Description

The present disclosure relates to a pocket sheet that is combined with a calendar.

Overprescription of pharmaceuticals has become a social problem in recent years as the elderly population increases. In response to these problems becoming more serious, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare began introducing a family pharmacist system in fiscal 2016.

The family pharmacist refers to the patient's medicine notebook, keeps track of the medicines received at various medical institutions and pharmacies, as well as over-the-counter medicines, and determines the combination of medicines that the patient should take on a daily basis.

The pocket sheet described in Patent Document 1 is useful for supporting medication intake under the guidance of a family pharmacist. This pocket sheet is attached to the monthly calendar so as to cover its surface, and includes pockets for accommodating drugs, one for each day of the calendar.

The family pharmacist places each drug prescribed to the patient in a pocket corresponding to the date of prescription, and then hands the pocket sheet to the patient. When the patient returns home, he or she can take out and take the medication stored in the pocket corresponding to that day each day. Such use allows the family pharmacist to administer prescribed medications to the patient according to his or her own decisions.

Utility model registration No. 3228170

By the way, each pocket of the pocket sheet described in Patent Document 1 is provided corresponding to each day of one month on a monthly calendar. Therefore, if there is a patient who goes to the hospital on a monthly basis, and a month's worth of medication that should be taken in one month is prescribed in the middle of the target month, for example, March 18th, it will be attached to the calendar for March. By using a pocket sheet, medicines to be taken can be stored in the corresponding pockets for each day from March 18th to the end of the month (the end of the month).

However, the pocket sheet attached to the March calendar does not have pockets corresponding to each day of the next month, that is, April, so there are no pockets that correspond to the days of April 1st to 17th. Unable to contain drugs.

For drugs that cannot be stored in the patient's pocket, there is no guarantee that the patient is taking them correctly, and there is a problem in that the family pharmacist cannot provide thorough instructions on how to take the drug.

Note that, although an example in which a prescribed medicine is stored in the pocket has been described above, the present invention is not limited to medicine. For example, the same problem as described above may occur when individual sachets of health supplements such as supplements are placed in each pocket corresponding to the date on which they are to be taken.

The present disclosure has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and even if drugs, etc. are prescribed to be taken on multiple days over the next month in the middle of a month, it is possible to store those drugs, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pocket sheet that can be used as a calendar, a calendar set that combines a pocket sheet and a calendar, and a method for supporting medication taking.

In order to achieve the above object, the pocket sheet according to the present disclosure includes a transparent first sheet that covers the first side of a sheet-like monthly calendar in which numbers indicating each day of the target month are written on the first side. In the above, a pocket sheet is provided with a first pocket at each location corresponding to an area where numbers indicating each date are written on the first side of the calendar, and a second pocket is provided on the back side of the first side of the calendar. Numbers indicating each day of the month following the target month are written on the side, and the number covering the second side of the calendar is written in each place corresponding to the writing area of the number indicating each date on the second side. A transparent second sheet provided with a second pocket is joined to the first sheet at its edges except for a part, and the calendar is attached to the part of the edges which are not joined. It is characterized in that an opening for insertion is included between the first sheet and the second sheet.

Further, the part of the unjoined edge includes the upper edge of the first sheet and the second sheet, and the opening is formed between the upper edge of the first sheet and the upper edge of the second sheet. , it may be a portion where the bonding is not performed.

Furthermore, each pocket provided on the first sheet and/or the second sheet includes seven pockets arranged in a horizontal direction, corresponding to each day of the week, and the seven pockets are composed of the seven pockets. A flap may be provided at a position directly above the row of pockets, which can change between a position of closing the openings at the top of the seven pockets and a position of opening them.

Further, the pocket includes a front part and a back part, the left sides of the front part and the back part are joined to each other, the right sides to each other, and the bottom sides to each other, and an opening is provided in the upper part, and the pocket is formed by forming an opening on the first sheet. Each of the pockets on the second sheet has only the upper part of the back surface joined to the first sheet, and the entire portion below the upper part hangs down, and/or each pocket on the second sheet has Alternatively, only the upper part of the back surface part may be joined to the second sheet, and the entire part below the upper part may be in a hanging state.

Furthermore, the calendar is formed in a tabular format with 5 rows and 7 columns on each of the first and second surfaces, and the plurality of first pockets provided on the first sheet are also The plurality of second pockets provided in the two sheets may also be arranged in a form of 5 rows and 7 columns corresponding to the form of the calendar.

The calendar may be a single sheet with each day of the target month written on the front side and each day of the following month written on the back side, or each day of the target month is written only on the front side of one sheet. A first single-sided calendar on which is written and a second single-sided calendar on which each day of the next month is written only on the front side of one sheet may be stacked with their back sides on top of each other.

