Description

Electronic device for personalized healthcare and its operating method

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and an operating method thereof, and for example, to an electronic device and an operating method thereof for user-customized healthcare.

[0002] Recent advancements in mobile communication technology have led to the widespread use of portable or mobile electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, wearable electronic devices, mobile terminals, or tablet PCs). Consequently, the services available through these devices are becoming increasingly diverse. These electronic devices, implemented in portable or wearable forms and integrated into users' daily lives, can be effectively utilized for a variety of services.

[0003] For example, an electronic device can continuously monitor a user's biometric data, or data related to exercise, sleep, and / or diet, and provide healthcare services to manage their health.

[0018] FIG. 7 is another example of a user interface for a user-customizable healthcare function of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0019] Healthcare services via electronic devices can primarily be provided in the form of simple monitoring of users' activities in daily life (e.g., measurements, exercise, or sleep) without professional intervention, evaluating the monitoring results according to specified logic, and providing guidance based on the evaluation. In such cases, the professionalism of the guidance content may be diminished.

[0020] Meanwhile, during hospital visits, doctors are unable to access the patient's underlying health information, such as their health status, daily activity level, and the type of associated disease, beyond the patient's medical history and some personal information recorded in the hospital system. This can lead to reduced prescription accuracy or failure to provide ongoing monitoring and health management. Furthermore, even for patients with similar symptoms, individual prescriptions may need to be tailored to each patient's underlying health information.

[0021] From a patient's perspective, it can be difficult to remember and perform specific, timely, and appropriate activities (e.g., regular medication administration, repetitive exercise to improve symptoms, or improving sleep habits) over a relatively long period (e.g., several days or weeks) according to the prescription. This difficulty may be even greater for some patients (e.g., the elderly, children, or foreign nationals).

[0022] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the efficiency and convenience of healthcare services can be improved by combining electronic devices and prescriptions that users (or patients) own or can easily access in their daily lives.

[0023] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, personalized prescriptions can be applied based on the underlying health information of each user (or patient).

[0024] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the professionalism of the guide content for healthcare services can be improved through a verification process, while the guide content according to the prescription in daily life can be provided to users in the form of an intuitive and easy user interface.

[0025] The effects that can be obtained from the present disclosure are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects that are not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs from the description below.

[0064] According to one embodiment, the digital prescription generator (310) may include a hardware structure (e.g., a processor (370) of FIG. 3b) and / or a software structure (e.g., a program, application, or instructions stored in a memory (380) of FIG. 3b).

[0065] In one embodiment, the digital prescription generator (310) and / or the user-tailored information generator (210) may each be implemented in a form that includes a generative artificial intelligence model or in a form to which a generative artificial intelligence model is applied. In some embodiments, the digital prescription generator (310) and the user-tailored information generator (210) may each be implemented to operate in conjunction with different external generative artificial intelligence models. Alternatively, the generative artificial intelligence model of the digital prescription generator (310) and the generative artificial intelligence model of the user-tailored information generator (210) may be implemented in an integrated form.

[0066] According to one embodiment, when a user (or patient) of an electronic device (200) visits a hospital or receives treatment from a doctor via remote access, the doctor can examine the patient, diagnose the patient, and perform treatment if necessary. The external electronic device (300) can record treatment information about the corresponding treatment history in the EMR (330) according to the doctor's input. The digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) can generate (or issue) an initial digital prescription (or primary digital prescription) based on the treatment information recorded in the EMR (330) and basic data (e.g., CDSS (clinical decision support system)) in the local DB (320).

[0067] According to one embodiment, a user-customized information generator (210) of an electronic device (200) may be connected to a digital prescription generator (310) of an external electronic device (300) in communication with the digital prescription generator (310) and transmit the user's personal information to the digital prescription generator (310) through the communication connection. In one embodiment, the personal information may include personal device information (225). In one embodiment, the personal information may further include personal health information (221).

[0068] According to one embodiment, the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) can generate device setting information for a secondary digital prescription and / or a user-customized prescription based on personal information received from the electronic device (200).

[0069] According to one embodiment, the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) may generate a digital prescription (or a secondary digital prescription) that is a modified version of the initial digital prescription (or primary digital prescription) based on personal information (e.g., personal health information (221)) received from the user-customized information generator (210) of the electronic device (200) using a generative artificial intelligence model. For example, the generative artificial intelligence model may analyze the patient's symptoms or prescription designated by the doctor and the doctor's opinion through the initial digital prescription, and generate (or issue) a digital prescription (or a secondary digital prescription) to induce the patient to perform various health activities (e.g., measurement activities, exercise activities, or sleep activities) in daily life from the present to the next visit based on the analysis results and the personal health information (221).

