[0005] Furthermore, there is a growing demand for filling the gaps in healthcare and improving accessibility through self-diagnosis services, and as learning and experience become widespread due to COVID-19, there is a need for the ability to medically respond to emergency situations through self-diagnosis and easy management, and there is a demand for exploring technologies that can help improve access to healthcare for those in self-quarantine, office workers, housewives, and residents of medically vulnerable areas.

[0006] In addition, there is a growing demand to address regional healthcare imbalances and overcome healthcare inequality and provide healthcare services that transcend time and space, and there is a demand to explore technologies that can provide medical infrastructure in settings where medical support is urgently needed, overcome the accelerating concentration of healthcare workers in large cities, and create a service environment accessible to disabled and elderly people with limited mobility.

[0007] Furthermore, a metaverse has recently been highlighted as a representative service for providing a virtual world to users. A metaverse is a complex word from meta, referring to fiction and abstraction, and is a universe that relates to the real world and refers to a three-dimensional virtual world. The core technology of this metaverse is augmented reality (XR) technology, which includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).

[0008] As the demand for non-personal medical services that allow people to feel the same experience as visiting a hospital in a metaverse environment without visiting the hospital directly increases, research into related technology is therefore necessary.

[0023] The embodiments may be implemented as various types of products, such as personal computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, smartphones, televisions, smart home devices, smart cars, kiosks, and wearable devices.

[0024] Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of a system according to an embodiment.

[0025] With reference to Fig. 1, according to one embodiment, the system may include a measuring device 100, an output device 200, an operating device 300, and a device 400.

[0026] First, the measuring device 100 is a device that measures a patient's health status and can be electrically connected to the device 400. For example, the measuring device 100 can be provided as a blood pressure measuring device, a blood glucose measuring device, a blood flow measuring device, a heart rate measuring device, an electrocardiogram measuring device, a body fat measuring device, or the like.

[0027] That is, the measuring device 100 can be implemented as various types of measuring devices for measuring a patient's health status for non-personal diagnosis (i.e., non-face-to-face diagnosis), self-management, and healthcare. In this case, the measuring device 100 can be implemented as an integrated measuring device or can be implemented in a state where multiple measuring devices are connected to each other.

[0028] The output device 200 is a device that outputs a screen of a virtual space implemented as a metaverse environment and may be electrically connected to the device 400.

[0029] Here, the metaverse is a complex word consisting of meta, meaning processing and fiction, and universe, meaning a real world. It refers to a platform where individuals, implemented as characters or avatars in a three-dimensional virtual world on the Internet, can communicate with each other and perform real-world activities as they are. Such a metaverse environment may include an augmented reality (XR) device, which includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).

[0030] Virtual reality refers to a technology that uses a computer to create a virtual space that doesn't exist in the real world and then renders the virtual space to feel like reality. Augmented reality or mixed reality refers to a technology that adds information generated by a computer to the real world and expresses it, that is, a technology that enables real-time interaction with the user by combining the real world and the virtual world. The metaverse environment in the present invention can be implemented by any of a virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality environment.

[0031] The output device 200 is a device worn by the patient to output an image of a screen implemented as a metaverse environment. For example, it may be provided as a head-mounted display (HMD), which is a display device attached to the patient's head or eye portion and outputs VR / AR images directly in front of the patient's eyes. The head-mounted display is a type of wearable image output terminal that assists the patient in experiencing realistic images. A display may be primarily attached to the front of a helmet thereof to output images such as VR / AR images.

[0032] The output device 200 can track the patient's gaze through a head movement of the patient wearing the output device 200, and can process an image to be changed and displayed according to the patient's gaze movement through head tracking. That is, the output device 200 can process the image to be changed in the same direction as the patient's head movement by digitizing a rotation angle and a speed of the patient's head. For example, if the patient's head turns right, the image on the screen can be processed to move rightward, which is implemented as the metaverse environment, and the image can be processed to move itself leftward in the image of the screen implemented in the metaverse environment.

[0033] The operating device 300 is a device worn by the patient and generates an operating signal for a command according to the patient's manipulation and may be electrically connected to the device 400.

[0034] The operating device 300 is worn on the patient's hand to interact on a screen implemented as a metaverse environment and may be provided, for example, as VR / AR gloves that track the patient's movement, provide physical feedback, and provide feedback for tactile sensation.

[0035] The VR / AR gloves track the movements of a patient's finger, hand, and wrist and implement the motion images on the VR / AR, express the hardness of an object in the VR / AR by applying a tensile force of a preset amount to each finger, and express a touch through a vibration sensor installed on each finger. In the present invention, when the patient uses VR / AR gloves, an operation signal can be generated to interact in a metaverse-based non-personal medical service.

