Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The embodiments disclosed in this specification and the drawings relate to a health information management device, a health information management system, and a health information management method. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, various types of small sensors that can acquire biometric data of their owners, such as wristwatch-type wearable devices, have become widespread. These wearable devices can operate for long periods of time, so they can collect biometric data of their owners for long periods of time. The biometric data collected by the wearable device can be sent to medical professionals and used for health management of the owner. For example, the biometric data of the patient (owner) acquired by the wearable device can be provided to medical professionals along with the patient's main complaint, and used for diagnosis and follow-up of medical treatment by medical professionals.

[0003] However, for example, biometric data acquired by a wearable device from a healthy person or a patient with a chronic disease (hereinafter referred to as a "chronic disease patient") is considered to have little change. This is because healthy people and chronic disease patients are often in a stable health state, regardless of whether their health state is within the normal range or not, that is, it is difficult to imagine that their health state will suddenly change. For this reason, if the biometric data acquired by a wearable device from a healthy person or a chronic disease patient is stored (stored) as is in a storage device, for example, that is, if all biometric data is stored regardless of whether it is normal or abnormal, the amount of stored biometric data will become enormous as the period of acquiring the biometric data becomes longer. It is considered that it will be difficult to find data associated with a pathological condition from the enormous amount of stored biometric data. For this reason, there is a concern that medical personnel may overlook a disease that has occurred in a healthy person or a recurrence of a disease in a chronic disease patient.

[0005] The problem to be solved by the embodiments disclosed in this specification and the drawings is to suitably set the measurement conditions of an apparatus for measuring data relating to the health of a subject based on the data relating to the health of the subject of health management. However, the problem to be solved by the embodiments disclosed in this specification and the drawings is not limited to the above problem. Problems corresponding to the effects of each configuration shown in the embodiments described later can also be positioned as other problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A health information management device according to an embodiment is a health information management device that performs health management of a subject based on health information output by a collection device that collects information on the health of the subject, and includes an analysis unit and a processing unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, a health information management apparatus, a health information management system, and a health information management method according to embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration and usage environment of a health information management system including a health information management device according to an embodiment. The health information management system 1 is configured by combining a health information management device 100 installed in a medical institution such as a hospital 10, and a health information collection device 200 installed in a home 20 of a subject P (hereinafter referred to as a "health management subject") who will be managed for his / her health. The health management subject P includes, for example, a healthy person who wishes to manage his / her health, as well as a plurality of people who have been diagnosed by a medical professional as needing health management (mainly needing to monitor their condition at home), such as a patient suffering from a chronic disease (chronic disease patient), a patient suffering from a lifestyle-related disease, a patient undergoing follow-up observation after undergoing some medical procedure, a patient undergoing observation in preparation for surgery, and a person who has been pointed out in a medical checkup. In the health information management system 1, the health information management device 100 and the health information collection device 200 communicate with each other via a network NW. The network NW includes, for example, the Internet, a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Local Area Network (LAN), a provider device, a wireless base station, and the like.

[0010] The health information collection apparatus 200 collects data on the health of the health management subject P (hereinafter referred to as "health data") measured and acquired by a connected data collection device 300. FIG. 1 shows, as examples of the data collection device 300, a wristwatch-type wearable device 302 owned by the health management subject P, a portable mobile terminal device 304 used by the health management subject P, and an imaging device 306 that captures images of the health management subject P from a predetermined position in the home 20. When worn by the health management subject P, the wearable device 302 measures biological data including vital data such as body temperature, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (heart rate), and outputs the data to the health information collection apparatus 200 as health data. When carried by the health management subject P, the mobile terminal device 304 measures the amount of physical activity such as walking and exercise of the health management subject P, and outputs the data to the health information collection apparatus 200 as health data. The mobile terminal device 304 outputs images of the oral cavity and affected area taken by the health management subject P with a built-in camera to the health information collection device 200 as health data. The mobile terminal device 304 may be, for example, a mobile terminal that combines the functions of a mobile phone using an existing mobile communication network with the functions of a mobile information terminal (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), such as a so-called smartphone or tablet terminal. The imaging device 306 takes an image of the health management subject P in the home 20 and outputs the captured image data to the health information collection device 200 as health data. The imaging device 306 may perform a predetermined image processing on the captured image to analyze, for example, the body temperature of the health management subject P, and output information representing the analysis results to the health information collection device 200 as health data. The data collection device 300 shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and the data collection device 300 includes various devices that acquire health data of the health management subject P. For example, the data collection device 300 may be a pedometer (registered trademark) carried by the health management subject P, or a sphygmomanometer that the health management subject P uses to voluntarily measure blood pressure.For example, the data collection device 300 may be a device for checking whether the health management subject P has taste disorders, excretory disorders, etc., such as a salinity sensor capable of measuring salinity concentration, or various sensors capable of measuring urine, stool, saliva, blood, etc. The health data output by each data collection device 300 to the health information collection apparatus 200 is associated with information on the time when the health data was measured (acquired).

[0011] Health data is an example of "health information."

[0012] Each of the data collection devices 300 communicates with the health information collection apparatus 200 and outputs (transmits) the acquired health data of the health management subject P to the health information collection apparatus 200. The communication between the health information collection apparatus 200 and the data collection apparatus 300 may be, for example, wired communication using a communication cable or short-distance wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). Each of the data collection devices 300 outputs (transmits) the acquired health data of the health management subject P to the health information collection apparatus 200 at predetermined time intervals. For example, the data collection device 300 may store health data measured while the health management subject P is out in a storage device (not shown), and when the health management subject P returns to his / her home 20 and communication with the health information collection apparatus 200 is established, the data collection device 300 may output (transmit) the health data stored in the storage device (not shown) to the health information collection apparatus 200.

