Background Art

[0002] Diabetes is a chronic disease that frequently occurs in modern people. In the case of [country name], it has reached more than 2 million people, which is equivalent to 5% of the total population.

[0003] Diabetes is caused by various factors such as obesity, stress, incorrect eating habits, and congenital inheritance, resulting in an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin produced by the pancreas, which cannot correct the balance of blood sugar. As a result, the sugar component in the blood increases absolutely, leading to the onset of the disease.

[0004] Normally, blood contains a certain concentration of glucose, and tissue cells obtain energy from it.

[0005] However, when glucose increases more than necessary, it is not properly stored in the liver, muscles, or fat cells, etc., but accumulates in the blood. As a result, diabetic patients maintain much higher blood sugar levels than normal people. Excessive blood sugar passes through tissues and is excreted in urine, resulting in a deficiency of the sugar that is absolutely necessary for each tissue of the body, causing abnormalities in each tissue of the body.

[0006] Diabetes is characterized by few symptoms in the early stages. However, as the disease progresses, specific symptoms such as excessive thirst, excessive hunger, polyuria, weight loss, general malaise, itchy skin, non-healing and persistent wounds on the hands and feet may appear. If the disease progresses further, complications such as visual impairment, hypertension, kidney disease, stroke, periodontal disease, muscle cramps and neuralgia, and gangrene may occur.

[0007] In order to diagnose such diabetes and manage it so that it does not progress to complications, systematic blood glucose measurement and treatment must be carried out in parallel.

[0008] Diabetes requires continuous blood glucose measurement for management, and the demand for devices related to blood glucose measurement is constantly increasing. It has been confirmed through various studies that when diabetic patients strictly control blood glucose regulation, the occurrence of secondary diseases of diabetes is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is very important for diabetic patients to regularly measure blood glucose for blood glucose regulation.

[0009] A blood sampling type blood glucose meter (finger prick method) is generally mainly used for blood glucose management of diabetic patients. Although such a blood sampling type blood glucose meter helps in blood glucose management of diabetic patients, there is a problem that it is difficult to accurately grasp the frequently changing blood glucose values because only the result at the time of measurement appears. In addition, the blood sampling type blood glucose meter requires blood sampling each time for measuring blood glucose at any time of the day, which poses a great burden on diabetic patients for blood sampling.

[0010] Diabetic patients generally alternate between hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic states, and emergency situations occur in the hypoglycemic state. The hypoglycemic state occurs when sugar is not sustained for a long time and may result in loss of consciousness or, in the worst case, loss of life. Therefore, it is very important for diabetic patients to detect the hypoglycemic state immediately. However, the blood sampling type blood glucose meter that measures blood glucose intermittently has obvious limitations.

[0011] To overcome the limitations of such blood glucose meters for blood sampling, a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) that is inserted into the human body and measures blood glucose at regular intervals has been developed, and it can be used to easily manage diabetic patients and handle emergencies.

[0012] The continuous glucose monitoring system includes a sensor transmitter that is attached to the user's body part to extract body fluid and generate blood glucose biological information, and a communication terminal that calculates and outputs a blood glucose value from the transmitted blood glucose biological information. The sensor transmitter is equipped with a continuous glucose monitoring sensor that is partially inserted into the human body. The sensor extracts the user's body fluid while being inserted into the human body for a certain period, for example, approximately 15 days. The sensor transmitter periodically generates blood glucose biological information from the extracted body fluid. A blood glucose management application is installed on the communication terminal, which periodically receives the blood glucose biological information from the sensor transmitter, calibrates the received blood glucose biological information, and outputs it to the user.

[0013] Here, the sensor transmitter is manufactured by assembling the sensor and the transmitter during the manufacturing process as an assembly of the continuous glucose monitoring sensor and the transmitter.

[0014] Even if the continuous glucose monitoring sensors are produced in the same factory, due to the production process or the manufacturing process of the sensors, the initial calibration information such as sensor sensitivity and offset will be different from each other. Therefore, after the user attaches the sensor transmitter to the body and measures the blood glucose biological information, the user must calibrate the sensor using the initial calibration information first.

[0015] Typically, after activating the blood glucose management application, the user directly inputs the initial calibration information printed on the packaging paper of the sensor transmitter into the communication terminal to initially calibrate the sensor. However, for the elderly, the weak, and users who are not accustomed to the blood glucose management application, there is inconvenience in inputting the initial calibration information, and there are problems such as entering incorrect initial calibration information or making mistakes during the input process and being unable to obtain accurate blood glucose values.

