Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a drug use reminder device, in particular to an inductive drug use voice reminder device. Background Art
[0002] In the hospital, nurses distribute medicines to patients’ bedsides according to doctor’s orders, oral medicines are delivered to the patient’s mouth, and topical medicines are instructed on how to use them and when to use them. However, the existing technology has the following disadvantages: there is no dedicated medicine storage box next to the patient’s bed; the nurse distributes the medicine to the patient, and the patient needs to go out for examination, so the nurse places a warm reminder to remind the patient to go to the nurse station to get the medicine; the patient is receiving treatment and cannot use the medicine immediately, so the medicine is temporarily placed next to the bed. After the patient comes back from the examination or the treatment is over, there is no voice broadcast function to remind the patient to take the medicine in time, and the patient will miss or forget the best time to take the medicine; some patients are at risk of using the medicine incorrectly due to their old age, poor memory or poor eyesight, such as taking topical Chinese medicine by mistake.
[0003] Patent TWM570708U discloses a medication reminder system, which includes a medication storage device and a mobile information device, wherein when a user stores medication in a medicine box and places the medicine box in the medicine storage device according to the medication time, when the user takes the medicine box out of the medicine storage slot, the medicine storage device can generate a medication record information, and transmit the medication record information to the mobile information device for the user to query, thereby avoiding the user from taking medication repeatedly and reminding the user of the medication time. However, the effect of this reminder is not obvious, and patients in the hospital may still ignore the reminder information, and then miss the medication time or take the wrong medication. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an inductive voice reminder device for drug use in order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art. Through the timing function and voice broadcast of drug use methods, it reminds patients to use drugs safely, ensures the safety of patients' medication, meets clinical nursing needs, and saves nurse human resources.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