Further, at least one of the first sheet and the second sheet may be provided with a flap that can change between a position that closes the opening at the top of the pocket and a position that opens the opening.

A calendar set according to the present disclosure includes the pocket sheet described above, numbers indicating each day of the target month are written on the first side, and numbers indicating each day of the month following the target month are written on the second side. A sheet-shaped monthly calendar, the calendar being inserted between a first sheet and a second sheet of the pocket sheet through an opening in the pocket sheet.

The drug taking support method according to the present disclosure includes a sheet-like sheet in which numbers indicating each day of the target month are written on the first side, and numbers indicating each day of the month following the target month are written on the second side. A first step of inserting a monthly calendar between the first sheet and the second sheet of the pocket sheet, and a prescribed drug among all pockets provided in the first sheet and the second sheet. and a second step of storing each of the medicines in pockets corresponding to the dates on which they are to be taken.

With the above configuration, if drugs for one month from March 18th are prescribed in the target month, for example, the middle of March, the drugs to be taken on each day from March 18th to March 31st are Of all the pockets on the first sheet that covers the first side of the calendar where each date of March is listed, each pocket corresponding to the days from the 18th to the 31st can be stored, and each pocket from April 1st to the 17th can be stored. Of all the pockets of the second sheet covering the second side of the calendar in which the dates of April are written, medicines to be taken on April 1st can be stored in the pockets corresponding to days from the 1st to the 17th.

Embodiments of a pocket sheet and a calendar set according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[1] Configuration of pocket sheet FIG. 1(a) is a perspective view of the pocket sheet 3 when viewed from the front side, and FIG. 1(b) is a perspective view of the pocket sheet 3 when viewed from the back side. It is. Here, the X-axis indicates the left-right direction (horizontal direction) when the pocket sheet 3 is viewed from the front, the Y-axis indicates the up-down direction (vertical direction), and the X-axis indicates the depth direction. FIGS. 1A and 1B show the posture of the pocket sheet 3 (hereinafter referred to as "vertical posture") when the pocket sheet 3 is used by hanging it from a wall (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the pocket sheet 3 is made by stacking a rectangular first sheet 11 and a second sheet 12 of the same size and shape, as described below. A calendar 2 (FIG. 4(a)) can be inserted between both sheets 11 and 12.

The first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are each made of a transparent flexible material, such as soft polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC), and have a thickness of, for example, 0.3 mm. Note that the material of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 is not limited to PVC, and other resins such as polyethylene (PE) or sheet-like materials other than resins may also be used. Further, the thickness is not limited to 0.3 mm, and may be smaller or larger than this. The material, thickness, size, shape, etc. are not limited to one material or numerical value, and the same applies to each member such as a pocket described later.

As shown in FIG. 1(a), the surface 111 of the first sheet 11 has seven pockets 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 corresponding to each day of the week from Sunday to Saturday. Pocket groups 29 of 5 rows and 7 columns are provided, each consisting of 5 rows of pockets (weekly pockets) 20 arranged in the horizontal direction and arranged at regular intervals in the vertical direction. Each of the pockets 21 to 27 in each stage has an opening 28 at the top, through which a sachet (medicine) 50 (FIG. 7) can be accommodated. Details of the pockets 21 to 27 will be described later.

For each weekly pocket 20, a sheet-like horizontally long flap 30 is provided on the surface 111 of the first sheet 11 at a position directly above the weekly pocket 20. The flap 30 has a thickness of, for example, 0.4 mm, has a rectangular shape that is slightly longer in the left-right direction than the corresponding weekly pocket 20, and has a base end 301 in the transverse direction joined to the surface 111 of the first sheet 11. One end is a fixed end, and the other end 302 is a free end.

The flap 30 is made of a transparent flexible material such as hard PVC or PE, and the free end 302 side can be bent in the vertical direction with respect to the base end 301. The length (width) of the flap 30 in the lateral direction is determined to be such that the flap 30 can close the openings 28 of the pockets 21 to 27 when the flap 30 is folded downward. Although thermal welding is used here to join the flap 30 to the surface 111 of the first sheet 11, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, high frequency welding, adhesive bonding, etc. can also be used.

The flap 30 can be bent to change between a position in which it closes the opening 28 of each pocket 21 to 27 (FIG. 1(a)) and a position in which it opens (FIG. 7). Specifically, when a user such as a pharmacist or a patient lifts the free end 302 side of the flap 30 from a position in which the flap 30 closes the opening 28, the position changes to a position in which the opening 28 opens, and the free end 302 side is lowered. Then, it returns to the position of closing the opening 28. In the case of the vertical position, when the user releases the lifted flap 30, the free end 302 side gradually lowers due to the action of gravity, and eventually returns to the position closing the openings 28 of each pocket 21 to 27. It has become.

