Description

服薬管理装置、服薬管理方法、及びプログラムMedication management device, medication management method, and program
　本発明は、服薬管理装置、服薬管理方法、及びプログラムに関する。 The present invention relates to a medication management device, a medication management method, and a program.
　薬の誤飲を防ぐことは重要である。例えば特許文献１には、画像処理を用いることにより、ある利用者に対応付けられた医薬品が他の利用者に用いられることを抑制するための情報処理装置が記載されている。具体的には、介護士などは、介護施設を利用している利用者の顔画像を撮影するとともに、医薬品の入れ物に貼付された一次元コード又は二次元コードを撮影する。そして介護士は、これらの画像を情報処理装置に送信する。情報処理装置は、これらの画像を処理することにより、一次元コード又は二次元コードに対応する医薬品が、顔画像が示す利用者に対応付けられているか否かを判断する。 It is important to prevent accidental ingestion of medicine. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes an information processing apparatus that uses image processing to prevent a drug associated with a certain user from being used by another user. Specifically, a caregiver or the like photographs a face image of a user who uses the nursing care facility, and also photographs a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code attached to a medicine container. The caregiver then transmits these images to the information processing device. By processing these images, the information processing device determines whether or not the drug corresponding to the one-dimensional code or the two-dimensional code is associated with the user indicated by the face image.
　なお、特許文献２には、錠剤をカップに投与する錠剤ディスペンサーに関する技術が記載されている。具体的には、プロセッサは、カップを撮影した画像を処理することにより、錠剤がカップに投与されたこと、及びこの錠剤がカップからなくなったことを判定する。ここで、特許文献２には、錠剤がカップからなくなったことは、服薬が行われたことを判定する際に用いられる、と記載されている。 Patent Document 2 describes a technology related to a tablet dispenser that administers tablets into a cup. Specifically, the processor determines that a tablet has been dispensed into the cup and that the tablet has been removed from the cup by processing the image taken of the cup. Here, Patent Document 2 describes that the fact that the tablet has disappeared from the cup is used when determining that the medication has been taken.
　また特許文献３には、薬剤ディスペンサーに、薬剤が使用者の口の中に分配されたかどうかを検出するためのセンサーを設けることが記載されている。 Patent Document 3 also describes providing a drug dispenser with a sensor for detecting whether or not a drug has been dispensed into the user's mouth.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the usage environment of a medication management device 10 according to this embodiment. The medication management device 10 is a device that manages medication taken by the subject, and is used together with the terminal 20 . The target person is, for example, a user of a facility such as a nursing home or a hospital, a user of home care service, or a user of inheritance confirmation, but is not limited to these. Inheritance confirmation is to have the user of the facility or the user of home care confirm the content of inheritance when the operator of the facility or home care manages the content of the inheritance. The terminal 20 is operated by a person working at the facility, such as a caregiver or a nurse. Hereinafter, this person is described as an operator.
　作業者は、対象者が飲むべき薬を準備する。薬は、予め、一回ごとに服用する量に個別の包装に分けられている。ここで、対象者が一回に複数種類の薬を服用する必要がある場合、一つの包装にこれら複数の薬が入っていてもよいし、複数の薬が個別に包装されていてもよい。 The worker prepares the medicine that the subject should take. The medicine is pre-divided into individual packages into single-dose amounts. Here, when the subject needs to take multiple types of medicines at one time, these multiple medicines may be contained in one package, or the multiple medicines may be individually packaged.
　薬の包装には識別マーカが付与されている。この識別マーカの一例はバーコードや二次元コードである。この識別マーカは、その包装に入っている薬を特定する情報、及びその薬を飲むべき対象者を特定する情報の少なくとも一方を含んでいる。また識別マーカは、対象者及び服薬タイミングの組み合わせ別に生成されていてもよい。 An identification marker is attached to the medicine packaging. An example of this identification marker is a bar code or two-dimensional code. The identification marker includes at least one of information identifying the medicine contained in the package and information identifying the subject who should take the medicine. Also, the identification marker may be generated for each combination of subject and medication timing.
