Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an online asthma diary that enables medical personnel, asthma patients and the general public to effectively use asthma diary information of asthma patients online by using the Internet. It is about the system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The number of asthma patients has been increasing year by year, and the most important thing in treating asthma is to properly manage it on a daily basis. Therefore, in the treatment of asthma, in general, an asthma patient is made to create a diary (hereinafter referred to as “asthma diary”) that describes certain matters or findings related to asthma, and the attending physician will write this asthma diary. In many cases, operations such as setting a treatment policy are performed.

In such an asthma diary, various information such as symptoms or changes of asthma, living conditions or environmental conditions related to asthma, peak flow values, medication results, findings of asthma patients, etc. "Diary information".) Is recorded. Then, the attending physician can establish an effective treatment policy by referring to or analyzing the asthma diary information. The peak flow value is a numerical value that objectively indicates the degree of bronchial stenosis of an asthma patient, that is, the state of asthma, which is measured using a simple pulmonary function testing device called a peak flow meter.

[0004]

However, such a conventional asthma diary basically only provides one-way information such as providing the data created by the asthma patient to the attending physician at the time of examination. However, there is a problem that it is difficult for asthma patients to create an asthma diary. Also,
If the asthma patient is busy or has insufficient understanding of the significance of the asthma diary, he / she often neglects to create the asthma diary, and in such a case, the attending physician will fully understand the asthma state of the asthma patient. Is difficult. Furthermore, even if an asthma patient creates an asthma diary, he / she cannot know this unless he / she presents it to his / her doctor at the time of examination. There is also a problem that you cannot do it.

By the way, in recent years, an asthma diary (asthma diary) is created by using an i-mode of an electronic notebook or a mobile phone, and an asthma patient can easily input his / her own symptom, PEF value, medication status and the like. Such an electronic system has been proposed. Furthermore, an electronic system has been proposed in which the peak flow value measured by an asthma patient is transmitted to a medical institution using a telephone line. However,
These electronic systems basically only provide one-way information such as providing materials created by an asthma patient to the attending physician, so generally, the same problems as in the case of a paper asthma diary are encountered. is there.

[0006] The applicant of the present application has filed No. 1205 to "Allergy 47 (11)" in 1998.
On page 1209, an electronic system is disclosed in which an asthma patient sends an asthma diary to a medical institution using a “form” provided on a homepage of the Internet. However, even this electronic system only provides one-way information such as providing materials created by an asthma patient to the attending physician, and thus has the same problem as in the case of a conventional paper asthma diary.

[0007] In general, the asthma diary information of one asthma patient is also useful for other asthma patients. However, in the conventional paper-based asthma diary or the above-mentioned conventional electronic system using an electronic notebook, a telephone line, the Internet, etc., the asthma diary information of a certain asthma patient is basically used only by the attending physician of the asthma patient. However, there is also a problem that the asthma diary information is not used effectively.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can increase the motivation of an asthma patient to create asthma diary information, and can easily create asthma diary information. Furthermore, it is an issue to be solved to provide means for enabling effective use of asthma diary information.

[0009]

The online asthma diary system according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, includes (i) a server computer having a web page for recording predetermined asthma diary information for each asthma patient. And (ii)
A web page (server computer) can be accessed online via the Internet, the asthma diary information recorded in the web page can be read out, and the web page may include a predetermined message including a message to an asthma patient. A medical institution side terminal (for example, a computer, a personal computer, an i-mode mobile phone, etc.) to which information can be written, and (iii) a web page (server computer) can be accessed online via the Internet. An asthma terminal (eg, computer, personal computer, i-mode) capable of reading asthma diary information recorded on the page and writing predetermined information relating to asthma of the asthma patient on the web page. Mobile phone, etc.)
And (iv) a web page (server computer) can be accessed online via the Internet and the asthma diary information recorded in the web page can be read out by a general-purpose terminal (for example, a computer or a personal computer). , I-mode mobile phones, etc.), (v) asthma patients can publish asthma diary information to medical personnel and the general public, and (vi) medical personnel can asthma in real time. Asthma status of patients can be known, asthma-related advice can be given to asthma patients, and (vii) the asthma diary information of asthma patients can be obtained. It is characterized by that.

