Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of health management and medical assistance technology, and in particular to an improvement in an insulin injection management system for diabetic patients. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent chronic metabolic disease worldwide, and insulin injection is an important treatment for many patients, especially those in the middle and late stages of type II diabetes. Insulin requires long-term, regular, and quantitative injections, and injection sites should be rotated appropriately; otherwise, tissue damage at the injection site can easily occur.

[0003] Repeated insulin injections at the same site over a long period can easily cause pathological changes in the local subcutaneous tissue, such as fat hyperplasia, subcutaneous induration, and nodule formation. These changes not only lead to a reduced or unstable absorption rate of insulin at that site, but may also create an insulin "dead zone," significantly affecting blood sugar control and even causing alternating fluctuations in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, increasing the risk of complications.

[0004] Furthermore, elderly diabetic patients, in particular, often have difficulty accurately remembering the daily injection site, time, number of injections, and specific dosage due to factors such as cognitive decline, memory loss, and weakened vision and hearing. This not only easily leads to missed injections, incorrect injections, or repeated injections, but also increases the difficulty of remote management by family members and medical staff, affecting patient treatment adherence and safety.

[0005] Currently, there is a lack of a visual, digital, and age-friendly insulin injection management tool on the market. Existing paper rotation sheets and manual recording methods are neither intelligent nor convenient, and cannot meet the needs for standardized, long-term, stable, safe, and efficient injection practices. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an intelligent insulin injection reminder system that integrates multiple functions such as time reminders, area diagrams, dosage settings, and interactive recording to assist patients in safe injections and scientific rotation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a mobile app-based insulin injection reminder system. This system features comprehensive functions such as abdominal area illustration, injection time reminder, dosage setting, daily site rotation reminder, injection completion marker, historical records, and adaptation for the elderly. It aims to resolve various operational risks for patients, especially elderly patients, during injection due to memory decline or misunderstanding.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes an injection location area graphic guidance module, an injection time reminder module, an injection dosage reminder module, an injection completion confirmation module, an injection history management module, and a user multi-reminder interaction module; the injection location area graphic guidance module constructs an injection area diagram centered on the user's abdomen and navel, and combines it with a calendar rotation mechanism to achieve visual guidance.

[0008] The injection area diagram is constructed with the navel as the center, forming a fan-shaped or quadrant area, divided into multiple zones. It can be prepared for users who inject once a day or twice a day. The system uses SVG or Canvas graphics components to draw the diagram, automatically adapts to the screen, and displays it directly on the user interface. The current user interface also includes the current time, today's injection status, and today's injection dosage. The fan-shaped quadrant areas highlight the area for the day, and the background color of each area is displayed separately, including those that have been injected and those that have not.

[0009] The injection time reminder module allows users to set daily injection times; the system calls the local system alarm clock service and background timer to trigger notification pop-ups; notification reminder formats include: in-app pop-ups, vibration, ringtone, and voice broadcast; this module is used to remind users to complete their daily injection tasks at the set time.

[0010] The injection time reminder module uses a time event polling mechanism or a platform push scheduler to trigger a "reminder event" and display the current injection area and dosage.

[0011] The injection dosage reminder module allows users to configure injection dosages for different time periods each day, with the system providing the dosage value during reminders. Specifically, the injection dosage is linked to the time, and the dosage is displayed simultaneously on the injection prompt interface and in the voice broadcast. Users can customize, save, and modify different dosage settings.

[0012] When the injection dosage reminder module triggers a reminder event, it calls the dosage record in the database that matches the current time and dynamically fills it into the interface and voice text for the current interface display.

[0013] The injection completion confirmation module allows users to confirm the injection upon completion. The system records and displays all injections for the day, preventing users with memory decline from needing repeated injections. The system provides an "Injected" button; selecting this button changes the color of the injection area for the day to the "Injected" color. Simultaneously, an injection record is generated, including time, dosage, and area information. Specifically, the system binds to a user click event, triggering a color change in the area map and writing the data to a local or cloud-based injection log table.

[0014] The injection history management module tracks the user's injection history and supports functions such as viewing, exporting, and synchronizing; injection records are indexed by date and can be presented in charts or lists.

[0015] The user-multiple reminder interaction module provides multiple reminder mechanisms and age-friendly interface optimizations to meet the needs of patients with declining vision and hearing, cognitive impairment, and memory decline (especially the elderly). It simultaneously uses multiple feedback channels such as text prompts, graphic highlighting, vibration, and voice broadcasting; supports font enlargement, button centering, and graphic simplification; and offers a simplified mode that retains only the core process of injection task reminders. Specifically, it uses a text-to-speech (TTS) engine to broadcast real-time messages such as: "It is 7:00 AM now, please inject 16 units of insulin into the lower right abdomen." Tactile response: long press or swipe to confirm injection to avoid accidental operation.

[0016] The working principle of this invention is as follows: It utilizes six functional modules working in tandem to construct a closed-loop management process for injection task prompts, guidance, recording, and feedback. Users first set the daily injection time and dosage in the app and activate the graphical area guidance mechanism. The system divides the abdominal injection area centered on the navel and automatically maps it to the area to be injected that day based on the current date.

[0017] When the injection time arrives, the system reminds the user via alarm clock, pop-up window, voice, etc., while highlighting the injection area for that day on the interface and displaying the required dosage information. After the user completes the injection as prompted, they click the "Injected" button. The system then changes the color of that area to green and generates an injection record (including time, dosage, area, etc.), which is stored locally or synchronized to the cloud.

[0018] Throughout the process, users do not need to memorize abstract content. They receive guidance information through multiple channels, including sight, hearing, and touch, making it particularly suitable for the operating habits of elderly users. Historical data can be reviewed at any time, facilitating user self-checks or remote assessment of medication adherence by doctors. The system uses intelligent algorithms for daily cycles, precise positioning, and personalized reminders to ensure safe, regular, and complete injections.

[0019] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] This system enables graphical management and scientific rotation of injection sites, preventing subcutaneous lesions caused by repeated injections; it provides precise prompts for injection time, frequency, and dosage, effectively reducing misoperation and missed needles; an injection completion confirmation mechanism ensures patients follow the injection plan and create a closed-loop record; it supports data visualization management and remote doctor assessment, improving patient treatment adherence and information literacy; it is specially optimized for elderly users, providing user-friendly designs such as enlarged fonts, voice prompts, and simple buttons, enhancing usability for elderly diabetic patients; the system has a complete structure, clear algorithms, and stable operation, making it suitable for widespread application in home management and chronic disease follow-up systems.
