Abstract

The Digital Medication Signal Box is a portable device for dosing and the urgent control of medication administration at the scheduled times. Allows users to be alerted when medication is taken. The digital medication signal box can be programmed on the device itself using the function keys (7) and the menu via the monitor (8), or via rfid (14) technology using a PC or other terminal. The output input unit enables the data obtained from the connected sensors (1) (2) (3) (4) to be stored, processed, and exchanged stored data, by cable or wirelessly to other terminals for further processing.

Description

The field to which the invention relates

The subject of the invention is a portable device for controlling the intake of medicines by dosing with appointment signaling, and the possibility of controlling the functions of the human organism through the associated sensors, as well as storing, processing and transmitting data.

Technical problem

The technical problem, which is solved by the invention, is such a solution of the device, which enables a signal warning of the user about the appointment to take medication, and provides the possibility to collect, store, process and transmit data that is important for records and processing with the help of the associated sensors.

State of the art

There are boxes for storing medicines for the daily dose. According to the tests of the available databases, it was not found that there is a similar device with such a technical solution.

Presentation of the essence of the invention

The primary goal of the invention is to provide the device with regular and timely intake of prescribed amounts of medication, as well as the possibility of regular measurement of vital functions using associated sensors, the data of which is stored in the device's memory for later processing or transmission via an Internet connection or otherwise.

The secondary goal of the invention is that the values of vital functions can be measured using the associated sensors, the measurement results of which are stored in the memory for processing, and that the data obtained from the measurement is partially processed in the device itself, and using "rfid" technology, or the associated cable, can be transfer to other devices, computers or similar, for records or processing.

The tertiary goal of the invention is that the housings for dosing medicines can be added modularly and thus enable more compartments for distributing doses of medicines, i.e. storage for sensors that are an integral part.

Brief description of the drawing

The accompanying drawing, which is included in the description and forms part of the description of the invention, illustrates the best mode of carrying out the invention thus far considered, and helps to explain the basic principles of the invention. Sl. 1. is a spatial view of the components in accordance with the described invention.

Detailed description of the realization of the invention

The invention will be explained in more detail on the basis of an exemplary embodiment - pictures, as follows: Figure 1. Digital signal box for medicines.

The digital signal box for medicines, which is spatially shown in Figure 1, is composed of a housing for electronics /5/, which is modularly continued by the housing of the container for dosing medicines /6/, in which the medicines are placed according to the doses that must be taken. at the exact time, and are closed with the casing covers.

It is possible to modularly connect additional drug dosing container housings /6/ to the device for the need to expand/reduce the capacity of the drug dose container.

Programming of the device is done via functional keys /7/ or external terminals wirelessly (PC etc.) and using the menu on the monitor /8/, with the possibility of programming: a) times when it is necessary to take medication, b) method of signaling c) method of change data with external terminals.

Using Rfid technology, which is an integral part of the electronic circuit of the digital signal box for medicines, it enables connection with a PC or other terminals through which it is possible to monitor the necessary data for records when used in healthcare institutions.

The memory unit for storing and processing data is intended for storing data obtained by using the device, as well as processing, signaling in the event of anomalies with a sound or visual alarm and/or data transmission to a remote recipient.

The USB input is intended for connecting to other devices for the purpose of transferring collected data, connecting sensors, or recharging batteries, and an external radio frequency connection for data transmission.

The electrode is designed for the possibility of less need for electrical muscle stimulation, and is connected to the device with a cable.

The LEDs in the box are intended for the possibility of using the device and taking medication in case of reduced light. The LEDs on the outside of the device are intended for a light signal that warns of the appointment for taking the prescribed dose of medication.

Audible and visual alarm, in addition to signaling the appointment for taking medication, when using sensors /1/, /2 /or /3/, enable immediate notification of an anomaly outside the normal value.

Sensors can be connected to the device in two ways: Radio frequency connection or cable connection, as well as data transfer to other devices or a computer.

Method of industrial or other application

The invention is intended to be used in the daily use of individual users for safer regular intake of medication doses in prescribed periods, then as a device that gives users additional options for measuring and monitoring some vital functions of the body, and whose measurement results, which are stored in the memory unit, can be available to them or transferred to other terminals, to their doctors, that is, to be collected from users stationed in health institutions for the purpose of control and records of the effects of therapy.
