Barcode scanning process can also be achieved by connecting the device to an external barcode scanner via one of the available communication ports of USB, Bluetooth or WiFi.Once the present invention device has entered into an Alert Mode, a series of electronic alert signals and messages are sent to remote operators, computing devices and mobile devices using various wireless communications methods including but not limited to Bluetooth, WiFi, 2G, 3G and 4G and 5G, and the like. There is a need for a pill dispenser, which is compact and manually operated, to deliver a single pill or plurality of pills from a blister pack to a collector.The present invention may further include the feature of a sensing mechanism to illuminate a light panel when the device is touched by a user.It is an object of the present invention to provide the ability for a user to insert and load sealed blister packs together with manual loaded pills simultaneously.It should be noted that references to âan,â âone,â or âvariousâ embodiments in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references contemplate more than one embodiment.The present invention relates to a medication dispenser configured to remind a user to take medication and dispense medication to a user, and provide a system for tracking medication compliance.