[0016] On the other hand, the sensor transmitter is produced by assembling the sensor and the transmitter. In the case where a part of the sensor or the transmitter has defects during the manufacturing process, it is necessary to check whether the same sensors or transmitters using the same parts are used, recall the problematic sensor transmitter, or notify the user to interrupt the use of the defective sensor transmitter.

[0034] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a continuous blood glucose measurement system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, a continuous blood glucose measurement system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensor transmitter 10 and a communication terminal 30.

[0036] The sensor transmitter 10 is attached to the body. When the sensor transmitter 10 is attached to the body, one end of the sensor of the sensor transmitter 10 is inserted into the skin to periodically extract the body fluid of the human body and measure the blood glucose biological information. Here, the sensor transmitter is composed of a sensor that is inserted into the skin to extract the body fluid and a transmitter that transmits the blood glucose biological information to the communication terminal 30 after measuring the blood glucose biological information from the body fluid. At the factory, the sensor and the transmitter are assembled with each other to manufacture the sensor transmitter, and the sensor transmitter is mounted on an applicator (not shown) that attaches the sensor transmitter to the body again.

[0037] After the user takes out the applicator with the wrapping paper and positions the applicator at the body part where the sensor transmitter is to be mounted, the user uses the applicator to place the sensor transmitter on the skin.

[0038] After the sensor transmitter 10 is completely placed on the skin, the sensor transmitter 10 and the communication terminal communicate with each other to transmit and receive the blood glucose biological information measured by the sensor transmitter 10.

[0039] In order to connect the sensor transmitter 10 and the communication terminal 30 to each other, the user activates the blood glucose management application installed on the communication terminal 30, then decodes the quality control code of the label attached to the applicator or the wrapping paper to obtain the connection information, and automatically connects the communication between the sensor transmitter 10 and the communication terminal 30 based on the obtained connection information. Here, the serial number of the sensor transmitter, the PIN code, etc. can be used as the connection information.

[0040] After the communication terminal 30 is communicatively connected to the sensor transmitter 10, it periodically receives blood glucose biometric information from the sensor transmitter 10, calibrates the received blood glucose biometric information, and displays the generated blood glucose value to the user. The communication terminal can be a terminal device that can communicate with the sensor transmitter 10, such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, or a notebook. Of course, the communication terminal 30 is not limited to this, and any type of terminal device can be used as long as it includes a communication function and can have programs and applications installed.

[0041] Here, the sensor transmitter 10 and the communication terminal 30 can be communicatively connected to each other either by wire using a USB cable or the like, or by wireless communication methods such as infrared communication, NFC communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0042] The communication terminal 30 requires calibration information used to calibrate the blood glucose biometric information received from the sensor transmitter 10. Desirably, through the blood glucose management application, the quality control code is decoded and the calibration information of the sensor is also obtained together, and the blood glucose biometric information is calibrated based on the obtained calibration information of the sensor.

[0043] As described above, the sensor transmitter is attached to a part of the body through an applicator. FIGS. 2 and 3 are drawings for explaining the process of attaching the sensor transmitter to the human body using the applicator.

[0044] The applicator 130 has the sensor transmitter 10 inside and operates to eject the sensor transmitter 10 to the outside by the user's operation and attach it to a specific body part of the user. The applicator 130 is formed in a shape with one side open, and the sensor transmitter 10 is installed in the applicator 130 through the open side of the applicator 130.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 for a more detailed view of the process of attaching the sensor transmitter 10 to the body, with the protective cap separated, the open side of the applicator 130 is brought into close contact with a specific part of the body, the skin 20. With the applicator 130 in this state of being in close contact with the body's skin 20, when the applicator 130 is activated, the sensor transmitter 110 can be attached to the skin 20 while being discharged by the applicator 130. Here, one end of the sensor 12 is exposed and arranged in the sensor transmitter 10 at the lower part of the sensor transmitter 10, and a part of one end of the sensor 12 is inserted into the skin 20 through a needle provided in the applicator 130. Therefore, with one end of the sensor 12 inserted into the skin 20, the sensor transmitter 10 can be attached to the skin 20.

