[0061] Additionally, the healthcare system may further include a calculation module (150) that calculates whether the pet owner and the pet prefer traditional Korean medicine methods through a predetermined calculation method, and an acquisition module (160) that calculates a novel antipathy level indicating the antipathy the owner has toward new knowledge.

[0062] Additionally, the healthcare system may further include a trend module (170) that calculates a trend index, which is information on the frequency of herbal treatment for expected diseases during a predetermined past period based on the judgment point.

[0063] Additionally, the healthcare system may further include a storage module (180) that stores all information necessary for the operation of a transmission / reception module (110), an analysis module (120), a decision module (130), a recommendation module (140), a calculation module (150), an acquisition module (160), a trend module (170), and / or an interface module (190), and an interface module (190) that generates a user interface.

[0065] The transmission and reception module (110) can transmit and receive information (data) from an external server, an administrator terminal, and a medical server.

[0066] In addition, the above-mentioned transmission and reception module (110) can request information (data) or transmit information to an external server, an administrator terminal, or a medical server.

[0067] For example, the transceiver module (110) may include a cellular module, a WiFi module, a Bluetooth module, a GNSS module, an NFC module, an RF module, a 5G module, an LTE module, an NB-IOT module and / or a LoRa module.

[0068] However, not limited thereto, the module included in the transmission / reception module (110) can be modified in various ways that are obvious to a person skilled in the art.

[0069] The transmission and reception module can receive treatment information from the medical server.

[0070] For example, treatment information may include all information regarding medications prescribed for any disease, medical procedures performed, and health status resulting from the treatment.

[0071] Through treatment information, it is possible to identify which drugs were prescribed and which medical procedures were performed for a given disease, and consequently, what trends led to the improvement or deterioration of the animal's condition.

[0072] For example, treatment information may include medical papers, treatment records from medical institutions, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0073] The transmission / reception module (110) can receive other information from the medical server.

[0074] For example, other information may include information regarding pet food, treats, health supplements, and health functional foods. Here, other information may include nutritional components, names of ingredients, and content for each product.

[0075] The transmission and reception module (110) can receive symptom information, individual information, survey information, and response information from the guardian.

[0076] Symptom information may include information about abnormal symptoms of the pet.

[0077] The guardian can input symptom information through the device.

[0078] For example, symptom information may consist of multiple sentences. However, it is not limited to this, and symptom information may consist of answers to questions generated through a predetermined algorithm.

[0079] Individual information may refer to information about the pet's personal details.

[0080] For example, individual information may include the pet's name, gender, age, neutering status, and photo information, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0082] Survey information may refer to information returned from a survey provided to the guardian.

[0083] For example, survey information may include objective information about the guardian and subjective information about the guardian.

[0084] For example, objective information about a guardian may include information about the guardian's age, gender, and education level.

[0085] For example, the guardian's subjective information could be information about the guardian's hobbies.

[0086] In addition, the above survey information may include information on the types of food consumed by pets and the scents preferred by pets.

[0087] For example, the types of food consumed by pets may be information regarding dry, wet, and semi-wet food.

[0088] For example, the scent preferred by pets may be at least one of mint, cinnamon, floral, fruity, aromatic, woody, or humid scents. However, it is not limited to these, and the candidates for scents can be varied in many ways that are obvious to a person of ordinary skill.

[0090] Response information may be information about the option (answer) selected by the guardian in the quiz.

[0091] In other words, the response information can consist of at least one of the quiz options.

[0093] The analysis module (120) can predict the disease of the pet based on symptom information.

[0094] For example, the analysis module (120) can calculate the expected disease of a pet by utilizing an existing known Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS).

[0095] However, not limited to this, the prediction algorithm used by the analysis module (120) can be varied in various ways that are obvious to a person skilled in the art.

[0096] That is, the analysis module (120) can calculate the expected disease of the pet.

[0097] For example, the concept of expected disease may include not only illnesses such as the common cold, diabetes, kidney failure, and heart failure, but also unhealthy conditions such as weakness and dehydration.

