Description

Health Management System

[0001] The present invention relates to a health care system.

[0002] For example, it is desirable to acquire biometric information such as a user's pulse wave, heart rate, body temperature, etc., and an activity log such as the number of steps, from a biometric sensor such as a smart ring, and to effectively utilize this information for health management and reducing the psychological burden on the user. For example, a biometric information monitoring system has been disclosed in which physical activity data of a subject acquired by a client-side sensor is transmitted to a cloud server, the acquired biometric information is analyzed and managed in the cloud server using a predetermined analysis method, and the analysis results of the biometric information related to the subject are fed back from the cloud server in response to a request from the subject (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] JP 2023-61879 A

[0004] In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the analysis results for each subject are made viewable by the subject, but in order for a third party to evaluate the analysis results, the subject must disclose the analysis results to the third party. This may result in a delay in responding to, for example, an abnormality in the subject's health condition.

[0005] There is also a demand for the construction of a health management system that efficiently manages the health of members on a client-by-client basis, targeting clients such as companies and public institutions.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a health management system that can visualize a user's health condition and achieve efficient health management.

[0007] A health management system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a server, a user terminal through which a customer's user uploads biometric information to the server, a provider-side monitoring management terminal capable of viewing the biometric information uploaded to the server and adding monitoring information related to the user's health management to the biometric information, and a customer-side monitoring management terminal capable of viewing the biometric information uploaded to the server and the monitoring information added to the biometric information.

[0010] 1 is a schematic diagram showing a specific example of a business model to which a health management system according to an embodiment is applied. The business model shown in FIG. 1 includes a cloud server (server) 2, a platform operator 3, and a customer 4p.

[0011] The platform operator 3 develops and operates a platform for operating the business model shown in Fig. 1. The platform is a B2B platform built on a cloud network, and the platform operator 3 manages the health of users of biometric information acquisition devices (hereinafter simply referred to as "users"), targeting customers 4p such as companies and public institutions. An example of a biometric information acquisition device owned by a user is a so-called smart ring.

[0012] In the present disclosure, p indicates the customer numbers of the total number P of customers 4p (P is a natural number equal to or greater than 1). For ease of explanation, an example is shown in which a customer number p is assigned to each customer 4p, but a customer ID corresponding to each customer 4p may be assigned instead of the customer number p.

[0013] Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a biometric information acquisition device. Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line II-II' shown in Fig. 2. An example of the biometric information acquisition device 100 is a smart ring having the configuration shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

[0014] The biometric information acquisition device 100 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is a ring-shaped device that can be attached to and detached from the human body and is worn on a finger Fg of the human body. The finger Fg includes the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, etc. The biometric information acquisition device 100 can detect biometric information related to a living organism from the finger Fg on which it is worn. The biometric information acquisition device 100 is not limited to the ring-shaped device shown in Figures 2 and 3. The biometric information acquisition device 100 may have various shapes, such as a bracelet-shaped device worn on the human arm or a device that can be attached to the skin surface. In the following description, it is assumed that the biometric information acquisition device 100 is used as a ring.

[0015] 3, the biometric information acquisition device 100 includes a housing 200, a light source 60, a first optical sensor 10A, and a second optical sensor 10B. The biometric information acquisition device 100 includes a battery (not shown) inside the housing 200 and is a device that operates on battery power.

[0016] The housing 200 is formed in a ring shape (annular shape) that can be worn on a finger Fg, and is a wearable member that is worn on the human body.

[0017] 3, the housing 200 includes a sealing film 201 and an exterior part 202. The sealing film 201 and the exterior part 202 are integrally formed in the housing 200 into a ring shape.

[0018] The sealing film 201 accommodates the light source 60, the first optical sensor 10A, the second optical sensor 10B, etc. The sealing film 201 is formed in a ring shape using a housing material such as a transparent synthetic resin or silicone.

[0019] The exterior part 202 has a surface of the housing 200 that covers the outer peripheral surface 201A of the sealing film 201. The exterior part 202 is formed in a ring shape from a material such as metal or non-transparent synthetic resin.

[0020] The housing 200 accommodates the flexible printed circuit board 70, on which the light source 60, the first optical sensor 10A, the second optical sensor 10B, etc. are mounted, inside the sealing film 201. The flexible printed circuit board 70 is accommodated inside the housing 200, for example, by forming the housing 200 in a ring shape in a mold and filling the surrounding area with a filling material.

