[Effects of the Invention]
[0009] According to this disclosure, it is possible to prevent a defibrillator from operating in an unintended mode. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0010] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows an example of a defibrillator management system according to the present disclosure. [Figure 2]Figure 2 shows an example of the management details screen displayed on the monitor of the administrator terminal shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 shows an example of the list screen displayed on the monitor of the administrator terminal shown in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0011] The defibrillator management system described herein will be explained below with reference to the drawings. For the sake of clarity, the explanation of components having the same reference numeral as those already described in the description of the embodiments will be omitted. Furthermore, the dimensions of the components shown in these drawings may differ from the actual dimensions of the components, for the sake of clarity.
[0012] [Defibrillator Management System] This section describes the configuration of the defibrillator management system 100 according to this disclosure. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of the defibrillator management system 100 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the defibrillator management system 100 comprises a defibrillator (hereinafter referred to as "AED") 1 that performs discharge processing on a subject, and a management server (management device) 50, and these devices are connected to each other via a wireless base station 20 and a communication network 21. Wireless communication such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) is performed between each AED 1 and the wireless base station 20.
[0013] AED1 periodically performs a self-test to diagnose whether it is functioning correctly, that is, whether its condition is normal or abnormal. AED1 then transmits the results of the self-test to the management server 50 via the wireless base station 20 and the communication network 21.
[0014] The AED 1 can switch between an adult mode for performing a discharge process suitable for an adult subject and a preschool child mode for performing a discharge process suitable for a preschool child subject. Also, for example, when performing a self-test, the AED 1 checks which of the adult mode and the preschool child mode the current setting mode is. Then, the AED 1 includes the mode information indicating the current setting mode in the result of the self-test and transmits it to the management server 50.
[0015] Note that the AED 1 may not have a function of checking the current setting mode. In such a case, the AED 1 includes, for example, mode information indicating that the current setting mode is unknown in the result of the self-test and transmits it.
[0016] The management server 50 is a server that manages the AED 1 and is communicably connected to the administrator terminal 60 and the user terminal 61 via the communication network 21. The administrator terminal 60 is, for example, a terminal device operated by an administrator K belonging to an organization that performs maintenance management of the AED 1. The user terminal 61 is, for example, a terminal device operated by a user U on the installation facility side of the AED 1 and is registered in the management server 50 in association with the AED 1.
[0017] More specifically, the management server 50 includes a communication unit 31, an information processing unit 32, and a storage unit 33. The communication unit 31 functions as an interface for the management server 50 to communicate with external communication devices such as the administrator terminal 60 and the user terminal 61. For example, the communication unit 31 receives the result of the self-test transmitted from each AED 1 and stores the received result of the self-test in the storage unit 33.
[0018] The storage unit 33 is a means for storing various information and is realized by, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), etc. The information processing unit 32 performs various processes related to the management of the AED 1.
[0019] For example, the information processing unit 32 refers to the results of the self-test stored in the storage unit 33 and detects one or more AEDs 1 in which an abnormality has occurred. Then, the information processing unit 32 transmits information indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the detected AED 1 to the user terminal 61 associated with each detected AED 1. Thereby, it is possible to notify the user U on the installation facility side of the AED 1 that an abnormality has occurred in the AED 1.
[0020] In addition, the information processing unit 32 may transmit information indicating one or more AEDs 1 in which an abnormality has occurred to the administrator terminal 60. Thereby, it is possible to notify the administrator K belonging to the organization that conservatively manages the AED 1 of one or more AEDs 1 in which an abnormality has occurred.
[0021] [Display of screen] (Display of management details screen) The administrator terminal 60 can display a management details screen G1 showing the results of the self-test of the AED 1 on the monitor of the administrator terminal 60 according to the operation by the administrator K. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the management details screen G1 displayed on the monitor of the administrator terminal 60 shown in FIG. 1.
[0022] More specifically, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, it is assumed that the administrator K designates one of a plurality of AEDs 1 that are the management targets of the defibrillator management system 100, and further performs a predetermined operation for displaying the management details screen G1 on the administrator terminal 60. In this case, the administrator terminal 60 transmits operation information indicating the operation content of the administrator K to the management server 50.
