The medicament management device includes a main body 200 on which the cartridge 100 and the cartridge 100 are mounted. The cartridge 100 is mountable and detachable to the main body 200. The cartridge 100 includes a case 110, a rotating body 120, and a stopper 130. The case 110 has a cylindrical structure. A plurality of insertion holes 111 are formed in an upper portion of the case 110 and an outlet 112 is formed in a lower portion of the case 110 to correspond to one of the plurality of insertion holes 111. Hereinafter, it is assumed that there are a total of seven insertion holes 111, and for convenience of explanation, A holes, B holes, C holes, D holes, E holes, F holes, and G holes are given. The discharge port 112 may be formed to correspond to the G hole among the seven insertion holes 111. The rotating body 120 is an object accommodated in the case 110 and rotating around a vertical axis. A plurality of loading grooves 121 may be formed around the rotating body 120. The plurality of loading grooves 121 are formed to correspond to the plurality of insertion holes 111 formed in the case 110 so that the inserted bottles 140 inserted through the insertion holes 111 can be stacked up and down. Here, the medicine container 140 may include a container 141 for receiving the medicament in the inner space and a cap 142 for covering the container. It is preferable that the lower portion of the cylinder 141 has a round shape. This is to prevent the stopper 130, which will be described later, from being caught by the rotating body 120 when it rotates.

The stopper 130 is fixedly mounted to the case 110 in correspondence with the discharge port 112. The stopper 130 is disposed at the inner position of the case 110 to prevent the dropping of the container 140 into the lowest loading space above the discharge port 112 And is fixedly mounted. Therefore, when the discharge port 112 and the G hole are formed to correspond to each other, the mouth inserted into the G hole is caught by the stopper 130 and can not fall into the lowest loading space above the discharge port 112. Since the rotating body 120 needs to be rotated about the vertical axis, a locking preventing groove 122 is formed around the stopper 130 to prevent the stopper 130 from being caught, as shown in FIG. The cartridge 100 having such a structure can be discharged through the discharge port 112 one by one as the rotator 120 rotates.

Further, the cartridge 100 may further include a gate 150. The gate 150 serves to open and close the discharge port 112 and may be positioned between the discharge port 112 and the lowest loading space above the discharge port 112. The gate 150 can be opened or closed under the control of the main body 200, which will be described later. When the gate 150 is opened, the medicine bottle 140 moved to the lowest loading space above the discharge port 112 is discharged through the discharge port 112 as the rotating body 120 rotates. That is, the gate 150 serves to prevent unconditioned discharge through the discharge port 112 as long as the container 140 is moved to the lowermost loading space above the discharge port 112.

Furthermore, the cartridge 100 may further include a protrusion 170 formed on the rotating body 120. The protrusion 170 is fitted in the groove formed in the case 110, and serves to fix the rotating body 120 without shaking. The cartridge 100 may further include a hole blocking portion for blocking the insertion holes 111. The hole blocking portion may be a cover 160 covering the upper portion of the case 110 as illustrated in FIG. As another example, the hole blocking portion may be a rotary shutter for opening and closing the insertion holes 111. [ Such a hole blocking portion can be locked and unlocked by a key means or the like. Or when the cartridge 100 is mounted on the main body 200, the hole blocking portion and the main body 200 may be electrically connected to each other and controlled by the main body 200. For example, the main body 200 can block or unblock the insertion holes 111 from the outside by controlling the hole blocking portion only when recognizing the user. This allows the unauthorized person to freely insert or withdraw the dispenser, and prevents the dispenser from being mixed or withdrawn when the cartridge 100 is tumbled or turned over.