[0070] According to one embodiment, a digital prescription generator (310) of an external electronic device (300) may generate device configuration information for providing a user-customized prescription based on the digital prescription (or secondary digital prescription) and personal information (e.g., personal device information (225)) using a generative artificial intelligence model.

[0071] According to one embodiment, the generative artificial intelligence model of the digital prescription generator (310) may identify one or more devices that can be used for health activities specified in the digital prescription among at least one device registered in the healthcare application of the electronic device (200) based on personal device information (225) received from the user-customized information generator (210). The generative artificial intelligence model may generate device setting information (e.g., prompt information specifying a device-specific execution command) for the identified one or more devices. For example, the generated device setting information may include target item setup information related to at least one device (e.g., at least one of a smart phone (201), a wearable electronic device (e.g., a smart watch (202)), or a sensor (205)) registered in the healthcare application of the electronic device (200). For example, the target item setup information may include measurement items (e.g., number of steps, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, or body composition) that are to be managed or monitored through a healthcare application installed in the electronic device (200) from the present to the next treatment, a reference value (e.g., target value) related to each measurement item, a measurement cycle, a measurement frequency, a measurement time for one measurement, a measurement period, or setup information for simultaneous measurement items. The generated device setup information may be transmitted to a user-customized information generator (210) of the electronic device (200).

[0072] According to one embodiment, an external electronic device (300) may display device setting information generated by a digital prescription generator (310) for a doctor to view, and transmit the device setting information to an electronic device (200) in response to the doctor's approval input for the device setting information.

[0073] According to one embodiment, the user-customized information generator (210) of the electronic device (200) may generate healthcare guide information (230) related to at least one device registered in the healthcare application of the electronic device (200) based on device setting information received from the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300). The user-customized information generator (210) may provide the healthcare guide information (230) to the user to induce the user's health activities according to the digital prescription. The user-customized information generator (210) may control at least one device registered in the healthcare application of the electronic device (200) based on the healthcare guide information (230) to support the user's health activities according to the digital prescription.

[0074] According to one embodiment, the user-customized information generator (210) may generate healthcare guide information (230) using a generative artificial intelligence model. The healthcare guide information (230) generated by the user-customized information generator (210) may include at least a portion of scheduling information related to the user's health activities (e.g., scheduling information for measurement, exercise, or sleep activities), guide content (e.g., images, videos, or audio representing advice, guidance, or coaching messages for measurement, exercise, or sleep activities), or device control information. The device control information (e.g., prompt information specifying device-specific execution commands) may correspond to device setting information received from the digital prescription generator (310). For example, the device control information may be identical to the device setting information, or may be processed or updated from the device setting information.

[0075] In some embodiments, the device setting information generated by the digital prescription generator (310) may be readjusted by the user-tailored information generator (210) and fed back to the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300). For example, if a patient who is a user of the electronic device (200) does not agree to share his / her personal information with the external electronic device (300), the user-tailored information generator (210) may readjust (e.g., filter) the device setting information based on the personal information stored on the electronic device (200) and then feed back the readjusted device setting information to the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300). The fed-back device setting information may be finally approved by the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) or a doctor.

[0098] FIG. 3b is a block diagram of an external electronic device (300) (e.g., a hospital server) according to one embodiment.

[0099] Referring to FIG. 3b, the external electronic device (300) is an electronic device used by a doctor during a medical examination, and may include a communication circuit (350), a processor (370), and a memory (380). The external electronic device (300) may further include a display (360).

[0100] The external electronic device (300) of FIG. 3b may correspond to the server (108) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (104) of FIG. 1, or the external electronic device (300) of FIG. 2.

[0101] In one embodiment, the display (360) can visually present (or display) information to an external electronic device (300) (e.g., a doctor).

[0102] In one embodiment, the processor (370) may execute applications and control various hardware by executing codes or instructions written in a programming language stored in the memory (380) of the external electronic device (300). As the code stored in the memory (380) is executed, the processor (370) may be driven to perform a designated function (or logic). Alternatively, the processor (370) may execute instructions stored in the memory (380) to perform a designated function (or logic).

