Abstract
결핵은 꾸준한 복약만 이루어진다면 완치될 수 있는 병임에도 불구하고 우리나라의 결핵 환자 발생률과 사망률은 매우 높은 수준이다. 이러한 상황을 극복하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 결핵과 같은 장기 투약대상자들이 정기적이고 꾸준하게 약을 복용할 수 있도록 하기 위한 스마트 약상자를 개발한다. 개발된 스마트 약상자에는 무게 측정을 통하여 약의 배출 여부를 판단할 수 있도록 0.1g 단위의 정밀한 무게 측정이 가능한 로드셀이 장착되었다. 그리고 무게 측정 결과 근거로 환자가 약을 복용했는지를 판단하기 위한 다양한 시나리오별 알고리듬을 개발하여 소프트웨어로 구현하였다. Although tuberculosis can be recovered if patients take medicine consistently, Korea shows significantly high rate in terms of incident rate and death rate of the tuberculosis patients. Considering such a situation, this paper has developed a smart pillbox that facilitates for patients requiring a long-term administration to take medicine in a regular and consistent manner. The developed smart pillbox is equipped with a load cell that can measure the weight in unit of 0.1g so that it can determine whether or not the medicine is dispensed out of itself. In addition, a software has been developed to determine the status of patient's taking medicine based on the measurement result.
