PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly provide an object person with a medicine even when he/she gets into exceptional situations such as sleeping in the morning.SOLUTION: A provision-side control part of a medicine provision device identifies a morning medicine provision time depending on a difference between a "(reference) morning medicine provision time" serving as a reference time and a wake-up time for an object person (steps S2A, S3A and S4A). The provision-side control part 40 performs processing (medicine provision processing) for providing the object person with the medicine, at the identified morning medicine provision time (steps S5A and S6A).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】対象者に朝寝坊などの例外的な事態が生じても適切に薬を提供可能にする。【解決手段】薬提供装置の提供側制御部は、基準時刻である「(基準)朝用薬提供時刻」と対象者の起床時刻との差に応じて朝用薬提供時刻を特定する(ステップS2A、S3A、S4A)。そして、提供側制御部40は、特定した朝用薬提供時刻に、対象者に薬を提供する処理(薬提供処理)を実行する(ステップS5A、S6A)。【選択図】図6
