[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the safety and efficiency of treatment, and to ensure the support and safety of treatment by using a terminal. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0007] Embodiments of the present invention can be utilized as an evaluation method, evaluation device, evaluation system, evaluation program, analysis method, analysis device, analysis system, analysis program, medical accident prevention method, medical accident prevention device, medical accident prevention system, medical accident prevention program, medical safety assurance method, medical safety assurance device, medical safety assurance system, and medical safety assurance program, as to whether cosmetic medical care is being performed more efficiently, more accurately, and safely.

[0008] [Technology 1] This invention is a system for monitoring compliance with manuals for procedures at beauty clinics. Specifically, it captures information on the actions of medical staff during procedures and the tools they use in real time, and uses AI to determine whether the procedures are being performed according to the manual. If proper procedures are not performed, the system immediately issues an alert. This improves patient safety and reduces the possibility of medical errors.

[0009] Specifically, the present invention is a system for monitoring compliance with a manual for treatment actions in a beauty clinic. The problem that the present invention aims to solve is the deterioration of patient safety due to human error during surgery or examination or deviation from the manual. Specifically, in treatment at a beauty clinic where compliance with procedures is required, human error and non-compliance with routines are serious problems. The specific content of the present invention is a system that captures information such as the movements of medical personnel and the tools they use in real time and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to determine whether those actions conform to the manual. If appropriate actions are not taken, an alert is issued immediately, allowing appropriate responses. As an effect of the present invention, first of all, patient safety is significantly improved. By detecting deviations from the manual in real time, it is possible to prevent medical errors. In addition, the reaction of medical personnel to the generated alert and their subsequent actions are also recorded, making it possible to collect information that contributes to subsequent improvement activities. Furthermore, the present invention promotes training and ability improvement of medical personnel. Based on the generated alert, it is possible to clarify specific points for improvement, such as in what situations medical personnel tend to deviate from the manual or what procedures are difficult.

[0010] The system of the present invention includes the following elements. First, a sensor device, such as a high-resolution camera or motion sensor, is used to capture the movements of medical staff. This allows detailed recording of the doctor's movements during surgery and the operation of surgical tools. Second, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag or barcode scanner is installed to identify the tools and medicines used.

[0011] Motion sensors and high-resolution cameras capture the movements of medical professionals in real time and send the data to the AI ​​engine. For example, the moment a doctor picks up a surgical tool, his or her hand movements are captured and information is generated. Specific movement patterns during surgery (e.g., the direction and depth of the incision) are also captured as data.

[0012] RFID tags and barcode scanners are used to identify the instruments and drugs used. For example, RFID tags or barcodes attached to syringes, scalpels, and even medicines can be scanned to record which instruments or drugs were used and when. This ensures that the right instruments and drugs are used at the right time.

[0013] This data is sent in real time to the AI ​​engine, which uses deep learning algorithms to determine whether the data is in line with the manual. This determination covers a wide range of areas, including the timing of use of various instruments, surgical procedures, and the amount and timing of drug use.

[0014] If any behavior that does not comply with the manual is detected, the AI ​​engine generates an alert and warns medical personnel. This alert is communicated in the form of a message displayed on the screen, a voice notification, or a vibration on a specific device (e.g., a smartwatch). At the same time, detailed information about the alert and appropriate responses are also provided. In this way, by combining a specific sensor device and AI technology, the present invention monitors compliance with medical procedures in beauty clinics in real time and improves patient safety.

[0015] The audit system according to this embodiment will now be described in detail.

[0016] The present invention relates to a method for managing, guiding, verifying, automating and safely controlling a procedure for an upper arm compression method, the method comprising the steps of: (a) Select a bolero by referring to the designated size chart according to the size of your armhole (shoulder circumference). (b) If the pressure on the upper arms is insufficient, use a Tubecot compression method instead of changing the size. (c) Make sure the bolero is not too tight to prevent localized pressure on the armpit or elbow that could lead to skin detachment or nerve damage if the bolero is too small.

[0017] Since the upper arm compression method requires manual labor, there is a problem that the accuracy and reproducibility of the procedure cannot be guaranteed. In addition, if the procedure is performed improperly, it may cause discomfort or pain to the patient. Furthermore, if the compression is not performed properly, it may cause skin damage or nerve damage.

[0018] The present invention provides a method for managing, guiding, verifying, automating and safely managing the upper arm compression procedure, thereby improving accuracy and reproducibility of the procedure and reducing discomfort and pain for the patient. It also reduces the risk of skin damage and nerve damage.

[0019] In the present invention, the bolero is selected while referring to a predetermined size chart according to the size of the armhole (shoulder circumference), and if the compression of the upper arm is insufficient, the compression method using the tubicoat is used instead of changing the size. If the bolero is too small, the armpit or elbow will be locally compressed, and in order to prevent the risk of causing epidermal peeling or nerve damage, check whether the bolero is too tight. Since there is often pain in the upper arm, slowly lower the bolero and stretch it firmly so that it does not wrinkle or sag and the tip does not curl. Finally, check whether there is numbness in the hands.

[0020] The audit model used by the Audit Department is explained below. The audit model mainly uses deep learning techniques. This model judges the face band application process for each frame of video and evaluates whether the correct application process has been followed. Specifically, it uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to extract image features for each frame and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to determine temporal continuity.

