摘要：
A body is configured to accept a medication container in a container cavity defined therein. The body may approximate a half-cylinder with the container disposed in the concavity, and held in place with flexure tabs or other restraints. A force sensor is disposed on the interior of the body in communication with the container cavity and container. Dispensing force applied to the container from the body side do not reach the container to dispense medication； dispensing force applied from the open side do, and also cause the container to press against the force sensor. This indirect, transmitted force is detected with the force sensor, and the force data is evaluated in a processor. In response to the force data corresponding with dispensing medication, the processor registers a medication event, such as by storing the event, displaying the event, or communicating the event to a third party.
