Description

[0001] MEDICATION INTAKE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

[0002] Technical Area

[0003] The invention relates to a medication intake control system and method that enables monitoring and controlling patients' compliance and routine process of medication intake.

[0004] In particular, the invention relates to a medication intake control system and a medication intake control method that enables the control of the compliance process of patients who need to take medication regularly, such as the elderly, the disabled and people who take multiple medications, with medication schedules and times, to monitor the time and amount / dosage of medication by detecting user movements, to alert the user in case of non-compliance with the medication intake time or the amount of medication to be taken, and to inform the healthcare personnel and / or the person responsible for the patient, without the need to use the internet, remote connection or an external electronic device.

[0005] State of the Art

[0006] Patients such as the elderly, disabled or those with chronic illnesses often require multiple and regular medication use to treat or control their impaired physical and / or cognitive functions. Although patients who are usually cared for by relatives or caregivers can get help in terms of medication processes, it is not always possible to take one or more medications regularly and in the right amount, especially for patients living alone, and this causes problems such as ineffective treatment. Also, it is very difficult for a non-professional relative or caregiver to follow the prescriptions written for the patient. Therefore, it is especially important that the patient and the person responsible for the patient are warned and informed about the use of medication.

[0007] The most common medication use failures are not taking medicines on time, confusing the medicines, taking the wrong dose and / or the wrong way. T aking medicines regularly and correctly is especially important for patients with chronic diseases such as the elderly, disabled patients, patients of all age groups who use multiple medications, patients with weakened cognitive functions, patients with dementia, patients with mood disorders, and patients who use medication types with a narrow safe use range. In this context, drug poisoning cases resulting from not taking the correct amount and / or type of medication constitute an important topic among emergency room visits and are life-threatening. Current practices use alarms or alarmed medicine boxes that act as reminders, such as mobile phone applications. Reminder apps require the patient to have a phone and also the ability to use a smartphone. However, patients with weakened cognitive functions, especially those with dementia, may not remember whether they have taken their medications or not, even if the application or pillbox-type reminders provide a warning. Also, the issuance of prescriptions for medicines often requires that these applications be organized and updated by the patients themselves. This makes it difficult for physicians to monitor patients' medication use and can lead to risky situations for the patient's health.

[0008] In a patent document numbered CN106005690A, which is in the state of the art, a medication storage container and a medication reminder system are described. The medication storage container includes a storage container and a medication intake detection unit, control unit and communication unit. The storage container is used for a single medication or for storing different medications in separate containers, while the medication intake detection unit enables the timing of medication intake. Detection of medication intake is carried out by a weight sensor or a counter that measures the weight change in the container body. If there is more than one storage area, these sensors can control each container separately. The control unit, which can optionally be connected to a display unit configured to display information about the medication and the patient, evaluates whether the medication has been taken on time. Again, an input unit that can be connected to this unit can be used to update information about the medication and the patient. The communication unit sends these signals to a cloud server. The secondary communication unit receives the signals from the primary communication unit and sends them to the processing unit. The document does not mention a solution for controlling / monitoring the time and quantity of the patient's medication intake by detecting the user's movements without the use of a remote connection or an external electronic / mobile device.

[0009] Another patent document CN109541930A of the state of the art discloses a multifunctional waterproof / moisture-proof smartwatch that can be used for medication reminders and monitoring physiological indicators. It consists of intelligent physiological indicator monitoring system, mobile application management system, data record storage, medication intake reminder system, GPS location system, voice control system, communication system, alarm system and battery monitoring system modules. The intelligent physiological indicator monitoring system built into the smartwatch can record the user's physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse and heartbeat in real time and transmit these data to the data recording storage system via the communication system to store them in a way that can be viewed via the smart bracelet or mobile application. Also, thanks to the GPS positioning system, family members can learn the location of the user. The mobile application management system, which allows the functions of the smartwatch to be controlled, is connected to the smart physiological indicator monitoring system, which is connected to all modules, via wireless network or Bluetooth. According to the information processed in the software, the medication reminder function is performed via smartwatch, mobile application or both, with sound, vibration, etc., showing the medication time, medication name, medication intake method, warnings, etc. The document in question does not mention a solution for controlling and monitoring the time and amount of medication taken by patients by detecting user movements without using a remote connection or an external electronic / mobile device.

