Abstract
A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes partitions defining compartments and having a tray identifier associated therewith, and each compartment may store a respective medication. The system may include an imaging apparatus, and a processor and an associated memory cooperating with the imaging apparatus to determine the tray identifier of the medication tray, and maintain in the memory a desired respective medication within each compartment based upon the tray identifier. A respective medication image of the medication within each compartment may be obtained and machine learning may be used to determine a medication within each compartment based upon the respective medication image. A discrepancy may be determined between the determined medication within each compartment and the desired respective medication within each compartment, and when so, a display notification may be generated that includes a visual indicator corresponding to each compartment determined to have the discrepancy.
