Abstract
A device and method records and identifies a medication that is to be introduced into a body by generating an image of the medication. The image of the medication is converted to image data of the medication that comprises a format for comparison with medication identification data stored in a database. Time-stamp data is generated and associated with the image data of the medication. The image data of the medication and associated time-stamp data are stored. The medication is identified by comparing one or more medication-identification parameters stored in the database with the image data of the medication.