[0010] As a result, there is a need to develop a medication intake control system and a medication intake control method for the operation of this system that enables controlling the compliance process of patients with medication intake programs, monitoring the status, time and amount / dosage of medication intake by detecting user movements, warning the user in case of non-compliance with the medication prescription and informing the person responsible for the patient without the need to use the internet, remote connection, an external electronic device or mobile device.

[0011] Purpose of the Invention

[0012] The present invention relates to a medication intake control system and method that meets the above-mentioned requirements, eliminates possible disadvantages and provides some additional advantages.

[0038] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0039] In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the medication intake system and method subject to the invention are explained only for a better understanding of the subject and in a way that does not create any limiting effect.

[0040] A medication intake control system, the exemplary view of which is given in Figure 1 , developed with the present invention, without the need to use the internet, remote connection, an external electronic device or a mobile device, to control the medication intake process of the patient / user and to detect and monitor the medication intake status, time and amount / dosage by detecting the user's movements, to warn the user in case of not taking medication and / or taking the wrong amount of medication and to inform the person responsible for medication monitoring, includes at least one body (1), preferably made of polymer material suitable for use in three-dimensional printing, preferably in the structure of a wristwatch or wristband, preferably made of polymer material suitable for use in three-dimensional printing, which is suitable for positioning on the user's hand, wrist and / or arm, which allows the elements of the system positioned in or on it to be carried and the system to be connected to the user's hand, wrist and I or arm; at least one timing element (2), preferably a real time clock (RTC) sensor, which is positioned in the body (1) and enables real-time clock information to be obtained instantaneously. In addition, it includes at least one warning element (3), preferably with buzzer and / or vibration motor structure, located in the body (1), which warns the user with sound and / or vibration when it is time to take the medication, in case of incorrect, missing and / or excessive medication intake; at least one display element (4), preferably with LCD screen and / or led light indicator, located in the body (1), which provides visual transmission of medication content, dosage, medication intake time, medication intake status and warning information to the user; at least one motion sensor element (5), preferably a multi-axis Gyro sensor, which is positioned in the body (1) and enables the detection of physical movements and the generation of motion information when the user takes the medication; at least one sound detection element (6), preferably a microphone, located on the body (1) and enabling the detection of the sound of opening the medicine box and / or breaking / tearing the medicine package before the user takes the medicine and the generation of sound information. The system also includes at least one proximity sensor element (7), preferably a proximity sensor, which is positioned on the body (1) and enables the distance between the user's hand and face to be measured and distance information to be generated when the user takes the medication; at least one temperature sensor element (8), preferably a heat or infrared sensor, positioned on the body (1) and enabling the measurement of the temperature change caused by approaching the face of the user's hand while taking the medication and the generation of temperature information; at least one storage element (9), preferably in internal, removable (SD, MicroSD) and / or external memory structure, located in the body (1) and connected to the elements of the system, which allows the type of medication, dosage and time of intake, the first measurement information taken from the sensor elements (5, 6, 7, 8) during the first use of the system including at least one use by the user, and the sequential measurement information taken from the sensor elements (5, 6, 7, 8) during each medication intake process other than the first use, to be recorded separately. Also, the system includes at least one control element (10), preferably in Arduino Nano microcontroller structure, located in the body (1) and connected to the elements belonging to the system, which matches the real time information from the timing element (2) and the type of medication taken from the storage element (9), the dosage and the time of taking the medication, and enables the warning element (3) and / or the display element (4) to be activated at the time of taking the medication, and matches the initial measurement information and sequential measurement information, and enables the warning element (3) and / or the display element (4) to be activated and the user to be warned in case of missing or different information from the initial measurement information.

