Printed circuit associated with the closure sheet of a blister, made with conductive paint, to detect the withdrawal of the product from the same blister.

摘要

The purpose of the invention is to use the most widespread type of container for drugs, the blister, as a source that gives rise to the data to verify adherence to the therapy. The invention uses the "closure sheet" of the blister as a support for a "printed circuit", designed to create switches at each cavity containing the product. The printed circuit is made with a "conductive ink". This technology has a negligible impact on the cost of the blister itself, making it usable both for current use and as a tool for transferring information relating to the opening of each designed circuit. When the closure sheet is broken to allow the product to come out of the cavity that houses it, the circuit is thus "opened", and by means of its terminals it allows a service apparatus to detect that it has been taken. This service device can be designed to collect the data of each unit and maintain a diary which, once connected to an interface such as a smartphone, or other device, can be made available to both the patient and healthcare personnel that of the caregiver. Or remind the patient about the time of drug administration.
