Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to medication support devices, and in particular to clips for visibly holding and hanging bags containing medicine dispensed at pharmacies, or bags containing medicines or supplements sorted at home. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, medication management has widely used methods such as medication calendars and small boxed containers for storing individually packaged medications. However, these methods require the time and effort of replacing the medication bags, and it can sometimes be difficult to read the medication times and dates printed on the bags. On the other hand, it is possible to use commercially available clips such as clothespins or paper clips to hang the medicine bag, but these do not have any indication of the day or time to take the medicine, making it unclear how the time and day of the week it corresponds to the medicine, and are not sufficiently effective in preventing forgetting to take the medicine or taking the wrong medicine. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] With conventional medicine calendars and containers, it was cumbersome to swap medicine bags, and it was difficult to directly check the medication times and dates printed on the medicine bags. Furthermore, when using commercially available clips, the lack of information indicating the day of the week or time of the scheduled dose meant that they were insufficient in preventing forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication. Furthermore, when taking medications or supplements dispensed from multiple medical institutions at the same time, it was difficult to organize and manage them all together. This invention aims to solve these conventional problems by hanging medicine bags in a visible manner and displaying information such as the day of the week, time, and date of the scheduled dose on the clip itself, thereby preventing forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication and facilitating medication management. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The clip for hanging a medicine bag has a holding part that holds the medicine bag in an easily detachable manner and a hanging part that allows the holding part to be hung. The holding part has a display part that can display the day of the week, medication time, date, etc. Furthermore, according to this invention, even if medications and supplements dispensed by multiple medical institutions are taken at the same time, each medication bag can be kept together and hung up for organization, improving visibility and allowing the day, time, and date of medication to be clearly confirmed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] 1. Preventing forgetting to take medication and taking the wrong medication The medicine bag 2 can be hung and held with good visibility by the holding part 3, so that the printed information on the medicine bag can be easily checked against the day of the week, time to take medicine, date, etc. displayed on the display part 5, and forgetting to take medicine or taking the wrong medicine can be surely prevented. 2. Raising user awareness By displaying the day of the week, medication time, date, etc. on display unit 5, the user will naturally develop the habit of being aware of the date and time before and after taking medication, which will contribute to maintaining a sense of time and daily rhythm, especially for elderly people. 3. Compatible with a variety of installation environments The hanging part is not limited to the hook part, but can also be a ring part, magnet part, or clip part, so it can be flexibly selected depending on the installation location and usage environment, allowing for a variety of usage forms to be suited to users and facilities. 4. Easy to put on and take off for improved convenience The holder 3 is configured so that the medicine bag can be easily attached and detached, which simplifies the preparation and replacement of the medicine bag, thereby reducing the burden on caregivers and family members. 5. Since medications and supplements dispensed from multiple medical institutions can be managed together, the burden of medication management on users and caregivers can be further reduced. 6. Hanging the device improves visibility, and the day of the week, time, and date can be checked instantly from the display, making it possible to more reliably prevent forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication.

[0007] The clip for hanging a medicine bag of the present invention comprises a holding part that can detachably hold a medicine bag and a hanging part that is integral with the holding part. The holding part has a clamping structure that holds the medicine bag by friction or elastic force. Furthermore, the holding part or its vicinity may be provided with a display part that displays information such as the day of the week, medication time, and date. [Example]

[0008] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] The clip 1 for hanging medicine bags in this embodiment has a paper clip-like holding part 3, which holds medicine bags 2 in an easily detachable manner. The holding part 3 is provided with a display part 5 that displays information such as "month" and "morning." By hanging the hanging part 4 on a wall-mounted fixture or a board-like organizer, the medicine bags 2 can be organized and held with good visibility. As an example of use, by hanging a large number of these clips 1 on a medicine bag organizing board and arranging them by day of the week or by medication time, it is possible to more reliably prevent forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication (see Figure 1).

[0010] The hanging part recited in claim 1 is not limited to the hanging part 4 as shown in Fig. 2, but may be configured to hang the medicine bag 2 using a ring part, a magnet part, or a clip part. This allows for flexible use by selecting from a variety of forms depending on the installation location and usage environment (see Fig. 2).

[0011] As shown in Figure 3, the display unit 5 displays the day of the week (e.g., "Monday"), the time of taking the medicine (e.g., "morning"), the date (e.g., "1"), etc. This allows the user to easily compare the contents printed on the medicine bag 2 with the display on the display unit 5, ensuring that the user does not forget to take the medicine or take the wrong medicine.

[0012] As an example of use, as shown in Figure 4, by arranging multiple clips for hanging medicine bags on a wall fixture or organizer, users can easily check the day of the week, time, and date of medication, and more reliably prevent forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication. This makes medication management at home or in a facility even easier and more reliable.

[0013] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes various modifications based on design changes, material selection, etc. [Industrial Applicability]

[0014] The medicine bag hanging clip of this invention can be used not only for medication management at home, but also for medication support in nursing homes, hospitals, pharmacies, etc. Because it keeps medicine bags visible and allows them to be organized according to day of the week and medication time, it helps prevent forgetting to take medication or taking the wrong medication, making it widely usable in the medical and nursing care fields. It can also be used for supplement intake management and health management at home, making it useful in a wide range of fields, including the medical and welfare industries. [Explanation of symbols]