[0010] In short, this online asthma diary system uses the Internet, which has become popular in homes in recent years, and records the asthma diary information that was conventionally recorded on paper at home on the web page of the server computer on the Internet. It is a thing. Then, the asthma diary information recorded on the web page can be freely browsed (as long as the asthma patient consents to the disclosure) by medical personnel, asthma patients and the general public. In particular, medical personnel can view or evaluate the asthma diary information in real time and immediately give advice to asthma patients on the treatment of asthma. In other words, this web page becomes a database of asthma diary information.

Thus, when the asthma patient writes the asthma diary information on the web page, a response thereto is immediately sent from the medical personnel to the asthma patient if necessary. Therefore, the asthma patient has a strong interest in the asthma diary information, and the motivation of the asthma patient to create the asthma diary information can be increased. Moreover, asthma patients can easily write asthma diary information by using a personal computer, an i-mode mobile phone, or the like. Furthermore, medical personnel, asthma patients, and the general public can effectively use the asthma diary information of each asthma patient by using a computer, a personal computer, an i-mode mobile phone, or the like.

[0012] In the online asthma diary system, the web page records at least asthma-related living conditions, asthma symptoms, medication status and peak flow values of asthma patients as asthma diary information. It is preferable that the computer automatically collects, edits or analyzes (analyzes) the asthma diary information, and records the totalized result, the edited result or the analysis result (analysis result) on the web page. In this case, the medical staff, the asthma patient or the general public can quickly or automatically grasp or evaluate the condition of the asthma patient based on the automatically created totalization result, editing result or analysis result.

When the asthma patient neglects to record the asthma diary information on the web page, the server computer transmits a message prompting the asthma diary information to be written to the terminal device of the asthma patient. Is preferred. In this case, it is possible to effectively prevent the asthma patient from accidentally forgetting to write the asthma diary information.

When the asthma condition of the asthma patient deteriorates to a predetermined degree, the server computer automatically sends a countermeasure for improving the condition to the terminal device of the asthma patient side. Good. In this case, the asthma patient can very effectively cope with the deterioration of the asthma condition.

Further, the server computer is adapted to send a message (or e-mail) prompting a predetermined action for coping with asthma to the terminal device of the asthma patient at a desired time. Good. By doing so, for example, it is possible to notify an asthma patient who has just begun to take medication or has just begun self-management of asthma, the time to take medication and to prompt the measurement of the peak flow value. Further, it is possible to notify the asthma patient of the day when the asthma patient should go to the hospital, the contents of the examination on that day, the remaining amount of the drug, and the like.

Further, the server computer may transmit an address (URL) of a website that provides useful information about asthma to the asthma patient to the asthma patient terminal. In this way, asthma patients can obtain useful information about asthma very easily.

[0017]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below. In this embodiment, a personal computer is used as the terminal on the medical institution side or the asthma patient side, but the terminal is not limited to the personal computer, and the server computer can be accessed using the Internet. Any item may be used (for example, an i-mode mobile phone). As shown in Figure 1,
The online asthma diary system 1 according to the present invention (hereinafter,
Abbreviated as "system 1". ) Is substantially a server computer 3 and a medical institution side personal computer 4 (hereinafter, abbreviated as "medical side personal computer 4") that can exchange information with each other using the Internet 2.
And an asthma patient side personal computer 5 (hereinafter abbreviated as "patient side personal computer 5") and a general person side personal computer 6 (hereinafter abbreviated as "general personal computer 6").

Here, the medical-side personal computer 4 is a personal computer installed in a medical institution that treats asthma and used by medical personnel such as the attending physician of an asthma patient. The patient-side personal computer 5 is a personal computer used by an asthma patient (hereinafter referred to as “registered patient”) who is registered in the system 1 and who is continuously receiving asthma treatment at the medical institution. The general personal computer 6 is various personal computers connected to the Internet 2 and used by ordinary persons. Medical computer 4, patient computer 5 and general computer 6
Both can access the web page of the server computer 3 online via the Internet 2.

