MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621000558 A) filed by Ajay Ganesh Shinde; and Shubham Shashikant Bhosale, Maharashtra, on Jan. 3, for 'a system and a method for secure,audit-proof automated medicine dispensing ( liquid, semi-solid, solid dosage form) using electronic-prescription-machine state binding with narcotics dual verification and patient id authentication.'
Inventor(s) include Ajay Ganesh Shinde; and Shubham Shashikant Bhosale.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for secure automated regulated medicine dispensing through a closely integrated cyber-physical environment by employing a 'cyber-physical nexus' involving prescriptions that have been digitally signed without the possibility of editing (i.e., are immutable) that have been converted from digital to physical execution states such that they correlate directly with the physical operating parameters (i.e., available mechanical operating conditions) of the automaic machine for direct dispensing. In addition, before dispensing the prescription, there must be real-time correlative agreement between; prescription integrity; verification of medicine identity through socket-level physical verification; artificial intelligence based mechanical dose feasibility validation; dual authorities and hardware time-lock enforcement for narcotics; and monitoring of any medicine that has expired or degraded. The system also includes an automated packaging system with post-dispensing physical verification capability; tamper-evident physical audit records anchored to hardware that corresponds to each dispensing event are created by the system; and, in this manner, authorised dispensing of medicines, wrong drug or wrong dose dispensing, misuse of narcotics, and/or inconsistencies in audits are all prevented by means of enforcing the execution of prescriptions on the physical hardware level rather than relying solely on software validation or manual intervention. Consequently, the present system and method disclose a significant technical advancement within the automated medicine dispensing field, ensuring safety, compliance, and audit reliability to regulated healthcare environments."
