DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a home medical data management device which can communicate via a telephone line between a measuring device for measuring living body information of a home patient and a data processing device of a medical institution.

2. Description of the Related Art With the rise in medical expenses, there is an increasing tendency to treat patients at home. In this case, for the purpose of grasping the biological information of the patient on the medical institution side and eliminating the anxiety of the patient, a measurement device for measuring the biological information of the home patient and a data processing device of the medical institution have conventionally been used. Development of a home medical data management device that enables two-way communication between telephone lines has been actively performed. By using this device, the number of times that a patient who needs periodic examination and diagnosis needs to go to an outpatient facility of a medical institution or request a house call can be reduced.

[0003] For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-49499 discloses that abnormal data is automatically reported to a medical institution when medical data measured by a measuring device is generated, and the medical data of a home patient is accessed by access from the medical institution. A home medical data management device capable of reading out any time and displaying a simple message from the medical institution is disclosed.

However, in this conventional apparatus, when a patient needs to measure data at regular time intervals, the patient himself has to manage the measurement time himself. There was a problem that the correct data that the side wanted was not always obtained. As a countermeasure, Japanese Patent Application No. 4-290194 proposes a home medical data management device that can automatically report the measurement time to the measurement device via a telephone line from a medical institution.

A switch 44, a reservation time / minute switch 45 for setting a reservation time, a medication time switch 46, a measurement time switch 47, and a cancel switch 48 appear.

While the power of the vital sensor 3 is on and the measurement by the various measuring means is not performed, the display unit 3
1 displays the time. The current time can be adjusted by operating the hour setting switch 43 and the minute setting switch 44. That is, when the hour setting switch 43 or the minute setting switch 44 is pressed, the current time setting mode is set, and the time can be adjusted by pressing the hour setting switch 43 or the minute setting switch 44 until a desired number is displayed. . When the operation for adjusting the time is performed, time measurement is automatically started by a timer described later.

After the setting of the current time, when the reservation time / minute switch 45 is first operated to set the reservation time (step S41), a timer to be described later is initialized (step S42), and clocking is started. Then, it is determined whether or not the medication time switch 46 is turned on (step S43).
Is turned on, the time data that has already been set is stored in the memory (see FIG. 6) as the medication time (step S44). Then, it is determined whether or not the cancel switch 48 has been turned on (step S45). If not, it is determined whether or not the reservation hour / minute switch 45 has been turned on (step S46). If the reservation hour / minute switch 45 has not been turned on, it is determined whether or not the timer has counted 10 seconds (step S47). If 10 seconds have elapsed, the reservation time setting ends.

If the medication time switch 46 is turned on in step S43, it is determined whether or not the measurement time switch 47 has been turned on (step S48). If the measurement time switch 47 has been turned on, it has already been set. The present time data is stored in the memory as the measurement time (step S49). Then, the process proceeds to a step S45, and it is determined whether or not the cancel switch 48 is turned on. If the cancel switch 48 is turned on in step S45, the last administration time or measurement time stored in the memory is erased (step S50). When the reservation time / minute switch 45 is turned on in step S46 and the reservation time is set again,
Returning to step S42, the following procedure is repeated. Further, if the time measured by the timer has not passed 10 seconds in step S47, the process returns to step S43 and the following procedure is repeated.

When the current time coincides with the medication time,
A buzzer sounds at a predetermined tone and number of times, and when the current time coincides with the measurement time, the buzzer sounds at a predetermined tone and number of times different from the buzzer at the medication time to notify.

If the current time coincides with the medication time, a buzzer sounds five times (step S83), and it is determined whether the current time coincides with the measurement time (step S84). If the current time does not coincide with the medication time in step S82, the process directly proceeds to step S84.

If the current time coincides with the measurement time in step S84, a buzzer sounds ten times (step S85), and the current time is incremented (step S86). If the current time does not coincide with the measurement time in step S84, this step S8 is directly performed.
Proceed to 6. Then, it is determined whether or not the reservation time setting has been canceled (step S87). If the setting has not been canceled, the process returns to step S82, and the following procedure is repeated. If the setting has been canceled in step S87, the process ends.
