Abstract

Due to the development of improved living conditions and medical technology in recent periodic taking drugs is increasing through the outpatient rather than inpatient hospital care. Particularly in the case of patients suffering from geriatric diseases. This geriatric patients should have more attention to the taking medication management because it must keep the medication period. In this paper, we propose and describe an taking medicine information service system for the period and stable taking medicine in patients using the NFC-based u-Drug Cap and technology development and system test results. The developed system is through proper taking medicine information and alarm of geriatric patients or elderly patients. The patient's health can be maintained by preventing not taking and over taking of medicine.

최근 생활환경의 개선과 의학기술의 발달로 인해 성인병 질환을 앓고 있는 환자의 경우 병원 입원 치료 보다는 통원치료를 통한 주기적인 약물 복용이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 성인병 환자의 경우 주기적인 약물 치료가 유지되기 위해 복약관리에 보다 많은 관심이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 환자의 주기적이고 안정적인 복약을 위한 NFC 기반의 u-Drug Cap 을 이용한 복약정보 서비스 시스템을 제안하고 개발된 시스템과 테스트 결과를 기술한다. 개발된 시스템은 성인병을 앓고 있는 환자나 고령 환자의 올바른 복약 지도 및 알람을 통해 약품 미복용 및 오복용 방지함으로써 환자의 건강 유지가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