The server computer 3 has a web page or website for recording predetermined asthma diary information for each registered patient. Medical computer 4
Can read the asthma diary information recorded on the web page of the server computer 3, and can write various information such as a message to the registered patient on this web page. The patient-side personal computer 5 can read the asthma diary information recorded on the web page of the server computer 3, and writes predetermined information (asthma diary time information) related to the asthma of the registered patient on this web page. Is able to. The general personal computer 6 can read out the asthma diary information recorded on the web page of the server computer 3 and which the registered patient has consented to release.

The system 1 has the following basic functions. First, the registered patient can disclose the asthma diary information to medical personnel and the general public (particularly, asthmatic patients other than the registered patient). It should be noted that it is possible to refuse the disclosure. The medical staff can know the asthma state of the registered patient in real time, and can give various advice on the asthma treatment to the registered patient in real time. The general public can view the asthma diary information of registered patients. In other words, in this system 1, not only the attending physician and the registered patient himself can view the asthma diary information of the registered patient, but also general Internet users can view it as a fighting sickness diary of asthma.

The more specific structure and function of the system 1 will be described below. In the system 1, the web page of the server computer 3 records various asthma diary information individually for each registered patient. The asthma diary information is roughly classified into information about the environment of the registered patient (hereinafter referred to as “environmental information”) and information about the registered patient itself (hereinafter referred to as “patient information”). Examples of the environmental information include the date when the registered patient wrote the asthma diary information on the web page, and the weather (weather, temperature, humidity, etc.) of the day.

As the patient information, information on the living condition of the registered asthma patient on that day (hereinafter referred to as "living condition information"), information on asthma symptoms (hereinafter referred to as "symptom information"), and registered patient Information obtained by measuring using various testing equipment (hereinafter referred to as "measurement information") and information on taking or treating therapeutic drugs of registered patients (hereinafter,
It is called "medication information". ) And information in which the registered patient is aware of what he / she has noted in a memo format (hereinafter referred to as “memo information”).

Here, as the living situation information, for example,
Examples include the sleep mode, appetite mode, presence or absence of commuting or attending school (school attendance), and presence or absence of exercise or physical education classes of registered patients. Examples of the symptom information include the presence or absence of a seizure, the presence or absence of a cough, the presence or absence of a wheezing, the presence or absence of a nasal discharge, or the presence or absence of a fever. As the measurement information, a peak flow value measured using a peak flow meter, a body temperature measured using a thermometer,
Examples include blood pressure measured using a sphygmomanometer. The medication information includes the type of therapeutic drug taken, the dose or frequency of taking the drug.

When the registered patient writes the asthma diary information on the web page, the server computer 3 immediately and automatically compiles or edits the asthma diary information of the registered patient, and outputs the result of the compilation or the edited result to the web. Record on page. This allows the server computer 3
Can process the asthma diary information of each registered patient into various forms and provide it by using the totalized result or the edited result. For example, for any item of asthma diary information, data on any date or any period,
It can be displayed in the form of a sentence, a table, or a graph (hereinafter, the asthma diary information processed and displayed in this manner is referred to as “processing display information”). Then, the medical staff, the registered patient, or the general public can access the web page of the server computer 3 using the respective personal computers 4 to 6 and browse the processed display information.

FIG. 2 shows a concrete example of the processing display information. The processed display information is created based on the data for two days. Further, FIGS. 3 and 4 show specific examples of the processing display information in which the peak flow value is displayed in a line graph. The processed display information shown in FIG. 3 is created based on the data for four days. Further, in the processed display information shown in FIG. 4, the line graph of the peak flow value shows data for about half a year. Thus, the system 1 can display not only the processing display information for a short period but also the processing display data for a very long period. Therefore, the state of asthma over a long period of treatment or the changing tendency of the therapeutic effect can be accurately grasped.

Further, the server computer 3 analyzes or analyzes a predetermined item in the asthma diary information and records the analysis result on the web page. For example, looking back at the past, grasping the average state of living conditions or symptoms within a certain period of time, and obtaining the degree of achievement (or degree of deviation) of the recent living conditions or symptoms to the target living state or symptoms, etc. Such an analysis is performed. In addition, the average value of peak flow values within a certain period of time is calculated retroactively, and the degree of reaching the peak flow target value of the latest peak flow value is calculated. The peak flow target value is
This is a value obtained by estimating the peak flow value when the management status of the registered patient is good, considering the past peak flow value and symptoms of the registered patient. As a result, the server computer 3 can display extremely useful information for grasping and treating the asthma state of the registered patient (hereinafter, the analysis result displayed in this way is referred to as “analysis display information”).
Say. ). In addition, it is also possible to infer the days on which an asthma attack is likely to occur based on asthma diary information of a plurality of registered patients.