[0023] When the communication unit 31 in the management server 50 receives operation information transmitted from the administrator terminal 60, it outputs the operation information to the information processing unit 32. Upon receiving the operation information from the communication unit 31, the information processing unit 32 identifies the AED1 specified by administrator K based on the operation information and reads the self-test result of the identified AED1 from the self-test results stored in the storage unit 33. The information processing unit 32 then generates screen data for the management details screen G1 that shows the read self-test result.
[0024] At this time, the self-test results read out include mode information indicating the setting mode of the AED1, as described above. The information processing unit 32 checks this mode information to determine whether the current setting mode of the AED1 specified by administrator K is the preschooler mode. If the current setting mode of the AED1 is the preschooler mode, the information processing unit 32 generates screen data such that the display of the setting mode on the management details screen G1 is different from the display when it is in adult mode.
[0025] The information processing unit 32 then transmits the generated screen data to the administrator terminal 60 via the communication unit 31 and the communication network 21. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the management server 50, the administrator terminal 60 displays the management details screen G1 shown in Figure 2 on its monitor based on the screen data.
[0026] For example, the management details screen G1 includes product information such as the AED1 model name, serial number, battery type, and lot number. Furthermore, the management details screen G1 also includes device information such as whether the AED1 is functioning normally or abnormally, whether it is being monitored or not, battery level, battery expiration date, electrode pad expiration date, current setting mode, temperature, presence or absence of malfunctions, update date of self-test results, and installation location.
[0027] Here, we assume that the current setting mode of AED1, as specified by administrator K, is preschooler mode. In this case, on the management details screen G1, for example, the words "Preschooler Mode" will be displayed in red in the setting mode field. In Figure 2, to indicate that it is displayed in red, the words "Preschooler Mode" are shown in bold and hatched around the text.
[0028] On the other hand, if the current setting mode of the AED1 is adult mode, the management details screen G1 will display, for example, the setting mode field in black text, such as "Elementary school student ~ Adult mode". Also, if the current setting mode of the AED1 is unknown, the management details screen G1 will display, for example, a "-" (hyphen) in the setting mode field.
[0029] Alternatively, instead of displaying the words "Preschool Mode" in red, or in addition to displaying them in red, the background color of the words "Preschool Mode" may be different from the background color of the words "Adult Mode," or the words "Preschool Mode" may flash.
[0030] With the configuration described above, administrator K can understand the results of the self-test and the current setting mode of any AED1 by checking the management details screen G1 displayed on the administrator terminal 60. In particular, if the current setting mode of the AED1 is preschooler mode, it is displayed in a way that highlights this fact, making it easier for administrator K to be aware that the current setting mode is preschooler mode.
[0031] Furthermore, the management details screen G1, as shown in Figure 2, can be displayed not only on the administrator terminal 60 but also on the user terminal 61. For example, when user U performs a predetermined operation on the user terminal 61 to display the management details screen G1, the user terminal 61 sends operation information indicating the content of user U's operation to the management server 50.
[0032] When the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 receives operation information transmitted from the user terminal 61 via the communication unit 31, it identifies the AED1 corresponding to the user terminal 61 that sent the operation information, and generates screen data for the management details screen G1 of that AED1 in the same manner as described above. The information processing unit 32 then transmits the generated screen data to the user terminal 61 via the communication unit 31 and the communication network 21.
[0033] When user terminal 61 receives screen data transmitted from management server 50, it displays the management details screen G1, as shown in Figure 2, on the monitor of user terminal 61 based on the screen data. This allows user U to understand the results of the AED1's self-test and its current setting mode by checking the management details screen G1 displayed on user terminal 61. In particular, if the current setting mode of AED1 is preschooler mode, it is displayed in a way that emphasizes that it is preschooler mode, making it easier for user U to be aware that the current setting mode is preschooler mode.
[0034] (Displaying the list screen) Furthermore, the administrator terminal 60 can display a list screen G2 on its monitor, showing a list of the self-test results of multiple AED1s, in response to an operation by administrator K. Figure 3 shows an example of the list screen G2 displayed on the monitor of the administrator terminal 60 shown in Figure 1.
