現在參照圖1,系統10包含裝置40、行動電腦50、和患者身份確認裝置70。該系統10與中央資料中心80通訊。根據本發明的各個觀點,至少兩種方法被揭露用於給藥:藥丸20和注射器30。然而,本發明的範圍不受所使用的給藥方法限制。例如,可透過膏藥、吸入器、或軟膏來給藥。而且,術語“藥丸”包含各種形式因數的可攝取藥物和載體,例如,膠囊、凝膠藥丸(gel cap)、安慰劑、過封裝載體(over capsulation carrier)、或賦形劑等。在使用膏藥的情況下,則標籤可被固定到膏藥。如果使用軟膏,則標籤可被包含在軟膏中,並且一旦軟膏被敷上,則可確認給予和跟蹤。在藥物的來源或製造地點,可識別標籤與藥物相關聯而不考慮藥物的類型或將藥物給予/發給患者的方法。可識別標籤與可攝取的事件標記或離子發射模組(IEM)類似。IEM可被攝取並且能夠提供可識別的簽名並且是唯一的。在2009年9月21日提交的名為“COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH PARTIAL POWER SOURCE”的第12/564017號美國專利申請中更詳細地揭露了IEM,並且在2010年4月1日被公開為2010-0081894 A1,其全部內容透過引用併入本文。
根據本發明的其他觀點,可識別標籤可包含唯一標識了包裝中的藥物的包裝上的條碼,包裝包含防篡改密封(tamper proof seal)。因此醫療提供者將使用行動電腦50掃描條碼或者拍攝發送到資料中心80以進行確認的條碼的影像。
關於藥丸20,可識別標籤22被示出固定到藥丸20的一側。標籤22周圍圍繞有導電表面24。標籤22的一個表面暴露出來,並且標籤22的另一個表面透過傳導路徑26與表面24電連接。可使用例如任一可攝取導電墨水技術的各種技術來生成導電表面24。為了防止標籤22從藥丸20移除,以如果試圖使標籤22與藥物分離則使得標籤22的電路破壞的方式來固定標籤22。另外,包含圍繞標籤22的導電表面24還防止了對標籤22的篡改和移除。具體而言,如果標籤22被從藥丸20移除,則導電表面24和通路26將與標籤22分離,從而防止了透過裝置40詢問標籤22。
裝置40包含接觸點42和44,每一個接觸點均連接到詢問單元46。裝置40還包含未示出的電源。詢問單元46連接到通訊模組48。為了確認藥丸20的來源以及類型和劑量,藥丸20被放置在開口40a中並且與接觸點42和44接觸。其後,詢問單元46能夠讀取標籤22的身份。其後,標籤22的身份被發送到行動電腦50。裝置40與行動電腦50之間的通訊鏈路52是諸如BluetoothTM技術或類似的無線技術之類的任一無線通訊鏈路。在另一個觀點中,裝置40也可以是電腦50的一部分。
根據本發明的另一個觀點,裝置40可包含記憶體,用於在裝置40和行動電腦50之間的通訊鏈路中斷或丟失的情況下儲存稍後的發送或通訊以及確認的資訊。
另外,根據本發明的另一個觀點,裝置40可透過諸如諸如通用串列匯流排(USB)之類的有線連接之類的物理鏈路(未示出)連接到行動電腦50。其後,行動電腦50能夠確認藥物的來源和與正確類型和劑量的藥物被給予患者60相關聯的其他資訊。電腦50被示出具有顯示器58。顯示器58可提供諸如患者的影像、患者的病史、和要給予患者的下一類型和劑量的藥物之類的資訊。根據本發明的各個觀點,行動電腦50可以是任何包含顯示器和無線通訊能力的裝置,諸如移動通訊裝置、行動電話、或具有無線通訊單元的可擕式電腦。而且,行動電腦50包含音頻輸出50a和音頻輸入50b,它們可被一起用於模擬數據機並且生成用於通訊的資料通道。而且,行動電腦50能夠使用例如簡訊服務(SMS)的各種通訊協議進行通訊,從而透過行動電話通訊通道將資訊發送到目的地。
關於注射器30,可識別標籤32被固定到注射器30。為了保證標籤32不能從注射器30移除並重新附到不同的注射器,注射器和/或標籤包含例如標籤32的安全部件,標籤32包含諸如鋅電池之類的一旦暴露於空氣中就被啟動的層。因此,在製造時,每一注射器30均被固定到密封的包裝內以保護標籤32。一旦包裝被打開,則標籤32暴露於空氣中,並且因此被啟動。因此,如果包裝被打開並且沒有在諸如幾分鐘之類的短時間內給藥,則標籤32被去活並且之後不能被詢問。根據本發明的一個觀點,標籤32的所述層是基於鋅的電池,該電池一旦與周圍的空氣接觸即被啟動,並且因此為標籤32供電。
