Abstract: A medication dispensing system includes an automated dispensing device that includes cells with electronically activated locks. The device is configured to detect when medication counts in the cells fall below predetermined thresholds. The system further includes a plurality of first electronic devices that are associated with some of the cells and that have imagers. In response to any of the medication counts in the cells being below the predetermined threshold, the automated dispensing device is configured to automatically send a replenishment needed notification to the first electronic device associated with the cell. That first electronic device is configured to transmit a picture of a medication to a second electronic device. In response to a positive verification by a user of the second electronic device that the medication in the picture is the correct medication, the second electronic device is configured to transmit an unlock signal to the automated dispensing device.

Abstract: A method for testing a user interface (UI) includes obtaining a first state of the UI and setting a current position to specified location coordinates. The method includes determining whether the first state satisfies criteria for a goal and, if so, updating a collection of completed tests with a test distance and test data. The method includes, in response to the first state not satisfying the criteria: determining a set of potential user actions to be performed in the first state based on interactive elements of the UI; selecting and executing an action; and updating the test distance based on the current position and location coordinates of the element associated with the action. The method includes determining a shortest path to the goal in the UI based on the collection of completed tests. The method includes, based on the determined shortest path, automatically visually transforming a state of the UI.

Abstract: A method includes capturing, by an image-capturing device, a one or more images of at least a portion of a pharmacy workstation. The method also includes identifying, by a processor in communication with the image capturing device, objects of interest in a first image of the one or more images and classifying, by the processor, the detected objects of interest using a convolutional neural network associated with the processor. The method also includes identifying, by the processor, a boundary defining an opening of a container in a second image of the one or more images. The method also includes updating, by the processor, an objects in container list based on a determination that at least one of the classified objects passed the boundary.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical filling system for a high volume pharmacy is described. The system can include a spill detection subsystem and method. The system can include a cameras to take images that a processed to determine presence of a spilled pharmaceutical. A mirror portion is provided so that the camera can take images of the entire field of the filling area. The mirror portion can be a concave mirror that increases the field of view of the camera. A light panel can illuminate the field of view to allow the camera to take high speed images. A controller can receive a series of at least two images captured by the camera and determine whether an object in the captured images is a spilled pharmaceutical.

Abstract: A quality assurance system includes a mainframe deployment device in communication with a mainframe device with a codebase. The mainframe deployment device initializes a branch repository corresponding to a code region of the codebase, identifies, for a code element of the code region, a timestamp indicating a creation time and a user identifier indicating an owner, populates the branch repository with the code element based on the code region and the timestamp, applies a code security scan to the branch repository to identify and resolve a code security issue, and applies a code quality scan to the branch repository to identify a code quality issue in the code element, assign the code element to the user identifier based at least partially on the timestamp, and route the code element along with information regarding the code quality issue to correct the code quality issue in the code element.
