Description

Method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercises based on an IoT-based digital grip dynamometer

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercises based on an IoT-based digital grip dynamometer. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercises based on an IoT-based digital grip dynamometer. The method prescribes a customized grip strength recovery exercise program appropriate for a patient's condition and determines the patient's degree of improvement based on compliance data measured by the digital grip dynamometer.

[0002] Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, end-stage renal disease, and others undergo ligament incision surgery or arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery for hemodialysis. These surgeries incise the ligaments that serve as pulleys for the wrist flexor tendons, or incise arteries and veins, inevitably resulting in a weakening of grip strength.

[0003] Grip strength is an important indicator of upper limb function or improvement in symptoms after upper limb surgery. The faster the recovery, the better, allowing for a quicker return to daily life. Furthermore, preoperative exercise increases the size of arteries and veins, thereby increasing the success rate of the surgery.

[0004] That is, for patients who need to strengthen their grip strength, grip strength exercises are essential for training and restoring grip strength for a certain period of time before and after surgery.

[0005] These abdominal exercises may have different AVF maturation success rates due to patient factors, medical institution factors, and socioeconomic factors.

[0006] However, existing grip strength exercises, which involve squeezing and releasing a rubber ball, have the disadvantages of not being standardized in exercise intensity, not being able to measure compliance data indicating whether the set amount of exercise is maintained, and not being able to make differential measurements according to the individual clinical conditions of patients (e.g., differences in muscle strength, age, etc.).

[0007] Therefore, there is an emerging need for an invention that prescribes a customized grip strength recovery exercise program suitable for the patient's condition and determines the patient's degree of improvement based on compliance data measured by a digital grip dynamometer.

[0008] The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and its purpose is to provide a method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on an IoT-based digital grip strength meter that objectively indicates improvement or deterioration of grip strength according to grip strength exercise before and after surgery of a patient.

[0036]

[0037] Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram of a customized exercise prescription service provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, a customized exercise prescription service provision system (hereinafter, “service provision system”) according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide a customized exercise prescription service (hereinafter, “customized exercise prescription service”) that designs and prescribes a customized grip strength recovery exercise program suitable for a patient’s condition based on an IoT-based digital grip dynamometer, and manages the rehabilitation of a patient who has undergone arm surgery based on compliance data measured by the digital grip dynamometer.

[0039] In an embodiment, a service providing system implementing a customized exercise prescription service as described above may be connected through a digital grip dynamometer (DG), a terminal (100), a central server (200), and a network (10: Network).

[0040] Here, the network (10) according to the embodiment means a connection structure that enables information exchange between each node, such as a digital dynamometer (DG), a terminal (100), and a central server (200), and examples of such a network (10) include, but are not limited to, a 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) network, an LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, a WIMAX (World Interoperability for Microwave Access) network, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a Wireless LAN (Wireless Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), a PAN (Personal Area Network), a Bluetooth network, a satellite broadcasting network, an analog broadcasting network, a DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) network, etc.

[0041] Hereinafter, the digital dynamometer (DG), terminal (100), and central server (200) that implement the service provision system will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0042]

[0043] -Digital Grip Dynamometer (DG)

[0044] Here, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) may be a digital grip dynamometer (DG) having a structure capable of detecting various inputs of a patient related to a customized exercise prescription service.

[0045] In an embodiment, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) is a digital grip dynamometer (DG) equipped with IoT (Internet of Things) technology, and may be a medical device used by a patient who has undergone a specific surgical operation on the arm area among body parts.

[0046]

[0047] *That is, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) according to the embodiment is not simply a tool for measuring grip strength, but can play a role in assisting with rehabilitation of the patient's arm area based on the patient's grip strength measured before and after surgery, and in assisting with the patient's health management by determining the degree of improvement.

[0048] In detail, in an embodiment, a digital grip dynamometer (DG) may include a grip strength input unit for measuring a patient's grip strength (grip strength). In this case, the grip strength input unit may include a pressure measuring unit pressure sensor for measuring pressure.

[0049] Accordingly, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) can measure the intensity of pressure applied by the patient's hand when holding the grip input unit and / or the time for which pressure is applied.

[0050] Additionally, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) may include an angle measuring unit for measuring the angle of a patient's arm. The angle measuring unit may include a predetermined gyro sensor.

[0051] Accordingly, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) can measure the angle at which the patient's grip strength is measured using the grip strength input unit. At this time, the angle at which the grip strength is measured can be preset.

