[Embodiment of device]

 FIG. 1 is a front view of a dosing schedule management tool according to an embodiment of the present invention. The main body of this tool is a wall-mounted board 100. In this example, the board 10 is made of thick paper, but any material such as a plastic plate, a vinyl sheet, a wooden board, and a metal plate may be used. The surface of the board 100 is classified into an upper part 10, a main body part 20, and a lower part 30. Although necessary headings and notes are described in the upper part 10 and the lower part 30, the upper part 10 and the lower part 30 are not essential for carrying out the present invention, and may be provided as needed. However, in practice, it is preferable to provide the upper portion 10 and the lower portion 30 in order to improve the design balance. Also, advertisements can be placed on the upper part 10 and the lower part 30. In this example, the hole 11 is provided on the upper side of the upper portion 10 so that the hole 11 can be hung on a wall for use.

The essential function of the management tool is performed by the main body section 20. In the main body 20, a plurality of compartments 21 arranged in a matrix are defined. In this matrix, a day of the week display 22 is provided as a heading of each row, and a dose time zone display 23 is provided as a heading of each column. Has been. Specifically, in this example, the blocks 21 are arranged in a matrix of 7 rows and 3 columns, and the day of the week display 22 indicates “Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat” for each of the seven lines. The dose time zone display 23 gives the headings “morning, day, night” for each of the three columns. With such a heading, each partition will correspond to a specific time zone on a specific day of the week.

A plurality of storage bags 50 are detachably attached to the board 100. In the figure, the storage bag 50 is attached to each of the four rows of “day, month, fire, water”. Here, each storage bag 50 stores one dose of medicine. In the example shown in the figure, the storage bag 50 in each of the three rows of "Month, Tuesday, and Wednesday" contains one dose of medicine, but each of the compartments in the row of "Sun" The accommodation bag 50 is shown in an already empty state.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the relationship between one compartment 21 on the board 100 and one accommodation bag 50 attached to this compartment. As the accommodation bag 50, a transparent vinyl or polyethylene bag is used, and as shown in the drawing, the upper part is folded and used. One of the detachable tapes (so-called “magic tape” or “Velcro tape”) T 1 is fixed to the upper part of the compartment 21, and the detachable tape is attached to the upper part of the back surface of the accommodation bag 50. The other T 2 of the tape is fixed. The pair of tapes T1 and T2 are removable tapes, and by attaching and detaching the tapes, the accommodation bag 50 can be removably attached to the one section 21 of the board 100.

In the section 21, as shown in FIG. 2, a mark M indicating “already taken” is displayed. In this example, the mark M is formed by displaying the three characters "Done" in the ellipse, but the characters such as "Drinked", "Drank", "Done", and "Completed" , Any other shape or symbol may be used as long as it is a mark indicating “done”. As described above, since a transparent bag is used as the storage bag 50, when the storage bag 50 is attached to the compartment 21 in an empty state, the mark M can be visually recognized through the storage bag 50. . On the other hand, when the storage bag 50 is attached to the compartment 21 with one dose of drug stored therein, the drug M will completely or partially hide the mark M.

The user of this device first carries out the work of accommodating a single dose of medicine in each accommodation bag 50 at the time when the medicine to be taken is distributed from a hospital or the like. As mentioned above, recently, packaging of pharmaceuticals has progressed, and it is often necessary to simultaneously take multiple types of tablets, capsules, and powdered medicines in a single dose. In this way, if each storage bag 50 contains the medicine for one dose independently, it is unlikely that mistakes will occur in taking the medicine, and any medicine in this one storage bag 50 will be taken. It is convenient because it can be done. In this way, when the accommodation work in the accommodation bag 50 is completed, each accommodation bag 50 may be attached to each compartment 21 corresponding to the day of the week and the time of day when it should be taken. For example, if you have prepared 12 storage bags 50 for 4 days from Sunday morning, you can attach the storage bags 50 to each section of the 4 rows of “Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed”. Good.

After the accommodation bag 50 is attached to the board 100 in this way, the board 100 may be presented on a place where it is easily noticed, for example, by hanging it on the wall of the living room. Then, remove the storage bag 50 attached to each compartment at the appropriate time on the relevant day of the week, take the medicine stored in it, and return the empty storage bag 50 to its original state. Good. FIG. 1 shows a state in which a total of 3 doses have been finished until Sunday night. Since the accommodation bag 50 is emptied in the already-taken section, the mark M is visually recognized through the transparent accommodation bag 50, and it can be confirmed at a glance that the medicine M has been taken. In this way, by using this device, it is possible to always check the medication state, so that it is possible to prevent problems such as forgetting to take the medicine and repeated administration.

[0016] In general, there are drugs that should be taken "before meals" and drugs that should be taken "after meals". Therefore, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the main heading "morning, day, night" and the subheading "before meal / after meal" are displayed as the dosage time zone display 23. Depending on the medicine to be taken, the user can erase either "before meal" or "after meal" with a writing instrument and use it. By using such sub-headings, it is possible to make the time to take the drug more clear. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, if the label entry fields L1 and L2 are provided on the surface of each accommodation bag 50, additional information such as the drug name can be written in the label entry fields L1 and L2. It is convenient and convenient. The label entry fields L1 and L2 can be formed by printing with an ink having a property that writing can be easily performed with a writing instrument such as a pencil or a ballpoint pen.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein, and can be implemented in various other forms. For example, in the above-described embodiment, each row corresponds to a day of the week, and each column corresponds to a dosing time zone to form a vertically-long device as a whole. It is also possible to correspond to each of the dose times and form a horizontally long tool as a whole. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, three time zones of “morning, noon, and night” are defined as the administration time zones, but depending on the drug, “every 6 hours” or “every 8 hours” is defined. Some of them are specified to be taken at time intervals, so you may choose to display four types of time zones, such as "morning, noon, evening, and midnight," or "○ hour, ○ hour, ○ hour, ○ You may leave it blank so that you can write it later, such as "time".

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the accommodation bag 50 is attached to each of the compartments 21 of the board 100 by the pair of tapes, but if it can be detachably attached, it may be attached by any other means. You may go. For example, it is possible to form a hole in each of the compartments 21 and hook a hook provided on the accommodation bag 50 side into the hole.

In addition, in the above-mentioned use example, the empty storage bag 50 is returned to the board 100 after taking, but the empty storage bag 50 does not necessarily have to be returned, and is stored together in another place. You may do it. In this case, a storage box may be attached to the lower portion 30 of the board 100, and the empty storage bags 50 may be collectively stored in this storage box.
