Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, a medication reminder system for chronic pain patients includes:

[0038] a data acquisition module, a data processing module, a data analysis module, a medication reminder module, and a control center;

[0039] The data acquisition module is used to collect patient-related data and send the collected patient-related data to the data processing module for processing. Among them, the patient-related data includes: patient physical index data, drug analysis index data, and daily routine data;

[0040] Among them, the drug type and drug information of the drug analysis index data are obtained by the data acquisition module from the drug-related information entered by the patient in the control center;

[0041] After receiving the patient-related data sent by the data acquisition module, the data processing module performs data processing. Specifically, the processing process of the data processing module includes the following steps:

[0042] Perform data marking on the patient-related data, and use the marked patient-related data to perform comprehensive evaluation calculation of the patient's medication to obtain a comprehensive patient medication coefficient; the specific process is as follows:

[0043] Mark the patient physical index data as Si, mark the drug analysis index data as Yi, and mark the daily routine data as Hi. In the formula, i is the acquisition times label of the data acquisition module, and i = 1, 2, 3,..., n, where n is the total number of acquisition times of the data acquisition module;

[0044] Use the formula to calculate the comprehensive patient medication coefficient Zxi. In the formula, S0 is the preset standard patient physical index coefficient, Y0 is the preset standard drug analysis index coefficient, H0 is the preset standard daily routine coefficient, p1 is the patient medication influence coefficient, p2 is the drug analysis influence coefficient, and p3 is the daily routine influence coefficient;

[0045] Furthermore, in the specific implementation process, the preset standard patient body index coefficient, the preset standard drug analysis index coefficient and the preset standard drug analysis index coefficient are obtained by collecting the patient's body index data, drug analysis index data and daily routine data on a daily basis, and then performing multiple simulation calculations and taking the average value of the data;

[0046] Among them, in this embodiment, the patient medication influence coefficient, drug analysis influence coefficient and lifestyle influence coefficient are obtained by comprehensive evaluation and calculation based on the influence of external factors when the application obtains the patient's physical index data, drug analysis index data and lifestyle data on a daily basis, including human factors and environmental factors, etc.; human factors are some factors caused by human operation or improper scanning, among which, the patient medication influence coefficient includes the body rejection of the patient when taking the medicine, and the influence of inaccurate dosage, the drug analysis influence coefficient includes the influence of some humid or dry environments when the medicine is placed in the environment, which causes some medicines to be damp or too dry, and the lifestyle influence coefficient is the integration of data caused by some sudden times, such as socializing, staying up late, etc., which lead to the inability to carry out daily routines on time;

[0047] The data processing module sends the calculated comprehensive patient medication coefficient Zxi to the data analysis module for data analysis;

[0048] After receiving the comprehensive patient medication coefficient Zxi sent by the data processing module, the data analysis module performs data analysis. Specifically, the analysis process of the data analysis module includes the following steps:

[0049] Get the drug taking time interval [Tmin, Tmax], where Tmin is the earliest time to take the drug, Tmax is the latest time to take the drug, and the patient's drug taking time t;

[0050] Based on the comprehensive patient medication coefficient Zxi and the patient's medication time t, the medication time is calculated to obtain the pre-selected medication time Txi. The calculation process is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] In the formula, t 0 is the preset optimal time for taking the drug, and k is the preset correlation coefficient;

[0053] The pre-selected medication time Txi is compared with the medication time interval [Tmin, Tmax] to determine the best medication time:

[0054] when If so, it is determined that Txi is the optimal medication-taking time, and the data analysis module sends the optimal medication-taking time to the medication reminder module;

[0055] When If so, then Txi is not the optimal medication-taking time, and the data analysis module sends a feedback signal to the data acquisition module for re-acquisition until up to;

[0056] In the formula, q1 and q2 are preset proportionality coefficients;

[0057] After receiving the optimal medication-taking time sent by the data analysis module, the medication reminder module sets a medication reminder for the patient according to the optimal medication-taking time;

[0058] Specifically, the reminder methods adopted by the medication reminder module can be selected as follows:

[0059] 1. Use a smartwatch (Fitbit):

[0060] Synchronize the smartwatch with the mobile phone;

[0061] Set a reminder on the watch or use a dedicated medication reminder application;

[0062] The watch will vibrate and display a reminder at the specified time.

[0063] 2. Use a custom script or automation tool (FTTT, Zapier):

[0064] Create a new automation process;

[0065] Set the trigger condition (such as a specific time every day);

[0066] Set the action (such as sending a text message, push notification, etc.);

[0067] Save and enable the process, and it will automatically remind at the specified time.

[0068] 3. Use chatbots such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp:

[0069] Find or create a chatbot for medication reminders;

[0070] Set the reminder time and frequency;

[0071] The chatbot will send a message reminder at the specified time.

[0072] In this embodiment, a smartwatch is selected for reminder because the smartwatch can be conveniently carried on the patient's hand, and the reminder by vibration display can play a role in supervising and urging the patient, which is more convenient and fast than the other two methods;

[0073] The control center is used to store personal basic information, personal pain symptoms, medication plans, and drug-related information after patient registration.