一旦注射器30被從包裝中移除並且醫療提供者準備將藥物給予患者,則注射器30被放置在套34內。套34能夠檢測並取得標籤32的身份。套34透過行動電腦50和套34之間的物理連接54發送與固定到注射器30的標籤32相關聯的資訊。根據本發明的另一個觀點,套34可以透過未示出的無線連接與行動電腦50通訊。當注射器30的注射針接觸到患者60時,則電路如所示那樣透過患者身份確認裝置70而完整。
現在參照圖2A和圖2B,根據本發明的另一個觀點,注射器30的注射針可包含透過連接38連接到標籤32的特殊的接觸點36。接觸點36被沿著注射器30的末端佈置或者佈置在注射針上,從而與患者的皮膚的接觸完成了其後用於啟動標籤32以發送表示藥物被給予患者60的唯一簽名或身份的電路。
現在參照圖2C,接觸點36與標籤32電連接。當注射器30被透過接觸點34a放置在套34內時,標籤32與套34電連接。接觸點34a與標籤32接觸以允許電信號經由連接54透過標籤32和行動電腦50之間。停止接頭34b被佈置在套34內以保證接觸點34a與標籤32適當對準。
現在參照圖1和圖3,患者身份確認裝置70被示出透過連接或鏈結56連接到行動電腦50。患者身份確認裝置70包含暴露于患者身份確認裝置70的表面上的拇指墊或接觸點72和74。根據本發明的各個觀點,接觸點72和74可以是任何形式的生物計量檢測接觸點。例如,接觸點可以掃描和確認指紋資訊。根據本發明的另一個觀點,接觸點可以檢測患者的諸如溫度之類的生理參數,或者能夠標識患者的包含DNA的其他生物計量參數。接觸點72和74與患者身份確認裝置70內的控制單元70a電連接。根據本發明的一個觀點,電源70b與控制單元70a電連接,從而患者身份確認裝置70自供電。根據本發明的另一個觀點,患者身份確認裝置70可透過連接56從行動電腦接收電力。
根據本發明的一個觀點,患者身份確認裝置70包含用於拍攝被發送到行動電腦50的患者的影像的相機78。相機78與控制單元70a電連接。一旦控制單元70a檢測到電路通路完整,這指示患者60正在接收藥物,則控制單元70a控制啟動相機78。更具體地講,患者60使用接觸點72和74中至少一者握持患者身份確認裝置70以在例如右手拇指和左手拇指的肢體62和64處生成患者身份確認裝置70與患者60之間的物理連接。當患者60握持患者身份確認裝置70並且注射器30與患者60接觸時,則電路完整。更具體地講,接觸點36與患者60的皮膚接觸。接觸點36與標籤32電連接,並且標籤32與套34電連接。套34與行動電腦50電連接並且行動電腦50與患者身份確認裝置70電連接。因此,一旦患者握持患者身份確認裝置70並且注射器30的注射針與患者60的皮膚接觸,則透過患者60形成完整的電路。
如上所指出的那樣,接觸點72和74能夠透過物理接觸檢測包含心率變化的患者生理參數,這在注射器30的注射針刺穿患者60的皮膚時是典型的。患者60的生理參數的改變可以是由控制單元70a使用以啟動相機來拍攝患者60的影像的觸發器。與給藥的時間和日期以及患者60的影像相關聯的資訊被發送到行動電腦50。行動電腦50能夠記錄藥物被給予患者60。另外,行動電腦50能夠掃描或詢問標籤32以確認所給予的藥物的劑量和類型。其後,標籤32的基於鋅的層到期,並且標籤32不能被再次使用。根據本發明的另一個觀點,注射器30可以是一次性使用的注射器從而一旦柱塞被按下,則其不能縮回或被取出。
在各個觀點中,可根據圖4中所示的系統120來實現類似於可攝取事件標記或離子發射模組(IEM)的可識別標籤22、32。如上所述,可以與任何藥品相關聯地使用系統120,以確定藥物的來源並且確認正確類型的藥物和正確劑量的藥物中至少一者被給予患者,並且在某些觀點中確定患者何時用藥品。然而,本公開的範圍不受環境和與系統120一起使用的產品的限制。例如,可以以無線模式、以透過將系統120佈置在膠囊內並且將膠囊佈置在導電液體內的電流模式、或二者的組合、或將系統120暴露於空氣中,來啟動該系統。一旦佈置在例如導電液體中,則膠囊將在一段時間內溶解並且將系統120釋放到導電液體中。因此,在一個觀點中,膠囊將包含系統120但不包含產品。其後,這樣的膠囊可被用在任何存在導電液體的環境中並且可與任何產品一起使用。例如,膠囊可被放入充有噴氣燃料、鹽水、番茄醬、機油、或任何類似產品的容器中。另外,可在攝入任何藥品的同時攝入包含系統120的膠囊以記錄諸如產品何時被用之類的事件的發生。