By providing such a flap 30, when the user folds and carries the calendar set 1 (FIG. 9) with medicine 50 stored in each pocket 21-27, the opening 28 of each pocket 21-27 can be closed. The closed state can be maintained, and the medicine 50 can be prevented from popping out from each pocket 21 to 27.

If the medicine 50 pops out from each of the pockets 21 to 27 during transportation, when the folded pocket sheet 3 is unfolded after the pocket sheet 3 has been transported, it is difficult to find out in which pocket the medicine 50 that flew out was stored. Although it is easy for a situation to become unclear, such a situation can be avoided by providing the flap 30.

On the surface 111 of the first sheet 11, an upper pocket 31 is provided above the pocket group 29, and a lower pocket 32 and a spare pocket 33 are provided below the pocket group 29. ing. A label insertion pocket 34 is provided on the surface of the lower pocket 32, and another spare pocket 35 is provided on the surface of the spare pocket 33. Each of the pockets 31 to 35 is made of a transparent flexible material such as soft PVC or PE, has a thickness of 0.15 mm, and is joined by heat welding or the like.

The upper pocket 31 is used to store a label 311 (FIG. 5(a)) on which the patient's name and daily dosing period are printed, but it may also store other labels or sheet pieces.

The lower pocket 32 stores the medicines 50 stored in the pockets 21 to 27 that are to be taken on the same day, sorted by time of taking (after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, before bedtime, etc.). The lateral length is long to ensure storage space for each of the four stages, from after breakfast to before bedtime.

The label insertion pocket 34 is used to accommodate a label 341 (FIG. 5(a)) in which emergency contact information is written. Here, the emergency contact information includes the contact information of the family doctor, the contact information of the family pharmacy, the contact information of the care manager, and the contact information of the family member.

The spare pockets 33 and 35 are used to separately store items to be carried when visiting a medical institution, such as a health insurance card, patient's card, and medicine notebook. The lower pocket 32, the label insertion pocket 34, and the spare pockets 33 and 35 are referred to as a lower pocket group 39.

Furthermore, two through holes 118 and 119 are formed in the upper part of the first sheet 11 for passing a hanging string 80 (FIG. 6) used for hanging the pocket sheet 3 in the vertical position.

Next, the configuration of the second sheet 12 will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 1(b), the surface 121 of the second sheet 12 has the same size, shape, and material as the pocket group 29, flap 30, upper pocket 31, and lower pocket group 39 in the first sheet 11. are provided in the same arrangement position, that is, in the same layout as when the first sheet 11 is viewed from the front. Therefore, it can be said that the second sheet 12 itself is obtained by inverting the first sheet 11 (FIG. 1(a)), on which the pocket group 29 to the lower pocket group 39 are provided, horizontally without changing its top and bottom in the vertical position. . From this, it can be understood that the pocket sheet 3 is composed of two first sheets 11 whose back surfaces are overlapped.

The first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are overlapped, and only a portion of their edges are joined by heat welding or the like.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing joint locations in each of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12. As shown in the figure, on the back surface 112 of the first sheet 11, the edges excluding a part including the upper side 110, specifically, a part of the left side 113 and a part of the right side 114 (the part colored in gray), On the back surface 122 of the second sheet 12, the edges excluding a part including the upper side 120, specifically, a part 123 of the left side and a part 124 of the right side (portions colored in gray) are the joining points.

Also, on the back surface 112 of the first sheet 11, in the region 109 between the pocket group 29 and the lower pocket group 39, an end 115 on one side and an end on the other side with the center interior 117 in the left-right direction in between. 116 (portion colored in gray) and one side of the region 109 between the pocket group 29 and the lower pocket group 39 across the center interior 127 in the left-right direction on the back surface 122 of the second sheet 12. The end 125 and the other end 126 (portion colored gray) are also joint locations.

One pocket sheet 3 is manufactured by performing a step of joining the joint parts 113 to 116 of the first sheet 11 and the joint parts 123 to 126 of the second sheet 12 corresponding to each joint part 113 to 116. . The pocket sheet 3 has a bag-like structure in which a part of the edges of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are connected by joining, and a part of the edge that is not joined, specifically, the upper edge 110. , 120 and the central interior 117, 127 become the opening of the bag-shaped pocket sheet 3.

The opening formed by the upper sides 110 and 120 is referred to as an upper opening 130 (FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b)), and the opening formed by the center interiors 117 and 127 is referred to as a lower opening 131 (FIG. 1(a)). ), (b)).

