holding, in the graphical user-interface, the movable depiction of the first medication container in the depiction of the medicine cabinet at the first correct location where the movable depiction of the first medication container was dragged;
receiving second patient input moving a movable depiction of a second medication container from among the movable depictions of medication containers to an incorrect second location of the depiction of the medicine cabinet; and
popping, in the graphical user-interface, the movable depiction of the second medication container back out of the depiction of the medicine cabinet from the incorrect second location where the movable depiction of the second medication container was dragged, wherein the moveable depictions of the medication containers are stylized to have human characterisitics.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 wherein
the medications have corresponding frequencies of administration;
the depiction of the medicine cabinet has columns that correspond to frequency of administration; and
the first location is correct because, in addition to the medication category of the first location matching the medication category of the first medication container, a frequency of administration of the first location also matches a frequency of administration of the first medication container.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein
the medications have corresponding dosing characteristics;
the depiction of the medicine cabinet has columns that correspond to dosing characteristics; and
the first location is correct because, in addition to the medication category of the first location matching the medication category of the first medication container, a dosing characteristic of the first location also matches a dosing characteristic of the first medication container.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the instructions when executed by the data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations further comprising:
adding credit to an incentive program for the patient in response to the receiving the first patient input, wherein the credit can be redeemed for a prize.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein human stylized movable medication container depictions are of bottles having labels depicting prescription data for the medications and the stylized human characteristics include an indicator corresponding to the category.
11. A system comprising:
a data storage device for storing medication data received from multiple sources over one or more networks;
a computing system including processor electronics configured to perform operations comprising:
displaying, in a graphical user-interface, movable depictions of medication containers for medications in an interactive list of medications for a patient, each medication container having a corresponding medication category;
displaying, in the graphical user-interface, a depiction of a medicine cabinet for organizing the medications, wherein the depiction of the medicine cabinet comprises multiple shelves that have corresponding medication categories, each of the shelves configured to hold one or more of the movable depictions of medication containers; and
receiving first patient input moving a movable depiction of a first medication container from among the movable depictions of medication containers to a correct first location of the depiction of the medicine cabinet, wherein the first location is correct because a medication category of the first location matches a medication category associated with the first medication container;
