Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to eye drops medicine dropping auxiliary tool technical field especially, relate to a mydriatic agent reminding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mydriatic agent (such as atropine, tropicamide) is widely used in ophthalmic examination (such as mydriatic refraction, fundus examination), treatment (such as uveitis, iridocyclitis) and preoperative preparation (such as cataract surgery), and needs to be strictly used according to time interval multiple times (such as every 5 minutes, a total of 3 times). In the prior art, it is mainly divided into artificial timing and timing tool auxiliary reminding.

[0003] Its main difficulties are: ① patients are easy to forget mydriatic time, resulting in deviation of examination results, reduced curative effect or surgical failure;② traditional reminding methods (such as mobile phone alarm, paper record) rely on active memory and are easy to be ignored;③ children and old patients are inconvenient to operate and need to rely on family members for assistance.

[0004] The existing medical reminding tools mainly include:

[0005] (1) general intelligent reminding equipment: ① smart bracelet / watch: support custom medication reminders, but have the following limitations: need to be linked with mobile phones, operation is complex;Vibration intensity is low and easy to be ignored;No targeted adaptation to eye drop use scenarios. ② Independent reminder device: such as small timer, which needs to be set manually and cannot be linked with medication action.

[0006] (2) eye drop special auxiliary device: ① intelligent bottle cap: integrated timer, records the opening time and reminds, but is limited to the bottle end and cannot adapt to multiple bottle scenarios;② medicine dropping auxiliary support: auxiliary alignment of eye, no time reminding function;③ wearable visual prompting device: such as head-mounted reminding glasses, which is large in size and poor in portability.

[0007] (3) ring-shaped wearable device technology: ① health monitoring ring: monitors heart rate and blood oxygen, and the function focuses on physiological indicators without active reminding module;② interactive control ring: such as gesture recognition ring, which identifies actions through motion sensors, but is not combined with medication scenarios.

[0008] At the same time, the existing equipment (such as smart bracelet, independent timer) only provides one-way timing reminder and cannot detect whether the patient actually completes the medicine dropping action, resulting in the risk of "false medication" (the patient turns off the reminder but does not actually drop the medicine). And it is not optimized for the "high frequency and short interval medication characteristics" (such as every 5 minutes, a total of 3 times) of mydriatic agent, resulting in low reminding efficiency;General equipment (such as mobile phone alarm) needs to be set repeatedly, and the operation is complicated;The bottle end sensor cannot adapt to the multiple bottle alternating use scenarios (such as simultaneous use of mydriatic agent and artificial tears).

[0009] And, the human-computer interaction experience is poor: the existing reminding mode (single vibration, sound) is easy to be ignored, and lacks intuitive feedback mechanism, such as: the vibration intensity of the smart bracelet is low, and is easy to be ignored during the activity; the head-mounted reminding device is large in size, is not comfortable to wear, and the light prompt may interfere with the vision. Children, the elderly and the visually impaired have low acceptance to complex devices, and the existing technology relies on active operation or visual interaction, such as: the smart medicine bottle needs to manually input the medication plan, which is not friendly to the elderly; the gesture recognition ring relies on accurate action operation, and is difficult to be used by children or people with limited hand movement.

[0010] In addition, the contradiction between endurance and miniaturization is prominent: the existing wearable devices (such as health monitoring rings) are forced to sacrifice endurance or sensor accuracy in pursuit of miniaturization. The risks of "forgetting to drop medicine" and "repeating dropping medicine" coexist: due to the lack of medication action verification, patients may miss or misjudge the dropped medicine, leading to failure of examination / treatment / surgery. Children and the elderly need to rely on family members to assist in setting up the reminding device, which violates the "self-administration" demand. At the same time, the family members have limited view after wearing, which is not convenient for the elderly and children who need help to enter the plan. Poor device use compliance: heavy design or frequent charging leads to patient abandonment, and the traditional inefficient reminding mode (such as paper records) is returned to.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the watch face 2 has a PCB circuit board electrically connected with the control display panel 3, and the reminding module comprises a vibration motor installed in the watch face 2 and electrically connected with the PCB circuit board, so that the watch face 2 can vibrate to remind when the preset reminding time is reached. Further, the reminding module further comprises a buzzer installed in the watch face 2 and electrically connected with the PCB circuit board, so that the watch face 2 can make a sound to remind when the preset reminding time is reached. Further, the watch face 2 has a grid-shaped sound hole 14 on the upper surface, so that the sound emitted by the buzzer is more easily heard by the outside world. Further, the reminding module further comprises a ring-shaped LED light strip 10 embedded on the outer peripheral wall of the watch face 2 and electrically connected with the PCB circuit board, so that the watch face 2 can light up to remind when the preset reminding time is reached. Further, the outer peripheral wall of the watch face 2 has a ring-shaped groove 11 for embedding the ring-shaped LED light strip 10. Further, the control display panel 3 comprises a digital display panel 12 and a plurality of physical buttons 13 arranged on the upper end surface of the watch face 2, which can be set according to the requirements of the reminding time, the reminding frequency, the reminding mode, and the reminding period.

And has low power consumption multi-modal reminder: using gradient reminder strategy (primary vibration → strong vibration + LED red light flicker + voice), balance the reminder efficiency and energy consumption. Specifically, after the user wears the ring 1, the infrared sensor detects the finger and sends the wearing signal to the PCB circuit board, the user can preset the reminder period on the digital panel 12 through the physical button 13, for example, remind once every five minutes, a total of three times, and start timing, the first five minutes arrives, first, the vibration motor action is executed, the vibration reminder is executed, after a period of time, for example, half a minute, if the six-axis gyroscope does not detect the above action chain, the reminder of strong vibration + LED red light flicker + voice is executed, the patient stops the reminder through the physical button 13 or performs the "pick up the medicine bottle-inverted drip" action, stops the reminder, and after detecting the completion of the action, the second timing is performed, and the action is performed in the same way. In addition, the ring-shaped LED light strip 10 can also be used as a light source in the night or dim environment.
