Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nutritional diagnosis and treatment devices, and more particularly to a clinical nutritional diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients. Background Art

[0002] Malnutrition not only reduces the effectiveness of tumor treatment, increases the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also may affect the quality of life of patients and shorten the survival time of tumor patients. Therefore, it is crucial to standardize the diagnostic methods and criteria for malnutrition in tumor patients. For patients with malignant tumors, nutritional support is an indispensable part of the tumor treatment process. Through reasonable dietary adjustments, nutritional supplements, and necessary nutritional support treatments, the nutritional status of patients can be improved, the treatment effect and quality of life can be enhanced. At the same time, medical staff and family members should also closely monitor the nutritional status of patients, promptly detect and handle possible malnutrition problems. Tumor patients should undergo three-level diagnosis: nutritional screening, nutritional assessment, and comprehensive evaluation. For patients with positive nutritional assessment (moderate to severe malnutrition), nutritional treatment should be implemented, namely nutritional education and artificial nutrition. For inpatients, artificial nutrition is highly accessible, but for an increasing number of outpatient and convalescent patients, it is difficult to implement nutritional assessment techniques at home, so it is very difficult for patients to implement and adhere to home nutritional treatment.

[0003] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to design a portable device for home nutritional assessment and treatment that is intelligent and easy to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects realized by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific drawings

[0018] For existing cancer patients during home care, it is difficult to conduct nutritional assessment and it is hard to ensure home nutritional treatment for cancer rehabilitation patients. Therefore, the present invention proposes a clinical nutritional diagnosis and treatment device for cancer patients. By analyzing the physiological data and eating data of cancer patients, it can obtain the current nutritional status and dietary situation of cancer patients, and prompt the required nutritional components and their required amounts. Specifically, the clinical nutritional diagnosis and treatment device for cancer patients can be presented in the form of terminal 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. This terminal 1 is similar to a mobile phone, tablet or computer. The functional units inside the terminal 1 are as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. It at least includes an information collection and input unit 2, an information processing unit 3 and a calibration unit 4. The information collection and input unit 2 is used to input the physiological data and eating data of cancer patients. The physiological data at least includes height, weight, age, type and severity of cancer diseases. The eating data mainly includes eating patterns and energy intake. The information processing unit 3 is mainly used to process the above input data. Specifically, the nutritional status of the current cancer patient can be judged through height, weight, age, type and severity of cancer diseases. The nutritional status in the present invention includes the nutritional risk status and the malnutrition level status of cancer patients. The specific process of the information processing unit 3 obtaining the nutritional risk status is as follows

[0019] First, the types of cancer diseases are divided into the following four situations One is that the disease shows no discomfort and the physiological condition and physiological functions are not damaged. This situation is marked as 0 points

[0020] Second, patients with chronic diseases are hospitalized due to complications. The patients are weak but do not need to stay in bed. The protein requirement increases slightly, but it can be compensated by oral supplements. This situation is marked as 1 point.

[0021] Third, the patient needs to stay in bed, such as after major abdominal surgery. The protein requirement increases accordingly, but most people can still recover through parenteral or enteral nutritional support. This situation is marked as 2 points.

[0022] Fourth, the patient is supported by mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. The protein requirement increases and cannot be compensated by parenteral or enteral nutritional support, but parenteral or enteral nutritional support can significantly reduce protein breakdown and nitrogen loss. This situation is marked as 3 points.

[0023] Secondly, classify the situation of impaired nutritional status; First, the food intake has always been in a normal state. This situation is marked as 0 points Second, the weight loss is 5% within 3 months or the food intake is 50% - 75% of the normal requirement. This situation is marked as 1 point.

[0024] Third, the weight loss is 5% within 2 months or the food intake in the previous week is 25% - 50% of the normal requirement. This situation is marked as 2 points.

[0025] Fourth, the weight loss is 5% within 1 month or the weight loss is 15% within 3 months, or the food intake in the previous week is 0% - 25% of the normal requirement. This situation is marked as 3 points.

[0026] Subsequently, classify the age of cancer patients; First, less than 70 years old. This situation is marked as 0 points.

[0027] Second, greater than or equal to 70 years old. This situation is marked as 1 point.

[0028] Adding the scores of the above cancer disease types, the scores of the impaired nutritional status, and the scores of the age classification can obtain the level of nutritional risk.

[0029] Among them, low risk: the score ≤ 3 points, indicating that the patient has no nutritional risk.

[0030] Medium risk: the score of 4 - 5 points indicates that the patient has mild nutritional risk.

[0031] High risk: the score > 5 points, indicating that the patient has severe nutritional risk.

[0032] The above process is the processing process for the information processing unit 3 to obtain the nutritional risk level.

