Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is configured by connecting a doctor's terminal device, a patient's terminal device via a communication network, a doctor who browses the patient's biological information on the doctor's terminal device, creates an advice message for the patient, The present invention relates to a system for browsing the advice message on a patient terminal device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, doctors have made decisions based on biological information of a patient, such as body temperature, blood pressure, and blood sugar, and have performed medical treatment such as medication for the patient and encouraged improvement of life. In recent years, an increase in the number of patients with lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity has become a problem, and these lifestyle-related diseases can be improved by improving daily lifestyle in many cases in the initial stage.
[0003]
Conventionally, medical treatment has been performed by a doctor directly facing a patient, but a system for treating a patient at a remote place via a communication line due to the development of communication technology has been put into practical use. That is, the patient measures his / her biological information at home and transmits the measurement result to the doctor via a communication line using a personal computer or the like, while the doctor browses the transmitted biological information of the patient and reads the patient's biological information. Is created and transmitted to the patient by e-mail or the like, and the patient browses the advice message transmitted from the doctor and follows the instruction to improve the lifestyle.
[0004]
In particular, for lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, the above-mentioned communication is used for cases in which it is important to improve lifestyle appropriately under the guidance of a doctor rather than performing a treatment such as medication. A remote medical care system using a line is efficient and effective.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in these prior art systems, the physician must create an advice message for each individual patient, which places a heavy burden on the physician. In a patient education system of an example, a doctor inputs to an instruction input window using word processing software or the like.
[0006]
Although a remote medical care system can increase the efficiency of patients because they can receive medical care even at home without going to a hospital or the like, doctors can view patient biometric information and input advice messages to patients using word processing software or the like. Was not going to increase efficiency. Rather, it is less efficient than giving face-to-face advice to the patient. As a result, advice is created only when there is a danger that the biological information exceeds the alert level, and patients who do not exceed the alert level may not receive any advice, making it difficult to provide daily life guidance Met.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a health management support system that is effective for both patients and doctors by using a communication network, and is effective.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0036]
In step S41 of FIG. 5, the patient first inputs a patient code and password using the patient terminal device 2, and the patient terminal device 2 enters the patient code and password entered in step S42 with the authentication data registered in advance. It is determined whether or not the authentication has been completed, that is, whether or not the authentication is OK. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S43. In step S43, a message request signal is transmitted to the database server device 3. On the other hand, upon receiving the message request signal in step S44, the database server device 3 transmits to the patient terminal device 2 a message for the relevant patient among the messages stored in the message storage means 19 in step S45. The patient terminal device 2 receives the message from the database server device 3 in step S46, and displays a patient terminal processing screen as shown in FIG. 8, for example, in step S47.
[0037]
Further, it is determined whether or not the patient terminal device 2 has selected the input of biometric information in step S48, and if YES, the patient inputs biometric information in step S49. The input of the biometric information is performed on a separate screen (not shown). If the biometric information can be communicated, the measurement result is automatically received by the patient terminal device 2; otherwise, the input means such as a mouse or a keyboard is used. Enter using. Then, the measured biological information is transmitted to the database server device 3 in step S50. On the other hand, the database server device 3 receives the biological information in step S51, and stores the received biological information in the biological information storage unit 18 in step S52. The patient terminal device 2 determines whether or not the processing end is selected in step S53. If YES, the processing ends. If NO, the procedure jumps to step S48 to repeat the processing.