[0013] The health information collection apparatus 200 collects health data output (transmitted) by each data collection device 300, and transmits the collected health data to the health information management apparatus 100 via the network NW. The health information collection apparatus 200 transmits at least the health data initially collected from each data collection device 300 after starting health management of the health management subject P to the health information management apparatus 100. Thereafter, the health information collection apparatus 200 judges whether the health data currently collected from each data collection device 300 has significantly changed from the previously collected health data (e.g., the health data initially collected from each data collection device 300). Here, "the currently collected health data has significantly changed from the previously collected health data" means that the difference between the previously collected health data and the currently collected health data is greater than a predetermined threshold value, or the health data has changed to such an extent that it is assumed that the health management subject P has developed an illness (to such an extent that the health condition of the health management subject P can be determined to be abnormal). A method for determining whether the currently collected health data by the health information collection apparatus 200 has changed significantly from the previously collected health data will be described later. If the currently collected health data has changed significantly from the previously collected health data, the health information collection apparatus 200 transmits the currently collected health data from each data collection device 300 to the health information management apparatus 100. On the other hand, if the currently collected health data has not changed significantly from the previously collected health data, the health information collection apparatus 200 transmits, for example, information indicating that the health data is the same as before (hereinafter referred to as "no abnormality information") to the health information management apparatus 100. The no abnormality information is at least information with a smaller amount of data than the currently collected health data from each data collection device 300. As a result, when the health information collection apparatus 200 transmits the no abnormality information to the health information management apparatus 100, the amount of data transmission can be reduced compared to when transmitting the currently collected health data to the health information management apparatus 100.

[0014] The data collection device 300 is an example of a "collection device." The "no abnormality" information is an example of "determination information."

[0015] The health information management device 100 performs health management of the health management subject P based on the health data of the health management subject P transmitted by the health information collection device 200. When the health data is transmitted by the health information collection device 200, the health information management device 100 determines conditions (hereinafter referred to as "measurement conditions") for the data collection device 300 to measure the health data in order to perform health management in more detail. At this time, the health information management device 100 may display the health data of the health management subject P transmitted by the health information collection device 200 on a display device provided in a terminal device T used by a medical worker D belonging to the hospital 10, for example, and receive an instruction on the measurement conditions to be determined. The terminal device T is, for example, a computer device such as a personal computer (PC) installed in the hospital 10. The medical worker D is, for example, a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, etc. belonging to a medical institution such as the hospital 10 who performs health management of the health management subject P. The medical worker D may include, for example, a caregiver belonging to a care facility. There may be multiple medical workers D involved in the health management of the health management subject P. The health information management apparatus 100 transmits information indicating measurement conditions determined based on the health data of the health management subject P transmitted by the health information collection apparatus 200 (hereinafter referred to as "measurement condition data") to the health information collection apparatus 200 via the network NW. As a result, the health information collection apparatus 200 determines the measurement conditions for the health data in each data collection device 300 so that the health data of the health management subject P is measured under the measurement conditions represented by the measurement condition data transmitted by the health information management apparatus 100.

[0016] On the other hand, the health information management apparatus 100 does nothing when no-abnormality information is transmitted from the health information collection apparatus 200. As a result, the health information management apparatus 100 can reduce the processing load required for health management of the health management subject P when the health condition of the health management subject P has not changed significantly. The health information management apparatus 100 then causes the data collection device 300 to continue measuring health data under the current measurement conditions. However, if the state in which no-abnormality information is being transmitted from the health information collection apparatus 200 continues for a predetermined period of time, such as six months, the health information management apparatus 100 may instruct the health information collection apparatus 200 to transmit the latest health data, or change (reset) the measurement conditions to cause the data collection device 300 to continue measuring health data.

[0017] 1 shows a state in which one health information management device 100 and one health information collection device 200 are connected to each other via a network NW, but there may be a plurality of health information collection devices 200 communicating with the health information management device 100 via the network NW. In other words, there may be a plurality of health management subjects P whose health is managed by the health information management device 100. In this case, the health information management device 100 and the health information collection device 200 may exchange data between each other in a state in which identification information exclusively assigned to each health management subject P is added to the health data and measurement condition data so that the health management subject P whose health is managed can be identified.

[0018] In the health information management system 1, the health information management device 100 and the health information collection device 200 may be realized by a computer device such as a server device incorporated in a network or a cloud computing system. In this case, the health information management device 100 and the health information collection device 200 realized by the server device or the like may communicate with each other via a network NW. Furthermore, the health information management device 100 realized by the server device or the like may communicate with a terminal device T via the network NW. Furthermore, the health information collection device 200 realized by the server device or the like may communicate with each data collection device 300 via the network NW.

[0019] [Functional configuration of information collection device] 2 is a diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of a health information collection device 200 constituting the health information management system 1 according to an embodiment. The health information collection device 200 includes, for example, a processing circuit 210. The processing circuit 210 executes processes such as a health information acquisition function 212, a health information determination function 214, and a device setting function 216.

[0020] The processing circuitry 210, for example, realizes the respective functions of a health information acquisition function 212, a health information determination function 214, and a device setting function 216 by a hardware processor executing a program (software) stored in a memory (storage unit) not shown. The memory (not shown) is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), an optical disk, or the like.

