Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of computer technology applied to medical information management, specifically to a gamified method and system for processing peritoneal dialysis patient data. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) typically require renal replacement therapy, with peritoneal dialysis (PD) being a crucial treatment option. The success of this treatment largely depends on long-term, consistent self-management by the patient in their daily life, including strict adherence to aseptic techniques, implementation of complex dietary controls (such as low-potassium, low-phosphorus, and high-quality, low-protein diets), continuous monitoring of fluid balance, and regular medical checkups. However, the daily management of peritoneal dialysis patients currently faces several significant challenges: 1. Patients face a high cognitive burden. They need to memorize and understand a large amount of professional medical knowledge and operational details, which can easily lead to anxiety, fear, and resistance, thus affecting the initiation and maintenance of treatment.

[0003] 2. Patient treatment adherence is generally poor. Traditional forms of health education and management are often monotonous and dull, making it difficult to maintain patients' attention. Patients are prone to abandoning or relaxing self-management midway due to fatigue from long-term treatment and social avoidance tendencies, which significantly increases the risk of complications.

[0004] 3. Existing management plans lack sufficient personalization. Clinical guidance is mostly general and static, failing to accurately match and adjust to the patient's real-time dynamic physiological indicators (such as serum potassium, serum phosphorus, and albumin levels), resulting in insufficient targeting and effectiveness of management measures.

[0005] 4. Patient support systems are relatively weak. During the long treatment process, patients often feel lonely and helpless, lacking continuous, effective, and diverse positive encouragement, as well as community support from medical staff, family members, and peers, resulting in insufficient confidence and motivation to persist with treatment in the long term.

[0006] Currently, existing solutions mostly consist of static paper-based educational manuals, simple mobile application reminders, or fragmented online consultations. These methods are isolated and fail to systematically integrate medical knowledge, patient psychology, behavioral incentives, and personalized data. Therefore, they cannot fundamentally build a sustainable, interactive, and precise patient management framework. Thus, an innovative technological solution is urgently needed to systematically address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a gamified method for processing peritoneal dialysis patient data. This method transforms the treatment process into phased gamified tasks and combines real-time physiological data with a multi-role collaborative mechanism to reduce patients' cognitive burden, improve treatment adherence, achieve personalized dynamic management, and build a sustainable social support system.

[0008] The second objective of this invention is to provide a gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data processing system, which transforms the treatment process into phased gamified tasks and combines real-time physiological data with a multi-role collaboration mechanism to reduce patients' cognitive burden, improve treatment compliance, achieve personalized dynamic management, and build a sustainable social support system.

[0009] To achieve one of the objectives of this invention, the following solution is adopted: A gamified approach to peritoneal dialysis patient data processing includes the following steps: S1: Enter the patient's initial medical data, and divide the patient into corresponding initial treatment stages based on the initial medical data; S2: Based on the initial treatment checkpoint, the patient's real-time physiological indicators, and the preset medical knowledge base, generate and push personalized intervention tasks to the patient's terminal; at the same time, generate family support tasks associated with the personalized intervention tasks and push them to the designated family terminal. S3: Receive task execution feedback information from the patient terminal, and update the patient's behavioral data based on the task execution feedback information; S4: Obtain updated physiological indicators of the patient; S5: Based on the updated patient behavior data and the preset level advancement conditions, determine whether to unlock the patient to the next treatment level; and based on the updated patient behavior data and / or the updated physiological indicators, grant the patient the corresponding virtual achievement according to the preset achievement rules. S6: Based on the updated physiological indicators, dynamically adjust the content of the personalized intervention tasks subsequently pushed to the patient.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S2, generating a personalized intervention task specifically includes: Identify the patient's health risk type based on the real-time physiological indicators; Retrieve the list of restricted foods from the diet rule base that match the stated health risk type; Based on the patient's required nutritional intake standards, a personalized daily diet plan is generated from the limited food list, and the execution of the plan is pushed to the patient's terminal as a task.

[0011] Furthermore, the gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data processing method also includes the steps of: receiving support task confirmation feedback from the family terminal and associating the confirmation information with the corresponding patient's task completion record.

[0012] Furthermore, the virtual achievements granted in step S5 include at least one of virtual badges, points, or level identifiers.