　作業者は、対象者に薬を飲ませると、端末２０を用いて服薬管理装置１０に第１情報を送信する。第１情報は、対象者が薬を飲む際又は薬を飲んだ後に生成された情報であって、対象者及び薬の少なくとも一方に関している。一例として、第１情報は、第１画像、及び、この第１画像に含まれる識別マーカに関する情報の少なくとも一方を含んでいる。第１画像は、薬の包装を撮影することにより生成されている。また識別マーカに関する情報の一例は、バーコードや二次元コードをデコードした情報である。第１情報の他の例については、後述する。ここで第１画像の撮影タイミングは、例えば薬を服用した後であるが、薬を服用している間であってもよい。 The operator uses the terminal 20 to send the first information to the medication management device 10 after having the subject take the medicine. The first information is information generated when or after the subject takes the medicine and relates to at least one of the subject and the medicine. As an example, the first information includes at least one of a first image and information about identification markers included in the first image. The first image is generated by photographing the packaging of the medicine. An example of information about the identification marker is information obtained by decoding a bar code or two-dimensional code. Other examples of the first information will be described later. Here, the shooting timing of the first image is, for example, after taking medicine, but it may be while taking medicine.
　服薬管理装置１０は、端末２０から送信された第１情報を用いて、対象者が薬を飲んだことを記録するための処理を行う。以下、この処理を第１処理と記載する。第１処理は、例えば第１情報の少なくとも一部を記憶部に記憶させること、服用された薬の種類を特定すること、及び服用した対象者を特定すること、の少なくとも一つを含んでいる。記憶部の一例は、後述する対象者記憶部１４０である。第１処理の詳細例については、後述する。 The medication management device 10 uses the first information transmitted from the terminal 20 to perform processing for recording that the subject has taken medication.

Note that the biometric information may be stored in a storage unit different from the subject storage unit 140 . The subject storage unit 140 may further store identification information of the subject.
　服薬履歴は、服薬タイミング及び飲んだ薬の情報を含んでいる。ここでの服薬タイミングの一例は、日時である。飲んだ薬の情報は、薬の種類及び量を含んでいてもよい。また識別マーカが対象者及び服薬タイミングの組み合わせ別に生成されている場合、飲んだ薬の情報は、その薬の包装に付与されていた識別マーカ又はこれをデコード情報であってもよい。この服薬履歴を用いると、対象者が予め定められたとおりに服薬を行っているか否かを確認できる。 The medication history includes information on medication timing and medications taken. An example of the medication timing here is date and time. The information about the drugs taken may include the type and amount of the drug. Further, when identification markers are generated for each combination of subject and medication timing, the information on the medicine taken may be the identification marker attached to the package of the medicine or its decoded information. By using this medication history, it is possible to confirm whether or not the subject is taking medication as prescribed.
　なお、服薬履歴は、さらに、第１情報の少なくとも一部、好ましくは全部を含んでいてもよい。例えば服薬履歴に対象者の顔画像が含まれている場合、服薬管理装置１０は、この顔画像を用いて対象者の体調管理を行うこともできる。また服薬管理装置１０は、対象者別に、その対象者の家族の連絡先を記憶している場合、対象者の状況として、この顔画像を家族の連絡先に送信してもよい。連絡先の一例は、メールアドレス又はＳＮＳのアカウント情報である。 Note that the medication history may further include at least a part, preferably all, of the first information. For example, when a subject's face image is included in the medication history, the medication management device 10 can also manage the subject's physical condition using this face image. If the medication management device 10 stores the contact information of the family of each target person, the face image may be sent to the contact information of the family as the status of the target person. An example of the contact information is an email address or SNS account information.
