慢性病患者居家用藥管理系統
The design of in-house chronic medication management system
摘要
本研究目的針對需長期服藥的慢性病患者設計用藥管理系統。在國外的調查發現，75歲以上的老年人有63.5%是患有慢性疾病，而65歲以下僅有11%患有慢性病，報告中指出住在家中的老年人有27%服用四種以上的藥物。許多研究發現不遵從醫生服藥是導致老年病患再三入院的主因。為了改善監督用藥的問題，本研究建構用藥管理系統，病患只需在PC端設定用藥天數、次數、時間及個人生理參數。當用藥時間到達時用藥裝置會提醒使用者服用藥物且量測病人之生理參數(血壓、心電圖、體溫)，透過傳輸介面將資料傳送至PC端與個人生理參數互相比對後顯示生理數據及生理狀況，再將資料傳送至資料庫儲存。當病人尚未服藥或身體發生不適，提供緊急機制加以照顧。本研究成果改善監督用藥的問題，更提供使用者完善的醫療資訊及居家照顧。

The aim of this research is to design an in-house long term medication management system for chronic patients. Previous researches discovered that 63.5% of elderly people over 75 years old suffer chronic illness while only 11% of people under 65 years old have chronic illness. The reports also dedicated the 27% chronic patients take more than four kinds of medicines at home. Some surveys discovered that the main reason causing the old patients to admit to hospital repeatedly is not following the doctor’s instructions of taking medicine. In order to improve and supervise this situation this research designed an in-house long term medication management system for chronic patients. This medication management system includes a PC data input subsystem, a physiological parameters measurement subsystem, and an emergency alert subsystem. Patients enter the information including the frequency of medicine intake, timestamp and patients’ basic physiological parameters (blood pressure, ECG, and body temperature) through the PC data input subsystem. The PC will remind patient to take the medicine on time. The physiological parameters measurement subsystem then measures patients’ current physiological parameters and conveys the data to the PC. As the patient has not taken medicine yet or the physiological parameters are abnormal the PC will initiate the emergency mechanism and send message to alert the other family members immediately. The results of this research improve and supervise the problem that uses medicine, offer perfect medical management for home care application.
