Abstract

A portable device inspects and identifies a pill or number of pills by analyzing the appearance of the pills. The device includes an imaging area and a digital camera for capturing an image of a batch of pills. The device includes a microprocessor and memory. A comprehensive reference pill database is stored in the memory. The pills are preferably identified by matching the appearance of each pill to a reference image or to related characteristics stored in the reference database. The device displays the relevant pill information. The reference pill database preferable also includes any other pill-related information that may be relevant to apatient, such a drug interaction information and special intake instructions. The device may also maintain patient database, including a historical record of pill identification sessions and prescription information.