[0033] The process for the information processing unit 3 to obtain the malnutrition level is as follows. It can utilize the existing BIM to measure the degree of body obesity, where BIM is the weight in kg divided by the square of the height in m.

[0034] Normal range: 18.5 - 23.9, indicating normal nutritional status.

[0035] Emaciation: BMI < 18.5, indicating malnutrition or emaciated state.

[0036] Obesity: BMI ≥ 28, indicating overnutrition or obese state.

[0037] For tumor patients, the current malnutrition level is the case where BIM is less than 18.5.

[0038] First-degree malnutrition: The weight is 15% - 20% lower than the standard weight, and BMI is generally lower than 18.5.

[0039] Second-degree malnutrition: The weight is 25% - 40% lower than the standard weight, and BMI is generally lower than 17.5.

[0040] Third-degree malnutrition: The weight is more than 40% lower than the standard weight, and BMI is generally lower than 16.0.

[0041] In order for tumor patients to recover better during the recovery period, the information processing unit 3 of the present invention also obtains the dietary situation of tumor patients through the analysis and processing of eating data. The process is as follows. This process analyzes the dietary situation of tumor patients by taking the energy intake as the eating data through the quantification of the diet pattern (including liquid diet, semi-liquid diet, and normal diet).

[0042] 1 point: Three meals of clear liquid diet, no meat, lack of oil. The energy intake is usually less than 300 kcal.

[0043] 2 points: Three meals of semi-liquid diet, no meat, lack of oil. The energy intake is between 300 - 600 kcal.

[0044] 3 points: One meal of normal diet, two meals of semi-liquid diet, basically no meat, less oil. The energy intake is between 600 - 900 kcal.

[0045] 4 points: Two meals of normal diet, one meal of semi-liquid diet, less meat, less oil. The energy intake is between 900 - 1200 kcal.

[0046] 5 points: Three meals of normal diet, sufficient staple food, meat, eggs, and oil. The energy intake is between 1200 - 1500 kcal.

[0047] In the above method, the lower the dietary situation score corresponding to the patient, the more attention is needed. If the score is higher, the nutritional status is better. Specifically, for patients with scores of 1 and 2, their dietary intake is relatively low, and their nutritional status may be poor. They need to actively seek the help of a dietitian in the clinical nutrition department to provide reasonable nutritional support and supplement the intake of energy and various nutrients. For patients with a score of 3, although they have a certain dietary intake, they still need to pay attention to the balance of nutrients and the adequacy of intake, and may need nutritional intervention when necessary. For patients with scores of 4 and 5, their dietary intake is relatively high, and their nutritional status may be good, but they still need to regularly conduct self-evaluation and nutritional assessment to ensure the adequacy and balance of nutritional intake.

[0048] This information processing unit 3 can also analyze and process the dietary situation of cancer patients in more detail by combining food types, nutrient intake, nutrient balance, and eating habits as eating data, specifically as follows.

[0049] I. Food diversity, with a full score of 20 points Grains: 5 points: Consume an appropriate amount of whole grains and refined grains daily, such as brown rice, oats, corn, white rice, white flour, etc.

[0050] Vegetables: 5 points: Consume a variety of colored vegetables daily, including dark green vegetables, dark red / orange vegetables, and other vegetables, at least reaching the recommended intake.

[0051] Fruits: 5 points: Consume a variety of fruits daily, including dark yellow fruits, citrus fruits, and other fruits, at least reaching the recommended intake.

[0052] Protein sources: 5 points: Consume an appropriate amount of meat daily, including livestock meat, poultry meat, fish and shrimp, etc., as well as beans, nuts, milk, and eggs, to ensure the diversity of protein sources.

[0053] II. Nutrient intake, with a full score of 40 points Energy: 10 points: According to factors such as the individual's age, gender, weight, height, and activity level, ensure that the daily energy intake is within a reasonable range.

[0054] Protein: 10 points: Ensure a high-quality and sufficient amount of protein intake daily to meet the body's protein needs.

[0055] Fat: 10 points: Control the total daily fat intake, especially the intake of saturated fat and trans fat, to ensure the healthiness of fat sources.

[0056] Carbohydrates: 10 points: Ensure that the daily carbohydrate intake mainly comes from foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole grains, tubers, and vegetables, and avoid excessive intake of refined sugar and processed foods.

[0057] III. Balance (Full score: 20 points) Ratio of Macronutrients (10 points): Ensure that the ratio of daily protein, fat, and carbohydrates intake is reasonable and meets the individual's nutritional needs.

[0058] Dietary Fiber Intake (5 points): Ensure sufficient daily intake of dietary fiber, which helps maintain intestinal health.

