SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDICATION TO A USER
A system and method for providing medication to a user. A determination is made that the medication is required for the user in response to a schedule for medication or status of the user. The medication is loaded into a container that is loaded onto a drone. The drone is navigated from a management facility to a lockbox associated with a residence of the user. The container is delivered from the drone to the user.
1 . A method for providing medication to a user, comprising:
determining the medication is required for the user in response to a schedule for medication or status of the user;
loading the medication into a container that is loaded onto a drone;
navigating the drone from a management facility to a lockbox associated with a residence of the user; and
delivering the container from the drone to the user.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sensing one or more biometrics associated with the user in the residence; and
determining the status of the user in response to sensing the one or more biometrics.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
communicating one or more questions to the user;
receiving one or more answers to the one or more questions communicated to the user; and
determining the status of the user in response to one or more of the answers.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
navigating the drone back to the management facility to be recharged and loaded with another medication.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the drone navigates obstacles between the management facility and the residence of the user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the management facility and the location of the user utilize a retractable pad for accessing the drone or container.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the container is delivered to a lockbox of the residence securing the container and the medication.
8 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
unlocking the lockbox utilizing a plurality of biometrics associated with the user.
9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein a robotic system unloads the container from the drone and loads it in the lockbox.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically delivering medication to the user in response to one or more biometrics or one or more answers from the user.
11 . A system for providing medication to a user, comprising:
a plurality of sensors sensing one or more biometrics of a user;
a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors automatically determines medication is required for the user in response to a schedule for medication or status of the user; and
a drone in communication with the controller receives the medication in a container from a management facility, wherein the drone navigates from the management facility to a location associated with a user and delivers the container to the location of the user.
12 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a transceiver in communication with the controller communicating with the drone.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of sensors include at least a sensor at the location of the user and a wearable sensor associated with the user.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the status of the user is determined in response to answers received from the user to one or more questions.
15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein drone delivers the container to a lockbox associated with the location of the user, wherein one or more biometrics from the user are required to access the lockbox.
16 . A system for managing medication delivery, comprising:
a drone configured to deliver medication between a facility and a location of a user;
a server including a processor for executing a set of instructions, and
a memory for storing the set of instructions, wherein the instructions are executed to determine the medication is required for the user in response to a schedule for medication or status of the user, manage the loading of the medication into a container that is loaded onto the drone, send a command for the drone to deliver the medication from the facility to the location of the user.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the drone docks with a lock box at the location for securely delivering the medication.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the lock bock is unlocked utilizing a plurality of biometrics associated with the user.
19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the server communicates with the drone utilizing a transceiver in communication with the processor, wherein the drone automatically delivers medication to the location of the user in response to the schedule for medication or the status of the user.
20 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the set of instructions are further executed to: receive one or more biometrics associated with a user in a residence where the user resides, and determine a status of the user in response to sensing one or more biometrics of the user.
