Description

  The present invention relates to a biological signal transfer apparatus that measures a biological signal and transfers the measured biological signal to a medical institution or the like via a communication line.

In the conventional biological signal transfer device, as shown in FIG. 8, the state output unit 812 outputs whether the main control device 802 is in operation / stopped state, and the state determination unit 815 of the sub control device 803 outputs the signal. The state control unit 817 receives the determination by the state determination unit and the input from the power switch 816, and if the main control device is in a stopped state when the power switch is operated, the start control unit 819 starts the main control device, If the main control device is in an operating state when the power switch is operated, the stop control unit 820 stops the main control device. In this way, starting and stopping of the main control device can be controlled separately from the sub-control device, and can be reliably started / stopped by a simple operation of the user (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-112971 (page 3, FIG. 1)

  However, when a conventional biological signal transfer device measures a biological signal, the biological signal cannot be measured unless the power switch of the sub-control device is operated even if the sensor is attached. In addition, for example, a recent blood glucose meter can generally measure by operating the blood glucose meter alone, and the measured blood glucose level data can be stored in the blood glucose meter itself. Even if it is desired to send the accumulated data to a specific medical institution via a communication line in order to obtain the diagnosis of a specialist, the biological signal data accumulated inside the blood glucose meter even if the blood glucose meter is connected if the sub-control device is not in operation Cannot be read, and of course cannot be transmitted to a medical institution via a communication line.

  In this case, after the measurement is completed, the user connects the blood glucose meter to the communication device, operates the power switch of the communication device to turn on the power, and stores the blood glucose meter after the device is in an operating state. It is necessary to perform an operation for taking the biological signal data into the communication device and then transmitting it to the medical institution.

The biosignal data thus transmitted is transmitted through the control unit of the sensor unit, received by the control unit of the communication unit, and then stored in the storage unit of the communication unit.

  With this configuration, since the sensor unit can be used integrally with the communication unit, it is possible to provide extensibility to the use form of the subject. Further, if the communication unit is connected, the biological signal data is stored in the communication unit in an integrated manner, so that the biological signal data can be handled easily.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the biological signal transfer apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the biological signal transfer device 110 includes a sensor unit 111 and a communication unit 112. The sensor unit 111 has a built-in storage battery separately, and can be separated from the communication unit 112 to measure the biological signal of the biological signal inspected person 100 alone, and the measured biological signal data is stored in a built-in memory in a predetermined format. To do.

  When the sensor unit 111 is connected by the non-inspector 100, the communication unit 112 detects the connection and is activated from the non-operating state to the operating state. And after starting, the communication unit 112 establishes communication with the sensor unit 111 by receiving and processing a repetitive signal transmitted from the sensor unit 111, and transmits the biological signal data to be transferred to the communication unit 112 to the sensor unit 111. If stored, the sensor unit 111 starts transferring the biological signal data to the communication unit 112.

  The communication unit 112 converts the received biological signal data into a data format suitable for the communication line, and transfers it to the medical institution 130 registered in advance via the communication line network 120.

  The above-described biological signal transfer apparatus will be described in further detail with reference to FIGS. First, the configuration and operation of the sensor unit will be described in the case of measuring the biological signal by the sensor unit alone, and then the configuration of the communication unit and the operation of the biological signal transfer device will be described in the case of connecting the communication unit and the sensor unit. To do. Hereinafter, the measurement target biological signal will be described more specifically as a blood glucose level.

  FIG. 2 shows a functional block diagram of the sensor unit. The sensor unit 111 includes a measurement electrode 201 which is a member for measuring a biological signal, a measurement unit 210 which is a means for measuring a biological signal in which the measurement electrode 201 can be attached and detached, an electrode detection unit 211 which detects attachment and detachment of the measurement electrode 201, Sensor unit memory unit 213 which is a storage unit for storing the measured biological signal data, biological signal data storage detection unit 214 which indicates the presence / absence of biological signal data stored in the storage unit, and communication which is an interface unit connected to the communication unit A unit interface unit 230, a connection state detection unit 220 that detects a connection state with a communication unit, a sensor unit control unit 212 that is a control unit that controls the unit, a display unit 216 that displays to the user, and a user operation An operation unit 217 for inputting instructions.