[2] Structure of Calendar FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing how one sheet-like calendar 2 is inserted from above into the upper opening 130 of a bag-like pocket sheet 3 with its top facing up. be. The calendar 2 is A2 size, and has a rectangular shape with a width C1 of 420 mm and a vertical length L1 of 594 mm. The width C2 of the upper opening 130 of the pocket sheet 3 is slightly larger (for example, about 1 to 3 mm) than the width C1 of the calendar 2, and the vertical length L2 from the upper opening 130 to the lower opening 131 of the pocket sheet 3 is slightly larger (for example, about 1 to 3 mm) than the length L1 of the calendar 2.

The calendar 2 has the dates of the target month, here the current month (March) written (printed, etc.) on the front side 5 (first side) of one sheet, and the target month on the back side 6 (second side). This is a monthly double-sided calendar with each day of April listed. In the following, it is assumed that the front side 5 of the calendar 2 lists the current month, and the back side 6 lists the next month.

4(a) is a perspective view showing the front surface 5 of the calendar 2, and FIG. 4(b) is a perspective view showing the back surface 6 of the calendar 2. FIGS. 4A and 4B show the relationship when the same calendar 2 is left and right reversed.

As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), on both the front side 5 and back side 6 of the calendar 2, display frames 8 including areas in which numbers 7 indicating each date are written are arranged horizontally for one week. At the same time, the display frame 8 for the second and subsequent weeks is arranged in a tabular format consisting of five rows and seven columns, shifted downward in units of weeks. The dimensions of each display frame 8 can be, for example, 47 mm in width x 97 mm in height, but are not limited to this, and may be other dimensions. The calendar 2 is made of flexible paper, but other materials such as cloth may be used as long as they are not easily see-through.

In FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), on the front side 5 and back side 6 of the calendar 2, the day of the week and date are displayed below the rectangular year/month areas 90, 92 (areas surrounded by broken lines) where the year and month are written. The layout is such that the rectangular date areas 91 and 93 (areas surrounded by broken lines) are located. The year and month areas 90 and 92 are located in the area from the upper side 95 of the calendar 2 to the lower position H in the vertical direction, and the date areas 91 and 93 are located in the area from the position H to the lower side 98.

The year and month areas 90 and 92 have the same size (horizontal x vertical size), and similarly, the date areas 91 and 93 have the same size. Further, the sizes of the display frames 8 including the number 7 indicating each date in the date areas 91 and 93 are also the same.

Furthermore, the date area 91 is located at a distance D to the right from the left side 96 on the front side 5, and the date area 93 is located at a distance D to the right from the left side 97 (corresponding to the right side of the front side 5) on the back side 6. It is located in the same position. In other words, in the character month table for March written on the front side 5, the size and shape of each display frame 8 are not changed, and the numbers indicating the year, month, and day are changed to those for April. The letters of the month are the same as the monthly table.

This is because when the calendar 2 is inserted through the upper opening 130 of the pocket sheet 3 and housed in the pocket sheet 3, each display frame 8 described on the surface 5 of the calendar 2 and the pocket sheet 3 The pockets 21 to 27 provided on the first sheet 11 of the calendar are in a one-to-one positional relationship, and each display frame 8 described on the back side 6 of the calendar 2 and the second sheet 12 of the pocket sheet 3 are in a one-to-one positional relationship. This is to ensure that the pockets 21 to 27 provided in the pockets are in a one-to-one positional relationship. A combination of the pocket sheet 3 and the calendar 2 housed therein is called a calendar set 1.

[3] Configuration of calendar set FIG. 5(a) is a diagram showing a state in which the surface 5 of the calendar 2 is clearly visible through the transparent first sheet 11 when the calendar set 1 is viewed from the front. FIG. 5(b) is a diagram showing a state in which the back surface 6 of the calendar 2 is clearly visible through the transparent second sheet 12 when the calendar set 1 is viewed from the rear. The top and bottom of the calendar 2 and the top and bottom (top and bottom) of the pocket sheet 3 match.

In the example of the calendar set 1 shown in FIG. They correspond one-to-one to each pocket 21. One display frame 8 indicating another date (for example, March 5th) corresponds one-to-one to the pocket 27, and each display frame 8 for other dates also corresponds one-to-one to a separate pocket. I can see that it is compatible.

Similarly, in FIG. 5(b), one display frame 8 indicating the date written on the back side 6 of the calendar 2 (for example, April 3rd) is located in one pocket 21 provided on the second sheet 12 of the pocket sheet 3. There is a one-to-one correspondence. One display frame 8 indicating another date (for example, April 9th) corresponds one-to-one to the pocket 27, and each display frame 8 for other dates also corresponds one-to-one to a separate pocket. Compatible. Note that for each of the front side 5 and back side 6 of the calendar 2, the number indicating the date in the display frame 8 is positioned above the upper part 289 of the pockets 21 to 27 for any date.

