1. An apparatus comprising:
a container in which medication is stored; and
a controller configured to perform:
a learning operation in which the controller learns a regimen for dispensing the medication over a first interval of time, and
a validation operation in which the controller attempts to validate the learned regimen over a second interval of time that is at least as long as the first interval of time,
wherein in response to a determination that the learned regimen cannot be validated in the second interval of time, the controller performs another learning operation, and
wherein in response to a determination that the learned regimen can be validated in the second interval of time, the controller implements, following a conclusion of the second interval of time, the learned regimen in an ongoing manner for the purpose of monitoring adherence.