  Next, the blood glucose level measurement procedure and the operation flow of the sensor unit will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a procedure when the blood glucose level is measured by the sensor unit 111 and an operation sequence of the sensor unit 111. For the measurement of blood glucose level, first, as a preparation for measurement, a very small amount of blood is collected from the biological signal subject 100 to the measurement electrode 201, and the measurement electrode 201 to which a blood droplet adheres is attached to the measurement unit 210 (S301). ) Is started (Y in S301).

  The measurement is performed by the measurement unit 210 (S302), and when the measurement is completed (S303), the blood glucose level data is displayed on the display unit 216 together with the current measurement date and time data generated by the sensor unit control unit 212 and sent to the subject 100. Is transmitted (S304). At this time, the sensor unit controller (212) performs a display requesting input of measurement conditions, and prompts the subject to input a state during measurement (S305).

  That is, it is necessary to distinguish medically whether the blood glucose level is measured before or after a meal. As an example, fasting 140 mg / dl or more and 2 hours after meal 200 mg / dl or more are medically classified as “abnormal conditions” and are at a level that requires prompt medical treatment. In addition, fasting 120 mg / dl or more and less than 140 mg / dl and 2 hours after meal 170 mg / dl or more and less than 200 mg / dl are medically classified as “needed guidance”, and there is no urgency, but appropriate management is required. It is said that.

  Also, less than 120 mg / dl on an empty stomach and less than 170 mg / dl at 2 hours after meal are generally classified as “no abnormality”. (Exhibitor; Diabetes Society of Japan, Diabetes, Volume 45 Supplement 1 (2002)) This confirms the condition at the time of the above measurement with the subject.

  The subject 100 responds by operating the operation unit 217 to the input request for the measurement conditions. When a response that is a measurement before meal (fasting) is received (S307), the sensor unit controller 212 classifies the measured blood glucose level into 140 mg / dl or more, less than 140 mg / dl, 120 mg / dl or more, and less than 120 mg / dl On the other hand, when a response that is a measurement after meal (2 hours after meal) is received (S308), the sensor unit controller 212 measures the measured blood glucose level at 200 mg / dl or more, less than 200 mg / dl, 170 mg / dl or more, 170 mg Analyzes are classified as less than / dl.

  The analysis result is displayed on the display unit 216 together with the input measurement conditions. All the displayed data is stored in the sensor unit memory unit 213 (S309), and finally the measurement electrode is removed from the measurement unit, and the blood glucose level measurement is terminated (S390).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the biological signal data stored in the sensor unit memory unit 213. The biological signal data 410 includes an ID 410a, a measurement date and time 410b, a measurement value 410c, a measurement condition 410d, a determination result 410e, and a transferred 410f.

  In order to specify the person to be inspected, for example, the name of the non-inspector 100 registered in advance and the number assigned to the non-inspector are stored in the ID 410a. The measurement date and time 410b stores, for example, the date and time when the measurement is started for specifying the measurement date and time, and the measured blood glucose level data is stored as the measurement value 410c.

  The measurement condition 410d stores the result of the inspected person 100 responding to the input request for the measurement condition. For example, in the case of a response before meal (when hungry), “0”, measurement after meal (2 hours after meal) “1” is stored in the case of the response. The determination result 410e includes a result obtained by analyzing blood glucose level data obtained by measurement under measurement conditions, that is, the above-described “abnormal state”, “guidance required state”, “no abnormality”, for example, “abnormal state” "A", "B" indicating guidance required, and "C" indicating "no abnormality" are stored in the transferred 410f, the biological signal data 410 is stored in the transfer history to the communication unit to be described later. The biological signal data 410 that has been transferred stores “1”, and the biological signal data 410 that has not yet been transferred stores “0” for discrimination.

  The measurement of the biological signal is started by collecting a very small amount of blood from the biological signal subject 100 to the measurement electrode 201 and attaching the measurement electrode 201 to which the blood droplet adheres to the measurement unit 210. Based on the above, the measurement data is analyzed, and the biosignal data 410 including the above items is stored in the memory unit 213 for each measurement together with the determination result.

