  Hereinafter, a terminal device, a mobile communication terminal, a medication management system, a medication management method for a terminal device, and a program thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention receives the medication schedule information related to the designated date and time of taking medicine by a terminal device held by the patient, and registers this in a scheduler pre-installed in the terminal device, so that medication management can be performed using the terminal device. It is configured so that it can be performed. Therefore, an example of a case where an information distribution device (such as a personal computer) that distributes medication schedule information is introduced into a dispensing pharmacy that prescribes pharmaceuticals, and a mobile phone that many people always carry is used as a terminal device. Will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a medication management system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the medication management system 10 includes one or more information delivery devices 20a, 20b (2) that deliver medication schedule information, which is information such as the name of a drug to be taken by a patient, its usage / dose, and a medication period. And only one or more mobile phones 30a and 30b (only two shown) that receive the dosing schedule information. These one or more information distribution devices 20a and 20b and one or more mobile phones 30a. , 30b are configured to be connectable via a communication line 40 such as the Internet.

  The information distribution device 20 is installed in a dispensing pharmacy and also functions as a receipt computer that calculates medical insurance simply by inputting the contents of the prescription 51. Also, by inputting the contents of the prescription 51 (taking schedule information, see FIG. 2) and the contents of the delivery application form 52 when the patient applies for the delivery service of the taking schedule information (delivery destination information, see FIG. 3). Then, at the end of the reception time of the input date or the next day, the patient's taking schedule information is distributed to the cellular phone 30 of the patient who applied for using the e-mail. For this reason, when a plurality of prescriptions 51 are input per day for the same patient (distribution destination), e-mail transmission data (see FIG. 6) is generated by collecting the plurality of dosing schedule information. Then, the electronic mail is distributed.

  In addition, the information distribution apparatus 20 includes a program (medication management application 25 for the information distribution apparatus) for realizing the above-described medication management service on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM by the media drive 23 (see FIG. 4). It is installed in advance by reading or a program download service from a predetermined Web site.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the prescription 51 includes “preparation date” of the prescription 51, “patient information” such as patient name, date of birth, sex, etc., “prescription” such as the name of the medical institution, prescription doctor, prescription date, etc. "Prescription drug information" such as "medical information", drug name, usage / dosage, taking period, etc. is described, and the information distribution device 20 takes the delivery schedule information for distribution based on "prescription drug information" among them. Is generated. As shown in FIG. 3, the distribution application form 52 includes an “application date” of the distribution application form 52, an “application category” for designating a distribution destination, a patient's name, date of birth, sex, address, telephone. “Distribution destination information” such as a number, an E-mail address of the PC and the mobile phone 30 is described, and the information distribution apparatus 20 distributes an e-mail based on the “distribution destination information”. In the following description, it is assumed that “only mobile phone” is designated as the “application category”.

  The information distribution apparatus 20 stores the contents of the distribution application form 52 as distribution destination information. When the same patient submits the prescription 51 again, distribution is performed based on the stored distribution destination information. I do. In other words, the delivery application form 52 may be submitted only when the dispensing pharmacy is used for the first time, and after the second time, the patient information (patient name, date of birth, gender, etc.) described in the prescription 51 is stored. The e-mail is transmitted to the delivery destination that matches the patient information being received.

  Further, the contents of the prescription 51 are stored as input history information for each patient (see FIG. 5), and when the same prescription content as the prescription input in the past is input, Instead of the above-mentioned dose schedule information, update information for updating the medication period is distributed (see FIG. 6). In order to distinguish the input history information for each patient, the information distribution apparatus 20 sets a patient code when inputting the distribution application 52 and stores it in association with the distribution destination information.

  In addition, when the dispensing pharmacy and the medical institution that creates the prescription 51 are affiliated with each other, it is preferable to write the patient code on the prescription 51 as well. According to this configuration, personal information can be protected, and patients can be reliably distinguished even if they have the same family name. In this case, the dispensing pharmacy may acquire the prescription 51 from the medical institution as electronic data via a communication line or a recording medium, and cause the information distribution apparatus 20 to automatically input the contents.

  On the other hand, the mobile phone 30 is also installed with a program (medicine management application for mobile phone) for receiving a medication management service (for using the medication management system 10). That is, the medication management function is installed by downloading the program by the information distribution service of the mobile phone 30.

