1. An apparatus, comprising:
a liquid quantity sensor disposed and configured to detect a volume of a drug contained within a container;
a temperature sensor disposed and configured to measure at least one temperature associated with the drug in the container; and
a processor configured to:
receive data representative of the volume of the drug contained within the container from the liquid quantity sensor;
receive, from the temperature sensor, data representative of the at least one measured temperature;
adjust the data received from the liquid quantity sensor based on the at least one measured temperature to produce compensated data;
compare the at least one measured temperature to a temperature guideline to determine whether a temperature event has occurred; and
send, via a communication interface operatively coupled to the processor, a notification based on the temperature event to a computer device remote from the processor.