[0103] According to one embodiment, the processor (370) may include at least one processor.

[0104] In one embodiment, the memory (380) may store instructions that, when executed, control the processor (370) to perform various operations.

[0105] In one embodiment, the processor (370) may generate an initial digital prescription based on medical information entered by a physician. The processor (370) may transmit a connection request to the user's electronic device (200) via the communication circuit (350). The processor (370) may receive the user's personal information from the electronic device (200) via the communication circuit (350). The personal information may include personal device information for at least one device (e.g., personal device information (225) of FIG. 2). The personal information may further include the user's personal health information (e.g., personal health information (221) of FIG. 2).

[0106] According to one embodiment, the processor (370) may generate a modified digital prescription (e.g., a secondary digital prescription) based on the user's personal information received from the electronic device (200). The processor (370) may generate device setting information for a user-customized prescription based on the digital prescription.

[0108] For example, the processor (370) may identify, based on a digital prescription, that the user of the electronic device (200) is a diabetic patient who requires precise blood sugar measurement using a dedicated blood sugar meter at least twice a week. The processor (370) may identify, based on the user's personal device information, that the user's smart phone (201) or smart watch (202) does not have a sensor that satisfies the functional specifications required for precise blood sugar measurement. In this case, the processor (370) may add information about the dedicated blood sugar meter and / or information indicating that precise blood sugar measurement is required at least twice a week to the device setting information.

[0109] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 4, 5A, and 5B, operating methods of an electronic device for user-customized healthcare according to various embodiments will be described. The operations illustrated in the embodiments of FIGS. 4, 5A, and 5B may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. Alternatively, at least one of the illustrated operations may be omitted, the order of some operations may be changed, some operations may be combined, or other operations may be added. At least some of the operations of the operating methods of an electronic device for user-customized healthcare according to various embodiments described below may be performed in correspondence with each other or in combination with each other.

[0110] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a user-customized healthcare method of a healthcare system according to one embodiment.

[0111] A healthcare system according to one embodiment may include an electronic device (200) and an external electronic device (300).

[0112] Referring to FIG. 4, a user-customized healthcare method of a healthcare system according to one embodiment may include operations 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, 480, 490, and 495.

[0113] In operation 410, the external electronic device (300) can record, in EMR (330), treatment information (e.g., questions, diagnosis results, treatment details) that occurred during the doctor's treatment of the patient who is the user of the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) according to the doctor's input.

[0114] For example, if a user of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)) is a 48-year-old male patient who has had a headache upon waking up in the morning for two weeks and visits a hospital, a doctor may ask questions about the patient's symptoms and lifestyle, and may find out that the patient had borderline hypertension from the health checkup from last year recorded in the EMR (330) in the external electronic device (300). If the doctor measures blood pressure and determines that the blood pressure measurement result is 145 / 92 mmHg, which is in the hypertension stage, the doctor may diagnose that the headache is a symptom caused by hypertension and enter the diagnosis result into the EMR (330).

[0115] In operation 420, the external electronic device (300) may generate an initial digital prescription (or primary digital prescription) based on the medical information recorded in the EMR (330) through operation 410 and the local DB (320) (e.g., CDSS).

[0116] For example, when a doctor inputs a request for prescription generation on a screen on an external electronic device (300), the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) can automatically set a default template and display it on the screen. The default template can reflect the medical information input by the doctor (e.g., information on medical history, diagnosis results, and treatment procedures).

[0117] For example, a primary digital prescription is a file that describes the prescription, and may include medication information (e.g., blood pressure medication needs to be taken twice a day for two weeks), and / or target item setup information necessary to monitor and manage the patient's health status (e.g., blood pressure management needs, current blood pressure value, or target blood pressure range).

[0118] In operation 430, the external electronic device (300) may transmit a connection request to the patient's electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)).

[0119] For example, a doctor may check whether a patient is carrying a wearable electronic device, and if the patient is carrying a wearable electronic device, the doctor may request a connection between the external electronic device (300) and the electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)) via the external electronic device (300).