  Further, the mobile phone 30 is equipped with a scheduler (schedule management function), and displays and manages the schedule, and performs alarm notification and LED display based on the input schedule. Therefore, the electronic mail received from the information distribution device 20 is analyzed, and the dosage schedule information and update information included therein are registered in the scheduler, so that the medication management function and the scheduler cooperate with each other as shown in FIG. On the display screen 31 of the mobile phone 30, a calendar describing the medication time can be displayed. Similarly, in cooperation with the medication management function and the scheduler, in addition to notifications (electronic sound (alarm) and vibration (vibrator)) for prompting the patient to take medication, a message display for prompting the patient to take medication (see FIG. 9). ) Can also be performed.

  Next, the control configuration of the information distribution apparatus 20 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. As shown in the figure, an information distribution apparatus 20 includes an input device (information input means) 21 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display 22 that displays input data and processing results, an operation instruction to the user, a CD-ROM, and the like. A media drive 23 for reading / writing various recording media and a communication interface 24 for sending / receiving e-mails are provided. In the information distribution apparatus 20, a medication management application 25 and an electronic mail application (electronic mail distribution means) 26 for the information distribution apparatus are installed in a hard disk (not shown).

  The medication management application 25 performs overall control of the medication schedule information storage unit 251, the delivery destination information storage unit 252, the input history information storage unit 253, the authentication data storage unit 254, the e-mail transmission data generation unit 255, and the pharmaceutical master M1. Control means 250 is provided.

  When the content of the prescription 51 is input, the dosing schedule information storage unit 251 receives prescription drug information (“pharmaceutical name”, “dosage / dose”, “dosage period” described in the prescription 51 (see FIG. 2). Information). Note that when storing in the medication schedule information storage unit 251 (when the contents of the prescription 51 are input), the control unit 250 refers to the pharmaceutical master M1 and determines the “medication period” for each pharmaceutical product according to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. Set within a period (for example, 30 days). That is, the control means 250 notifies an error when a dose period exceeding the dose period according to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law is input, and prompts the operator to correct the dose period. Further, the period stored as the “dosing period” is generated as transmission data for one time by the e-mail transmission data generation unit 255 described later, regardless of the length of the period. Therefore, even if one month's prescription is performed, e-mail transmission is limited to one time in principle.

  When the contents of the distribution application form 52 (see FIG. 3) are input, the distribution destination information storage unit 252 receives the distribution destination information described in the distribution application form 52 (E-mail of the personal computer or the mobile phone 30). Information such as an address) is stored. As described above, the distribution application form 52 is input only when the first prescription 51 is submitted to one patient, and is not input after the second time.

  The input history information storage unit 253 classifies the input history information generated based on information stored in the dose schedule information storage unit 251 and the delivery destination information storage unit 252 (and medicine information input in the past) by patient. And stored in a nonvolatile manner. As shown in FIG. 5, the input history information storage unit 253 stores a file for each patient code. In the file, “management code”, “ Information on “medicine name”, “dosage / dose” and “dose period” is recorded. These pieces of information are generated by translating the dosage schedule information (prescription drug information) stored in the dosage schedule information storage unit 251 for each patient and each medicine and sequentially assigning a management code. A “pharmaceutical code” may be stored in place of the “pharmaceutical name”, or a code representing them may be stored in place of “dosage / dose” and “dose period”. In the following description, information related to “medicine name” or “pharmaceutical code” is referred to as “predetermined information”, “dosage / dose”, and “dose period”, that is, information related to the designated date and time of taking the drug. It shall be referred to as “dose designation information”.

  The authentication data storage unit 254 stores an authentication code for performing authentication (security check) when the mobile phone 30 receives an e-mail from the information distribution device 20. The authentication code is a unique value composed of a plurality of alphanumeric characters and is stored when the medication management application 25 is installed. The authentication code includes a MAC (registered trademark) address allocated to the ETHERNET (registered trademark) card and a GUID (Global Unique Identifier) indicating an object class ID used in WINDOWS (registered trademark). Identifier) can be used. The date and time (year / month / day / hour / minute / second) when the medication management application 25 is installed may be used, or information in which the date and time are combined with a unique identifier of the information distribution apparatus 20 may be used.

