A patient suffering from a disease such as a cold often receives a doctor's diagnosis and purchases and takes prescription drugs from a pharmacy, or purchases and takes over-the-counter drugs recommended by a pharmacist at the pharmacy. In general, the use and dosage of a medicine are prescribed for each medicine, and the patient must take the medicine in accordance with the use and dosage specified by a doctor or pharmacist. In particular, when taking a combination of highly effective drugs such as antibiotics or multiple types of medicines, improper use and dose may not only reduce the efficacy but also cause the risk of side effects. Is extremely important.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, at present, it is up to the patient to manage the administration of prescription or commercially available drugs. For this reason, for example, when the work is busy or the meal is likely to be irregular, the usage and dosage are often not followed, and effective measures have been eagerly desired.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a drug use management method and a management device which enable a user to appropriately manage a use state of a drug. is there.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a computer device used by a drug provider and a management device that can be connected via a communication network to a terminal device used by a drug user. The information is transmitted from the computer device to the management device and stored in the management device, and the attribute information of the user is transmitted from the terminal device to the management device and stored in the management device. Then, in the management device, based on the stored attribute information of the drug and the attribute information of the user, guide information for prompting appropriate use of the drug for each user is created, and the created guide information is generated. During the period of use of the medicine by the user, the medicine is transmitted from the management device to the terminal device used by the user to notify the user.
[0006]
Specifically, the following configuration is conceivable.
The first configuration creates a message indicating that it is time to use a medicine for each user, and transmits the created message to the user to be notified each time the medicine should be used. Is transmitted to the terminal device used.
With this configuration, when a prescription or a commercially available drug needs to be taken, for example, at a certain time interval, a message prompting the user to take the drug is taken at each dose timing of the drug. For this reason, even if the user forgets to take the dose due to a busy reason or the like, the user is prompted to take the dose by notifying the message, so that forgetting to take the dose and passing of time can be prevented.
[0007]
In the second configuration, for each user, a message indicating that it is time to use the medicine, and information indicating the usage and dosage of the medicine are created, and the created message, usage, and The information indicating the dose is transmitted to the terminal device used by the user to be notified each time it becomes necessary to use the medicine.
With this configuration, when the prescribed or marketed drug has a different dosage and dosage at each designated dosage timing, the dosage and dosage are changed together with a message prompting the user to take the dosage at each dosage timing. The user is notified. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to take the medicine and prevent the user from taking the medicine with an incorrect usage and dose.
[0008]
Further, the present invention obtains information on the weather environment, predicts the occurrence of a weather environment affecting the symptoms for each user based on the obtained information on the weather environment, and generates the predicted occurrence of the weather environment. Is transmitted from the management device to the terminal device used by the corresponding user to notify the user.
With this configuration, it is possible to provide an additional service, for example, in which a user who is using a rhinitis medicine is notified of information that calls attention by predicting the scattering state of pollen.

It is also characterized by transmission to the terminal device used by the original user.
With this configuration, the user can easily obtain the prescription of the attending physician, for example, even at the claimant or travel destination, thereby enabling the user to take the prescription without taking the doctor's diagnosis again at the claimant or travel destination. It becomes possible to buy medicine.
[0010]
Further, according to the present invention, response information indicating whether or not the user has confirmed the notification of the guide information is transmitted from the terminal device used by the user to the management device, and the user is made based on the transmitted response information. The management device determines whether the drug is used correctly. Then, when it is determined that the medicine is not used correctly, the contact information to that effect is transmitted from the management device to the terminal device used by the administrator of the medicine or to the terminal device of the emergency contact registered in advance. It is also a feature.
With this configuration, if an acknowledgment is not returned from the user's terminal device in response to the transmission of the guidance information, it is determined that some abnormality has occurred in the user, and an emergency contact such as a doctor, a pharmacy, or a family member is made. Automatic notification can be made earlier. More specifically, when an acknowledgment is not returned continuously for a predetermined number of times in response to the transmission of the guidance information, it may be determined that an abnormality has occurred to the user and an automatic notification may be made.
[0011]
Further, according to the present invention, in response to the notification of the guide information, report information indicating, for example, the user's own symptoms input by the user in the notification destination terminal device is transmitted from the user's terminal device to the management device. Then, the declaration information is transmitted from the management device to a terminal device used by a drug administrator or a terminal device of an emergency contact registered in advance.
With this configuration, for example, if the symptoms of the user do not improve even after a certain period of time from the start of taking the medicine, the information to that effect is automatically sent to a doctor or pharmacist, or emergency contact information such as a family member. Will be notified. For this reason, the doctor, the pharmacist, and the family can promptly take measures such as urging the user of the medicine to re-examine the medicine or change the medicine taken.
