Abstract

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, device, and storage medium including one or more of the following: receiving location information and expiration information; determining a current location of the mobile device; determining that the medicament device is within a predetermined distance from the mobile device; determining that the medicament device is currently associated with an expiration event; outputting an expiration alarm indicating the expiration event in response to determining that the medicament device is within a predetermined distance from the mobile device and that the medicament device is currently associated with an expiration event; receiving, from the user, a request to display a map of a geographic area; displaying, by the mobile device and via a non-operating system application, the map of the geographic area; and displaying an alert icon on the map, wherein the location of the icon on the map is based on the received location information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of displaying information on a user interface of a mobile device for tracking a medicament device, the method comprising:
executing, by the mobile device, a medicament tracking application the mobile device comprising processor in communication with machine-readable storage medium that stores the medicament tracking application, wherein executing the medicament tracking application configures the mobile device to perform operations comprising:
displaying an application navigation bar on the user interface of the mobile device, the application navigation bar comprising a how-to button and a tracker button;
responsive to receiving a selection of the how-to button from a user of the mobile device, accessing instruction data stored on the machine-readable storage medium;
displaying a how-to pane on the user interface based on the instruction data, the how-to pane comprising information regarding how to use the medicament device;
responsive to receiving a selection of the tracker button, displaying a tracking pane on the user interface, the tracking pane including a profiles button; and
responsive to receiving a selection of the profiles button:
accessing tracking data that is stored, by the medicament tracking application, in a memory accessible by the mobile device and that identifies a first tracked medicament device and a second tracked medicament device,
determining that the first tracked medicament device is associated with a user profile stored in the memory by the medicament tracking application and that the second tracked medicament device is not associated with the user profile, and
based on the determination, displaying information about the first tracked medicament device in the tracking pane.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding how to use the medicament device comprises an embedded video for instructing the user of the mobile device in administration of the medicament device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, displaying, responsive to accessing the instruction data, an information, pane on the user interface, the information pane comprising one or more of first safety information about the medicament device and second safety information regarding administration of the medicament device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying, in the tracking pane, a status button
that is selectable by a user of the mobile device and
configured for requesting a status of the medicament device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein requesting the status of the medicament device comprises requesting location information of the medicament device.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising displaying, in the tracking pane, a menu button to access a menu for reviewing, updating, or sharing allergen information for one or more users of the medicament device.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
accessing, responsive to receiving a selection of the status button from the user of the mobile device, location information stored on the machine-readable storage medium; and
displaying, based on the location information, a map of a geographic area in which the medicament device is located and displaying a marker on the displayed map, wherein the marker is indicative of a location of the medicament device.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
displaying a filter selector on the user interface, the filter selector allowing the user of the mobile device to select one or more profiles associated with one or more users of the medicament device; and
displaying, responsive to receiving a selection of one or more of the one or more profiles from the user of the mobile device, a medicament device list on the user interface, the medicament device list comprising a summary of tracked medicament devices associated with the selected one or more profiles.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device comprises the machine-readable storage medium.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is configured to communicate wirelessly with a server, the server comprising the machine-readable storage medium.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon a medicament tracking application comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a mobile device to:
display an application navigation bar on a user interface of the mobile device, the application navigation bar comprising a how-to button and a tracker button;
responsive to receiving a selection of the how-to button from a user of the mobile device, access instruction data stored on machine-readable storage medium;
display a how-to pane on the user interface based on the instruction data, the how-to pane comprising information regarding how to use a medicament device;
responsive to receiving a selection of the tracker button, display a tracking pane on the user interface, the tracking pane including a profiles button; and
responsive to receiving a selection of the profiles button:
accessing track data that is stored, by the medicament tracking application, in a memory accessible by the mobile device and that identifies a first tracked medicament device and a second tracked medicament device,
determine that the first tracked medicament device is associated with a user profile stored in the memory by the medicament tracking application and that the second tracked medicament device is not associated with the user profile, and

based on the determination, display information about the first tracked medicament device in the tracking pane.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the information regarding how to use the medicament device comprises an embedded video for instructing the user of the mobile device in administration of the medicament device.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , further having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, further cause the processor of the mobile device to:
display, in the tracking pane, a status button
that is selectable by a user of the mobile device and
configured for requesting a status of the medicament device.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, further cause the processor of the mobile device to:
access, responsive to receiving a selection of the status button from the user of the mobile device, location information stored on the machine-readable storage medium; and
display, based on the location information, a map of a geographic area in which the medicament device is located and display a marker on the displayed map, wherein the marker is indicative of a location of the medicament device.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14 , further having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, further cause the processor of the mobile device to:
display a filter selector on the user interface, the filter selector allowing the user of the mobile device to select one or more profiles associated with one or more users of the medicament device; and
display, responsive to receiving a selection of one or more of the one or more profiles from the user of the mobile device, a medicament device list on the user interface, the medicament device list comprising a summary of tracked medicament devices associated with the selected one or more profiles.

16. A mobile device for tracking a medicament device, the mobile device comprising:
a display device conf