　また、服薬管理装置１０は、さらに、包装に取り分けられた状態の薬を施設に運んできた人、又は薬を包装した人を特定する情報を、その薬の包装の識別マーカに紐づけて記憶していてもよい。薬を施設に運んできた人の一例は薬局の従業員であり、薬を包装した人の一例は薬剤師である。服薬管理装置１０は、さらに、包装された薬を施設が受け入れる場合、薬を施設に運んできた人、又は薬を包装した人の認証処理を行ってもよい。 In addition, the medication management device 10 further stores information identifying the person who brought the medicine in a packaged state to the facility or the person who packaged the medicine in association with the identification marker on the packaging of the medicine.

　図６は、服薬管理装置１０及び端末２０が行う処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。本図に示す処理の前に、服薬管理装置１０及び端末２０は、予め、作業者の認証処理を行っている。この処理の一例は服薬管理装置１０へのログイン処理であり、例えば、以下のように行われる。まず、端末２０は、作業者の生体情報を生成して服薬管理装置１０に送信する。次いで、服薬管理装置１０は、端末２０から受信した生体情報を、作業者記憶部１３０が記憶しているマスター生体情報を用いて認証する。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing performed by the medication management device 10 and the terminal 20. FIG. Prior to the processing shown in this drawing, the medication management device 10 and the terminal 20 perform operator authentication processing in advance. An example of this processing is a login processing to the medication management device 10, which is performed as follows, for example. First, the terminal 20 generates biometric information of the worker and transmits it to the medication management device 10 . Next, the medication management device 10 authenticates the biometric information received from the terminal 20 using master biometric information stored in the worker storage unit 130 .
　その後、作業者は、対象者に薬を飲ませる。この際、作業者は、その対象者がそのタイミング、例えば朝、昼、又は夜に飲むべき薬の包装を取り出し、この包装から薬を取り出す。そして作業者は、その薬を対象者に服用させる。対象者が薬を服用している間又は服用した後、作業者は、端末２０を操作して第１情報を生成する（ステップＳ１０）。そして端末２０は、この第１情報を、その生成日時と共に端末２０に送信する（ステップＳ２０）。 After that, the worker gives the target a medicine. At this time, the operator takes out the package of the medicine that the subject should take at that timing, for example, morning, noon, or night, and takes out the medicine from this package. Then, the operator makes the subject take the medicine. While the subject is taking the medicine or after taking the medicine, the operator operates the terminal 20 to generate the first information (step S10). The terminal 20 then transmits the first information to the terminal 20 together with the generation date and time (step S20).
　服薬管理装置１０の取得部１１０は、この第１情報及び生成日時を取得する（ステップＳ３０）。この際、服薬管理装置１０及び端末２０は予め作業者の認証処理を行っているため、服薬管理装置１０は、ステップＳ１０で送信されてきた第１情報の送信元となる端末２０すなわち作業者を特定できる。次いで服薬管理装置１０の記録処理部１２０は、ステップＳ３０で取得された第１情報を用いて第１処理を行う（ステップＳ４０）。 The acquisition unit 110 of the medication management device 10 acquires the first information and the date and time of generation (step S30). At this time, since the medication management device 10 and the terminal 20 have previously performed the operator authentication process, the medication management device 10 identifies the terminal 20, which is the source of the first information transmitted in step S10, that is, the operator. can be identified. Next, the recording processing unit 120 of the medication management device 10 performs the first process using the first information acquired in step S30 (step S40).
　図７は、図６のステップＳ４０の第１例を示すフローチャートである。本図に示す例において、第１情報は、対象者の生体情報を含んでいる。生体情報が顔情報である場合、この顔情報は、対象者の顔画像であってもよいし、顔画像から生成された特徴量であってもよい。また顔情報が顔画像である場合、この顔情報は、対象者を撮影した動画であってもよい。 FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a first example of step S40 in FIG. In the example shown in this figure, the first information includes the subject's biometric information. When the biometric information is face information, this face information may be a face image of the subject or a feature amount generated from the face image. Moreover, when the face information is a face image, the face information may be a moving image of the target person.
