Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of family health management technology, and in particular to a medication reminder device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the improvement of people's living standards and the continuous strengthening of health awareness, coupled with the aging of the population and the increasing number of elderly people, the number of people with chronic diseases who need to take medication on time will also continue to increase, such as antihypertensive drugs. Medication takers need to take them on time every day, and failure to take them on time will have serious consequences. However, especially the elderly often forget to take their medication due to memory decline.

[0003] At the same time, there are many types of medicines available now, and different medicines need to be taken at different times, which increases the burden on patients.

[0004] Existing technologies and patents also contain some devices for reminding people to take medication, but in practical applications, they can only provide reminders through a single device and cannot provide comprehensive reminders based on the user's lifestyle. This makes them inconvenient for users and cannot completely prevent users from forgetting to take their medication on time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a medication reminder device that can completely prevent users from forgetting to take their medication on time.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a medication reminder device, comprising: a smart reminder device one and a smart reminder device two, wherein the smart reminder device one and the smart reminder device two have the same structure. The smart reminder device one is fixedly installed behind the door, and the smart reminder device two is fixedly installed in the bathroom. The structure of the smart reminder device one and the smart reminder device two includes: a housing, a control panel installed on the housing, a device for collecting information on the user, medication, time of administration, and dosage installed inside the housing, a reminder device, and an information processing device. The information processing device is connected to the device for collecting information on the user, medication, time of administration, and dosage, the reminder device, and the control panel. When the medication time arrives, the reminder device will send a reminder signal. After receiving the reminder, the user will operate the manual button on the control panel to turn off the medication reminder.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a further technical solution: it also includes a third intelligent reminder device, the structure of which is the same as that of the first and second intelligent reminder devices, and the third intelligent reminder device is installed in a private car.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a further technical solution: the reminder device is an alarm clock reminder device.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a further technical solution: the reminder device is an indicator light.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a further technical solution: the reminder device is a sound reminder device.

[0011] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a further technical solution: a medicine storage box is also provided inside the shell.

[0012] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention further employs the following technical solution: An SMS notification device is also provided within the housing. This device is connected to an information processing device and the user's mobile phone terminal. Within a preset timeframe after the notification device sends a reminder signal, the information processing device checks whether a shutdown control command has been received. If no shutdown control command is received after the preset timeframe, a "medication not taken" reminder message is generated and sent to the user's mobile phone terminal, reminding them to take the medication again. After taking the medication, the user can send a signal to the information processing device via their mobile phone terminal. Upon receiving the shutdown control command, the information processing device actively controls the connected notification device to shut down the reminder.

[0013] The advantages of this invention are: 1. Equipped with multiple smart reminders, it can provide comprehensive reminders based on the user's lifestyle, such as behind the door, in the bathroom, kitchen, or in the car. This makes it convenient for the user and can completely prevent the user from forgetting to take the medication on time or forgetting that they have taken the medication.

[0014] 2. The device for collecting information on the user, medication, administration time, and dosage can collect information on different medications, administration time, dosage, and frequency of administration based on the user's actual medication needs, and provide intelligent automatic reminders to reduce the burden on the user.

[0015] 3. The smart reminder device is equipped with a medicine storage box, making it convenient for users to take their medication in a timely manner. After taking the medication, users can manually turn off the medication reminder by pressing the button on the control panel.

[0016] 4. The smart reminder device is equipped with an SMS notification system, which is connected to the information processing device and the user's mobile phone. Within a preset time after the reminder device sends a reminder signal, the information processing device checks whether a shutdown control command has been received. If no shutdown control command is received after the preset time, a reminder message for not taking medication is generated and sent to the user's mobile phone, reminding the user to take the medication again. After taking the medication, the user can send a signal to the information processing device via their mobile phone. Upon receiving the shutdown control command, the information processing device actively controls the connected reminder device to shut down the reminder, providing a final interception for those who forget to take their medication on time. The mobile phone automatically shuts down the reminder, improving the level of intelligence and making it more convenient for users. Attached Figure Description