The cartridges 100 as described above may be accommodated with medicines 140 for only one patient, and medicines 140 for a plurality of patients may be accommodated together. In one embodiment, when the cartridges 100 for one patient are accommodated in the cartridge 100, the cartridges 140 may be sequentially accommodated in accordance with the order of dosing. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the canisters 140 can be sequentially accommodated in the G-slot direction starting from the A groove corresponding to the A hole and the G groove corresponding to the G hole, starting from the lowest loading space. In another embodiment, when the cartridges 100 are accommodated together with a plurality of medicines 140 for a plurality of patients, the medicines 140 of the patients can be separately accommodated for each of the loading grooves 121 as shown in FIG. 6 . For example, in the A-groove, the B-groove, and the C-groove corresponding to the A-hole, the B-hole and the C-hole, medicines of the patient 1 are loaded, and D-grooves corresponding to the D- Patient 2 can be loaded in the grooves, the F grooves, and the G grooves.

A group can be a family member living together or a group of patients living together in a single room. In this case, the patient management information includes management information such as dose time information for each patient belonging to the group.

The driving unit 240 may be a driving motor for rotating the rotating body 120 of the cartridge 100 around a vertical axis. The driving unit 240 is driven and controlled by the control unit 250. The controller 250 is a controller that controls the drug management apparatus as a whole, and performs an overall control role through a control program stored in the storage unit 230. The control unit 250 controls the driving unit 240 to discharge the medicine container loaded in the cartridge 100 to the outside. The control unit 250 controls the driving unit 240 to rotate the rotating body 120 when the time for dosing is confirmed through the patient management information, so that the discharged object can be discharged through the discharge port. 5, the control unit 250 controls the rotation of the rotating body 120, assuming that the G holes and the discharge ports 112 of the cartridge 100 are positioned in a corresponding manner, So that the A groove is moved to the upper side of the discharge port 112 of the cartridge 100. As a result, the medicine container 140 loaded in the lowest loading space of the A groove is discharged through the discharge port 112. 6, the control unit 250 is required to take the patient at the time of patient-specific administration by rotating the rotating body 120 according to a predetermined rule To be discharged through the discharge port. If the gate 150 is formed in the cartridge 100, the control unit 250 controls the gate 150 to be opened after the discharged object can be moved to the lowermost loading space above the discharge port 112, To be discharged.

Furthermore, the main body 200 may further include an identification unit 260. The identification unit 260 may include at least one of a cartridge identification unit 261 and a can identification unit 262. The cartridge identifying section 261 identifies the cartridge 100. [ The cartridge identification unit 261 may be an RFID reader or an NFC reader and reads tag information attached to a predetermined position of the cartridge 100 when the cartridge 100 is mounted on the main body 200 To identify the cartridge. The control unit 250 determines whether the cartridge 100 is properly delivered through the identification information confirmed by the cartridge identification unit 261. [ For the sake of judgment, the patient management information may include cartridge identification information. Accordingly, the control unit 250 can compare the identification information confirmed by the cartridge identification unit 261 with the cartridge identification information included in the patient management information to determine whether the cartridge 100 is normally delivered. If the result of the determination indicates that the data has been delivered incorrectly, the control unit 250 may warn the user through the input / output unit 210. In addition, the controller 250 generates a message indicating that the cartridge has been delivered incorrectly and transmits the message to the designated destination address through the communication unit 220. The destination address specified here may be a server (control center).

The carton identification unit 262 can be a scanner, a reader, or the like, which can identify the identification information given to the can dispenser 140. The can dispenser identification unit 262 can identify the identification information of the can dispenser 140 moved to the lowest loading space above the discharge port 112. In the medicine box 140, code type identification information may be printed, or a tag containing identification information may be attached. In one embodiment, the can dispenser identification information may be information that enables to identify the dosing time. For example, distinguish morning, lunch, and evening. In another embodiment, the medicament identification information may be information that enables identification of both the patient and the time of use. The reason why the can dispenser identification unit 262 is disposed is that the canisters 140 loaded on the cartridge 100 may not be stacked according to a predetermined rule considering the disposal order. The control unit 250 determines whether the object is a discharge object bag through the baggage identification information confirmed by the baggage identification unit 262. [ For the sake of judgment, the patient management information may include the medicine container identification information for each time of taking. Accordingly, the control unit 250 can compare the identification information confirmed by the medicine container identification unit 262 with the medicine container identification information included in the patient management information to determine whether the medicine container is the discharge target medicine container. As a result of the determination, if the discharge object is a weak bottle, the control unit 250 controls the gate 150 to open. Otherwise, the controller 250 controls the driving unit 240 such that the other canister 140 is positioned in the lowest loading space above the discharge port 112. [