　記録処理部１２０は、第１情報に含まれる生体情報を認識し（ステップＳ１１０）、この生体情報を用いて、薬を飲んだ対象者を特定する（ステップＳ１２０）。ここで生体情報が対象者を撮影した動画である場合、記録処理部１２０は、動画に含まれるフレーム画像のうち顔の特徴量が最も多いフレーム画像を選択し、このフレーム画像を処理することにより顔情報を生成してもよい。そして記録処理部１２０は、対象者記憶部１４０のうちこの対象者に関する服薬履歴を更新する。具体的には、記録処理部１２０は、服薬タイミングとして第１情報の生成日時を記憶させ、かつ、第１情報の少なくとも一部を記憶させる。 The recording processing unit 120 recognizes the biometric information included in the first information (step S110), and uses this biometric information to identify the subject who has taken the medicine (step S120). Here, when the biometric information is a moving image of a subject, the recording processing unit 120 selects a frame image having the largest amount of facial features among the frame images included in the moving image, and processes this frame image. Face information may be generated. Then, the recording processing unit 120 updates the medication history regarding this subject in the subject storage unit 140 . Specifically, the recording processing unit 120 stores the date and time of generation of the first information as the medication timing, and stores at least part of the first information.
　ここで、生体情報が顔情報である場合、第１情報は、対象者が薬を飲む行為を撮影した画像及び動画の少なくとも一方であってもよい。第１情報は、顔情報とは別に、この画像及び動画の少なくとも一方を含んでいてもよい。記録処理部１２０は、この画像または動画を処理することにより、対象者が服薬を行ったことを検知し、服薬履歴を更新する。なお、この検知処理は行われなくてもよい。 Here, when the biometric information is face information, the first information may be at least one of an image and a video of the subject taking medicine. The first information may include at least one of the image and the moving image separately from the face information. By processing this image or moving image, the recording processing unit 120 detects that the subject has taken medication, and updates the medication history. Note that this detection process may not be performed.
　そして記録処理部１２０は、この画像及び動画の少なくとも一方を対象者記憶部１４０に記憶させる。この処理は、第１処理の一部である。このようにすると、対象者が薬を飲んだことを事後的に確認できる。 Then, the recording processing unit 120 causes the subject storage unit 140 to store at least one of the image and the moving image. This process is part of the first process. In this way, it can be confirmed after the fact that the subject has taken the medicine.
　対象者が薬を飲む行為を撮影した画像及び動画は、端末２０ではなく固定カメラ、例えば監視カメラを用いて生成されていてもよい。この場合、服薬管理装置１０は、固定カメラが生成した画像または動画を、その固定カメラの識別子とともに取得する。また、作業者記憶部１３０は、施設別に、その施設に設置されている固定カメラの識別子及びその施設で働いている作業員の作業員情報を記憶している。また対象者記憶部１４０は、施設別にその施設を利用している対象者の対象者情報を記憶している。そして記録処理部１２０は、固定カメラの識別子、作業者記憶部１３０、及び対象者記憶部１４０を用いて、その画像または動画が生成された施設を特定するとともに、その施設に対応する作業員及び対象者を特定する。その後に服薬管理装置１０が行う処理は、上記した通りである。 The images and videos of the subject taking medicine may be generated using a fixed camera, such as a monitoring camera, instead of the terminal 20. In this case, the medication management apparatus 10 acquires the image or moving image generated by the fixed camera together with the identifier of the fixed camera. In addition, the worker storage unit 130 stores, for each facility, identifiers of fixed cameras installed in the facility and worker information of workers working in the facility. The target person storage unit 140 also stores target person information of the target person who uses the facility for each facility. Then, the recording processing unit 120 uses the identifier of the fixed camera, the worker storage unit 130, and the subject storage unit 140 to identify the facility where the image or video was generated, and the worker corresponding to the facility and Identify your target audience. The subsequent processing performed by the medication management device 10 is as described above.
