Description

Non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system

[0001] The present invention relates to a non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system, and more specifically, to a non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system that remotely measures the physical functions of patients with brain diseases who have difficulty visiting a hospital in person without the assistance of a guardian, analyzes the measured physical data to enable accurate gait evaluation, and performs non-face-to-face treatment based on such data, thereby providing a customized prescription to the patient.

[0002] With the recent rapid advancement of electronic communication technology, interest in developing technologies that can manage personal health in a networked environment is growing. For example, technologies are being developed to detect biometric information and provide the information using wearables or smart devices.

[0003] Additionally, the user's biometric information detected in this way is not only stored in the user's terminal, but is also actively used to provide feedback on the user's health management.

[0004] Meanwhile, telemedicine, which has recently been widely discussed, relies on health information accumulated by users throughout their lives to obtain user-related data. To this end, numerous personalized health management apps utilizing wearable devices and personal terminals have been developed.

[0005] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a conventional healthcare system, which is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0069445 (June 25, 2018). As illustrated in FIG. 1, this conventional healthcare system (90) includes a wearable device (91), a user terminal device (93), an electronic device (95), and a server (97).

[0006] The above wearable device (91) refers to a configuration that senses or monitors a user's bio-signals to generate health data.

[0007] For example, the wearable device (91) can measure the user's blood sugar, and for this purpose, the wearable device (91) can include a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS). Here, CGMS refers to a continuous blood sugar monitoring system that measures blood sugar levels that change in real time by inserting a glucose sensor under a person's skin. However, the CGMS that measures blood sugar levels in an invasive manner is only one embodiment of the wearable device (91), and it goes without saying that various types of sensors, such as a non-invasive method, for example, a blood sugar measurement sensor in the form of a patch that is attached to the user's body, can be included in the wearable device (91).

[0008] In addition, the wearable device (91) can measure the user's level of exercise, heart rate, etc., and for this purpose, the wearable device (91) can be equipped with an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, etc.

[0009] In addition, the wearable device (91) can measure various health data, such as measuring body composition using human body resistance and measuring the user's sleep information using a Kinect sensor.

[0010] The wearable device (91) transmits health data to a user terminal device (93), and for this purpose, the wearable device (91) may include various communication chips such as a Wi-Fi chip, a Bluetooth chip, a wireless communication chip, and an NFC chip.

[0011] The above wearable device (91) may be configured in the form of a smartwatch, as shown in FIG. 1, or may be configured as various types of devices, such as a patch, that can be worn on the user's wrist, arm, waist, or ankle to measure health data.

[0012] The above user terminal device (93) refers to a configuration that receives health data from the wearable device (91) and transmits the received health data to at least one of the electronic device (95) and the server (97).

[0013] The electronic device (95) is configured to receive health data from the user terminal device (93). As shown in FIG. 1, if the electronic device (95) is a refrigerator, the electronic device (95) that has received the health data can provide guide information including information on food that the user should consume, and if the electronic device (95) is a treadmill, it can present information on calories that the user should consume.

[0014] The server (97) above is configured to receive and store healthcare information from at least one of a wearable device (91), a user terminal device (93), and an electronic device (95), and the healthcare information includes the user's physical information and behavioral information. The physical information may include the user's blood sugar, body fat index, body temperature, blood pressure, etc., and the behavioral information may include information on food consumed by the user, exercise information on the user's exercise time and type of exercise, etc.

[0015] However, this conventional healthcare system (90) has a limitation in that the collected information, such as physical information and behavioral information, is recorded separately and cannot be integrated and provided in the form of integrated information.

[0016] In other words, the conventional technology only presented numerical values ​​measured through the wearable device (91) or made simple evaluations through quantitative comparison with reference values, and had limitations in collecting measured information and deriving comprehensive conclusions.

[0017] In particular, if we assume that this healthcare system is used for the rehabilitation of patients who have undergone knee surgery, etc., although the measured results can be provided to the patient through various measurement methods, these are merely numbers, and when a patient without professional knowledge sees them, they cannot help but have questions about what their current condition is and how they should proceed with rehabilitation exercises.

[0018] Accordingly, the relevant industry is demanding the introduction of a new system that goes beyond simply distributing and listing measured factors when constructing a healthcare system, but instead comprehensively collects the measured information and synthesizes the collected information so that experts can provide appropriate feedback to users.

[0077] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description of the present invention, if a detailed description of a known function or configuration is judged to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, such detailed description will be omitted. Unless otherwise defined, all terms in this specification have the same general meaning as those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. If there is a conflict between the meaning of a term used in this specification and the definition used in this specification, the definition used in this specification shall prevail.

[0078] The present invention relates to a non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system (1), which remotely measures the physical functions of patients with brain diseases who have difficulty visiting a hospital in person without the assistance of a guardian, analyzes the measured physical data to enable accurate gait evaluation, and performs non-face-to-face medical treatment based on such data, thereby enabling customized prescriptions to be provided to the patient. Fig. 2 is a drawing illustrating a non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 2, the non-face-to-face medical treatment assistance system (1) includes a body measurement unit (10) and a server unit (30).

[0079] The above body measurement unit (10) refers to a configuration that measures body data related to a body function. Preferably, the body function may be the user's walking. The body data is data measured when the user walks while wearing the body measurement unit (10) on the body, and may include acceleration, which is a change in speed per unit time, angular velocity, which is an angle rotated per unit time based on a center of rotation, etc., and angles between movements changed based on a center of rotation, etc.

