Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing medical information. According to the present invention, in order to resolve the problems of the existing drug prescription method, which involves the inconvenience of patients having to visit a pharmacy in person to purchase prescription drugs and the limitation of difficulty in obtaining information about various drugs listed on the prescription, the system is configured to recognize and classify various information on the prescription, set priorities for the prescribed drugs and rearrange them, add additional medication instructions when drugs with side effects or specific interactions are prescribed together, and edit drug descriptions and medication instructions scripts written directly by a pharmacist into video using AI and provide them to the patient. This enables the provision of accurate and detailed information regarding the entire drug prescription process, from dispensing the prescribed drugs to medication instructions, based on the contents of the prescription. Consequently, even ordinary people or patients lacking specialized knowledge of drugs can easily understand the contents of the prescription and adhere to the correct dosage method, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of drug treatment and effectively preventing side effects or misuse caused by incorrect administration.

Description

System and method for providing prescription information The present invention relates to a system and method for providing medical information. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for providing medical information configured to recognize various information from an image of a prescription and provide the patient with detailed information and medication guidance regarding the prescribed drug by recognizing various information from the image of the prescription. This is intended to resolve the limitations of the existing drug prescription method, which, in addition to the inconvenience of patients having to visit a pharmacy in person to purchase the prescribed drug after receiving a prescription from a doctor following a medical consultation, and the fact that the general public or patients lack specialized knowledge about pharmaceuticals, making it difficult to obtain specific information such as the correct dosage method or side effects of the various drugs listed on the prescription, resulting in reduced effectiveness of the prescription due to failure to follow the correct dosage method, or problems such as side effects or drug misuse caused by incorrect administration. Furthermore, to address the limitations of existing drug prescription methods—which, as mentioned above, involve the inconvenience of patients having to visit a pharmacy in person to purchase prescription drugs, as well as difficulties in obtaining information about the various medications listed on the prescription, leading to failure to adhere to the correct dosage instructions, reduced effectiveness of the prescription, or problems such as side effects and misuse—the present invention is configured to perform processing that converts the image of the prescription into text via OCR to classify doctor information, patient information, and prescribed drug information; rearranges the prescribed drugs by setting priorities according to predetermined criteria for drug explanation and medication guidance; recognizes cases where drugs with side effects or specific interactions are prescribed together and adds additional medication guidance content; organizes the drug explanation and guidance scripts written directly by the pharmacist into a database; and edits them into video using AI to provide to the patient. By doing so, accurate and detailed information regarding the entire drug prescription process, from dispensing to medication guidance, based on the contents of the prescription, can be provided. Consequently, even ordinary people or patients lacking specialized knowledge of medications can easily understand the contents of the prescription and adhere to the correct dosage instructions, thereby [improving] drug treatment This invention relates to a medical information provision system and method configured to enhance efficacy and effectively prevent side effects or misuse caused by incorrect medication administration. Conventionally, generally, when a prescription is required after a medical examination at a hospital or clinic, a doctor issues a prescription to the patient. The patient then visits a pharmacy with the prescription and presents it; the pharmacist verifies the prescription, dispenses the prescribed medication, and provides instructions on how to take it. Drug treatment is then carried out through the process in which the patient takes the prescribed medication according to the pharmacist's instructions. In addition, recently, as presented in, for example, Korean Published Patent Application No. 10-2024-0136290, “Method and System for Providing Dispensing, Distribution and Delivery Services of Prescription Drugs via Electronic Prescription” and Korean Registered Patent Application No. 10-2648677, “Identification Code-Based Prescription Reception Application, Pharmacy Support System and Method Including the Same,” various devices and methods have been proposed to make the process more convenient for each patient from receiving a prescription after medical treatment to actually receiving the prescribed drugs listed on the prescription at a pharmacy. However, the contents of the prior art as described above had the following limitations. More specifically, as mentioned above, existing drug treatment methods have limitations in that, in addition to the inconvenience of patients having to visit a pharmacy in person to purchase prescription drugs, medication guidance generally consists mostly of simply explaining how to take the medication upon receipt. Consequently, ordinary people or patients lacking specialized knowledge of pharmaceuticals frequently fail to properly understand or accurately remember the pharmacist's instructions, leading to instances where they take the medication arbitrarily without adhering to the prescribed dosage or method. This results in reduced effectiveness of the prescription and causes problems such as side effects due to incorrect administration and drug misuse. However,
