Hanging medication support stand

Abstract

To provide a medication support stand that allows easier and more reliable medication management by making medication visible, easy to take out, preventing forgetting to take medication, and clearly indicating the time to take medication. [Solution] The medication support stand is a stand-type medication management device designed to assist with medication administration. By hanging medication bags on a rotating body with radial arms using color-coded clips, the day of the week or date (1st to 31st) and morning, afternoon, or night can be identified at a glance. The standard configuration is one level (one week), but this can be expanded to a maximum of five levels (approximately one month) by adding support columns and rotating bodies with radial arms. The number of radial arms on the rotating body can be selected from seven to a maximum of 12, and when expanded, the stand diameter increases to 343 mm to ensure stability. The top is equipped with an alarm that can be set to up to five times, preventing patients from forgetting to take their medication.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a device for managing medication, and in particular to a hanging stand that helps the elderly and those who need medication management manage the time and order of taking medication. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, medication calendars and pill cases have been used to manage medication, but they have had issues such as medications being hard to see, difficult to take out, and difficulty in knowing at a glance when to take medication. Additionally, elderly people have difficulty using their strength to take out medications from the pockets of conventional calendars.

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support device that solves the conventional problems of visibility of medicines, ease of taking medicines, prevention of forgetting to take medicines, and indication of the time to take medicines, and makes it easier and more reliable to manage medication administration.

[0004] The hanging medication support stand of this invention has a rotatable arm and multiple hanging hooks corresponding to the days of the week or dates. Medicines are held in place by the bag with clips, and the clips are color-coded by time of day to improve visibility. There is also a timer with an alarm on the top of the main unit, which sounds to remind you to take your medication at the set time. Furthermore, the stand's tier configuration can be expanded by adding poles and rotating bodies with radial arms, and it can be stacked up to five tiers to manage a month's worth of medication. Effects of the invention

[0005] This device significantly improves the ease of access, visibility, and management of medications, helping to prevent medication errors. Furthermore, the tiered structure allows for flexible changes to the management period, making it suitable for use in a variety of settings, including home care and elderly care facilities.

[0006] In one example, a support pillar is attached to the base, and a rotating body with radial arms is placed in the center. The arms are equipped with seven support pillars with day displays, each with three hooks. This allows morning, afternoon, and evening medications to be hung separately. An alarm device with five time settings is attached to the top of the support pillar. The device is simple and notifies the user with a sound at the set time. The clips are color-coded, allowing for distinctions such as red (morning), yellow (afternoon), and blue (evening). This stand starts with one tier and can be configured up to five tiers by adding support pillars and rotating bodies with radial arms, making it possible to manage medication administration on a monthly basis. As shown in Figure 1, the medication support stand of the present invention has a support pole standing vertically on a circular base, and a rotating body with radial arms is attached to the support pole. The radial arm rotor can be expanded from one stage to a maximum of five stages, and as shown in Figure 2, when configured in two stages, it is possible to manage two weeks' worth of medication. As shown in Figure 3, the overall structure is simple, and the medicine bag can be hung with a clip, allowing for easy management of the medication time, day of the week, and date. The day-of-the-week plates on this stand can be replaced with plates that display the day of the week or the date (1st to 31st) depending on the user's needs, and the stand is designed to accommodate specific medication schedules and the management of single-packaged medications. The rotating body has seven arms as standard, but this can be expanded to a maximum of 12, and is designed primarily for use in managing dates and divisions. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
