Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical software, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for verifying diagnostic prescriptions for treating limb pain. Background Technology

[0002] In treating limb pain, assistive devices can be used, such as electrical stimulation and heat therapy. When using these devices, a clear treatment plan is necessary, including the location of the affected area. These plans are generally determined based on the patient's description or the doctor's subjective experience.

[0003] This method of determination involves subjective factors from both the patient and the doctor. Once the doctor has determined the treatment prescription, problems with the prescription can only be discovered during the treatment process, and adjustments can be made during the treatment, which reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.

[0004] The inventors discovered that there is no existing method for validating treatment prescriptions, which in some cases reduces the effectiveness of the treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method and apparatus for verifying diagnostic prescriptions for treating limb pain, thereby at least addressing the problem in the prior art where treatment prescriptions for limb pain treatment using auxiliary equipment are not verified.

[0006] According to one aspect of this application, a method for verifying a diagnostic prescription for treating limb pain is provided, comprising: receiving patient information input on a medical service platform, wherein the patient information includes: the patient's physiological attributes and the patient's disease information; generating a treatment prescription based on the patient information, wherein the treatment prescription includes at least: a site to be treated, the lesion site to be treated will be treated using a treatment device for treating limb pain; acquiring an infrared thermal image of the patient taken by an infrared thermal imaging device; acquiring abnormal points on the infrared thermal imaging device, determining whether the location of the abnormal points matches the site to be treated in the treatment prescription; and if they match, determining that the treatment prescription is an usable treatment prescription.

[0007] Furthermore, in the event of a discrepancy, the method further includes: displaying the lesion site to be treated and the location of the abnormal point in the treatment prescription; after displaying, receiving a confirmation command or a command to adjust the part to be treated in the treatment prescription, wherein the confirmation command is used to confirm that the site to be treated in the treatment prescription is correct.

[0008] Furthermore, upon receiving the determination command, the treatment prescription is determined to be an available treatment prescription.

[0009] Furthermore, after receiving the adjustment command, the method further includes: adjusting the lesion site to be treated in the treatment prescription according to the adjustment command; and determining that the adjusted treatment prescription is a usable treatment prescription.

[0010] According to another aspect of this application, a diagnostic prescription verification device for treating limb pain is also provided, comprising: a first receiving module for receiving patient information input on a medical business platform, wherein the patient information includes: the patient's physiological attributes and the patient's symptom information; a generating module for generating a treatment prescription based on the patient's information, wherein the treatment prescription includes at least: a site to be treated, the lesion site to be treated will be treated using a treatment device for treating limb pain; a first acquiring module for acquiring an infrared thermal image of the patient taken by an infrared thermal imaging device; a second acquiring module for acquiring abnormal points on the infrared thermal imaging device and determining whether the location of the abnormal points matches the lesion site to be treated in the treatment prescription; and a determining module for determining that the treatment prescription is an usable treatment prescription if they match.

[0011] Furthermore, in the event of a discrepancy, the device further includes: a display module for displaying the lesion site to be treated and the location of the abnormal point in the treatment prescription; and a second receiving module for receiving a confirmation command or a command to adjust the part to be treated in the treatment prescription after the display is performed, wherein the confirmation command is used to confirm that the site to be treated in the treatment prescription is correct.

[0014] According to another aspect of this application, a diagnostic prescription verification system for treating limb pain is also provided, comprising: a treatment device for treating a patient's limb pain; and a medical business platform for performing the above-described method, wherein the medical business platform is a software platform.

[0015] Furthermore, the medical business platform adopts a C / S or B / S architecture.

[0016] In this embodiment, the method involves receiving patient information input on a medical service platform. This patient information includes the patient's physiological attributes and disease information. A treatment prescription is generated based on the patient information, wherein the treatment prescription includes at least the treatment site, where the lesion will be treated using a limb pain treatment device.

Attached Figure Description

[0017] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this application, are used to provide a further understanding of this application. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this application are used to explain this application and do not constitute an undue limitation of this application. In the drawings:

[0018] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for verifying a diagnostic prescription for treating limb pain according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0021] In this embodiment, a method for verifying a diagnostic prescription for treating limb pain is provided. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for verifying a diagnostic prescription for treating limb pain according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0022] Step S102: Receive patient information input on the medical service platform, wherein the patient information includes: the patient's physiological attributes and the patient's disease information;

[0023] Step S104: Generate a treatment prescription based on the patient's information, wherein the treatment prescription includes at least: the lesion site to be treated, and the lesion site to be treated will be treated using a treatment device for limb pain.

