The present invention relates to an input device installed at the home of a healthcare client and a server installed at a contracted medical institution connected via a communication line such as a public line, a dedicated line, or a CATV line. In this home health care system, a home health care system based on daily physical condition data felt by the client every day is to be constructed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a home health care system that transmits blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, body fat, body weight, etc. to a medical institution and monitors the disease based on the data. Is an indispensable element.

[0003] Physical condition is important when a physician judges a medical condition based on a patient's complaint at the time of medical examination. At home, a health care commissioner must use a keyboard to input words in order to input a physical condition. Must. Even if the physical condition is input by this method, in order to utilize it as a database, it is necessary to classify again by medical condition according to human judgment and input again.

[0004]

Human beings naturally acquire "gaman" naturally, which may lead to onset or a serious medical condition. Although it is referred to as early detection or early treatment, most people consult with a doctor after being unable to endure themselves. It is important to be able to convey the physical condition that you feel in a straightforward and natural manner at any time. Also,
If the status of the complaint can be linked to the suspicion of the type of illness based on the illness, the possibility of finding the illness early will increase.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to achieve home health management based on a complaint of physical condition (complaining of poor physical condition) in a home health management system.
Even at home, even the slightest change in the body that I feel everyday can be easily input as data every day,
Check the daily health status of the person who wishes to outsource home health care, make appropriate health and medical advice, and judge the connection between the content of the complaint and the disease as soon as possible, and treat the patient as soon as possible. And to provide a home health care system that does not cause serious medical conditions.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an input device installed at the home of a health care client and a server installed at a contracted medical institution are connected to a public line or a dedicated line. In a home health care system connected via a communication line such as a CATV line, the data of daily physical complaints felt by the client are input / transmitted as health management check data and monitored at the terminal of the medical institution. At the same time, a home health management system was developed for data on physical condition complaints that was stored as an individual database.

Further, a home health care system is provided which makes it easy to understand the site of the charge so that even elderly persons and other persons who cannot operate the computer or who are not good at the computer can easily input. did. That is, as described in claim 2, in the home health care system according to claim 1, the input device of the health care entrustor is:
A home health care system having input means including a part name and an input button representing a plurality of charged parts on a human figure in advance.

Further, in the home health care system having the input means according to the second aspect, two types of input methods are prepared according to the operation ability for inputting. Part 1
As described in claim 3, the input button provided by representing the charged part on a human figure is a push type or a touch type,
This is a home health management system that can display and transmit the degree of charge by the number of times of pressing or touching.
Displays the detailed symptom item of the accused part on the display in conjunction with the operation of the input button provided by representing the accused part on a human figure as described in claim 4, and the selected detailed symptom. It is a home health management system that allows transmission of items.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the device itself functions as an independent device, and the part button to be charged with a human shape is uncomfortable depending on the number of times the button is pressed from the normal state of the energized state. This is a “simple independent method” in which a mechanism for expressing the degree of

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the home television is linked to a computer so that when a participant button is pressed, the contents of a symptom to be prosecuted are displayed in more detail and the item can be selected. This is an "item selection method" in which the contents are displayed on a display such as a computer monitor.
For example, when the head hurts, if the user touches the head of a humanoid input device or presses a button, the contents of the head ache are listed on a display of a television or a computer. So, for example, if you move the cursor of the input device and press the input button at the item closest to your symptoms, the symptoms are transmitted to the server of the medical institution through the public line, dedicated line, CATV line etc. .

[0011] These physical condition complaint data are converted into a database every day and accumulated, and the physical condition data input / transmitted every day are analyzed to sequentially execute health / medical advice. As a result, the health condition data input by the health care entrustor using the physical condition data input device installed at home is monitored at the terminal of the medical institution, and the health / health condition is appropriately determined.
Medical advice can be provided. Due to the relationship between the pre-existing disease and the content of the complaint, if important complaint data is received,
It is also possible to set a threshold value for notifying abnormalities, so that there is no omission in the monitoring system.

According to the contents of the complaint, (1) the complaint that needs urgent response, (2) the compounded complaint data containing important elements that seem to require urgent response, ( 3) Charged physical condition data that is repeatedly input is an important factor in knowing the transition of the health status of the health care client. In addition, it can be used as an important signal that leads to early detection of a disease that seems to be affected by the contents of the physical condition complaint.