[0052] In an embodiment, a digital grip dynamometer (DG) can obtain grip strength data at a predetermined angle based on the grip strength input unit and angle measurement unit.

[0053] For example, a digital grip dynamometer (DG) can obtain grip strength data when the patient is seated and the arm is at an angle of 0, 45, and 90 degrees, and when the patient is lying down and the arm is at an angle of 0, 45, and 90 degrees. The reason for obtaining grip strength data at each angle is because the pressure applied to the patient's arm blood vessels varies depending on the patient's posture and the position of the patient's arm relative to the heart.

[0054] Additionally, in one embodiment, a digital grip dynamometer (DG) can be coupled with a blood pressure monitor to determine the first angle with the smallest error from normal blood pressure values ​​among grip strength data at each angle. Thereafter, a predetermined guidance guide can be provided to the patient to help them obtain grip strength data at the first angle.

[0055] Additionally, in the embodiment, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) can output predetermined data measured based on the grip strength input unit to a display included in the digital grip dynamometer (DG).

[0056] In addition, in the embodiment, the digital grip dynamometer (DG) can transmit and receive in real time with the linked patient terminal (100-1) and transmit predetermined data measured based on the grip strength input unit.

[0057] In the example embodiment, the user can perform grip strength exercises for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 8 weeks) before and after surgery based on the digital grip dynamometer (DG).

[0058] This digital grip dynamometer (DG) is linked to a terminal (100) (in an embodiment, a patient terminal (100-1)) and can transmit and receive grip strength data measured by the digital grip dynamometer (DG) and monitoring-related predetermined alarms generated by the terminal (100).

[0063] At this time, the applications for patients, experts, and guardians may be designed to perform different functional operations by distinguishing a single application or user entity.

[0064] That is, the above patient, expert and guardian applications may be designed to grant different permissions and operate differently depending on the accounts of a single application or expert (e.g., a doctor), patient and guardian.

[0065] Additionally, the application for patients, experts, and guardians may be a medication management platform that provides an Internet environment so that multiple patients, experts, and guardians can use a customized exercise prescription service.

[0066] Returning to the above, in the embodiment, the terminal (100) having the above healthcare application installed may include a patient terminal (100-1) used by a patient, a specialist terminal (100-2) used by a specialist (in the embodiment, a doctor), and a guardian terminal (100-3) used by a guardian.

[0068] Here, the patient terminal (100-1), expert terminal (100-2), and guardian terminal (100-3) are intended to distinguish the user in the embodiment, and their components and functional operations may be the same.

[0069] Additionally, in the embodiment, the patient terminal (100-1) may include a predetermined digital grip dynamometer (DG) used by the patient and / or a patient's mobile phone linked to the digital grip dynamometer (DG).

[0070] In the following, for convenience of explanation, the patient terminal (100-1), expert terminal (100-2), and guardian terminal (100-3) are described as mobile type computing devices.

[0131] At this time, depending on the embodiment, the deep learning neural network may be installed directly in the central server (200) or may operate as a device separate from the central server (200) to perform deep learning for the customized exercise prescription service.

[0149] -A method for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercises based on a digital grip dynamometer.

[0150] Hereinafter, a method for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on a digital grip dynamometer to provide a customized exercise prescription service by an application (111) executed by at least one processor of a terminal (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 3 to 8.

[0151] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one processor of the terminal (100) can execute at least one application (111) stored in at least one memory (110) or operate in a background state.

[0152] Hereinafter, the method of prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on the digital grip strength meter described above by operating at least one processor to execute the command of the application (111) is briefly described as being performed by the application (111).

[0153] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on a digital grip dynamometer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0154] Referring to FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the application (111) can obtain basic grip strength at a time point prior to surgery. (S101)

[0155] In detail, in the embodiment, the application (111) can obtain a basic grip strength at a time prior to surgery and perform initial settings based on the obtained basic grip strength.

[0156] In an embodiment, a patient may measure their baseline grip strength using a digital dynamometer prior to surgery (e.g., at a specific time prior to the patient undergoing surgery). In this embodiment, a specialist and / or guardian may provide guidance on how to measure grip strength using a digital dynamometer.

[0157] Based on the terminal (100) linked to the above digital dynamometer, the application (111) in the embodiment can obtain the basic grip strength of the patient in a normal state.

[0158] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can perform initial settings by obtaining patient basic information and / or patient examination information at a time prior to surgery.

[0159] In an embodiment, the patient's basic information may include the patient's gender, age, occupation, surgical site, underlying disease, etc.