[0021] The hardware processor means a circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (e.g., a simple programmable logic device (SPLD) or a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA)). Instead of storing a program in a memory (not shown), the program may be directly built into the circuit of the hardware processor. In this case, the hardware processor realizes each function by reading and executing the program built into the circuit. The hardware processor is not limited to being configured as a single circuit, and may be configured as one hardware processor by combining multiple independent circuits to realize each function. Multiple components may be integrated into one hardware processor to realize each function. Multiple components may be built into one dedicated LSI to realize each function. Here, the program (software) may be stored in advance in a storage device (storage device with a non-transient storage medium) constituting a storage device such as a ROM, RAM, a semiconductor memory element such as a flash memory, or a hard disk drive, or may be stored in a removable storage medium (non-transient storage medium) such as a DVD or CD-ROM, and installed in the storage device provided in the health information collection apparatus 200 by mounting the storage medium in a drive device provided in the health information collection apparatus 200. The program (software) may be downloaded in advance from another computer device via the network NW and installed in the storage device provided in the health information collection apparatus 200.A program (software) installed in a storage device included in the health information collection apparatus 200 may be transferred to a processing circuit included in the health information collection apparatus 200 and executed therein.

[0022] The health information acquisition function 212 acquires the health data output (transmitted) by each data collection device 300. The method by which the health information acquisition function 212 acquires the health data may be any method. For example, when the data collection device 300 is connected to the health information collection apparatus 200 by wire, the health information acquisition function 212 may start the target data collection device 300 at a predetermined time interval and acquire the health data measured by the data collection device 300. For example, when the data collection device 300 is capable of transmitting and receiving data by short-range wireless communication, the health information acquisition function 212 may acquire the health data measured by the data collection device 300 via a communication device or communication function (hereinafter referred to as a "data collection device communication unit") not shown at a predetermined time interval or when the target data collection device 300 enters the communication range of the short-range wireless communication. The health information acquisition function 212 outputs (transfers) the health data acquired from each data collection device 300 to the health information determination function 214. The health information acquisition function 212 may store the health data acquired from each data collection device 300 in a storage device not shown, and notify the health information determination function 214 of this, so that the health information determination function 214 acquires the health data from the storage device not shown.

[0023] The health information determination function 214 judges whether or not the health condition of the health management subject P has changed significantly based on the health data output (transferred) by the health information acquisition function 212. The health information determination function 214 judges whether or not the health condition of the health management subject P has changed significantly immediately or at a predetermined time when the health data is output (transferred) by the health information acquisition function 212. At this time, the health information determination function 214 judges whether the currently collected health data shows a significant increase or decrease compared to previously collected health data or an average value of health data collected over a predetermined period (e.g., one month), and whether or not there is a specific sign (a difference in the average value or a sudden abnormal value) compared to health data previously collected during the same time period.

[0024] The health information determination function 214 may perform a determination on the currently collected health data using, for example, a determination model that is a trained model trained to output a health-related index (an index indicating the magnitude of change in health state) based on the input health data. The determination model is generated by, for example, a computing device (not shown) using a machine learning function in AI (Artificial Intelligence). The determination model may be a trained model trained on the health data of a plurality of health management subjects, or may be a trained model trained only on the health data of the current health management subject P. The determination model may be a trained model trained to output a health index corresponding to the input health data using, for example, a technology such as CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) or DNN (Deep Neural Network). CNN is a neural network in which several layers such as a convolution layer and a pooling layer are connected. DNN is a neural network in which layers of any form are connected in a multi-layered manner.

[0025] The health information determination function 214 may, for example, use a machine learning function in AI to learn the daily life patterns and rhythms of the health management subject P from the health data collected by the data collection device 300 (mobile terminal device 304), and may make a judgment on the currently collected health data including the learning result. At this time, the health information determination function 214 may learn the daily life patterns and rhythms of the health management subject P on a weekly or seasonal basis. This allows the health information determination function 214 to make a judgment on the currently collected health data including changes in the daily life patterns and rhythms of the health management subject P, changes in physical condition that the health management subject P does not notice due to seasonal changes, etc. The information on the daily life patterns and rhythms of the health management subject P learned by the health information determination function 214 may be used as information to support the diagnosis by the medical worker D, together with the main complaint made by the health management subject P to the medical worker D, when the health management subject P visits the hospital 10, for example.

[0026] The health information determination function 214 may perform a determination on the currently collected health data using a predetermined threshold value that is predefined for each item such as body temperature, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (heart rate), etc., for determining whether or not there has been a significant change in the health condition of the health management subject P based on the difference between the value of the currently collected health data and the value of the previously collected health data. For example, the predetermined threshold value is a value that can be determined to be within the margin of error for the value of the health data transmitted by each data collection device 300.

[0027] The health information determination function 214 transmits the result of the determination on the currently collected health data to the health information management device 100 in association with identification information for identifying the health management subject P. However, the health information determination function 214 transmits the health data currently collected for the first time from each data collection device 300 after starting health management of the health management subject P to the health information management device 100 as is, regardless of the result of the determination on the health data, that is, regardless of whether the health condition of the health management subject P has changed significantly or not. Thereafter, if the health information determination function 214 determines that the health condition of the health management subject P has changed significantly from the previously collected health data, it transmits the currently collected health data from each data collection device 300 to the health information management device 100. At this time, the health information determination function 214 may transmit the currently collected health data as is to the health information management device 100, or may transmit data indicating the difference from the previously collected health data to the health information management device 100. On the other hand, when the health information determination function 214 determines that the health condition of the health management subject P has not changed significantly from the previously collected health data based on the currently collected health data, it transmits no abnormality information to the health information management device 100. At this time, the health information determination function 214 activates a communication device or communication function (hereinafter referred to as the "collection device external communication unit") not shown, and transmits the currently collected health data or no abnormality information from each data collection device 300 to the health information management device 100 via the network NW.

