The present invention relates to a drug and psychotropic drug automatic management device that is one with IoT technology to control a temperature and humidity function and automatically transmits necessary information, and more specifically, it is possible to more effectively manage and supervise the import and export of drugs and psychotropic drugs, In addition to being able to induce accurate dispensing in accordance with the prescription, the internal temperature and humidity of the dispensing management device is stably maintained within the range set by the administrator to prevent deterioration of the stored medicines, and through hygienic storage and management, drugs and psychotropic drugs It relates to an automatic management device for drugs and psychotropic drugs that controls the temperature and humidity function and automatically transmits necessary information in one with IoT technology that can improve the management reliability of the patient.

The conventional conventional preparation method was carried out by the manual of the preparation.

In other words, the preparation was made by repeating the process of taking out the medicine from each medicine bin, identifying it with eyes, and weighing it in order to collect the medicines necessary for the preparation and check the paper prescriptions.

Accordingly, it was difficult not only to check whether the correct preparation for the prescription was made, but also there was a possibility that the drug would be incorrectly dispensed, and there was a problem in that it was difficult to check the dispensing error or take responsibility.

In addition, in conducting inventory surveys of medicines in the dispensing room, it was necessary for the manager to visually check the medicines stored in the medicine cabinet and manually measure the weight. Therefore, the conventional pharmaceutical preparation and management method has a limitation in securing reliability and accuracy in the handling and management of pharmaceuticals.

In particular, drugs and psychotropic drugs that require special handling are generally stored in a safe for supplementation in hospitals, and if a refrigeration function is required, it is common to store them with a refrigerator lock device in hospitals, so poor drugs and psychotropic drugs. Security problems such as theft and loss due to the management of the drug frequently occur, and at the same time, it is difficult to manage information of entry and exit details as it is managed in various places and in different storage methods according to the management method of drugs and psychotropic drugs. As it is written, there is a problem that the reliability of the management of narcotic and psychotropic drugs is deteriorated because the accurate management and supervision of the exact contents of the entry and exit of the drug and the dose of the drug is not.

In addition, conventionally, it was difficult to secure transparency and security in the dispensing process and drug management because even an unauthenticated user could access the medicine box. In particular, since psychotropic drugs or drugs are highly damaged by misuse or abuse, the production process, distribution process, and prescription process must be clearly identified and managed.

For example, narcotic drugs such as morphine, which are used as pain relievers in hospitals, are managed to prevent theft by using locking devices such as locks, and to be carried in and out only by a specific person in possession of an identification means such as an access card. A. In the case of falsely describing the amount of drugs carried out or taking out more than necessary drugs, there was a problem in that it was difficult to accurately grasp the fact and quantity of such inappropriate exports.

In order to solve this problem, there are cases where a manager who monitors the import and export of medicines is separately arranged, but in this case, it is difficult to grasp the quantity of medicines in real time, so not only the expiration date and inventory management of medicines was not performed smoothly. There was a risk that a medical accident could occur due to the misuse of the exported drug because it was difficult for the exporter to immediately recognize it even if there was a case of carrying out other medicines or carrying out more than the used medicines.

Accordingly, there is a need for a method of automatically managing the handling process including the distribution process of psychotropic drugs, and at the same time checking and managing the handling process at any time or in real time.

In particular, in the process of storing psychotropic drugs, the stored drugs are frequently deteriorated due to external temperature differences, and there is a problem that they cannot be used and discarded according to the alteration.
