determine a first probability that the received motion data corresponds to a first motion profile for a no dose event;

determine a second probability that the received motion data corresponds to a second motion profile for proper dispensement of the medication;

determine that the received motion profile corresponds to a valid dose based on the first probability and the second probability, wherein the received motion profile is determined to correspond to a valid dose when the second probability is greater than the first probability or when a ratio of the first probability to the second probability is less than a threshold value,
