3. Method for managing medication intake through the medication intake management system according to the present invention

Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a management server for medication administration according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the management server 200 receives prescription order information and medication history information from the user terminal 100 and stores them (S310). Here, reception of prescription order information and medication history information may be based on a prescription order through the user terminal 100. For example, the user terminal 100 selects one or more of the list of one or more health functional foods, nutritional supplements, medicines, and herbal medicine prescriptions displayed on the user terminal 100, and sends the prescription order information for the selected medicine to the management server. It can be sent to (200).

The prescription order information is accumulated and stored in the database of the management server 200. When the prescription order information is transmitted to the management server 200 by the user terminal 100, the stored cumulative tally of the prescription order information can be updated. there is.

Meanwhile, the medication history information is medication intake information entered or estimated to have actually been taken by the user, and details thereof will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 .

The management server 200 may transmit a command for dispensing a medication package according to the prescription order information and medication history information received from the user terminal 100 to the medication packaging device 300 . The medicine packaging device 300 can prepare small-portion packaged medicine packets inserted into the medicine package according to the received preparation command. At this time, the drug packaging device 300 prints information for regular subscription or re-prescription of the drug package at a preset position from the last batch of small-sized drug packets to be dispensed, according to the blank insertion command included in the received dispensing command. Subdivided medicine packets can be prepared so that the prepared vacuole is inserted.

In particular, the management server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine the position where the fear is to be inserted by extracting the medication required period set for the user from the prescription order information. For example, the management server 200 extracts the required medication period set for the taker from the prescription order information, and includes a fear insertion command in the dispensing order to insert the fear after 1/2 of the extracted required medication period. It can be transmitted to the drug packaging device 300.

Here, the required period of taking the drug can be set in various ways, such as one month, three months, six months, etc., according to the doctor's prescription or the user's choice. For example, according to the doctor's opinion, if a prescribed medication must be taken consistently for 6 months, the required period of administration is 6 months, and if the recipient chooses to take a specific medication for 1 year, the period of administration required is 1 year. can be set. The period of time required to take the medication set in this way can be entered by the user through the user terminal 100 and transmitted to the management server 200.

However, medications according to the required period of administration are not provided to the user all at once, but are divided into several drug packages due to reasons such as the possibility of change in the required period of administration depending on the patient's condition, the expiration date of the drug, and the risk of misuse (10). It is desirable that it be provided to the recipient at regular intervals within the period of time required to take it.

For example, if the period of time required to take medication is 6 months, and the user must take the medication every day from July to December, the total number of required medications is approximately 184 (30*3+31*4), and the user must take the medication every day from July to December. A 30-day or 31-day drug package (10) may be provided six times in a one-month cycle.

In addition, whether or not to insert the vacuole may be determined depending on the number of days (number of doses) of the small packaged medicine packets dispensed according to the prescription order information. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the management server 200 issues an announcement 41 to notify that a re-prescription is necessary 3 days in advance when the small packaged medicine to be dispensed according to the prescription order information is 30 days' worth. It can be inserted between the 3rd and 4th small packaging medicine packets from the last round of medicine packets. However, if there are 20 days' worth of small portion packaged medicine to be dispensed according to the prescription order information, the blank 41 may not be inserted.

Meanwhile, the management server 200 may extract the total cumulative medication period of the user from the medication history information (S320).

Here, the total cumulative medication period of the user is a period that includes, for the same drug, the medication period corresponding to the subdivided packaged medication to be dispensed according to the currently received prescription order information and the medication period corresponding to the subdivided packaged medication package that was ordered and dispensed in the past. means.

For example, if the subdivided medicine packet to be dispensed according to the currently received prescription order information is based on the 3rd (September) order, the total cumulative dosing period is based on the subdivided medication packet to be dispensed according to the currently received prescription order information. It is 92 days, including 30 days, which is the corresponding dosage period, and 62 days, which is the dosage period corresponding to the small packaged medicine packets ordered and dispensed in the past.

At this time, the management server 200 determines whether the period excluding the total cumulative dosage period remains in the period requiring medication (S330).

If a period excluding the total cumulative medication period remains in the required medication period (period of required medication - total cumulative medication period > 0), an additional order for medication is required in addition to the currently received prescription order, so the management server (200) may include a vacuole insertion command within the preparation command of the drug package and transmit it to the drug packaging device 300 (S340).

The drug packaging device 300, which has received the command for dispensing a drug package, prints information for regular subscription or re-prescription of the drug package at a preset position from the last batch of small portion packaged drug packets to be dispensed, according to the promulgation insertion command. Subdivided medicine packets can be prepared so that the vacuole is inserted.

Referring to the example shown in FIG. 5, when it is desired to notify the user about re-prescription of the medicine 3 days before all the small packaged medicines in the medicine package are used up, the management server 300 sends n inserted into the medicine package. In the small packaged medicine, the n-3th medicine sachet (52) corresponding to the dose taken 3 days before the last nth medicine sachet (53) and the n-4th medicine sachet (56) corresponding to the dose taken 4 days before. It can be prepared so that the vacuole 51 is inserted in between.

