Abstract
The present disclosure provides a biometrically controlled handheld medication dispensing device. The device includes a housing containing a cartridge carrier, designed with a specific connector to align with a medication cartridge. Notably, the device also includes a biometric authentication component that works in conjunction with an activator mechanism. When operated and upon user authentication, the activator mechanism causes the cartridge carrier to move the medication cartridge between a stored position and a dispensing position, where it can be compressed to safely and efficiently dispense medication to a user.
