Abstract: A method for non-invasive detection of ingested medication which provide for one or more processors to receive images of medications designated for a user prior to ingestion of the medications by the user. The one or more processors capture an ultrasound image during ingestion by the user by an ultrasound device removably adhered to a throat area of the user. The one or more processors determine whether contents of the ingestion by the user includes one or more of the medications designated for the user, and responsive to determining the contents of the ingestion by the user includes one or more of the medications designated for the user, the one or more processors generate a confirmation that includes identification of the detected medications ingested by the user.