[0036] Device 400 may be a self-managed server owned by an individual or organization providing a service using device 400, may be a cloud server, or may be a peer-to-peer (P2P) set of distributed nodes. Device 400 may be configured to perform all or part of a computation function, a storage / reference function, an input / output function, and a control function of a typical computer.

[0037] The device 400 may be configured to communicate with the measuring device 100 in a wired or wireless manner, and may acquire measurement information generated by measuring the patient's health status from the measuring device 100 to determine the patient's health status and control the overall operation of the measuring device 100.

[0038] The device 400 may be configured to communicate with the output device 200 in a wired or wireless manner, may control what information should be displayed on the screen of the output device 200, and may control an overall operation of the output device 200.

[0039] The device 400 may be configured to communicate with the operating device 300 in a wired or wireless manner, and may detect an operating signal from the operating device 300 to detect patient manipulation and may control an overall operation of the operating device 300.

[0040] The device 400 may provide a metaverse-based healthcare platform to enable non-personal diagnosis and self-management in a metaverse-based environment.

[0041] In addition, the measuring device 100, the output device 200, and the operating device 300 may be provided in a diagnostic cabin. A detailed description regarding the diagnostic cabin will be given below with reference to Fig. 2 described.

[0042] Fig. 2 is a diagram for describing a diagnostic booth according to an embodiment.

[0043] First, the diagnostic booth is a device for providing diagnosis and health management in a non-personal environment to maximize the use of the metaverse health platform and may be configured to communicate with the device 400 in a wired or wireless manner.

[0044] As in (a) of Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the diagnostic booth can largely consist of a chair, an interior and an exterior.

[0045] The diagnostic booth chair can be configured to enable use of the Metaverse Healthcare Platform. The interior of the diagnostic booth can be configured to respond to infection using a negative pressure system, preventing air from remaining inside, and to allow spray sterilization and UV sterilization to be performed automatically for the next person. The exterior of the diagnostic booth is lightweight and easy to install, allowing it to be easily and quickly installed in a small space, and can be manufactured and configured for easy use at home.

[0046] As in (b) of Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the interior of the diagnostic booth may consist of equipment necessary for using the Metaverse healthcare platform, such as chairs and personal mobile equipment, industrial scales, negative pressure equipment, sensors, observation equipment, touch monitors, VR equipment, and the like.

[0047] As in (c) of Fig. 2, the diagnostic booth can be configured to be easily installed to fit into a non-personal environment in general medical facilities and homes.

[0048] The diagnostic booth can be optimized and configured to enable the use of the Metaverse healthcare platform.

[0049] As in (d) of Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the diagnostic booth can be equipped with a self-blood collection device, a blood collection aid, a needle-free syringe, an automatic blood collection device, a self-injector, an infectious disease self-test device, a self-vaccination syringe, a self-personal genetic test, a personal genetic disease analysis SW, a blood glucose meter, a height meter, a blood pressure meter, an input device for the visually impaired, an assistant, a body fat meter, etc., which can be installed as standard or as an option. The various devices installed in the diagnostic booth can be used as the measuring device 100.

[0050] Fig. 3 is a diagram for describing a metaverse healthcare platform according to one embodiment.

[0051] First, as in (a) of Fig. 3, a network may be configured in the diagnostic booth to enable 24-hour global healthcare service through the Metaverse Healthcare Platform. In this case, a function thereof may be limited according to the country and region where the diagnostic booth is installed.

[0052] As in (b) of Fig. 3, self-health management information, treatment information, genomic information, additional information related to health function, information acquired through solution collaboration, etc. can be collected through non-face-to-face or limited face-to-face meetings on the metaverse health platform and accumulated and utilized as big data, and thereby health care information analysis and the provision of various collaboration services can be possible.

[0053] As in (c) of Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the Metaverse Health Platform is an online system for facilitating transactions between companies related to all areas of health, without restrictions of time, space, and money.

[0054] The Metaverse Healthcare Platform configuration is divided into groups such as experts, businesses, consumers, etc. The expert group is a group that directly manages healthcare, such as doctors, professors, researchers, investors, etc. The entrepreneur group is a group that forms a healthcare market with devices, design, facilities, consulting, manufacturing, and sellers in all areas related to healthcare. The consumer group is a group of healthcare industry buyers, either the general public or patients, who participate in the platform with a demand for personalized healthcare services.

[0055] The business structure of the metaverse health platform can be divided into paid support services provided by various industrial, academic, research, and hospital services within the platform, main support services provided by a self-developed product of the company operating the platform, and free support services that provide communities and simple support services free of charge.

[0056] A company providing services using the device 400 may be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the metaverse health platform, and therapeutic drug developers (hospitals, research institutes, corporate research institutes), investors, device companies, design / device companies (including consulting), vendors (pharmaceutical companies), contract manufacturing organization (CMO) companies, patients (patients with hereditary or non-hereditary diseases), the general public (requiring regular check-ups or daily health management), etc., may participate in the platform so that the metaverse health platform can be operated.