[0021] 4 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the first and second optical sensors. The first and second optical sensors 10A and 10B include a sensor substrate 51, a sensor structure 52, and a protective film 53. The sensor substrate 51 is an insulating substrate formed of, for example, a film-like resin. The optical sensor PD is an organic photodiode (OPD) that outputs an electrical signal corresponding to irradiated light as a detection signal.

[0022] The sensor structure 52 includes a TFT layer 521 , an anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 , a photosensor PD, and a cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526 .

[0023] Various wirings such as gate lines GCL and signal lines SGL are provided on the TFT layer 521. The sensor substrate 51 and the TFT layer 521 form a drive circuit that drives the sensor, and are also called a backplane.

[0024] The photosensor PD has an active layer 524, an electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523 provided between the active layer 524 and an anode electrode (lower electrode) 522, and a hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 provided between the active layer 524 and a cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526. In this case, the electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523, the active layer 524, and the hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 of the photosensor PD are stacked in this order in a direction perpendicular to the sensor substrate 51.

[0025] The characteristics (e.g., voltage-current characteristics and resistance value) of the active layer 524 change depending on the light irradiated thereto. An organic material is used as the material for the active layer 524. Specifically, the active layer 524 has a bulk heterostructure in which a p-type organic semiconductor and an n-type organic semiconductor, an n-type fullerene derivative (PCBM), are mixed. For example, low-molecular-weight organic materials such as C60 (fullerene), PCBM (phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester), CuPc (copper phthalocyanine), F16CuPc (fluorinated copper phthalocyanine), rubrene (5,6,11,12-tetraphenyltetracene), and PDI (perylene derivative) can be used as the active layer 524.

[0026] The active layer 524 can be formed by a vapor deposition (dry process) using these low-molecular organic materials. In this case, the active layer 524 may be, for example, a stacked film of CuPc and F16CuPc, or a stacked film of rubrene and C60.

[0027] The active layer 524 can also be formed by a wet process, in which case the active layer 524 is made of a material that is a combination of the above-mentioned low-molecular organic material and high-molecular organic material.

[0028] Examples of polymer organic materials that can be used include P3HT (poly(3-hexylthiophene)), F8BT (F8-alt-benzothiadiazole), etc. The active layer 524 can be a film in which P3HT and PCBM are mixed, or a film in which F8BT and PDI are mixed.

[0029] The electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523 and the hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 are provided to facilitate the electrons and holes generated in the active layer 524 reaching the anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 or the cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526.

[0030] The electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523 is directly on and in contact with the anode electrode (bottom electrode) 522. The active layer 524 is directly on and in contact with the electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523. The material of the electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523 is ethoxylated polyethyleneimine (PEIE).

[0031] The hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 is in direct contact with the active layer 524, and the cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526 is in direct contact with the hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525. The hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 is a metal oxide layer. Tungsten oxide (WO), molybdenum oxide, or the like is used as the metal oxide layer.

[0032] The materials and manufacturing methods of the electron transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523, the active layer 524, and the hole transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 are merely examples, and other materials and manufacturing methods may be used.

[0033] The anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 and the cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526 face each other with the photosensor PD interposed therebetween. The cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526 is made of a light-transmitting conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO). The anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 is made of a metal material such as silver (Ag) or aluminum (Al). Alternatively, the anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 may be made of an alloy material containing at least one of these metal materials.

[0034] By controlling the film thickness of the anode electrode (lower electrode) 522, the anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 can be formed as a semi-transparent electrode having light transmittance. For example, the anode electrode (lower electrode) 522 can be formed of a 10 nm-thick Ag thin film to have a light transmittance of about 60%. In this case, the photosensor PD can detect the first light LD irradiated from the first surface FD side, for example.

[0035] The protective film 23 is provided on the second surface FU to cover the cathode electrode (upper electrode) 526. The protective film 53 is a passivation film, and is provided to protect the photosensor PD.

[0036] Unlike the above-described configuration, the photosensor PD may have a configuration including an active layer 524, a hole transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523 provided between the active layer 524 and a cathode electrode (lower electrode) 522, and an electron transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 provided between the active layer 524 and an anode electrode (upper electrode) 526. In this case, the hole transport layer (lower buffer layer) 523, the active layer 524, and the electron transport layer (upper buffer layer) 525 of the photosensor PD are stacked in this order in a direction perpendicular to the sensor substrate 51.