Furthermore, the control unit 250 can generate an alarm through the input / output unit 210 based on the patient management information. To this end, the patient management information may further include additional alarm time information, and the controller 250 may generate an alarm at the corresponding time based on the alarm time information. Otherwise, the control unit 250 may generate an alarm based on the dose time information. The alarm output through the input / output unit 210 may be an alarm indicating that the medicine has been discharged, an alarm for recognizing the user before discharge, an alarm for performing a biopsy, have.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the control unit 250 discharges the dispenser every predetermined time based on the patient management information, but discharges the dispenser only when the dispenser recognizes the patient before dispensing. In other words, only those with legitimate authority will be able to receive canines. To this end, the main body 200 may further include a recognition unit 270. The recognition unit 270 is for recognizing the patient, and may include one or more biometric authenticator. For example, the recognition unit 270 may include a fingerprint authentication module, an iris authentication module, or a face authentication module including a camera.

In one embodiment, the control unit 160 discharges the medicine container only when the recognition unit 270 recognizes the patient.

When the patient inputs a dispensing command through the input / output unit 210, the control unit 250 outputs the patient recognition request message through the input / output unit 210. The patient then takes the necessary actions for recognition. As another example, the above process is not required. Instead, the control unit 250 generates an alarm upon reaching the time to discharge the medicine according to the patient management information, which may include a message requesting patient recognition. Accordingly, the patient takes action necessary for recognition, and the control unit 250 discharges the dispenser every prescribed time, but dispenses the dispenser only when the patient is recognized. In another embodiment, the recognition unit 270 is not included. Instead, the control unit 250 discharges the information only when the information input through the input / output unit 210, for example, the password matches the preset password. That is, the user is recognized by the input information.

Examples of the biometric diagnosis device 281 include a blood glucose meter, an HbA1c meter, a cholesterol meter, and a liver disease meter. In addition, a cardiovascular disease diagnostic device, a cancer diagnosis device, a Realtime PCR device, a molecular diagnostic device, an oxygen saturation measuring device, For example. The diagnostic unit interlocking unit 282 is configured to interlock with one or more biometric diagnostic apparatuses and forms a wired or wireless communication channel with the biometric diagnostic apparatus so that the biometric status data measured by the biometric diagnostic apparatus can be transmitted to the medication management apparatus.

On the other hand, the biometric data obtained from the biometric diagnostic device 281 or the diagnostic device interaction unit 282 may be newly measured data, but it may be data measured and accumulated so far. In this case, the controller 250 stores the accumulated biometric data in the storage unit 230, and transfers the accumulated biometric data to the server.

On the other hand, when the main body 200 includes the biomedical diagnosis unit 280, the control unit 250 performs the corresponding operation based on the patient management information. Here, the patient management information may further include additional information in addition to the above-described dose management information, and the additional information may be alarm time information for requesting a biometric diagnosis to the patient. The biopsy time can be determined by a doctor, such as after a predetermined time before taking medicine, after a predetermined time after taking medicine, and the predetermined biopsy time information is included in the patient management information.

Further, the main body 200 can provide a black box function for the doctor's prescription. Specifically, the controller 250 matches the biometric data with the doctor's prescription data and stores the matched data in the storage unit 230. Here, the prescription data can be obtained from the server. That is, the control unit receives the prescription data from the server through the communication unit 220, stores the same in the storage unit 230, and stores the matching data together with the biometrics data. At this time, the biometric status data may be accumulated biometric status data. And such matching stored information may be provided externally for use as evidence in legal disputes relating to a prescription.

On the other hand, the medication management device can provide the interaction function between the patient and the expert by using the LCD, the camera, the microphone, the speaker and the communication module. Therefore, the patient can ask counselors, doctors, pharmacists, and other specialists for counseling, help, and emergency requests.