[0028] When the health information determination function 214 transmits the health data currently collected from each data collection device 300 to the health information management device 100, it may instruct the started collection device external communication unit (not shown) to access a storage device (not shown) in which the health information acquisition function 212 has stored the health data, and to read and transmit the health data stored in the storage device (not shown).

[0029] For example, when the health management subject P has not been able to acquire any of the health data that should be acquired, such as health data voluntarily measured by the data collection device 300, the health information determination function 214 may notify the health management subject P that the acquisition of the health data has not been completed. In this case, the health information determination function 214 may, for example, activate a data collection device communication unit (not shown) to generate a warning (alarm) to the data collection device 300 that has not yet acquired the health data, or may cause a display device included in the mobile terminal device 304 to display a pop-up image encouraging the measurement of the health data.

[0030] Health information determination function 214 is an example of a “determination unit.” The currently collected health data determined by health information determination function 214 is an example of “first health information.”

[0031] The device setting function 216 acquires the acquisition condition data transmitted by the health information management device 100. More specifically, the device setting function 216 acquires the measurement condition data transmitted by the health information management device 100 via the network NW and received by a collection device external communication unit (not shown). Then, the device setting function 216 changes the measurement condition of the health data set in the corresponding data collection device 300 so that each data collection device 300 measures the health data of the health management subject P under the measurement condition represented by the acquired measurement condition data. The method of the device setting function 216 to set (change) the measurement condition may be any method. For example, when the data collection device 300 is connected to the health information collection device 200 by wire, the device setting function 216 may start the data collection device 300 to which the setting of the measurement condition is to be changed, and set (change) the measurement condition by a method corresponding to the data collection device 300. For example, when the data collection device 300 is capable of transmitting and receiving data by short-distance wireless communication, the device setting function 216 may set (change) the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 by establishing short-distance wireless communication by the data collection device communication unit, or when the target data collection device 300 enters the communication range of short-distance wireless communication and short-distance wireless communication is established. When it is necessary to access, for example, a vendor that provides the data collection device 300 to obtain a necessary program or the like in order to set (change) the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300, the device setting function 216 may set (change) the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 after obtaining the necessary program or the like via the network NW. As a result, each data collection device 300 will perform subsequent health data measurements under the currently set measurement conditions.

[0032] The device setting function 216 is an example of a "device setting section."

[0033] [Functional configuration of the health information management device] 3 is a diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the health information management device 100 according to an embodiment. The health information management device 100 includes, for example, a processing circuit 110 and a health information storage unit 120. The processing circuit 110 executes processes such as a health information registration function 112, a health information processing function 114, a health information analysis function 116, and a review request function 118.

[0034] The health information storage unit 120 is a storage device that stores the health data of the health management subject P transmitted by the health information collection device 200 via the network NW. The health information storage unit 120 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a ROM, a RAM, or a flash memory, a hard disk drive, or an optical disk. Although FIG. 1 shows a case where the health information storage unit 120 is configured as a storage device inside the health information management device 100, the health information storage unit 120 may be configured as a storage device external to the health information management device 100. When the health information storage unit 120 is configured as a storage device external to the health information management device 100, the health information storage unit 120 may be controlled by a computer device such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) or a server device that manages an external storage device on a network, by receiving a read / write request from the server device. The health information storage unit 120 may be realized, for example, as a database system such as an electronic medical record system that manages electronic medical records, or as a storage device of a medical image management system known as PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) that systematically stores medical images captured by various image diagnostic devices.

[0035] The processing circuit 110, for example, realizes each of the functions of a health information registration function 112, a health information processing function 114, a health information analysis function 116, and a consideration request function 118 by a hardware processor executing a program (software) stored in a memory (storage unit) not shown. The memory not shown is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a ROM, a RAM, or a flash memory, a hard disk drive, an optical disk, or the like.

[0036] The hardware processor means a circuit such as a CPU, a GPU, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (e.g., a simple programmable logic device (SPLD) or a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), a field programmable gate array (FPGA)), etc. Instead of storing the program in a memory (not shown), the program may be directly built into the circuit of the hardware processor. In this case, the hardware processor realizes each function by reading and executing the program built into the circuit. The hardware processor is not limited to being configured as a single circuit, and may be configured as one hardware processor by combining multiple independent circuits to realize each function. Multiple components may be integrated into one hardware processor to realize each function. Multiple components may be incorporated into one dedicated LSI to realize each function. Here, the program (software) may be stored in advance in a storage device (storage device with a non-transient storage medium) constituting a storage device such as a ROM, RAM, a semiconductor memory element such as a flash memory, or a hard disk drive, or may be stored in a removable storage medium (non-transient storage medium) such as a DVD or CD-ROM, and installed in the storage device of the health information management apparatus 100 by mounting the storage medium in a drive device of the health information management apparatus 100. The program (software) may be downloaded in advance from another computer device via the network NW and installed in the storage device of the health information management apparatus 100. The program (software) installed in the storage device of the health information management apparatus 100 may be transferred to a processing circuit of the health information management apparatus 100 and executed.