  The e-mail transmission data generation unit 255 includes a dosing schedule information generation unit 261 and an update information generation unit 262, and generates various types of information to be included in the e-mail transmission data for each patient code. As shown in FIG. 6, e-mail transmission data includes “destination schedule information (prescription drug information and additional information, etc.)” and / or “update information” and “delivery destination information (E-mail of mobile phone 30). Address) ”and“ authentication information (authentication code) ”. Among these, “distribution destination information” reads the patient code from the distribution destination information storage unit 252 as an index. Further, “authentication information” is read from the authentication data storage unit 254.

  The dosing schedule information generating unit 261 and the update information generating unit 262 generate each information based on the contents of the file stored in the input history information storage unit 253. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the management code “101003” matches the management code “101001” entered before that, “medicine name”, and “dosage / dose”, and only the “dose period”. Is different. If a patient has a chronic illness, the same prescription is often repeated, but if a prescription that differs from the past prescription only in the `` dose period '' is entered, update information is generated. The means 262 generates “update information” for quoting the management code “101001” for the management code “101003”. When no prescription with the same content has been input in the past, that is, for the management codes “101001” and “101002”, the dosing schedule information generating unit 261 generates “dosing schedule information”.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the medication schedule information generating means 261 generates “prescription drug information” and “additional information” as “medication schedule information”. Among these, “prescription drug information” is generated based on the predetermined information and the dose designation information of the management codes “101001” and “101002” shown in FIG. The “additional information” is generated by referring to the pharmaceutical master M1 based on the predetermined information.

  As the “additional information”, the pharmaceutical master M1 obtains, from the predetermined website, detailed information including precautions when taking the medicine for each medicine, image data indicating the form of the medicine (stationary Image data, illustrations, etc.) and moving image data indicating how to take the medicine. Therefore, the “additional information” is generated by reading the corresponding information from the pharmaceutical master M1 using the predetermined information of the management codes “101001” and “101002” to be generated as an index.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the update information generation unit 262 generates only information related to “management code”, “quotation code”, and “update taking period”. That is, like the dosage schedule information generating means 261, “prescription drug information” (“management code”, “medicine name” (predetermined information), “dosage / dose”, “dose period” (dose designation information))) and “ Since only the simple information is required without generating the “additional information”, the control required for data generation and transmission can be simplified when the same contents are repeatedly prescribed.

  The “dosage schedule information” and “update information” are information in which each item (each information) is coded according to a format (protocol, format) that can be registered in the scheduler 38 (see FIG. 8) of the mobile phone 30. Yes, the cellular phone 30 analyzes the coded information and takes the “dosage schedule information” and the “update information” into the scheduler 38. For this reason, when the registration format in the scheduler 38 differs depending on the mobile phone 30, model information such as the manufacturer name and model name of the mobile phone 30 is described in the distribution application 52 (see FIG. 3). It is preferable to generate the dosage schedule information and update information in an appropriate format according to the model information.

  In addition, regarding the “additional information”, the patient's desire may be described in the distribution application form 52, and transmission / non-transmission may be set according to the content. At this time, when “not to send” is set, additional information (detailed information acquired from the website, image data, and moving image data) cannot be referred to by the mobile phone 30. Similarly, “additional information” may be added to “update information” as desired by the patient. According to this configuration, the mobile phone 30 can also refer to the additional information for the medicine whose dosing period has been updated.

  Here, the information input process and the e-mail delivery process of the information delivery apparatus 20 (control unit 250) having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in the figure, when the content (prescription schedule information) of the prescription 51 is input by the input device 21 (S01), the information distribution apparatus 20 stores this in the dosage schedule information storage unit 251 (S02). Similarly, when the content (distribution destination information) of the distribution application 52 is input by the input device 21 (S03: Yes), it is stored in the distribution destination information storage unit 252 (S04). And based on the information memorize | stored in these dosing schedule information storage part 251 and the delivery destination information storage part 252, the input log | history information (patient list prescribed in the past, refer FIG. 5) for every patient is produced | generated, and this Is stored in the input history information storage unit 253 (S06).