[0160] At least one factor included in the above patient basic information may be a factor affecting the success rate of AVF maturation surgery.

[0161] In detail, the patient's age, gender, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, hemiplegia, severe underlying medical conditions, osteoarthritis, and obesity can all affect the success rate of the surgery. Furthermore, the patient's occupation and lifestyle can also influence the success rate.

[0162] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can obtain patient examination information by measuring blood circulation velocity, venous and arterial diameters (AVF maturation), and peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the artery through the Doppler effect through a basic examination.

[0163] That is, in the embodiment, the application (111) can perform initial settings by inputting basic grip strength, patient basic information, and / or patient examination information. The initial settings thus performed can be reflected in the exercise program and exercise guide provided after surgery.

[0164] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can classify the target patient into a predetermined category based on initially set information. For example, the categories may include a general group and a high-risk group.

[0165] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can preset a predetermined exercise program for each classified category. In this case, the exercise program may include a pre-operative exercise program and / or a post-operative exercise program.

[0166] A preoperative exercise program can be provided to ensure sufficient vascular maturation before surgery, thereby increasing the success rate and recovery rate of the surgery. A postoperative exercise program can be provided to facilitate postoperative rehabilitation and accelerate the recovery of existing grip strength. A detailed description of the exercise program will be provided later.

[0167] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can obtain the first grip strength at the first point in time after the surgery. (S103)

[0168] FIG. 4 is an example of a drawing for explaining at least one time point before and after surgery according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0169] In an embodiment, the patient may undergo surgery at a predetermined time point after the pre-operative time point (300-P).

[0170] The first point in time (301) may be a point in time at which a predetermined amount of time has passed since the surgical point in time (300). In addition, the first grip strength may be the patient's grip strength obtained (measured) at the first point in time.

[0171] The second time point (302) may be a time point at which a predetermined amount of time has passed from the first time point (301). In addition, the second grip strength may be the grip strength of the patient obtained at the second time point (302).

[0172] Additionally, between the first time point (301) and the second time point (302), the patient according to the embodiment can perform the first exercise program.

[0173] Accordingly, the farther away from the surgical time point (300), the higher the achievement rate (compliance data) for the exercise program performed for a given period of time between each time point, the higher the n-grind strength can be.

[0174] Additionally, in an embodiment, the application (111) may provide a result (in an embodiment, an n-th exercise dataset) for the performance of the previous exercise program (n-th exercise program) at the n+1-th time point.

[0175] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate a first exercise program based on the acquired basic grip strength and first grip strength. (S105)

[0176] In detail, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate a first exercise program by calculating a reference grip strength based on the acquired basic grip strength and the first grip strength.

[0177] This first exercise program can provide real-time feedback (guidance) if the measured grip strength data deviates from the predetermined standard error range. The provided feedback may be a predetermined alarm for the digital grip dynamometer (DG) and / or the patient terminal (100-1).

[0178] Typically, the baseline grip strength is the grip strength in a normal state before surgery, and the first grip strength is the grip strength in a state that is below normal after surgery. Therefore, the value of the first grip strength will be smaller than the baseline grip strength. Therefore, in the embodiment, the application (111) can calculate how much the first grip strength has decreased compared to the baseline grip strength based on the exercise quantity quantification formula, and set a reference grip strength by calculating the level of grip strength that the patient should train with to help recover the grip strength.

[0179] That is, in the embodiment, the application (111) can create a first exercise program that sets a reference grip strength that is suitable for recovering the patient's grip strength and performs grip strength recovery exercise with the set reference grip strength.

[0180] At this time, the above-mentioned reference force can be adjusted based on patient basic information and / or patient examination information. To this end, predetermined variable values ​​can be preset for each element constituting the two pieces of information.

[0181] In an embodiment, the application (111) can calculate the average of the basic grip strength and the first grip strength. Furthermore, the application can apply a predetermined variable value to the calculated average value to derive the final reference grip strength. For example, if the age is 65 years or older, a variable value of *0.97 can be preset, and accordingly, the reference grip strength (angle) can be lowered by a predetermined amount compared to the average value.

[0182] FIG. 5 is an example of a drawing for explaining an exercise program according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0183] Referring to FIG. 5, in an embodiment, an application (111) can generate an exercise program (EP) including at least one record (401, 402, 403, 404).

[0184] An exercise program (EP) according to an embodiment may be a program in which exercise location (part), exercise period, exercise time, exercise frequency, exercise maintenance time, and exercise speed are preset based on a digital dynamometer.