By using the calendar set 1 configured in such a manner that one pocket of the pocket sheet 3 is associated with one date for each character month table on the front side 5 and back side 6 of the calendar 2, it is possible to Furthermore, even if drugs to be taken on multiple days over the next month are prescribed all at once, it becomes possible to correctly indicate to the patient when to take each drug. The reason for this will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 shows the dates on which each of the plurality of drugs 50 should be taken when drugs 50 for one month from March 18th to April 17th are prescribed at once in the middle of March. It is a figure which shows the example of the case where it is accommodated in each pocket of the pocket sheet 3 corresponding to. It is preferable that a pharmacist perform this work of storing one month's worth of each medicine 50 in each pocket immediately after prescription of the medicine 50, but the work is not limited to this, and can also be performed by the patient himself/herself.

The figure also shows how the hooks 81 and 82 at both ends of the hanging string 80 are hooked into the through holes 118 and 119 of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 of the pocket sheet 3. By hooking the center 89 of the hanging string 80 to a wall hook (not shown) on the wall, the calendar set 1 can be hung on the wall in a vertical position.

As shown in Calendar Set 1 on the left side of the figure, medicines 50 for March correspond to each day from the 18th to the 31st among all pockets 21 to 27 on the first sheet 11 of pocket sheet 3. It is already housed in each pocket. Therefore, the patient only has to take out the medicine 50 stored in the pocket corresponding to each day from March 18th to March 31st and take it.

On April 1st, the patient reverses the left and right sides of calendar set 1 hanging on the wall, as shown in calendar set 1 on the right side of the figure. Change the position so that the month and minute letters face the front. Regarding medicine 50 for April, immediately after prescription in mid-March, out of all pockets 21 to 27 of the second sheet 12 of pocket sheet 3, it is stored in each pocket corresponding to each day from the 1st to the 17th. It has been completed.

For this reason, the patient only has to take out the medicine 50 stored in the pocket corresponding to that day and take it one day at a time from April 1st to April 17th. In this way, even if a drug is prescribed to be taken on multiple days over a period of one month from the middle of the month to the middle of the next month, the patient will be required to take the 50 drugs on the days that they are supposed to take both this month and the next month. You can take it without making any mistakes.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of one weekly pocket 20 provided on the first seat 11. As shown in FIG. In this figure, the flap 30 is shown in an upwardly raised position so that the openings 28 of the pockets 21 to 27 can be seen. In addition, in the figure, some of the pockets 21 to 27, 24 and 25 in this case, are omitted, and the areas r1 to r7 occupied in the horizontal direction by each display frame 8 for one week of the calendar 2 are omitted. It is shown in The width of each region r1 to r7 is, for example, 47 mm.

As shown in the figure, the left end pocket 21 has a front part 280 and a back part 287, and the back part 287 includes a left part 281 and a right part 282 connected to the right side thereof. Each surface has a rectangular shape. In the pocket 21, the left side of the front part 280 and the left side of the left part 281 are joined, the right side of the front part 280 and the right side of the right part 282 are joined, and the lower side 283 of the front part 280 and the lower side of the back part 287 are joined. By joining, the left side, right side, and lower side are closed, and the upper side of the front part 280 and the upper side of the back part 287 are not joined, and the opening 28 is formed on the upper side. Each side is joined by, for example, welding or adhesion. The same goes for the pockets 22 to 26 on the right. The pocket 27 at the right end consists of a front part 280 and a back part 287, which are closed on the left side, right side, and bottom side, and have an opening 28 on the top side.

The left end of the pocket 21 coincides with the left end of the region r1 of the display frame 8 of the corresponding calendar 2, and the right end protrudes from the region r1 to the right by a length R1.Similarly, the pockets 22 to 27 are Its left end coincides with the left end of the regions r2 to r7 of the display frame 8 of the corresponding calendar 2, and its right end protrudes to the right by lengths R2 to R7 from the regions r2 to r7. In this way, the pockets 21 to 27 partially overlap with adjacent pockets.

Due to the right edges of the pockets 21 to 27 protruding from the areas r1 to r7, the widths W1 to W7 of the pockets 21 to 27 are smaller than the width of the areas r1 to r7 of the display frame 8 by the distance R1 to R7 where the right edges protrude. It's also big. Each width W1 to W7 is, for example, 75 mm, and each distance R1 to R7 is, for example, 28 mm. Thereby, the medicine 50 contained in the bag having a width larger than the display frame 8 for each date on the calendar 2 can be put into the pocket without folding it.

