Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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:

[0017] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for determining whether the operation of a therapeutic device is standard, according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] 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.

[0020] This embodiment provides a method for determining whether the operation of a therapeutic device is standard. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for determining whether the operation of a therapeutic device is standard, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0021] Step S102: Obtain the user's operation on the therapeutic device and record the operation information corresponding to the operation performed by the user, wherein the operation information includes at least one of the following: the user's operation process, the parameter information configured by the user through the operation, and the parameter information is the basis for the output of physical energy by the therapeutic device;

[0022] The user in this step is the operator of the treatment device, who can be a doctor or other medical professional. In an optional implementation, the user can select the patient's condition to be treated. After the user selects the condition, the treatment device generates corresponding configuration information based on the condition. This configuration information includes the parameter information from the previous step. If the user does not adjust the parameter information, a log file may not be generated. If the user adjusts the parameter information, the following steps continue.

[0023] Step S104: When the operation starts the output of physical energy of the therapeutic device, record the first time of starting the output of physical energy and record the output of physical energy of the therapeutic device.

[0024] Step S106: After the therapeutic device stops outputting physical energy, record the second time at which the therapeutic device stops outputting physical energy;

[0025] Step S108: Generate a log file corresponding to this treatment process, and write at least the recorded operation information, the first time, the second time, and the output of physical energy by the treatment device into the log file;

[0026] Step S110: Compare the contents recorded in the log file with the operation standard, and determine whether the operation performed by the user conforms to the operation standard based on the comparison result, wherein the operation standard is predetermined.

[0027] For example, the parameter range for treating disease Z in the standard is [A, B]. The log file records the parameter C entered by the user during the treatment process. If C is within the parameter range, the operation meets the standard. If C is not within the parameter range [A, B], the user's operation does not meet the standard.

[0028] The standard may also include the steps the user takes to operate the treatment device. When making a comparison, the operation steps recorded in the log file need to be compared with the operation steps in the standard. If the operation steps are consistent, the operation standard is met; if the operation steps are inconsistent, the operation standard is not met.

[0029] The above steps record the entire process of the user's treatment, and this information is saved as a complete log file, providing data assurance for determining whether the user's actions meet the standards.

[0030] The method of saving log files takes into account the usage characteristics of the therapeutic device. Saving the log file each time it is used is beneficial for the reproduction and retrieval of problems. At this time, the user's operation information on the therapeutic device received after the therapeutic device stops outputting physical energy will be recorded in a new log file. Each log file records the information that needs to be recorded from the time the user starts operating the therapeutic device until the therapeutic device stops outputting physical energy.

[0031] To ensure that log files retain information reflecting the current operation, their naming can be standardized. For example, naming information can be obtained first, including at least one of the following: the identifier of the therapeutic device, the identifier of the user, or the information of the patient being treated. Then, the log file can be named according to this naming information and the time the therapeutic device was used. Finally, the named log file can be saved. This facilitates log file retrieval.

[0032] Log files can be stored locally on the treatment device or uploaded to a server, such as a log file storage server. Any server capable of storing log files can be called a log file storage server. Log files stored on the server can be statistically analyzed. For example, the system can count non-compliant operations for each treatment device within a predetermined time period, or the number of non-compliant operations corresponding to a specific condition. It can also analyze the percentage of compliant operations for each user. These statistical data can serve as a basis for subsequent user evaluation and adjustment of standards.

[0033] For example, the standard treatment for calf pain specifies a range of parameters for the predetermined physical energy [A, B]. However, log files stored on a server show that 60% of the parameters used in treating this calf pain exceed this range [A, B]. In this case, it's worth considering whether the parameter range in the standard needs adjustment.

[0034] As an optional implementation, log files can be generated only when user actions do not conform to standards, thus saving local storage space on the therapeutic device. Alternatively, all user actions can be logged, with each file tagged with whether it conforms to standards. At predetermined intervals, non-compliant log files are proactively sent to the server for storage, while compliant log files are deleted. This approach retains log files corresponding to problematic actions while conserving local storage space on the therapeutic device.

[0035] The log file can be used only by maintenance personnel; therefore, it can be encrypted before being saved. For example, the identifier of the treatment device, the first time, and the second time can be used as a character sequence; the character sequence can be hashed to obtain a hash value; and the hash value can be used to encrypt the log file.

[0036] To prevent log files from being tampered with, blockchain technology can be used to store them. The process involves: obtaining a first log file and using its hash value as the first verification code; obtaining a second log file, generating a hash value based on the second log file and the first verification code, and using this hash value as the second verification code; and so on, obtaining the Nth log file and generating a hash value based on the Nth log file as the Nth verification code, where N is a natural number greater than 1; and copying and storing all log files and verification codes on M devices, where M is a natural number greater than 1.

[0037] This implementation solves the problem of existing therapeutic devices being unable to pinpoint the cause of malfunctions, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of device maintenance.

[0038] The above method can be applied to various tools. As a typical tool, this tool can be a therapeutic pen, and the aforementioned host can be a therapeutic device.
