Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present embodiments may relate, inter alia, to technologies (eg, mobile, desktop or web applications) for enabling a user (eg, a medical patient or his or her parent or caretaker) to retrieve (ie, "pick up") one or more prescription products. According to certain aspects, a user may utilize the application to identify a new prescription or prescription refill and a location where the user will pick up the corresponding one or more prescription products. Identifying a pharmacy location may include identifying a specific pickup point (eg, a pharmacy counter, kiosk, or drop box) within a location (eg, a pharmacy or hospital) from which a user will pick up a prescription product.

[0019] A user may further utilize the techniques described herein to perform one or more tasks that may be necessary to retrieve a prescription product. For example, in some embodiments, a user may utilize the technology to provide identification, provide payment, specify one or more notifica...

Abstract

Systems and methods may be provided that may enable an individual to retrieve one or more prescription products (e.g., product refills) from a self-service retrieval location such as a counter, drive-thru, drop box, or kiosk. A unique-machine readable code may be associated with a particular medical prescription of a patient, the medical prescription corresponding to one or more prescription products. The unique machine-readable code may be transmitted to a computing device of the individual, who may scan the code at the retrieval location. Identification of the unique machine-readable code may result in dispensing of the one or more prescription products associated with the medical prescription.
