摘要

当环境敏感的药品暴露在不合适的环境条件下,如不合适的温度、湿度、光线或机械应力时,它们会降解。虽然医院确保适当的储存,但一旦药物到达门诊病人手中,这些条件往往会受到损害。本文提出了一种新颖的基于物联网(IoT)的平台架构,用于监测医院设施以外的药物保存,并扩展到患者家中。该系统包括一个监控网络和一个服务器系统。监测网络包括放置在药物原始外包装内的传感器节点,捕获关键环境变量,以及患者安装的网关,这些网关在本地处理数据并将数据传输到服务器系统,以便进行近实时的存储和分析。服务器系统检测保存问题并生成警报,通知患者和医院药房专业人员,以便及时采取纠正措施。在局部,网关警告患者不理想的储存条件,允许立即干预。该平台促进了患者和药剂师之间的合作,确保了药物保存和管理的有效随访。特别考虑了能源效率,以延长传感器节点的电池寿命,使系统适用于实际部署。实现后的传感器节点每10 s采集一次数据,传输给网关,电池寿命预计17.5个月,足够长期运行,无需频繁维护。通过在医院之外(包括患者家中)持续监测药物质量,该平台支持更安全、更有效的药物治疗。这项工作代表了利用物联网技术改善分散医疗保健环境中药物保护的重大进步。

A Multi-Sensor IoT Platform for monitoring medicine storage beyond the hospital
Ambient-sensitive pharmaceutical products degrade when they are exposed to unsuitable environmental conditions such as inappropriate temperature, humidity, light, or mechanical stress. While hospitals ensure proper storage, these conditions are often compromised once medications reach ambulatory patients. This paper presents a novel Internet of Things (IoT)-based platform architecture to monitor drug conservation beyond hospital facilities, extending into patients’ homes. The proposed system comprises a monitoring network and a servers system. The monitoring network includes sensor nodes placed within the original outer packaging of the medication, capturing key environmental variables, and patient-installed gateways that locally process and transmit data to the servers system for near real-time storage and analysis. The servers system detects preservation issues and generates alerts, notifying both patients and hospital pharmacy professionals to enable timely corrective actions. Locally, the gateway warns patients of suboptimal storage conditions, allowing immediate intervention. This platform fosters collaboration between patients and pharmacists, ensuring effective follow-up on drug conservation and administration. Special consideration has been given to energy efficiency to extend sensor node battery life, making the system practical for real-world deployments. The implemented sensor node collects data every 10 s to be transmitted to the gateway, resulting in an estimated battery life of 17.5 months—sufficient for long-term operation, without frequent maintenance. By enabling continuous drug quality monitoring beyond hospitals, including at patients’ homes, this platform supports safer and more effective drug therapies. This work represents a significant advancement in leveraging IoT technologies to improve medicine conservation in decentralized healthcare settings.
