Description

Avisador electrónico para la correcta administración de medicamentos.Electronic warning for the correct medicine administration.

Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector

La presente invención puede encuadrarse dentro de conjunto de dispositivos electrónicos avisadores, de uso personal y en el ambiente doméstico, en concreto se refiere a un dispositivo electrónico capaz de indicar el momento exacto en el que debe administrarse un medicamento.The present invention can be framed within set of electronic warning devices, for personal use and in the domestic environment, specifically refers to a device electronic capable of indicating the exact moment at which it should take a medication

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Existen dispositivos similares en lo referente al aviso de la toma de medicamentos. Estos elementos tienen sus funciones accesibles y configurables por el usuario, por ejemplo mediante botones o pequeños teclados de manera que el paciente puede modificar el espaciado entre tomas, activar y desactivar los avisos correspondientes.There are similar devices in relation to Notice of taking medications. These elements have their functions accessible and configurable by the user, for example using buttons or small keyboards so that the patient you can modify the spacing between shots, activate and deactivate the corresponding notices.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

Se plantea el problema de la administración de medicamentos en unos instantes concretos y con una regularidad determinada, lo que puede resultar difícil cuando el número de estos es elevado, y el espaciado entre tomas distinto. El no cumplimiento de estos plazos puede representar un inconveniente, reduciendo la eficiencia del tratamiento.The problem of the administration of medications in a few moments and regularly determined, which can be difficult when the number of these are high, and the spacing between different shots. He does not Compliance with these deadlines may be inconvenient, reducing the efficiency of the treatment.

El dispositivo en cuestión avisa al usuario del medicamento que debe tomar, de manera independiente para cada fármaco, cuando llega el momento adecuado de la administración, de acuerdo con los parámetros que se le hayan programado con anterioridad. El aviso es distinto para cada medicina, de manera que no haya lugar a confusión por parte del paciente. Dependiendo de las características propias del paciente y la implementación, el aviso puede hacerse de diferentes maneras, por ejemplo, reproduciendo por voz el nombre del fármaco, o con una pequeña pantalla de visualización integrada en el dispositivo donde aparezca el nombre del medicamento, acompañado de una vibración del dispositivo.The device in question notifies the user of the medicine to take, independently for each drug, when the appropriate time of administration comes, of according to the parameters that have been programmed with anteriority. The notice is different for each medicine, so that there is no confusion for the patient. According to the patient's own characteristics and implementation, the notice can be done in different ways for example reproducing the name of the drug by voice, or with a small display screen built into the device where it appears the name of the medication, accompanied by a vibration of the device.

La configuración de las características de administración de cada medicamento es independiente del resto, e incluye no sólo la posología, sino también otros datos de interés, como el número de tomas totales. Al alcanzarse ese número de tomas totales, se desactivarían automáticamente los avisos.The configuration of the characteristics of administration of each medication is independent of the rest, and It includes not only the dosage, but also other data of interest, as the number of total shots. Upon reaching that number of shots totals, warnings would be automatically deactivated.

Un problema que puede darse es la incorrecta configuración del sistema, tanto del número de medicamentos, como de su posología, etc... Para evitar dichos errores, la configuración se lleva a cabo externamente, mediante un software específico instalado en un computador, que, comunicándose con el dispositivo mediante un bus de comunicaciones estándar, carga posteriormente en la memoria de éste los diferentes fármacos a administrar. Además de permitir un control externo (idealmente por parte de personal médico cualificado) de los tratamientos, esta característica simplifica la interfaz entre el dispositivo y el paciente, y limita el número botones necesarios a una cantidad reducida, ya que sólo se necesitarían aquellos destinados a las funciones más básicas, tales como indicar al dispositivo que ya se ha producido la administración del fármaco. Esto supone una ventaja de uso considerable, especialmente en pacientes poco acostumbrados al manejo de aparatos electrónicos, o con movilidad reducida en las manos. Por otro lado, permite también reducir el tamaño del dispositivo, facilitando su transporte.A problem that may occur is the wrong one system configuration, both of the number of medications, and of your dosage, etc ... To avoid such errors, the configuration is carried out externally, using software specific installed on a computer, which, communicating with the device via a standard communications bus, charging later in the memory of this one the different drugs to manage. In addition to allowing external control (ideally for part of qualified medical personnel) of the treatments, this feature simplifies the interface between the device and the patient, and limit the number of buttons needed to an amount reduced, since only those intended for more basic functions, such as telling the device that it is already has produced drug administration. This is an advantage. of considerable use, especially in less accustomed patients to the handling of electronic devices, or with reduced mobility in hands. On the other hand, it also allows to reduce the size of the device, facilitating its transport.

Descripción de una realizaciónDescription of an embodiment

Una realización posible puede llevarse a cabo con un microcontrolador dotado de un puerto de comunicaciones estándar y suficiente memoria no volátil. Utilizando los temporizadores que contienen estos dispositivos, se emiten los avisos correspondientes al superar estos los valores de tiempo guardados en la memoria, que tendrá asociados cada fármaco que se haya configurado en el sistema. En caso de una implementación que incluyese una pequeña pantalla LCD, al alcanzarse el momento de la administración, mediante los buses de datos del microcontrolador se accedería al sistema de visualización, configurando el mensaje que aparecería en la pantalla: el nombre del medicamento, y otra información relevante si fuese necesaria. El aviso podría incluir también un pitido o vibración, a la manera de un teléfono móvil. El aviso se mantendría activo hasta que el paciente indicase, pulsando un botón, que el fármaco ya ha sido administrado.A possible embodiment can be carried out with a microcontroller equipped with a standard communications port and enough nonvolatile memory. Using the timers that contain these devices, the corresponding notices are issued by exceeding these time values stored in memory, which each drug that has been configured in the system will be associated. In case of an implementation that includes a small screen LCD, upon reaching the time of administration, by means of Microcontroller data buses would access the system visualization, configuring the message that would appear in the display: the name of the medication, and other relevant information if It was necessary. The notice could also include a beep or vibration, in the manner of a mobile phone. The notice would remain active until the patient indicated, by pressing a button, that the Drug has already been administered.
