Remote data management system and measuring data gathering method

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote data management system with which, by keeping the transmission of measured data from measurers from being concentrated at particular times, the measured data can be gathered efficiently and the party managing the data can suffice with a minimal equipment investment. In patient households (B, C ...), a personal measuring device (3) is connected to a communications device (2) via a cable or the like, and data that are measured by the personal measuring device (3) are transferred to the communications device (2) and stored. A server (1) of a medical institution (A) sends a data transmission request to the communications device (2) in each patient's household via a public communications network 10 daily, biweekly, or monthly, for example. When the communications device (2) receives the data transmission request it transmits the stored measured data to the server (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to remote data, such as a remote health management system that remotely manages the health of patients, for example, by measuring various data with a personal measuring device outside a medical institution, and transmitting the measured data to a medical institution through a public communication network. management system. Background technique [0002] Currently, there are known personal measurement devices (for example, electrocardiographs, sphygmomanometers, blood glucose meters, urine sample analysis devices, etc.) that allow patients to self-measure various data outside of medical institutions. [0003] For example, in the case of a diabetic patient who needs to control blood sugar on a daily basis, such a personal measuring device (blood sugar level meter) is used to measure blood sugar four times a day (morning, lunch, before and after dinner, and before going to bed), and the measurement results are recorded. in t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, with the above-mentioned conventional system, since the time for patients to measure and transmit data is concentrated in a specific time slot, it is difficult to connect to the server during this time slot.

In order to eliminate this phenomenon, it is necessary to take measures such as adding equipment for connecting to the server from the outside, which will cause a problem of increased investment in equipment for medical institutions

In addition, for the patient, data must be sent for each measurement, and there are problems of time-consuming and communication costs