[0021] Specifically, the model is generated using the following procedure: Data collection: Collect video data of correct and incorrect use of the faceband, preferably with labels for each step. Data preprocessing: Split the video into frames and organize each frame into a dataset along with its label. Model training: CNN is used to extract image features for each frame, and LSTM is used to learn temporal continuity. Model evaluation: The performance of the model is evaluated using a test dataset. Specific evaluation indicators include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Model application: The model will be applied to videos from actual medical settings to audit whether treatments are being performed properly.

[0022] [Technology 2] The invention is an AR (Augmented Reality) device that allows medical personnel to smoothly refer to manuals when performing procedures. This device is a headset or glasses type, and displays manual instructions directly within the field of view of the medical personnel performing surgery. This makes it possible to check the manual more efficiently and quickly than conventional paper-based or electronic manual references.

[0023] The problem that this invention aims to solve is that it is difficult to refer to the manuals required for performing medical procedures, which hinders the smooth implementation of examinations and surgeries. In particular, some procedures are complicated, and if the appropriate manuals cannot be instantly checked, the quality and efficiency of the procedures may decrease.

[0024] The specific content of this invention is a system that utilizes AI and AR (Augmented Reality) technology to provide an appropriate manual for each procedure. When a medical professional starts a procedure, the AI ​​selects the manual corresponding to that procedure from a database and displays it in real time through an AR device (e.g., AR glasses or a head-mounted display). At that time, a voice recognition system is also used, and the medical professional can request the next procedure by voice.

[0025] The effect of this invention is that it becomes much easier to refer to the manual, which results in improved quality and efficiency of medical procedures. Specifically, by visually presenting the manual in real time using AR technology, examinations and surgeries can be performed smoothly. In addition, by using a voice recognition system, it becomes possible to refer to the manual and give instructions on the progress even when one's hands are full.

[0026] Additionally, the present invention can be used in education and training, where the system of the present invention can be used to train new medical personnel and potentially increase the speed at which they learn new procedures.

[0027] As described above, the present invention plays an important role in improving the quality and efficiency of medical treatments in beauty clinics.

[0028] [Technology 3] This invention is an AI audit system that integrates the recording of medical examinations and surgeries with the evaluation of compliance with the manual. This system records video of each stage of medical treatment, and then the AI ​​evaluates the degree of compliance with the manual. The AI ​​evaluation results are used as feedback for medical staff, contributing to the provision of higher quality medical services.

[0029] The problem that this invention aims to solve is the difficulty of properly evaluating whether medical procedures are being performed according to manuals and recording and analyzing the results over the long term. If this problem cannot be solved, it may be difficult to gain insight into improving the quality of medical procedures, preventing medical errors, and improving the education of medical professionals.

[0030] The specific content of this invention is a medical procedure recording and evaluation system that utilizes AI and video recording technology. The AI ​​engine analyzes high-resolution video feeds in real time and evaluates whether each step of the procedure or examination is performed according to the manual. This evaluation is performed automatically and generates a detailed report. The report is stored in an electronic medical history system for later reference and analysis.

[0031] The invention also records high-resolution video of surgical and examination procedures, which are then automatically tagged and evaluated by AI, allowing for the recording of small details and anomalies that may be overlooked during the medical procedure to be recorded and analysed later.

[0032] The benefits of this invention include quality assurance and continuous improvement of medical procedures. Automatic evaluation by AI and high-resolution video recording make it possible to check whether examinations and surgeries are being performed according to the manual and provide appropriate feedback. In addition, the records and evaluation results are stored in an electronic medical history system, making it possible to use them for long-term trend analysis and training material.

[0033] As described above, the present invention plays an important role in improving the efficiency of recording and evaluation of medical procedures in beauty clinics and in improving quality.

[0034] [Technology 4] This invention is a system that uses robotics technology to complement or replace medical procedures in beauty clinics. This system inputs manual information into AI, and the robot performs the medical procedure based on that information. For example, robots are used for procedures that require precision and consistency, such as injections, delicate surgery, and even the application of cosmetics. This makes it possible to standardize the quality of medical care and reduce the workload of medical professionals.

[0035] The problem that this invention aims to solve is that there are limitations to the diagnosis and surgery performed by human medical professionals, and it is difficult to ensure quality and consistency, especially when high precision and delicate operations are required.

[0036] The specific content of this invention is a robotic arm that inputs information from a manual and performs medical procedures as instructed, and an AI engine that controls its movements. First, information from the manual (e.g., surgical procedures, selection and use of surgical instruments, etc.) is input into the system. The AI ​​engine then analyzes the information and generates specific operation instructions for the robotic arm. The robotic arm performs medical procedures as instructed in the manual according to the instructions received from the AI ​​engine.

[0037] The effects of the present invention include improved quality and consistency of medical procedures. In particular, in surgeries that require delicate manipulation, the precise movements of the robot arm can achieve greater accuracy and consistency than human medical personnel. In addition, since the movements of the robot arm based on the manual are controlled by an AI engine, it is easy to respond to updates or changes to the manual.

[0038] Furthermore, the present invention contributes to reducing the workload of medical staff, particularly by reducing fatigue and stress caused by long surgeries and continuous medical examinations, thereby reducing the risk of medical errors.

[0039] As described above, the present invention plays an important role in improving the quality and consistency of medical procedures in beauty clinics and reducing the workload of medical staff.
