Title: Shijia Pan and Vibration-Based Medication Interaction Recognition

Introduction

Shijia Pan is an inventor associated with Merced, California, and the University of California. His work includes a patent for a vibration-based system designed to recognize medication containers and support medication-intake monitoring.

Latest Patents

Pan’s listed patent is “System and Method for Vibration-Based Medication Interaction Recognition.” The invention uses a kinetic augmentation attachment coupled to a medication container. A spring and weight in the attachment produce distinct vibration signatures when the container is placed on a surface. A vibration sensor detects the signals, and a computing device analyzes their features to identify the container.

The method applies frequency analysis and machine learning to distinguish medication containers by their kinetic signatures. Because the attachment does not require batteries, the system is designed for long-term, maintenance-free monitoring. Pan is listed as having 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Pan’s patent reflects an approach to medication monitoring that uses motion and vibration rather than battery-powered tracking hardware. His work is associated with the University of California.

Collaborations

Pan’s listed coworkers include Yue Zhang and Dong Yoon Lee. Their names are provided as collaborators in the supplied information.

Conclusion

Shijia Pan’s patented system combines vibration sensing and machine learning to identify medication containers, offering a battery-free approach to long-term medication monitoring.
