Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an IC card for drug administration issued to patients by, for example, medical institutions.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, medical institutions such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, etc. give appropriate drugs to patients based on a prescription after a medical examination.
Patients are to take the above-mentioned drugs at the prescribed dosing times. In other words, such drugs are usually designed to exert a predetermined medicinal effect by being taken at regular intervals. Therefore, it can be said that it is difficult to obtain the expected drug efficacy when the timing of administration is arbitrarily changed due to the patient's convenience.

By the way, patients include a variety of people, from children to the elderly, and even people who work at home or at work. For example, people who work irregularly may forget to take medication even if they are required to take it at regular intervals. Because they were instructed to ``take the medication after meals,'' they sometimes neglected to take the medication, saying they ``didn't eat'' or ``meal times were significantly delayed.'' On the other hand, some elderly people often do not know when to take their medications, or are confused about the combinations of drugs they are taking.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As detailed above, the timing of drug administration is an important action from the perspective of promoting early recovery of the patient.

However, in the past, taking drugs was left up to the patient's free will, so they were not always taken at the prescribed times, and the types and amounts of drugs that should be taken at one time were not always followed. As a result, there has been a problem in that not only early treatment of patients is not achieved, but also the condition may even worsen.

However, until now, no effective means to improve this situation has been found, and the development of an effective solution has been awaited.

Therefore, the present invention provides an I for drug administration that solves each of the above-mentioned problems.
The purpose is to provide C cards.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The structure of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is that a drug to be taken at a predetermined time is notified at a preset time to take it. The device is characterized by comprising at least a notification means for notifying the timing of taking the drug, and a change setting device for setting a change in the timing of the drug.

(Function) The effect of the present invention having the above configuration is that it includes at least a notification means for notifying when it is time to take a drug, and a change setting means for setting a change in the time for taking a drug. I'm trying to be able to do that.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) are a front view and a side view, respectively, of an IC card for drug administration.

The drug administration IC card 1 shown in FIG. A keyboard 3 is provided as a change setting means for inputting change setting information. Also, inside the main body 7, there is a CPU 5 which is a control unit in charge of overall control, and a keyboard 3 that is a control unit that controls the entire control, and a keyboard 3 that is a control unit that controls the entire control, and a keyboard 3 that is a change setting means for inputting change setting information. An external connection terminal 13 connected to an external device for inputting information (writing device described later), and setting information such as dosing timing and dose inputted via this external connection terminal 13 or change setting information etc. are stored. It has a built-in storage unit 14 and a sounding device, for example, an alarm 4, which serves as a notification means to notify the patient when it is time for the drug to be taken. Instead, a light emitting device such as an LED may be used alone, or both may be used in combination.

The graphical display unit 2 as the display means displays the dosing time 2a as the time to take the drug in the upper row, and the type and quantity of the drug when taking multiple drugs at the same time in the middle and rear rows. The shape and quantity are displayed as Arabic numerals.

Here, the display device 2 is activated at the same time as the notification function when it is time to take the drug, and is turned off by operating the OFF switch 3b. Note that the above-mentioned dosing time may be set not only by setting the time at which the drug is to be taken, but also by setting the time after a certain period of time has elapsed from the already set time.

The keyboard 3, which is the change setting means, includes a numeric keypad 3a, an OFF switch 3b for canceling the sounding state and stopping the display on the display section 2 when the alarm 4 becomes sounding state, and an OFF switch 3b for stopping the display on the display section 2. It is composed of a change switch 3C for changing the displayed dosing time.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the structure of the drug administration IC card 1 having the above structure.

In the figure, numerals 2 to 5 are the aforementioned display section, keyboard as input section, alarm, and CPLJ, respectively, and 13 and 14 are external connection terminals and storage section, respectively. Although not shown in FIG. 1, 6 in the figure is a battery as a power source for supplying electric power. Incidentally, this battery 6 is, for example, a solar cell 1. Mercury batteries and other power sources can be used.

The dosing timing is set on the drug administration IC card 1 having the above-described structure using a writing device whose structure is shown in FIG.

The writing device shown in the figure is a CPU that controls the entire device.
ua and an insertion hole (not shown) into which the drug administration IC card 1 is inserted. a writing section 11 for writing information, a keyboard 12 for inputting these setting information, a storage section 9 for storing these setting information, and a display section for displaying information input from the keyboard 12 or stored in the storage section 9. It is composed of CRTlo and CRTlo.

The usage, action, and effects of the drug administration IC card 1 having the above configuration will be explained.

Pharmacies inside or outside medical institutions deliver drugs to patients based on prescriptions issued by doctors. There are often several types of mulberry depending on the patient's symptoms. In such cases, the pharmacy personnel should use the drug administration I
C-card 1 will be given to the patient along with the medicine.

First, the staff at the pharmacy uses the drug administration IC card 1.
is inserted into an insertion hole (not shown) provided in the writing section 11 shown in FIG. Next, the administration period and necessary information, such as the type and quantity of the drug, are entered from the keyboard 12, and the information is entered into the storage section 14 of the inserted drug administration IC card 1.
to be memorized.

The patient takes the medicine and the medicine administration IC card 1 in which the necessary information is stored in this way, and goes home, for example.

Here, the drug administration IC card 1 includes a clock at 12:04 p.m.
Assuming that the dosing time is set at 0 minutes, at the same time, the alarm 5 as the notification means starts sounding and a display is made on the display unit 2.

In this embodiment, the sound of the alarm 5 and the display on the display section 2 continue until the OFF switch 3b is pressed. This is because if the drug is stopped after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the patient may become infected and not take the drug.

Therefore, the patient is strongly reminded by the alarm sound and display that it is time to take the medicine, and is encouraged to take the medicine without fail. The display unit 2 displays not only the time but also instructions for the patient to take the medication, so that the medication can be taken accurately. In addition, as mentioned above, when a sounding device is used as a notification means, for example, elderly people with decreased hearing function or people with hearing abnormalities can effectively recognize when it is time to take medicine. can be done.

Broadly speaking, this notification means is not limited to the above-mentioned sound and light, but also vibration, visual stimulation, etc.
It is also effective for patients with hearing impairment.

After taking the medicine, the patient presses the OFF switch.

By the way, in this embodiment, if it is impossible to take the medicine at the preset timing, the change setting means 3
Changes can be made within a predetermined time by operating the . In addition, the reason why the predetermined time is set in this manner is that effective drug efficacy cannot be obtained if the patient's free will allows the patient to change the time. Set by considering the type, etc.

In this way, after pressing the change switch 3C, the patient changes the setting to, for example, 1:15 using the numeric keypad 3a. At this time, if you set the predetermined time to 30 minutes in advance, the settings will be changed beyond the predetermined time, so in this case, for example, you can set an alarm to sound a predetermined number of times to prompt you to change the settings again. good. Due to the change settings, the time on the display section 2 is also updated, and the sounding state of the alarm is temporarily canceled. Thereafter, at the above-mentioned time, the alarm 4 will again notify the patient that it is time to take the medication. From the above, the patient will be sure to take the drug at the scheduled time, and will be able to recover quickly.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an IC card for drug administration that can accurately notify the timing of drug administration.