[0046] Here, an adhesive tape can be provided on the body contact surface of the sensor transmitter 10 so that the sensor transmitter 10 can be fixedly attached to the body's skin 20. Therefore, when the applicator 130 is separated from the body's skin 20, the sensor transmitter 10 will be in a state of being fixedly attached to the body's skin 20 by the adhesive tape.

[0047] Thereafter, when power is applied to the sensor transmitter 10, the sensor transmitter 10 will establish a communication connection with the communication terminal 30, and the sensor transmitter 10 will send the measured blood glucose information to the communication terminal.

[0048] The sensor transmitter 10 can measure not only blood glucose information but also various biological information. Hereinafter, it will be described by taking the measurement of blood glucose information as an example of biological information.

[0049] FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining the manufacturing process of the sensor transmitter according to the present invention.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 4 in detail, a transfer belt 210 is driven in the manufacturing factory of the sensor transmitter, and a plurality of trays 230 filled with continuous blood glucose measurement sensors 241 and transmitters 243 will move along the transfer belt 210.

[0051] The reading camera 250 is arranged at the upper end of the transfer belt 210 to read the production information of the sensor 241 or the transmitter 243 placed in the tray 230 moving along the transfer belt 210. Depending on the field to which the present invention is applied, a portable reading device for an operator to directly read the production information of the sensor 241 or the transmitter 243 can be used instead of the reading camera 250 arranged at the upper end of the transfer belt 210.

[0052] After obtaining the production information of the sensor 241 and the transmitter 243 placed in the tray 230 moving along the transfer belt 210, the operator will assemble the sensor 241 and the transmitter 243 placed in the tray 230 to manufacture the sensor transmitter 240.

[0053] FIG. 5 shows an example of the sensor and the transmitter placed in the tray 230. As shown in FIG. 5(a), the sensor 241 is composed of a first part 241-1 formed with an electrode connected to the transmitter and a second part 241-3 inserted into the skin. A sensor identifier 241-5 having the production information of the sensor is formed on the first part 241-1. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the transmitter 243 is provided with a housing made of an upper housing 243-1 and a lower housing 243-3. Inside the housing, a plurality of components for inserting the sensor 241, generating blood glucose biological information from the body fluid extracted by the sensor, and transmitting the blood glucose biological information to the communication terminal are provided. A transmitter identifier 243-5 having the production information of the transmitter is formed on one side of the upper housing 243-1 of the transmitter.

[0054] Looking at Figure 4 in detail again, the manufacturing terminal (not shown) maps the production information obtained from the sensors 241 and transmitters 243 placed on the tray 230 to generate quality management information, and the manufacturing terminal generates a quality management code with the quality management information and then generates a label with the quality management code. Here, the label can be generated using a QR code (registered trademark), bar code, RFID, etc. Here, the quality management code can be generated to include only the production information of the transmitter among the quality management information, or to include all of the production information of the transmitter and the production information of the sensor.

[0055] The manufacturer will assemble the manufactured sensor transmitter 240 onto an applicator (not shown), and after assembling the sensor transmitter 240 onto the applicator, attach the label generated on one side of the applicator.

[0056] The label attached to the applicator can be regenerated in subsequent sterilization processes, packaging processes, etc., and attached to the primary packaging paper for sterilization, secondary packaging paper for shipment, etc., and sold to users.

[0057] After activating the blood glucose management application of the communication terminal, the user can obtain the production information of the sensor or the production information of the transmitter from the labels attached to the applicator, primary packaging paper, secondary packaging paper for shipment, etc., and can calibrate the blood glucose biometric information using the production information of the sensor, or can easily connect to the communication terminal using the production information of the transmitter.

[0058] Here, when the manufacturing terminal (not shown) generates quality management information, it can transmit the quality management information to the manufacturing company management server. The manufacturing company management server can monitor the distribution route or sales route of the sensor transmitter based on the quality management information, or use it for quality management of the sensor transmitter, or can easily track defective sensor transmitters.

[0059] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining messages transmitted and received among the manufacturing terminal, the management server, and the communication terminal in the present invention.

[0060] Here, the manufacturing terminal is a terminal arranged in a manufacturing factory of a sensor transmitter and used to generate quality management information of the sensor transmitter. The management server provides a blood glucose management application and means a server that performs the distribution route or defect processing of the sensor transmitter using the quality management information. However, the manufacturing terminal, the management server, and the communication terminal are connected to each other through a wired or wireless network.