在與藥物或藥品結合起來的系統120的特定示例中,當產品或藥丸被攝取或暴露於空氣中時,以電流模式啟動系統120。系統120控制電導以產生被檢測到的唯一電流簽名,從而表示藥品已被用。當被以無線模式啟動時,該系統控制電容板的調製以產生與被檢測到的系統120相關聯的唯一電壓簽名。
在一個觀點中,系統120包含框架122。框架122是系統120的底架,並且多個部件附到框架122,沉積到框架122上,或固定到框架122。在系統120的該觀點,可消化的材料124與框架122在物理上相關聯。材料124可被以化學方法沉積在框架上,蒸發到框架上,固定到框架上,或者建立在框架上,所述框架在此全部可以被稱作與框架122相關的“沉積物”。材料124被沉積在框架122的一側上。可被用作材料124的受關注的材料包含但不限於:Cu、CuCl、或CuI。除其他協議之外,材料124透過物理汽相沉積、電沉積、或等離子體沉積來沉積。材料124可以從大約0.05到大約500μm厚,諸如從大約5到大約100μm厚。形狀透過陰影掩膜沉積、或光刻法和蝕刻法控制。另外,即使僅有一個區域被示出用於沉積材料,根據需要,每一系統120也可包含兩個或多個可在其上沉積材料124的電氣上唯一的區域。
在作為圖4中所示的相對側的不同側,另一可消化的材料126被沉積,從而材料124和126彼此不同並且隔離。儘管未示出,所選擇的不同側可以是位於為材料124選擇的那一側的旁邊的側。本公開的範圍不受所選擇的側的限制,並且術語“不同側”可意味著與首先選擇的側不同的多個側中的任一側。在各個觀點中,不同的材料可被佈置在同一側上的不同位置。而且,儘管系統的形狀被示出為方形,但是該形狀可以是任何幾何學上的適當形狀。材料124和126被選擇,從而當系統120與諸如體液之類的導電液體接觸時材料124和126產生了電勢差。用於材料126的受關注的材料包含但不限於:Mg、Zn、或其他負電性金屬。如以上關於材料124所指出的,材料126可以以化學方法沉積在框架上,蒸發到框架上,固定到框架,或者建立在框架上。而且,可能需要粘合層幫助材料126(以及當需要時還有材料124)粘合到框架122。用於材料126的典型的粘合層是Ti、TiW、Cr或類似材料。陽極材料和粘合層可以透過物理汽相沉積、電沉積或等離子體沉積來沉積。材料126可以從大約0.05到大約500μm厚,諸如從大約5到大約100μm厚。然而,本公開的範圍既不受任一材料的厚度的限制又不受用於將材料沉積或固定到框架122的工藝類型的限制。
根據前述公開,材料124和126可以是具有不同電化學勢的任一對材料。另外,在系統120被用在活體內的實施例中,材料124和126可以是能夠被吸收的維生素。更具體地講,材料124和126可以由適合於系統120將要工作的環境的任何兩種材料製成。例如,當與可攝取的產品一起使用時,材料124和126是可攝取的具有不同電化學勢的任一對材料。說明性的示例包含當系統120與諸如胃酸之類的離子溶液接觸時的例子。適當的材料不被限制於金屬,並且在特定實施例中,從金屬和非金屬中選擇該對材料,例如一對由金屬(諸如Mg)和鹽(諸如CuCl或CuI)構成的材料。關於活性電極材料,任何成對的具有適當地不同的電化學勢(電壓)和低介面電阻的物質--金屬、鹽、或層間化合物是適當的。
受關注的材料和對包含但不限於在以下的表1中所記錄的那些。在一個實施例中,金屬之一或二者可被摻雜非金屬,例如,以當材料與導電液體接觸時提高在材料之間生成的電勢。在某些實施例中可被用作摻雜劑的非金屬包含但不限於:硫、碘等。在另一個實施例中,材料是作為陽極的碘化亞銅(CuI)和作為陰極的鎂(Mg)。本公開的觀點使用不會傷害人體的電極材料。
因此,當系統120與導電液體接觸時,透過不同材料124和126之間的導電液體形成電流通路。控制裝置128被固定到框架122,並且與材料124和126電連接。控制裝置128包含電路,例如能夠控制和改變材料124和126之間的電導的控制邏輯。