[0012]
Further, the present invention, in the management device, based on the symptom report information transmitted from the terminal devices of a plurality of users, the attribute information of the corresponding user and the attribute information of the corresponding drug stored in advance, The present invention is also characterized in that statistical data representing a state of occurrence of a disease is created, and the created statistical data is transmitted from the management device to a computer device used by a pharmaceutical manufacturer or seller.
[0013]
With this configuration, the manufacturer or the seller of the medicine can, for example, determine which disease is epidemic or a sign of epidemic in which area based on the statistical data indicating the occurrence of the disease provided from the management device. It is possible to quickly and accurately determine whether or not there is, thereby making it possible to smoothly increase the production or supply system of chemicals without delay.
[0014]

[0018]
Further, a drug information server DSV used by a pharmaceutical company or a drug sales company and an information provider server WSV can be connected to the web server MSV of the management center MS via a communication network NW.
[0019]
The drug information server DSV stores and manages attribute information on various drugs manufactured or sold by a pharmaceutical company or a drug sales company. Each time attribute information on a new product is stored, the attribute information of the stored drug is updated. Each time the attribute information is transmitted, the attribute information is transmitted to the web server MSV of the management center MC. Further, it is also possible to transmit the stored information in response to a request from the web server MSV.
[0020]
The information providing server WSV is operated and managed by, for example, a weather information company, and periodically distributes information on weather and the environment to the web server MSV of the management center MC. Further, in response to a distribution request from the web server MSV, it is also possible to transmit the latest information on weather and environment at that time.
[0021]
The communication network NW includes a public switched telephone network such as a PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network) and an integrated service digital network (ISDN), a mobile phone system, a PHS (Personal Handyphone), and a mobile system such as a Personal Handyphone. Network, a CATV (Cable Television) network, a private network, and a computer network represented by the Internet.
[0022]
Incidentally, the web server MSV of the management center MC is configured as follows. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration.
The web server MSV includes a CPU 10, and a program memory 30, a data memory 40, a communication interface 50, and an input / output interface 60 are connected to the CPU 10 via a bus 20.
[0023]
The communication interface 50 transmits and receives e-mails and information data to and from a communication partner terminal or server under the control of the CPU 10 according to a communication protocol defined by the communication network NW. The input / output interface 60 performs data input / output processing with the input device 70 and the output device 80 under the control of the CPU 10. The input device 70 includes, for example, a keyboard and a driver for an external memory such as a memory card. The output device 80 includes, for example, a display and a printer.
[0024]
The data memory 40 includes a medicine information database 41, a user information database 42, a distribution time table 43, a response information database 44, and a statistical information database 45.
[0025]
The drug information database 41 is used to store attribute information of a plurality of drugs provided from the drug information server DSV. The user information database 42 is used to store attribute information on a drug user. The delivery time table 43 is used for managing the taking period and the taking timing for each user who is taking the medicine.
[0026]
The response information database 44 is used to store response information returned from the user terminals UT1 to UTn in response to the transmission of a dose urging mail and questionnaire information described below. The statistical information database 45 includes response information from each user stored in the response information database 44, drug attribute information stored in the drug information database 41, and a user attribute stored in the user information database 42. It is used to store statistical information, which is created based on the information and indicates the state of occurrence of the disease.
[0027]
The program memory 30 includes, as necessary programs for realizing the functions according to the present invention, a medicine information management control program 31, a user information management control program 32, a dose urging mail distribution control program 33, and an emergency notification control. A program 34, an additional information notification control program 35, and a statistical information notification control program 36 are stored.
[0028]
The medicine information management control program 31 acquires the attribute information of the medicine from the medicine information server DSV, and stores the acquired attribute information of the medicine in the medicine information database 41. When the update information is sent from the drug information server DSV, the attribute information of the corresponding drug stored in the drug information database 41 is updated according to the update information. The attribute information of a drug includes a drug name and its product code, a component list, an indication, a usage and a dosage, precautions for use, and the like.
[0029]
The user information management control program 32, when a management registration request of the drug use status arrives from the user terminals UT1 to UTn and a proxy registration request arrives from the medication user terminals ST1 to STk, sends the user to the requesting terminal. To send attribute information. When the attribute information of the user is transmitted from the terminal in response to the transmission request, the attribute information is received and stored in the user information database 42. The attribute information of the user includes age, gender, disease name, and prescription information in addition to the user name and address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
[0030]
The taking reminding mail distribution control program 33 determines the taking period and the taking timing for each user who has managed and registered the use status of the medicine, and registers this in the delivery time table 43. Then, in accordance with the registration information in the distribution time table 43, a dosage prompting e-mail is created each time the dosage timing comes, and transmitted to the recipient terminal to be notified. The taking reminding mail includes a message for prompting the user to take the medicine, and information indicating the usage and dosage of the medicine.
