When the management server 200 is actually implemented, each module may be given a name different from the name shown in FIG. 2 .

In addition, the number of modules included in the management server 200 of FIG. 2 may vary each time according to an embodiment. More specifically, the management server 200 of FIG. 2 includes a total of three modules, but according to an embodiment, at least two or more modules are integrated into one module, or at least one or more modules are separated into two or more modules. It may be implemented in the form

The database 210 stores various data necessary for the management server 200 to operate. As an example, the database 210 stores an integrated management program for controlling the operation of the management server 200 , and the database 210 receives the data received by the communication unit 230 from the patient terminal 110 . can be saved

The communication unit 230 communicates with the patient terminal 110 , the caregiver terminal 130 , and the guardian terminal 150 .

The processing unit 250 processes data received by the communication unit 230 and data to be transmitted. The data processed by the processing unit 250 includes data received from the caregiver terminal 130 and the caregiver terminal 150 as well as data received from the patient terminal 110 .

As an embodiment, the processing unit 250 may compare the data received from the patient's smart device 111 with the comparison pattern, and determine whether the comparison result exceeds a preset threshold value. In this embodiment, when the comparison result (comparison value) exceeds a preset threshold value, the processing unit 250 transmits a first notification signal calculated by the output unit 270 to the communication unit 230, which will be described later, to the communication unit. 230 may be controlled to transmit to the caregiver terminal 130 . At this time, if the confirmation signal corresponding to the first notification signal is not received from the caregiver terminal 130 , the communication unit 230 transmits the second notification signal calculated by the output unit 270 to the guardian terminal 150 . A schematic description of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 .

The output unit 270 receives a command from the processing unit 250 and performs a function of calculating and outputting various data. As an example, the output unit 270 may calculate a first notification signal and a second notification signal. In the present invention, the first notification signal means a signal for notifying the caregiver when a patient's emergency is detected, and the second notification signal is a signal for notifying the caregiver after the caregiver receives the first notification signal. It means a signal that is output from the output unit 270 and transmitted to the guardian terminal 150 when there is no improvement.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an emergency situation determination method according to the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a detailed description of the flow of data in the emergency situation determination system 1 described in FIG. 1 , in particular, based on the management server 200 . In other words, FIG. 3 may be implemented by the management server 200 and each module constituting the management server 200 described with reference to FIG. 2 . Hereinafter, descriptions that overlap with those described in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be omitted. decide to do

The communication unit 230 receives a signal from the patient's smart device 111 (S310). In step S310 , the signal received by the communication unit 230 may be the smart phone 113 rather than the smart device 111 .

The processing unit 250 compares and analyzes the received signal with the comparison pattern (S320).

The processing unit 250 calculates the comparison result as a comparison value in step S320, determines whether the calculated comparison value exceeds a preset threshold value (S330), and when the calculated comparison value exceeds a preset threshold value, A first notification signal is transmitted to the caregiver terminal 130 (S340). When the comparison value calculated in step S340 exceeds a preset threshold value, it may mean that an emergency has occurred to the patient. For example, when the processing unit 250 analyzes the biosignals collected in the smart device 111, when the patient's blood pressure is too high or the patient's blood sugar suddenly drops and a hypoglycemic shock occurs, the first notification signal is the caregiver It becomes a condition to be transmitted to the terminal 130 . In addition to the above-described hypertension and hypoglycemic shock, various symptoms may be determined by the processing unit 250 .

Also, the processing unit 250 transmits a command to calculate the first notification signal to the output unit 270 , and the communication unit 230 transmits the first notification signal output from the output unit 270 to the caregiver terminal 130 . If the communication unit 230 , the processing unit 250 , and the output unit 270 constitute a single module (SoC), the processing unit 250 may integrate all of the above-described processes. As another example, the first notification signal and the second notification signal may be stored as data in advance in the database 210 , and in this case, the output unit 270 in the management server 200 may be omitted.

As an optional embodiment, the processing unit 250 may control so that the first notification signal is calculated as a result of receiving a signal from the smart device 111 and then analyzing the signal received within a predetermined time. In this optional embodiment, even if the patient's health condition deteriorates several times per day, the first notification signal is not output in a situation in which the worsening condition can be quickly resolved because there is a caregiver beside the patient. It is characterized by giving a grace time. A value of a predetermined time (grace time) may be preset in the processing unit 250 as a condition for calculating the first notification signal.

