[0046] The scheme of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.

[0047] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system structures, interfaces, and technologies are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application.

[0048] The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship. In addition, "many" in this article means two or more than two.

[0049] As described in the background technology, traditional medical data management systems often directly record the patient's complete information during the data collection process, including facial features and other details that can identify an individual. Although this approach facilitates data collection and management, there is an obvious risk of privacy leakage during data sharing and long-term storage. For example, if the data is obtained by an unauthorized third party, the patient's identity may be identified, which in turn affects their personal life and social evaluation.

[0050] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a new medical data management solution. In the solution of the present application, the collected gait video of the patient is de-identified and stored. This method effectively prevents the patient's identity from being identified and leaking the patient's privacy, thereby affecting the patient's personal life and social evaluation.

[0051] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a medical data management system for acquiring and processing gait videos, the system comprising: a data acquisition module for acquiring gait videos of patients; a data transmission and storage module for transmitting and storing gait videos, and de-identifying the gait videos to obtain de-identified gait videos; wherein the data acquisition module is communicatively connected with the data transmission and storage module.

[0053] In order to visualize the processed gait video data for the target person to view, and to provide the user with an interactive interface with the medical data management system, according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application further includes: a data interaction module for displaying the de-identified gait video and receiving instructions input by the user, wherein the data interaction module is communicatively connected with the data transmission and storage module. The user can interact with the medical data management system of the present application in various ways such as voice.

[0054] It can be seen from the above embodiments that a data interaction module for interacting with users is set in the medical data management system of the present application, and users can intuitively view the medical data stored in the system and input corresponding instructions to obtain corresponding data, thereby improving user experience, enhancing data security and privacy protection, simplifying operating procedures, promoting doctor-patient communication, and improving work efficiency and data utilization efficiency.

[0055] In order to save the cost of collecting and storing data and further improve the security and availability of data, according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application further includes: a data cloud synchronization module, which is used to synchronize the gait video after the data transmission and storage module performs the renaming operation to the cloud for use by the target person, and receive data transmitted from the cloud, wherein the data cloud synchronization module is communicated with the data transmission and storage module and the cloud respectively. According to another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 4 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application includes: a data acquisition module, a data transmission and storage module, a data interaction module, and a data cloud synchronization module.

[0056] It can be seen from the above embodiments that a data cloud synchronization module is set in the medical data management system of the present application. This module realizes remote access and sharing of data by securely synchronizing gait videos to the cloud, thereby enhancing data accessibility, reliability and security, while simplifying data management and backup processes, and improving collaboration efficiency and resource utilization.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application further includes: a target tracking module, which is used to track the patient's position information so that the data acquisition module can collect the patient's gait video based on the patient's position information; wherein the target tracking module is in communication connection with the data acquisition module. According to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application includes: a target tracking module, a data acquisition module, a data transmission and storage module, and a data interaction module. According to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application includes: a data acquisition module, a data transmission and storage module, a data cloud synchronization module, and a target tracking module. According to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, the medical data management system of the present application also includes a target tracking module, a data acquisition module, a data transmission and storage module, a data interaction module, and a data cloud synchronization module.

[0058] It can be seen from the above embodiments that a target tracking module is set in the medical data management system of the present application. The target tracking module ensures the accurate collection of gait video by real-time tracking of the patient's location information, improves the reliability and integrity of the data, and optimizes the monitoring process, thereby enhancing the system's automation level and user experience.

[0059] In order to more clearly understand the functions performed by the data acquisition module, data transmission and storage module in the medical data management system of the present application, the data acquisition module, data transmission and storage module are described in detail below.

[0060] 1. Data acquisition module

[0061] The data acquisition module is used to collect the patient's gait video. According to one embodiment of the present application, the data acquisition module includes: a camera device, which is used to record the patient's gait video to obtain the patient's gait video, wherein the camera device is communicatively connected to the data transmission and storage module. According to one embodiment of the present application, the camera device is a smart phone or a camera. It should be noted that with the development of camera devices, the camera device of the present application can use other devices with better performance, which is not specifically limited here.

[0062] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, it shows a schematic diagram of using a camera to record the patient's gait video. Fig. 9 It can be seen from the figure that before recording, the video recording environment parameters need to be set. The video recording environment parameters include the position of the camera device and the starting point of the patient's movement, so that the screen information in the recording meets the following requirements: the patient's gait trajectory remains in the middle of the screen; the position of the patient's starting point is close to the center of the lower side of the screen (16:9 vertical screen placement), and the patient's head position is close to the center of the upper side of the screen when the patient is at the farthest end; if the camera device is in a high position, about one-third of the screen area is the ground area, and the ceiling area is less; if the camera device is in a low position, keep the camera device horizontal and ground position. As shown in Table 1, it is Fig. 9 Specify the location of the camera in the scene, the starting point of the patient's movement, and other information. H1 and H2 are the heights of the two cameras from the ground, D1 is the distance between the camera and the patient's starting point, and D2 is the distance between the patient's starting point and the end point. Fig. 9 The collection scenarios and settings of the parameters in the scenarios in Table 1 are only examples given in this application for understanding the work that needs to be completed by the data collection module of this application. The specific data collection scenarios and methods are not specifically limited.

