1. A method for verifying possession of a medication comprising:
receiving at a relay server from a mobile device remote from the relay server via a communications network, identifying facial information of a person possessing the medication, and medication information determined from the medication in the possession of the person;
analyzing the medication information, at the relay server, to determine a prescription database system remote from the relay server to be queried;
sending a query to the prescription database system and receiving patient information comprising patient facial information associated with the medication information, at the relay server;
determining match information by comparing the identifying facial information with the patient facial information at the relay server to verify possession of the medication; and
transmitting match information to the mobile device via the communications network without transmitting the patient information to the mobile device, wherein the match information comprises an indication of a match or a non-match such that patient information for the recipient of the medication is not received or displayed.