[0061] Looking more specifically and in detail with reference to FIG. 6, the manufacturing terminal that has generated quality management information during the manufacturing process of the sensor transmitter transmits the quality management information of the sensor transmitter to the management server (S10).

[0062] The sensor transmitter can be produced by sensors having different characteristics from each other in multiple factories. However, the management server stores quality management information for the sensor transmitters manufactured in each factory.

[0063] Desirably, the manufacturing terminal can generate quality management information including not only the production information of the sensor and the production information of the transmitter but also the manufacturing time of the sensor transmitter, the factory identifier that manufactured the sensor transmitter, etc., and transmit the generated quality management information to the management server.

[0064] The user can transmit membership information for connecting to the management server using the communication terminal to the management server to register as a member (S30). The user can transmit membership information such as the user's name, user identifier, age, address, nationality, contact information, etc. to register as a member.

[0065] Afterwards, when the user attempts to use a new sensor transmitter, the user activates the blood glucose management application on the communication terminal and obtains the production information of the sensor or the production information of the transmitter from the quality control code on the label attached to the applicator or the wrapping paper, etc., and transmits the obtained production information of the sensor or the production information of the transmitter together with the member information to the management server (S50).

[0066] The management server maps and stores the production information of the sensor or the production information of the transmitter received from the communication terminal to the member information. By mapping and storing the quality control information of the sensor transmitter stored in the management server and the member information of the members who actually use the corresponding sensor transmitter, it is possible to monitor the distribution route or sales route such as in which country the sensor transmitter is being used, or to receive from the communication terminal the reference blood glucose value measured through the blood glucose meter and the blood glucose biological information measured through the continuous blood glucose monitor together with the quality control information of the sensor transmitter to manage the quality such as the accuracy of the sensor transmitter, or to easily track the defective sensor transmitter.

[0067] Afterwards, when a defective message of the sensor transmitter is received through the communication terminal (S70), based on the defective message, it is possible to send alarm information requesting interruption of the use of the sensor transmitter that is the same as the sensor transmitter for which the defective message was received, or the sensor transmitter manufactured by the transmitter using the same parts, or the sensor transmitter used by the communication terminal of the purchaser who purchased it (S90). The user can interrupt the use of the sensor transmitter being used based on the alarm information, or the user can replace the purchased sensor transmitter with a new sensor transmitter.

[0068] Here, the error message can be sent directly to the user through the communication terminal at the user's request, or when monitoring the blood glucose biometric information measured by the communication terminal or the communication failure with the sensor transmitter and detecting an abnormality, it can be automatically sent to the management server.

[0069] Figure 7 shows an example of the quality management information stored in the management server according to the present invention. Looking at it in detail with reference to Figure 7, sensor information, transmitter information, and other information are stored in the management server with mutual mapping. The sensor information includes the lot information 0001, 0002 of the corresponding sensor, calibration information 0.05, 0.45, the sensor manufacturing date, etc. The transmitter information includes the unique serial numbers 100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, 200A, 200B, 200C of the corresponding transmitter, the pin numbers 1234, 1234 of the corresponding transmitter, the manufacturing date of the corresponding transmitter, etc. The other information includes the factory identifier (Factory A, Factory B) where the corresponding sensor transmitter was manufactured, whether the corresponding sensor transmitter is being used or the user information (name, nationality, address, etc.) purchased by the user, which are stored with mutual mapping.

[0070] In this way, information about the sensor, transmitter, and sensor transmitter is stored in the management server with mutual mapping. For example, when a sensor transmitter used by user Hong Gil-dong is found to be defective, an alarm warning can be sent to other users using the same sensor or transmitter to reduce the damage caused by incorrect blood glucose measurement.

[0071] Also, when it is necessary to change the sensor calibration information of the sensor transmitter used by the user, new calibration information can be sent to the communication terminals of users using the same sensor so that the blood glucose value can be accurately monitored.

[0072] In addition, based on the nationality and domicile of the users who use the sensor transmitters manufactured at each factory, it is possible to easily grasp the distribution route of the corresponding sensor transmitters, the preference for sensor transmitters by nationality and domicile, and so on.

[0073] FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram for explaining an example of a manufacturing terminal according to the present invention.