[0024] In this step, the medical business platform can have a built-in algorithm that can automatically generate a treatment prescription based on the patient's information. After the treatment prescription is generated, it can be displayed to the doctor. After the doctor confirms it, the treatment prescription confirmed by the doctor is used as the treatment prescription for comparison with anomalies in step S108.

[0025] The algorithm can be a set of built-in conditional rules, which are patient information, and then determine the corresponding treatment prescription based on the patient information under the pre-configured conditional rules.

[0026] The algorithm can also be a machine learning model, which is trained using multiple sets of training data. Each set of training data includes input data and output data. The input data is the patient's information, and the output data is a treatment prescription manually formulated by the doctor based on the patient's information. After training, a usable machine learning model is obtained. In step S104, the patient's information is input into the machine learning model to obtain the treatment prescription.

[0027] Step S106: Obtain the infrared thermal image of the patient captured by the infrared thermal imaging device;

[0028] Step S108: Obtain abnormal points on the infrared thermal imaging device and determine whether the location of the abnormal points matches the treatment area in the treatment prescription.

[0029] In most cases, infrared imaging equipment can be used to detect points of inflammation. Inflammation points are generally at higher temperatures, and therefore, these points with high or low temperatures can be seen on the infrared thermal image. In this embodiment, points with abrupt changes in temperature can also be considered as anomalies.

[0030] In this embodiment, a method is proposed to detect points with low temperature in infrared thermal imaging as symptom points. This is because, in the case of limb pain, it may be due to local damage to the human soft tissue (muscles / tendons, etc.) leading to limb movement disorders. The activity of cells in this area decreases, and the decreased activity will cause the temperature of this point to be lower than that of normal areas.

[0031] If the treatment prescription includes a first measure to treat blocked meridians, then the area to be treated corresponding to the first measure is obtained, and it is determined whether the area corresponding to the first measure matches the abnormal point in the infrared thermal image where the temperature is lower than other parts of the patient.

[0032] If the treatment prescription includes a second measure to treat inflammation, the site to be treated corresponding to the second measure is obtained, and it is determined whether the site corresponding to the second measure matches the abnormal point in the infrared thermal imaging image where the temperature is higher than other parts of the patient.

[0033] In the above embodiments, the abnormal points are all points with abnormal temperatures. As an optional implementation method, the acupoints on the human body where the abnormal temperature points are located can also be obtained. Then, based on the acupoint treatment relationship built into the medical service platform, the points where the acupoints associated with the acupoints corresponding to the abnormal temperature points are located are also considered as abnormal points and compared with the treatment prescription. These associated acupoints are the acupoints that need to be treated when treating the diseases on the acupoints corresponding to the abnormal temperature points.

[0034] With optional implementation methods, the corresponding abnormal points in the infrared thermal imaging image can be compared according to the type of treatment prescription, thereby achieving more accurate judgment and comparison.

[0035] Step S110: If the conditions are met, determine that the treatment prescription is an available treatment prescription.

[0036] The above steps solve the problem of the lack of verification of treatment prescriptions when using assistive devices to treat limb pain in existing technologies. This objectively verifies the affected area in the treatment prescription and improves its effectiveness.

[0037] In an optional implementation, if there is a discrepancy, the lesion site to be treated and the location of the abnormal point in the treatment prescription can be displayed. After display, a confirmation command or a command to adjust the part to be treated in the treatment prescription is received, wherein the confirmation command is used to confirm that the site to be treated in the treatment prescription is correct. After receiving the confirmation command, the treatment prescription is determined to be usable. After receiving the adjustment command, the lesion site to be treated in the treatment prescription is adjusted according to the adjustment command; the adjusted treatment prescription is determined to be usable.

[0038] As an additional implementation, in the event of a discrepancy, after receiving a confirmation command, the level of the doctor who adjusted the treatment prescription on the medical business platform is obtained, and then another doctor with a higher level is obtained; the lesion site to be treated in the treatment prescription and the abnormal points on the infrared imaging device are sent to the other doctor, and after receiving confirmation from the other doctor, the treatment prescription is determined to be an available treatment prescription.

[0039] This optional implementation allows for confirmation by a senior physician in case of discrepancies, ensuring the safety of the treatment prescription.