[0057] Fig. 4 is a flowchart for describing a process for accessing a metaverse healthcare platform according to one embodiment.

[0058] With reference to Fig. 4, first, at step S401, the device 400 may set a state of the diagnostic booth to a waiting state and maintain the waiting state until a patient enters the diagnostic booth.

[0059] At step S402, the device 400 may check whether a first patient has entered the diagnostic booth. In this case, when the entrance door of the diagnostic booth is opened, the device 400 may check whether the first patient has entered the diagnostic booth and may also analyze image information obtained by photographing the interior of the diagnostic booth to verify that the first patient has entered the diagnostic booth.

[0060] If it is checked at step S402 that the first patient has not entered the diagnostic booth, the process returns to step S401 and the device 400 can continue to maintain the waiting state of the diagnostic booth.

[0061] If it is checked at step S402 that the first patient has entered the diagnostic booth, the device 400 may output a guidance message for instructing the measurement of the health status to the diagnostic booth at step S403. In this case, the device 400 may control the operation of a speaker installed in the diagnostic booth so that the guidance message for instructing the measurement of the health status is output through the speaker. Here, the guidance message for instructing the measurement of the health status may include a message for instructing the insertion, use, etc., of the measurement device 100 provided in the diagnostic booth and measuring the health status.

[0062] At step S404, the device 400 may check whether the first patient has measured the health status of the first patient by the measuring device 100. In this case, upon detecting a measurement start signal indicating that the measurement has started from the measuring device 100, the device 400 may check that the first patient is measuring the health status of the first patient by the measuring device 100.

[0063] If it is not checked at step S404 that the first patient has measured the health status of the first patient by the measuring device 100 after a preset time has elapsed, the process returns to step S403, and the device 400 may output a guidance message for instructing the measurement of the health status to the diagnosis booth again.

[0064] If it is checked at step S404 that the first patient has measured the health status of the first patient by the measurement device 100, the device 400 may acquire measurement information generated by measuring the health status of the first patient from the measurement device 100 at step S405. Here, the measurement information may be generated differently depending on a type of the measurement device 100.

[0065] For example, if the measuring device 100 is a blood pressure measuring device, the first patient may measure a blood pressure of the first patient through the measuring device 100, the measuring device 100 may measure the blood pressure of the first patient and generate measurement information indicative of the blood pressure of the first patient, and the device 400 may acquire the measurement information indicative of the blood pressure of the first patient from the measuring device 100.

[0066] At step S406, the device 400 may determine, based on the measurement information, whether non-personal treatment is required for the first patient. A detailed description of the contents of determining whether non-personal treatment is required will be given below with reference to Fig. 7 described.

[0067] If it is determined at step S406 that non-face-to-face treatment is not required for the first patient, the device 400 may output a guidance message instructing the patient to leave the diagnostic booth because there is no abnormality in the patient's health condition. In this case, the device 400 may control the operation of the loudspeaker installed in the diagnostic booth so that the guidance message for instructing the patient to leave the diagnostic booth is output through the loudspeaker.

[0068] If it is determined at step S406 that the non-personal treatment is required for the first patient, the device 400 may determine based on the measurement information at step S407 that non-personal treatment is required for a first treatment item for the first patient.

[0069] For example, if the blood pressure of the first patient is analyzed as high blood pressure by the measurement information, the device 400 may set a vascular medicine department responsible for the treatment of high blood pressure as the first treatment object and determine that the non-personal treatment for the vascular medicine department is required for the first patient.

[0070] At step S408, the device 400 may output a guidance message for instructing the carrying of the output device 200 to the diagnostic booth. In this case, the device 400 may control the operation of the speaker installed in the diagnostic booth so that the guidance message for instructing the carrying of the output device 200 is output through the speaker.

[0071] At step S409, the device 400 may check whether the first patient is wearing the dispensing device 200. In this case, if a detection signal is detected by a sensor attached to the dispensing device 200, the device 400 may check that the first patient is wearing the dispensing device 200.

[0072] If it is checked at step S409 that the first patient has not worn the dispensing device 200 after a preset time has elapsed, the process returns to step S408, and the device 400 may again output a guidance message for instructing the wearing of the dispensing device 200 to the diagnostic booth.

[0073] If it is verified at step S409 that the first patient is wearing the dispensing device 200, the device 400 may perform control such that a first list, which is a list of medical personnel responsible for the first treatment item, is displayed on the dispensing device 200 at step S410. That is, if it is verified that the first patient is wearing the dispensing device 200, the device 400 may perform control such that the first list is displayed on a medical personnel selection screen from which a medical personnel can be selected.

[0074] After step S409, step S501 may be performed, and a detailed description regarding it will be given below with reference to Fig. 5 described.

