[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a test data management method (a medical institution can obtain test information of a patient obtained outside a medical institution easily and securely without leaking the information to a third party through a processing institution). About.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As is well known, as a method for a subject (patient) to check his or her own health condition, various methods such as a medical checkup and an endoscopy are known. For example, if the subject wants to undergo an endoscopy, visit a medical institution such as a hospital or clinic to receive the examination, and then wait a predetermined time on the day of the examination to receive an explanation of the examination result from a doctor or the like. At present, they are receiving explanations or visiting medical institutions again later.
In addition, a radio capsule is provided as a device that can easily inspect a health condition (for example, see Patent Document 1). The radio capsule includes a sensor for detecting and photographing biological information, a transmitter for transmitting the biological information detected by the sensor, a battery for supplying power to the sensor and the transmitter, and a transmitter for transmitting the biological information in a capsule such as a capsule tablet. When the subject swallows, the subject automatically detects biological information in the body of the subject and transmits data to an extracorporeal unit worn by the subject to obtain test information. .
[0003]
When the subject wants to check the health condition using the above-mentioned radio capsule, he visits a medical institution as in the case of endoscopy, swallows the radio capsule given by the doctor, and wears the extracorporeal unit. Thereafter, the user stays inside the medical institution until the biological information is transmitted from the radio capsule to the extracorporeal unit, or returns to the medical institution again when the biological information is transmitted from the radio capsule after going out and returns the extracorporeal unit. Alternatively, a memory which is detachably provided in the extracorporeal unit and stores the biological information is returned. Then, when the test result is obtained from the biological information, the subject needs to visit the medical institution again and receive an explanation of the test result.

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the radio capsule described in Patent Document 1, the subject needs to visit the medical institution many times at the start of the examination, when returning the extracorporeal unit, and at the time of the examination result. Spending a lot of time and trouble. In addition, the radio capsule intermittently and randomly measures and photographs biological information of a subject at regular intervals, and transmits the information to the extracorporeal unit as a large amount of biological information. The medical institution has to collect the extracorporeal unit or memory from the subject, then take out the biometric information and process only the necessary information from a large amount of biometric information. Was difficult. In particular, such radiocapsules are expected to increase in the future because of easy inspection, and it is expected that the burden of the processing work of medical institutions as described above will increase.
Furthermore, the examination information of the subject must be carefully handled from the viewpoint of privacy so that personal information is not leaked to a third party other than the medical institution.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to save only the necessary information from the test information of the subject obtained outside the medical institution, and to reduce the trouble of the subject. It is an object of the present invention to provide a test data management method that can be easily and securely obtained by a medical institution without leaking information to a third party.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following means.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, in a medical institution, a detection target is inserted into a patient's body, and a portable detection device storing a detection target ID of the input detection target is attached to a patient, and It is used in a system that receives and stores test information of the patient emitted from the detected object by the portable detection device outside, and processes the test information obtained after the end of the test in a processing facility outside the medical institution. An inspection data management method, wherein the processing institution mutually exchanges a detected object ID of the detected object inserted into the body of the patient and a medical institution ID of the medical institution into which the detected object is input. The detected object ID and the inspection information are read from the portable detection device obtained from the patient in association with each other, and processed data obtained by performing predetermined processing on the inspection information is generated. , Provides a test data management method for the association with medical institutions the processed data to the detected body ID as a key, and outputs the relative said medical institution in association with the processed data and the detection object ID.
[0008]
In the test data management method according to the present invention, the processing institution reads the test information from the portable detection device obtained from the patient, and then performs a predetermined process to generate the processing data necessary for the diagnosis by the medical institution. Is output to the medical institution. Thereby, the medical institution can easily obtain the processing data necessary for the diagnosis of the patient from the processing institution, and thus can reduce the burden of the conventional work of processing the inspection information.
