Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a medication support device, and in particular to a "medication board" that organizes and holds medication pouches such as individually packaged medicine bags to prevent forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when managing medication at home or in a care facility, a "medication calendar" in which medication packets are stored in pockets by day or time period has been widely used. However, with the pocket-style design, the medicine bag is hidden deep inside, making it difficult to see, making it difficult to see. In addition, it requires fingertip manipulation when removing the bag, making it difficult for elderly people and those with limited dexterity to use. In addition, there is a method of replacing the medicine bag with a case or cassette, but this increases the amount of work and often hides information such as the date and time of taking the medicine printed on the medicine bag. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The purpose of this device is to prevent forgetting to take medicine or taking the wrong medicine by easily hanging, organizing, and holding medicine bags, and to make the information on the medicine bag easier to see. Furthermore, the aim is to reduce the burden of medication management on elderly people and their caregivers, and to make it easier to provide medication support at home or in facilities. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The medication board of the present invention has a holder detachably attached to a hanging portion on a flat board, which holds the medication bags. Clamp-type clips, such as paper clips, can be used. The board can be marked with a day of the week or time, allowing for a weekly schedule by day of the week or a daily schedule by time. The board can also be wall-mounted or freestanding, allowing for flexible installation depending on the environment. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] 1. The medicine bag can be hung and kept visible, preventing forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medicine. 2. The holder makes it easy to attach and detach the medicine bag, simplifying the process of changing and preparing medicine. 3. The date and dosage time information printed on the medicine bag can be seen without being hidden, improving reliability. 4. It can be installed as a wall-mounted or freestanding type, allowing for flexible operation according to the usage environment. The freestanding type is particularly convenient as it can be placed within reach of the user and can be taken out without moving when taking medication. 5. Reduce the burden on elderly people and their caregivers, and make it easier to provide medication support at home or in facilities. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] The medicine board of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figure 1, the medicine board of the present invention comprises a flat board (1), a plurality of hanging portions (5) protruding forward from the board (1), and holders (2) detachably attached to the hanging portions (5). The holders (2) are configured to easily clamp and hang medicine bags (4), and can be, for example, clip-on clips or paper clips. The medicine bags (4) are individually packaged medication bags, and by hanging them on the hanging portions (5) using the holders (2), they are organized and easily visible. As shown in FIG. 2, the board (1) can be used as a wall-mounted type that is fixed to the wall, or as a freestanding type that is provided with legs. As shown in Figure 3, the holder (2) can be in various forms, such as a clip or a paper clip-type hook, allowing users to select the type based on ease of use and cost. As shown in Figure 4, the medicine board of this invention can adopt a form in which the display (3) is set for each day of the week, or a form in which it is set for each medication time, such as morning, afternoon, evening, or before bed. By matching the display (3) with the hanging part (5), the user can hang the medicine bags (4) in an organized manner by day of the week or time, which helps prevent forgetting to take medicine or taking the wrong medicine. [Example]

[0008] [Example 1: Day-by-day type] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the medicine board of this invention has a hanging portion (5) on a flat board (1), and a holder (2) is hung on this hanging portion (5) to hang a medicine bag (4). The display (3) indicates "Mon," "Tue," "Wed," "Thu," "Fri," "Sat," "Sun," and "Reserve," and by hanging a medicine bag (4) at the position of each day of the week, it is easy to manage a week's worth of medication. As shown in FIG. 2, the board (1) can be used as a wall-mounted type or as a freestanding type with legs.

[0009] [Example 2: Hourly Type] As shown in Figure 4, the board (1) is provided with a hanging portion (5), on which a holder (2) is hung, and medicine bags (4) are hung in an organized manner by time of day. The signs (3) indicate "morning," "afternoon," "evening," and "before bedtime," and by hanging the medicine bags (4) in positions corresponding to each time period, it is possible to clearly manage medication by time of day. In addition to the wall-mounted type shown on the left of Figure 4, it can also be used as a stationary type shown on the right of Figure 4. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] The medicine board of this invention uses a holder to organize and hold medication pouches such as single-packaged medicine bags, and can be widely used for medication support in home medical care and nursing facilities. Unlike conventional pocket-type medicine calendars, it holds medicine pouches with good visibility and allows for easy access, making medication management less burdensome for the elderly and their caregivers. Furthermore, the concept of this invention can be expanded beyond wall-mounted and freestanding boards to other medication support devices, such as multi-stage stand-type and automatic discharge types. Therefore, the present invention is highly practical in the field of home care, welfare facilities, medical institutions, etc., and has industrial applicability. [Explanation of symbols]