[0013] Furthermore, the treatment checkpoints are pre-divided into multiple sequentially progressive stages, each stage being associated with preset core treatment goals, task sets, and psychological support strategies.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S6, if the updated physiological indicators are better than the preset target, a corresponding achievement is generated and the relevant task restrictions are relaxed; if the indicators deteriorate, a warning message is generated and pushed to the medical terminal, and a reinforcement education task is generated for the patient.

[0015] Furthermore, the personalized intervention tasks pushed to the patient's terminal are visualized in the interactive interface in the form of a challenge map.

[0016] Furthermore, the gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data processing method also includes the steps of: receiving manual confirmation instructions for level progression or treatment plan adjustment instructions from medical terminals, and updating the patient's level status or subsequent task content based on the instructions.

[0017] Furthermore, the family support tasks include at least one of the following: reminder and supervision tasks, emotional encouragement tasks, or tasks for learning medical knowledge together.

[0018] To achieve the second objective of this invention, the following solution is adopted: A gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data management system includes: The initialization module is used to input the patient's initial medical data and, based on the initial medical data, to divide the patient into corresponding initial treatment stages; The task generation and push module is used to generate and push personalized intervention tasks to the patient's terminal based on the initial treatment level, the patient's real-time physiological indicators and a preset medical knowledge base; at the same time, it generates family support tasks associated with the personalized intervention tasks and pushes them to the designated family terminal. The feedback processing module is used to receive task execution feedback information from the patient terminal and update the patient's behavioral data based on the feedback information. The data acquisition module is used to obtain the patient's updated physiological indicators; The incentive and advancement judgment module is used to determine whether to unlock the patient to the next treatment level based on the updated patient's behavioral data and the preset level advancement conditions; and to grant the patient corresponding virtual achievements based on the updated patient's behavioral data and / or the updated physiological indicators, according to the preset achievement rules. The dynamic adjustment module is used to dynamically adjust the content of the personalized intervention tasks subsequently pushed to the patient based on the updated physiological indicators.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention achieves methodological innovation in patient lifecycle management. It systematically applies gamification theory to the lifecycle management of peritoneal dialysis patients, breaking down the overall treatment process into progressive "treatment levels" and specific tasks. This transforms complex professional knowledge and daily operations into a continuous, participatory process with clear goals and phased feedback. This significantly enhances patients' sense of involvement and motivation to persist, substantially reduces their cognitive load and psychological stress, and effectively improves their initiative and adherence to long-term treatment.

[0020] 2. This invention achieves an innovative fusion of static medical knowledge and dynamic patient data. Through an algorithm engine, it combines static medical knowledge with dynamic patient data, fundamentally transforming health management from static, general recommendations to truly personalized and dynamic management. The system can generate and adaptively adjust personalized intervention tasks in real time based on the patient's latest health status, significantly enhancing the accuracy, timeliness, and adaptability of health interventions.

[0021] 3. This invention constructs an innovative system architecture for multi-role collaboration within a "support team." This invention clarifies the multi-role collaboration mechanism of the "support team," integrating family members, medical staff, and patients into a closed-loop management system, thereby transforming "one-way guidance" into "multi-way interaction." This architecture not only strengthens the patient's social support system but also improves the collaborative efficiency and resilience of health management.

[0022] 4. This invention brings a user experience innovation that transforms anxiety treatment into a positive experience. It transforms the anxiety-inducing treatment process into a challenge-based experience full of positive feedback, turning passive treatment into active learning through integrated level progression and virtual achievement rewards. This shift significantly reduces patients' psychological burden, improves their quality of life and treatment adherence, and establishes a behavioral foundation for the stability and improvement of long-term treatment outcomes.

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a gamified method for processing peritoneal dialysis patient data, including the following steps: S1: Enter the patient's initial medical data, and assign corresponding initial treatment levels to the patient based on the initial medical data.

[0026] In this embodiment, medical staff enter the patient's basic information and initial test data in the system background; the system automatically assigns the patient to the corresponding initial treatment stage according to preset rules.