FIG. 5 shows a specific example of analysis display information on living conditions. This analysis and display information is created based on four types of living situation information for about one month, that is, sleep, appetite, school, and physical education, and is displayed in the form of a spider graph. Has been done. In addition, in FIG. 5, the actual analysis display information (Actua
In addition to l), the target value (Goal) is also displayed. According to FIG. 5, it is possible to easily grasp the degree of arrival (or degree of deviation) of the recent living condition to the target living condition.

FIG. 6 shows a specific example of analysis and display information on symptoms. This analysis display information is about 4 months.
Seed symptoms: Cough, Wheezing,
Created based on runny nose (Rhino) and fever (Fever),
It is displayed in the form of a spider graph. Note that FIG.
In addition to the actual analysis display information (Actual), the target value (Goal) is also displayed inside. According to FIG. 6, the degree of achievement (or degree of deviation) of the recent symptoms to the target symptoms
Can be easily grasped.

FIG. 7 and FIGS. 8A to 8C show specific examples of analysis display information regarding the peak flow value. This analysis display information is created based on the peak flow value for about one month. In FIG. 7, the temporal change of the peak flow value is displayed. In FIGS. 8A to 8C, respectively, the degree of reaching the target value of the peak flow value,
The daily fluctuation of the peak flow value and the average value of the peak flow value are displayed. According to FIG. 7 and FIGS. 8A to 8C, it is possible to easily grasp the recent peak flow value, that is, the state of asthma, the degree of reaching the target value, and the like.

FIG. 9 shows a specific example of analysis display information on medication. This analysis display information is created based on the medication record over about one month. According to FIG. 9, it is possible to easily grasp the recent medication record. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, by accessing the web page of the server computer 3, the profile of the registered patient can be browsed.

Further, when the registered patient neglects to write the asthma diary information on the web page, particularly when it is neglected for a long period of time, the server computer 3 sends a message prompting the patient side computer to write the asthma diary information. 5 to call the registered patient's attention. Furthermore, when the asthma condition of the registered patient deteriorates to a predetermined degree, the server computer 3 automatically sends a countermeasure for improving the condition to the patient computer 5. For example, it is recommended to receive consultation from the attending physician as soon as possible, or an alert (warning) may be displayed so that the medication may be taken more strictly. In addition,
This countermeasure may be transmitted to the medical computer 4.

Further, the server computer 3 sends a message (or e-mail) prompting various actions (hereinafter referred to as "asthma coping action") for coping with asthma at the time (date and time) desired by the registered patient. It is transmitted to the patient-side computer 5. For example, enrolled patients who have just begun to take medication or who have just begun self-management of asthma often inadvertently forget these as asthma coping behaviors have not become a habit. So, let's inform them about the time of medication,
It encourages the measurement of peak flow values. In addition, the date of medical examination at the medical institution, the contents of the examination on that day, the remaining amount of the drug, etc. are notified. Furthermore, the server computer 3 transmits the URL (location) of a website that provides useful information about asthma to registered patients to the asthma patient computer.

As described above, in the system 1, as compared with the asthma diary described in the conventional paper, the work of filling in the asthma diary information of the registered patient is simplified, and the asthma diary information is transmitted from the server computer 3 or the medical institution. Since a response is made in real time to the writing as needed, the enrollment patient's willingness to create asthma diary information is increased. Even so, however, it cannot be denied that it is a tedious task to continue to write the asthma diary information every day without omission.

Therefore, in this system 1, the screen displayed on the display of the patient side computer 5 is devised so as to attract the interest of the registered patient, and the registered patient is prevented from neglecting to write the asthma diary information. I am trying. Specifically, the design of the screen is changed according to the contents of the asthma diary information so as to attract the interest of the registered patient. More specifically, symbols such as icons (symbolized illustrations) are designed according to the daily living situation, asthma symptoms of registered patients, scoring of medication status, etc. and the mode of peak flow value. I am trying to change.