[0031]
In addition, the taking reminding mail distribution control program 33 transmits the questionnaire information following the taking reminding mail. The questionnaire information includes a question for answering the transition of the symptoms of the user after the start of the use.
[0032]
The emergency report control program 34 receives the response of the user to the transmission of the above-mentioned reminding mail and the questionnaire information, and stores the received response information in the response information database 44. Then, based on the response information stored in the response information database 44, it is determined whether or not the user is taking the medicine properly, and if it is determined that the medicine is not being taken properly, the medication source is determined. The report mail is transmitted to the dosing person terminals ST1 to STk or the contact terminals ET1 to ETm. In addition, the transition of the symptoms of the user is monitored based on the response information stored in the response information database 44, and when the symptoms correspond to the preset worsening symptoms, the medication source terminals ST1 to STk of the medication source or The symptom notification mail is transmitted to the contact terminals ET1 to ETm.
[0033]
The additional information notification control program 35 predicts, for each user, the occurrence of a weather or environmental condition that affects the symptoms for each user based on the latest weather or environment information distributed from the information provider server WSV. Then, an e-mail for notifying the prediction result is transmitted to the corresponding taker terminal. In addition, when a prescription transmission request arrives from the user terminals UT1 to UTn, the additional information notification control program 35 reads prescription information from the attribute information of the corresponding user stored in the user information database 42, This prescription information is transmitted to the user terminals UT1 to UTn of the request source.
[0034]
The statistical information notification control program 36 is stored in the response information from the plurality of users stored in the response information database 44, the drug attribute information stored in the drug information database 41, and the user information database 42. On the basis of the user attribute information, statistical information representing the occurrence of the disease is periodically created. Then, the created statistical information is transmitted to the drug information server DSV of the pharmaceutical company or the drug sales company.
[0035]
Next, a description will be given of a method of managing the use of pharmaceuticals in the system configured as described above. 3 to 5 are diagrams showing an operation sequence of the system and an operation procedure and operation contents of the web server MSV.
[0036]
Each time the attribute information on the new product is stored, and each time the attribute information of the stored drug is updated, the drug information server DSV stores the attribute information and the update information of the new product on the web server of the management center MC. Send to MSV. Upon receiving the attribute information of the new product, the web server MSV stores the received attribute information of the new product in the medicine information database 41 in step 3a. When the update information arrives, the medicine attribute information stored in the medicine information database 41 is updated according to the content of the update information. As described above, the attribute information of a drug is composed of a drug name and its product code, a component table, an indication, a usage and a dosage, precautions for use, and the like.
[0037]
Also, every time the latest weather or environment information is obtained, the weather information company transmits the weather or environment information from its own server DSV to the web server MSV of the management center MC. In step 3b, the web server MSV updates the weather or environment information stored in the weather information storage unit in the data memory 40 to the latest received information. It should be noted that the weather or environmental information may be updated only when it changes, other than periodically, or may be updated in real time.
[0038]
In this state, for example, a person suffering from a cold purchases a medicine prescribed by a doctor, and then requests the administration center MC to take the medicine as shown in FIG. 3 from his / her terminal (for example, UT1). Assume that a registration request has been sent. Then, the web server MSV of the management center MC downloads, for example, a web page registration screen to the user terminal UT1 of the registration request source and prompts the user to input the user attribute information. On the other hand, when the user inputs his / her own attribute information, the input attribute information is transmitted to the web server MSV. The web server MSV stores the attribute information of the user sent from the user terminal UT1 in the user information database 42 in step 3c.
[0039]
The registration of the user attribute information is performed by the doctor who prescribes the medicine or the pharmacist who prepares and sells the medicine by using the electronic medical record and the prescription information registered in his / her own user terminal. It is also possible to do it instead. The user attribute information includes a user name and personal information such as an address, a mail address, an age and a sex, a disease name, and prescription information.
[0040]
When the user attribute information is registered, the web server MSV first determines a delivery time schedule for the user based on the user attribute information in step 3d. This delivery time schedule is constituted by a dose period and a dose timing. Subsequently, the web server MSV reads the attribute information of the corresponding drug from the drug information database 41 based on the prescription information included in the user attribute information. Then, based on this attribute information, medicine public information that can be understood by general users is created, and this medicine public information is transmitted to the user terminal UT1 of the registration request source. This medicine disclosure information is displayed on the display of the user terminal UT1. Therefore, the user can confirm the name of the medicine, the ingredient list, the indication, the usage and the dosage, the precautions for use, and the like from the displayed medicine disclosure information.