Here, the insertion location of the fear 51 may be changed according to information set in the management server 200 or the user's selection.

Accordingly, the user recognizes the information for regular subscription or re-prescription printed on the blank 51 located in front of the n-3rd medicine packet 52 on the corresponding day 3 days before the small packaged medicine in the medicine package runs out. Thus, a re-prescription of the drug package can be ordered by entering prescription order information into the user terminal 100.

If there is no remaining period other than the total cumulative dosing period in the required dosing period (required dosing period - total cumulative dosing period ≤ 0) (S330: No), there is no need to reorder any more, so no promulgation insertion order is included. By transmitting the command for dispensing an unused drug package to the drug packaging device, it is possible to prevent the vacuole from being inserted into the small packaged drug (S350).

Meanwhile, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, information for regular subscription or re-prescription of the drug package printed on the blank 51 may be implemented as a preset identification code 54.

Here, the identification code 54 may include various codes including a QR code and Data Matrix, and may be linked to a web page for applying for a regular subscription or re-prescription of a pharmaceutical package.

For example, when the user recognizes the identification code 54 through the camera of the user terminal 100, the user can enter prescription order information or regular subscription application information for re-prescription into the user terminal 100. An app or website (shopping mall, etc.) may be automatically connected and displayed on the user's terminal 100.

At this time, when a regular subscription or re-prescription of a drug package is applied for by the user terminal 100, the management server 200 is configured to allow the drug packaging device 300 to insert a small portion packaged drug package into the drug package according to the application information and medication history information. can be prepared.

Regular subscription is a service that allows you to receive or deliver a pharmaceutical package by automatically placing orders at regular intervals without having to repeatedly enter the same prescription order information each time. It can be performed by a widely known method.

When the small packaged medicine package is prepared, the management server 200 can transmit a receipt information message or a delivery information message of the drug package to the user terminal 100, which the user receives through the medication management app running on the user terminal 100. You can check the delivery information message.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, different preset identification codes 55 for managing the user's medication history will be printed on the surface of the other medicine packets 52 and 53 in addition to the vacuole 51 of the small packaged medicine. You can.

When the identification code 55 is recognized by the user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 provides information including the point in time when the identification code 55 was recognized and the number of rounds of the small packaged medicine packet for which the identification code 55 was recognized. The medication history information can be updated by transmitting it to the management server 200.

The management server 200 determines that the user has taken the medicine packet corresponding to the identification code 55 based on the recognition time of the received identification code 55 and the information about the turn of the small packaged medicine packet and provides the medication history information. It can be updated.

For example, the user terminal 100 automatically transmits information indicating that the medicine has been taken to the management server 200 as the identification code 55 is recognized, or the medication management app is executed as the identification code 55 is recognized. Through this, the user can simply check whether or not the medicine packet has been taken, and the medication history information can be updated.

At this time, the management server 200 is based on the difference between the date of administration corresponding to the batch of the small packaged medicine for which the identification code was recognized based on the date on which the medicine package was prepared or delivered and the date on which the identification code 55 was recognized. , the number of days or times of non-use of the small packaged medicine can be calculated, and the calculated date or number of times of non-use may be updated with the medication history information.

For example, in the case of a medicine package containing a 31-day supply of medicine to be taken every day from July 1st to July 31st (assuming that the medicine package was delivered to the recipient before July 1st) ), it is assumed that if the small packaged medicine packet for which the identification code (55) is recognized corresponds to the 15th dose, the corresponding dosage date is July 15th, but the date on which the identification code (55) was actually recognized is July 18th. can do.

At this time, since the difference in dates is 3 days, the management server 200 calculates the date (July 15th to July 17th) or number of times (3 times) of non-use of the small packaged medicine, and calculates the calculated non-use date or The number of doses is updated with medication history information.

Meanwhile, Figure 6 is a diagram showing how each small packaged medicine packet is arranged in order according to a plurality of prescription order information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When receiving an order for dispensing a drug package according to a plurality of different prescription order information of the user from the management server 200, the drug packaging device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is The small-portion packaged medicine packets can be prepared so that the small-portion packaged drug packets are arranged in the order in which they will be taken.

Specifically, the prescription order information that the user inputs through the user terminal 100 may include a plurality of prescription order information for drugs packaged in different medicine packets due to differences in dosage cycles.

For example, referring to Figure 6, the medicine packets (61, 63, 64) containing AA drugs and BB drugs must be taken every day, and the drug packets (62, 65) containing CC drugs and DD drugs must be taken every two days. When doing this, the drug packaging device 300 ensures that the drug packets 61, 63, 64 containing the AA drug and the BB drug are repeated every day in the subdivided drug packets, but the drug packets 62, 65 containing the CC drug and DD drug are repeated every day. It can be prepared to be arranged in the order to be taken by inserting it every other day between the medicine packets 61, 63, and 64 containing the AA medicine and the BB medicine so that it is in a position where it can be taken once every two days.

Accordingly, even if the drug package includes different drug packets with different dosage cycles, the user can take the drugs discharged from the drug package in the order in which they will be taken, making it possible to conveniently take and manage the necessary drugs.