After transmitting the first notification signal to the caregiver terminal 130 in step S340, the processing unit 250 determines whether a confirmation signal is received from the caregiver terminal 130 within a specified time (S350), and if the confirmation signal is not received, the caregiver terminal A second notification signal may be transmitted to 130 and the guardian terminal 150, respectively (S370). Step S370 may be implemented in various ways according to embodiments. As another example of step S370, the processing unit 250 may transmit the second notification signal only to the guardian terminal 150, and after transmitting the second notification signal to the caregiver terminal 130 first, after a certain time elapses, the guardian It may be transmitted to the terminal 150 .

In addition, as an optional embodiment of step S350, the confirmation signal may also be divided into a first confirmation signal and a second confirmation signal. Specifically, the processing unit 250 understands that the reception of the first confirmation signal from the caregiver terminal 130 simply means that the first notification signal has been received, and after a certain period of time has elapsed, the second confirmation signal is additionally received from the caregiver terminal 130 . When the confirmation signal is received, it can be understood that the emergency situation occurring to the patient has been resolved. In this optional embodiment, the processing unit 250 additionally receives and analyzes information on the patient's biosignal at the current time together with the second confirmation signal, and the patient's health condition is significantly better than before the first notification signal is transmitted. After confirming that, it is determined that the emergency situation caused to the patient has been resolved, and it may be switched to the standby mode (S360), which will be described later.

The processing unit 250 compares and analyzes the received signal with a comparison pattern to calculate a comparison value, and if the comparison value does not exceed a preset threshold, information on a specific biosignal is generated and received again in the patient's smart device It is possible to control each module included in the management server 200 to wait until it becomes (S360). As shown in FIG. 3 , in step S360 , a confirmation signal corresponding to the first notification signal is received from the caregiver terminal 130 , or a comparison value calculated from the collected bio-signals is less than a threshold value, so the patient's emergency situation is not detected at all. It means a step in which the management server 200 operates in the standby mode when it does not work.

According to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, when a patient's emergency situation is detected based on the patient's biosignal, the patient's caregiver is given an opportunity to primarily resolve the emergency situation, and a confirmation signal When there is no quick response by the caregiver, as in the case in which the . In particular, according to an embodiment, the present invention transmits the second notification signal not only to the caregiver but also to the caregiver to give the caregiver an opportunity to help the patient and resolve the emergency situation once more, and the caregiver to restore the patient's condition It may be implemented so that it can be confirmed early.

4 is a diagram schematically illustrating the embodiment described in FIG. 3 .

4 exemplarily illustrates a screen output through the display of the caregiver terminal 130 when the first notification signal is transmitted to the caregiver terminal 130 . Referring to FIG. 4 , a notice indicating that the first notification signal has been detected to the caregiver along with the siren icon is output from the caregiver terminal 130, and the caregiver who has confirmed this outputs a 'Yes' button 410, a 'No' button 430 And by applying an input to any one of the 'immediate confirmation' button 450 , a page corresponding to the input may be output through the caregiver terminal 130 .

As an example, when the caregiver applies an input to the 'Yes' button 410, a signal confirmation page may be output. Although not shown in FIG. 4 , the signal confirmation page may include the patient's GPS location, estimated information of the emergency situation the patient is currently experiencing, and the like.

As another example, when the caregiver applies an input to the 'No' button 430 , a signal confirmation page is not output, and a confirmation signal is not transmitted from the caregiver terminal 130 to the management server 200 . Caregivers can take follow-up measures by contacting the customer center or the guardian's phone number, which is printed later.

As another example, when the caregiver applies an input to the 'immediate confirmation' button 450 , a signal confirmation page is not output, but an immediate confirmation signal is transmitted to the management server 200 . In this case, it is a case that can occur when the patient temporarily deteriorates in a state where the caregiver is right next to the patient, and the caregiver sends a confirmation signal to the management server 200 It can end an emergency.

5 is a flowchart illustrating another example of an emergency situation determination method according to the present invention.

The description of steps S310 to S350 in FIG. 5 overlaps with that described in FIG. 3 and thus will be omitted.

If the confirmation signal is not received from the caregiver terminal 130 within the specified time, the processing unit 250 may determine whether access to the chat room to which the caregiver and the guardian belong through the communication network (S510).

The chat room to which the caregiver and the guardian belong means a space where the caregiver and the guardian can communicate by message, and may be implemented by an application (app) installed in the caregiver terminal 130 and the guardian terminal 150 . In the chat room to which the caregiver and the guardian belong, the caregiver and the guardian can communicate through message input, and the management server 200 cannot intervene in a general situation.

However, in the present invention, if a confirmation signal is not received from the caregiver terminal 130 within a specified time in order to promptly notify the caregiver and the caregiver of the patient's emergency and quickly recover the patient's health, both the caregiver and the protector belong A warning message or a notification message may be output to the chat room in which there is (S530). In order to smoothly implement step S530, the chat room app installed on the caregiver terminal 130 and the guardian terminal 150 is distributed from the management server 200 and is preferably a client capable of interworking with the management server 200 .

