The thesis aims to explore the path of intelligent drug packaging design, to provide better safety protection for patients’ drug use, and to promote the construction of a healthy China with technological innovation and information technology. The method is to analyze that the needs of patients for drug safety and the development of the packaging industry are the two principal driving elements of intelligent drug packaging design; to explain the specific application of drug intelligent drug packaging in the three paths of protective structure, active materials and information technology; to provide easy-to-use and low-cost strategic suggestions to the current situation of the intelligent design of drug packaging in China. The conclusion is that the structured intelligent drug packaging should abandon the idea of achieving safety protection by increasing the difficulty of opening, and switch to an electronic alarm device that is easy to operate; active material-based drug intelligent packaging should widely use color-changing materials and luminescent materials to determine the timeliness of drugs and ensure the absolute safety of patients using drugs; information technology-based drugs intelligent packaging uses radio frequency identification or QR code technology to allow patients to interact with medicines, flexibly get all kinds of information needed and assist in drugs.
