Description

Device and method for lifestyle guide for appetite control in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for monitoring the biometric information of a Prader-Willi syndrome patient, suggesting an appropriate meal time to the patient, and guiding the lifestyle habits of the Prader-Willi syndrome patient to help control appetite.

[0002]

[0003] Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by excessive appetite, obesity, and behavioral disorders. Obesity due to excessive appetite is a major risk factor for chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and sleep apnea, and is a leading cause of premature death in patients in their 20s and 30s.

[0004] Meanwhile, even though Prader-Willi syndrome patients use means such as refrigerator locks, food hiding, and constant surveillance to suppress overeating in their daily lives, the nature of the disease causes Prader-Willi syndrome patients to engage in behavioral patterns of overeating, such as stealing food, eating uncooked food, or searching through trash for food.

[0005] For patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, assessment and intervention of appetite-related behaviors are central to treatment. Appetite suppressants are being developed and actively clinically tested in the United States and Europe for Prader-Willi syndrome, but no medications have yet been officially approved. Interim results from appetite suppressant medications currently in clinical trials suggest that appetite control requires not only medication but also ongoing interventions in daily life. In particular, previous studies have shown that patients who control and manage their behaviors from an early age have significantly lower levels of anorexia and obesity compared to those who do not.

[0006] In other words, it is crucial to prevent patients with Prader-Willi syndrome from becoming severely obese. Appetite-related behaviors vary significantly depending on the eating habits and level of care provided by family members or caregivers living with the patient. Furthermore, most Prader-Willi syndrome patients are accompanied by intellectual disability, making management crucial in situations where family members or caregivers are absent from the home or outside the home.

[0007]

[0008] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a technology that monitors biometric information regardless of time and place in the daily life of a Prader-Willi syndrome patient, suggests an appropriate meal time to the patient, and guides lifestyle habits through this to help control the appetite of the Prader-Willi syndrome patient.

[0009] Meanwhile, the technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives of the embodiments of the present invention are included.

[0049] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a lifestyle guide device (100) (hereinafter referred to as 'device (100)') according to one embodiment.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 1, a device (100) according to one embodiment may each include a memory (110), a processor (120), an input / output interface (130), and a communication interface (140).

[0051] The memory (110) can store data acquired from an external device or data generated by the device itself. The memory (110) can include volatile memory and non-volatile memory. The memory (110) can store instructions that can perform the operations of the processor (120). In addition, the memory (110) can store the patient's biometric information records and time-based meal statistics, which will be described later.

[0052] The processor (120) is a computing device that controls overall operations. The processor (120) can execute instructions stored in the memory (110). The operation of the device (100) according to the embodiment of this document can be understood as an operation performed by the processor (120).

[0053] The input / output interface (130) may include a hardware interface or software interface for inputting or outputting information.

[0054] The communication interface (140) enables information to be transmitted and received via a communication network. To this end, the communication interface (140) may include a wireless communication module or a wired communication module.

[0055] The device (100) may be implemented in various forms of devices capable of performing operations through a processor (120) and transmitting and receiving information through a network. For example, the device may be implemented in the form of a server, a computer device, a portable communication device, a smart phone, a portable multimedia device, a laptop, a tablet PC, etc., but is not limited to these examples.

[0056] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of operations performed by a device (100) according to one embodiment. The operations of the device (100) according to the embodiment of FIG. 2 can be understood as operations performed by a processor (120). Each step disclosed in FIG. 2 is merely a preferred embodiment for achieving the purpose of the present invention, and some steps may be added or deleted as needed, and one step may be included and performed in another step. The order of each operation disclosed in FIG. 2 is merely an order arranged for the convenience of understanding, and this order is not limited to a chronological order, and the order may be changed and operated differently depending on the designer's choice.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 2, in step S1010, the device (100) may acquire biometric information of a patient. For example, the patient may include a patient with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Prader-Willi Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by excessive appetite, obesity, and behavioral disorders.

[0058] For example, the device (100) may further include a wearable device or a camera device internally to obtain biometric information, or may be linked with an external device, such as a wearable device or a camera device.

[0059] Biometric information may include blood sugar, heart rate, steps, body temperature, sleep, weight, and eating behavior.

[0060] For example, biometric information such as blood sugar, heart rate, number of steps, body temperature, sleep, and weight can be obtained from wearable devices that measure such information.

[0061] For example, eating behavior among biometric information can be obtained from a camera device that recognizes such information.

[0062] In step S1020, the device (100) can determine the patient's eating behavior based on the patient's biometric information.

[0063] For example, the device (100) can store changes in the patient's biometric information as statistical information by time zone, determine biometric information to be observed among a plurality of biometric information based on the statistics by time zone, and determine the patient's eating behavior based on the biometric information to be observed.

[0064] For example, the device (100) stores changes in the patient's heart rate as statistical information by time zone through a wearable device, observes the patient's heart rate in real time based on the statistics by time zone, and determines that the patient is engaging in eating behavior when the patient's heart rate falls outside a preset range at a preset time (e.g., a time set as a time when the patient mainly overeats).

[0065] For example, the device (100) stores the patient's blood sugar change as statistical information by time period through a wearable device, observes the patient's blood sugar change in real time based on the statistics by time period, and determines that the patient is eating when the patient's blood sugar goes out of the preset range at a preset time (e.g., a time set as a time when the patient mainly overeats).

