Projeto piloto de auxílio no fornecimento de medicamento a paciente interagindo em rede

Abstract

Something increasingly worrying and frequent nowadays is the aging of population in general. Data released recently show that people with over 65 years of age already correspond to more than 10% of the population. Parameter notion of how impactful these numbers are, when analyzing the data of the last 10 years of the population, we had an approximate growth in the number of inhabitants of approximately 7.7% while in the same period the number of people aged 65 years or more, reaches a difference of 39.8%. Being designed so that even 2030, there will be more elderly people than children in Brazil. Technological advancement is faster and more innovative. Today, monitoring can be carried out from anywhere in the world, within reach of a screen, Technologies aimed at the Internet of Things (IoT) allow a variety of new technologies are developed. Something important is to have a closer follow-up and about this medication, and at this stage of life it is common to use different terms medications with combinations of alternating schedules, being ingested daily. This work intends to present a mechanism, in a pilot way, that is intelligent, autonomous and that can, in the least invasive way possible, help people in their due treatments or medication management, providing a greater quality and life expectancy, as well as allowing mobility to the user. The purpose of the system, which will be called dispenser, is to have a tool assistant in medication management, making it automatic can have more detailed control and monitoring of each medication in its respective specified time. For this, in addition to integrations with messengers, the prototype has a treadmill, where an amount of medication provided for a week. This compartment must be supplied by the caregiver. Both the configuration of networks as well as schedules for drug release, can be done in online form by the caregiver. Therefore, when the time is reached, a sound warning, indicating that it is time for the medicine, as well as the rotation of the treadmill for drug release. In parallel, the message is sent to the caregiver, advising that the alarm was triggered on the equipment. Done that if you have the sending of two more messages, when the container containing the medicine is removed and placed again. This in turn turns off the audible alarm, causing the device enters it’s normal operation mode, waiting for the next time. In tests carried out, by extrapolation, it reached operation for approximately 144 continuous days, with medication every 8 hours, which already shows, briefly describe the operation of the equipment. Another important factor is the use of a no-break system in the equipment allowing its constant operation in periods of lack of electricity, to which in tests the equipment continued working for approximately 7 hours, a satisfactory result meeting the project expectations.