[0037] In addition, in the present disclosure, the photosensor PD is not limited to an organic photodiode (OPD), and may be, for example, a silicon photodiode (SiPD).

[0038] 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of databases provided on a cloud server 2. The cloud server 2 includes a master database (hereinafter also referred to as a "master DB") 21 and customer databases (hereinafter also referred to as "customer DBs") 221, 222, ..., 22P. A customer DB 22p (221, 222, ..., 22P) is provided for each customer 4p (41, 42, ..., 4P).

[0039] The master DB 21 stores contract information in the business model shown in Fig. 1. The contract information of each customer 4p is linked to a customer number (customer ID).

[0040] A customer DB 22p is provided corresponding to each of the multiple customers 4p. Each of the multiple customer DBs 22p stores a user information table and a biometric information table. Each customer DB 22p is linked to the customer number (customer ID) of the corresponding customer.

[0041] The user information table stores individual information for each user of each customer 4p. In the present disclosure, the individual information for each user stored in the user information table includes at least the user number (user ID) of each customer 4p and the contact information of the watcher set by each user, which are linked together and stored. Examples of the watcher contact information include an email address that can be received by the watcher terminal described below. Examples of the watcher set by each user include a close relative of each user. Each user may set multiple watchers.

[0042] The biometric information table stores biometric information of each user of each customer 4p. In the present disclosure, the biometric information of each user stored in the biometric information table includes, for example, the user's pulse wave, heart rate, body temperature, blood oxygen saturation (SpO ２ , which may also be generally referred to as blood oxygen wellness), etc. Furthermore, the biological information may include information on the user's activity, such as walking or running.

[0043] The health management system 1 according to the embodiment includes, as business-side terminals, a business-side customer information management terminal 31 and a business-side monitoring management terminal 32p.

[0044] The business-side customer information management terminal 31 and the business-side monitoring management terminal 32p are terminal devices owned by the platform business operator 3. The business-side monitoring management terminal 32p is provided for each customer 4p.

[0045] The business-side customer information management terminal 31 and the business-side monitoring management terminal 32p are exemplified by personal computers (hereinafter also referred to as "PCs"), but the business-side customer information management terminal 31 and the business-side monitoring management terminal 32p are not limited to being PCs. The business-side customer information management terminal 31 may be, for example, a tablet or smartphone owned by the business-side customer information management officer. The business-side monitoring management terminal 32p may be, for example, a tablet or smartphone owned by the business-side monitoring management officer.

[0046] The business-side customer information management terminal 31 is not limited to a specific terminal device, but may be any terminal device that can execute a password-managed business-side customer information management application.

[0047] The provider-side watching management terminal 32p is not limited to a specific terminal device, but may be any terminal device that can execute a password-managed provider-side watching management application.

[0048] The business-side customer information manager uses the business-side customer information management terminal 31 to manage the master DB 21 of the cloud server 2 .

[0049] Each provider-side monitoring manager has the authority to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p that they are responsible for. In the present disclosure, the provider-side monitoring manager logs in to a password-managed provider-side monitoring management application to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p that they are responsible for. In other words, each of the multiple provider-side monitoring management terminals 32p corresponding to each of the multiple customers 4p has the authority to access the customer DB 22p in which the biometric information table of the corresponding customer 4p is stored.

[0050] Specifically, the business operator's monitoring management terminal 32p accesses the customer DB 22p. The cloud server 2 determines whether or not the business operator's monitoring management terminal 32p has access authority to the customer DB 22p based on contract information linked by a customer number (customer ID), and if the business operator's monitoring management terminal 32p has access authority, the cloud server 2 permits the business operator's monitoring management terminal 32p to access the customer DB 22p. This ensures security between the customers 4p.

[0051] The provider's monitoring manager can use the provider's monitoring manager terminal 32p to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p and add information about the user's health management as monitoring information, which is expected to improve the quality of the user's health management.

[0052] The health management system 1 according to the embodiment also includes, as customer terminals, a customer information management terminal 41p, a customer monitoring management terminal 42p, a user terminal 43pn, and a monitoring terminal 44pn.

[0053] In the present disclosure, n indicates the user numbers of the users of the biometric information acquisition devices, of which the total number is N (N is a natural number equal to or greater than 1) at customer 4p. For ease of explanation, an example is shown in which a user number n is assigned to each user of a biometric information acquisition device at customer 4p, but instead of user number n, a user ID corresponding to each user of a biometric information acquisition device at customer 4p may be assigned.