[0037] The health information registration function 112 acquires health data or normal information transmitted by the health information collection device 200 (more specifically, the health information determination function 214) via the network NW. Then, when the health information collection device 200 transmits the health data, the health information registration function 112 registers (stores) the acquired health data in the health information storage unit 120. At this time, the health information registration function 112 registers (stores) the acquired health data in the health information storage unit 120 in a storage area corresponding to the health management subject P in the health information storage unit 120 based on the identification information of the health management subject P associated with the health data transmitted by the health information collection device 200. Then, the health information registration function 112 notifies the health information processing function 114 that the health data has been registered in the health information storage unit 120 together with the identification information of the health management subject P. On the other hand, when the health information collection device 200 transmits normal information, the health information registration function 112 does nothing. When normal information is sent by the health information collection device 200, the health information registration function 112 may simply notify the health information processing function 114 that the normal information has been obtained, together with the identification information of the health management subject P.

[0038] When the health information processing function 114 receives a notification from the health information registration function 112 indicating that the health data has been registered in the health information storage unit 120, in response to this notification, that is, when a significant change has occurred in any of the health data of the health management subject P, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection devices 300 necessary for more detailed health management of the health management subject P. The measurement conditions are conditions for obtaining health data necessary for determining a disease that is assumed to have occurred in the health management subject P, such as the items of health data measured by each data collection device 300 (e.g., body temperature, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (heart rate), etc.), the timing of measuring the health data (e.g., the time or time period such as morning, afternoon, night, immediately after the health management subject P wakes up, immediately before going to bed, etc.), the number of times the health data is measured, and the period for measuring the health data.

[0039] For this reason, the health information processing function 114 first causes the health information analysis function 116 to analyze a disease that is assumed to have occurred in the health management subject P. For this reason, the health information processing function 114 reads and acquires, from the health information storage unit 120, the health data of the health management subject P that has been previously registered (stored) (hereinafter referred to as "past health data") and the health data of the health management subject P that has been currently registered (stored) (hereinafter referred to as "current health data"). The past health data that the health information processing function 114 reads from the health information storage unit 120 may be the most recent health data prior to the current health data, or may be a history of health data for a predetermined period of time, that is, a plurality of health data. Then, the health information processing function 114 outputs each of the health data read (acquired) from the health information storage unit 120 to the health information analysis function 116, and requests the health information analysis function 116 to analyze the health data.

[0040] The health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 required for more detailed health management of the health management subject P based on the analysis result of the health information analysis function 116 on the requested health data. Here, the analysis result of the health information analysis function 116 may include a result that an examination of the health management subject P or a medical treatment by the medical practitioner D is necessary (recommended). In this case, the health information processing function 114 judges that the analysis result of the health information analysis function 116 requires consideration of a response by the medical practitioner D. Then, in response to this judgment result, the health information processing function 114 outputs the past health data and current health data read (acquired) from the health information storage unit 120, and the analysis result of the health information analysis function 116 to the consideration request function 118, and instructs the consideration request function 118 to issue a request for consideration of a response to the medical practitioner D. Then, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 necessary for more detailed health management of the health management subject P, including the result of the medical worker D's consideration of the requested response output by the consideration request function 118. For example, if the analysis result of the health information analysis function 116 shows that the health data of the health management subject P shows a large change (abnormality) in the heart rate at night or in the morning, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 (wearable device 302) so as to measure the electrocardiogram waveform more precisely during the time period when the abnormality occurs. For example, if the medical worker D's consideration results in an instruction to check whether the health management subject P has developed jaundice for a certain period of time after changing the medicine the health management subject P is currently taking or changing the dosage of the medicine, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 (imaging device 306) so as to capture images of the eyes of the health management subject P (the capture interval may be set according to the elapsed time).

[0041] The health information processing function 114 transmits measurement condition data indicating the determined measurement conditions to the health information collection device 200 via the network NW. At this time, the health information processing function 114 activates a communication device or communication function (hereinafter referred to as a "management device external communication unit") not shown, and transmits the measurement condition data to the health information management device 100 via the network NW. As a result, the health information collection device 200 (more specifically, the device setting function 216) changes the measurement conditions of the health data set in the corresponding data collection device 300 so that each data collection device 300 measures the health data of the health management subject P under the measurement conditions indicated by the measurement condition data.

[0042] Current health data is an example of “first health information” and past health data is an example of “second health information.”

[0043] The health information analysis function 116 analyzes a disease that is assumed to have occurred in the health management subject P based on the past health data and the current health data output by the health information processing function 114. The analysis of a disease that is assumed to have occurred in the health management subject P by the health information analysis function 116 at this time may be performed using an analytical model that is a trained model trained to output, for example, the name of a disease assumed based on the difference between the input past health data and the current health data, the test items required to confirm the disease, and a countermeasure (including medical treatment) for the disease. The analytical model is, for example, generated by a computing device (not shown) using a machine learning function in AI. The analytical model may be, for example, a trained model trained to output the name of a disease (disease name), the test items, the countermeasure (medical treatment), and the like corresponding to the health-related data represented by each input health data using a technology such as CNN or DNN. The analytical model may be a trained model that includes, in addition to the health data represented by the health data, information that matches the symptoms of a disease recorded in the electronic medical records of multiple patients with the name of the disease, test items, and countermeasures (medical procedures), etc., and information that matches the condition of the area where a disease is occurring in medical images of multiple patients stored in a PACS with the name of the disease, test items, and countermeasures (medical procedures), etc.