  In addition, when delivery destination information is not input (S03: No), that is, in the case of a prescription for a patient who has already applied for delivery, the delivery destination information storage unit 252 is referred to based on the patient name and the like (S07), and the patient The code is read to generate input history information (S05). In addition, when taking schedule information including a patient code is input (when the patient code is described in the prescription 51), the execution of the step (S07) is omitted.

  And the information delivery apparatus 20 will produce | generate e-mail transmission data based on the input log | history information input that day by the e-mail transmission data production | generation means 255, if the reception time of the day is complete | finished (S08: Yes) (S09). Then, the electronic mail is transmitted to the distribution destination (mobile phone 30) based on the distribution destination information (S10). The e-mail is transmitted once in principle, but is repeatedly transmitted when it cannot be transmitted for some reason or when there is a request from the mobile phone 30. When the transmission of the e-mail is completed, the e-mail transmission data is stored in a database (not shown) together with the transmission history (S11).

  Next, the control configuration of the mobile phone 30 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, a mobile phone 30 includes a display screen (display unit) 31, an input key (input means) 32 including a numeric keypad and various function keys, an antenna 33 for transmitting and receiving radio waves with a relay station, a speaker, and the like.

In addition, when the display designation is not made in the precautions column (D2), the image image column (D3), and the dosing method column (D4), the column itself is not displayed (that is, in the illustrated example, all columns are displayed). Shows the case where the designation was made).

  Further, the display in each column may be automatically performed in conjunction with the notification by the notification unit 34 without depending on the designation of the patient. In the case of the foldable mobile phone 30, the connection to the Web site or the display of the image may be started with an operation of opening the mobile phone 30 as a trigger.

  In addition, the screen D includes a question about whether or not medication is taken, and can be terminated by a single key operation (such as pressing a numeric key “1”, “2”, “3”). (It is preferable to be able to do this), so that the medication result can be input (D5). In addition, when “1. Yes, I drank” or “3. I do not drink” is input, the input result is stored in a dosing history storage unit 360 described later. When “2. Drink later” is input, the same screen D is displayed again after a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes).

  The authentication unit 352 includes an authentication data storage unit 361, and the authentication data storage unit 361 stores an authentication code that is a target for permitting reception of an e-mail. For example, when the patient who is the owner of the mobile phone 30 wishes to distribute the dosing schedule information from the A pharmacy (see FIG. 1), the authentication code (provided to the information distribution device 20a) of the A pharmacy in advance is used. Register with the mobile phone 30. That is, if the authentication code included in the received e-mail matches the authentication code stored in the authentication data storage unit 361, the authentication unit 352 determines that the e-mail is authentic (authentication can be permitted). to decide.

  Note that the authentication unit 352 may authenticate whether to register the dosing schedule information in the scheduler 38 instead of authenticating whether or not the received e-mail is authentic. That is, when all the sent electronic mails are received and authentication is not permitted, registration in the scheduler 38 may be prohibited (cancelled).

  In addition, since the patient may forget to register the authentication code, when the authentication is not permitted, it is preferable to display the fact on the display screen 31 and prompt the user to input the authentication code. Also, on the information distribution apparatus 20 side, when the e-mail cannot be transmitted because the authentication by the authentication unit 352 is not permitted, it is preferable to automatically distribute the e-mail that prompts registration of the authentication code.

  In addition, if the authentication code is not registered in the authentication data storage unit 361, “Dosage schedule information (e-mail) is distributed from XX pharmacy on the display screen 31 of the mobile phone 30. ", And when the user permits this, the electronic mail may be received.

  The time setting means 353 is for the patient to set the time of his / her life rhythm and store the set value in the time setting storage unit 363 in a nonvolatile manner. In general, pharmaceuticals are prescribed to be taken on the basis of meals and before and after bedtime, such as “before meal”, “after meal”, and “before bedtime” (see FIG. 2). It is possible to set specific times of taking time such as “before meal”, “after meal”, “before going to bed”. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, since there are many cases where the daily rhythm is different between weekdays and holidays, the time can be set separately for weekdays and for holidays, and this set value is stored in the time setting storage unit 363 in advance. In this way, it is possible to make a notification for encouraging medication at a timing that matches the life rhythm of each individual patient. In addition, when the setting is not particularly performed by the patient, the notification is performed according to the default setting value stored in the time setting storage unit 363.