[0059] Water Intake (5 points): Ensure sufficient daily water intake to maintain the body's water balance.

[0060] IV. Others (Full score: 20 points) Eating Habits (20 points): Evaluate whether an individual's eating habits are healthy, such as whether they eat regularly and in appropriate amounts, whether they overeat or indulge in snacks, etc.

[0061] Add up the scores of the above items to get the total score. Based on the total score, the dietary quality can be divided into the following levels: Excellent: Total score ≥ 80 points, indicating that the individual's dietary quality is very high, with balanced nutrition and good health.

[0062] Good: 60 points ≤ Total score < 80 points, indicating that the individual's dietary quality is good, but there is still some room for improvement.

[0063] Average: 40 points ≤ Total score < 60 points, indicating that the individual's dietary quality is average and attention should be paid to improving nutritional intake.

[0064] Poor: Total score < 40 points, indicating that the individual's dietary quality is poor, with serious nutritional imbalance or health problems.

[0065] The calibration unit 4 of the clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients according to the present invention includes The above is the clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients provided by the present invention. It mainly inputs the physiological data and eating data of tumor patients through the information collection and input unit 2, and analyzes and processes the obtained physiological data and eating data through the information processing unit 3 to obtain the nutritional status (nutritional risk level, current malnutrition level) and dietary situation of tumor patients. The clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients of the present invention further includes a calibration unit 4. The calibration unit 4 prompts the required nutritional components and their required amounts for the current tumor patient based on the physiological data, eating data, nutritional status and dietary situation of the tumor patient. Specifically, for example, the calibration unit 4 judges the amount of nutritional components that a tumor patient should obtain in a normal state through the height and weight of the current tumor patient. Taking the nutritional components that a normal adult should obtain in a day as an example, the energy should be recommended between 1500 and 2000 kcal, 55 to 80 grams of protein should be ingested per day, the fat intake should be controlled at 60 to 70 grams, and the carbohydrate should be 150 to 300 grams, etc. The calibration unit 4 prompts the required nutritional components and their required amounts for lunch and dinner according to the types and amounts of foods ingested for breakfast to ensure normal nutritional supply for a day. This prompting method can also be carried out indirectly, such as by recommending home dietary recipes.

[0066] It should be further noted that referring to Figure 3 , the clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients described above is presented in the form of a terminal 1, and it should also include an information storage unit 5 inside. The information storage unit 5 is connected to the information collection and input unit 2 and the information processing unit 3, and is used to store the physiological data, eating data and nutritional status data of tumor patients, so that the information processing unit 3 can comprehensively judge the situation of tumor patients by combining the newly input data and the previously input data every day. For example, the analysis of the impaired nutritional status mentioned above requires obtaining data by long-term recording of weight and height.

[0067] Furthermore, the clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients also has a warning unit 6 inside, which is connected to the information processing unit 3 and is used to give a warning when the nutritional status of the tumor patient is poor (the specific warning method is not limited, such as highlighting the text display of poor nutritional status in red, or using a pop-up window to send warning content, etc.), and a wireless communication unit 7, which is connected to the information processing unit 3 and is used to realize wireless communication and data transmission with other terminals 1, as Figure 5 shown. Thus, professional nutritionists can remotely view various information of the tumor patient corresponding to the terminal 1 through another terminal, and send information that needs attention to the clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients.

[0068] Furthermore, it should be noted that the clinical nutrition diagnosis and treatment device for tumor patients also has an image processing unit 8 inside. The input end of the image processing unit 8 is connected to the output end of the information acquisition input unit 2 and is used to receive the image data output by the information acquisition input unit 2. The output end of the image processing unit 8 is connected to the input end of the information processing unit 3 and is used to receive the data processed by the image processing unit 8. The image processing unit 8 is used to process the image data in the eating data of tumor patients, convert the image data into energy intake data and output it to the information processing unit 3. That is, when inputting the eating data of tumor patients, it can be input in the form of pictures. For example, by inputting a picture of an egg, it is analyzed by the image processing unit 8, and the input picture information is compared with the picture information stored in the information storage unit 5 (the stored picture information and the nutrient content corresponding to each picture). And after comparison, it is judged that the eating data corresponding to the current egg picture is an egg, and its corresponding nutrient intake is 8g of protein, 6g of fat, etc. for each egg picture, so as to avoid frequent calculations when personnel count the nutrient intake, and the nutrient intake can be obtained by accumulating various food pictures.

[0069] Furthermore, the specific form of the information acquisition input unit 2 can be a touch display screen 101 and a camera 102 to meet the acquisition of text information data and picture information data. Among them, the touch display screen 101 is not only used for information entry, but also used to display a human-computer interaction interface for easy viewing of various data.

Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention.
