Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a voice broadcast and data storage management system for insulin pen injection dosage. Background Art

[0002] Conventional insulin injection pens rotate the dose adjustment knob to drive the scale inside the pen to rotate. A scale visual window is left on the pen body, through which the injection dose can be observed; at the same time, a "click" sound is emitted during the dose adjustment process, and each "click" represents 1 dose unit. In addition, there is another type of insulin pen, in which the external supporting system uses a voice recognition module to determine the actual amount of insulin liquid injected after the insulin pen sets the dose, and then realizes the voice broadcast of the injection dose through the electronic control module; at the same time, the insulin dose of each injection can be uploaded to the mobile phone APP through the circuit control program to realize the storage and management of the injection dose.

[0003] However, in order to achieve the purpose of portability, the size design of the pen body of a conventional insulin pen is limited, so the dosage number that can be observed in the injection dosage observation window is limited to a certain extent, and it is impossible for patients with poor eyesight to accurately identify it; at the same time, although the "click" sound emitted when adjusting the dosage can clearly distinguish the sound of each dosage adjustment, it is still a disadvantage for patients with poor hearing, and it is also very challenging for memory and mental concentration to record the total amount of the adjusted dosage; in addition, medical staff cannot conduct real-time supervision and statistical management of the insulin dosage of each patient injection, which also has a certain impact on the planning and management of the patient's subsequent treatment process.

[0004] The second type of insulin pen external system realizes voice broadcast of injection dosage and storage and systematic management of injection data. However, the "click" sound emitted by the insulin pen itself has a certain upper and lower decibel limit, and the application of its voice recognition module is easily affected by environmental factors. There may be a risk of false alarm due to inaccurate recognition during use; at the same time, the manufacturing cost of the voice recognition module product itself will be very high, which will require more production investment for manufacturers and increase additional treatment costs for patients.
