A monitoring system comprises: a first device (2) configured to capture an image of a medicament dosage indicated by a medicament dispensing device by an image capturing component of the first device； display the image of the medicament dosage on a display (21) of the first device； and transmit data representing the image of the medicament dosage to a second device； and computer code that when executed by a second device causes the second device (100) to: receive the data representing the image of the medicament dosage sent by the first device (2)； perform optical character recognition on the data of the medicament dosage thereby to identify the dosage indicated by the medicament dispensing device； and make a non-transient record of dosage information based at least in part on the identified medicament dosage.一種監測系統，包括：第一裝置(2)，其被構造成通過第一裝置的圖像採集部件採集由藥劑分配裝置指示的藥劑劑量的圖像；將藥劑劑量的圖像顯示在第一裝置的顯示器(21)上；和將表示藥劑劑量的圖像傳輸至第二裝置；和電腦代碼在由第二裝置執行時促使第二裝置(100)執行下列動作：接收表示由第一裝置(2)發送的藥劑劑量的圖像的數據；在藥劑劑量的數據上執行光學字元辨識從而識別由藥劑分配裝置指示的劑量；和至少部分地基於已識別的藥劑劑量對劑量資訊進行非暫時性記錄。