　また顔情報が顔画像である場合、この顔画像は、対象者が薬を飲んだ後に口を開けた状態で撮影された画像であってもよい。また、第１情報は、顔画像とは別に、対象者が薬を飲んだ後にその対象者の口内を撮影した画像を含んでいてもよい。以下、この画像を口内画像後記載する。そして記録処理部１２０は、顔情報を処理することにより、口内画像がどの対象者に対応するかを特定できる。なお、端末２０は、口内画像を撮影する際、撮影範囲に口内が存在することを認識すると、照明を明るくしてもよい。このようにすると、端末２０は、明瞭な口内画像を生成できる。 Also, when the face information is a face image, this face image may be an image taken with the subject's mouth open after taking medicine. In addition to the face image, the first information may also include an image of the subject's mouth taken after the subject has taken medicine. This image is described below after the intraoral image. By processing the face information, the recording processing unit 120 can specify which subject the intraoral image corresponds to. It should be noted that the terminal 20 may brighten the lighting when recognizing that the inside of the mouth exists within the imaging range when capturing an intraoral image. By doing so, the terminal 20 can generate a clear intra-oral image.
　記録処理部１２０は、口を開けた状態の顔画像又は口内画像を処理することにより、口内に薬が残っているか否かを検知し、残っていない場合、服薬が完了したと判断し、服薬履歴を更新する。この処理は、第１処理の一部である。なお、これらの処理は行われなくてもよい。 The recording processing unit 120 detects whether or not the medicine remains in the mouth by processing the face image or the intraoral image with the mouth open. Update history. This process is part of the first process. Note that these processes may not be performed.
　また記録処理部１２０は、口を開けた状態の顔画像又は口内画像を対象者記憶部１４０に記憶させる。この処理も、第１処理の一部である。このようにすると、対象者の口内で薬が滞留していなかったこと、すなわち対象者が口の中の薬を飲んだことを事後的に確認できる。 The recording processing unit 120 also causes the subject storage unit 140 to store the face image or intra-oral image with the mouth open. This process is also part of the first process. In this way, it can be confirmed after the fact that the medicine did not stay in the mouth of the subject, that is, that the subject drank the medicine in the mouth.
　口内画像が用いられる場合、記録処理部１２０は、顔画像の生成タイミング、例えば生成日時と、口内画像の生成タイミング、例えば生成日時の差が基準時間以下であること、すなわち顔画像が生成されてから口内画像が生成されるまでの時間が基準時間以下であることを、第１処理を行う条件にしてもよい。ここで、基準時間の一例は１分であるが、これより長くてもよいし、短くてもよい。また、記録処理部１２０は、顔画像を用いて対象者を特定した後に、端末２０に、口内画像を要求してもよい。この場合、口内画像を要求してから口内画像が送られてくるまでの時間が基準時間以下であることを、第１処理を行う条件にしてもよい。この基準時間の一例も１分であるが、これより長くてもよいし、短くてもよい。 When an intra-oral image is used, the recording processing unit 120 determines that the difference between the facial image generation timing, for example, the generation date and time, and the intra-oral image generation timing, for example, the generation date and time, is equal to or less than a reference time. The condition for performing the first processing may be that the time from the time of the image to the time when the intraoral image is generated is equal to or shorter than the reference time. Here, one example of the reference time is one minute, but it may be longer or shorter. Also, the recording processing unit 120 may request the terminal 20 for the intraoral image after identifying the subject using the face image. In this case, the condition for performing the first process may be that the time from when the intraoral image is requested to when the intraoral image is sent is equal to or less than the reference time. An example of this reference time is also one minute, but it may be longer or shorter.
　また、口内画像は動画であってもよい。この場合、記録処理部１２０は、動画を構成するフレーム画像のうち、口内であることを示す特徴量が多いフレーム画像を処理対象として選択してもよい。 Also, the intraoral image may be a video. In this case, the recording processing unit 120 may select a frame image having a large feature amount indicating that it is in the mouth, among the frame images that form the moving image, as a processing target.