[0075] Fig. 5 is a flowchart for describing a process for providing a metaverse healthcare platform service for non-personal diagnosis and self-management according to an embodiment.

[0076] With reference to Fig. 5, first, at step S501, when a first patient is wearing the operating device 300, when the first medical person is selected from the first list by the operating device 300, the device 400 may acquire a first medical person selection signal from the operating device 300.

[0077] At step S502, when it is checked that the first medical person is selected from the first list displayed on a medical person selection screen by the first medical person selection signal, the device 400 may perform control so that a screen of a first virtual room corresponding to the treatment room of the first medical person is displayed on the output device 200.

[0078] For this purpose, each treatment room provided for each medical person is implemented as a metaverse environment, and the first virtual space may mean a virtual space in which the treatment room of the first medical person is implemented as a metaverse environment.

[0079] The device 400 may perform control such that the screen of the first virtual space is displayed on the output device 200 worn by the first patient to enable the first patient to access the first virtual space, and the first patient may feel the same experience as accessing the first virtual space through the screen of the first virtual space displayed on the output device 200.

[0080] At step S503, when a movement within the first virtual space is requested by the operating device 300, the device 400 may detect a movement request signal from the operating device 300.

[0081] At step S504, when it is checked that a movement within the first virtual space is requested by a movement request signal, the device 400 may perform control so that a point at which the first patient is located in the first virtual space is changed, and the screen of the first virtual space with the changed point is displayed as a center change on the output device.

[0082] For example, when the first patient walks into the first virtual space, the first patient may be located at a first point within the first virtual space, and the device 400 may perform control such that the screen of the first virtual space is displayed with the first point as a center on the output device 200.

[0083] Thereafter, when the first patient moves to a second point within the first virtual space due to the movement request within the first virtual space, the device 400 may perform control such that the screen of the first virtual space centered on the second point is displayed with the second point as a center on the output device 200.

[0084] In step S505, when it is checked that the first medical person goes into the first virtual space, the device 400 may perform control so that the measurement information is displayed on the first virtual space.

[0085] When the first patient goes into the first virtual space but the first medical person does not go into the first virtual space, the device 400 may transmit a notification message notifying that a patient is waiting in the first virtual space to the terminal of the first medical person to which an account of the first medical person is logged in, thereby causing the first medical person to go into the first virtual space.

[0086] In a state where the first patient wearing the output device 200 enters the first virtual space, when the first medical person wearing another output device 200 enters the first virtual space, the device 400 may check that the first patient and the first medical person have entered the first virtual space at the same time, perform control so that the figure or avatar of the first medical person is displayed on the output device 200 worn by the first patient, and perform control so that the figure or avatar of the first patient is displayed on the output device 200 of the output device 200 worn by the first medical person.

[0087] When the figure or avatar of the first patient is displayed on the output device 200 worn by the first medical person, the device 400 may perform control so that measurement information generated by measuring the health status of the first patient is displayed together with the figure or avatar of the first patient.

[0088] When the figure or avatar of the first medical person is displayed on the output device 200 worn by the first patient, the device 400 may additionally perform control so that the measurement information generated by measuring the health status of the first patient is displayed on the first virtual space.

[0089] In step S506, the device 400 may perform a control such that the non-personal treatment between the first patient and the first medical person is performed in the first virtual space. In this case, the device 400 may provide a service that allows the first patient and the first medical person to actually speak.

[0090] Specifically, when a voice of the first patient is input through a microphone installed in the output device 200 worn by the first patient, the device 400 may perform control such that the voice of the first patient is output through a speaker installed in the output device 200 worn by the first medical person, and when a voice of the first medical person is input through the microphone installed in the output device 200 worn by the first medical person, the device 400 may perform control such that the voice of the first medical person is output through the speaker installed in the output device 200 worn by the first patient, thereby providing a service,where the first patient and the first medical person can actually speak in the first virtual room.

[0091] Fig. 6 is a flowchart for describing a process for recommending a medical person to a patient according to one embodiment.

[0092] With reference to Fig. 6, first, at step S601, the device 400 may check treatment details of the first patient through medical information of the first patient. For this purpose, a database of the device 400 stores medical information classified for each patient, and the medical information may include information such as checkup details, diagnosis details, treatment details, examination details, prescription details, and cure details, etc.

[0093] That is, the device 400 can acquire the medical information of the first patient by querying the medical information stored in the database and can verify the treatment details of the first patient based on the first patient's medical information. Here, the treatment details include information about a treatment date, treatment content, a medical professional who performed the treatment, etc.

[0094] At step S602, based on the treatment details of the first patient, the device 400 may check whether there is a medical person who treated the first patient among the medical persons included in the first list. In this case, the device 400 may check the medical person who performed the treatment of the first patient in the treatment details of the first patient, compare the medical person who performed the treatment of the first patient with the first list, and check whether there is a medical person who treated the first patient among the medical persons included in the first list.