[0027] S2: Based on the initial treatment checkpoint, the patient's real-time physiological indicators, and the preset medical knowledge base, generate and push personalized intervention tasks to the patient's terminal; at the same time, generate family support tasks associated with the personalized intervention tasks and push them to the designated family terminal.

[0028] In this embodiment, the system identifies the patient's current health risks (such as hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia) based on a preset rule base; then it calls the dietary rule base to find the intersection of the restricted food lists corresponding to the risks; and then, combined with the patient's individual protein and energy requirements, it automatically generates a personalized daily diet plan and pushes the execution of the plan as a task to the patient's terminal; at the same time, it pushes the associated support tasks to the designated family member's terminal.

[0029] S3: Receive task execution feedback information from the patient terminal, and update the patient's behavior data based on the task execution feedback information.

[0030] In this embodiment, the patient views the task through the patient-side App and clicks "Complete" to provide feedback after the task is completed; family members can also confirm and provide feedback through the family-side App after completing the support task.

[0031] S4: Obtain updated physiological indicators for patients.

[0032] S5: Based on the updated patient behavior data and the preset level advancement conditions, determine whether to unlock the patient to the next treatment level; and based on the updated patient behavior data and / or the updated physiological indicators, grant the patient the corresponding virtual achievement according to the preset achievement rules.

[0033] In this embodiment, after the patient completes a series of tasks in a certain level in sequence, the system awards corresponding virtual achievements (such as medals) according to preset rules; at the same time, it automatically determines and unlocks the next treatment level.

[0034] S6: Based on the updated physiological indicators, dynamically adjust the content of the personalized intervention tasks subsequently pushed to the patient.

[0035] In this embodiment, the management strategy is dynamically adjusted based on the patient's regularly updated physiological indicators: if the indicators meet the standards, corresponding achievements are generated and awarded, and the relevant task restrictions can be appropriately relaxed; if the indicators are abnormal or deteriorate, an alarm is triggered to notify medical staff, and targeted reinforcement education tasks are automatically generated for the patient.

[0036] Furthermore, in step S2, generating a personalized intervention task specifically includes: Identify the patient's health risk type based on the real-time physiological indicators; Retrieve the list of restricted foods from the diet rule base that match the stated health risk type; Based on the patient's required nutritional intake standards, a personalized daily diet plan is generated from the limited food list, and the execution of the plan is pushed to the patient's terminal as a task.

[0037] Furthermore, the gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data processing method also includes the steps of: receiving support task confirmation feedback from the family terminal and associating the confirmation information with the corresponding patient's task completion record.

[0038] Furthermore, the virtual achievements granted in step S5 include at least one of virtual badges, points, or level identifiers.

[0039] Furthermore, the treatment checkpoints are pre-divided into multiple sequentially progressive stages, each stage being associated with preset core treatment goals, task sets, and psychological support strategies.

[0040] Furthermore, in step S6, if the updated physiological indicators are better than the preset target, a corresponding achievement is generated and the relevant task restrictions are relaxed; if the indicators deteriorate, a warning message is generated and pushed to the medical terminal, and a reinforcement education task is generated for the patient.

[0041] Furthermore, the personalized intervention tasks pushed to the patient's terminal are visualized in the interactive interface in the form of a challenge map.

[0042] Furthermore, the gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data processing method also includes the steps of: receiving manual confirmation instructions for level progression or treatment plan adjustment instructions from medical terminals, and updating the patient's level status or subsequent task content based on the instructions.

[0043] Furthermore, the family support tasks include at least one of the following: reminder and supervision tasks, emotional encouragement tasks, or tasks for learning medical knowledge together.

[0044] The following example uses a newly enrolled peritoneal dialysis patient with abnormal physiological indicators.

[0045] 1. Initialization and Level Setting: Medical staff enter the patient's basic information and initial laboratory test data (such as blood potassium, blood phosphorus, etc.) in the system backend. The system automatically assigns the patient to the first treatment level (referred to as the "newbie village") according to preset rules.

[0046] 2. Personalized Task Generation: The system identifies health risks of "hyperkalemia" and "hyperphosphatemia" in patients using a rule base. It then accesses the dietary rule base, taking the intersection of the "low-potassium food list" and "low-phosphorus food list," and combines this with the patient's daily protein and energy intake requirements to automatically generate a personalized daily diet plan. This plan is pushed to the patient's mobile app as a "Beginner's Diet Challenge" task. Simultaneously, the system generates corresponding supervision or assistance tasks and pushes them to family members' mobile devices.