  Next, the configuration of the communication unit 112 and the operation of the biological signal transfer apparatus 110 will be described in the case where the communication unit 112 and the sensor unit 111 are connected. FIG. 5 shows functional blocks of the communication unit 112.

  The communication unit 112 is a sensor unit interface unit 310 that is an interface unit that connects to the sensor unit 111, a unit connection detection unit 320 that is a unit connection detection unit that detects connection of the sensor unit 111, and a power control unit that controls the supply of power. A power control unit 321, a communication unit control unit 311 that is a control unit that controls the unit, a communication unit memory unit 312 that is a storage unit that stores the received biological signal data, and the received biological signal data are adapted to the communication line The data format conversion unit 330 is a data format conversion unit for converting to a data format, and the communication line interface unit 331 is an interface unit for transmitting biological signal data to the communication line.

  On the other hand, the connection between the sensor unit 111 and the communication unit 112 is a structure in which a connector having a concavo-convex relationship is attached to each unit one by one, and the connection is made by directly fitting the connector without a cable. However, a configuration via a connection cable may be used.

  Further, the connection between the units allows the communication unit interface unit 230 and the sensor unit interface unit 310 to be connected to each other so that signals can be transmitted and received.

  Next, an operation flow will be described. FIG. 6 is an operation sequence diagram showing that the communication unit 112 and the sensor unit 111 operate in relation to each other.

  First, the sensor unit 111 is disconnected from the communication unit 112. When the inspected person 100 connects the sensor unit 111 to the communication unit 112, the connection state detection unit 220 detects the connection via the communication unit interface unit, stores the connection completion (Y in S601), and starts the power supply. Processing (S602) is executed. Connection detection is a commonly used electrical method. For example, a specific signal line that is pulled up to a logic “H” (high level) is grounded as a result of unit connection, and the logic “ A change to L ″ (low level) is detected.

  Next, the sensor unit 111 has a signal format designated by the communication unit interface unit 230, for example, a pulse-like signal having a pulse width of about 1 millisecond and a period of about 0.1 second (hereinafter referred to as a “connection request signal” for explanation) ) Is repeatedly output (S603).

  On the other hand, the communication unit 112 is in a non-operating state and is in a connection waiting state for the sensor unit 111 (S650). When the inspected person 100 connects the sensor unit 111 to the communication unit 112, the communication unit 112 detects the connection by the unit connection detection unit 320. For example, the connection is detected by detecting a switch operation due to a mechanical action accompanying the fitting of the connector.

  The result of the switch operation also has a predetermined effect on the power control unit 321 via the unit connection detection unit 320. The power control unit 321 controls power supply necessary for operating the communication unit 112 based on an instruction from the unit connection detection unit 320. Therefore, when the person to be inspected connects the units, the power supply from the power supply unit 322 is started via the unit connection detection of the unit connection unit 320, the communication unit 112 is activated, and the initial power supply activation process is performed. (S651).

  When the communication unit 112 starts up, the reception of the connection request signal already sent from the sensor unit 111 is accepted (Y in S660), and the reception process of the connection request signal is started. That is, when the connection request signal input to the sensor unit interface unit 310 is recognized by the sensor unit interface unit 310, reception of the connection request signal is transmitted to the communication unit control unit 311. Receiving the transmission, the communication unit control unit 311 outputs a reception response message to the sensor unit 111 via the sensor unit interface unit 310 (S661).

  When the response message of the communication unit 112 is transmitted to the sensor unit control unit 212 via the communication unit interface 230 (Y in S610), the sensor unit control unit 212 turns on the connection state flag to connect to the connection state detection unit 220. The completion state is registered (S611).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the measured biological signal data exists in the sensor unit 111 (S621). As a result, when the measured biological signal data is stored in the sensor unit 111 (Y in S621), the biological signal data is read from the sensor unit memory unit 213 and transmitted from the communication unit interface unit 230 (S622). .

