Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent portable medicine boxes, in particular to an intelligent portable medicine box. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of medical standards, many diseases can be alleviated or cured through drug treatment. For example, patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and patients with mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia all need to take long-term medication and maintain treatment.

[0003] Among all the patients who need long-term medication, more than 100 million patients with mental illness (including severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc., and mild mental illness, such as depression) are a very special group. These people need long-term medication due to the characteristics of their illness. According to relevant research, long-term medication according to doctor's orders is an important means to prevent relapse of mental illness, hospitalization, self-harm and suicide, and improve cure rates. However, due to various reasons, this group has low medication compliance. Literature and field visits show that the main reason for the low medication compliance of patients with mental illness is that they often forget to take medication and take medication irregularly.

[0004] So far, there has been little research specifically focusing on the medication compliance of patients with mental illness from the perspective of medicine boxes and drug management. Solving such problems is an urgent need.

[0005] There are many smart medicine boxes on the market that can remind people to take medicine. However, due to different populations, those medicine boxes are helpful for patients with chronic physical diseases and elderly patients. However, for people with mental illnesses such as emotional instability, irregular medication, and forgetting to take medication, the smart reminder medicine boxes currently available on the market cannot meet their needs.

[0006] The existing medicine boxes have the following problems:

[0007] 1) The functions are too complicated and the operation is relatively complex. The missing medicine box only has the necessary functions, resulting in a waste of resources and a high price.

[0008] 2) The medicine box grid is not easy to adjust: the existing medicine box has a fixed size of medicine grid, which cannot be automatically adjusted according to the size of different medicines, making the storage of medicines not flexible enough. In addition, it has a general opening and closing cover, which easily causes the risk of medicines in other grids falling and being abandoned when taking medicines. Of course, in order to solve this problem, there are also medicine boxes with opening and closing covers on each grid. However, due to the limited number of grids, when it is necessary to classify and store medicines for multiple days, you can only bring multiple medicine boxes.

[0009] 3) Inconvenient to carry: Some smart medicine boxes are too large, making it inconvenient for users to carry them when going out. Putting the medicine box in a backpack is difficult to find and easy to lose, affecting the continuity of drug management.

[0010] 4) Fragile and easily damaged: The shells of some smart medicine boxes are not drop-resistant and can be easily damaged, which may affect the drugs or make the medicine boxes unable to be used normally.

[0011] Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned situation, the original intention of the utility model patent to propose a portable medicine box with multiple functions is to solve these problems, provide a more comprehensive, convenient and safe drug management solution, and enhance the user experience.