In the pocket 21, only the right end portion 285 (corresponding to the lower side of the right surface portion 282) of the lower side 283 of the front portion 280 is joined to the left end portion of the lower side 283 of the front portion 280 of the pocket 22 adjacent to the right. , the entire right side part 282 of the pocket 21, except for its lower side, is spaced apart from the right and adjacent pockets 22 and can move freely with respect to the front side 280 of the pocket 22. . Regarding the pockets 22 to 26, the entire portion 286 of the right side portion 282 is separated from the adjacent pocket on the right.

Compared to a configuration in which the entire right surface portion 282 of the pockets 21 to 26 is attached to the front surface portion 280 of the adjacent pocket on the right, the opening 28 can be widened in the depth direction (Z-axis direction), and the pockets 21 to 26 In addition, it becomes easier to store and take out the medicine 50 in a square-shaped bag, the medicine 51 in a stick-shaped bag, and the like.

Each of the pockets 21 to 27 is joined to the first sheet 11 only at the upper portion 289 of its back surface portion 287, for example, for the pockets 21 to 26, only the upper edge of the left surface portion 281 is joined to the first sheet 11. As a result, each of the pockets 21 to 27 has its entire lower side hanging from the upper part 289.

As shown in FIG. 6, when no medicine is stored in the pocket 21, for example on March 13th, the transparent pocket 21 is transmitted through the area below the date number in the display frame 8 of the calendar 2. I can see 77. However, when the medicine 50 is stored in the pocket 27, for example on March 19th, the medicine 50 hides the area 77 within the display frame 8 of the calendar 2, making the area 77 difficult to see.

If, for example, a memo such as precautions for taking medication is written by a pharmacist or the like with a pen in the area 77 within the display frame 8 of the calendar 2, the user can easily By lifting the lower side of the pocket 27, the memo written in the area 77 can be easily checked visually. The above configuration is the same for other weekly pockets 20 as well. Note that instead of having the pockets 21 to 27 hanging on both the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12, for example, on at least one of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12, the entire left surface portion 281 of each pocket is suspended. It can also be configured to be joined to the first sheet 11. Furthermore, although the pockets on both the left and right sides partially overlap each other, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a structure may be adopted in which the pockets do not overlap.

When replacing the calendar 2 housed in the pocket sheet 3 because it has become old, pull the old calendar 2 downward through the lower opening 131 shown in FIG. 3 while hanging the calendar set 1 on the wall. After taking it out, a new calendar 2 can be placed in the pocket sheet 3 through the upper opening 130. Alternatively, after the old calendar 2 is pulled out from the upper opening 130, a new calendar 2 can be accommodated in the pocket sheet 3 through the upper opening 130. During this work, at the same time, insert your hand into the pocket sheet 3 through the lower opening 131, pinch the lower end of the new calendar 2 with your fingers, and pull it downward. The operation of inserting the pocket sheet 3 into the pocket sheet 3 through the opening 130 can be performed more smoothly.

[4] Method for assisting family pharmacists in taking medication using pocket sheet 3 Below, steps (Step 1) to (Step 8) of the medication support method carried out by the pharmacist will be explained in order.

(Procedure 1) When a patient comes to the store and brings a prescription issued by a doctor and a medicine notebook, the pharmacist dispenses the medicine to be prescribed to the patient according to the prescription and medicine notebook. Here, an example will be described in which one month's worth of drugs is dispensed at once.

(Step 2) The pharmacist divides the dispensed medicines for one month by month and day when they should be taken.

(Step 3) The pharmacist inserts the calendar 2 in which the dates of this month and the next month are formed in a tabular format through the upper opening 130 of the pocket sheet 3. As a result, calendar set 1 is configured.

(Step 4) The pharmacist performs the work of storing the medicines divided into months and days into the pockets corresponding to the dates of this month and the next month among all the pockets 21 to 27 of the calendar set 1. Figure 6 shows an example where a pharmacist stores 50 drugs in each pocket corresponding to each month and day during a month from the 18th of this month (March) to the 17th of the next month (April). ing. The medicine is stored in the pocket by lifting up the flap 30 located directly above the pocket and inserting the medicine through the opening 28 of the pocket.

(Step 5) When the pharmacist finishes storing one month's worth of drugs in calendar set 1, the pharmacist prepares two labels 311 (Fig. 6) and puts them on each label 311 for this month and next month. Enter the patient's name and the time of administration, for example, morning, morning, night, before going to bed, after a meal, before a meal, between meals, or upon waking up. Then, each label 311 that has been filled out is stored in the upper pocket 31 corresponding to this month and the next month.

In addition, if the times for taking multiple drugs in a day are divided into, for example, morning, morning, night, and before going to bed, the following (A) to (E) should be given to the patient. We can also provide similar guidance.

