1. A physician system for interfacing with and controlling a medication dispensing device, the system comprising:
one or more processors and associated memory, the memory being a non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions encoded thereon, such that upon execution of the instructions, the one or more processors perform operations of:
registering a patient under the care of a doctor;
recording a dose schedule for the patient, the dose schedule having parameters specifying a particular medication and associated volume and timing interval for administration to the patient via a handheld medication dispensing device, the handheld medication dispensing device having a housing with a rotatable cartridge carrier therein;
associating a medication cartridge with the dose schedule, the medication cartridge operable for dispensing the particular medication from the medication dispensing device;
generating an invitation link for the patient to link the physician system with a patient system and the medication dispensing device; and
pushing the dose schedule to the patient system;
wherein in pushing the dose schedule to the patient system, the medication dispensing device is unlocked to activate within the parameters of the dose schedule, such that in activating within the parameters of the modified dose schedule, an activator mechanism in the handheld medication dispensing device rotates the cartridge carrier and, in doing so, moves a medication cartridge within the medication dispensing device from a stored position to a dispensing position in which at least a portion of the medication cartridge is raised from the housing and at least partially exposed beyond the housing for actuation by the patient; and
receiving notifications regarding patient adherence and providing an alert to the doctor when the patient fails to adhere to the dose schedule.