在不同的材料124和126之間生成的電勢提供了用於作業系統的功率以及產生了透過導電液體和系統120的電流。在一個觀點中,系統120在直流電模式下操作。在一個可選的觀點中,系統120控制電流的方向從而電流的方向以類似於交流電的迴圈方式反向。當系統到達導電液體或電解質,其中導電液體或電解質成分由例如胃酸的生理性液體提供時,不同材料124和126之間的電流通路在系統120之外被完成;透過系統120的電流通路由控制裝置128控制。電流通路的完成允許電流流動,並且轉而未示出的接收器能夠檢測到電流的存在並且認識到系統120已被啟動並且期望的事件正在發生或已經發生。
在一個實施例中,兩種不同的材料124和126在功能上類似於諸如電池之類的直流電源所需的兩個電極。導電液體用作完成該電源所需的電解質。所描述的完成的電源由系統120的不同材料124和126與身體周圍的液體之間的物理化學反應限定。完成的電源可被看做利用諸如胃液、血液或其他體液和某些組織之類的離子或導電溶液中的反向電解的電源。另外,環境可以是除身體以外其他的事物,並且液體可以是任何導電液體。例如,導電液體可以是鹽水或基於金屬的塗劑。
在某些觀點中,透過附加的材料層將兩種不同的材料124和126與周圍環境遮罩開。因此,當該遮罩溶解並且兩種不同的材料124、126暴露於目標位置時,產生電勢。
在某些觀點中,完整的電源是由活性電極材料、電解質、和諸如集電器、包裝之類的非活性材料構成的電源。活性材料是任一對具有不同電化學勢的材料。適當的材料不限於金屬,並且在某些實施例中,從金屬和非金屬中選擇成對的材料,例如一對由金屬(諸如Mg)和鹽(諸如CuI)構成的材料。關於活性電極材料,任何成對的具有適當地不同的電化學勢(電壓)和低介面電阻的物質--金屬、鹽、或層間化合物是適當的。
各種不同材料可被用作形成了電極的材料。在某些實施例中,選擇電極材料以在接觸例如胃的目標生理位置時提供足夠驅動識別符的系統的電壓。在某些實施例中,當電源的金屬與目標生理位置接觸時由電極材料提供的電壓是0.001V或更高,包含0.01V或更高,諸如0.1V或更高,例如0.3V或更高,包含0.5伏特或更高,並且包含1.0伏特或更高,其中在某些實施例中,電壓範圍從大約0.001到大約10伏特,諸如從大約0.01到大約10V。
仍然參照圖4,不同的材料124和126提供電勢以啟動控制裝置128。一旦控制裝置128被啟動或加電,則控制裝置128可以以唯一的方式改變第一材料124和第二材料126之間的電導。透過改變第一材料124和第二材料126之間的電導,控制裝置128能夠控制透過圍繞系統120的導電液體的電流的大小。這產生了能夠由接收器(未示出)檢測和測量的唯一的電流簽名,接收器可被佈置在體內或體外。在2009年12月15日提交的名為“BODY-ASSOCIATED RECEIVER AND METHOD”的第12/673326號美國專利申請中更詳細地揭露了接收器,並且在2010年12月9日被公開為2010-0312188 A1,其全部內容透過引用併入本文。除了控制材料之間的電流通路的大小,非導電材料、膜(membrane)、或“側緣(skirt)”被用於提高電流通路的“長度”,並且因此用於使傳導路徑升壓,如在2008年9月25日提交的名為“In-Body Device with Virtual Dipole Signal Amplification”的第12/238345號美國專利申請中所揭露,其全部內容透過引用併入本文。可選地,在這裏的整個公開中,在不影響此處的範圍或當前實施例和請求項的情況下,術語“非導電材料”、“膜”、和“側緣”可以與術語“電流通路延伸器”互換地使用。在125和127處分別部分地示出的側緣可以與框架122相關聯,例如固定到框架122。側緣的各種形狀和結構被考慮在本發明的各個觀點的範圍內。例如,系統120可整體地或部分地被側緣圍繞,並且側緣可被沿著系統120的中心軸佈置或相對於中心軸偏離中心佈置。因此,在此要求保護的本發明的範圍不受側緣的形狀或尺寸限制。而且,在其他實施例中,不同的材料124和126可被佈置於不同的材料124和126之間的任一限定區域中的一個側緣分開。