[0080] The above body measurement unit (10) may be composed of a plurality of units, and may be worn on both the healthy side (normal lower limb) and the affected side (abnormal lower limb) for purposes such as comparing normal and abnormal legs. In addition, the body measurement unit (10) is configured with a communication means to transmit the measured body data to the user terminal side, and the body data received at the user terminal can be transmitted to the server unit (30) via a network as illustrated in FIG. 2. The user terminal refers to a terminal used by the user side, and the terminal refers to a device that enables data reception and data transmission, such as a computer, a smart phone, or a tablet PC. Referring to FIG. 2, the body measurement unit (10) includes a first tracker (11) and a second tracker (13).

[0081] The first tracker (11) is configured to measure data related to walking by being positioned on the shin side of the user's lower body. It can be considered to be positioned on the proximal tibia below the knee, based on the user's knee. The first tracker (11) is configured in multiple pieces and can be worn on both the user's left and right legs.

[0082] The second tracker (13) is configured to measure data related to walking by being positioned on the thigh side of the user's lower body. It can be seen that it is positioned on the distal femur side above the knee with the user's knee as a reference. The second tracker (13), like the first tracker (11), is also configured in multiple units and can be positioned on both the left and right legs of the user.

[0083] The above server unit (30) refers to a configuration that receives and analyzes the body data generated by the body measurement unit (10). In one embodiment of the present invention, although it is not excluded that data is directly transmitted from the body measurement unit (10) to the server unit (30), it can be seen that, preferably, the body data generated by the body measurement unit (10) is received by the user terminal and then transmitted to the server unit (30) via a network.

[0084] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the server unit (30) is connected to a user terminal (U) and a medical staff terminal (M) via a network, so that the medical staff terminal (M) can download data uploaded to the server unit (30) by the user terminal (U) by accessing the network from the server unit (30), and conversely, the user terminal (U) can download data uploaded to the server unit (30) by the medical staff terminal (M) from the server unit (30). Therefore, even if the user terminal (U) and the medical staff terminal (M) are located in remote locations, easy communication between them becomes possible.

[0085] Figure 3 is a drawing illustrating a server unit (30), which includes a physical function evaluation unit (31), a self-questionnaire unit (33), a daily record unit (35), a non-face-to-face treatment unit (37), and a customized prescription unit (39).

[0086] The above-described physical function evaluation unit (31) refers to a configuration that determines the user's condition through analysis of the above-described physical data. Preferably, the physical function evaluation unit (31) can determine whether the user's gait is normal or abnormal, and if abnormal, can determine whether there is a problem with the knees or ankles, etc. Fig. 4 is a drawing illustrating the above-described physical function evaluation unit (31), and the above-described physical function evaluation unit (31) includes a data reception module (311), a data analysis module (313), and a gait judgment module (315).

[0087] The above data receiving module (311) is configured to receive the body data from the body measurement unit (10), and for this purpose, the data receiving module (311) can be connected to the user terminal (U). The data receiving module (311) is configured to be connected to a data analysis module (313) to be described later and to provide the received body data to the data analysis module (313).

[0088] The above data analysis module (313) refers to a configuration that analyzes the body data received by being connected to the data receiving module (311) to evaluate the user's gait. Preferably, the data analysis module (313) may be configured to classify the data in a direction in which the data dispersion is reduced to evaluate the user's gait as normal gait and abnormal gait. Referring to FIG. 4, the data analysis module (313) includes a spatial symmetry analysis module (3131), a sound-side swing phase analysis module (3132), an affected-side shin pitch analysis module (3133), an affected-side thigh pitch analysis module (3134), a sound-side shin pitch analysis module (3135), and a sound-side thigh pitch analysis module (3136).

[0089] The above spatial symmetry analysis module (3131) is configured to calculate a spatial symmetry ratio (α / β) (Spatial Symmetry Ratio, SSR) by dividing the knee angle (α) of the affected side by the knee angle (β) of the healthy side, and compare the calculated spatial symmetry ratio (α / β) with a reference spatial symmetry ratio, and determine that a sample smaller than or equal to the reference spatial symmetry ratio is true, and a sample larger than the reference spatial symmetry ratio is false. Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an analysis process by the data analysis module (313). Referring to Fig. 5, 351 samples can be first classified by the spatial symmetry analysis module (3131) with the reference spatial symmetry ratio set to 0.812. The Gini coefficient (after classification by the spatial symmetry analysis module (313)) , Pi: ratio of each class) is 0.663, which confirms that the data dispersion is still high even with only the classification by the spatial symmetry analysis module (3131) once. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 5, after the data classification by the spatial symmetry analysis module (3131), classification by the sound-side swing phase analysis module (3132) described later can be performed. In addition, the data classification by the spatial symmetry analysis module (3131) is not performed only once at the beginning, but can be performed repeatedly as illustrated in FIG. 5.

[0090] The above-described healthy side swing phase analysis module (3132) is configured to calculate the swing phase ratio of the healthy side, compare the calculated swing phase ratio of the healthy side with a reference swing phase ratio, and determine that a ratio that is less than or equal to the reference swing phase ratio is True, and a ratio that is greater than the reference swing phase ratio is False. The swing phase refers to the period during which the foot is in the air from the toe lift to the heel touch again during the walking process. Preferably, data classification by the healthy side swing phase analysis module (3132) can be considered to be performed after data classification by the spatial symmetry analysis module (3131).

In Fig. 5, class A means normal gait, class B means abnormal gait with a knee problem, and class C means abnormal gait with a ankle problem.

[0098] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a data analysis code. Referring to FIG. 6, data classification by the spatial symmetry analysis module (3131) is performed first for the first data sample, and as illustrated in FIG. 6, the reference spatial symmetry ratio may be set to 0.81. Thereafter, data classification by the sound-side swing phase analysis module (3132) may be coded to be performed, and the reference swing phase ratio may be set to 0.38.