[0063] Table 1

[0064] Setting parameters Parameter Value H1 1±0.1(m) H2 2.5±0.1(m) D1 2±0.1(m) D2 4±0.1(m) Theta1 (angle between the camera and the vertical plane) 30±2(degrees)

[0065] It can be seen from the above embodiments that by recording the patient's gait movement according to the corresponding environmental parameters preset in the actual application scenario, the gait movement information of the patient in the obtained gait video is more complete and clear.

[0066] 2. Data transmission and storage module

[0067] The data transmission and storage module is used to transmit and store the gait video, and to perform de-identification processing on the gait video to obtain the de-identified gait video.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present application, the data transmission and storage module is configured to perform a renaming operation on the de-identified gait video so that the gait video has a unique identifier. Fig.10As shown, the data transmission and storage module includes a data transmission submodule and a central database, wherein: the data transmission submodule is configured to transmit the gait video to the central database; the central database is configured to receive and store the gait video from the data transmission submodule, and de-identify the gait video to obtain the de-identified gait video, and perform a renaming operation on the de-identified gait video so that the gait video has a unique identifier, wherein the data transmission submodule is communicated with the data acquisition module and the central database respectively. According to one embodiment of the present application, the central database is configured to blur, block, or directly delete the specified features on the face and / or body of the patient in the gait video to obtain the de-identified gait video.

[0069] The workflow of the data transmission submodule and the central database is as follows: the data transmission submodule is responsible for transferring and storing the data collected by the data acquisition module to the data processing terminal, that is, transmitting the patient's gait video data from the camera device to the central database, which has video preprocessing capabilities and long-term storage capabilities, wherein data transmission can be carried out through a network connection or a physical storage medium (such as a hard disk, SSD, etc.); the central database renames the gait video and performs de-identification processing to protect the privacy and security of the patient. The de-identified table corresponding to the user information can be continuously edited to encrypt the subject's personal information and enhance privacy protection. For the convenience of management and retrieval, the central database can rename the recorded video data. Among them, the naming rules can be based on the patient's identity information, recording time and other relevant information to ensure that each video has a unique identifier. Example: For patient John Doe, a video recorded at 3 pm on April 15, 2024 can be renamed "1 (number)_20240415 (date)_1500 (time)_L (camera high and low position)". It should be noted that the above-mentioned renaming method is only an example used in this application to facilitate the understanding of the renaming operation. The renaming method of this application can be in various forms and is not specifically limited here.

[0070] It can be seen from the above embodiments that renaming the collected gait video can facilitate data management and retrieval; blurring, blocking, or directly deleting the specified features on the patient's face and / or body in the gait video can protect the patient's privacy.

[0071] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present application, Fig.11 As shown, the present application provides an electronic device, which is configured with the medical data management system of any of the above embodiments to obtain and process the patient's gait video.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present application, Fig.12 As shown, the present application provides a robot, which is configured with the medical data management system of any of the above embodiments to obtain and process the patient's gait video. According to one embodiment of the present application, the robot is configured to: during the patient's walking process, based on the patient's position information obtained by the target tracking module, perform relative movement with the patient according to a preset distance parameter to collect the patient's gait video.

[0073] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the robot can adjust its position according to the real-time position of the patient to ensure that the collected gait video is always at the best viewing angle. This helps to more accurately capture more comprehensive and precise gait data of the patient, providing high-quality data support for subsequent analysis.

[0074] According to another embodiment of the present application, the robot of the present application is also configured to: during the patient's walking process, adjust the posture of the camera device based on the acquired environmental parameters to record the patient's gait video to obtain the patient's gait video.

[0075] It can be seen from the above embodiments that dynamically adjusting the posture of the camera device can ensure that the video always remains clear and stable, and high-quality image data can be obtained even in complex environments. At the same time, when the patient walks under different conditions (such as uphill and downhill, turning), adjusting the angle of the camera can help capture more dimensional information, thereby obtaining more complete and realistic gait data.

[0076] It should be noted that the form of electronic equipment is not affected by Fig.12 The robot's shape and the configuration of its modules are not limited. Fig.12 The specific setting method depends on the nature of the task and actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.

[0077] To summarize, compared with the existing medical equipment management systems that directly record the patient's complete information, including facial features and other details that can identify personal identity, during the data collection process, the medical equipment management system of the present application first de-identifies the collected patient's gait video to ensure the availability of the processed data while maximizing the protection of the patient's privacy and security; secondly, the system of the present application provides an interface for interacting with the user (i.e., a data interaction module), which facilitates the reading and use of data; then, the medical data management system of the present application provides an interface for data synchronization with the cloud (i.e., a data cloud synchronization module), which improves the security and availability of the data collected by the system; finally, the medical data management system of the present application provides a module for tracking the patient's position, so as to improve the intuitiveness and visibility of the patient's gait characteristics in the gait video, so as to facilitate the doctor to analyze the patient's gait characteristics more clearly. At the same time, dynamic tracking of the patient's position can obtain a more stable and anti-shake gait video.

[0078] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.

[0079] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in the above method of specific implementation, the order in which the steps are written does not imply a strict execution order and does not constitute any limitation on the implementation process. The specific execution order of the steps should be determined by their functions and possible internal logic.