[0095] If it is checked at step S602 that there is a medical person who treated the first patient among the medical persons included in the first list, the device 400 may check at step S603 whether there is only one medical person who treated the first patient among the medical persons included in the first list.

[0096] If it is checked at step S603 that there is only one medical person who treated the first patient among the medical persons included in the first list, the device 400 may select a medical person who treated the first patient as a recommended medical person at step S604.

[0097] When it is checked at step S603 that there are two or more medical persons who have treated the first patient among the medical persons included in the first list, rather than only one medical person, the device 400 may select, at step S605, among medical persons who have treated the first patient, as a recommended medical person a medical person with the largest number of treatments, which is the number of treatments with which the first patient was treated.

[0098] If, at step S602, no medical person who treated the first patient is checked among the medical persons included in the first list, the device 400 may check at step S606 whether there is a medical person who is in a treatment waiting state among the medical persons included in the first list. Here, the treatment waiting state may refer to a state in which a medical person enters the treatment room implemented as a metaverse environment alone and is in a waiting state in which the medical person waits for a patient.

[0099] If it is checked at step S606 that there is a medical person who is in the treatment waiting state among the medical persons included in the first list, the device 400 may check at step S607 whether there is only one medical person who is in the treatment waiting state among the medical persons included in the first list.

[0100] When it is checked at step S607 that there is only one medical person who is in the treatment waiting state among the medical persons included in the first list, the device 400 may select the medical person who is in the treatment waiting state as a recommended medical person at step S608.

[0101] If it is checked at step S607 that there are two or more medical persons in the treatment waiting state among the medical persons included in the first list, rather than only one medical person, the device 400 may select a medical person with the longest waiting time among the medical persons in the treatment waiting state as a recommended medical person at step S609. That is, the device 400 may select the medical person who has maintained the longest treatment waiting state among the medical persons in the treatment waiting state as the recommended medical person.

[0102] When it is checked at step S606 that there is no medical person who is in the treatment waiting state among the medical persons included in the first list, the device 400 may select the medical person with the smallest number of reservations among the medical persons included in the first list as the recommended medical person.

[0103] When the recommended medical person is selected from the first list at step S611, the device 400 may perform control so that a guide mark for recommending the recommended medical person is displayed on the output device 200 so as to be overlapped with the first list.

[0104] For example, when the first medical person is selected from the first list as the recommended medical person, when the first list is displayed on the output device 200, the device 400 may perform control so that a guide mark in the form of an arrow for recommending the first medical person is displayed together with the first list on the output device 200.

[0105] Fig. 7 is a flowchart for describing a process for determining whether non-personal treatment is required, according to one embodiment.

[0106] With reference to Fig. 7, first, at step S701, the device 400 may check a first numerical value, which is a numerical value obtained by measuring the health condition of the first patient by the measurement device 100, based on measurement information.

[0107] For example, when the measurement device 100 is a heart rate measurement device, the device 400 may acquire measurement information indicating a heart rate of the first patient from the measurement device 100 and may check the first numerical value, which is a numerical value obtained by measuring the heart rate of the first patient, based on the measurement information.

[0108] At step S702, the device 400 may check whether the first numerical value is within a normal range. Here, the normal range may be set differently depending on the type of the measuring device 100. For example, if the first numerical value is a heart rate, the normal range may be set from 60 to 70.

[0109] If it is verified at step S702 that the first numerical value is within the normal range, the device 400 may determine at step S703 that the non-personal treatment is not required for the first patient.

[0110] If it is verified at step S702 that the first numerical value is outside the normal range, the device 400 may check at step S704 whether the first numerical value is within a warning range. Here, the warning range may be set differently depending on the type of the measuring device 100 and may be set to a range wider than the normal range. For example, if the first numerical value is the heart rate, the normal range may be set from 60 to 70, and the warning range may be set from 50 to 80.

[0111] If it is verified at step S704 that the first numerical value is within the warning range, the device 400 may determine at step S705 that a new measurement of the health status of the first patient is required.

[0112] Thereafter, the device 400 may check a 1-1 numerical value, which is a numerical value obtained by measuring the health status of the first patient again by the measuring device 100, and if it is checked that the 1-1 numerical value is out of the normal range and within the warning range, the device 400 may determine that the non-personal treatment is required for the first patient.

[0113] If it is verified at step S704 that the first numerical value is outside the warning range, the device 400 may determine at step S706 that the non-personal treatment is required for the first patient.

[0114] Fig. 8 is a flowchart for describing a process for determining whether non-personal treatment is required by examination details according to one embodiment.

[0115] With reference to Fig. 8, first, at step S801, the device 400 may check the examination details of the first patient through medical information of the first patient.

