Tablet management system to monitor patient compliance with tablets

摘要

A tablet management system (10) for monitoring tablet compliance by a patient, comprising a base unit (20) having an area (11) adapted to receive a tablet container (30), the base unit comprising: Comprising a microprocessor (24) and a power source (27), the tablet container comprising a plurality of breakable closures (13) each sealing a corresponding one of the tablet compartments (12), each closure comprising: A breakable conductor (14) adapted to break upon failure of a corresponding one of the tablet compartments (12) to generate a first tablet compartment open signal in the microprocessor (24); In the tablet management system, the base unit further comprises a plurality of photodetectors (15), each photodetector being associated with a corresponding one of the tablet compartments of the tablet container and corresponding to the tablet compartment. Tablets management system characterized in that it is adapted to generate a second tablet compartments open signal in the microprocessor when the crash of one of the closure. [Selection] Figure 1
