In describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known technology may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the drug taking reminder IOT system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a medicine case 100, a hospital terminal 10, a patient terminal 20, an acquaintance terminal 30, and a service server ( 200) may be included.

Specifically, the medicine case 100 is formed with a plurality of spaces 101 in which prescribed medicines are accommodated, and a sensor unit 110 may be provided.

The sensor unit 110 may include an infrared or laser sensor, a weight sensor, and a wireless device (not shown).

That is, the laser sensor is provided in each of the spaces 101 of the medicine case 100 to detect the presence or absence of the medicine.

The weight sensor is provided in each space 101 of the medicine case 100 to detect the weight of the medicine in a preset dosage amount.

The wireless device (not shown) may include a wireless device (not shown) provided to communicate wirelessly with the service server 200.

At this time, the wireless device (not shown) may refer to a communication device that serves to receive a value sensed from the infrared or laser sensor and the weight sensor and transmit it to the service server 200. Among the wireless communication technologies developed recently It can be provided as one.

The hospital terminal 10 may be installed with an app that stores information on prescribed drugs and patient information, and may be a PC or mobile terminal that manages information on prescribed drugs of each patient.

The patient terminal 20 is a terminal owned by the patient who will receive the prescription, and an app that stores information on the patient's own disease and the drug prescribed therefor can be installed, and the patient does not take a dose according to the time of taking the drug. A terminal capable of receiving a primary warning message when it is detected by the sensor unit 110, and may be a PC or a mobile terminal.

The acquaintance terminal 30 is possessed by a person designated by the patient, and an app that stores the patient information and information on the prescribed drug may be installed, and among the contact information stored in the patient terminal 20, the patient's own desired contact information One of the contacts in the designated or favorite list is shared with the service server 200 so that the contact information of the acquaintance may be transmitted to the hospital terminal 10 as well.

That is, in the present invention, the acquaintance terminal 30 can receive a second warning message next to the patient when it is detected by the sensor unit 110 that the patient does not take a dose according to the drug taking time. As a terminal, it may be a PC or a mobile terminal.

The content of the warning message will be described in detail while describing the configuration of the service server 200 below.

The service server 200 may include a database unit 210, a patient management module 220, a terminal designation module 230, a drug administration module 240, a monitoring module 250, and a warning module 260. .

Specifically, the database unit 210 may include a first database 211 and a second database 212 and may collect and store information on drugs.

The first database 211 collects information on commercially available drugs using a reader, and stores information on a quantity that can be taken for each drug.

In the case of drugs on the market, barcodes that collect information about the drugs are allocated to the case where each drug is accommodated, so if you read them with a reader, you can check the information about the drug.

In addition, it is possible to use barcode or NFC technology, and when this technology is applied, the reader of the present invention may be a short-range communication device.

However, in the case of the first database 211 described above, since it is limited to drugs sold on the market, there is a problem that it is inappropriate for a patient who has been prescribed a drug type that is not sold on the market to use.

Accordingly, the second database 212 may be formed to collect information on drugs that are not commercially available through a precision weighing device, and store information on a quantity that can be taken for each drug.

In other words, for example, when a drug A that is not sold on the market is prescribed, the value obtained by measuring the appropriate dose is stored using a precision weighing device that can measure the appropriate dose of drug A described in the opinion of the doctor who gave the prescription to a precise unit. When accommodated in the drug case, it may be possible to determine whether or not the patient takes the drug based on the measured value.

The patient management module 220 stores the patient's hospital visit and prescription records, and may be transmitted to the hospital terminal 10.

In other words, when the patient revisits the hospital, it is possible to grasp the patient's disease and prescribed drugs without delay, thereby reducing data for future medical accidents or the occurrence of errors.

When one of the phone numbers designated as favorites among the phone numbers stored in the patient terminal 20 is selected by the patient terminal 20, the terminal designation module 230 designates it as an acquaintance terminal 30 and the hospital terminal 10 It is a configuration that transmits the information of the friend.

The acquaintance's information may include a contact information and a name, and the acquaintance terminal 30 designated by the terminal designation module 230 may be recognized as a terminal possessed by a guardian capable of calling in an emergency.

The drug administration module 240 stores the patient's individual prescription record, and establishes a dose schedule using information on the drug prescribed to the patient, and the hospital terminal 10, the patient terminal 20, and the acquaintance terminal 30 It is a configuration that is transmitted to.

