Abstract: The medication container includes a receptacle that has an inner space for holding medications. The cap assembly is coupled with the receptacle for retaining the medications in the inner space. The cap assembly includes at least one passage that can be selectively opened and closed and includes at least one medication sensor that is configured to detect any medications travelling through the passage and out of the receptacle in a contactless manner. A microprocessor is in electrical communication with the at least one medication sensor and with a memory. The microprocessor is configured to record data to the memory in response to the at least one medication sensor detecting a medication travelling through the passage. A wireless module is in electrical communication with the microprocessor for uploading the data to an external device.

Abstract: A method for controlling an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle for delivery of a medication package includes determining a thermal control period for the medication package. The method also includes identifying a delivery location corresponding to the medication package. The method also includes identifying at least one environmental characteristic of an environment that includes a delivery three-dimensional flight path between a starting location and the delivery location, wherein the at least one environmental characteristic indicates an actual weather value at the delivery location. The method also includes determining whether to deliver the medication package based on the thermal control period and the at least one environmental characteristic, using the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for prescription drug shipping selection are provided. The methods and systems include operations comprising: obtaining, by a server, activity data from a plurality of devices associated with a location, the activity data representing different types of activities that take place at the location over a threshold period of time; aggregating, by the server, the activity data to generate a location-based presence model for the location, the location-based presence model indicating likelihoods that a person is present at the location at a plurality of different time windows; and identifying, by the server, based on the location-based presence model, a time window for delivery of a perishable item to the location.

Abstract: Methods and systems for item delivery using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles are provided. The methods and systems include operations comprising: obtaining, by a distance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a package that includes a plurality of items, each item being associated with a target delivery destination; delivering, by the distance UAV, the package to a regional hub that includes a local UAV, the distance UAV being configured to travel a longer distance and carry more weight than the local UAV; retrieving, by the local UAV, a given item of the plurality of items from the package; determining, by the local UAV, the target delivery destination associated with the given item; and delivering, by the local UAV, the given item to the target delivery destination.

Abstract: The medication container includes a receptacle and a cap. The cap includes a gate that can be selectively opened to enable access to medications in the receptacle and closed to restrict access to medications in the receptacle. The gate has a locking mechanism that only unlocks to allow the gate to open from the closed position in response to an application of a downward force on a portion of the gate to resiliently deflect a portion of the gate. The cap further includes electronic components that are configured to monitor movement of medications through the cap and into and out of the receptacle, the electronic components including a memory that is configured to store data pertaining to such passages of medications.

Abstract: A method for controlling secure delivery of a medication package includes receiving a medication delivery request to deliver a medication package to a first delivery location. The method also includes identifying one or more authenticated delivery locations corresponding to a recipient and determining whether the one or more authenticated delivery locations includes the first delivery location and, in response to a determination that the one or more authenticated delivery locations includes the first delivery location, instructing an unmanned aerial vehicle to transport the medication package from a starting location to the first delivery location. The method also includes, in response to the unmanned aerial vehicle communicating authentication data, determining whether the authentication data corresponds to the recipient. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the authentication data corresponds to the recipient, instructing the unmanned aerial vehicle to release the medication package to the recipient.
