Systems and methods for intelligent vaporizers

Abstract

A vaporization and inhalation apparatus comprising a cartridge container configured to receive a cartridge including a liquid. The apparatus includes a heating element configured to heat the liquid to a point of vaporization to generate a vaporized form of the liquid. The apparatus also includes an outlet port through which the vaporized form of the liquid is inhaled. There is also a system for medical dispensing, management and monitoring. According to one aspect, a remote medical management environment can include a medical management system intermediary to a plurality of patients and a plurality of medical care providers. The medical management system can communicate with medical dispensing devices configured to dispense medication to patients. The remote medical management environment can allow medical care providers, such as doctors, the ability to remotely manage and administer medications to patients, while at the same time, avoid accidental medicinal drug use and abuse by patients.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0016]In some implementations, the medical dispensing device can include a temperature control module to control the temperature of medication within the medical dispensing device. In this way, if the medicine in the medical dispensing device is to be maintained at a particular temperature, and the medical dispensing device is in a location that has an ambient temperature much higher than the temperature at which to maintain the medicine, the medical dispensing device can provide cooling to the medication. Conversely, the medical dispensing device can provide heating to medications that are supposed to be stored or maintained at temperatures higher than the ambient temperature at which the medical dispensing device is located.

[0017]In some implementations, the medical dispensing device can be a programmable, remotely controlled prescription drug bottle. The medical dispensing device may include Bluetooth, RFID, GPS, a battery, a controller, a cellular chip, etc. The medical dispensing device could dispense pills, liquid, powder, any vaporizable substance, collectively, respectively, and independently. The medical dispensing device can be configured to provide the ability to remotely regulate, monitor, control and/or verify dosage. In this way, a medical care provider can regulate or control the number of pills dispensed, the time at which they are dispensed and the location at which they can be dispensed, among others. For instance, if the pills can only be dispensed within a particular geographic location identifiable via cellular triangulation techniques, IP addressing, or GPS coordinates, the risk of drug abuse, theft, resale, and redistribution can be minimized. In some implementations, the medical dispensing device can be configured to only dispense medications when it is within a few feet from a stationary object, such as a RFID scanner or Bluetooth source that may be tied to a particular location.