[0035] For more details, refer to Figures 1 and 3, and assume that administrator K performs a predetermined operation on administrator terminal 60 to display list screen G2. In this case, administrator terminal 60 transmits operation information indicating the content of administrator K's operation to management server 50. When the communication unit 31 of management server 50 receives the operation information transmitted from administrator terminal 60, it outputs the operation information to information processing unit 32.
[0036] When the information processing unit 32 receives the above operation information from the communication unit 31, it reads the self-test results of each AED1 stored in the memory unit 33. The information processing unit 32 then generates screen data for a list screen G2 that displays a list of the read self-test results.
[0037] At this time, the information processing unit 32 identifies one or more AED1s whose current setting mode is preschooler mode by checking the mode information included in the self-test results of each AED1, similar to when generating the screen data for the management details screen G1 shown in Figure 2. Then, for AED1s whose current setting mode is preschooler mode, the information processing unit 32 generates screen data such that the display of the setting mode on the list screen G2 is different from that when it is in adult mode.
[0038] The information processing unit 32 then transmits the generated screen data to the administrator terminal 60 via the communication unit 31 and the communication network 21. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the management server 50, the administrator terminal 60 displays a list screen G2, as shown in Figure 3, on its monitor based on the screen data.
[0039] For example, the list screen G2 includes information such as the AED1's installation location, model name, serial number, whether the AED1 is normal or abnormal, whether it is being monitored or not, battery level, battery expiration date, electrode pad expiration date, current setting mode, temperature, presence or absence of malfunction, and the update date of the self-test results.
[0040] Furthermore, on the list screen G2, the text "Preschool Mode" will be displayed in red, for example, in the item column for each AED1 setting mode that has been confirmed to be in preschool mode. In Figure 3, as in Figure 2, the text "Preschool Mode" is shown in bold and hatched around the text to indicate that it will be displayed in red.
[0041] On the other hand, on the list screen G2, the setting mode column for each AED1 that has been confirmed to be in adult mode will display text such as "Elementary School Student ~ Adult Mode" in black. Also, on the list screen G2, the setting mode column for each AED1 whose current setting mode is unknown will display a hyphen such as "-".
[0042] With the configuration described above, administrator K can check the list screen G2 displayed on administrator terminal 60 to understand the results of the self-tests of the multiple AED1s under management, as well as the current setting mode of each AED1. In particular, if there is an AED1 that is in preschool mode, it will be displayed in a way that highlights that it is in preschool mode, so that administrator K can be more reliably notified of the AED1 that is currently set to preschool mode.
[0043] Furthermore, the list screen G2, like the management details screen G1 shown in Figure 2, can be displayed not only on the administrator terminal 60 but also on the user terminal 61. For example, when user U performs a predetermined operation on the user terminal 61 to display the list screen G2, the user terminal 61 sends operation information indicating the content of user U's operation to the management server 50.
[0044] When the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 receives operation information transmitted from the user terminal 61 via the communication unit 31, it generates screen data for the list screen G2 in the same manner as described above. The information processing unit 32 then transmits the generated screen data to the user terminal 61 via the communication unit 31 and the communication network 21.
[0045] When user terminal 61 receives screen data transmitted from management server 50, it displays a list screen G2, as shown in Figure 3, on its monitor based on the screen data. This allows user U to understand the self-test results of each AED1 and the current setting mode of each AED1 by checking the list screen G2 displayed on user terminal 61. In particular, as described above, if there is an AED1 in preschooler mode, it is displayed in a way that highlights that it is in preschooler mode. Therefore, if the current setting mode of the AED1 corresponding to user U's user terminal 61 is preschooler mode, user U can be more reliably informed of the current setting mode of that AED1.
[0046] Furthermore, even if the administrator K has not performed the prescribed operation to display the management details screen G1 or the list screen G2, the management server 50 may, for example, periodically send screen data of at least one of the management details screen G1 and the list screen G2 to the administrator terminal 60. Also, even if the user U has not performed the prescribed operation to display the management details screen G1 or the list screen G2, the management server 50 may, for example, periodically send screen data of at least one of the management details screen G1 and the list screen G2 to the user terminal 61.
[0047] [Notifications via email, etc.] Furthermore, the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 periodically checks, for example, the results of the self-tests of each AED1 stored in the memory unit 33, and identifies the AED1 whose current setting mode is the preschool child mode. The information processing unit 32 then notifies the associated user terminal 61 of the current setting mode for each identified AED1.