The processing institution stores the detected object ID and the medical institution ID in association with each other, and obtains the detected object ID and the test information from the patient. This makes it possible to specify the medical institution into which the detected object is input to the patient using the detected object ID as a key, so that the processed data, which is the examination information of the patient, can be reliably sent to the medical institution.
Further, since the examination information of the patient is exchanged between the medical institution, the processing institution and the patient using the detected object ID as a key, there is no possibility that personal information such as the patient's name is leaked to the processing institution. Therefore, the patient's personal information does not leak to a third party other than the medical institution to be examined, and the patient can receive the examination with confidence.
[0009]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the test data management method according to the first aspect, the processing institution associates unprocessed data with the processed data and outputs the unprocessed data to the medical institution. provide.
The inspection data management method according to the present invention outputs unprocessed data to the medical institution in addition to the processed data associated with the detected object ID, so that the medical institution obtains the processed data necessary for patient examination. In addition, other patient information is obtained. As a result, the medical institution can accumulate the patient's test information, so that even if the patient suffers from another disease in the future, the medical institution can quickly respond and accumulate the test information up to that point. The condition can be easily confirmed. Also, the patient can go to a medical institution with confidence.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a test data management method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the test data management method according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, in a hospital (medical institution) 20, a capsule endoscope (detected body) A is inserted into a patient (subject) 30 body, An extracorporeal device (portable detection device) B storing the capsule ID (detected object ID) of the inserted capsule endoscope A is attached to the patient 30, and the patient 30 emitted from the capsule endoscope A outside the hospital 20. This is a management method used in the management system 10 in which the test information C is received and stored by the extracorporeal device B, and the test information C obtained after the end of the test is processed in the processing institution 40 outside the hospital 20.
[0011]
The capsule endoscope A includes a small camera for intermittently and randomly photographing the inside of the patient 30 at regular intervals, a memory for storing the photographed image as examination information C, and an antenna for transmitting the photographed image to the extracorporeal device B. And a battery as a power source. The capsule endoscope A has a unique capsule ID, such as a manufacturing serial number. Further, the capsule endoscope A is housed in a dedicated storage box (not shown), and is set so that the power is automatically turned on when the capsule endoscope A is taken out from the storage box. It is also possible to set so that the power is turned on by irradiating infrared rays with an infrared remote controller or the like after taking out from the storage box, or by bringing a dedicated magnet or the like close thereto.
[0012]
The extracorporeal device B has therein a receiving circuit for receiving information including the capsule ID sent from the capsule endoscope A, a memory for storing the information, and the like. The extracorporeal device B is set so as to take in the capsule ID of the capsule endoscope A and store it in the memory when communicating with the capsule endoscope A for the first time. The information C is set to be fetched as needed and stored in the memory. Thereby, the extracorporeal device B collates the capsule ID, takes in only the examination information C from the capsule ID stored first, and stores it in association with the capsule ID. Further, the extracorporeal device B has, for example, a timer, and measures the time from when the test information C is first received, and notifies the test information to the outside after a predetermined test time.
In addition, the extracorporeal device B has, for example, a configuration including an input unit (not shown), and corresponds to the input capsule ID by inputting a capsule ID described in a storage box or the like of the capsule endoscope A. It is also possible to receive the examination information C only from the capsule endoscope A.
[0013]
Further, according to the test data management method of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the capsule ID of the capsule endoscope A inserted into the body of the patient 30 and the capsule endoscope A are inserted in the processing institution 40. A storage step (S101) for storing the hospital ID of the hospital 20 in association with each other, a reading step (S103) for reading the capsule ID and the examination information C from the extracorporeal device B obtained from the patient 30, and A generation step (S104) of generating processed data D that has undergone a predetermined process, associating the processed data D with the hospital 20 using the capsule ID as a key, and associating the capsule ID with the processed data D and outputting it to the hospital 20; Output step (S105).