[0185] At this time, one record included in the exercise program (EP) may include at least one field among exercise location, exercise period, exercise time, exercise frequency, exercise duration, and exercise speed. In other words, one record may mean a process that a patient must perform during one grip strength exercise.

[0186] These exercise programs can be tailored to each patient category. Typically, the frequency of exercise in a high-risk category's exercise program may be higher than that in a general patient category.

[0187] In an embodiment, the application (111) can extract a preset exercise program for each category of classified patients.

[0188] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate a first exercise program by setting a reference grip strength and a reference angle in the extracted exercise program.

[0189] At this time, the reference grip strength and reference angle set in the extracted exercise program may differ for each patient.

[0190] Additionally, if the measured grip strength increases beyond the margin of error each time the exercise program is performed, the application (111) in the embodiment can adjust the difficulty by increasing the reference grip strength.

[0191] Additionally, if the exercise area is both arms, the patient can perform the exercise program by holding the digital grip dynamometer alternately in the left and right hands.

[0192] In other words, exercise programs for the general and high-risk groups will contain different records due to differences in exercise time, frequency, duration, and speed. Furthermore, even for patients in the same category, the baseline grip strength set for the exercise program will vary from patient to patient.

[0193] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the patient can perform exercise according to the first exercise program for a predetermined period of time.

[0194] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can obtain the first exercise dataset for the first exercise program at the second point in time. (S107)

[0195] The second time point may be a predetermined time after the first time point. In an embodiment, the patient may perform the first exercise program between the first time point and the second time point. In other words, the second time point may be a predetermined time after the start of performing the first exercise program.

[0196] Typically, the first grip strength is the grip strength at the first point in time, which is closer to the surgery, and the second grip strength is the grip strength at the second point in time, which is a certain amount of time after the first point in time, so the value of the second grip strength will be greater than that of the first grip strength.

[0197] Additionally, depending on how much the first exercise program was performed, the value of the second grip strength may have increased significantly compared to the first grip strength.

[0198] In other words, in the embodiment, the application (111) can perform exercise according to a first exercise program for a predetermined period of time from a first point in time, thereby obtaining a second grip strength and a first exercise dataset which is a result of the first exercise program at a second point in time after a predetermined period of time has passed from the first point in time.

[0199] In an embodiment, the exercise dataset may be a data set that includes the results of a patient performing exercise for a predetermined period of time according to an exercise program.

[0200] These exercise datasets may include grip strength data, compliance data, and / or lap data.

[0201] Grip strength data may include all grip strength measurements taken while the patient was performing the first exercise program. This grip strength data may include average grip strength and / or peak grip strength. The following description will be based on the inclusion of second grip strength data.

[0202] Compliance data may represent a patient's exercise program achievement rate. Additionally, compliance data may include individual and / or aggregate compliance data.

[0203] In an embodiment, the application (111) can extract the compliance data based on a momentum quantification formula.

[0204] The formula for quantifying the amount of exercise force according to the embodiment is Frequency × Duration × Intensity, and the unit can be mkg / day.

[0205] Referring back to FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the application (111) can extract individual compliance data for each record (401, 402, 403, 404). The individual compliance data may be compliance data for one record.

[0206] That is, in the embodiment, the application (111) can extract individual compliance data for each record. In other words, each element of the above formula can mean the number of times, time, and intensity of pressing the digital dynamometer when measuring grip strength while performing one record.

[0207] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the application (111) can calculate the shoulder angle momentum for the first record and replace it with individual compliance data.

[0208] In an embodiment, the application (111) may obtain comprehensive compliance data by extracting an average of individual compliance data included in the first exercise program. The compliance data herein may refer to comprehensive compliance data.

[0209] These compliance data values ​​may be higher if the exercise frequency, duration, speed, and / or reference grip strength specified in the exercise program are successfully achieved. For example, if the content of the exercise program is fully achieved, the compliance data may be 100%.

[0210] The lap data may be data indicating the test results of an ultrasound examination conducted after performing an exercise program. For example, the lap data may include AVF maturation (vascular thickness) information. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the application (111) may calculate and determine the patient's improvement rate compared to before surgery based on the lap data. For example, since a thicker blood vessel indicates a greater improvement, if the vascular thickness information at the second time point increases in proportion to the vascular thickness information at the first time point, the improvement rate may increase.

[0211] In an embodiment, the application (111) can store the acquired second grip strength and first movement dataset by matching them with the patient's basic information (gender, age, occupation, surgical site, and / or underlying disease, etc.).