[0044] Health information analysis function 116 outputs the analysis results of a disease that is assumed to have occurred in health management subject P to health information processing function 114. In other words, health information analysis function 116 outputs to health information processing function 114 the disease (disease name), test items, and countermeasures (medical procedures) that are assumed to have occurred in health management subject P from the past health data and current health data output by health information processing function 114.

[0045] As a result, the health information processing function 114 judges whether or not the medical practitioner D needs to consider a response, or determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300. For example, the health information processing function 114 judges whether or not the medical practitioner D needs to consider a response based on the test items and countermeasures included in the analysis results output by the health information analysis function 116. More specifically, if the countermeasures included in the analysis results include medical practice by the medical practitioner D, the health information processing function 114 judges that the medical practitioner D needs to consider a response. In this case, the health information processing function 114 outputs the past health data, the current health data, and the analysis results to the consideration request function 118, and instructs the medical practitioner D to issue a request to consider a response. On the other hand, if the countermeasures included in the analysis results do not include medical practice, it judges that the medical practitioner D does not need to consider a response. In this case, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 based on the test items included in the analysis results.

[0046] The health information analysis function 116 is an example of an "analysis unit."

[0047] When the health information processing function 114 instructs the consideration request function 118 to issue a response consideration request, the consideration request function 118 outputs the past health data, current health data and analysis results output by the health information processing function 114 to the terminal device T, and requests the medical worker D to consider a response. The consideration request function 118 may, for example, generate a display image for displaying the past health data, current health data and analysis results on a display device provided in the terminal device T, transmit the generated display image to the terminal device T for display, and may also display a pop-up image encouraging the medical worker D to consider a response. The consideration request function 118 may, for example, generate and transmit a display image for displaying only the analysis results on a display device provided in the terminal device T, and display a pop-up image requesting the medical worker D to consider a response by referring to the past health data and current health data stored in the health information storage unit 120.

[0048] When the medical worker D inputs the examination results, the examination request function 118 acquires information representing the examination results of the medical worker D. The medical worker D inputs the examination results by, for example, operating an input interface such as a mouse, keyboard, or touch panel provided on the terminal device T. The examination results of the medical worker D include, for example, items and conditions for measuring the health management subject P by the data collection device 300 (in other words, items of health data such as body temperature, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (heart rate) and measurement timing), the number of times, and period, and other conditions for obtaining health data required to determine a disease that is assumed to have occurred in the health management subject P. The examination results of the medical worker D may include, for example, information representing examination items and medical procedures that require (recommended) hospital visits. The examination results of the medical worker D may include, for example, information representing a change in medication currently being taken by the health management subject P, discontinuation of medication, and the like. When the medical worker D inputs the examination results, the examination request function 118 acquires information representing the examination results of the medical worker D from the terminal device T. The review request function 118 outputs the acquired review results to the health information processing function 114, and notifies the health information processing function 114 that it has acquired the review results of medical worker D. The review request function 118 may store the acquired review results in the health information storage unit 120, and notify the health information processing function 114 of this.

[0049] The review request function 118 is an example of a 'review request section'.

[0050] As a result, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 necessary for more detailed health management of the health management subject P, including the examination results of the medical worker D on the examination of the requested response output by the examination request function 118. For example, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 based on the measurement items, conditions, and examination items of the health management subject P included in the examination results output by the examination request function 118. At this time, when the examination items included in the analysis result and the examination items included in the examination result indicate that different examinations are to be performed, the health information processing function 114 may determine the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 corresponding to both examination items, or may determine the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 corresponding only to the examination items included in the examination result. When the examination results output by the examination request function 118 include information indicating examination items or medical procedures that require (recommended) hospital visits, the health information processing function 114 may determine, as the measurement conditions, an instruction to issue a notification encouraging the health management subject P to visit a hospital. When the review results output by the review request function 118 include information indicating a change in medication or discontinuation of medication, the health information processing function 114 may determine, as a measurement condition, an instruction to send a notification to the health management subject P urging him / her to visit a pharmacy or the like, or a notification urging him / her to discontinue taking the medication.

[0051] The health information processing function 114 transmits measurement condition data indicating the determined measurement conditions to the health information collection device 200 via the network NW. As a result, the health information collection device 200 (more specifically, the device setting function 216) changes the measurement conditions of the health data set in the corresponding data collection device 300 so that each data collection device 300 measures the health data of the health management subject P under the measurement conditions indicated by the measurement condition data.

[0052] The health information processing function 114 is an example of a "processing unit."

[0053] [Health Information Management System Processing] Next, the operation of the health information management system 1 in the usage environment will be described. Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing executed in the health information management system 1 according to the embodiment. Fig. 4 shows an example of the flow of processing performed by each of the health information management device 100 and the health information collection device 200 in the health information management system 1. In the following description, it is assumed that measurement conditions have already been set for the health information collection device 200.

[0054] Each data collection device 300 measures health data under the set measurement conditions, and then outputs (transmits) the measured health data to the health information collection apparatus 200 (Step S100).

[0055] The health information acquisition function 212 of the processing circuit 210 included in the health information collection apparatus 200 acquires the health data output (transmitted) by each data collection device 300. The health information acquisition function 212 then outputs (transfers) the health data acquired from each data collection device 300 to the health information determination function 214 (step S110).

