Abstract
A kiosk includes a processor configured to receive, from a user interface device, medication information and determine, via a database, that medication associated with the medication information satisfies criteria. The processor is also configured to receive, from a first camera, an image of the medication and to determine that the image of the medication satisfies a visual criterion. The processor is further configured to receive, from the scale, a weight of the medication and to determine that the weight of the medication satisfies an expected weight criterion. The processor is also configured to cause a display to display an indication that the medication satisfies the criteria based at least in part on the determination that the image of the medication satisfies the visual criterion and the determination that the weight of the medication satisfies the expected weight criterion.