[0116] That is, the device 400 can acquire the medical information of the first patient by querying the medical information stored in the database and can check the examination details of the first patient in the first patient's medical information. Here, the examination details include information about an examination date, an examination result, and a measuring device that performed the examination.

[0117] At step S802, the device 400 may check whether there is a history of measuring the health status by the measuring device 100 based on the examination details of the first patient.

[0118] For example, if the measuring device 100 is a heart rate measuring device, the device 400 may check in the examination details of the first patient whether there is a history of measuring the heart rate by the heart rate measuring device.

[0119] If it is verified at step S802 that there is no history of measuring the health status by the measuring device 100, the device 400 may determine at step S806 that the non-personal treatment is required for the first patient.

[0120] That is, when the device 400 measures the health status by the measuring device 100, but it is verified that the first numerical value is outside the warning range, the device 400 may determine that the non-personal treatment is required for the first patient.

[0121] When it is checked at step S802 that there is the history of measuring the health condition by the measuring device 100, the device 400 may check at step S803 a second numerical value, which is a numerical value obtained by measuring the health condition of the first patient most recently by the measuring device 100, based on the examination details of the first patient.

[0122] That is, the device 400 may check the examination date of the last examination performed in the examination details of the first patient and check the examination result of the checked examination date as the second numerical value.

[0123] At step S804, the device 400 may compare the first numerical value and the second value to determine whether the health condition of the first patient has improved.

[0124] For example, when the first numerical value and the second numerical value are systolic blood pressures, if it is verified as a result of comparing the first numerical value and the second numerical value that the first numerical value is 140 mmHg and the second numerical value is 150 mmHg, the device 400 can determine that the health condition of the first patient has improved from the high blood pressure condition because the first numerical value, which is the current numerical measurement value, is lower than the second value, which is the past numerical measurement value.

[0125] Furthermore, when the first numerical value and the second numerical value are systolic blood pressures, if it is verified as a result of the comparison of the first numerical value and the second numerical value that the first numerical value is 150 mmHg and the second numerical value is 140 mmHg, the device 400 can determine that the health condition of the first patient in the high blood pressure state is deteriorating because the first numerical value, which is the current numerical measurement value, is higher than the second value, which is the past numerical measurement value.

[0126] Furthermore, when the first numerical value and the second numerical value are systolic blood pressures, if it is checked that the first numerical value is 70 mmHg and the second numerical value is 60 mmHg, the device 400 can determine that the health condition of the first patient has improved from the low blood pressure condition because the first numerical value, which is the current numerical measurement value, is higher than the second value, which is the past numerical measurement value.

[0127] Furthermore, when the first numerical value and the second numerical value are systolic blood pressures, if it is checked that the first numerical value is 60 mmHg and the second numerical value is 70 mmHg, the device 400 can determine that the health condition of the first patient is deteriorating from the low blood pressure state because the first numerical value, which is the current numerical measurement value, is lower than the second value, which is the past numerical measurement value, and thus.

[0128] That is, the device 400 may compare the first numerical value and the second numerical value according to the types of the first numerical value and the second numerical value to determine whether the current health condition of the first patient has improved since the past health condition.

[0129] If it is determined at step S804 that the health condition of the first patient has improved, the device 400 may determine at step S804 that the non-personal treatment is not required for the first patient.

[0130] That is, although it is checked that the first numerical value deviates from the warning range, if it is determined that the health condition of the first patient has improved as a result of the comparison of the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the device 400 can determine that the non-personal treatment is not required for the first patient.

[0131] If it is determined at step S804 that the health condition of the first patient has not improved, the device 400 may determine at step S806 that the non-personal treatment is required for the first patient.

[0132] Fig. 9 is a flowchart for describing a process of adjusting a camera height according to a measuring part according to an embodiment.

[0133] First, if the measuring device 100 is a first measuring device that measures blood flow, the device 400 may be configured to communicate with the first measuring device wirelessly or in a wired manner and may control the overall operation of the first measuring device.

[0134] According to one embodiment, the first measuring device may include a camera, a monitor, a carrier and a movable wheel.

[0135] Specifically, the first measuring device is a laser blood flow meter that measures blood flow in tissues within the human body using a laser, and may be configured to perform all or part of a calculation function, a storage / reference function, an input / output function, and a control function of a general computer.

[0136] The camera of the first measuring device may be composed of a laser diode, a diffuser, an NIR camera, a lens, a bandpass filter, etc. The camera of the first measuring device may perform a function of emitting laser light toward a measuring part when the measuring part is in front of the lens, and receiving the scattered laser light and forming an image by the received laser light when the emitted laser light is scattered by a surface of the measuring device.

[0137] The monitor of the first measuring device may be configured as a display device that visually displays data. The monitor of the first measuring device may perform a function of displaying an image generated by the camera of the first measuring device on a screen.