[0099] The decision module (130) can determine a medical method suitable for treating the expected disease using a predetermined decision method.

[0100] For example, medical methods may include Western treatment methods and Korean treatment methods.

[0101] Western treatment methods can refer to treatment methods based on Western medicine.

[0102] Traditional Korean medicine treatment methods can refer to treatment methods based on Korean or Chinese medicine.

[0103] The decision module (130) can selectively determine either a Western medical method or a Korean medical method. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0104] The predetermined decision method may be a method of making a decision by comparing a first judgment index, which is an index on whether a Korean medical method is appropriate for treating an expected disease, and a second judgment index, which is an index on whether a Western medical method is appropriate for treating an expected disease.

[0105] The decision module (130) can request and receive treatment information that has treated the expected disease from the medical server or the external server in order to calculate the first judgment index and the second judgment index.

[0107] The decision module (130) can implement a predetermined decision method based only on treatment information of pets of the same species and similar age group as the pet subject to judgment.

[0108] The decision module (130) can calculate the number of cases in which patients received treatment for the same disease as the expected disease and their symptoms improved based on the above treatment information.

[0109] Here, improvement of symptoms may mean that it is described in the treatment information or that additional treatment has been completed after the treatment.

[0110] Pets classified into 1 year old or younger, over 1 year old or younger, over 7 years old or younger, over 7 years old or younger, and over 12 years old, and pets classified into the same group can be defined as being in a similar age group.

[0111] The decision module (130) can calculate a first judgment index based on the number of cases in which the expected disease was improved using a Korean medicine method based on the above treatment information.

[0112] For example, the first judgment index can be calculated as a score from 0 to 100.

[0113] For example, the higher the number of cases where anticipated diseases were improved through Korean traditional medicine, the higher the first judgment index may be. Conversely, the lower the number of cases where anticipated diseases were improved through Korean traditional medicine, the lower the first judgment index may be.

[0114] Likewise, the decision module (130) can calculate a second judgment index based on the number of cases in which the expected disease was improved by a Western medical method based on the treatment information.

[0115] For example, the second judgment index can be calculated as a score from 0 to 100.

[0116] For example, the higher the number of cases where an anticipated disease was improved through Western medical methods, the higher the second judgment index may be. Conversely, the lower the number of cases where an anticipated disease was improved through Western medical methods, the lower the second judgment index may be.

[0117] The rate at which the first judgment index or the second judgment index increases or decreases depending on the number of cases in which the expected disease has been improved can be varied in many ways at a level obvious to a person skilled in the art.

[0118] A predetermined decision method may be a method for determining a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, wherein the medical method corresponding to the larger judgment index is determined as the medical method suitable for treating the expected disease.

[0119] Here, a predetermined value may be 20, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0120] For example, if the first judgment index is 93 and the second judgment index is 54, the first judgment index and the second judgment index differ by more than a predetermined value, so the Korean medicine medical method corresponding to the first judgment index can be determined as a medical method suitable for treating the expected disease.

[0121] In contrast, the above-determined decision method may be a method for determining a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease by considering whether the pet owner and the pet prefer traditional Korean medicine methods when the difference between the above-determined first judgment index and the above-determined second judgment index is less than a predetermined value.

[0122] Here, a predetermined value may be 20, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0123] At this time, the decision module (130) can receive a response from the calculation module (150) regarding whether the pet owner and the pet prefer traditional Korean medicine methods.

[0125] A predetermined decision method may be a method for determining a Korean medicine method as a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value, and both the pet's guardian and the pet prefer the Korean medicine method.

[0126] In addition, the predetermined decision method may be a method for determining a Western medical method as a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value and both the pet's guardian and the pet prefer Western medical methods.

[0127] The predetermined decision method may be a method for determining a Korean medicine method as a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease only when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value, and only the pet prefers the Korean medicine method, and the novel anti-sensitivity described below is below a predetermined standard.

