Description

A MEDICINE REMINDER SYSTEM Technical Field
The present invention relates to a medicine reminder system which enables to remind a patient about times of use regarding medicines that are included in a prescription being written out for a patient and comprising at least one medicine information, by means of an electronic device automatically.
Background of the Invention
Intake of medicines, that are prescribed by the doctor following an examination carried out for the patient, in a correct amount and on a regular basis plays a significant role in the treatment process. In cases when the patient does not take the medicines on time, in a correct amount and on a regular basis; the treatment process is interrupted and the treatment period extends and/or the patient’s disorder cannot be cured. In today’s applications, it is enabled to remind that medicines are taken at the right time by entering information such as bedtime, mealtime in addition to information of medicine and medicine usage by means of an application included in mobile devices of patients. However, a medicine reminder is on the user’s own initiative and it is not known whether the times necessary for a medicine reminder or the medicine information are entered or not. The fact that the medicine usage information told by the doctor to the patient are forgotten, the patient forgets to enter the medicine information told by the doctor to the mobile application or the patient will make an effort by entering the medicine information to the mobile application manually prevents the patient from taking the medicines at the right time and in a correct amount. Therefore, in the state of the art, there is need for a system which enables to create a reminder for medication times and dosage amounts by means of the patient’s mobile device upon the doctor enters the information of medicine to be used by the patient and the dosage amounts of medicine use.
The Korean patent document no. KR20150011158, an application in the state of the art, discloses a system for reminding the medicines that should be taken by a patient and the time when the medicine should be taken by means of an application running on a smartphone.
Summary of the Invention
An objective of the present invention is to realize a medicine reminder system which enables to remind a patient about times of use and the dosage amounts regarding medicines that are included in a prescription being written out for a patient and comprising at least one medicine information, by means of an electronic device automatically.
