In addition, the medication management device 100 may include a physically isolated space for storing medicines to be medicated, and a door structure for opening and closing the space.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the description of FIGS. 1 and 2.

The embodiments described below need not be separately performed, but can be implemented in combination with each other. It should also be noted that the embodiments described below can be implemented in combination with the embodiments of the present invention described in the description of Figs. Hereinafter, it is assumed that each step of the method according to the embodiments of the present invention is performed by the medication management device 100. [ Specifically, under the control of the control unit 150 of the medication management device 100, the following medication administration method is executed.

3 is a flowchart of a medication management method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the medication management device 100 is a smart medicine box.

Referring to FIG. 3, the medication management device 100 may detect a medication attempt input from a user for a preset period of time (S10). At this time, the predetermined period may be, for example, a period of one week. At least one of the administrator of the user or the medication management device 100, the EMR system terminal, the administrator of the medication management system, It can be set from one principal. Here, the predetermined period may be a period for analyzing the mode of the user's medication attempt. In this case, the period may be referred to as a preset first period in order to distinguish the period from the next period.

The medication attempt input from the user may be, for example, an open request of the medicine box inputted to the input unit 120 of the medication management apparatus 100. [ The medication management device 100 may detect such user input when a user inputs an input to a button or the like in order to open a medication-equipped medication in the medication management device 100.

The medication management device 100 may determine whether the detected medication attempt is a normal medication attempt based on a predetermined medication schedule for the user (S20). That is, in the above example, the drug administration management apparatus 100 can determine whether the request for opening the drug statement input by the user is a request that matches a pre-set medication time on a predetermined medication schedule and a prescribed medication frequency .

If it is determined in step S20 that the medication attempt is an abnormal medication attempt, the medication management device 100 may count an abnormal medication attempt (S30). That is, in step S20, the medication management device 100 can determine that the input of the user is a request that does not conform to the medication schedule. For example, when the user's medication attempt entered at a time zone out of a predetermined time range from a preset time is detected, the medication management device 100 may determine that the user's medication attempt is an abnormal medication attempt. Alternatively, even if the prescribed number of medicines have been performed, when the medicinal drug attempt is input from the user again, the medicinal-substance management apparatus 100 may judge this as an abnormal medicinal drug attempt. The medication management device 100 can count the number of times of detection of such abnormal drug administration attempts.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S20 that the medication attempt is a normal medication attempt, the medication management device 100 may count a normal medication attempt (S35). That is, in step S20, the medication management device 100 may determine that the input of the user is a request conforming to the medication schedule. For example, when a user's medication attempt entered in a time zone within a predetermined time range from a preset time is detected, the medication management device 100 may determine the user's medication attempt as a normal medication attempt. Alternatively, when only a medication inquiry is made according to a predetermined number of medication attempts, and the additional medication attempt is not input from the user on a daily basis, the medication management device 100 stores the medication attempt inputted by the user as a predetermined number of times Of the patients. The medication management device 100 may count the number of times of detection of such a normal use attempt.

Next, the medication management device 100 can determine the user's rating based on the count result of the abnormal drug use attempt (S40). That is, based on the number of times of detection of the abnormal drug use attempt counted in step S30, the drug substance management apparatus 100 can determine the user's rating. To this end, the medication management device 100 may previously store one or more intervals that match the counted abnormal drug attempt. At this time, each section included in one or more sections may be a section corresponding to the user's rating.

For example, a user's rating may include Class A, Class B, and Class C. Each grade may be a grade that is divided into sections of the number of times of the counted abnormal drug attempt. For example, when the number of abnormal medications is 7 or less, the medication management system 100 can set the grade of the corresponding user to the A rank. If the abnormal drug count is within the range of 8 to 14 times, the medication management device 100 can set the class of the corresponding user to the class B level. In addition, for the section in which the abnormal drug count is 15 or more, the drug administration management device 100 may be set to the C rating corresponding to the class of the corresponding user.

