Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary products technology, and in particular to a home medication auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] For some elderly people living at home, due to memory decline, multiple medications, etc., it is easy to have problems such as taking the wrong medication or missing a dose. For example, some elderly people always forget to take their medication, or they take the medication and then forget whether they have taken it or not. For elderly people with poor eyesight, it is easy to take the wrong medication.
[0003] In existing technologies, artificial neural networks are simply referred to as neural networks or connection models. They are a mathematical model of algorithms that mimics the behavioral characteristics of animal neural networks to perform distributed parallel information processing. This type of network relies on the complexity of the system to achieve the purpose of processing information by adjusting the interconnection relationships between a large number of internal nodes. In recent years, it has been widely used in various industries. This technology has also been applied in existing patents. For example, the national patent with patent publication number CN219246104U applies artificial neural networks.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a home medication assistance device based on neural networks to help elderly people take their medication on time and accurately. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a home medication assistance device based on neural network technology to help elderly people at home take their medication on time and accurately.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A home medication assistance device includes a neural network controller and a database connected to the neural network controller. Its distinguishing feature is that the home medication assistance device also includes a base, a connecting rod, a housing, a touch screen, a timing module, a voice broadcast module, a recognition camera, and a medicine tray. The housing is positioned above the base, and the housing and base are connected via the connecting rod. The neural network controller, database, timing module, and voice broadcast module are all housed within the housing. The touch screen is located on the side wall of the housing, and the recognition camera is located on the lower surface of the housing. The touch screen, timing module, voice broadcast module, and recognition camera are all electrically connected to the neural network controller. The medicine tray is positioned on the base.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This utility model provides a home medication assistance device. Family members input the medication time slots, the type and quantity of medication the elderly person needs to take during each time slot into a neural network controller via a touchscreen display. The neural network controller then controls the timing module to start timing. When a medication time slot is reached, the neural network controller activates the voice broadcast module to remind the elderly person to take their medication. The elderly person then uses a medicine tray to collect the medication for that time slot. After collecting the medication, the elderly person places the medicine tray under a recognition camera. The recognition camera identifies and photographs the medication in the tray and sends the image information to the neural network controller. The neural network controller identifies the quantity of medication and compares the color, shape, and size of the medication with standard reference objects in a database to determine if the quantity and type of medication in the tray are correct. If correct, the controller activates the voice broadcast module to announce that the medication can be taken. If incorrect, it announces medication error, overdose, or missing medication to remind the elderly person to change, remove, or replenish the medication. Thus, this home medication assistance device can help elderly people take their medication on time and accurately. Attached Figure Description

[0018] In this embodiment, the neural network controller 1 and the database 2 are connected via a USB data cable. The database 2 stores the appearance characteristics of various drugs, such as color, shape, and size, which serve as standard references. The neural network controller 1, connected to the database 2, can perform distributed parallel information processing. By adjusting the interconnections between a large number of internal nodes, it achieves the purpose of information processing. The neural network controller 1 in this embodiment has an internal memory for programming, allowing computer programs to be written in. It can execute instructions for stored logical operations, sequential control, and arithmetic operations, and has data input / output pins (I / O pins), a USB interface, and an RS232 interface for connecting to other electronic components.
[0019] In this embodiment, the touch display screen 6 is an MT500 touch display screen, which is connected to the RS2323 interface of the neural network controller 1 via an RS232 data cable, thereby realizing communication between the two.
[0020] The timing module 7 in this embodiment includes a DS1302 timing chip and peripheral circuitry. The SCLK pin, I / O pin, and CE pin of the DS1302 timing chip are electrically connected to the I / O pin of the neural network controller 1, respectively.

When the medicine tray 10 is not in use, it can be inverted on the protrusion 31, that is, the groove and the protrusion 31 are locked together to prevent the groove from being contaminated.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is:
[0027] First, family members input the medication time slots, the type and quantity of medication the elderly person needs to take during each time slot into the neural network controller 1 via the touch screen 6. Then, the neural network controller 1 controls the timing module 7 to start timing. When a medication time slot is reached, the neural network controller 1 controls the voice broadcast module 8 to issue a voice reminder that the elderly person needs to take their medication. The elderly person then uses the medicine tray 10 to collect the medication for that time slot. After collecting the medication, the elderly person places the medicine tray 10 under the recognition camera 9. The recognition camera 9 identifies and photographs the medication in the medicine tray 10 and then sends the photo information to the neural network controller 1. The neural network controller 1 identifies the quantity of medication and, simultaneously, uses standard reference objects in the database 2 to determine the color and shape of the medication. The device compares the appearance (size, etc.) of the medication in the medicine tray 10 to determine if the quantity and type of medication are correct. If correct, the voice broadcast module 8 announces that the medication can be taken, reminding the elderly person to take it. If incorrect, it announces medication error, overdose, or missing medication, reminding the elderly person to replace, remove, or replenish the medication. The corresponding information is displayed on the touch screen 6. After replacing, removing, or replenishing the medication, the recognition continues until the medication is correctly identified. If the elderly person does not bring the medication to the recognition camera 9 for identification within this time period, the neural network controller 1 will send a text message to the family member's mobile phone via the network module 20 to inform the family member that the elderly person has not taken the medication during this time period. Thus, the home medication assistance device of this embodiment can help elderly people at home take their medication on time and accurately.
