Devices, systems, and methods are provided for adherence monitoring, and devices, systems, and methods are provided for monitoring use of consumable dispensers. In general, the devices, systems, and methods can facilitate an individual's adherence to a schedule for consuming consumables and can facilitate monitoring and tracking of the individual's adherence to the schedule. The devices, systems, and methods can allow data regarding the individual's historical adherence to the schedule to be accessible via a computer system. In one embodiment, an accessory is provided that can be configured to attach to consumable dispensers. The accessory can be configured to be removably and replaceably coupled to the dispenser. The accessory can be configured to provide a notification to a user indicating that a certain event occurred and/or that a certain action needs to be taken. The accessory can be configured to sense attachment thereof to and removal thereof from the dispenser.

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to determine that at least one does of medication was dispensed from the container when the weight or pressure is equal to or above the predetermined threshold. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a wireless communication mechanism configured to receive a dosing schedule from an external device, wherein the processor is further configured to cause the indicator to provide a second notification to the user indicating that at least one dose of medication is scheduled to be consumed according to the dosing schedule. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, further comprising a wireless communication configured to receive the predetermined threshold amount of weight or pressure from the external device. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a sensor configured to sense a condition indicative of the apparatus being attached to the container; anda wireless communication mechanism;wherein the processor is configured to cause the wireless communication mechanism to wirelessly transmit data indicative of the sensed attachment to an external device. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a memory configured to store data relating to when medication was dispensed from the container; anda wireless communication mechanism configured to wireless transmit the stored data to an external device. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the indicator comprises a light source, a speaker, a vibration mechanism, or a temperature-changing element. 9. A method of detecting when a medication dispenser has been actuated, the method comprising: attaching an apparatus to a container, the container being movably coupled to a housing of the medication dispenser;sensing, via a pressure sensor of the apparatus, a weight or pressure applied to the apparatus when the apparatus is attached to the container, the weight or pressure for causing the movement of the container and the apparatus as a unit relative to the housing;determining that the weight or pressure is equal to or above a predetermined threshold amount of weight or pressure, the predetermined threshold determined based on at least one of a type of the container or a type of medication in the container; andstoring data relating to the weight or pressure being above the predetermined threshold. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: dispensing at least a portion of a medication in the container when the weight or pressure is equal to or above the predetermined threshold. 11.