[0013] The "simple independent method" is extremely effective when a physician watches a change in the condition of a chronic disease, and the "item selection method" makes a comprehensive judgment on health management. As described below, it is useful for early detection of a disease based on the status of a complaint.

(1) Compound infringement data containing important factors that seem to require urgent action "Headache + obscured and difficult to see + nausea""Otal head hurts + nausea""Eye congestion "I have a change in my vision and visual field.""The cough and tan continue. + I hear a ze-e sound each time I breathe. +" I feel stuffy. "" The chest hurts. + I feel stuffy. "" The stomach hurts. Pain as if coming out of back. "Constipation + Pain as if coming out of belly to back + nausea.""Easy to be tired. + Frequent urine frequency + nausea." Physical condition A complaint of physical condition, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and repetitive pain in the same area, which can be easily input at home even if it is something that is usually put up, can be detected and treated early before a serious medical condition occurs. At home It is indispensable in health care.

[0015] (3) Relationship between the state of complaint and illness "Stroke": headache, temporal pain, back pain in eyes + blurred eyes, abdominal pain + nausea ( Vomiting) "Subarachnoid hemorrhage": headache + occipital ache / abdominal pain + nausea (vomiting) "Retinal detachment or brain disease": deep inside of the eyes + obscurity and difficulty seeing Pain in the back of eyes + changes in vision and visual field "Heart failure": sore throat + coughing and spontaneous throat + sore throat + breathing sound every time I breathe / chest pain + breathlessness "angina pectoris""Heartfailure": Neck hurts; Neck lymph nodes detach "Acute pancreatitis": Stomach hurts + Stab hurts / Chest hurts +
Nausea painful back + pain from belly to back "Intestinal obstruction": constipation + stomach swelling-back pain + pain from back to back from belly-chest Pain + nausea "Uremic": Somehow feeling unwell + sickness (malaise) Pain when urinating + Redness and turbidity in urine / Chest painful + nausea and so on.

"Chest""belly""hip""rightpeach""rightknee""rightfoot""leftpeach""leftknee""leftfoot""urine""stool" and "general"
There are input means in which the 23 item names 5 and input buttons 6 are arranged so as to be easily seen.

The input button 6 may be of a touch sensor type, a liquid crystal touch panel type, a push button switch type or the like. The input person presses or touches the input button 6 of the part of the physical condition complaint,
Allow the client to identify the area that the doctor wants to appeal to.

The following two methods can be adopted as the notification method of the contents of the lawsuit. 1. Simple independent method The input button 6 of the part to be charged with a humanoid is a method in which the degree of uncomfortable charge is expressed by the number of times the input button 6 is pressed from the normal state of the energized state. Is light green when the power is on standby.
When you select the part you want to sue and press the button "once", the color of the button changes from light green to yellow. Yellow is transmitted through the modem as a "slightly ill" signal. Once pressed, the button that turned yellow will turn red again, ie, if pressed twice.
Red is transmitted as a "very bad condition" signal.

In this simple system, a physician continually examines the health condition of a health care client and knows his / her usual medical condition sufficiently. Suitable for.

It is easy for the doctor to understand the condition of poor condition and to understand the degree of badness easily. Usually, a doctor who continues to treat the health condition of a health care consignor as a home doctor can use this information alone for the clinician. You can know the medical condition of.

There is a simplicity that the system operation can be left to the ingenuity of each system developer without operating in combination with software systematically, and for the operation after the modem.

2. Item selection method When pressing the input button 6 which wants to be charged with 23 parts, Table 1
Then, as shown in Table 2, the contents of the complaint at the site are displayed on the monitor, the cursor is moved to the item of the complaint symptom closest to the physical condition felt by the user, and the OK button (O button) is pressed to input.

The consignor inputs the status of these physical complaints every day. If it is possible to easily inform the doctor of the state of the complaint, the number of cases in which it is possible to prevent a serious medical condition due to delay by the doctor's decision will be increased. Daily health care is a very important sign.

The "item selection method" of the present invention is used for early detection of the illness of the client and judgment of the progress of the medical condition, depending on the contents of the selected items and a combination of several items. The data is immediately transmitted to the server 2 of the contracted medical institution through a communication line 4 such as a general line, a dedicated line, and a CATV line.