[0128] Here, the predetermined standard may be 30 points, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0129] This may be a situation where the pet prefers traditional Korean medicine, but the owner does not. In such cases, if the owner has low resistance to new treatments, recommending unfamiliar traditional Korean medicine methods may be intended to suit the pet's preferences.

[0130] A predetermined decision method is a method for determining a Korean medicine method as a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease only when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value, and only the pet guardian prefers the Korean medicine method, and the trend index is above a predetermined standard.

[0131] Here, the predetermined standard may be 1.5, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0132] This may be because more effective medical procedures can be performed on pets by reflecting the guardian's will and recent medical trends, and because pets can undergo medical procedures to some extent under the guardian's control.

[0133] The appropriate medical method determined by the decision module (130) can be transmitted to the recommendation module (140).

[0135] The calculation module (150) can calculate whether the pet owner and the pet prefer traditional Korean medicine methods through a predetermined calculation method.

[0136] The output module (150) can perform a predetermined output method based on survey information.

[0137] The predetermined calculation method may be a method for determining whether a pet owner prefers traditional Korean medical methods based on the pet owner's objective information and subjective information.

[0138] The calculation module (150) can calculate the first preference index, which is the degree of preference for the guardian's Korean medicine method.

[0139] For example, the above first preference index can be calculated as a score of 0 to 100 or less.

[0140] The calculation module (150) can determine that the pet owner prefers traditional Korean medicine methods when the first preference index is above any standard.

[0141] For example, any standard may be 80, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0142] The calculation module (150) can calculate the first-1 preference index among the first preference indices based on objective information of the guardian.

[0143] For example, the 1-1 preference index may be a score of 0 to 80 or less.

[0144] For example, the higher the guardian's age, the higher the 1-1 preference index may be.

[0145] For example, the score may be 0 points for ages 0 to under 20, 10 points for ages 20 to under 40, 20 points for ages 40 to under 60, and 30 points for ages 60 or older. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0146] For example, the female gender may have a higher first-to-first preference index than the male gender.

[0147] For example, if the guardian is female, it can be 20 points, and if the guardian is male, it can be 10 points.

[0148] The higher the guardian's education level, the higher the 1-1 preference index may be.

[0149] This may be because the higher the level of education, the less resistance there is to new knowledge.

[0150] For example, if the guardian has a doctoral degree or higher, 30 points may be awarded; if they have a master's degree, 20 points; if they have a bachelor's degree, 15 points; if they have an associate degree, 10 points; and if they have a high school diploma or lower, 5 points. However, the present invention may not be limited thereto.

[0151] The calculation module (150) can calculate the first-1 preference index by adding up all the scores calculated according to the guardian's objective information.

[0153] In addition, the above-mentioned calculation module (150) can calculate the first-2nd preference index among the first preference indices based on the guardian's subjective information.

[0154] For example, the first-second preference index may be a score of 0 to 20 or less.

[0155] For example, if the hobby is nature-preferred, the first-second preference index may be 20 points, if the hobby is neutral, the first-second preference index may be 10 points, and if the hobby is non-nature-preferred, the first-second preference index may be 0 points.

[0156] For example, nature-oriented hobbies may include hiking, golf, traveling, trekking, and gardening.

[0157] For example, neutral hobbies can be swimming, soccer, foot volleyball, volleyball, baseball, etc.

[0158] For example, non-nature-preferring hobbies can include gaming, reading, knitting, and meditation.

[0159] The category to which a hobby belongs may be designated in advance.

[0160] The calculation module (150) can calculate the first preference index by adding the first-1 preference index and the first-2 preference index.

[0162] A predetermined calculation method may be a method for determining whether a pet prefers traditional Korean medical methods based on the types of food consumed by the pet and the scents preferred by the pet.

[0163] The calculation module (150) can calculate a second preference index, which is the degree of preference for the pet's traditional medicine treatment method.

[0164] For example, the above second preference index can be calculated as a score of 0 to 100 or less.

[0165] The calculation module (150) can determine that the pet prefers the traditional Korean medicine method if the second preference index is greater than or equal to any standard.

