Description

{APPARATUS TO SUPPORT TAKING MEDICINE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a medicament-supporting device, and more particularly, to a medicament-supporting device for providing medicines stored in a smart medicament which is easy to carry,

Recently, most modern people are taking drugs due to various stresses and diseases in a fiercely competitive society. In addition, taking medicines for the purpose of treating various injuries and injuries, and recently taking medicines for reasons such as maintaining health and slender body. In particular, the average life span of humans has increased, and as the population ages, it becomes more and more consumed by the elderly population. At this time, the kinds of medicines are very diverse, and the way of taking them varies depending on the purpose of each medicine.

On the other hand, if you have a health problem and visit a hospital, your doctor will issue a prescription depending on your health condition. The prescription may include dosage information on the name of the drug, dose, number of doses, or days taken. In addition, the physician can increase the dosing effect by determining the time for taking a drug at a predetermined time interval according to the composition of the drug and the duration of the drug effect according to the dose information as described above.

In other words, the medicine prescribed by the hospital or the pharmacy for the patient's illness is generally determined by the condition of the patient and the type and the nature of the medicine, so that the taking time and the taking period are determined. If the medicine is taken for a certain period of time, It is necessary to take the dose according to the dosing period, so it is helpful to treat the pathology, so when you go on a trip, business trip or going out, you need to carry the necessary medicine in your bag or handbag.

At this time, medicines usually prepared in hospitals or pharmacies are packed in a pack of medicines separately for one day or several days for convenient use. However, such a drugstore has a problem that it is not hygienic because it is highly likely to be contaminated with dirty substances when it is moved or stored for a long period of time.

Also, if the patient is living in a rhythm of busy modern society, it is not easy to remember to take the medication at the time of going out and take it according to the prescribed time of taking the medication. At this time, if the medication can not be taken at the time of taking the medication or if the prescribed medication time is missed, the medication dose may be lowered, and the medicine may be misused after the prescribed medication period.

In particular, in the case of children who lack time or lack of memory, elderly people often forget to take medication on time, as well as take time and dose, There is a problem that the effect is markedly deteriorated or the pathology becomes worse.

For example, according to previous studies, it is known that about one-third of hypertensive patients who have been prescribed medicines by visiting a hospital completely stop treatment within a few months, and even among those who are receiving treatment, A large number of patients are not taking medication as prescribed.

On the other hand, the degree of compliance by the patient as prescribed by the physician is called compliance. Drug compliance is significantly different depending on the target group and situation, but in foreign studies, 50 ~ 60% 5 ~ 10% is poor, and 30 ~ 45% is in the middle, but it is known to show very large variation. At this time, the biggest part of the reason for the poor compliance is that I can not imagine whether I forgot to take medicine or medication. In particular, elderly patients are more likely to adhere to the drug than younger patients, and if the cognitive abilities decrease, the probability of errors in self-administration increases.

Therefore, the patient needs to be instructed to take the medication in accordance with the prescribed dosing schedule at the time of taking the medication. However, clinics and pharmacies that prescribe and dispense medicines can only provide information on the time and dosage of medication when preparing medicines. In subsequent medicines, they will have to rely on patients' memories.

Thus, there is a need for a system that can provide effective management of dosing, including dosing times.

However, since only the alarm signal for notifying the taking time is generated, the alarm timer is not able to hear the alarm signal when the surroundings are disturbed due to the noise, There is a problem that it is not possible to distinguish exactly what medication should be taken every time the alarm signal sounds when carrying medicine.

In addition, there has been developed an on-line time-of-day alarm method for maximizing the therapeutic effect of a patient by directly notifying the patient of the time of taking or taking the patient through various communication means, but only a function of notifying the patient of taking or taking the time However, there is a problem in that it can not be managed according to the characteristics of various medicines because it does not provide a method of managing the administration in connection with the storage place where the medicine to be actually taken is stored. In addition, there is a problem in that it is not convenient and economical to carry when going out.