[0056] Next, the health information determination function 214 of the processing circuit 210 included in the health information collection device 200 judges whether or not the health data currently output (transferred) by the health information acquisition function 212 indicates a significant change in the health condition of the health management subject P (step S200). At this time, the health information determination function 214 checks whether or not the health data currently output (transferred) by the health information acquisition function 212 is similar to the health data previously output (transferred) (step S300). That is, the health information determination function 214 judges whether or not the health data currently output (transferred) by the health information acquisition function 212 has significantly changed compared to the health data previously output (transferred). When it is confirmed in step S300 that the health data currently output (transferred) is similar to the health data previously output (transferred), the health information determination function 214 transmits normal information to the health information management device 100 via the network NW (step S302).

[0057] On the other hand, if it is confirmed in step S300 that the health data currently output (transferred) is not the same as the health data previously output (transferred), i.e., has changed significantly, the health information determination function 214 transmits the health data currently output (transferred) to the health information management device 100 via the network NW (step S304).

[0058] As a result, health information registration function 112 of processing circuit 110 provided in health information management device 100 receives (acquires) the normal information or health data transmitted by health information collection device 200 via network NW. Then, health information registration function 112 checks whether or not it has received (acquired) the health data transmitted by health information collection device 200 (step S400). If it is confirmed in step S400 that it has not received (acquired) health data, that is, that it has received (acquired) normal information, health information registration function 112 does nothing and ends the current process.

[0059] On the other hand, if it is confirmed in step S400 that the health data has been received (acquired), health information registration function 112 registers (stores) the received (acquired) health data in health information storage unit 120 (step S410). Then, health information registration function 112 notifies health information processing function 114 that the health data has been registered in health information storage unit 120 together with the identification information of health management target person P (step S412).

[0060] As a result, health information processing function 114 of processing circuit 110 included in health information management device 100 acquires the health data registered (stored) in health information storage unit 120 (step S50). More specifically, health information processing function 114 reads and acquires, from health information storage unit 120, past health data previously registered (stored) by health information registration function 112 and current health data currently registered (stored). Then, health information processing function 114 outputs each of the past health data and current health data read (acquired) from health information storage unit 120 to health information analysis function 116 and requests analysis of the health data (step S510).

[0061] Upon receiving this analysis request, health information analysis function 116 of processing circuit 110 included in health information management device 100 analyzes the past health data and current health data output by health information processing function 114 (step S600). In other words, health information analysis function 116 analyzes an illness that is assumed to have occurred in health management subject P, based on the past health data and current health data. Health information analysis function 116 outputs the analysis result to health information processing function 114 (step S610).

[0062] Health information processing function 114 determines whether or not consideration of a response by medical practitioner D is required based on the analysis results output by health information analysis function 116 (step S700). If it is determined in step S700 that consideration of a response by medical practitioner D is not required, health information processing function 114 proceeds to step S800.

[0063] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S700 that medical professional D needs to consider an appropriate response, the health information processing function 114 outputs the past health data, current health data, and analysis results to the review request function 118, and instructs medical professional D to issue a request to consider an appropriate response (step S710).

[0064] Upon receiving this instruction to request consideration of a response, the consideration requesting function 118 of the processing circuit 110 provided in the health information management apparatus 100 outputs the past health data, current health data and analysis results output by the health information processing function 114 to the terminal device T, and requests the medical worker D to consider a response. Thereafter, when the medical worker D inputs the consideration results (step S720), the consideration requesting function 118 acquires the consideration results of the medical worker D (step S720). The consideration requesting function 118 then outputs the acquired consideration results to the health information processing function 114, and notifies the health information processing function 114 that the consideration results have been acquired (step S730).

[0065] If health information processing function 114 determines in step S700 that no consideration of action by medical worker D is required, or upon receiving a notification that the consideration result has been acquired in step S730, it determines whether or not it is necessary to change the measurement conditions of data collection device 300 (step S800). If it is determined in step S800 that no change in the measurement conditions of data collection device 300 is required, that is, that the data collection device 300 is to continue measuring health data under the current measurement conditions, health information processing function 114 ends the current process without doing anything.

[0066] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S800 that the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 need to be changed, the health information processing function 114 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 required for more detailed health management of the health management subject P (step S810). Then, the health information processing function 114 transmits the determined measurement conditions (measurement condition data indicating the measurement conditions) to the health information collection apparatus 200 via the network NW (step S812). Thereafter, the health information processing function 114 ends this processing.

[0067] As a result, the device setting function 216 of the processing circuit 210 included in the health information collection apparatus 200 sets (changes) the measurement conditions of health data in the corresponding data collection device 300 (step S900). As a result, each data collection device 300 measures the health data of the health management subject P under the measurement conditions transmitted by the health information management apparatus 100 via the network NW. Thereafter, the device setting function 216 ends this processing.

[0068] In this way, in the health information management system 1, the health information collection device 200 collects the health data of the health management subject P measured and acquired by the connected data collection device 300. Then, the health information collection device 200 transmits the collected health data to the health information management device 100 via the network NW. At this time, the health information collection device 200 determines whether the current health data collected this time has changed significantly from the past health data collected previously, and if the current health data has not changed significantly from the past health data, transmits information indicating that there is no abnormality to the health information management device 100. This allows the health information management system 1 to reduce the amount of transmission of health data (current health data) from the health information collection device 200 to the health information management device 100. On the other hand, if the current health data has changed significantly from the past health data, the current health data is transmitted to the health information management device 100. This allows the health information management system 1 to immediately consider how to deal with the case in which it is assumed that the health management subject P has developed an illness.

