PILL USAGE CHRONOLOG AND REMINDER

患者的依从性和由此产生的治疗效果是主要的 对新药研究、临床试验和问题患者的关注。 第一阶段证明了在第二阶段开发所需的技术是廉价的 避孕药配药、记录、提醒、用药分析系统。这个 系统将包含一个带有显示屏的微型录音提醒模块 和报警器，一种具有传感电路和 用于分析结果的解释器。 电子记录装置将记录每个日期和时间 分配的药丸，以后通过连接到微型计算机来调用。一个 可以将处方方案加载到设备中以提醒 能回忆起上一次使用、下一次使用和 该吃哪种药。记录装置可从分配器上拆卸 可重新装填的墨盒。整个设备的大小将相当于一张信用卡 任何大小的卡片计算器和手柄药丸。 这些药筒将像商业包装的药物一样制造 用铝箔衬垫塑料封装。感官内部的电路 当药丸被推入体内时，衬垫会被破坏。 这种设备的市场包括制药公司、研究机构、 诊所、医院、医生和病人。

Patient compliance and the resulting effectiveness of treatment are major concerns in new drug studies, clinical trials and with problem patients. Phase I proved the technology needed to develop in Phase II an inexpensive pill dispensing, recording, reminding and usage analysis system. The system will contain a miniature recording reminding module with a display and alarm, a disposable pill cartridge with sensing circuitry and an interpreter for analyzing results. The electronic recording device will record date and time for each dispensed pill to be later recalled by coupling to a microcomputer. A prescription regimen may be loaded into the device for the reminding of the patient who can recall the last time of use, the next time to be used and which pill to take. The recording device is detachable from the dispenser cartridges for refills. The entire device will be the size of a credit card calculator and handle pills of any size. The cartridges will be manufactured like commercially packaged medications plastically encapsulated with foil backing. Circuitry within senses the destruction of the backing when the pills are pushed through. The market for this device incudes drug companies, research institutions, clinics, hospitals, physicians and patients.
