Description

Medicine reminder control system and intelligent medicine reminder device using the system

technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of an automatic reminder to take medicine, and in particular relates to a medicine reminder control system and an intelligent medicine reminder using the system.

Background technique

In recent years, the home medical care market has developed rapidly in both developed and developing countries, and with the aging of the population, most of them suffer from various chronic diseases, so it is necessary to take a large number of various corresponding medicines According to the research report of McKinsey & Company, about 70% of patients with chronic diseases often forget to take their medicines at the designated time, which leads to the deterioration of their condition and even death.

At present, there are already a large number of products aimed at this market on the market to help users remind them to take medicine. However, most of these products can only place the pre-administrated medicine in the corresponding slot of a certain slot container according to the daily dosage, and remind the user by voice at the preset time of taking the medicine, and then the user can start from the The medicine is taken from the corresponding slot of the slotted container for taking. Obviously, this solution cannot accurately control the user's medication dosage, nor can it ensure that the user takes the corresponding medicine at the appropriate time. It also does not have wireless communication functions, cannot remotely control it, and cannot monitor the user's medication history. Detailed tracking.

For example: the implementation plan corresponding to the voice reminder device for taking medicine on time (Patent No. 201110009816.7) can only do voice prompts. There is no guarantee that the user is taking the correct amount of medicine.

The realization scheme most similar to the present invention is a medicine reminder device with divided medicine boxes (patent number 200910111302.5). This invention appears functionally similar to the present invention. But there are essential differences in form, function and design principles. This patent only adds an automatic dosing function on the basis of a general medicine reminder device, that is, the transmission design inside the device will automatically transfer the medicine that should be taken at the corresponding time to the medicine outlet of the device, and all the user has to do is to start from this Take the medicine out of the mouth. Compared with the implementation scheme corresponding to the patent number 201110009816.7, the advantage is that the user of the latter scheme only takes the medicine at the only medicine outlet, and will not take the wrong medicine. In the former scheme, users have to distinguish from which slot they should take the medicine when taking medicine, which may lead to the risk of taking the wrong medicine.

Based on the characteristics of the above-mentioned existing reminder devices for taking medicine, the disadvantages of the traditional reminder device for taking medicine are as follows:

1. The traditional medication reminder device can only remind you when the time comes, and cannot automatically administer medication.

2. Although the invention corresponding to the above-mentioned patent number 200910111302.5 has both on-point reminder and automatic drug delivery, the amount of medicine contained in each charging slot is very large due to its appearance (disc shape) design factor. limited. It cannot be applied to the needs of the vast number of elderly patients with chronic diseases (because such people often take a large amount of different medicines each time).

3. For the invention corresponding to the above-mentioned patent number 200910111302.5, because of its own design, the medicine can only be stored in the slot naked, which will inevitably introduce the problem of drug pollution (because many medicines are stored naked).

4. For the invention corresponding to the above-mentioned patent number 200910111302.5, the way for users to take medicine is not very friendly, because its design requires that when the time for taking medicine is up, the user must lift the whole device with one hand to take medicine, and then Turn over and pour out while catching the poured medicine with the other hand. Obviously, for most elderly people, it is more difficult to pick up a medicine box that is not too light and pour out the medicine with one hand.

5. The invention corresponding to the above-mentioned patent number 200910111302.5 does not have wireless communication function, so it cannot be remotely controlled by the remote server, nor can it be uploaded to the remote server.

Therefore, it is necessary to propose an intelligent medicine reminder device to realize on-point reminder, automatic medicine dispensing, convenience for customers to take medicine, avoid medicine exposure, cause pollution, high safety, and at the same time upload medicine information to remote The end server stores and displays the user's medication information, which is convenient for querying the medication history in the later stage.