　第１情報が口内画像を含む場合、第１情報は、顔情報の代わりに他の生体情報、例えば指紋情報を含んでいてもよい。この場合、他の生体情報は、口内画像を生成する端末、例えば端末２０に連動する他の端末を用いて生成されてもよい。この場合、口内画像と生体情報との紐づけを容易に行える。 When the first information includes an intraoral image, the first information may include other biometric information, such as fingerprint information, instead of face information. In this case, other biometric information may be generated using a terminal that generates intra-oral images, for example, another terminal linked to the terminal 20 . In this case, it is easy to link the intraoral image and the biometric information.
　図８は、図６のステップＳ４０の第２例を示すフローチャートである。本図に示す例は、以下の点を除いて、図７に示した第１例と同様である。 FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a second example of step S40 in FIG. The example shown in this figure is the same as the first example shown in FIG. 7 except for the following points.
　まず、第１情報は、対象者の生体情報の他に、薬を特定する情報を含んでいる。薬を特定する情報は、例えば包装に付与された識別マーカを示す画像又はこの識別マーカのデコード情報である。そして記録処理部１２０は、対象者によって飲まれた薬を特定する。 First, the first information includes information specifying the drug in addition to the subject's biological information. The information specifying the medicine is, for example, an image showing an identification marker attached to the package or decoded information of this identification marker. Then, the recording processing unit 120 identifies the medicine taken by the subject.
　具体的には、ステップＳ１２０までの処理は、図７に示した第１例と同様である。ステップＳ１２０の後、記録処理部１２０は、第１情報に含まれる、薬を特定する情報を処理することにより、今回対象者が飲んだ薬を特定する（ステップＳ１２２）。そして記録処理部１２０は、対象者記憶部１４０に記憶させる服薬履歴に、この薬を示す情報を含ませる。すなわち記録処理部１２０は、対象者と、その対象者が飲んだ薬を互いに対応付けて対象者記憶部１４０に記憶させる。（ステップＳ１３０）。 Specifically, the processing up to step S120 is the same as in the first example shown in FIG. After step S120, the recording processing unit 120 identifies the medicine that the subject took this time by processing the information identifying the medicine contained in the first information (step S122). Then, the recording processing unit 120 causes the medication history to be stored in the subject storage unit 140 to include information indicating this medicine. That is, the recording processing unit 120 stores the subject and the medicine taken by the subject in the subject storage unit 140 in association with each other. (Step S130).
　本図に示す例において、第１情報は、対象者の顔と薬の包装を同時に撮影した画像を含んでいてもよい。この画像の一例は、対象者の顔と包装とを並べた状態で撮影した画像である。また第１情報において、対象者の顔と薬の包装が別々に撮影されていた場合、記録処理部１２０は、顔画像の生成タイミング、例えば生成日時と、薬の包装の画像の生成タイミング、例えば生成日時の差が基準時間以下であることを、第１処理を行う条件にしてもよい。この基準時間の一例は、例えば１分であるが、これより長くてもよいし、短くてもよい。また、記録処理部１２０は、顔画像を用いて対象者を特定した後に、端末２０に、薬の包装の画像を要求してもよい。この場合、薬の包装の画像を要求してから薬の包装の画像が送られてくるまでの時間が基準時間以下であることを、第１処理を行う条件にしてもよい。この基準時間の一例も、例えば１分であるが、これより長くてもよいし、短くてもよい。さらに記録処理部１２０は、一つの動画から、対象者の顔を含むフレーム画像と、薬の包装を含むフレーム画像とを選択し、これら選択した画像を用いて第１処理を行ってもよい。 In the example shown in this figure, the first information may include an image of the subject's face and the packaging of the medicine taken at the same time. An example of this image is an image taken with the subject's face and the package side by side. In addition, in the first information, when the subject's face and the packaging of the medicine are captured separately, the recording processing unit 120 determines the timing of generating the face image, for example, the date and time of generation, and the timing of generating the image of the packaging of the medicine, for example, The condition for performing the first process may be that the difference in generation date and time is equal to or less than the reference time. An example of this reference time is, for example, one minute, but it may be longer or shorter. Also, the recording processing unit 120 may request the terminal 20 for an image of the medicine packaging after identifying the subject using the face image. In this case, the condition for performing the first process may be that the time from when the image of the medicine packaging is requested to when the image of the medicine packaging is sent is less than or equal to the reference time. An example of this reference time is also one minute, for example, but it may be longer or shorter. Furthermore, the recording processing unit 120 may select a frame image including the subject's face and a frame image including the packaging of the medicine from one moving image, and perform the first process using these selected images.