  The sensor unit interface unit transmits the reception of the biological signal data to the communication unit control unit 311. Upon receiving the transmission, the communication unit control unit 311 sequentially transfers and stores the received biological signal data held by the sensor unit interface unit 310 to the communication unit memory unit 312, and completes the reception data capture processing completion. It responds to 111 (S662).

  In response to the response, the sensor unit 111 performs processing for transmitting the next biological signal data to be transmitted. The transmission process is repeated until all the transmissions are completed (Y in S630) (N in S630). When transmission of all biological signal data is completed, data consisting of a specific code is transmitted to the communication unit side (S622), and the transmission completion of the measured biological signal data is transmitted (S630). Then, after the transmission process is completed, a power-off process is executed (S631).

  The communication unit side maintains the reception state until it receives the data consisting of the specific code indicating the end of transmission (N in S670). When receiving the specific code and detecting the end of reception of all the biological signal data (Y in S670), the communication unit starts transmitting the received / stored biological signal data to the specific external medical institution 130 (S671).

  That is, the received / stored biological signal data is read from the communication unit memory unit 312, the biological signal data is converted into a signal format suitable for the public communication line by the data format conversion unit 330, and the public communication line is transmitted from the communication line interface unit 331. 120, and the measured biological signal data is transferred to a medical institution 130 registered in advance. Then, after the transmission process is completed, a power-off process is executed (S672).

  According to the biological signal transfer apparatus of the first embodiment of the present invention as described above, the unit connection detecting means for detecting the connection of the sensor unit, the power control means for controlling the supply of power, and the interface means for connecting to the sensor unit. And a sensor unit having an interface means for connecting to the communication unit, and the communication unit can be activated by detecting the connection of the sensor unit via the interface means.

  And a sensor unit comprising a storage means for storing the measured biological signal data, a means for indicating presence / absence of the biological signal data stored in the storage means, and a means for indicating a connection state of the communication unit. A connection request signal can be transmitted from the sensor unit to the communication unit via the means.

  Moreover, the biological signal data stored in the sensor unit can be transferred to the communication unit. In the above description, the switch operation due to the mechanical action accompanying the connection of the connector has been described. However, if the unit connection detection unit 320 and the power control unit 321 are in an idling state electrically It goes without saying that unit connection can be detected by simple methods, magnetic methods, and optical methods.

(Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, an operation of measuring a biological signal in a state where the sensor unit and the communication unit are connected and transferring the measured biological signal to an external medical institution will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the communication unit 112 processes a timekeeping unit 313 that performs timekeeping, an operation unit 314 that is an input unit for the examinee to input parameters, a display unit 315 that displays the input parameters, and processes input from the input unit. A communication unit control unit 311 is provided as control means for performing the above. On the other hand, the sensor unit 111 shown in FIG. 2 includes a sensor unit control unit 212 that is a control unit that receives the parameter input of the communication unit 112 and captures and processes the received parameter. The operation of the biological signal transfer apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 is an operation sequence diagram showing an operation in the case of measuring biological signal data in a state where the communication unit 112 and the sensor unit 111 are connected. That is, the connection state flag of the connection state detection unit 220 is ON and the connection completion state is registered on the sensor unit side (Y in S700), while the communication unit side is the unit connection detection unit 320. The connection is detected, and the power control unit 321 is supplying power from the power supply unit 322 to the entire communication unit (Y in S750).

  When a parameter, for example, the current date and time is input from the operation unit 314 on the communication unit side (Y in S760), the communication unit control unit 311 corrects the time measuring unit 313, and the sensor unit 111 also receives the current date and time data. Transmit via the unit interface. When the sensor unit side detects reception by the communication unit interface 230, it transmits the reception to the sensor unit controller 212. As a result, the sensor unit controller 212 fetches the received data from the communication unit 230 and sets the received parameter (S710). When the received parameter is the above-described example, the parameter setting for correcting the timer unit 215 of the sensor unit is performed.