[0054] The customer-side customer information management terminal 41p and the customer-side monitoring management terminal 42p are exemplified by PCs, but are not limited to PCs. The customer-side customer information management terminal 41p may be, for example, a tablet or smartphone owned by the customer-side customer information manager of customer 4p. The customer-side monitoring management terminal 42p may be, for example, a tablet or smartphone owned by the customer-side monitoring manager.

[0055] The customer-side customer information management terminal 41p is not limited to a specific terminal device, but may be any terminal device that can execute a password-managed customer information management application.

[0056] The customer-side watching management terminal 42p is not limited to a specific terminal device, but may be any terminal device that can execute a password-managed customer-side watching management application.

[0057] The customer information manager on the customer side uses the customer information management terminal 41p to register and update the customer information of the customer 4p.

[0058] 6 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a master DB management procedure. In this disclosure, a customer-side customer information manager for each customer 4p logs in to a password-managed customer-side customer information management application to register and update customer information for the customer 4p. This ensures security between the customers 4p.

[0059] Specifically, the contract information of the customer 41 sent from the customer-side customer information management terminal 411 of the customer 41 is stored in the master DB 21 of the cloud server 2 .

[0060] Furthermore, the contract information of the customer 42 sent from the customer-side customer information management terminal 412 of the customer 42 is stored in the master DB 21 of the cloud server 2 .

[0061] Furthermore, the contract information of the customer 4P transmitted from the customer-side customer information management terminal 41P of the customer 4P is stored in the master DB 21 of the cloud server 2.

[0062] The operator-side customer information manager of the platform operator 3 uses the operator-side customer information management terminal 31 to manage the contract information of each customer 4 p stored in the master DB 21 of the cloud server 2 .

[0063] The customer-side monitoring manager has the authority to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p. In the present disclosure, the customer-side monitoring manager logs in to a password-managed customer-side monitoring management application to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p. In other words, the customer-side monitoring management terminals 42p owned by the multiple customers 4p each have the authority to access the customer DB 22p in which the biometric information table of the customer 4p that owns the customer-side monitoring management terminal 42p is stored.

[0064] Specifically, the customer-side monitoring management terminal 42p accesses the customer DB 22p. The cloud server 2 determines whether or not the customer has access authority to the customer DB 22p based on contract information linked by a customer number (customer ID), and if the customer has access authority, permits the customer-side monitoring management terminal 42p to access the customer DB 22p. This ensures security between the customers 4p.

[0065] The customer-side monitoring manager can use the customer-side monitoring manager terminal 42p to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p and refer to the monitoring information added by the provider-side monitoring manager as information related to the user's health management. This is expected to improve the quality of the user's health management.

[0066] The user terminal 43pn is exemplified by a smartphone owned by the user, but is not limited to a smartphone. The user terminal 43pn may also be, for example, a biometric information acquisition device such as a smart ring.

[0067] The user terminal 43pn has a function of transmitting the individual information and biometric information of the user to the cloud server 2. The individual information and biometric information of the user transmitted from the user terminal 43pn is stored in the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

[0068] The user terminal 43pn is not limited to a specific terminal device, but may be any terminal device as long as it is capable of executing a password-managed individual information management application and a biometric information acquisition application.

[0069] The watching terminal 44pn is exemplified by a smartphone owned by the watcher and set by the user, but the watching terminal 44pn is not limited to a smartphone. The watching terminal 44pn may be, for example, a PC or a tablet.

[0070] The monitoring terminal 44pn has a function of receiving a user abnormality notification sent from the cloud server 2. The user abnormality notification is sent to both the user terminal 43pn and the monitoring terminal 44pn when the cloud server 2 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the health condition of the user.

[0071] The monitoring terminal 44pn is not limited to a specific terminal device. The monitoring terminal 44pn may be capable of receiving a user abnormality notification transmitted from the cloud server 2. The user abnormality notification transmitted from the cloud server 2 to the monitoring terminal 44pn may be received, for example, by email. The user abnormality notification transmitted from the cloud server 2 to the monitoring terminal 44pn is not limited to being received by email. The user abnormality notification transmitted from the cloud server 2 to the monitoring terminal 44pn may also be received via a dedicated application running on the monitoring terminal 44pn.