(A) First, take out multiple medicines to be taken today from one pocket corresponding to that day. (B) Place each of the plurality of medicines taken out into a pocket in which the time to take the medicine (morning, morning, etc.) is written among the pockets 201 to 204 provided in the belt-shaped sub-pocket 200 shown in FIG. It is accommodated through its opening 28. The sub-pocket 200 can be an accessory to the calendar set 1 or the pocket sheet 3.

Pockets 201-203 have the same structure as pockets 21-23 shown in FIG. 7, and pocket 204 has the same structure as pocket 27 shown in FIG. The sub-pocket 200 is formed by connecting these four pockets 201 to 204 in the horizontal direction.

(C) The sub-pocket 200 is accommodated in the lower pocket 32 (FIG. 6) of the calendar set 1. (D) Each time it is time to take the medicine throughout the day, the patient takes out the medicine stored in the pocket corresponding to the medicine time from the sub-pocket 200 and takes it. (E) Repeat this task every day.

(Step 6) Next, the pharmacist prepares two labels 341 (Figure 6), writes the contact information and name of the family doctor, family pharmacy, care manager, etc., and responds to this month and next month. It is accommodated in the label insertion pocket 34.

(Step 7) When the above operations are completed, the pharmacist folds the calendar set 1 as shown in FIG. In the example shown in the figure, the calendar set 1 is folded at three positions 191, 192, and 193 in the longitudinal direction into valley folds, so that the lower end 194 of the calendar set 1 is on the inside and the upper end 195 is on the outside. It has been folded three times. By folding the opening 28 of each pocket 21-27 with the corresponding flap 30 covered, the drug 50 is prevented from popping out from the opening 28 of each pocket 21-27.

(Step 8) The pharmacist binds the folded calendar set 1 with belts 351 and 352 as shown in FIG. 10, and hands it to the patient. The patient can carry the calendar set 1 bound by belts 351 and 352 in a carrier bag 353 or the like.

After receiving the calendar set 1 from the pharmacist, the patient returns home, removes the belts 351 and 352 from the calendar set 1, opens the calendar set 1, and uses the hanging string 80 as shown in FIG. A calendar set 1 is hung on the wall of the home with the front side 5 of the calendar 2 on which the month table in letters for this month (for example, March) is written facing the front side.

Then, the patient repeats taking out the medicine 50 from the pocket corresponding to that day among the pockets 21 to 27 of the calendar set 1 and taking it every day.

In the next month (for example, April), the patient turns the calendar set 1 upside down as shown in FIG. Then, every day from April 1st, the user takes out the medicine 50 from the pocket corresponding to that day and continues taking it.

Immediately before or after taking the last medicine, the patient visits the doctor again to receive a prescription, and then brings the prescription, his/her own medicine notebook, and the current calendar set 1 to the pharmacist. The pharmacist replaces the calendar 2 of the calendar set 1 brought by the patient with a new one. Then, the above (step 1) to (step 8) are executed.

[5] Summary As explained above, according to this embodiment, a plurality of drugs to be taken from the end of the month to the first day of the next month are displayed on each day on the front side 5 (this month) of the calendar 2 of the calendar set 1. They are stored in the corresponding pockets 21 to 27 and the pockets 21 to 27 corresponding to each day on the back side 6 (next month) of the calendar 2, and presented to the patient. The family pharmacist can provide thorough guidance to the patient, and the patient can take the medicine according to the combination of medicines determined by the family pharmacist. This will lead to reducing health damage caused by polypharmacy and promoting social health.

Furthermore, the resin pocket sheet 3 that makes up the calendar set 1 can be reused even if the month changes, and only the calendar 2 needs to be replaced with a new one, which is one of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). It can also contribute to the goal of reducing the amount of plastic waste that is being disposed of.

[6] Modifications Although the present disclosure has been described above based on the embodiments, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the following modifications may be implemented. can.

(6-1) In the above embodiment, a configuration example in which one horizontally long flap 30 is provided for one weekly pocket 20 consisting of seven pockets 21 to 27 has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this. . For example, one flap 30 may be provided for one pocket.

Further, although the flaps 30 are provided on both the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, if the longitudinal length of the pockets 21 to 27 is increased to make it difficult for drugs to fall out of the pockets, the flap 30 may not be provided, or at least one of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 may be On the other hand, it is also possible to provide the flap 30 on the first sheet 11 and/or the second sheet 12.