[0041]
Next, in step 3e, the web server MSV predicts the occurrence of a weather or environmental condition affecting each patient based on the latest weather or environmental information stored in the weather information storage unit. I do. For example, for a person taking a cold medicine, it is predicted whether the temperature and humidity will fall below a threshold. In addition, for a person taking a rhinitis drug, it is predicted whether or not the amount of pollen scattering exceeds a threshold value. In addition, for a person who is using, for example, a sunburn preventive other than the swallowing medicine, it is predicted whether or not the amount of solar radiation exceeds a threshold value. Then, when the weather or environmental condition to be noted is predicted, the web server MSV determines this in step 4a as shown in FIG. 4, and sends the caution information on the weather or environment to the corresponding user terminal by e-mail, for example. Send to
[0042]
In addition, the web server MSV monitors arrival of a prescription transmission request from the user terminals UT1 to UTn in step 4b. In this state, for example, when a prescription transmission request arrives from the user terminal UT1, the web server MSV checks the authentication of the requesting user, and then reads the attribute information of the requesting user from the user database 42. The prescription information included in the attribute information is transmitted to the user terminal UT1 of the request source. Therefore, even if the user takes a business trip without a prescription, for example, the user can obtain prescription information from the web server MSV at the business trip destination and purchase medicines according to the prescription.
[0043]
Further, in step 4c, the web server MSV monitors the arrival of the medicine taking timing based on the delivery time schedule for each user. Then, for example, when it is time to take the user who owns the terminal UT1, a notification is issued to the user to prompt the user to take the medicine. For example, if the usage specified for the medicine being taken is "take three times a day after meals", a take reminder e-mail will be created at an appropriate timing after a meal, and the prepared take e-mail will be sent to the user. It transmits to terminal UT1. Therefore, even if the user forgets the timing of taking the medicine, he / she is alerted to take the medicine by the above-mentioned taking e-mail, and as a result, the medicine can be taken without fail.
[0044]
In addition, in addition to the message urging the user to take the medicine, information indicating the usage and dose of the medicine is also inserted into the above-mentioned medicine e-mail. Therefore, the user can take the medicine without erroneous use and dosage of the medicine. This is particularly effective when the dose differs depending on the dose timing, or when a combination of a plurality of drugs is taken.
[0045]
Further, the above-mentioned take-up e-mail includes a reply address or URL for confirmation response. Then, after the user confirms the content of the taking reminder mail, if the user clicks the reply address or the URL, a confirmation response message is returned to the web server MSV. Upon receiving this confirmation response message, the web server MSV stores information to that effect in the response information database 44 in step 4d. If the acknowledgment message is not received within a predetermined time, information to that effect is stored in the response information database 44.
[0046]
In addition, the web server MSV transmits the questionnaire information after transmitting the above-mentioned reminding mail. In this questionnaire information, a plurality of answers describing the assumed symptoms are described in advance. The user selects from these answers the one closest to his current symptoms. Then, the number of the selected answer is returned to the web server MSV. The web server MSV stores the number of the returned answer in the response information database 44 in step 4d. Also, if there is no answer within a certain period of time, information to that effect is stored in the response information database 44.
[0047]
After storing the respective response information, the web server MSV subsequently determines whether or not there is an acknowledgment in step 5a as shown in FIG. 5, and determines the deterioration of the symptoms in step 5b. As a result of the above determination, if a certain user does not return a confirmation response of taking three consecutive times, the web server MSV generates a notification message indicating that there is no response confirmation. Then, based on the user attribute information in the user information database 42, the non-response notification message is sent to the user terminals ST1 to STk used by the doctor or pharmacist who has prescribed or prepared the medicine for the user by e-mail. Send by Also, the non-response report message is transmitted to the contact terminals ET1 to ETm as needed.
[0048]
On the other hand, it is assumed that the answer number returned from the user in step 5b is the answer number corresponding to the worsening of the symptoms. In this case, the web server MSV generates a message for reporting the deterioration of the symptoms. Then, based on the user attribute information in the user information database 42, the generated symptom notification message is transmitted by e-mail to a dosing terminal used by a doctor or pharmacist who has prescribed or prepared a medicine for the user. I do. The symptom notification message is also transmitted to the contact terminals ET1 to ETm as needed.