  Next, when the measurement of the biological signal data is started on the sensor unit side, that is, when the measurement electrode 201 that collects a very small amount of blood from the biological signal subject 100 is attached to the measurement unit 210, the electrode detection unit 211 detects the attachment (Y in S720), and transmits the detection to the communication unit side via the communication unit interface unit 230. When the communication unit control unit 311 detects the start of measurement of a biological signal via the sensor unit interface unit 310 (Y in S765), the communication unit control unit 311 transmits the biological signal data measured to the sensor unit control unit to the sensor unit memory. Request to send to the communication unit side without storing in the unit 213 (S766).

  When the measurement of the biological signal performed by the measurement unit 210 (S721) ends, the blood glucose level data is sent to the communication unit 112 side via the communication unit interface 230 based on the control of the sensor unit control unit 212 (S722). The communication unit control unit 311 displays the received measurement data on the display unit 315 together with the current measurement date and time data generated by the communication unit control unit 311, and transmits it to the inspected person 100. At this time, the communication unit control unit 311 performs a display requesting input of measurement conditions, and prompts the subject to input a state during measurement (S767).

  The measurement conditions input from the operation unit 314 by the examinee are confirmed (S770). In the case of fasting measurement (S771), the measured blood glucose level is 140 mg / dl or more, less than 140 mg / dl, 120 mg / dl or more, 120 mg / dl. In the case where a response that is a measurement in 2 hours after a meal is received (S772), the communication unit control unit 311 has a measured blood glucose level of 200 mg / dl or more, less than 200 mg / dl, 170 mg / dl or more, Analyzes are classified as less than 170 mg / dl. The analysis result is displayed on the display unit 315 together with the input measurement conditions. All displayed data is stored in the communication unit memory 312 (S773).

  Next, whether or not the measured biological signal data is to be transmitted to the medical institution is confirmed with the subject via the display unit 315 (S780), and if there is an instruction for transmission (Y in S780), the communication unit The control unit 311 converts the biological signal data stored in the communication unit memory unit 312 into a signal format suitable for the public communication line by the data format conversion unit 330, and transfers the biological signal data from the communication line interface unit 331 to the public communication line 120. The transmitted biosignal data is transmitted to the medical institution 130 registered in advance (S781). In the case of an instruction not to transmit (N in S780), the measurement data is maintained in the state stored in the communication unit memory unit 312.

  The examinee removes the measurement electrode 201 from the sensor unit 111 at the end of the measurement of the biological signal data (S723). The removal of the measurement electrode 201 is detected by the electrode detection unit 211, and the removal of the electrode is transmitted from the electrode detection unit 211 to the communication unit side via the communication unit interface unit 230.

  According to the biological signal transfer apparatus of the second embodiment of the present invention, the input means for inputting the instructed person, the display means for displaying the inputted instruction, the time measuring means for measuring time, and the input means. When the communication unit and the sensor unit are connected by configuring the communication unit including a control unit that processes an instruction and the sensor unit including a control unit that receives and processes an instruction input of the communication unit. In addition, the parameters for measurement can be set from the communication unit.

  The measured biological signal data can be directly stored in the storage means of the communication unit, and the biological signal data can be automatically transmitted to a medical institution designated in advance. During this time, no operation required from the user is required, so that it can be handled very easily.

  In the above description, it has been described that the data is sent to the communication unit side without being stored in the sensor unit memory unit 213. However, even if the data is stored in the sensor unit memory unit 213 and transferred to the communication unit, it can be similarly implemented. Moreover, although the measurement target biological signal has been described as a blood glucose level, it is not limited to blood glucose level measurement.

  As described above, the biological signal transfer apparatus according to the present invention starts up a communication unit that is in a power-off state or a power standby state by connecting the sensor unit to the communication unit, and further stores the communication unit in the sensor unit. Since the biological signal data being transferred is automatically transferred to the communication unit, the operation can be simplified.

  Further, when the sensor unit and the communication unit are connected, the measurement of the biological signal data can also be input from the communication unit as a parameter, and the expandability and flexibility can be given to the use form of the examinee. In addition, the biological signal data is managed centrally by the communication unit and can be automatically transmitted to a medical institution or the like designated in advance, thereby facilitating the handling of the measured biological signal data. Therefore, it is useful as a biological signal transfer device or the like that measures a biological signal and transfers the measured biological signal to a medical institution or the like via a communication line.