  The adjustment time setting means 354 sets an adjustment time that is the difference between the dose designation date and time specified by the dose designation information and the time for which notification is actually performed, and stores the set value in the adjustment time setting storage unit 364 in a nonvolatile manner. To do. As shown in FIG. 10, for example, when the set time before breakfast on weekdays is AM 7:00 (including the case where it is set to AM 7:00 by default), 10 minutes before that time (- When the adjustment time is set so as to be notified at 10 min), it is notified at AM 6:50. In this embodiment, the adjustment time can be set for each dosing time such as “before breakfast” and “after breakfast”, but the adjustment time may be set uniformly.

  The scheduler registration unit 355 includes a dosing schedule information analyzing unit 365 that analyzes dosing schedule information, an update information analyzing unit 366 that analyzes update information, and a registration data generating unit 367 that generates registration data based on these analysis results. ,have. The dosing schedule information analysis unit 365 and the update information analysis unit 366 refer to the analysis master M2 and analyze the dosing schedule information (prescription drug information) and update information (see FIG. 6) included in the e-mail transmission data. . The analysis master M2 includes a code for analyzing the drug name, usage / dose, taking period, etc. and mapping data of the meaning (for example, the character string “RXO” indicates “prescription drug information” and the character string “ “TID” indicates “3 times a day”).

  The registration data generation unit 367 generates registration data to be registered in the scheduler 38 based on the analysis result by the dosing schedule information analysis unit 365 and the time set by the time setting unit 353 and the adjustment time setting unit 354. The generated registration data (information corresponding to the input history information (see FIG. 5)) is stored in the data storage unit 356 and registered in the scheduler 38. Further, additional information (detailed information URL, image data, moving image data, see FIG. 6) added for each medicine is extracted from the analysis result, and the additional information is also stored in the data storage unit 356 as part of the registration data. Remember. When the scheduler 38 has a function of storing registration data, the storage in the data storage unit 358 may be omitted.

  Further, the registration data generation unit 367 generates registration data for updating the scheduler 38 based on the analysis result by the update information analysis unit 366. Specifically, “quotation code: 101001” (see FIG. 6) obtained as a result of the analysis is used as an index to refer to the data storage unit 357, and the prescription content of the “quotation code” (the pharmaceutical product with the management code “101001”) Name, usage, dose, etc.). Then, registration data (input history information of the management code “101003” shown in FIG. 5) is generated based on the prescription content and the updated taking period included in the updated information. The generated registration data is stored in the data storage unit 356 and registered in the scheduler 38 in the same manner as the above-described dosing schedule information.

  As described above, the data storage unit 356 stores registration data generated based on the analysis results of the dosing schedule information analysis unit 365 and the update information analysis unit 366. Therefore, when information distribution is reliably performed from the information distribution device 20 to the mobile phone 30, the input history information storage unit (see FIG. 5) and the data storage unit 356 of the information distribution device 20 are shifted in storage timing. However, the same information is stored, but consistency is maintained. However, the data storage unit 356 is based on the time set by the time setting unit 353 and the adjustment time setting unit 354 other than the dosing time such as “before meal” and “after meal” stored in the input history information storage unit. The actual notification time is also stored.

  The data storage unit 356 also stores additional information included in the analysis result of the dosage schedule information analyzing unit 365, and in conjunction with the scheduler 38, these additional information are added in accordance with the dosage schedule information (designated date and time for taking the medicine). Information can be displayed on the display screen 31. However, the additional information is deleted after the dosing period has elapsed in order to prevent a shortage of storage capacity.

  The information acquisition unit 357 acquires detailed information about a medicine from a predetermined Web site via a public line by making a browse request to the Web browser application 37 based on the detailed information URL included in the dosing schedule information. As detailed information, information on precautions (side effects, interaction (drinking), pharmacological action, etc.) when taking medicines, packaging codes of medicines, efficacy, generic names, standards, manufacturers, etc. are acquired.

  The notification control unit 358 controls the notification unit 34 (speaker, LED, vibrator, etc.) to cooperate with the scheduler 38 in which the registration data is registered by the scheduler registration unit 355 so as to perform notification for prompting taking of the medicine. To do.