6 is a diagram schematically showing a chat room to which the caregiver and guardian described in FIG. 5 belong.

Fig. 6 (A) is a list of guardians with whom the caregiver had a conversation, and Fig. 6 (B) is a conversation made in a chat room where the caregiver inputs input to the guardian D of patient C in FIG. 6 (A). shown as an example. 6(A) is a chat room list set based on the caregiver, but it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the chat room list set based on the guardian also has a form similar to that of FIG. 6(A). .

7 is a diagram schematically illustrating a second notification signal output to a chat room.

7A exemplarily illustrates that the notification message 710 according to the second notification signal has just been output to the chat room to which the caregiver and the guardian B belong.

FIG. 7B illustrates a visual notification message 730 that can be checked when the caregiver or guardian B enters the chat room in FIG. 7A . Referring to (B) of FIG. 7 , the second notification signal is processed into a message input by a subject independent of the caregiver or guardian B, and the caregiver and the guardian B can quickly check and respond to the notification message output to the chat room. do.

As an extended embodiment of FIG. 7B , an auditory effect may be added while a notification message is output to the chat room, and the added auditory effect may include a notification setting preset in the chat room according to the patient's emergency level. It may be ignored and output to the caregiver terminal 130 and the guardian terminal 150 . For example, even if the caregiver and guardian turn off the notification output setting of the chat room, when a notification message (or warning message) is output to the chat room according to the second notification signal, the chat room setting is temporarily ignored and visual or auditory A message configured as an enemy may be output through the caregiver terminal 130 and the guardian terminal 150 .

8 is a flowchart illustrating another example of an emergency situation determination method according to the present invention.

8 is an embodiment on the premise that a caregiver creates a care diary periodically or aperiodically while caring for a patient. The care log written by the caregiver is transmitted to the management server 200 for processing, and the processed care log is delivered to the caregiver, thereby reducing the burden of writing the care diary for the caregiver. You can check the diary. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the same process as that of FIG. 3 is performed unless there is an explicit objection in the description of FIG. 8 .

First, when an emergency situation for the patient occurs, the processing unit 250 calculates a first notification signal and controls it to be transmitted to the caregiver terminal 130 , and the communication unit 230 receives a confirmation signal from the caregiver terminal 130 . can At this time, since the calculated first notification signal is created based on the previously received patient's bio-signal, the processing unit 250 determines how the patient's bio-signal changed through the first notification signal and what results are estimated for the change. information can be judged.

The processing unit 250 may receive and analyze the first notification signal from the output unit 270 , and then transmit it to the communication unit 230 ( S810 ). In this process, the result of analyzing the first notification signal is stored in the processing unit 250 or the database 210 .

Then, the communication unit 230 may receive the care diary information from the caregiver terminal 130 (S820).

The processing unit 250 adds the analysis result of the first notification signal to the care diary information received in step S820 (S830).

When a signal for calling the care diary is received from the guardian terminal 150 (S840), the processing unit 250 transmits data to the guardian terminal 150 to output the analysis result of the care log and the first notification signal to the guardian terminal 150 ) can be transmitted to (S850).

9 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a care diary converted by a management server.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the caregiver may fill out a caregiver diary 910 in the form of a checklist through the caregiver terminal 130 . The checklist form of the care diary 930 may include information on mood, condition, body temperature, number of meals, sleep time, whether or not taking a nap, stool and urine for the patient.

Also, the caregiver may create a free-form caregiver diary 930 through the caregiver terminal 130 . The free-form care log 930 can be freely created by a caregiver through a text editor that does not have any special restrictions on the input method, and in general, the free-form care log 930 is information that the caregiver learned while caring for the patient on the day. is expressed through multiple sentences.

The caregiver receives a request from the guardian to the effect that it must be written in the care diary, and according to the request, specific contents may be written to be included in the care diary. For example, if the guardian requests that the patient's urine color and frequency of urine be recorded in the care diary and sets it, the item is added to the checklist form's care log (910) and free-form care log (930) As a result, the caregiver can see the added item and write information corresponding to the item.

The management server 200 may convert the form of a care diary written by a caregiver. Learning that the caregiver prefers to write a checklist form of a care diary and that the guardian prefers to view a free form care diary, the management server 200 stores the care diary 910 of the checklist form written by the caregiver. It can be converted into a free-form nursing diary (930). As another example, the management server 200 may convert the free-form care diary 930 prepared by the caregiver into the checklist-type care diary 910 . In addition, as another embodiment, the management server 200 may read the settings of the app installed on the guardian terminal 150 and convert the care diary written by the caregiver into a format desired by the guardian.