In this way, the drug administration management apparatus 100 can determine the user's rating on the basis of the information on the user's rating by the detected number of abnormal drug use attempts.

Information on the class of the user by the number of times of detection of the abnormal drug use attempt will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

The medication management device 100 may store the determined user's rating in the storage unit 140. [

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the drug substance management apparatus 100 may use the information on the normal drug use count counted in step S35 when determining the user's rating in step S40.

Specifically, the drug administration apparatus 100 may calculate the difference between the abnormal drug administration attempt counted in step S30 and the normal administration drug agent counted in step S35.

The medication management device 100 can determine whether the calculated result belongs to at least one predetermined grade interval. For example, when the abnormal drug administration attempt is five times and the normal use attempt is two times, the medication management device 100 may generate the results three times by calculating the difference between the abnormal use attempt and the normal use attempt. In such a case, the medication management device 100 may determine the user's rating as the A rank, which is the rank of the user for the interval of one to seven times, as in the above example.

On the other hand, after the user's grade is determined, the medication management device 100 may output the output information matched to the determined grade through the output unit 130 (S50). At this time, the medication management device 100 may output only the output information matched to the user's rank among the output information. The description of the output information and the output object of the medication management device 100 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively.

FIG. 4 is an exemplary diagram for explaining predetermined output information of the medication management device 100, which is referred to in some embodiments of the present invention. The output information may include information on the degree of the user according to the number of abnormal drug use detection attempts.

In FIG. 4, the user's grade includes A grade, B grade, and C grade, and each grade is set for each interval of abnormal drug use attempt detection times.

Referring to FIG. 4, the color of the output information may be set differently for each class of the user. For example, when the user's rating is class A, the color of the output information is green, the class of user is class B, the color of output information is yellow, and if the user's class is class C, May be set to a red color.

The output information may also include settings for each class of output objects. For example, in the case of class A, output objects a1, a2 and a3 may be set. For class B, output objects b1 and b2 may be set, and for class C, output object c1 may be set. An output object is a graphic object that can visually stimulate a user, and can be an icon, an image, an emoticon, a character, and text. At this time, the text may include text written in a plurality of languages. An example of an output object is described below with reference to FIG.

A plurality of output objects may be set in one class. The medication management device 100 can display different output objects differentially according to the number of abnormal drug use attempt detection actually detected in the interval of abnormal drug use attempt detection times corresponding to the user's rating.

For example, the medication management device 100 can display the output object a1 when the user's grade is class A, when the abnormal drug use attempt detection number is once, and when the user's abnormal drug use attempt is detected. In the case where the number of abnormal drug administration attempts is two or more and five or less, when the abnormal drug administration attempt is detected, the drug administration apparatus 100 can display the output object a2. When the abnormal drug administration attempt detection number is 5 or more and 7 or less, the medication management device 100 can display the output object a3 upon detection of an abnormal drug administration attempt.

The medication management device 100 can determine which interval the interval counted last in the step S30 belongs to and display the corresponding output object.

On the other hand, the output information may include settings for the output frequency of each class. That is, for a predetermined time, for example, for one minute, the medication management device 100 can repeatedly display the output object for a predetermined frequency. Thus, as the medication management device 100 repeatedly displays the output object, the output object can exhibit a flashing effect.

Describing step S50 in detail, the medication management device 100 can inquire preset output information based on the grade determined in step S40.

The medication management device 100 can identify the output object on the inquired output information. For example, when the user's grade is determined to be the A rank, the medication management device 100 can determine whether any of outputs a1, a2, and a3 or a1, a2, and a3, You can identify the object.

In addition, the medication management device 100 can identify the output color and the output frequency matched to the class of the user determined from the inquired output information. For example, the output color may be the color of the output object or the background color of the output object. The medication management device 100 can display the identified output object with the identified output color for a predetermined period of time.

For example, it is assumed that the user's rating is C rank and the preset time is one minute. In this case, referring to Fig. 4, the medication management device 100 can display the output object c1 in red for 15 minutes for one minute.