[0212] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the application (111) can set variable weights for the first exercise data set acquired through big data.

[0213] In detail, in the embodiment, the application (111) can convert the exercise frequency, exercise duration, exercise speed, grip strength, and basic information of the patient matched therewith included in the first exercise dataset into big data.

[0214] Through this, in the embodiment, the application (111) can extract the first variable that has the most significant influence on a patient with a predetermined condition among each element included in the exercise dataset. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the application (111) can set a predetermined weight to the extracted first variable. Accordingly, in the embodiment, the application (111) can adjust the compliance data of the first exercise dataset based on the set variable weight.

[0215] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate and provide exercise result content for the acquired first exercise dataset. (S109)

[0216] In an embodiment, exercise result content may refer to data that displays the results of an exercise program performed by a patient over a predetermined period of time in the form of text, images, and / or video to the patient, a specialist, and / or a guardian. To this end, a healthcare interface may be provided to the patient, specialist, and / or guardian terminals (100-1, 100-2, 100-3).

[0217] Figure 6 is an example of exercise result content according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0218] Referring to FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the application (111) can generate and provide exercise result content (500) including individual compliance data (511, 512), exercise non-compliance event (521), exercise compliance (522), and exercise result graph (530).

[0219] Individual compliance data (511, 512) may be data indicating each record provided as an exercise program and the patient's exercise achievement rate for that record. The exercise achievement rate may be expressed as a numeric value expressed as a percentage (%). This individual compliance data (511, 512) may be displayed sorted by date.

[0220] The exercise non-response event (521) indicates the number of records that the patient did not perform among the multiple records provided as an exercise program.

[0221] Exercise compliance (522) represents comprehensive compliance data obtained by extracting the average of individual compliance data included in the exercise program. Like the individual compliance data, this value may be expressed as a number in percentage (%).

[0222] The exercise result graph (530) may be a graph that visually represents the change trend of a patient's health-related dimensions according to the performance of an exercise program.

[0223] At this time, the exercise result graph (530) may display, for example, trends in average grip strength change, trends in maximum grip strength change, trends in blood vessel thickness change, and trends in individual compliance change.

[0224] Additionally, the exercise result content (500) may display different information depending on the subject of the terminal (100). Accordingly, the exercise result content (500) generated on the patient terminal (100-1) may be shared with the expert terminal (100-2) and / or the guardian terminal (100-3). As the exercise result content (500) is shared, the content included in the exercise result content (500) may change depending on the subject of each terminal (100).

[0225] For example, the patient terminal (100-1) may display information regarding guidance that the patient should perform to improve compliance data. Furthermore, the expert terminal (100-2) may display changes in lap data according to the exercise program performed by the patient. Furthermore, the caregiver terminal (100-3) may display information regarding specific actions that the caregiver can perform based on the patient's compliance data.

[0226] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate a second exercise program based on the first exercise dataset. (S111)

[0227] In detail, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate a second exercise program that changes the configuration of the first exercise program based on the first exercise data set according to the performance of the first exercise program including the second grip strength acquired at the second point in time.

[0228] The second exercise program according to the embodiment may be one that analyzes how much the various rehabilitation-related values ​​have changed as the patient performs the first exercise program, and changes the composition of the exercise program (for example, exercise frequency, exercise duration, exercise speed, and / or reference grip strength) to maximize the effect of the exercise program.

[0229] In an embodiment, the application (111) can analyze compliance data included in the first exercise dataset to classify patients into a predetermined type.

[0230] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) can change the configuration of the first exercise program according to a predetermined type and set it as a second exercise program.

[0231] Figures 7 and 8 are examples of graphs visualizing compliance data for each record included in an exercise program according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0232] In an embodiment, the application (111) can extract and analyze compliance data for all records included in the patient's exercise program.

[0233] The above compliance data may have a lower value if at least one of the preset exercise frequency, exercise duration, exercise speed, and / or reference grip strength included in each record is not normally met.

[0234] In Fig. 7, a first record (401) and a second record (402) are illustrated. As illustrated in Fig. 7, a first type may appear in which an exercise program is started and performed normally for a predetermined period of time, but then the compliance value decreases after a certain point in time.

[0235] This first type may be characterized by low concentration or endurance, and thus, shortening the length (exercise duration) of the exercise program and increasing its frequency may be more effective. Therefore, in the embodiment, if the patient's compliance data is classified as the first type, the application (111) can adjust the duration of the first exercise program for the patient to decrease and the frequency of the exercise to generate a second exercise program.