In other words, each patient has different information on different diseases and drugs prescribed for it. This is to establish a schedule for taking the entire drug by grasping it. Because it is difficult to keep taking the drug only with a temporary explanation provided by the pharmacy to the patient in words. It is a configuration that establishes a dosing schedule so that you can take it periodically and notifies the patient terminal according to the dosing schedule accordingly.

The monitoring module 250 is configured to monitor the result transmitted from the sensor unit 110 whether the patient has taken it according to the dosage schedule transmitted from the medicine administration module 240, and is provided in the medicine case 100 The unit 110 and the service server 200 are interlocked to record the sensed values in real time.

The warning module 260 is configured to transmit a warning message to the patient terminal 20, the acquaintance terminal 30, and the hospital terminal 10 when it is detected that the patient has not taken the medicine according to the established dosage schedule. , A primary warning module 261, a secondary warning module 262, and a third warning module 263.

Specifically, the first warning module 261 determines that the patient has not taken the drug in time when the value detected by the sensor unit 110 in real time by the monitoring module 250 does not match the dose schedule. This is a configuration for transmitting a primary warning message to the patient terminal 20.

The second warning module 262 is a patient when the value sensed by the sensor unit 110 does not match the dose schedule even after a certain period of time has passed since the first warning message was transmitted through the first warning module 261. It is a configuration that transmits a second warning message to the designated acquaintance terminal 30 by determining that the drug has not been taken in time.

For example, if a value detected by the sensor unit 110 does not match the dosing schedule even after 10 minutes have passed since the first warning message is transmitted to the patient terminal 20, a second warning message is generated and an acquaintance terminal designated by the patient. It sends a second warning message to (30) so that an acquaintance can see it and inform the patient.

The third warning module 263 is a patient when the value sensed by the sensor unit 110 does not match the dosage schedule even after a certain period of time has passed since the second warning message was transmitted through the second warning module 262. It is a configuration that determines that the drug has not been taken in time and transmits a danger warning message to the hospital terminal 10.

For example, if the value detected by the sensor unit 110 does not match the dose schedule even after 15 minutes have passed since the second warning message is transmitted to the acquaintance terminal 30, a third warning message is generated and the hospital terminal 10 It is sent to the network to inform it that it is at a risk level so that it can take prompt action.

In other words, since the patient's condition may be a dangerous situation, if it is transmitted to the hospital terminal 10, the hospital may take steps to send an emergency transport vehicle to the address according to the patient's information. You may need a configuration to send a warning message.

Since the function of simply notifying the drug taking time cannot help the patient in a dangerous situation, the configuration of the warning module 260 as in the present invention is required.

Next, referring to Figs. 5 and 6, the medicine case 100 of the present invention further includes a coupling portion capable of separating and coupling a plurality of the space portions 101, and the coupling portion is a first coupling body 120 and a second coupling portion. It may include a combination (130).

Specifically, the first coupling body 120 is formed at one end of the space 101, a'U'-shaped locking groove 121 formed at one end of the space 101 and the locking groove 121 formed inside the It may include a first permanent magnet (not shown).

The second assembly 130 is formed at the other end of the space 101 so as to be coupled with the first assembly 120 of the other space 101, and the tightening hole, the adjustment bar 131, the protrusion 132, It may include a handle 133 and a second permanent magnet (not shown).

The tightening hole is formed at the other end of the space 101, and the inner circumferential surface may be formed as a thread.

The adjustment bar 131 may be inserted into the tightening hole and may be formed to be adjusted in the front-rear direction along the screw thread.

The protrusion 132 may be formed in a disk shape at one end of the adjustment bar 131 so as to be inserted into the locking groove 121.

The handle 133 is a means that is formed in a'b' shape at the other end of the control bar 131 so that the control bar 131 can be moved forward and backward along the inner peripheral surface of the tightening hole.

The second permanent magnet may be formed on the outer periphery of the protrusion 132 so that the first permanent magnet (not shown) and the attractive force act, thereby further increasing the fixing force.

That is, after the protrusion 132 of the second assembly 130 of the space 1 101a is coupled to the stiffening groove of the first assembly 120 of the space 2 101b as shown in FIG. 6 , As the adjustment bar 131 of the second assembly 130 is moved inside the space 1 (101a) by the handle 133, the space between the space 1 (101a) and the space 2 (101b) is more firmly fixed. It can be separated, and it can be separated by simple operation even when separating.

In addition, although not shown, the medicine case 100 of the present invention may further include a filter provided for blocking harmful substances in each of the spaces 101.