[0166] For example, any standard may be 80, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0167] The calculation module (150) can calculate the 2-1 preference index among the 2 preference indices based on the type of food consumed by the pet.

[0168] For example, if the type of food consumed by the pet is dry, the 2-1 preference index may be 10 points; if it is semi-moist, the 2-1 preference index may be 30 points; and if it is wet, the 2-1 preference index may be 50 points. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0169] The calculation module (150) can calculate the second-2nd preference index among the second preference indices based on the scent preferred by the pet.

[0170] For example, wood scent and cinnamon scent may have a 2-2 preference index of 50 points.

[0171] For example, humid scent and mint scent may have a 2-2 preference index of 40 points.

[0172] For example, fruit flavor may have a 2-2 preference index of 30 points.

[0173] For example, aroma scents and floral scents may have a 2-2 preference index of 20 points.

[0174] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the type of fragrance and the value of the 2-2 preference index according to the fragrance can be varied in various ways to the extent obvious to a person skilled in the art.

[0175] The calculation module (150) can calculate the second preference index by adding the second-1 preference index and the second-2 preference index.

[0176] The information calculated by the calculation module (150) can be transmitted to the decision module (130).

[0178] The acquisition module (160) can calculate a new aversion that indicates the aversion a guardian has toward new knowledge.

[0179] The acquisition module (160) can generate multiple quizzes asking about current events based on news information released in the previous month at the beginning of each month.

[0180] For example, a quiz can consist of a question and multiple answer choices.

[0181] For example, the acquisition module (160) can generate a quiz based on news articles collected over a certain period using a large language model.

[0182] For example, a large language model may be ChatGPT, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0183] The acquisition module (160) can generate 10 quizzes, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0184] The quiz generated by the acquisition module (160) is transmitted to the guardian terminal, and the guardian can generate response information that is the answer to the quiz.

[0185] The guardian terminal can transmit response information to the transmission / reception module (110).

[0186] The acquisition module (160) can calculate the new half-sensitivity based on the above response information.

[0187] The acquisition module (160) can calculate the new anti-sensitivity based on whether the response information matches the correct answer to the quiz.

[0188] For example, the learning module can calculate a lower new anti-sensitivity as the degree to which the response information matches the correct answer of the quiz increases. Conversely, the learning module (160) can calculate a higher new anti-sensitivity as the degree to which the response information matches the correct answer of the quiz decreases.

[0189] For example, the acquisition module (160) can calculate the new half-sensitivity as a score of 0 to 100 or less.

[0190] The acquisition module (160) can calculate "100 - the match rate between the response information and the correct answer" as a new half-sensitivity.

[0191] For example, if the agreement rate between the response information and the correct answer is 80%, the new anti-intelligence level can be 20.

[0192] The fact that there is low aversion to new things implies that guardians actively seek out the latest news and have a strong interest, which can be inferred to mean that they have low aversion to new technology or knowledge.

[0194] The trend module (170) can calculate a trend index, which is information on the frequency of herbal treatment for expected diseases during a predetermined past period based on a judgment point (trend index update point, hereinafter the same).

[0195] The trend module (170) can calculate the frequency of herbal medicine treatments for past pets of the same species and similar age as the pet being judged for the expected disease based on treatment information.

[0196] The trend module (170) can calculate a trend index by comparing the 'frequency of herbal medicine treatment of past pets of the same species and similar age as the pet being judged during the first period in the past based on the judgment point' and the 'frequency of herbal medicine treatment of past pets of the same species and similar age as the pet being judged during the second period in the past based on the judgment point'.

[0197] Here, the first past period may refer to the period three months prior to the time of judgment.

[0198] In addition, the second past period may refer to the period one year prior to the time of judgment.

[0199] Specifically, the trend module (170) can calculate the value of the 'frequency of herbal medicine treatment of past pets of the same species and similar age as the pet being judged during the first period being judged' as a trend index compared to the 'frequency of herbal medicine treatment of past pets of the same species and similar age as the pet being judged during the second period being judged during the second period being judged during the second period being judged during the second period being judged during the second period being judged'.

