It is a magnetic connector, a USB connector or a connector of other specifications, and is used as a communication between the detecting mechanism 2 and the communication control mechanism 3, and the wireless communication module 33 is a Bluetooth communication module and a Wi-Fi communication module. The group, the 3G communication module, the 4G communication module or the LAN communication module, and the human interface 34 includes a display 341 and a plurality of buttons 342. If so, the above technical features are combined into a new detectable drug cartridge device.

When the present invention is used, the detecting unit 2 and the connector 24, 36 of the communication control unit 3 can be connected to an external host (for example, a computer host, not shown), and then the control unit 21 can edit the cartridge identification code unit. 23 patient data and time management of taking the medicine, and can be operated by the button 342 of the human machine interface 34, and the patient data and the time management of the medicine in the medicine box identification code unit 23 are read through the identification code unit 35, and It is displayed by the display 341 to confirm whether it is a patient-specific kit.

Once the application is performed, the medicines are separately stored in the placement areas 11 of the accommodating unit 1 according to the time and the number of times the patient takes the medicine (for example, monthly, weekly, daily, morning, noon, or evening). The medicine is located at the middle of the concave curved surface 111, and then, the detectors 22 respectively detect the medicine at the middle of the concave curved surface 111 in the corresponding placement area 11; when the concave areas of the respective placement areas 11 are concave When there is a drug in 111, the maximum amount of reflection can be obtained, and when there is no drug When only the minimum amount of reflection is obtained, the storage state of the medicine in each placement area 11 can be discriminated by the amount of reflection; if the patient takes out the medicine by himself at the time, the detector 22 does not emit any detection. The signal is sent to the communication control unit 3, and vice versa, if the patient has not taken the medicine in the placement area 11 after the time has elapsed, the detector 22 transmits the signal detecting the unremoved medicine to the control unit. 21, and transmitted to the processor 31 of the communication control mechanism 3 through the connector 24, 36 of the communication, at this time, the processor 31 will drive the wireless communication module 33, and according to the patient data in the identification code unit 35 (for example, contact information such as mobile phone number or e-mail), the detection signal of the unmedicated drug is transmitted to the patient's communication device 4 (for example, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a smart watch or a related communication device such as a computer). Remind patients to take medication on time.

In addition, the wireless communication module 33 of the present invention has the function of network connection, so that the remote management platform 5 and the wireless communication module 33 can be connected, so that the service provider of the remote management platform 5 can obtain the kit identification code. The patient data in the unit 23 is managed by the time of taking the medicine, and the management information of the medication history is established on the remote management platform 5, and the communication device 4 of the patient is connected, and the information and medication information provided by the APP are provided by the APP. Or notify the patient's caregiver in a newsletter to understand the medication status and to manage the patient's health.

Referring to the "fourth figure", it is a block diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure: in addition to the technical features mentioned in the above first embodiment, the present invention may also be the structural form of the second embodiment, and the difference is The communication control unit 3 further includes a speaker 37 connected to the processor 31 and a plurality of light-emitting elements 38, wherein each of the light-emitting elements 38 corresponds to a light-emitting diode disposed on each of the placement regions 11.

In addition, the communication control mechanism 3 can be used to notify the patient to take the medicine by using the wireless communication module 33, and the medicine can be detected when the medicine is not taken out and the medicine is still not taken out. The device 22 transmits the signal that the detected drug has not been taken out to the control unit 21, and transmits it to the processor 31 of the communication control mechanism 3 through the connector 24, 36 of the handshake communication. At this time, the processor 31 will drive the speaker. 37 or the corresponding illuminating element 38 performs a voice or light prompt to remind the patient that the medication must be taken on time.

In summary, the kit for detecting a drug of the present invention can effectively improve the missing formula, and the drug can be contained in each placement area of the accommodating unit, and the detecting mechanism detects each placement area. Whether the drug is taken or not, if it is detected that the drug in the placement area is not taken, the detection signal is transmitted to the communication control mechanism, so that the communication control mechanism transmits the detection signal to the patient's communication device to remind the patient The patient must take the medicine on time, and then achieve the time management and the effect of active reminding.