  The prescription history storage unit 359 stores the prescription history obtained by converting the information stored in the data storage unit 356 for display in a non-volatile manner. As illustrated in FIG. 11, “prescription date”, “medicine name” , "Dosage / Dose", "Dosing period or number of times" information is stored. Further, the information stored in the prescription history storage unit 359 can be read out by a predetermined key operation and displayed on the display screen 31. That is, the mobile phone 30 can be used as a substitute for the “medicine notebook”.

  In addition, as for “D-tablet” shown in the bottom row of the figure, it is impossible to notify the medication time for the pharmaceutical product of “Tempuku”, so the patient can refer to the prescription history storage unit 359. Only the prescription can be confirmed. Therefore, when a pharmaceutical product of “Tonpuku” is prescribed, the “pain (or fever) may occur when the medication time of other medicines (C tablets) prescribed on the same day is notified (when the message shown in FIG. 9 is displayed). In some cases, it is preferable to add a message such as "Please take D tablets (one tablet at a time)."

  The dosing history storage unit 360 stores the history of whether or not the drug has been actually taken, that is, the dosing history in a non-volatile manner. As shown in FIG. 12, as shown in FIG. 12, “(taken) date”, “dosing time”, “ Information related to “medicine name” and “presence / absence of medication” is stored. The information (“○” or “×”) regarding the presence / absence of this medication represents the input result (numeric key “1” or “3”) to the message prompting medication (medicine notification screen D) shown in FIG. ing. Information stored in the medication history storage unit 360 can also be read out by a predetermined key operation and displayed on the display screen 31. Accordingly, even if the medication history is not recorded on a recording sheet or the like, the medication history can be recorded and managed with only a simple key operation for the notification of medication time.

  Here, with reference to the flowcharts of FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the e-mail reception process and the dosing notification process of the mobile phone 30 (control unit 350) configured as described above will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the e-mail receiving process, and FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the dosing notification process.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the mobile phone 30 (control unit 350) receives an e-mail from the information distribution apparatus 20 (S21), the authentication is performed by the authentication unit 352 (S22). If it is determined that the e-mail is authentic, the scheduler registration means 355 analyzes the dosing schedule information and the update information included in the e-mail (S23), and further, based on the analysis result, registration data (medication management) Various information (including predetermined information, medication designation information, additional information, etc.) necessary for the generation is generated (S24). The generated registration data is registered in the scheduler 38 and stored in the data storage unit 356 (S25). Further, a prescription history is generated based on the data stored in the data storage unit 356 (S26), and stored in the prescription history storage unit 359 (S27).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the dosing notification process will be described. When the mobile phone 30 (control means 350) comes to the specified date for taking (S31: Yes), in cooperation with the scheduler 38, the notification control means 358 provides a notification for prompting medication with a voice or a vibrator and the display. The medication notification screen D shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display screen 31 by the control means 351 (S32). When the patient is instructed to acquire detailed information by operating the input key 32 with the medication notification screen D displayed (when a link character string (website connection) is designated) (S33: Yes) In order to display “notes” on the display screen 31, the additional information (detailed information URL) stored in the data storage unit 356 is read, and the detailed information is acquired from the website by the information acquisition unit 357. It displays on the medication notification screen D (S34). In addition, when an instruction to display image data and / or moving image data is given by the patient's operation (when a link character string (image display) and / or (start moving image) is specified) (S35: Yes), the data Additional information (image data and / or moving image data) stored in the storage unit 356 is read, and an image image and a medication method are displayed on the medication notification screen D (S36).

  Furthermore, when an answer to a question regarding the presence or absence of the medication included in the medication notification screen D is input (S37: Yes), the input result is stored in the medication history storage unit 360 (S38), and the process is terminated. To do.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the information distribution apparatus 20 distributes the medication schedule information related to the medication designation date and time for a predetermined period of medicine to the mobile phone 30 using an email, and the mobile phone 30 Since the analysis result of the received medication schedule information is registered in the scheduler 38, the medication management for several days (for example, a medication period by one prescription) can be performed by the scheduler 38 only by registering it once. Therefore, even if the patient is not always in a place where e-mail can be received, as long as he / she carries the mobile phone 30, it is possible to reliably notify the timing of taking the medicine, and the delivery process can be performed only once. In addition, the burden of receiving processing can be reduced. In addition, by installing the information distribution device 20 in each of a plurality of medical institutions or dispensing pharmacies, even when receiving prescriptions from a plurality of medical institutions or dispensing pharmacies, the mobile phone 30 can perform centralized management. Furthermore, since the information distribution apparatus 20 may be configured to have only an electronic mail function, a general personal computer can be used, and the system 10 can be constructed at a low cost.