[0200] In other words, if traditional Korean medicine treatments for anticipated diseases are frequently being performed recently based on the time of judgment, the trend index may increase.

[0201] For example, the trend module (170) can periodically calculate a trend index for each disease.

[0202] For example, the period calculated by the trend module (170) may be one day, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0203] The trend index calculated by the trend module (170) can be transmitted to the decision module (130).

[0205] The recommendation module (140) can produce a treatment plan for treating an expected disease determined according to a medical method (traditional Korean medical method or Western medical method) determined by the decision module (130).

[0206] To this end, the recommendation module (140) can request necessary information from an external server or a medical server.

[0207] The recommendation module (140) can recommend at least one of a folk remedy, exercise method, health supplement, and feed for treating the expected disease of the pet.

[0208] In other words, treatment plans may include information on folk remedies, exercise methods, health supplements, and feed.

[0209] Folk remedies can refer to treatment methods that can be performed at home to treat or alleviate anticipated diseases.

[0210] Exercise methods can refer to exercises performed to treat or alleviate anticipated diseases.

[0211] Health supplements may refer to foods (nutritional supplements) that can be consumed to treat or alleviate anticipated diseases.

[0212] Feed can refer to food that can be consumed to treat or alleviate anticipated diseases.

[0213] Additionally, the recommendation module (140) can recommend information about a hospital or pharmacy that can treat the expected disease according to the medical method determined by the decision module (130).

[0214] Through this, guardians can treat their pets with medical methods optimized for the situation.

[0216] The storage module (180) can store information (data) necessary for the operation of the transmission / reception module (110), the analysis module (120), the decision module (130), the recommendation module (140), the acquisition module, the calculation module (150), the trend module (170) and / or the interface module (190).

[0217] The storage module (180) can provide necessary information according to the requests of each module.

[0218] The storage module (180) can store the treatment information, the other information, etc.

[0219] The storage module (180) can store individual information and symptom information in a database for each guardian or pet.

[0220] The storage module (180) may store a trend index for each disease.

[0221] For example, the storage module may include internal memory and / or external memory.

[0222] For example, the embedded memory may include at least one of volatile memory (e.g., DRAM, SRAM, or SDRAM, etc.), non-volatile memory (e.g., OTPROM (one time programmable ROM), PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, mask ROM, flash ROM, flash memory, hard drive, or solid-state drive (SSD)).

[0223] External memory may include flash drives, for example, CF (compact flash), SD (secure digital), Micro-SD, Mini-SD, xD (extreme digital), MMC (multi-media card), or Memory Stick.

[0225] The interface module (190) can create a user interface that can display information, input information, and transmit and receive information so that the administrator can use it in the healthcare system.

[0226] The administrator can input symptom information, survey information, or individual information through the user interface activated on the administrator terminal.

[0227] In addition, the administrator can input response information through the user interface activated on the administrator terminal.

[0228] The user interface displays and allows access to information necessary for pet life cycle healthcare management.

[0229] For example, the user interface may display pet food, treats, nutritional supplements, health supplements, hospitals, etc.

[0230] In addition, the administrator can enter a record log for the pet through the user interface.

[0231] For example, treatment plans and recommended hospital lists generated by the recommendation module (140) can be displayed on the user interface.

[0233] Below, the healthcare methods implemented by the healthcare system will be described in detail.

[0235] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a healthcare method according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of a healthcare system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0237] Further details may be omitted to the extent that they overlap with the above-mentioned content.

[0239] Referring to FIG. 3, a healthcare method according to one embodiment of the present invention is a healthcare method for comprehensively managing the health of a pet by being implemented by a healthcare system, and may include: a step of receiving symptom information, which is information about the symptoms of a pet, by a transmission / reception module; a step of determining a Western medical method or a Korean medical method suitable for treating the expected disease by a predetermined determination method, by transferring treatment information, which is information about treatment for an expected disease, by a determination module; and a step of recommending a treatment plan for treating the expected disease according to the medical method determined by the determination module by a recommendation module.