[0120] In operation 440, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may display a user interface on the screen of the electronic device (200) in response to a connection request from an external electronic device (300) to inquire whether to consent to the connection and / or use of personal information of the external electronic device (300). If the patient consents to the connection and / or use of personal information of the external electronic device (300) in response to the user interface displayed on the screen of the electronic device (200), the process may proceed to operation 450. In operation 450, the electronic device (200) may process personal information stored locally in the electronic device (200) into a designated file format and transmit it to the external electronic device (300). The personal information may include personal device information for at least one device of the patient (e.g., model name of a wearable electronic device). The personal information may further include personal health information (e.g., user profile information and / or health baseline information).

[0121] In operation 460, the external electronic device (300) may generate a digital prescription (or secondary digital prescription) that is a modification of the initial digital prescription (or primary digital prescription) generated through operation 420 based on personal information (e.g., personal health information) received from the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)).

[0122] For example, a digital prescription generator (310) of an external electronic device (300) can generate a secondary digital prescription based on pre-stored fitness and medical knowledge data and the patient's personal health information received from the electronic device (200).

[0123] For example, a secondary digital prescription is a file that describes modifications, adjustments, or updates to a primary digital prescription, and may include adjusted medication information (e.g., adjustment of blood pressure medication ingredients based on the patient's recent health status or medical history) and / or adjusted target item setup information (e.g., setup information on blood pressure management needs, current blood pressure values, target blood pressure range, and recommended health activities considering the patient's age, sex, medical history, recent health status, or average activity level).

[0124] In operation 470, the external electronic device (300) may generate device setting information for a user-customized prescription based on the secondary digital prescription generated through operation 460 and personal information (e.g., personal device information) received through operation 450.

[0125] For example, a digital prescription generator (310) of an external electronic device (300) may generate device configuration information based on a secondary digital prescription and personal device information. The device configuration information may include target item setup information for monitoring and / or managing a patient's health activities in daily life.

[0126] For example, a digital prescription generator (310) of an external electronic device (300) can identify the functional specifications of a smart watch (202), which is a wearable electronic device possessed by a patient, or the type of sensor(s) built into the smart watch (202), from personal device information (e.g., model name of the smart watch (202)) received from an electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)). The digital prescription generator (310) can generate device setting information based on the identified functional specifications or the type of sensor(s).

[0127] For example, device configuration information may include measurement items, reference values ​​(e.g., target values) associated with each measurement item, measurement cycle, measurement frequency, measurement time for one measurement, measurement period, or target item setup information for simultaneous measurement items. For example, measurement items may include step count, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure, body temperature, body composition, or sleep quality. For heart rate or heart rate variability, a measurement cycle (once every 10 minutes) and a measurement time (for 1 minute per measurement) may be set. For step count, a target number of steps per day (e.g., 5,000 steps) may be set. For body composition, a measurement cycle (once every two weeks) may be set. For sleep quality, a sleep start time or a sleep duration may be set.

[0128] In operation 480, the external electronic device (300) can transmit the device setting information generated through operation 470 to the patient's electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)).

[0129] In operation 490, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may generate healthcare guide information related to at least one device (e.g., smart watch (202)) of the patient based on device setting information received from an external electronic device (300).

[0130] In operation 495, the electronic device (200) may display a user interface (e.g., the first screen (710) of FIG. 7) that guides the patient's health activities based on the healthcare guide information generated through operation 490, and transmit a device control command to at least one device of the patient (e.g., the smart watch (202), speaker (241), or television (242) of FIG. 7) to support the health activities.

[0131] If, in operation 440, the patient does not consent to the connection and / or use of personal information by the external electronic device (300), the patient's personal information stored on the electronic device (200) may not be transmitted to the external electronic device (300). Accordingly, in operation 480, the patient's personal information may not be reflected in the process of generating device setting information to be provided to the electronic device (200). In this case, the user-customized information generator (210) of the electronic device (200) may readjust (e.g., filter) the device setting information received from the external electronic device (300) based on the patient's personal information stored on the electronic device (200).

[0132] For example, the primary device configuration information (e.g., device configuration information related to number of steps, body composition, or sleep quality) generated by the digital prescription generator (310) using the initial digital prescription and the personal information stored in the electronic device (200) can be combined and input as a query to the user-customized information generator (210). The user-customized information generator (210) can readjust parameters, ranges, or specific values ​​included in the primary device configuration information based on the personal information. For example, if the user-customized information generator (210) analyzes the patient's personal information and finds that the patient's current activity trend (e.g., activity trend over the past few months) shows a decreasing trend in activity and the daily target number of steps specified by the primary device configuration information is about 5,000 steps, the user-customized information generator (210) can adjust the target number of steps upward to about 6,000 steps in order to increase the patient's activity. For example, if the personal information analysis result shows that the patient's wearable electronic device has a body composition measurement function but has never been used, the user-customized information generator (210) may change the body composition measurement cycle to once per week and set a user identification flag indicating that the patient is a first-time user of the body composition measurement function. For example, if the sleep start time specified by the primary device setting information is 10:00, but the personal information analysis result shows that the user's average sleep time is 7 hours and the average sleep start time is 11:00, the user-customized information generator (210) may change the sleep start time to around 11:00 or 10:30.