　図９は、図６の第１変形例を示すフローチャートである。本図に示す例において、作業者は、服薬管理装置１０が第１情報を処理する前に、他人に、第１情報が正しいことを確認してもらう。この他人の一例は、他の作業者である。以下、この他人を確認者と記載する。 FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the first modified example of FIG. In the example shown in this figure, the operator asks another person to confirm that the first information is correct before the medication management device 10 processes the first information. An example of this other person is another worker. Hereinafter, this other person will be referred to as a confirmer.
　具体的には、作業者は、端末２０が第１情報を生成する（ステップＳ１０）と、その第１情報の確認依頼を、確認者の端末、例えば確認者が所持している端末２０に送信する（ステップＳ１２）。この確認依頼は、例えばステップＳ１０で生成された第１情報を含んでいる。なお、この確認依頼は、作業者の端末２０から確認者の端末に直接送信されてもよいし、服薬管理装置１０を介して送信されてもよい。 Specifically, when the terminal 20 generates the first information (step S10), the worker sends a confirmation request for the first information to the confirmer's terminal, for example, the terminal 20 owned by the confirmer. (step S12). This confirmation request includes, for example, the first information generated in step S10. This confirmation request may be directly transmitted from the operator's terminal 20 to the confirmation person's terminal, or may be transmitted via the medication management device 10 .
　そして確認者は、端末に、第１情報を表示させる。例えば確認者が作業者と同じ場所にいる場合、確認者は、対象者の顔と第１情報に含まれる顔画像が一致していることを目視で確認するとともに、薬の包装又はその包袋に付与された識別マーカと第１情報に含まれる包袋又は識別マーカが一致していることを目視で確認する。そして確認者は、第１情報の確認が完了すると、そのことを示す入力を端末に行う。この入力は、例えば所定のチェックボックスやラジオボタンを選択する処理など、作業者が第１情報を取得するために行う処理よりも少なくなっているのが好ましい。すると端末は、確認が完了した旨を示す情報を作業者の端末２０に送信する（ステップＳ１４）。その後、ステップＳ２０以降の処理が行われる。 Then, the confirmer displays the first information on the terminal. For example, when the confirmer is in the same place as the operator, the confirmer visually confirms that the face of the subject matches the face image included in the first information, and also confirms whether the medicine package or its wrapper is present. and the file wrapper or identification marker included in the first information are visually confirmed. Then, when the confirmation of the first information is completed, the confirmation person makes an input to the terminal indicating that. It is preferable that this input be less than the process performed by the operator to acquire the first information, such as the process of selecting a predetermined check box or radio button. Then, the terminal transmits information indicating that the confirmation has been completed to the terminal 20 of the worker (step S14). After that, the processing after step S20 is performed.
　この変形例によれば、第１情報を服薬管理装置１０が処理する前に、この第１情報のダブルチェックを行える。 According to this modification, the first information can be double-checked before the medication management device 10 processes the first information.
　以上、本実施形態によれば、作業者は、服薬管理装置１０を用いることにより、対象者別に予め取り分けられた薬の服用が完了したことを示す情報を、少ない労力で対象者記憶部１４０に記録できる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, by using the medication management apparatus 10, the operator can store the information indicating that the medication that has been taken for each subject in advance has been completed in the subject storage unit 140 with little effort. can be recorded.