  In addition, in order to notify the patient to take the medicine at the date and time corresponding to the dosing schedule and taking time by the notifying control means 34 (speaker, LED, vibrator, etc.) in cooperation with the scheduler 38, The patient can prevent forgetting to drink by taking the medicine when the notification is given.

  Further, in conjunction with the notification by the notification control means 34, image data indicating the form of the medicine and / or moving image data indicating the method of taking the medicine are displayed on the display screen 31 (medicine notification screen D). With the data and / or moving image data, the prescribed medicine can be taken correctly and without mistakes. Furthermore, since detailed information including precautions for taking medicines from the website is displayed on the medication notification screen D, the patient can take the medicine after confirming the precautions.

  In addition, information regarding the presence or absence of medication can be input by a predetermined key operation on the notification control unit 34, and the input history can be stored in the medication history storage unit 360 in the mobile phone 30 as a medication history. By displaying this on the display screen 31, not only the dosing schedule but also the dosing history can be managed.

  In addition, since the registration data is registered in the scheduler 38 when the authentication unit 352 determines that the email is authentic, it is possible to prevent unauthorized information from being registered due to the reception of the email including the illegal dose schedule information. can do.

  In addition, the information distribution device 20 stores the input medication schedule information (prescription drug information) in association with the distribution destination information for each medicine (input information storage unit 253), and the information input at a later date is stored. If the information is different only in the taking period, that is, if a prescription 51 having the same contents is prescribed for the same patient, the renewal of the taking period of the medicine (extension of the taking period) And the like, it is only necessary to include update information in the e-mail transmission data and transmit it to the mobile phone 30, so that the amount of information transmitted by the information distribution device 20 and its transmission load can be reduced. In addition, since the mobile phone 30 side also has a database (data storage unit 356) corresponding to the input information storage unit 253, by referring to the data storage unit 356 based on the analysis result of the update information, The dose period can be updated.

  In addition, when the contents of a plurality of prescriptions 51 are input to the same distribution destination information, the information distribution apparatus 20 distributes the dosing schedule information collectively, so the number of distributions can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to save a fee (communication cost, packet fee, etc.) required for sending and / or receiving an electronic mail.

  In addition, since the cellular phone 30 can set the time of the patient's life rhythm such as before meals and before going to bed by the time setting unit 353, the notification control unit 358 performs notification according to the patient's life rhythm. Can do.

  In addition, since the mobile phone 30 can set the adjustment time for the designated date and time of use by the adjustment time setting unit 354, the notification control unit 358 can perform notification according to the patient's preference and needs.

  In the above example, the daily schedule information is collectively distributed, but a plurality of days may be distributed. In addition, whether or not a plurality of dose schedule information is to be transmitted collectively, and in the case of collective distribution, the number of days may be set according to the patient's wishes, and distribution may be performed based on the set value. . In addition, it is preferable that the patient's request is described in the distribution application form 52.

  Moreover, the e-mail to be distributed is not limited to one patient, and for example, one family may be transmitted together. According to this configuration, the number of times of distribution by the information distribution apparatus 20 can be reduced, and a medication management service can be provided even for a patient who does not have the mobile phone 30 such as a child. In addition, it is preferable that patient information for a plurality of persons to be distributed is also described in the distribution application form 52.

  In addition, the input history information storage unit 253 (see FIG. 5) is given a management code for each medicine, but when a powdered medicine mixed with a plurality of medicines is prescribed, a management code is assigned to the powdered medicine. You may make it provide. Also, even if it is not a powder drug, a single management code is assigned to multiple drugs (the dosage and administration may be different), and if all of the drugs match the prescription, update information is sent to the mobile phone. 30 may be distributed.