[0048] Specifically, the information processing unit 32 sends an email or similar message to the user terminal 61 containing the results of the self-test along with the message, "The AED installed at XX is set to preschooler mode. Please set it to elementary school student / adult mode." This prompts the user U at the facility where the AED1 is installed to set it to adult mode.
[0049] In facilities related to preschool children, such as nurseries, kindergartens, pediatric clinics, and childcare support facilities, the AED1's setting mode may be intentionally set to preschool child mode. Therefore, the management server 50 accepts a stop operation to stop notifications of the current setting mode.
[0050] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the management details screen G1 of the AED1 displays a checkbox CB to indicate that it has been intentionally set to preschool mode. In addition to the above text, emails sent from the management server 50 to the user terminal 61 include text such as, "If you have intentionally set it to preschool mode, please check the [Use in preschool mode] checkbox on the management details screen."
[0051] Then, while the management details screen G1 is displayed on the user terminal 61, suppose user U performs a stop operation on the user terminal 61 by checking the checkbox CB. In this case, user terminal 61 sends operation information indicating the operation performed by user U to the management server 50.
[0052] When the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 receives the above operation information, it stores the operation information in the storage unit 33. Then, for the AED1 that has been stopped, the information processing unit 32 stops notifying the associated user terminal 61 of the current setting mode, i.e., stopping the sending of emails, etc., as described above. This prevents the facility, which has intentionally set the AED1's setting mode to preschooler mode, from repeatedly sending notifications of the current setting mode.
[0053] Furthermore, suppose user U performs an operation on user terminal 61 to uncheck the checkbox CB while the management details screen G1 is displayed on user terminal 61. In this case, user terminal 61 sends operation information indicating the operation performed by user U to management server 50.
[0054] When the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 receives the above operation information, it stores the operation information in the storage unit 33. In this case, the information processing unit 32 resumes notifying the user terminal 61 associated with the AED1 of the current setting mode, i.e., sending emails or the like described above.
[0055] Furthermore, the above-described stopping operation may be performed not only on the user terminal 61 but also on the administrator terminal 60. For example, administrator K, at the request of the facility where the AED1 is installed, can stop notifications to the user terminal 61 corresponding to the AED1 by performing the stopping operation on the administrator terminal 60.
[0056] [Example 1] The information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 may be configured to determine whether or not a facility where an AED1 is installed is related to preschool children, based on information about the facility where the AED1 is installed that has been registered in advance. For example, the information processing unit 32 may refer to the results of a self-test stored in the memory unit 33 and perform terminology determination on the name of the facility where the AED1 is installed to determine whether or not the facility where the AED1 is installed is related to preschool children.
[0057] The information processing unit 32 then determines, based on the determination result, whether the current setting mode of the AED1 is suitable for the facility where the AED1 is installed. For example, suppose an AED1 whose current setting mode is preschooler mode is installed in a facility unrelated to preschoolers, such as a train station, a commercial facility, or an elementary school. In such a case, the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 determines that the current setting mode of the AED1 is not suitable for the installation facility.
[0058] Furthermore, for example, suppose an AED1 currently set to adult mode is installed in a facility related to preschool children, such as a nursery school, kindergarten, pediatric clinic, or childcare support facility. In such a case, the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 will determine that the current setting mode of the AED1 is not suitable for the facility where it is installed.
[0059] If the management server 50 determines that the current configuration mode of the AED1 is not suitable for the installation facility, it notifies the user terminal 61 associated with the AED1 of the current configuration mode of the AED1 by sending an email or the like.
[0060] In this way, the management server 50 can determine whether the current setting mode of the AED1 is appropriate for the installation facility, thereby estimating whether the current setting mode was set intentionally. If it is estimated that the current setting mode was not set intentionally, the current setting mode can be notified to the user terminal 61, prompting it to set a mode more appropriate for the installation facility.
[0061] The management server 50 may also be configured to send to the AED1 whether or not the current setting mode of the AED1 is suitable for the installation facility. In such a configuration, if the current setting mode of the AED1 is deemed unsuitable for the installation facility, the AED1, upon receiving the determination result, can notify the user U at the facility that the setting mode is inappropriate by outputting an alarm, for example, when performing a self-test or when the power is switched off.