（第２実施形態）
　本実施形態に係る服薬管理装置１０は、以下の点を除いて、第１実施形態に係る服薬管理装置１０と同様である。 (Second embodiment)
The medication management device 10 according to this embodiment is the same as the medication management device 10 according to the first embodiment except for the following points.
　まず取得部１１０は、対象者が薬を飲む前に、対象者及び薬を特定する情報を取得する。以下、この情報を第２情報と記載する。第２情報の具体例は、第１情報の具体例と同様であるが、薬が服用される前に撮影されている点が、第１情報と異なる。例えば第２情報は、薬の包装を撮影した画像及び包装に付与された識別マーカのデコード情報の少なくとも一方、並びに対象者の生体情報を含んでいる。以下、薬の包装を撮影した画像を包装画像と記載する。 First, the acquisition unit 110 acquires information specifying the subject and the medicine before the subject takes the medicine. Hereinafter, this information will be referred to as second information. A specific example of the second information is the same as the specific example of the first information, but differs from the first information in that the image is taken before the medicine is taken. For example, the second information includes at least one of an image of the packaging of medicine and decode information of an identification marker attached to the packaging, and biometric information of the subject. Hereinafter, an image obtained by photographing the packaging of medicine will be referred to as a packaging image.
　そして記録処理部１２０は、第２情報を取得してから所定時間が経過するまでに第１情報を取得することを、第１処理を行うための条件とする。第２情報を取得してから第１情報を取得するまでの時間が長すぎる場合、作業者は、第１情報を送信した後、対象者に薬を飲ませるまでに他の作業を行っている可能性がある。この場合、対象者が薬の誤飲をする可能性が高まってしまう。本実施形態によれば、この誤飲が生じている可能性があることを作業者に認識させることができる。 Then, the recording processing unit 120 sets the condition for performing the first process to be that the first information is acquired within a predetermined period of time from the acquisition of the second information. If the time from obtaining the second information to obtaining the first information is too long, the worker is performing other work after transmitting the first information before giving the subject medicine. there is a possibility. In this case, the possibility of the subject taking the medicine by mistake increases. According to this embodiment, the operator can be made to recognize that there is a possibility that this accidental ingestion has occurred.
　なお、服薬管理装置１０の取得部１１０は、第２情報を取得した後、端末２０の位置すなわち作業者の位置を繰り返し端末２０から取得してもよい。そして許可情報出力部１６０は、この位置が基準値以上変わっていないことを、ステップＳ２０８における認証成功の条件に加えてもよい。端末２０の位置が基準値以上変わっている場合、作業者は、第２情報を送信した後、他の対象者に対応していた可能性があるためである。この場合、作業者は、薬を間違えたり、薬を飲ませるべき対象者を間違えたりする可能性が出てくる。この場合、端末２０の位置が基準値以上変わっていないことは、図６のステップＳ１０以降の処理が行われるための条件になる。 Note that the acquisition unit 110 of the medication management device 10 may repeatedly acquire the position of the terminal 20, that is, the position of the worker from the terminal 20 after acquiring the second information. Permission information output unit 160 may add to the conditions for successful authentication in step S208 that the position has not changed by a reference value or more. This is because, if the position of the terminal 20 has changed by a reference value or more, the worker may have dealt with another target person after transmitting the second information. In this case, there is a possibility that the operator will take the wrong medicine or wrong the subject to be given the medicine. In this case, the fact that the position of the terminal 20 does not change by more than the reference value is a condition for performing the processes after step S10 in FIG.
　なお、服薬管理装置１０の代わりに端末２０が、端末２０の位置が基準値以上変わっていないことの確認を行ってもよい。 Note that the terminal 20 instead of the medication management device 10 may confirm that the position of the terminal 20 has not changed by a reference value or more.
　以上、図面を参照して本発明の実施形態について述べたが、これらは本発明の例示であり、上記以外の様々な構成を採用することもできる。 Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, these are examples of the present invention, and various configurations other than those described above can be adopted.