[0066] For example, the device (100) can recognize the patient's behavior through a camera device, and if the patient takes a eating action, it can be determined that the patient is taking a eating action.

[0067] In step S1030, the device (100) can determine an alarm to output to the patient or guardian based on biometric information and eating behavior.

[0068] For example, the device (100) may output an alarm message to the patient or guardian when the patient's biometric information falls within a range as in the following example.

[0069] For example, the device (100) can output an alarm message to the patient or guardian to allow eating when the patient's heart rate reaches {(maximum heart rate - resting heart rate) X 0.5 + resting heart rate)} among the patient's biometric information. This is to have the patient do simple exercise before eating to increase the heart rate and burn calories.

[0070] For example, the device (100) can measure the number of steps, jogging in place, and squats based on the patient's biometric information, calculate the calorie consumption proportional to the number of steps, and output an alarm message to the patient or guardian allowing them to eat if the calorie consumption exceeds a preset value from the previous meal time. This is to ensure that the patient consumes an appropriate amount of calories from the previous meal time.

[0071] For example, the device (100) may output an alarm message to the patient or guardian when the patient's heart rate or body temperature changes by 20% or more compared to a preset average value. This is to detect cases where the patient is experiencing shock during daily life or eating.

[0072] In step S1030, the device (100) can set different criteria for judging the patient's eating behavior when a guardian is present near the patient. For example, the device (100) can determine whether the location information of the guardian's terminal is within a preset range from the device (100), and when the guardian is within a preset range from the device (100), the device can control the notification message differently from the default state (e.g., turn off notification) according to the settings of the guardian's terminal (e.g., allow eating).

[0073] An example of utilizing the device (100) by combining these embodiments is described through the following Figures 3 and 4.

[0074] FIG. 3 is an example diagram of a predetermined basic feeding time according to one embodiment, and FIG. 4 is an example diagram of an operation performed by a device according to the time at which feeding occurs when a basic feeding time is determined according to one embodiment.

[0075] The device (100) can obtain the patient's basic meal time information, as shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, the patient eats breakfast between 7:00 and 8:00 AM, lunch between 12:00 and 1:00 PM, and dinner between 6:00 and 7:00 PM from Monday to Friday. In addition, the patient eats breakfast between 9:00 and 10:00 AM, lunch between 1:00 and 2:00 PM, and dinner between 6:00 and 7:00 PM from Saturday to Sunday. The device (100) can set the meal times set as the "basic meal times" as shown in FIG. 3. In addition, if eating occurs outside of these times, the device (100) can determine that it is eating other than the basic meal times (e.g., overeating).

[0076] In a situation where the device (100) acquires information such as that in FIG. 3, referring to FIG. 4, in step S1021, the device (100) can monitor the patient's bio-information, and in step S1022, the device (100) can determine the patient's eating behavior based on changes in the patient's bio-information.

[0077] At step S1023, the device (100) can determine whether the time at which the patient's eating behavior is determined to have occurred corresponds to the basic eating time of FIG. 3.

[0078] If, as a result of the determination in step S1023, eating occurred during the basic eating time, the device (100) records that the eating occurred during the basic eating time in step S1024, updates statistical information, and can continue to monitor the patient.

[0079] If it is determined in step S1023 that eating has occurred at a time other than the basic eating time, the device (100) can count the number of times that eating has occurred outside the basic eating time in step S1025, and if eating has occurred more than a predetermined number of times at a specific time other than the basic eating time, the device (100) can designate that time as the time when overeating mainly occurs. In addition, the device (100) can output a notification message to the patient or guardian regarding whether the patient has overeated in step S1026. Thereafter, the device (100) can record the time when eating occurred in S1022 and the patient's biometric information accordingly in step S1024 to update statistical information, and can continuously monitor the patient.

[0080] Meanwhile, the device (100) may provide a reward to the patient or guardian based on the patient's statistical information according to the monitoring of FIGS. 3 and 4. For example, when the patient reaches a preset target value, such as the number of overeating counts per month (e.g., less than 3 times), the number of times hyperglycemia occurs (e.g., less than 3 times of hyperglycemia of 200 or higher), target weight, or target waist circumference, the server manager providing the service of the device (100) may provide a coupon (e.g., shopping mall, game item, point, etc.) as a reward to the patient or guardian.

[0081] Referring back to FIG. 2, in step S1040, the device (100) can control the characteristics of the alarm message based on the patient's intelligence. For example, the device (100) can acquire the patient's intelligence (e.g., input IQ) and increase the ratio of text to voice as a medium to output the alarm message in proportion to the input intelligence. For example, the device (100) can acquire the patient's intelligence (e.g., input IQ) and determine to increase the number of times the alarm message is repeatedly output. This is to output an alarm message that takes intelligence into consideration, as most Prader-Willi syndrome patients are accompanied by intellectual disability.

[0082] According to the above-described embodiment, the present invention monitors the patient's biometric information, such as blood sugar, heart rate, number of steps, body temperature, sleep, weight, and eating behavior, and can determine the patient's eating behavior based on changes in the biometric information, and can suggest the patient's eating time based on the information. Through this, the present invention monitors biometric information regardless of time and place in the daily life of a Prader-Willi Syndrome patient, suggests an appropriate eating time to the patient, and thereby guides lifestyle habits, thereby improving appetite control in PWS patients.
