The front view which shows the example of a different reception of the portable terminal device by embodiment of this invention. It is a front view which shows the further different reception example of the portable terminal device by embodiment of this invention.

  Next, the best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an outline when the present invention is implemented in the medication management system presented in the above publication. For example, a server 2 installed in a pharmacy and a mobile terminal device 3 such as a mobile phone held by an individual patient are shown in FIG. It is possible to communicate bidirectionally via the Internet. The communication network is not limited to the Internet, and may be a communication network unique to a mobile phone company, an existing telephone line, or the like. The mobile terminal device is not limited to a mobile phone, and includes a known tablet-type mobile terminal device.

  The server 2 stores drug information 21 and patient information 22. In the drug information 21, for each drug, medication usage such as dosage and dosage, precautions, efficacy, side effects, the appearance time of the interaction with foods including other drugs and health food, initial symptoms, etc. are registered. In the information 22, age, sex, medical history, drug history, treatment course, contact information of the mobile terminal device 3, etc. are registered for each patient.

  The patient registers his / her patient information 22 such as the telephone number and e-mail address of the mobile terminal device 3 such as a mobile phone, medical history, and medical history in the server 2 installed in the pharmacy. And when a patient visits a medical institution and a prescription is issued from a doctor, he goes to the pharmacy and receives the medicine.

  When a pharmacist or the like inputs a patient name and a prescription drug name to the server 2 at the pharmacy, the control device calculates the usage and dose of the drug, and refers to the patient's past medical history and drug history. Then the safety of the drug is checked. When safety is confirmed, a drug is given to the patient, and various communications are transmitted to the portable terminal device 3 held by the patient during the use period of the drug.

  That is, when the time of use of the medicine is reached, characters and pictures of the medicine are displayed from the pharmacy server 2 to the patient's portable terminal device 3 by voice through a telephone line or through e-mail or the like as shown in FIG. An image or the like is displayed on the display screen 31 to notify the type and amount of the medicine to be used.

  Therefore, when the patient transmits to the server 2 that the medicine has been used in accordance with the instruction, the patient's medication history is recorded in the patient information 22 in the server 2.

  In addition, notification to the patient of drug information such as precautions, dosage methods, side effects, interactions, etc. of each drug is notified from the server 2 together with or separately from the notification, and in that case, For example, such important information is displayed in red and the normal drug information is displayed in black, so that the patient can be alerted by displaying or expressing the information separately from normal drug information (not shown). ).

  In addition, the time when the drug effect, the side effect and the interaction appear varies depending on the drug. However, according to the present invention, from the server 2 to the portable terminal device 3 of the patient in anticipation of the time when the effect and side effect of the administered drug are likely to occur. An inquiry is sent to

  FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of the inquiry items displayed on the display screen 31 of the patient's mobile terminal device 3 through e-mail or the like. In this embodiment, for example, pain as a side effect is reduced to that extent. In total, for example, the image scale is divided into 10 levels. Therefore, the patient determines his / her symptom at the time when the side effect or the like that was interrogated occurs very easily according to the image scale, and the result is displayed using, for example, a touch panel or an input key using the image scale displayed on the screen. The result is transmitted to the server 2 by bidirectional communication.

Then, the server 2 to which the inquiry result is transmitted determines the symptom stage at the time when the side effect or the like transmitted from the portable terminal device 3 occurs, and collates it when it exceeds a predetermined stage. The pharmacy that has received the notification uses the response means such as the server 2 to contact the patient again. For example, the pharmacist, the doctor, and the patient are informed. Can talk directly and answer questions.

  In this way, medication management can be performed in the same way as when the patient is hospitalized, such as an elderly person living alone, a patient living a busy daily life, or a patient undergoing home care, etc. Medication management can be performed reliably. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten the length of hospital stay and spread day-tripping operations. In particular, in the present embodiment, since it is automatically performed by the server 2, for example, even when it is necessary to take the medicine at midnight, Can be notified without bothering.

  FIG. 4 shows a different embodiment of the inquiry screen. This embodiment is displayed on the inquiry screen 31 for a medicinal effect that relieves pain such as morphine for a painful symptom, for example. The symptom can be judged using an image scale simulating a patient's pain symptom (in this embodiment, the side effect is pain) such as a face scale by Wong-Baker. Accordingly, since the patient can quickly and accurately determine the symptoms and transmit them to the server 2, the patient's condition and drug efficacy can be confirmed in real time.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is an example and may be an image scale suitable for the patient to confirm the symptom. Further, in the present embodiment, cases where pain occurs as a symptom such as a side effect or a case of a medicinal effect having a pain relieving effect are shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, nausea, rash, etc. It is possible to make an inquiry based on an image scale of symptoms (a plurality of symptoms) for which application is considered in advance according to the medicine.

  In addition, this embodiment particularly shows a case where the present invention is implemented as a medication management system for an inquiry by a portable terminal device after taking a prescribed medicine, but after taking the medicine. The image scale is used as an inquiry transmitted from the server to the patient in the inquiry in the device, and can be applied to, for example, a general inquiry performed on a patient in a medical institution.