  In the above example, information regarding the presence / absence of medication is input by a predetermined key operation on the medication notification screen D. However, a simple configuration may be adopted in which the display of the medication notification screen D is omitted. In this case, it is preferable to input information on the presence or absence of medication by performing a predetermined key operation for the notification control by the notification control means 358.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Although the medication management system 10 in the above embodiment includes one or more information distribution devices 20 and one or more mobile phones 30 (see FIG. 1), the medication management system 100 of the present embodiment includes: The difference is that a management server 70 that manages and manages one or more information distribution apparatuses 20 is further added as a component. Thus, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the present embodiment, the owner (patient) of the mobile phone 30 needs to apply for distribution by transmitting electronic data corresponding to the distribution application form 52 shown in FIG. 3 to the management server 70 in advance. . With this application, the owner of the mobile phone 30 can acquire all the dosing schedule information distributed from the information distribution device 20 in the system 100.

  The information distribution device 20 corresponds to the dose schedule information for delivery (the dose schedule information included in the e-mail transmission data) when the contents of the prescription 51 (the dose schedule information) are input (the dose schedule information input means). 6) and is distributed to the management server 70 via the communication line 40 together with information for specifying a delivery destination such as a patient name and a patient code (dosing schedule information transmitting means). The distribution may use electronic mail or other communication means.

  When the administration server 70 receives the dosing schedule information from the information distribution device 20 (dosing schedule information receiving means), the management server 70 obtains information for specifying the distribution destination included therein and the distribution destination information in the distribution destination information block 71a. The dosage schedule information transmitted from the information distribution device 20 is transferred to the corresponding patient distribution destination (address of the mobile phone 30) using an electronic mail (transfer means). The mobile phone 30 receives the electronic mail, analyzes the medication schedule information, and takes the analysis result into a scheduler (corresponding to the scheduler 38, see FIG. 8) to perform medication management.

  The mobile phone 30 can transfer the information stored in the prescription history storage unit 359 and the medication history storage unit 360 to the management server 70 as necessary. In addition, after the transfer, the prescription history storage unit 359 and the dose history storage unit 360 of the mobile phone 30 are initialized. As a result, it is possible to solve problems such as insufficient storage capacity or loss of data due to an accident. On the other hand, the management server 70 stores information on the prescription history and the medication history transmitted from the mobile phone 30 in the prescription history block 71b and the medication history block 71c in the database 71, and access from the mobile phone 30 or not shown. Reference can be made by logging in from a PC.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the management server 70 receives the delivery destination information from the mobile phone 30 and stores it, and the dose schedule information transmitted from the information delivery device 20 is stored in the administration schedule information. In order to transfer to an appropriate delivery destination based on the delivery destination information, the patient only has to send application data (delivery destination information) to the management server 70 when using the system 100, and for each information delivery device 20 ( This saves you the trouble of applying for distribution to each dispensing pharmacy. In addition, since the management server 70 accumulates information related to the prescription history and the medication history transmitted from the mobile phone 30 in the database 71 so that the patient can refer to the information, the patient can refer to the information as necessary. There is no possibility that the information cannot be written because the memory of the telephone 30 is over.

  Also in this embodiment, input history information is stored in the management server 70 (corresponding to the input history information storage unit 253, see FIG. 4), and when a prescription with the same content as a past prescription is performed. It is preferable to send update information for updating the taking of the medicine to the mobile phone 30. In addition, it is preferable that the transmission of the electronic mail is performed by distributing the entire day received from one or more information distribution apparatuses 20 to reduce the number of distributions.

  In the above two embodiments, the e-mail is delivered to the patient's mobile phone 30, but instead of the mobile phone 30, a PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). For example, the electronic mail may be distributed to a terminal device with a communication function. That is, the present invention can be applied to any terminal device equipped with an electronic mail function and a scheduler.

  In addition, the mobile phone 30 provides notification for prompting the user to take medicines, but the present invention is not limited to internal medicines but can be applied to external medicines. That is, “medicine taking” of the present invention is a concept including “inoculation and ingestion of pharmaceuticals” such as insulin injection (inoculation) and use (ingestion) of external medicines, and a notification that prompts them is performed. Is also possible.

  It is also possible to provide each part (each function) of the information distribution device 20, the mobile phone 30 or the management server 70, or the medication management applications 25 and 35 shown in the above example as a program.