[0041] In an exemplary application of the medication intake control system developed with the present invention, firstly, after the medication intake control system is attached to the patient's arm (wrist) via the body (1), the patient is ensured to take the medication in the prescribed amount / dosage for the first time and the medication intake time information in the prescription is entered into the control element (10). During this first intake, the physical movements performed by the patient are detected by the motion sensor element (5) and the first movement information is created and recorded in the storage element (9). Meanwhile, the sound of the patient opening the medicine box and / or breaking / tearing the medicine package is detected by the sound sensor element (6) and the first sound information is created and recorded in the storage element (9). Similarly, the distance between the patient's hand and face while taking the medicine is measured by the proximity sensor element (7) and the first distance information is created and recorded in the storage element (9). Similarly, the temperature change that occurs when the patient's hand approaches his / her face while taking the medication is measured by the heat sensor element (8) and the first temperature information is created and recorded in the storage element (9). All initial measurement information obtained at the first use is stored in the storage element (9) and the same processes are repeated for all subsequent medication intakes by the patient, ensuring that the sequential measurement information is recorded in the storage element (9). During each medication taking process after the patient takes the medication, the instant real time information received from the timing element (2) is transferred to the control element (10) and when the time to take the medication in the prescription comes, the warning element (3) is activated by the control element (10) and the patient is warned by sound or vibration that it is time to take the medication. During this time, the display element (4) is preferably activated by the control element (10) and the time to take the medication and information about the medication to be taken (medicine name, dosage, etc.) are visually communicated to the user. Then, by means of the patient's control element (10), the first measurement information received from the sensor elements (5, 6, 7, 8) is compared with the sequential measurement information received in subsequent uses, and if missing or different information is detected, the warning element (3) and / or the display element (4) is activated to warn the patient by vibration, sound and / or visual means, and both the patient and the person responsible for the patient are informed about the situation of not taking, missing or excessive-taking the medication.

[0042] In an exemplary use of the system, prescription information is defined by the health professional to the control element (10). This process can be done with a planned interface application and the application includes information such as the name of the medication used, the times of use during the day and the dates between which it will be used. The time of use of the medicine is defined by the instantaneous time data coming from the timing element (2), which is the RTC (Real Time Clock) sensor of the system. The interface allows the system to identify the medications to be taken, to remind them with a buzzer, and to see and / or hear them audibly and in writing on the flow diagram on the display element (4) containing the LCD screen. After being reminded of the name and dosage of the medication to be taken in the treatment regimen, the motion sensor element (5) containing the 3-Axis GYRO sensor starts working to identify the physical movements the patient made while using the medication in the first 30 minutes. If the defined movements work in harmony with the algorithm, the system assumes that the patient has taken his / her medication and does not give a warning. If the GYRO sensor does not detect the defined medication use movement within the specified time range, it assumes that the patient has not used the medication and warns by writing the name of the medication on the screen and vibrating. In order for the movement to be taught to the device, the person is asked to perform the normal medicine intake movement preferably 5-7 times and this is done by detecting it by the motion sensor. In order to control the operation of the system, a program is defined in C language using the control element (10), which is the Arduino Nano microcontroller. The sound sensor element (6) containing a microphone and the display element (4) containing a LED light up when a sound of 30-50 decibels is heard. The heat sensor element (8), which contains an infrared sensor, measures the temperature in certain places and is set to light up when the temperature is maximum or when a +2 degree increase from the ambient temperature is detected and a level difference of at least 25 centimeters is detected, and all processes are communicated to the user with an audible warning. Thus, the information about whether the medication intake period has started or not is supported. People can turn off the audio warning system if they wish. When the person completes the medication intake period, the information is stored in the storage element (9) containing the SD card and the process ends. This information can then be checked and monitored by the user and / or authorized healthcare personnel.