[0133] In one embodiment, the user-customized information generator (210) of the electronic device (200) can feed back self-adjusted device setting information to the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300). The fed-back device setting information can be finally approved by the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) or a doctor.

[0134] According to one embodiment, if there is no history of issuing a digital prescription for a patient (e.g., at the time of the first consultation), the external electronic device (300) can issue a digital prescription using personal information stored in the patient's electronic device (200) and then store the history of issuing a digital prescription in a local DB (320).

[0135] According to one embodiment, if a history of issuing a digital prescription for a patient exists in the local DB (320) (e.g., at the next treatment after the first treatment), the digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) can link with the user-customized information generator (210) of the electronic device (200) to determine various health activity outcome information, such as the patient's level of participation and compliance or goal achievement rate related to a previously issued digital prescription. The digital prescription generator (310) of the external electronic device (300) can use this various health activity outcome information to provide doctors with advanced user-customized advice, coaching or guidance when issuing a subsequent digital prescription.

[0136] FIG. 5a is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment.

[0137] The method of operating an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment may be for providing a user-customized healthcare function.

[0138] Referring to FIG. 5A, an operating method of an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment may include operations 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, and 560.

[0139] In operation 510, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)) may receive a connection request from an external electronic device (300) via a communication circuit (250).

[0140] In operation 520, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may receive a user input for a connection request from an external electronic device (300).

[0141] In operation 530, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may transmit personal information of the user stored in the electronic device (200) to an external electronic device (300) via the communication circuit (250) based on the user input entered through operation 520. In one embodiment, the personal information may include personal device information of at least one device of the user. In one embodiment, the personal information may further include personal health information of the user (e.g., user profile information and / or health baseline information).

[0142] For example, at least one user's device may be registered in a healthcare application of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)). The electronic device (200) may store personal device information for the at least one device and provide the personal device information to an external electronic device (300) during treatment.

[0143] For example, a healthcare application of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)) may store user profile information and / or user health basic information collected from daily activities, and provide the user profile information and / or health basic information to an external electronic device (300) during treatment.

[0144] According to one embodiment, at least one device that may be used for user-customized healthcare functions may include one or more of a smart phone (202), a wearable electronic device (e.g., a smart watch (202)), an IoT device (240), or a sensor (205).

[0145] According to one embodiment, at least one device that may be used for a user-customized healthcare function may include at least one of an electronic device (200) (e.g., one of a smart phone (201) and a smart watch (202)) and one or more other electronic devices (e.g., another of a smart phone (201) and a smart watch (202), a sensor (205), or an IoT device (240)).

[0146] According to one embodiment, at least one device that can be used for user-customized healthcare functions may include a main device (e.g., a smart phone (201)) and one or more peripheral devices (e.g., a wearable electronic device (e.g., a smart watch (202)), an IoT device (240), or a sensor (205)).

[0147] In operation 540, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may receive device setting information generated based on the user's personal information and digital prescription from an external electronic device (300) via a communication circuit (250).

[0148] In operation 550, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may generate healthcare guide information related to at least one device of the user based on the device setting information received through operation 540.

[0149] In operation 560, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may display a user interface (e.g., first screen (710) of FIG. 7) guiding the user's health activities through the display (260) based on the healthcare guide information generated through operation 550, and transmit a device control command for at least one device through the communication circuit (250) to support the health activities.

[0150] In one embodiment, the user interface may include information about one or more of the following: measurement activities, exercise activities, sleep activities, scheduling, or guide content related to the user's health activities. The device control commands may support the health activities by indicating a function to be executed on each of the at least one devices.

[0151] For example, at least one device (e.g., a peripheral device, a wearable electronic device such as a smartwatch (202), a speaker (241), or a television (242)) registered in a healthcare application of an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201), a main device) may output a user interface (e.g., at least one of an audio message (720), a guide content (730), or a second screen (740) of FIG. 7) to support a patient's health activities by linking with the healthcare application of the electronic device (200) upon receiving a device control command from the electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)).