[0062] [Differentiation 2] Furthermore, the information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 may be configured to detect when the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed. For example, when a new self-test result from the AED1 is stored in the storage unit 33, the information processing unit 32 checks the mode information included in the new self-test result with the mode information included in the previous self-test result received from the AED1. If the setting modes indicated by these mode information are different, the information processing unit 32 determines that the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed.
[0063] Then, if the information processing unit 32 determines that the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed, it notifies the user terminal 61 associated with the AED1, for example, by sending an email or the like, that the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed. This allows the user U at the facility where the AED1 is installed to be aware that the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed.
[0064] As described above, the defibrillator management system 100 includes an AED1 that performs discharge processing on a patient and a management server 50 that manages the AED1. The AED1 can switch between an adult mode that performs discharge processing suitable for when the patient is an adult and a preschooler mode that performs discharge processing suitable for when the patient is a preschooler, and transmits mode information to the management server 50 indicating whether the current setting mode is adult mode or preschooler mode.
[0065] With this configuration, the management server 50 can determine the current setting mode of the AED1. For example, by notifying the facility where the AED1 is installed that the current setting mode of the AED1 is preschool child mode, it is possible to prevent the AED1 from operating in an unintended mode.
[0066] Furthermore, in the defibrillator management system 100, the management server 50 identifies the AED1 whose current setting mode is preschooler mode based on the mode information, and notifies the user terminal 61 associated with the identified AED1 of the current setting mode.
[0067] This configuration allows facilities that have installed an AED1 in preschooler mode to prompt them to switch to adult mode.
[0068] Furthermore, in the defibrillator management system 100, the management server 50 accepts a stop operation to stop the notification of the current setting mode, and if the stop operation is performed, it stops the notification of the current setting mode to the user terminal 61.
[0069] This configuration prevents facilities that have intentionally set the AED1's setting mode to preschooler mode from repeatedly receiving notifications about the current setting mode.
[0070] Furthermore, in the defibrillator management system 100, the management server 50 determines whether or not a facility where an AED1 is installed is a facility related to preschool children, based on information about the facility where the AED1 is installed that has been registered in advance.
[0071] This configuration allows the management server 50 to estimate whether the current setting mode of AED1 was intentionally set.
[0072] Furthermore, in the defibrillator management system 100, the management server 50 determines whether the current setting mode of the AED1 is suitable for the facility where the AED1 is installed, based on the determination result of whether or not the facility is related to preschool children, and transmits the determination result to the AED1.
[0073] With this configuration, for example, when the AED1 receives a judgment result, it can notify the user U at the facility where the AED1 is installed of the result by outputting an alarm or the like in accordance with the judgment result.
[0074] Furthermore, in the defibrillator management system 100, the management server 50 determines whether the current setting mode of the AED1 is suitable for the facility where the AED1 is installed, based on the determination result of whether or not the facility is related to preschool children. If the management server 50 determines that the current setting mode of the AED1 is not suitable for the facility where the AED1 is installed, it notifies the user terminal 61 associated with the AED1 of the current setting mode of the AED1.
[0075] In this way, by configuring the system to automatically determine whether the current setting mode of the AED1 is suitable for the facility where the AED1 is installed, it is possible to reduce the workload on administrator K on the management server 50 side.
[0076] Furthermore, in the defibrillator management system 100, the management server 50 detects when the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed and notifies the user terminal 61 associated with the AED1 that the setting mode of the AED1 has been changed.
[0077] This configuration allows, for example, a facility where an AED1 is installed to detect if the setting mode of that AED1 has been changed unintentionally.
[0078] The communication unit 31 in the management server 50 receives mode information from AED1 indicating whether the current setting mode of AED1 is adult mode or preschooler mode. The information processing unit 32 in the management server 50 identifies the AED1 whose current setting mode is preschooler mode based on the received mode information and notifies the user terminal 61 associated with the identified AED1 of the current setting mode.
[0079] This configuration allows facilities that have installed an AED1 set to preschooler mode to prompt them to switch to adult mode, thus preventing the AED1 from operating in an unintended mode.