[0047] 3. Task Execution and Feedback Collection: Patients view tasks through the App, make dietary arrangements according to recommendations, and submit execution feedback on the App upon completion. Family members can also confirm the completion status of assigned support tasks on their own devices.

[0048] 4. Achievement Award and Level Advancement: When a patient completes all the preset tasks in a level (such as "Preoperative Assessment", "First Dialysis Operation Training", etc.), the system will automatically award a "Newbie Graduation" virtual badge and unlock the second treatment level (called "Training Camp") according to the advancement conditions.

[0049] 5. Dynamic Adjustment and Continuous Management: After a period of treatment (e.g., one month), the system obtains the patient's updated physiological indicators. If serum potassium has dropped to the normal range, the system automatically generates a "serum potassium target achieved" achievement and accordingly relaxes the potassium restrictions in subsequent dietary tasks; if the indicators deteriorate, the system sends an alert to the medical staff's terminal and generates targeted reinforcement education tasks for the patient, thereby achieving data-driven dynamic personalized management.

[0050] Example 2 like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, embodiments of the present invention also provide a gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data management system, including: The initialization module is used to input the patient's initial medical data and, based on the initial medical data, to divide the patient into corresponding initial treatment stages; The task generation and push module is used to generate and push personalized intervention tasks to the patient's terminal based on the initial treatment level, the patient's real-time physiological indicators and a preset medical knowledge base; at the same time, it generates family support tasks associated with the personalized intervention tasks and pushes them to the designated family terminal. The feedback processing module is used to receive task execution feedback information from the patient terminal and update the patient's behavioral data based on the feedback information. The data acquisition module is used to obtain the patient's updated physiological indicators; The incentive and advancement judgment module is used to determine whether to unlock the patient to the next treatment level based on the updated patient's behavioral data and the preset level advancement conditions; and to grant the patient corresponding virtual achievements based on the updated patient's behavioral data and / or the updated physiological indicators, according to the preset achievement rules. The dynamic adjustment module is used to dynamically adjust the content of the personalized intervention tasks subsequently pushed to the patient based on the updated physiological indicators.

[0051] The following is a more detailed description of the gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] The gamified peritoneal dialysis patient data management system of this invention includes the following: 1. Patient Personal Database: Used to store patients' static information (such as name, age, medical history) and dynamic physiological indicators (such as creatinine, serum potassium, serum phosphorus, albumin, etc. at each follow-up examination); and to record patients' behavioral data, including task completion status, dialysis diary records, knowledge test scores, etc.

[0053] 2. Knowledge base and rule base: Medical knowledge base: Includes standard operating procedures for peritoneal dialysis, management of complications, and detailed dietary rules (such as a classification table of food purine, phosphorus, and potassium content).

[0054] Game rule library: Defines the gamification logic such as level advancement conditions, achievement conditions, and point reward rules.

[0055] 3. Gamification Core Engine: The stage division module is used to divide the treatment process into multiple core stages (e.g., Novice Village - Predialysis Preparation, Training Camp - Dialysis Initiation, Golden Period - Stable Treatment, Master Tournament - Long-Term Management). Each stage has preset duration, core treatment goals, common challenges, and psychological support needs.

[0056] Task generation and dispatch module: This module is used to transform medical instructions into specific game tasks. It calls the dietary rule library and combines it with the patient's real-time physiological data to automatically generate personalized tasks and push them to the patient.

[0057] Achievement and Rewards Module: A pre-set achievement system automatically awards corresponding virtual badges, points, or level upgrades to patients after they complete tasks, providing immediate positive feedback.

[0058] 4. Multi-terminal interactive interface: The patient's side is presented in the form of a "challenge manual", including a level map, a list of tasks to be done, an achievement badge wall, and a contact portal for the "support team".

[0059] Healthcare professionals: Allows doctors and nurses to view patient data, confirm level progression, and manually adjust treatment plans.

[0060] Family members: Family members can receive support tasks assigned by the system and participate in the collaborative management of patients.
