorithm may be applied to the first image to identify the boundary outline based upon the markers, and generate a stocking list of the tray based upon the outline. When the determined number does not exceed the threshold, the device may obtain a second image of the tray, and determine an updated number of the markers from the first and second images. When the updated number equals or exceeds the threshold, the algorithm may be applied to the images to identify the outline based upon the markers, and generate the stocking list based upon the outline.

Medication inventory system including image based boundary determination for generating a medication tray stocking list and related methods

A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes compartments for storing respective medications. The medication tray may have a tray identifier associated therewith. The system may also include a mobile wireless communications device configured to obtain at least one image of the medication tray, and apply a Hough line detection algorithm to the at least one image to determine a boundary outline of the medication tray. The mobile wireless communications device may also be configured to generate a current medication stocking list of the medication tray based upon the boundary outline and the tray identifier from the at least one image.

Medication inventory system including boundary outline based medication tray stocking list and related methods

A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes compartments for storing respective medications with each medication having a respective medication identifier associated therewith. The medication tray may have a tray identifier associated therewith. The medication inventory system may also include a mobile wireless communications device configured to obtain images of the medication tray and generate a current medication stocking list of the medication tray from the images. The medication inventory system may also be configured to determine a desired medication stocking list for the medication tray based upon the tray identifier and determine at least one missing medication based upon the current medication stocking list and the desired medication stocking list.