[0138] The support of the first measuring device can be connected to the camera of the first measuring device and the monitor of the first measuring device, and can be configured as a height adjustment means for adjusting a height at which the camera of the first measuring device and the monitor of the first measuring device are located. That is, the camera of the first measuring device and the monitor of the first measuring device can move up and down through the support of the first measuring device to change the height at which the camera of the first measuring device and the monitor of the first measuring device are located.

[0139] The movable wheel of the first measuring device may be connected to the support of the first measuring device and configured as a moving means for moving the first measuring device.

[0140] Furthermore, the first measuring device may be implemented as a Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) product, and the LSCI is a laser irradiation device that noninvasively or invasively measures a blood flow rate using a laser.

[0141] The first measuring device can be used to measure blood flow disturbances (thrombus, stenosis, mechanical damage, etc.) or to assist in the assessment of the degree thereof, to visualize microcirculatory blood perfusion in real time, and to provide a means of investigating microcirculatory blood flow.

[0142] The first measurement device is an LSCI system that can be used to monitor blood flow and can be implemented as a product that modifies laser speckle imaging.

[0143] LSCI technology is a simple and powerful technique used for full-field blood flow imaging, in which laser speckle can be reconstructed into an image in which the relative velocity of a scatterer can be known by detecting the degree of contrast of a speckle pattern that changes according to a moving scatterer.

[0144] Since the LSCI can be used to monitor the movement of red blood cells, it may be possible for the LSCI to measure the blood flow of tissues such as the retina, skin, brain, and the like.

[0145] That is, the first measuring device can monitor tissue necrosis and wound parts through the LSCI and can acquire a blood flow image and monitor blood flow in real time.

[0146] In addition, laser speckle is a technology that can be used for deformation and stress analysis, non-destructive examination or vibration analysis of an object through non-contact high resolution only with changes in an optical interferometer using a laser.

[0147] When the surface of an object is irradiated with light with excellent coherence, such as laser light, the laser is scattered and distorted due to the roughness of the object's surface, forming a dot-like pattern called a speckle pattern. The speckle pattern contains surface deformation information of the object, and information about the object's surface deformation can be acquired by recording and processing the speckle pattern.

[0148] That is, when an object is diffusely irradiated with a laser before the object is deformed, a speckle pattern is formed, and this speckle pattern, which contains information about the object's surface shape, is recorded by an image processing device. When deformation of the object occurs, the speckle pattern changes along with the deformation of the object's surface, and the speckle pattern after the object's deformation is recorded on the image processing device. In addition, a striped pattern can be obtained by performing real-time subtraction of the recorded speckle pattern before and after two modifications, and the interval of stripes of the striped pattern can be related to the deformation of the object. That is, deformation information before and after the object's deformation can be obtained by appropriately processing the interval of the stripes.

[0149] As described above, the first measuring device can measure changes in blood flow by a method of measuring the deformation of the object using the laser speckle pattern.

[0150] With reference to Fig. 9, at step S901, the device 400 may set an altitude at which the camera of the first measuring device is currently located as a first altitude value. In this case, the device 400 may check which portion of the support of the first measuring device the camera of the first measuring device is connected to, check the altitude at which the camera of the first measuring device is currently located, and set the altitude at which the camera of the first measuring device is currently located as the first altitude value.

[0151] At step S902, when the measurement part is selected as a first part, the device 400 may check a second height value set to measure the first part. For this purpose, information about a height value optimized for measurement for each part is stored in the database of the device 400, and the device 400 may acquire information about the height value of the first part from the database and check the second height value based on the acquired information. The selection for the first part may be selected by a button provided on the support of the first measuring device or may be selected on a touchscreen provided on the monitor of the first measuring device.

[0152] For example, when the measurement part is selected as the wrist, the device 400 may check the height value set to measure the wrist part as the second height value, and when the measurement part is selected as the ankle, the device 400 may check the height value set to measure the ankle part as the second height value.

[0153] At step S903, the device 400 may calculate a first difference value by subtracting the second altitude value from the first altitude value.

[0154] At step S904, the device 400 may check whether the first difference value is outside a reference range. Here, the reference range may be set differently depending on the embodiment, and for example, the reference range may be set from -5 cm to 5 cm.

[0155] If it is checked at step S904 that the first difference value is outside the reference range, the device 400 may check at step S905 whether the first difference value is greater than 0.

[0156] If it is checked at step S905 that the first difference value is greater than 0, the device 400 may control at step S906 that the camera of the first measuring device is lowered by a height corresponding to the first difference value, so that the position of the camera of the first measuring device is changed.

[0157] For example, if the first height value is 90 cm, the second height value is 80 cm, and the reference range is set from -5 cm to 5 cm, the device 400 can calculate the first difference value as 10 cm. Since it is checked that the first difference value is outside the reference range and is greater than 0, the device 400 can control the camera of the first measuring device to be lowered by 10 cm from the current position, thereby changing the position of the camera of the first measuring device.

