Abstract

This invention provides a smart voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly, comprising an information acquisition module, a processing module, a generative AI voice module, and an interaction module. The information acquisition module retrieves medication information from the medication bag or prescription; the processing module standardizes the medication information to generate analytical data including medication name, dosage, frequency of use, and time of administration, and obtains corresponding medication precautions and analyzes the interactions between medications based on the analytical data; the generative AI voice module generates voice reminders based on the medication precautions and analysis results; and the interaction module includes a voice playback unit to play the voice reminders. This provides elderly individuals with a more easily understood smart medication reminder function, improving medication safety and the convenience of medication management.

Claims

1. A smart voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly, comprising: an information acquisition module for acquiring information on at least one drug located in a medicine bag or prescription; a processing module, electrically connected to the information acquisition module, comprising: a standardization unit for standardizing the drug information to generate analytical data, wherein the analytical data includes at least the drug name, dosage, frequency of administration, and time of administration; a medication knowledge acquisition unit, electrically connected to the standardization unit and a drug database, for searching and obtaining corresponding medication precautions information in the drug database based on the analytical data; and an interaction analysis unit, electrically connected to the standardization unit, for analyzing and determining the interaction relationship between drugs based on the analytical data and generating an analysis result; a generative AI voice module, electrically connected to the processing module, for generating a voice reminder message based on the medication precautions information and the analysis result; and an interaction module, electrically connected to the generative AI voice module and comprising a voice playback unit for playing the voice reminder message.

2. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 1, wherein, The information acquisition module includes a scanning unit, an imaging unit, a preprocessing unit, and an identification unit. The scanning unit is used to scan a label on the medicine bag or prescription to obtain scan data. The imaging unit is used to capture an image of the medicine bag or prescription. The preprocessing unit is electrically connected to the imaging unit and is used to perform image processing on the image. The identification unit is electrically connected to the scanning unit and the preprocessing unit and is used to convert the scan data and the processed image into text format drug information.

3. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 2, wherein, The interactive module includes a guidance unit that is electrically connected to the voice playback unit. The guidance unit stores multiple guidance information and can be played through the voice playback unit.

4. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 3, wherein, The interactive module includes a setting unit that is electrically connected to the voice playback unit for setting multiple voice playback parameters.

5. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 4, wherein, The interactive module includes a voice receiving and parsing unit and a recording unit. The voice receiving and parsing unit is electrically connected to the recording unit to receive a voice command from the user and parse it to generate user preference information. The recording unit is used to store the user preference information and is electrically connected to the setting unit so that the voice playback parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the user preference information.

6. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 5, wherein, The processing module further includes a medication timing analysis unit, which is electrically connected to the standardization unit to calculate and generate medication timing data based on the parsed data, and to provide the generative AI voice module with corresponding voice reminder information based on the medication timing data.

7. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 6, wherein, The interactive module also includes a medication confirmation unit, which is electronically connected to the voice playback unit. It is used to output confirmation prompts through the voice playback unit and receive confirmation input commands from one of the users to generate a medication record.

8. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in claim 7, wherein, The processing module further includes a medication failure determination unit, which is electrically connected to the medication confirmation unit. It is used to determine the medication status based on the medication timing data and the medication record data, and generate a reminder to the generative AI voice module when the two do not match. The generative AI voice module then generates the corresponding voice reminder information based on the reminder data.

9. The intelligent voice reminder system for medication use in the elderly as described in any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein, The processing module is electrically connected to a medical data platform and includes a retrieval unit. The retrieval unit is electrically connected to the interaction analysis unit. When the parsed data includes the patient's name, date of birth, and prescription date, the retrieval unit retrieves prescription information from the medical data platform that matches the patient's name and date of birth within a certain period before and after the prescription date. This allows the interaction analysis unit to analyze and determine the interaction relationship between drugs based on the prescription information and generate the analysis result.