[0152] According to one embodiment, the display of the user interface and the transmission of the device control commands may be performed repeatedly for a specified period of time (e.g., for two weeks until the next visit, or at a specified time each day) based on scheduling information included in the healthcare guide information.

[0153] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)) may display a user interface that guides a user's initial health activity and may collect actual health activity information of the user using at least one device of the user (e.g., a wearable electronic device such as a smart watch (202)). The electronic device (200) may update the user interface based on the collected actual health activity information. The electronic device (200) may display the updated user interface and transmit a device control command related to the updated user interface to the at least one device.

[0154] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) may display a user interface that inquires about the privacy exposure (e.g., whether privacy is protected or the level of privacy protection) through the display (260). For example, in response to a connection request from an external electronic device (300), a message asking, "Do you want to apply privacy protection options when sharing personal information with a hospital?" may be displayed on the screen of the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)). Based on a user input to the user interface (e.g., a user input activating a privacy protection option), the electronic device (200) may transmit only a portion of the user's personal information stored in the electronic device (200) that has been filtered according to the privacy exposure to the external electronic device (300). By such filtering, sharing of personal information with a high privacy exposure or sensitive information may be restricted.

[0155] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (200) (e.g., a smart phone (201)) can identify whether the electronic device (200) is located at a designated location (e.g., a home). If the electronic device (200) is located at the designated location, the electronic device (200) can display a user interface for healthcare guide information and transmit device control commands related to the healthcare guide information.

[0156] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) (e.g., smart phone (201)) can identify whether the use of an additional device that is not included in at least one of the user's devices is required based on device setting information received from an external electronic device (300). If the use of the additional device is required, the electronic device (200) can search for a place where the additional device can be used, and can display an indicator (e.g., a map image indicating the place) that guides the searched place within a user interface for healthcare guide information. For example, if the user is a diabetic patient who must use a dedicated blood glucose meter for diabetes management but does not have the dedicated blood glucose meter, the electronic device (200) can search for a place (e.g., a public health center or a hospital) around the house where the dedicated blood glucose meter can be used, and provide the user with a user interface that guides the searched place.

[0157] FIG. 5b is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an external electronic device (300) according to one embodiment.

[0158] Referring to FIG. 5B, an operating method of an external electronic device (300) according to one embodiment may include operations 515, 525, 535, 545, and 555. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the method is performed by the external electronic device (300) of FIGS. 2 and 3B. However, the method is not limited thereto. For example, the method may be performed by any one of the server (108) of FIG. 1, the digital prescription generator (310) of FIG. 2, or the processor (370) of FIG. 3B.

[0159] In operation 515, an external electronic device (300) may generate a digital prescription (e.g., a primary digital prescription) based on medical information entered by a doctor (e.g., information about a medical history, diagnosis results, and treatment).

[0160] In operation 525, the external electronic device (300) may transmit a connection request to the electronic device (200) of the patient (or user) via the communication circuit (350).

[0170]

[0171] According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (300) may generate device setting information for a user-customized prescription using the user's personal device information as shown in Table 1 and then transmit the device setting information to the electronic device (200). The electronic device (200) may store the device setting information for a user-customized prescription received from the external electronic device (300). The device setting information may be information related to at least one device of the user. The at least one device may include at least one of various devices registered in the healthcare application of the electronic device (200), for example, a smart phone (201), a wearable electronic device (e.g., a smart watch (202)), a sensor (205), or an IoT device (240).

[0172] The first screen (610) and the second screen (620) illustrated in FIG. 6 may be a user interface for setting a target to be actually linked with the healthcare application of the electronic device (200) among at least one of the user's devices.

[0173] For example, after visiting a hospital and receiving treatment, a user may run a healthcare application that provides customized healthcare functions through an electronic device (200). As the healthcare application runs, the electronic device (200) may display a user interface such as the first screen (610) of FIG. 6.

[0174] Referring to FIG. 6, the first screen (610) of the electronic device (200) may include a menu (611, 612) for inquiring whether to execute automatic setting for at least one device of the user based on device setting information for a user-customized prescription received from an external electronic device (300). The user may select an agree menu (611) on the first screen (610) to approve the automatic setting or select a reject menu (612) to reject the automatic setting.

