9. A method implemented by a processor of an apparatus from which medication is dispensable, the method comprising:
learning, by the processor, a pattern of dispensation events by monitoring usage of the apparatus over a first interval of time;
validating, by the processor, the learned pattern of dispensation events over a second interval of time that is subsequent to the first interval of time;
monitoring, by the processor, usage of the apparatus over a third interval of time that is subsequent to the second interval of time;
determining, by the processor based on the usage, that the learned pattern of dispensation events is no longer being followed; and
performing, by the processor in response to said determining, another learning operation in which a second pattern of dispensation events is learned based on usage of the apparatus over the third interval of time.