系統120可透過地面接觸來接地。系統120還可包含感測器模組。在操作中,在第一材料124至第二材料126之間並且透過與系統120接觸的導電液體建立離子通路或電流通路。透過第一和第二材料124/126與導電液體之間的化學反應來生成在第一材料124和第二材料126之間生成的電勢。在一個觀點中,第一材料124的表面不是平的,而是不規則表面。不規則表面增大了材料的表面積,並且因此增大了與導電液體接觸的面積。
在一個觀點中,在第一材料124的表面上,在材料124和周圍的導電液體之間發生化學反應,從而品質被釋放到導電液體中。在此使用的術語品質指的是形成了物質的原子和中子。一個例子包含材料是CuCl的時刻並且當與導電液體接觸時,CuCl變成Cu(固體)和溶液中的Cl-。到導電液體中的離子流透過離子通路。以類似的方式,在第二材料126和周圍的導電液體之間發生化學反應,並且離子由第二材料126取得。在第一材料124處的離子釋放和由第二材料126進行的離子取得被共同稱作離子交換。離子交換率以及因此的離子發射速率或流由控制裝置128控制。控制裝置128可透過改變第一材料124和第二材料126之間的改變了阻抗的電導來提高或降低離子流的速率。儘管控制了離子交換,但是系統120可對離子交換過程中的資訊編碼。因此,系統120使用離子發射來對離子交換中的資訊編碼。
在將固定的離子交換率或電流大小保持為恒定的同時,類似於當頻率被調製並且電流大小恒定時,控制裝置128可改變固定的離子交換率或電流大小的持續時間。而且,在將持續時間保持為近似恒定的同時,控制裝置128可改變離子交換率的水準或電流的大小。因此使用持續時間的改變與改變離子交換率或電流大小的各種組合,控制裝置128對電流或離子交換中的資訊編碼。例如,控制裝置128可使用但不限於以下技術中的任一項,即二進位相移鍵控(PSK)、頻率調製(FM)、幅度調製(AM)、啟閉鍵控、和具有啟閉鍵控的PSK。
系統120的各個觀點可包含作為控制裝置128的一部分的電子部件。可能存在的部件包含但不限於:邏輯和/或記憶元件、積體電路、電感器、電阻器、和用於測量各個參數的感測器。每一部件均可被固定到框架和/或固定到另一部件。可以以任何方便的結構來對支撐物的表面上的部件進行佈局。在兩個或多個部件存在於固體支撐物的表面上的情況下,可提供互聯。
系統120控制不同材料之間的電導並且因此控制離子交換率或電流。在以特定方式改變電導的過程中,系統能夠對離子交換和電流簽名中的資訊進行編碼。離子交換或電流簽名被用於唯一地識別特定系統。另外,系統120能夠產生各種不同的獨特交換或簽名,並且因此提供附加資訊。例如,基於第二電導改變模式的第二電流簽名可被用於提供附加資訊,附加資訊可以與物理環境相關。為了進一步說明,第一電流簽名可以是維持晶片上的振盪器的非常低的電流狀態,並且第二電流簽名可以是至少比與第一電流簽名的電流狀態高十倍的電流狀態。
現在返回參照圖1,行動電腦50與資料中心80通訊。資料中心80包含資料庫82和處理系統84。包含身份和藥物類型和劑量的與全部患者相關聯的資訊被儲存在資料庫82中。處理系統84接收來自行動電腦50的資訊並且存取資料中心80的資料庫82中的資訊以將資訊透過行動電腦50提供給醫療提供者。行動電腦50可交流包含用於身份證明的患者的照片、醫療提供者可利用的藥物類型、以及對醫療提供者選擇並給予患者60的藥物類型和劑量的確認的資訊。行動電腦50可週期性地基於預定的時間延遲使用諸如無線、G2、G3、即時之類的在該場合可用的任何通訊模式和頻率來與資料中心80通訊,以及在稍後儲存和轉發。
圖1示出了行動電腦50的一個觀點。在各個觀點中,行動電腦50可包含無線裝置或利用無線裝置實現。
根據針對給定組的設計參數或性能限制的需要,行動電腦50通常可以包含被實現為硬體、軟體、或其任意組合的各種物理或邏輯元件。在各個觀點中,可透過一個或多個通訊介質連接物理或邏輯元件。例如,根據對給定實現方式的需要,通訊介質可包含有線通訊介質、無線通訊介質、或這二者的組合。
如圖所示,行動電腦50可包含顯示器58。可使用諸如液晶顯示器(LCD)之類的任意類型的視覺化介面實現顯示器58。