[0236] In Fig. 8, the first to third records (401, 402, 403) are illustrated. As illustrated in Fig. 8, a second type may appear in which the exercise program is faithfully performed from the start to the end, but a record (exercise non-response event) that is not performed occurs.

[0237] This second type may have sufficient endurance / grip strength but struggle to perform frequent exercise programs. Therefore, increasing the length (exercise duration) of the exercise program and reducing its frequency may be more effective. Therefore, in the embodiment, if the patient's compliance data is classified as the second type, the application (111) can generate a second exercise program by adjusting the duration of the first exercise program for the patient to increase and the frequency of exercise to decrease. In addition,

[0238] In addition, when the first and second types are shown in the patient, the application (111) in the embodiment can provide a predetermined notification to the patient terminal (100-1) and / or the guardian terminal (100-3) to cause the patient to perform an exercise program.

[0239] Additionally, in the embodiment, the application (111) may analyze the grip strength data and / or lap data included in the first exercise data set to change the configuration of the first exercise program and set it as a second exercise program.

[0240] In an embodiment, the application (111) can extract and analyze grip strength data and / or lap data for all records included in the patient's exercise program.

[0241] At this time, the reference grip strength set for the second exercise program can be changed based on the highest grip strength value included in the grip strength data. For example, the reference grip strength for the second exercise program can be increased to record a higher grip strength value than the highest grip strength value for the first exercise program.

[0242] Additionally, the reference grip strength set for the second exercise program can be changed based on the vascular thickness information included in the lab data. For example, if the vascular thickness information at the second time point rises below the reference value compared to the vascular thickness information at the first time point, the reference grip strength in the second exercise program can be increased to further strengthen the grip strength.

[0243] That is, in the embodiment, the application (111) can generate a second exercise program that changes the configuration of the first exercise program based on at least one of the grip strength data, compliance data, and / or lap data included in the first exercise dataset.

[0244] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the application (111) may perform steps S107 to S111 repeatedly in a preset number of times. For example, if one exercise program is performed on a weekly basis and the exercise program must be performed for a total of six weeks, steps S107 to S111 (hereinafter, “times”) may be performed repeatedly six times.

[0245] Referring again to FIG. 4, each time the above cycle is repeated, in the embodiment, the application (111) can obtain the n-th exercise dataset for the n-th exercise program (i.e., the previous exercise program) at the n+1-th time point.

[0246] That is, in the embodiment, the application (111) designs and prescribes an exercise program for recovering grip strength suitable for the patient, immediately reports the patient's exercise performance results to experts and guardians as visual data, and flexibly changes the exercise program according to changes in the patient's exercise performance and measurement (test) values, thereby reducing the time and economic burden of rehabilitation for the patient without the need for 1:1 resident personnel.

[0247]

[0248] Above, the method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on an IoT-based digital grip strength meter according to an embodiment of the present invention objectively indicates the improvement or deterioration of grip strength according to grip strength exercise before and after surgery of the patient, thereby enabling the patient to directly check the effect of rehabilitation exercise to see how quickly and how much improvement occurred, thereby enhancing the patient's will to rehabilitate, and thus has the effect of increasing the post-surgical recovery rate.

[0249] In addition, the method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on an IoT-based digital grip dynamometer according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of dramatically increasing the time / procedural economy required to design an individual exercise program each time according to the individual characteristics of the patient and / or the post-operative progress by creating a customized grip strength recovery exercise program of an intensity suitable for each patient and the patient's environment and updating the program configuration after surgery.

[0250] In addition, the method and system for prescribing customized grip strength recovery exercise based on an IoT-based digital grip dynamometer according to an embodiment of the present invention provides an alarm to a guardian and medical personnel managing the patient when the patient performs an exercise program based on the digital grip dynamometer, thereby enabling the guardian and medical personnel to monitor the patient in real time and respond immediately, and has the effect of facilitating care for the patient's disease.

[0251] The embodiments of the present invention described above may be implemented in the form of program commands that can be executed through various computer components and recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, etc., either singly or in combination. The program commands recorded on the computer-readable recording medium may be specially designed and configured for the present invention or may be known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software. Examples of computer-readable recording media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes, optical recording media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, and hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program commands, such as ROMs, RAMs, and flash memories. Examples of program commands include not only machine language codes generated by a compiler, but also high-level language codes that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter, etc. Hardware devices may be changed into one or more software modules to perform processing according to the present invention, and vice versa.