[0175] In one embodiment, when a user selects the consent menu (611), various devices registered with the healthcare application (e.g., a smartwatch (202) or an IoT device (240)) may be automatically set as actual linkage targets of the healthcare application for a specified period of time (e.g., from the present until the next scheduled treatment). In this case, the various devices may operate in conjunction with the healthcare application, thereby supporting user-customized healthcare functions.

[0176] Additionally, when a user selects the consent menu (611), a link between an application registered in the healthcare application (e.g., an alarm application, a pedometer application, or a sleep care application) and the healthcare application can be automatically set.

[0177] In one embodiment, when a user selects a details menu (613) within the first screen (610), the first screen (610) may be switched to a second screen (620).

The second area (622) represents a registered IoT device (240) (e.g., a speaker (241), a television (242), an air purifier (243), or a lamp (244)) and may include an on / off menu for selecting whether to link the IoT device (240) with the healthcare application.

[0179] In one embodiment, the second screen (620) of the electronic device (200) may further include a third area (623) that represents applications that can be linked with the healthcare application (e.g., an alarm application, a pedometer application, or a sleep care application). The third area (623) may include an on / off menu for selecting whether to link each application with the healthcare application.

[0180] In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) can set the actual target to be linked among devices and / or applications that can be linked with the healthcare application based on user input on the first screen (610) or the second screen (620).

[0181] For example, if a user selects the consent menu (611) on the first screen (610) and agrees to automatic settings for multiple devices and multiple applications registered to the healthcare service, the multiple devices and the multiple applications can be collectively set as linkage targets of the healthcare application.

[0182] For example, if a user selects some of the devices and some of the applications using the on / off menus for each of the devices and the applications on the second screen (620), only the selected some of the devices and some of the applications can be set as the target of linkage for the healthcare application.

[0183] FIG. 7 is another example of a user interface for a user-customized healthcare function of an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment. FIG. 7 may be used to explain the display of a user interface based on healthcare guide information and the transmission of device control commands.

[0184] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may be a smart phone (201) as illustrated in FIG. 7. A healthcare application may be installed on the smart phone (201) to provide user-customized healthcare functions. However, the smart phone (201) and the user interface of the smart phone (201) in FIG. 7 are merely examples to aid understanding, and the electronic device (200) and the user interface output through the electronic device (200) are not limited thereto and may be applied, modified, and / or expanded in various ways.

[0185] Referring to FIG. 7, a smart phone (201) is a main device for providing a user-customized healthcare function, and at least one device (e.g., one or more of a smart watch (202), a speaker (241), and a television (242)) may be a peripheral device for supporting the user-customized healthcare function.

[0186] In one embodiment, the smartphone (201) may generate healthcare guide information related to at least one device of the user based on device setting information received from an external electronic device (300).

For example, the healthcare guide information may include an indicator (711) indicating the exercise goal for the day, an indicator (712) indicating medication information, and an indicator (713) guiding necessary measurement activities.

[0187] In one embodiment, the smart phone (201) can set device control information for at least one device (e.g., one or more of a smart watch (202), a speaker (241), and a television (242)) to be linked with the healthcare application based on device setting information received from an external electronic device (300).

[0188] According to one embodiment, while the first screen (710) for healthcare guide information is displayed through the smart phone (201), the smart phone (201) operating as the main device can transmit device control commands to each of at least one peripheral device (e.g., one or more of a smart watch (202), a speaker (241), and a television (242)) to support the user's health activities related to the healthcare guide information.

[0189] For example, when the time to take blood pressure medication (e.g., 9:00 AM) included in the healthcare guide information arrives, the smartphone (201) may transmit a first device control command to the speaker (241). The first device control command may be to instruct the speaker (241) to output an audio message (720) indicating that it is time to take blood pressure medication.

[0190] For example, when the blood pressure measurement time included in the healthcare guide information (e.g., 9:00 PM before sleeping) arrives, the smart phone (201) may transmit a second device control command to the television (242) and a third device control command to the smart watch (202). The second control command may be for instructing the television (242) to output guide content (730) that guides a blood pressure measurement posture. The third control command may be for instructing the smart watch (202), which is a wearable electronic device, to display a second screen (740) for executing blood pressure measurement and to activate the biometric sensor of the smart watch (202) for blood pressure measurement for a specified time to wait for the user's blood pressure measurement.
