[Effect of invention]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a drug user with a motivation to take the drug, and to assist in taking the drug.

Hereinafter, a medication assistance program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a sleep-improving drug is taken as an example and a child is taken as an example. Take the drug once a day before going to bed. The medication-taking assistance program is installed on a terminal such as a guardian's smartphone (hereinafter referred to as "user terminal"), and assists the child in taking the sleep-improving drug through a screen displayed on the user terminal according to the execution of the medication-assisting program.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a user terminal 20 and the like using the medication-taking assistance program 10 . The guardian's user terminal 20 is connected to the server 30 that provides the medication-taking assistance program 10 of the embodiment through a network. The guardian downloads the medication assistance program 10 from the server 30 and installs it on the user terminal 20 . Among them, the program is also called "application", "APP" and so on.

The guardian's user terminal 20 implements the functions of a medication-taking time notification unit 21 , a medication-taking confirmation screen display unit 22 , and a collection display unit 23 by executing the medication-taking assistance program 10 . As a result, when the medication time comes, the server 30 transmits the alarm data to the user terminal 20 , and the user terminal 20 notifies the arrival of the medication time by the function of the medication time notification unit 21 . In addition, the user terminal 20 receives an input of whether or not the medicine has been taken from the medicine-taking confirmation screen display unit 22 . When it is input that the user has taken the medicine, the user terminal 20 receives the bonus data from the server 30 and stores the bonus data selected by the user in the storage unit 24 of the user terminal 20 . The favorite display unit 23 displays favorites of the reward data stored in the storage unit 24 . The favorite display unit corresponds to the bonus screen display unit.

In the above, since the data of the alarm is transmitted from the server 30 to the user terminal 20 , the user terminal 20 transmits various setting data to the server 30 . The server 30 uses the data sent from the user terminal 20 to perform member information management, system management, alarm clock management, and collection management.

The member information management manages the member's email address, the nickname of the child who takes the medicine, and the verification code for executing the medicine-taking assistance program 10 . The system management manages the sending date of the notification from the operator of the medication-taking assistance program 10 and the registration mail used when the medication-administration assistance program 10 performs member registration. Here, the login email is an email sent to the registered email address in order to authenticate the member's user terminal 20 when a member is registered, and is an email in which a URL for registration is described. The alarm clock management manages the child's bedtime, how many minutes before the bedtime notification timing of taking medicine, and the interval and frequency of the snooze. The bookmark management manages the reward data stored in the member's user terminal 20 .

Hereinafter, the medication-taking assistance program 10 will be described based on an example of a screen displayed when the medication-taking assistance program 10 is installed and executed. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a password confirmation screen displayed initially when the medication-taking assistance program 10 is installed. On the password confirmation screen, an input screen for accepting the input of the password notified at the time of prescribing the medicine to be taken is displayed. On the input screen, the password described in the "booklet" obtained when the medicine was prescribed is input, and when the "confirm" button is pressed, the password is sent to the server 30, and the server 30 performs authentication of the password. When the password is authenticated, the server 30 allows the use of the medication assistance program 10, and the screen of the user terminal 20 shifts to the member registration screen shown in Fig. 3(a) .

(a) in FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a member registration screen. The member registration screen has a field for inputting an email address and an email address for confirmation as required items, and a field for inputting a child's nickname as an optional item. If the email address does not match the input content of the email address for confirmation, the input of the email address or the email address for confirmation is prompted to prevent input errors of the email address. The e-mail address is used to transmit authentication of the user terminal 20 owned by the member, e-mail of notification of operation, and the like.

A child's nickname is used to address the person taking the drug. By calling it by a nickname, it is possible to expect an effect of closeness. This item is arbitrary, and if it is not input, the nickname will not be used in the displayed message, but other actions will not be changed.

On the member registration screen, when an email address and an arbitrary child's nickname are input and the "confirm" button is pressed, the member registration confirmation screen shown in FIG. 3( b ) is displayed. In this example, an example of inputting "Xiaoyao" as the nickname of the child is shown. In this case, the display example using the nickname is "Xiaoyao, good night". If the nickname is not registered, it will be displayed as "Good night".

When the "correction" button is pressed on the confirmation screen of member registration, the screen returns to the screen shown in FIG. 3( a ), and member registration is performed again. When the "registration" button is pressed on the confirmation screen of the member registration, the data of the member registration is transmitted to the server 30, and the server 30 records it in the database for member registration. Then, a login email is sent from the server 30 to the input address, and this registration is performed by clicking on the URL described in the login email. The operation of this personal authentication is a general authentication method, so the illustration is omitted.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a setting screen of bedtime. The bedtime setting screen has a column for inputting the bedtime of the child and a column for setting the notification timing of taking the medicine. Default values can also be input in the fields of the bedtime of the child and the notification timing of taking the medicine. In this example, the default value of bedtime is 20:00, and the default value of the notification timing of taking medicine is 45 minutes before bedtime. This is because the medication assistance program 10 of the present embodiment performs the administration timing of the medication for the medication assistance 30 to 60 minutes before going to bed.

In addition, on the bedtime setting screen, there are check items for selecting whether to perform alarm notification, whether to perform delayed sound notification, and whether to perform alarm notification for bedtime. By checking the alarm notification to the right of the set time, the alarm is notified before the time set according to the bedtime. By checking the delayed bell notification, the delayed bell notification is performed 3 times every 5 minutes until the later-mentioned medication confirmation is performed. By checking the alarm notification of the bedtime notification, the alarm notification is made 5 minutes before bedtime. Then, the app ends automatically 2 minutes before bedtime.

In addition, in the lower part of the bedtime setting screen, there is a menu including icons of "Help", "Top Page", "Medicine Calendar", and "Settings". "Help" is an icon that shifts to a screen explaining how to use the medication assistance program 10 . "Setting" is an icon that shifts to a screen for setting a bedtime, a child's nickname, an e-mail address, and the like. These setting screens are the screens shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .

In addition, on this screen, there is no menu including icons of "Help", "Top Page", "Medicine Calendar", and "Settings" that exist in the lower part of the screen in the top screen. This is because this picture is aimed at the child who is taking the medicine.

On the screen of "It's time to take medicine", "Xiao XXX, it's time to take medicine" is displayed below the title, urging the child to take medicine. Among them, "Little XXX" is the nickname of the person taking the medicine, that is, the child. On the screen of "It's time to take medicine", there are two buttons: "Have taken medicine" and "Don't take it". "Have taken the medicine" is the affirmative button pressed when taking the medicine, and "do not take" is the negative button pressed when the medicine cannot be taken. That is, the screen of "It's time to take the medicine" is a medicine-taking confirmation screen for confirming whether or not the person taking the medicine has taken the medicine. On this screen, when "medicated" is pressed, the screen moves to the screen for receiving the reward shown in Figs. 7 to 10 .