As an optional embodiment, the management server 200 receives the care diary information for the patient from the caregiver terminal 130 and converts the received care diary information into another form, while the transmission history of the first notification signal (analysis result) ) can be added. According to this optional embodiment, it is possible to provide accurate information to the caregiver even if the caregiver forgets that the patient's emergency has occurred and does not record it in the care diary. Specifically, the patient has an emergency 3 times on one day, and the first notification signal is transmitted to the caregiver terminal 130 3 times, but the caregiver immediately confirms it and the second notification signal has never been calculated, even if the patient History information of three emergency situations (transmission history of the first notification signal) is automatically added to the care log, so the guardian can see the care log and accurately understand the situation that has occurred to the patient.

Referring to FIG. 9 , a transmission history 950 of the first notification signal corresponding to the checklist-type care log 930 is added to the care diary 910 in the checklist form, and similarly, a care diary in the free form At 930 , a transmission history 970 of the first notification signal corresponding to the free-form care log 930 is added. As shown in FIG. 9 , even if the caregiver does not record separately in the care diary, the transmission history of the first notification signal is added to the care diary. By reading the transmission history 970, it is possible to know that an emergency has occurred three times to the patient on August 10, 2021.

As described above, the management server 200 not only functions to convert the forms of the care diary, but also adds the information included in the first notification signal to the care diary, thereby reducing the burden of the caregiver writing the care diary, and helping the caregiver Provides accurate information about the patient's condition.

10 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a caregiver announcement when the present invention is applied.

The caregiver notice of FIG. 10 includes a patient information page 1000 for providing the caregiver with a summary of the patient's information, and the patient information page 1000 includes the patient's name, the hospital where the patient is hospitalized, and the guardian's contact information in addition to the smart phone number. Device possession information 1010 and smart device collection data information 1030 may be included. The smart device possession information 1010 is information indicating whether the patient has the smart device as O or X. The smart device collection data information 1030 is patient characteristic information collected by analyzing data collected by smart devices in the past, and includes brief information that a caregiver can refer to when working as a caregiver.

A caregiver can filter only patients who have a smart device among a plurality of caregiver announcements and apply for the announcement, and the management server 200 is smart based on the past first notification signal, confirmation signal, second notification signal, etc. For patients who have devices, smart device possession information 1010 and smart device collection data information 1030 may be further added to the caregiver notification.

As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the management server 200 may allow the caregiver to effectively assist the patient's daily drug administration behavior through the following process. In general, patients purchase over-the-counter medications from pharmacies to treat other underlying diseases in addition to prescription medications prescribed at the hospital. will assist

However, since administering medicines to others other than doctors or nurses may pose a problem under the Medical Act, in order to fundamentally eliminate the potential for problems in the future, the management server 200 is configured every time a caregiver helps a patient to administer medicines. Caregivers and guardians can be intermediary to obtain parental consent.

First, when it is time to administer the medicine, the management server 200 transmits a third notification signal to the caregiver terminal 130 and the guardian terminal 150 . The caregiver may recognize that it is time to administer the medicine to the patient through the caregiver terminal 130 , and the guardian may input to the effect that the caregiver agrees to the medication administration through the guardian terminal 150 . In this case, the input to the guardian terminal 150 may be a signature (signature) of the guardian. The management server 200 transmits the signature received from the guardian terminal 150 to the caregiver terminal 130 , and the caregiver who confirms the guardian's consent through the caregiver terminal 130 can administer the medicine to the patient. According to an embodiment, the management server 200 may start the process according to the input input to the caregiver terminal 130 without measuring the time to administer the medicine, or the medicine is not administered, so there is an abnormality in the patient's biosignal. Only when it is detected, the process of administering medicines can be entered with the consent of the guardian.

According to the present invention, it is possible to quickly detect the occurrence of an emergency situation in a patient through a smart device that is attached to the patient and collects bio-signals and promotes early recovery of the patient.

According to the present invention, when an emergency situation occurs to a patient, the patient can be saved before the patient's health condition deteriorates further by quickly communicating the occurrence of the emergency to the caregiver and guardian of the patient.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to assist the work of a caregiver taking care of a patient, so that even if the caregiver is away for other tasks, the caregiver can quickly recognize the occurrence of an emergency of the patient.

In addition, according to the present invention, the guardian of the patient can quickly determine the change in the patient's health status and the appropriateness of the caregiver's work through the additional information recorded in the care diary.