[0074] Looking more specifically and in detail with reference to FIG. 8, the sensor information acquisition unit 110 acquires sensor production information from a continuous blood glucose measurement sensor placed in a tray moving along a transfer belt. Here, the sensor information acquisition unit 110 can use a camera that decodes a sensor identifier formed on the sensor, but depending on the field to which the present invention is applied, various decoding devices for decoding the sensor identifier can be used according to the type of the sensor identifier.

[0075] The transmitter acquisition unit 130 acquires transmitter production information from a transmitter placed in a tray moving along a transfer belt. Here, the transmitter acquisition unit 130 can use a camera that decodes a transmitter identifier formed on the transmitter, but depending on the field to which the present invention is applied, various decoding devices for decoding the transmitter identifier can be used according to the type of the transmitter identifier. For example, the production information of the transmitter can be stored in the memory of the transmitter, but it is possible to connect to the transmitter by wire or wirelessly and acquire the production information of the transmitter from the memory of the transmitter.

[0076] When acquiring the production information of the sensor and the production information of the transmitter, the information generation unit 150 maps the production information of the sensor and the production information of the transmitter to each other to generate quality control information, and stores the generated quality control information in the storage unit 170. Desirably, the information generation unit 150 can generate a quality control code capable of reading the quality control information, and can provide a label having the quality control code to a separate label generation unit (not shown). The label generation unit can generate a label so that only the production information of the transmitter among the quality control information can be read from the quality control code, or all of the production information of the transmitter and the production information of the sensor can be read.

[0077] When the period set for the quality control information stored in the storage unit 170 arrives, or when the number of quality control information stored in the storage unit 170 is counted and the set number of quality control information is stored in the storage unit 170, the control unit 180 transmits it to the management server through the communication unit 190. Desirably, the control unit 180 can include the manufacturing date of the sensor transmitter, the factory identifier that manufactured the sensor transmitter, etc. in the quality control information and transmit it to the management server.

[0078] Desirably, the control unit 180 can control to store the generated quality control information in the memory of the transmitter. Among the memories of the transmitter, the production information of the sensor can be stored in the first area, and the production information of the transmitter can be separately stored in the second area among the memories of the transmitter.

[0079] Therefore, the user can directly obtain the production information of the sensor and the production information of the transmitter by reading the label through the blood glucose management application of the communication terminal, but read the label to obtain the production information of the transmitter, such as the serial number, pin code, etc., and connect the communication between the sensor transmitter and the communication terminal, and then automatically receive the production information of the sensor stored in the memory of the transmitter, such as calibration information, lot information, production date, etc. from the sensor transmitter.

[0080] FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a method of manufacturing a sensor transmitter according to the present invention.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 9 in detail, production information of the sensor is obtained from the sensor (S110). Desirably, the production information of the sensor can be obtained through a sensor identifier formed on the sensor, and here, the production information of the sensor can include lot information including the characteristics of the sensor, the manufacturing factory of the sensor, the manufacturing date of the sensor, calibration information of the sensor, and the like.

[0082] Production information of the transmitter is obtained from the transmitter (S130). Desirably, the production information of the transmitter can be obtained through a transmitter identifier formed on the transmitter or through the memory of the transmitter, and here, the production information of the transmitter can include the manufacturing factory of the transmitter, the manufacturing date of the transmitter, the serial number of the transmitter, the pin number of the transmitter, the production date of the transmitter, and the like.

[0083] The obtained production information of the sensor and the production information of the transmitter are mapped to each other to generate quality control information of the sensor transmitter (S150). When the quality control information is generated, at least one label having a quality control code indicating the quality control information is generated by the manufacturing process of the sensor transmitter, and the generated label is attached to an applicator or attached to wrapping paper by the manufacturing process of the sensor transmitter (S170).

[0084] On the other hand, the generated quality control information of the sensor transmitter is transmitted to a management server (S190).

[0085] On the other hand, the above-described embodiments of the present invention can be created by a program executable on a computer and can be embodied in a general-purpose digital computer that operates the program using a computer-readable recording medium.

[0086] The computer-readable recording medium includes a magnetic storage medium (e.g., ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), an optical reading medium (e.g., CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) and a storage medium such as a carrier wave (e.g., transmission through the Internet).

[0087] The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, which are merely exemplary, and those having ordinary knowledge in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims for registration.