[0240] In addition, the stage where a Western medical method or a Korean medical method is determined may be a stage where one of the two is selectively decided.

[0242] Referring to Fig. 4, a guardian can access the healthcare system through a terminal and register individual information about their pet.

[0243] If a pet is not in a normal state, the guardian can obtain necessary health information through the healthcare system.

[0244] The guardian can input the pet's symptom information through the guardian's device.

[0245] The guardian terminal transmits symptom information to the transmission / reception module (110), and the transmission / reception module (110) can transmit the symptom information to the analysis module (120).

[0246] The analysis module (120) can calculate the expected disease based on the above symptom information.

[0247] The analysis module (120) can transmit the calculated predicted disease to the decision module (130).

[0248] The decision module (130) can determine a medical method suitable for treating the expected disease using a predetermined decision method.

[0249] The decision module (130) can calculate a first judgment index and a second judgment index based on treatment information received from a medical server and an external server.

[0250] If the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value, the decision module (130) may request the calculation module (150) to calculate whether the pet owner and the pet prefer traditional Korean medicine methods.

[0251] The output module (150) requests the interface module (190) to generate a user interface in which a survey is displayed, and the interface module (190) can transmit the user interface to the guardian terminal through the transmission / reception module (110).

[0252] The guardian answers the survey, and the guardian terminal can transmit the survey information to the calculation module (150) through the transmission / reception module (110).

[0253] The calculation module (150) can calculate whether the guardian prefers traditional Korean medicine methods and whether the pet prefers traditional Korean medicine methods based on survey information and a predetermined calculation method, and transmit the results to the decision module (130).

[0254] The decision module (130) may request the acquisition module (160) to calculate the guardian's new antipathy when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value and only the pet prefers the herbal medical method.

[0255] In accordance with the request, the acquisition module (160) can generate a quiz and request it to the guardian terminal.

[0256] The guardian can input the answer to the quiz into the guardian terminal, and the guardian terminal can transmit the response information to the acquisition module (160) through the transmission / reception module (110).

[0257] The acquisition module (160) can calculate a new half-sensitivity based on the response information and transmit it to the decision module (130).

[0258] Unlike the above, the decision module (130) may request the trend module (170) to calculate a trend index for the expected disease when the difference between the first judgment index and the second judgment index is less than a predetermined value and only the pet guardian prefers the traditional Korean medicine method.

[0259] Accordingly, the trend module (170) can calculate a trend index based on treatment information for the expected disease and transmit it to the decision module (130).

[0260] The decision module (130) can determine a medical method suitable for treating an expected disease using a predetermined decision method and transmit it to the recommendation module (140).

[0261] The recommendation module (140) can calculate a treatment plan that reflects the medical method determined by the decision module (130) and transmit it to the interface module (190), and the interface module (190) can generate a user interface that displays the treatment plan and transmit it to a guardian terminal.

[0263] FIGS. 5 and 6 are examples of a user interface generated by an interface module (190) of a healthcare system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0265] Referring to Fig. 5(a), the guardian can input individual information of the pet, such as name, sex, gender, neutering status, and photo, through a user interface activated on the guardian terminal.

[0266] In addition, referring to Fig. 5(b), the guardian can obtain information such as hospitals, feed, health foods, and supplies suitable for the pet's species and current age through a user interface activated on the guardian terminal.

[0267] Referring to Fig. 6, when a guardian inputs symptom information, the expected disease and recommended medical treatment can be displayed on the user interface.

[0269] In this way, not only is health management tailored to the entire life cycle of pets provided, but customized health solutions are also provided by integrating Western and Korean medicine, thereby enabling the provision of healthier pet healthcare services.

[0271] In order to more clearly express the technical concept of the present invention, the attached drawings briefly depict or omit configurations that are unrelated to or have little relevance to the technical concept of the present invention.

[0273] Although the structure and features of the present invention have been described above based on embodiments according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, it is noted that such changes or modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
