초록

질병의 치료를 위해서는 약을 정시에 정량 복용해야 할 필요가 있으나 다수의 사람들이 약의 복용 시간을 어기거나 잊어버리는 경우가 빈번하게 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 정보기술을 이용하여 해결하기 위한 앱이 등장하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 앱의 경우, 복용 알림 기능만 제공하거나 사용자 인터페이스가 불평하고, 복용 약의 사진 등록 등이 불가능하여 사용하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 복용 알림뿐만 아니라 복용 루틴 설정, 복용여부 확인, 병원 및 약국 검색, 사용자가 복용하고 있는 약의 이미지 첨부가 가능한 스마트 약물 복용 관리 앱을 개발하였다. 본 앱을 통하여 복용 시간을 잊어버리는 빈도를 낮추고, 실제 이미지를 통한 복용 약의 확인을 통한 정확한 투약이 가능하다. 또한 복용 주기가 다른 여러 개의 약을 복용할 경우, 이를 지원하기 위한 복용 루틴 설정도 지원하고 있다. 그리고 현재 위치에서 가까운 병원 및 약국에 대한 정보를 제공하여 병원, 약국에 대한 접근성을 높일 수 있다.

In order to treat a disease, it is necessary to take the medication on time, but many people often violate or forget the time they take the medicine. Applications are emerging to solve these problems using information technology. However, for existing applications, it is difficult to use because it provides only a notification functions, user interface is inconvenient, and photo registration of the medication is impossible. To solve these problems, the study developed a smart medicine management application that allows users to set up their taking routines, check if they are taking them, search hospitals and pharmacies, and attach images of medicines they are taking. Through this appliaction, it is possible to reduce the frequency of forgetting the time taken and to take accurate medication by checking the actual image. It also supports the setting of a taking routine to support multiple medications with different taking cycles. It can also provide information about hospital and pharmacies close to their current location to increase access to hospital and pharmacies.