[0069] In the health information management system 1, when the health information management device 100 receives information indicating that there is no abnormality from the health information collection device 200, it does nothing, but when it receives (acquires) the current health data transmitted by the health information collection device 200, it analyzes the disease that is assumed to have occurred in the health management subject P based on the past health data and the current health data. Furthermore, the health information management device 100 judges whether or not a response by the medical worker D is required based on the analysis result, and when it judges that a response is required, it requests the medical worker D to consider the response. Then, based on the analysis result or each of the analysis result and the consideration result, the health information management device 100 determines the measurement conditions of the data collection device 300 required for performing the health management of the health management subject P in more detail, and transmits the determined measurement conditions to the health information collection device 200. In the health information management system 1, the health information collection device 200 sets (changes) the measurement conditions transmitted by the health information management device 100 to the corresponding data collection device 300. As a result, in the health information management system 1, each data collection device 300 measures the health data of the health management subject P under the measurement conditions determined by the health information management apparatus 100. In other words, in the health information management system 1, each data collection device 300 measures the health data of the health management subject P under conditions suitable for performing more detailed health management of the health management subject P.

[0070] As described above, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, when it is assumed that the health management subject P has developed an illness based on the acquired health data, the measurement conditions for the data collection device 300 required for more detailed health management of the health management subject P are determined, and the determined measurement conditions are set (changed) in the corresponding data collection device 300. In this way, the health information management system 1 of the embodiment can appropriately perform health management of the health management subject P.

[0071] Moreover, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, the health information collection device 200, which collects the health data of the health management subject P from each data collection device 300, determines whether the currently collected health data has changed significantly from the previously collected health data, and transmits the currently collected health data to the health information management device 100 if the currently collected health data has changed significantly from the previously collected health data. In other words, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, if the currently collected health data has not changed significantly from the previously collected health data, the currently collected health data is not transmitted to the health information management device 100. As a result, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, the amount of health data transmitted from the health information collection device 200 to the health information management device 100 can be reduced, and the health information management device 100 can perform processes related to the health management of the health management subject P (such as analysis of health data, judgment on the need for medical personnel to consider a response, and processing to determine measurement conditions) only when it is assumed that the health management subject P has developed an illness. As a result, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, when the current health data has not changed significantly from the past health data, the load of processing related to the health management of the health management subject P in the health information management device 100 can be reduced. On the other hand, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, when the current health data has changed significantly from the past health data, it is possible to immediately consider a response in the case where it is assumed that the health management subject P has developed an illness. Furthermore, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, when the health management subject P has not developed an illness, it is not necessary to store (store) the health data that has not changed much in the storage device (health information storage unit 120) as it is, so that the amount of health data stored (stored) in the health information storage unit 120 can be reduced. As a result, in the health information management system 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to prevent the storage capacity of the health information storage unit 120, which stores (stores) the health data of the health management subject P, from becoming tight.

[0072] In the above-described embodiment of the health information management system 1, a case where a plurality of data collection devices 300 are connected to the health information collection device 200 at home 20 has been shown. In other words, a case where each data collection device 300 is disposed outside the health information collection device 200 has been shown. However, for example, the health information collection device 200 may be configured to have a function of measuring the health data of the health management subject P in the data collection device 300. In other words, one or more of the data collection devices 300 may have the functions of the health information collection device 200 and the data collection device 300. In this case, the data collection device 300 having the functions of the health information collection device 200 may independently determine whether the health data measured this time has changed significantly from the health data measured previously, and may transmit the health data measured this time or information indicating that there is no abnormality to the health information management device 100 via the network NW depending on the result of the determination. 1, the data collection device 300 having the functions of the health information collection device 200 may collect health data measured by a data collection device 300 not having the functions of the health information collection device 200, determine whether the currently collected health data has changed significantly from the previously collected health data, and transmit the currently measured health data or no abnormality information to the health information management device 100 via the network NW depending on the determination result. The configurations of the health information collection device 200 and the data collection device 300 in this case, and the operation and processing of each function can be easily considered from the above-mentioned embodiment. Therefore, detailed explanations of the configurations of the health information collection device 200 and the data collection device 300 in this case, and the operation and processing of each function will be omitted.

A health information management device for managing the health of a subject based on health information output from a collection device that collects information on the health of the subject, the health information management device comprising a processing circuit; The processing circuitry includes: Analyzing the health condition of the subject based on first health information, which is the health information currently collected from the subject, and second health information, which is the health information previously collected from the subject; determining measurement conditions for the collection device to measure the subject and collect the health information based on the analysis results; Setting the determined measurement conditions in the collection device; Health information management device.

[0074] According to at least one of the embodiments described above, a health information management device (100) that manages the health of a subject (P) based on health information (health data) output by a collection device (300) that collects information regarding the health of the subject, includes an analysis unit (116) that analyzes the health condition of the subject based on first health information (current health data), which is the health information currently collected from the subject, and second health information (past health data), which is the health information previously collected from the subject, and a processing unit (114) that determines measurement conditions when the collection device measures the subject and collects the health information based on the analysis results, and sets the determined measurement conditions in the collection device, thereby realizing a health information management device that can suitably set measurement conditions of the device (300) that measures data regarding the health of the subject (P) based on the data regarding the health of the subject (P).

[0075] Although some embodiments have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