For example, when this system 1 is used, a symbol is displayed on the top page displayed after the user has been authenticated by using the user name and password.
Therefore, for example, "tree" is used as a symbol, and the tree grows, bears flowers and fruits, and sometimes withers, depending on the recording condition of asthma diary information, presence / absence of medication, peak flow value, etc. The symbols are variously changed. Note that “flower”, “small animal” or the like may be used as the symbol.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the variation form of the symbol when "tree" is used as the symbol.
As shown in FIG. 11, when the condition of good management continues for a long time, the tree gradually grows, or blooms or bears a fruit (in FIG. 11, it changes from the symbol on the left side to the symbol on the right side). ). In addition, when the management condition deteriorates, the growth of trees stops or the growth reverses. Furthermore, when the management condition deteriorates, trees may die. The tree grows as the number of days to write the asthma diary information increases, or as the number of days to forget the writing decreases.

Thus, by operating this system 1 preferably, the following remarkable effects are obtained. That is, according to this system 1, the asthma diary information recorded on the web page of the server computer 3 is made into a database and can be freely browsed online by medical personnel and registered patients themselves. Further, the asthma diary information that the registered patients have consented to the disclosure can be freely browsed online by an ordinary person using the Internet 2.

Therefore, the medical staff, the registered patients, and the general public can effectively use the asthma diary information. As described above, since the asthma diary information is disclosed to the general public, the significance or importance of self-management of asthma to other asthma patients who can use the Internet 2 is wide. I can inform you. In addition, it is expected to form a rich community among asthma patients who can use the Internet 2.

In particular, when the registered patient newly writes the asthma diary information on the web page of the server computer 3, the medical staff browses this asthma diary information along with past asthma diary information online or in real time for evaluation. If necessary, asthma treatment advice can be immediately provided to enrolled patients. Therefore, the registered patient can hear the advice about the treatment from the attending physician while staying at home by simply writing the new asthma diary information without going to the hospital. That is, this system 1 is effectively used as a telemedicine system.

In this way, the registered patient can obtain an objective evaluation of his or her own asthma status at home, just by writing the asthma diary information. Therefore, the registered patient can appropriately grasp the asthma state, and the registered patient is more motivated to perform self-management with chitin without failing to write the asthma diary information.

Further, according to this system 1, since the asthma diary information is recorded as a database on the web page of the server computer 3, when the asthma diary information is entered, the totaling, editing, analysis and the like are carried out in real time. It can be done automatically. For example, on paper, everyday life,
Compared with the conventional asthma diary that describes the symptoms and medication status, scoring is much easier and peak flow values are easier to analyze. Then, the totaling result, the editing result and the analysis result thus created can be immediately grasped and evaluated by the medical staff and the registered patients. Therefore, it is possible to treat the asthma of the registered patient extremely effectively. In addition, by comparing or accumulating the symptom scores and peak flow values of multiple enrolled patients, it is possible to find a common day when asthma control deteriorates, and it is possible to infer changes such as weather conditions where asthma is likely to occur. Also useful for.

In this system 1, when the registered patient neglects to write the asthma diary information on the web page, a message prompting the writing is notified to the registered patient, so that the registered patient neglects to write the asthma diary information. Can be prevented. In addition, when the asthma status of a registered patient deteriorates to a certain degree, the registered patient is notified of the countermeasures for improving it (in some cases, the medical staff is also notified). Can quickly and effectively address the deterioration of asthma conditions.

Further, in this system 1, since the registered patient is notified of the message prompting the asthma coping behavior at the time desired by the registered patient, it is possible to prevent the registered patient from forgetting to forget the asthma coping behavior. It is possible to reliably treat asthma in registered patients. Further, since the URL of the website that provides the registered patient with useful information about asthma is notified to the registered patient, the registered patient can obtain the useful information about asthma very easily. In the system 1, as described above, the design of the screen is changed according to the content of the asthma diary information so as to attract the interest of the registered patient. Therefore, the registered patient neglects to write the asthma diary information. It can be more effectively prevented or reduced.

[0044]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the motivation of an asthma patient to create asthma diary information, to easily create asthma diary information, and to effectively use the asthma diary information. It is possible to provide an online asthma diary system that makes it possible to do.