[0072] In addition, the user abnormality notification sent from the cloud server 2 to the user terminal 43pn may be received via a biometric information acquisition application, or may be received by email, as with the monitoring terminal 44pn.

[0073] 7 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a procedure for managing a user information table. In the present disclosure, the user of each customer 4p logs in to a password-managed individual information management application to register and update the user's individual information.

[0074] Specifically, the individual information of the user transmitted from the user terminal 43p1 of the customer 4p is stored in a user information table on the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

[0075] In addition, the individual information of the user transmitted from the user terminal 43p2 of the customer 4p is stored in the user information table on the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

[0076] In addition, the individual information of the user transmitted from the user terminal 43pN of the customer 4p is stored in the user information table on the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

[0077] 8 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a procedure for updating a biometric information table. In the present disclosure, each customer 4p logs in to a password-managed biometric information acquisition application and uploads the user's biometric information acquired by a biometric information acquisition device. The user's biometric information may be acquired at a timing preset by the biometric information acquisition application, or may be acquired at a timing designated by the user at any time. The biometric information table is updated with the uploaded user's biometric information.

[0078] Specifically, the biometric information of the user uploaded by the user terminal 43p1 of the customer 4p is stored in a biometric information table on the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

[0079] Furthermore, the biometric information of the user uploaded by the user terminal 43p2 of the customer 4p is stored in the biometric information table on the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

[0080] In addition, the biometric information of the user uploaded by the user terminal 43pN of the customer 4p is stored in the biometric information table on the customer DB 22p of the cloud server 2.

In the present disclosure, as described above, the operator-side monitoring manager of the platform operator 3 can use the operator-side monitoring manager terminal 32p to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p and add information about the user's health management as monitoring information.

[0082] Furthermore, as described above, the customer-side customer information manager of each customer 4p can use the customer-side monitoring management terminal 42p to view the biometric information table of the customer 4p and refer to the monitoring information added by the provider-side monitoring manager as information related to the user's health management. This is expected to improve the quality of the user's health management.

[0083] Specifically, the operator's monitoring management officer in charge of customer 41 uses the operator's monitoring management terminal 321 to view the biometric information table for customer 41 stored in the customer DB 221 of the cloud server 2, and adds information about the user's health management as monitoring information.

[0084] Then, the customer information manager of customer 41 uses customer monitoring management terminal 421 to view the biometric information table of customer 41 and refer to the monitoring information added by the provider monitoring manager as information related to the health management of the user. This is expected to improve the quality of health management of customer 41.

[0085] In addition, the operator's monitoring management officer in charge of customer 42 uses the operator's monitoring management terminal 322 to view the biometric information table for customer 42 stored in the customer DB 222 of the cloud server 2, and adds information regarding the user's health management as monitoring information.

[0086] Then, the customer information manager of customer 42 uses customer monitoring management terminal 422 to view the biometric information table of customer 42 and refer to the monitoring information added by the provider monitoring manager as information related to the user's health management. This is expected to improve the quality of health management of customer 42's users.

[0087] In addition, the operator's monitoring management officer in charge of customer 4P uses the operator's monitoring management terminal 32P to view the biometric information table of customer 4P stored in the customer DB 22P of the cloud server 2, and adds information about the user's health management as monitoring information.

[0088] The customer information manager of the customer 4P then uses the customer monitoring management terminal 42P to view the biometric information table of the customer 4P and refer to the monitoring information added by the provider monitoring manager as information related to the health management of the user. This is expected to improve the quality of the health management of the user of the customer 4P.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of an abnormality determination process for biological information in a cloud server. FIG. 10 illustrates an example of a mode in which a user's abnormality notification is sent to the user terminal 43pn and the monitoring terminal 44pn of the customer 4p. In FIG. 11, the user's blood oxygen saturation (SpO ２ ) and judges it based on the threshold.

[0090] The cloud server 2 receives the blood oxygen saturation (SpO ２ ) is acquired (step S001), and it is determined whether it is equal to or less than the threshold value (or less than the threshold value) (step S002).

[0091] The blood oxygen saturation (SpO ２ If the difference (.gtoreq..times ...

[0092] The blood oxygen saturation (SpO ２ If the blood oxygen saturation (SpO ２ An abnormality notification indicating that the value of the parameter ) is an abnormal value is sent to the user terminal 43pn and the monitoring terminal 44pn of the customer 4p (step S003).

[0093] This allows for quick response when an abnormality occurs in the user's health condition.