[0049]
It should be noted that which of the reporter terminals ST1 to STk and the contact terminals ET1 to ETm should be set in advance in the user attribute information of the user information database 42. The same applies to the case where an unacknowledged notification message is reported.
[0050]
The web server MSV determines the end of the taking period for each user in step 5c. This determination is made based on the user attribute information in the user information database 42. If the result of this determination is that it is still within the taking period, the process returns to step 3a shown in FIG. 3, and the above-described series of operations is repeated.
[0051]
On the other hand, when the dosing period for a certain user ends, the web server MSV generates a service end notification message, and sends the end message to the corresponding user terminals UT1 to UTn and the corresponding medication terminals ST1 to STk by e-mail. Send. Note that the service termination notification message may be added with a point of care in future treatment, and a telephone number or an e-mail address of a hospital and a pharmacy at a hospital.
[0052]
Further, the web server MSV monitors the counting timing of the statistical data in step 5d. Then, at the counting timing, in step 5e, statistical data representing the state of occurrence of the disease is created. The creation of this statistical data is based on the response information of a large number of users stored in the response information database 44, the drug attribute information stored in the drug information database 41, and the user stored in the user information database 42. This is performed based on the attribute information.
[0053]
For example, a large number of users are classified for each diseased disease, and the total number of patients and the number of patients for each symptom are calculated for each disease. Furthermore, the patients are classified by region, and the number of patients for each region is calculated. Then, the created statistical information is transmitted to the drug information server DSV of the pharmaceutical company or the drug sales company.
[0054]
Pharmaceutical companies or drug sales companies can grasp the current status of epidemics for each disease and even region based on the above statistical information sent periodically from the web server MSV, and can predict epidemics It becomes. Then, the analysis results can be used for making a plan for manufacturing or selling the pharmaceutical.
[0055]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described as an example in which the taking status of a medicine prescribed by a doctor is managed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is also applicable to the case of managing the taking situation of over-the-counter medicines purchased from pharmacies, and to the case of using medicines of other uses such as topical medicines, patches, eye drops, etc. be able to.
[0056]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the taking prompt message is received at the taker's terminal, the confirming response message is returned according to the taking operation of the taking person. However, the response menu of the taking prompt message includes not only “confirmation” but also a disease state response menu indicating a change state of the disease state, such as “recovery”, “no change”, and “deterioration”. Then, when the user selects a menu closest to his / her current medical condition from among these medical condition response menus, a response message including a menu indicating the selected medical condition is returned to the web server MSV. You may.
[0057]
In this way, the web server MSV can take appropriate measures according to the current medical condition of the user based on the medical condition response menu included in the received response message. For example, if the returned medical condition response menu is “recovery”, the transmission of the subsequent dose urging message is stopped. If the returned disease condition response menu is “deteriorated”, a notification message of the disease condition deterioration including contact information to the user is transmitted to the terminal of the doctor or pharmacist in charge.
[0058]
Furthermore, the pharmaceutical products targeted by the present invention can also include dietary supplements such as foods for specified health use and supplement foods, and cosmetics. That is, the present invention covers any drug having a prescribed use timing, usage and dosage.
[0059]
Further, the management target is not limited to the use timing of the medicine, but may include treatment / examination timing such as treatment timing such as dialysis and examination timing. Regarding specific implementation means, the same method and configuration as in the medication management described in the above embodiment can be used.
[0060]
Further, based on the statistical information notified from the web server MSV, information such as a disease outbreak prediction analyzed by the pharmaceutical company or the drug sales company is transmitted from the drug information server DSV of the pharmaceutical company or the drug sales company to the doctor or pharmacist. You may make it distribute to the dosing person terminals ST1-STk. In this way, it is possible to alert a doctor or pharmacist about the epidemic of the disease.
[0061]
In addition, the configuration of the management device, the management procedure and content of the drug use status in the management device, the configuration of the guide information and the response information, and the transmission means thereof can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention. .
[0062]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, in the present invention, the management device creates guide information for prompting appropriate use of a medicine for each user based on the attribute information of the medicine and the attribute information of the user stored in advance. The created guide information is transmitted from the management device to the terminal device used by the user during the period of use of the medicine by the user, and the user is notified.
[0063]
Therefore, according to the present invention, during the period of taking a medicine, guidance information for prompting appropriate use of the medicine is notified from the management device to the user's terminal device, so that the user forgets to take the medicine or delays in taking the medicine. Erroneous use and dosage can be prevented.
That is, it is possible to provide a drug use management method and a management device that enable a user to appropriately manage a use state of a drug.
