1. A system for monitoring drug delivery, comprising:
a container having:
a medicine disposed inside the container, the medicine associated with a patient;
a machine-readable code viewable from an outside of the container;
a second code in an interior of the container not accessible until the container is opened;
a computer configured to receive from a user device a video showing the machine-readable code, the second code, and the patient take the medicine;
the computer having software executing on a computer readable medium for:
verifying association of the medicine and the patient using the machine-readable code;
verifying association of the machine-readable code and the patient using the second code;
identifying movement of the patient in the video using a machine learning algorithm;
generating a score indicative of the likelihood the medicine was taken by the patient by weighing factors comprising verification that the medicine is associated with the patient, and the identified movements of the patient.