[0158] If it is checked at step S905 that the first difference value is less than 0, the device 400 may control at step S907 that the camera of the first measuring device is raised by a height corresponding to the first difference value, so that the position of the camera of the first measuring device is changed.

[0159] For example, if the first height value is 80 cm, the second height value is 90 cm, and the reference range is set from -5 cm to 5 cm, the device 400 can calculate the first difference value as -10 cm. Since it is checked that the first difference value is outside the reference range and is less than 0, the device 400 can control the camera of the first measuring device to be raised 10 cm from the current position, thereby changing the position of the camera of the first measuring device.

[0160] Fig. 10 is a flowchart for describing a process of acquiring an image of a blood flow change measurement result as measurement information according to an embodiment.

[0161] With reference to Fig. 10, first, in step S1001, the device 400 may be set to a waiting state for detecting a measurement part of a first patient. For this purpose, the camera of the first measuring device may be equipped with a sensor, and the sensor may be set to a waiting state for detecting whether a measurement part is located in front of the camera of the first measuring device.

[0162] In step S1002, the device 400 may check whether it is detected at a first time that the measuring part of the first patient is in front of the camera of the first measuring device.

[0163] If it is not detected at step S1002 that the measurement part of the first patient is in front of the camera of the first measurement device, the process returns to step S1001 and the device 400 may maintain the waiting state for detecting the measurement part of the first patient.

[0164] If it is detected at step S1002 that the measurement part of the first patient is in front of the camera of the first measurement device, the device 400 may generate a 1-1 image showing a blood flow state of the measurement part of the first patient at the first time point at step S1003.

[0165] Specifically, when the device 400 detects at the first time that the first patient's measurement part is in front of the camera of the first measurement device, it emits laser light through the camera of the first measurement device to the first patient's measurement part. When the emitted laser light is scattered by the surface of the first patient's measurement part, the device 400 can generate the 1-1 image showing the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part at the first time using a laser speckle pattern.

[0166] When the 1-1 image is generated at step S1004, the device 400 may display the 1-1 image on a screen of the monitor of the first measuring device.

[0167] At step S1005, the device 400 may be set to a waiting state for detecting the measurement part of the first patient.

[0168] At step S1006, the device 400 may check whether it is detected at a second time that the first patient's measurement part is in front of the camera of the first measurement device. Here, the second time may refer to a time after a reference period has elapsed from the first time, and the reference period may be set differently depending on the first patient's measurement part.

[0169] If it is not detected at step S1006 that the measurement part of the first patient is in front of the camera of the first measurement device, the process returns to step S1005 and the device 400 maintains the waiting state for detecting the measurement part of the first patient.

[0170] If it is detected at step S1006 that the measuring part of the first patient is in front of the camera of the first measuring device, the device 400 may generate a 1-2 image in which the blood flow state of the measuring part of the first patient at the second time point is displayed at step S1007.

[0171] Specifically, when the device 400 detects at the second time that the first patient's measurement part is in front of the camera of the first measurement device, it emits laser light through the camera of the first measurement device to the first patient's measurement part. When the emitted laser light is scattered by the surface of the first patient's measurement part, the device 400 can generate the 1-2 image using a laser speckle pattern, which displays the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part at the second time.

[0172] At step S1008, the device 400 may compare the 1-1 image and the 1-2 image to determine whether there is a change in the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part. In this case, the device 400 may compare the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part at the first time point and the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part at the second time point based on the 1-1 image and the 1-2 image, and determine whether there is a change in the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part between the first time point and the second time point.

[0173] At step S1009, the device 400 may check whether there is a change in the blood flow state of the measurement part of the first patient as a result of the comparison of the 1-1 image and the 1-2 image.

[0174] If it is determined at step S1009 that there is no change in the blood flow state of the measurement part of the first patient, the process returns to step S1004 and the device 400 may continue to display the 1-1 image on the screen of the monitor of the first measurement device.

[0175] If it is determined at step S1009 that there is a change in the blood flow state of the first patient's measurement part, the device 400 may generate the second image displaying the blood flow change of the first patient's measurement part based on the 1-1 image and the 1-2 image at step S1010. In this case, the device 400 may generate the second image displaying the blood flow change by overlapping the 1-1 image and the 1-2 image and highlighting only the part where it is determined that there is a change in the blood flow state.

[0176] That is, the blood flow state for the blood vessel measured at the first time point is displayed in the 1-1 image, and the blood flow state for the blood vessel measured at the second time point is displayed in the 1-2 image. Device 400 may compare the 1-1 image and the 1-2 image to detect that the blood vessel has a change in blood flow state, and may generate a second image in which the change in blood flow state is displayed by highlighting the detected blood vessel.