(6-2) In the above embodiment, the size of the calendar 2 is A2 size, but it is not limited to this, and it may be a standard size paper or an irregular size paper. The dates are indicated in such a way that the area in which the numbers indicating each date are written on the calendar 2, in the above example, the area surrounded by the display frame 8 corresponds one-to-one with each of the pockets 21 to 27 on the pocket sheet 3. The relative positional relationship between the arrangement position of the number writing area and the arrangement position of the pockets 21 to 27 is set in advance. Note that the calendar 2 may also be configured, for example, without providing the display frame 8 and in which numbers indicating dates are arranged. In this configuration, for example, the number indicating the date and the area around the number can be used as the writing area for the number indicating the date.

In addition, as the monthly calendar 2, one in which each day of the target month is written on the front side 5 of one sheet and each day of the following month is written on the back side 6 is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there is a first one-sided calendar in which each day of the target month is written only on the front of one sheet, and a second one-sided calendar in which each day of the next month is written only on the front of another sheet. A calendar 2 in which each day of the target month is written on the front side 5 and each day of the following month is written on the back side 6 can also include a single-sided calendar with the back sides stacked on top of each other. The front surface of the first single-sided calendar whose back surfaces are overlapped corresponds to the front surface 5 of the calendar 2, and the front surface of the second single-sided calendar corresponds to the back surface 6 of the calendar 2.

(6-3) In the above embodiment, a configuration example in which the pockets 21 to 27 in each of the first sheet 11 and second sheet 12 of the pocket sheet 3 are arranged in 5 rows and 7 columns has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this. , for example, a configuration of 6 rows and 7 columns.

In the above configuration of 5 rows and 7 columns, the number of pockets 21 to 27 provided on the front and back surfaces can be reduced compared to the configuration of 6 rows and 7 columns, making it possible to achieve a reduction in size and weight. On the other hand, for example, for months whose first day is Saturday, specifically January and October 2022, for each day from the 1st to the 29th of that month, each pocket 21 to 20 in 5 rows and 7 columns. 27 can handle it. However, the 30th and 31st, which are the 6th row, cannot be accommodated, so pockets 21 and 22 corresponding to the first Sunday and Monday of the next month are allocated.

On the other hand, in the configuration of 6 rows and 7 columns, each pocket 21 to 27 on the first sheet 11 (or second sheet 12) of the pocket sheet 3 corresponds to all days from the first day to the end of the month in any month. It will be possible. On a monthly basis, you can check at a glance that you have taken all the medications you need until the end of the month. In addition, since the month replacement and the turning over of the calendar set 1 can be performed synchronously, it is difficult to forget to turn over the calendar set 1, which is convenient for the patient. The size and number of pocket rows can be determined by taking into consideration which of the following is prioritized: compactness, light weight, and ease of checking medication on a monthly basis.

(6-4) In the above embodiment, the pocket sheet 3 is provided with the upper opening 130, and the calendar 2 can be inserted through the upper opening 130, but the present invention is not limited to this. The pocket sheet 3 has a structure in which a first sheet 11 and a second sheet 12 whose back surfaces overlap each other are joined at the edge excluding a part including an opening for inserting a sheet-like calendar 2 between the sheets. It is sufficient if it is formed of a bag-like body. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the top of the pocket sheet 3 is closed, and only parts 113 and 123 of the left sides of the outer peripheral edges of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are open as openings. In this configuration, the calendar 2 is inserted between the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 from the opening on the left side of the pocket sheet 3.

Further, although the width C2 of the upper opening 130 of the pocket sheet 3 is slightly larger than the width C1 of the calendar 2, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a flexible calendar 2 rolled up laterally into a cylindrical shape is inserted between the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 through the upper opening 130, and then the rolled calendar 2 is unfolded and used. In such a case, the width C2 of the upper opening 130 may be made slightly smaller than the width C1 of the calendar 2.

(6-5) In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which one month's worth of medicine 50 is prescribed in the middle of the month, but the invention is not limited to this. A batch of 50 drugs was prescribed to be taken on multiple days spanning from the end of the month to the first day of the next month, for example, from the first day of the last week of a certain month to the last day of the second week of the next month. Even in such a case, the same effect as above can be obtained.

(6-6) In the above embodiment, the case where the family pharmacist dispenses the medicine 50 and hands it to the patient is explained as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after each sachet of health supplements such as supplements is stored in each pocket 21 to 27 corresponding to the date on which it should be taken, each bag of health supplements such as supplements is stored in each pocket 21 to 27 corresponding to the day on which it should be taken. The above calendar set 1 can also be applied to situations where a sealed bag is taken out from a pocket corresponding to a date.

It goes without saying that the materials, sizes, shapes, and various numerical values of each of the above-mentioned members are not limited to those mentioned above, and suitable materials can be determined depending on the configuration of the calendar set 1.

Moreover, the contents of the above embodiment and the above modification may be combined.

The present disclosure can be applied to pocket sheets that are combined with calendars.