[0014]
First, when a patient 30 who wishes to inspect the capsule endoscope A visits the hospital 20, the doctor attaches the extracorporeal device B to the patient A, removes the capsule endoscope A from the collection box, and removes the patient 30 from the patient box. And put it into the body (S100). At this time, the doctor confirms that the capsule ID of the capsule endoscope A has been input to the extracorporeal device B. Next, after putting the capsule endoscope A into the patient 30, the doctor adds, in addition to the used capsule ID (for example, C-1234) and the hospital ID (for example, H-1234), special notes according to the symptoms of the patient 30. Matters, for example, requests for only information about the small intestine, etc., are transmitted to the processing institution 40 which has contracted the capsule use data 50 associated with each other by mail or the like.
[0015]
In the storage step (S101), the processing organization 40 manages the capsule use data 50 sent from the hospital 20, for example, by storing it in a database. At this time, when the processing institution 40 is the same as the delivery organization of the capsule endoscope A, the processing institution 40 sends the capsule endoscope A by comparing it with the capsule ID data obtained when the capsule endoscope A was provided to the hospital 20. It is also possible to confirm that the received capsule use data 50 has been properly sent from the hospital 20 that provided the capsule endoscope A.
[0016]
On the other hand, the patient 30 who has taken the capsule endoscope A at the hospital 20 can leave the hospital 20 and live a normal life. During this normal life, the examination information C is sent from the capsule endoscope A to the extracorporeal device B as needed, and is stored in the memory. At this time, since the extracorporeal device B worn by the patient 30 corresponds to the capsule ID inserted in the body, for example, in a daily life, another patient who has also inserted the capsule endoscope A in the same manner may be used. Even when approaching, the examination information C issued by the capsule endoscopes A does not interfere with each other. After the predetermined examination time has elapsed, the extracorporeal device B notifies the end of the examination, so that the patient 30 removes the extracorporeal device B and sends it to the processing organization 40 by mail or the like (S102).
In addition, when mailing the extracorporeal device B, for example, when the hospital 20 attaches the extracorporeal device B to the patient 30, at the same time, a dedicated box for return to the processing institution 40 is provided, so that the name and the address of the Etc. can be sent confidentially, and the privacy of the patient 30 at the time of return is kept more.
[0017]
In the reading step (S103), the processing institution 40 reads the capsule ID and the examination information C from the extracorporeal device B sent from the patient 30. Next, in a generation step (S104), processing data D obtained by subjecting the read inspection information C to a predetermined process is generated. That is, as described above, the examination information C is a large amount of data obtained by intermittently and randomly photographing the inside of the patient at regular intervals as described above, so that the hospital 20 can use effective data with good imaging conditions that can be used for examinations. In this case, invalid data in a bad shooting state is confused with invalid data. The processing institution 40 generates processed data D by performing processing to extract only data valid for inspection from the confused inspection information C. In particular, when the capsule use data 50 sent from the hospital 20 includes special items such as a request for only the information about the small intestine, the information based on these special items can be provided to the hospital 20. The inspection information C can be further processed.
Further, in addition to the processed data D, for example, unprocessed data may be transmitted at the same time as being identified by a marking.
[0018]
After the generation of the processed data D is completed, in an output step (S105), the processing institution 40 specifies the hospital 20 to which the processed data D is to be sent, based on the hospital ID associated with the capsule ID, and Is associated with the capsule ID and the processed data D and sent by mail or the like. The processed data D does not process the test information C itself transmitted from the patient 30, but instead records and manages the test information C once, and then generates the processed data D. That is, the processing institution 40 can manage the inspection information C and the processed data D in association with the capsule ID.
[0019]
The hospital 20 receives the transmitted capsule ID and the processed data D, and specifies the patient 30 into which the capsule endoscope A has been inserted. Thereby, the doctor can surely and easily obtain the processed data D in which the examination state of the patient 30 obtained outside the hospital 20 is effectively displayed. Thus, the hospital obtains the processing data D necessary for the examination only by putting the capsule endoscope A into the patient 30, so that the conventional processing work is eliminated and the burden on the hospital can be reduced. In addition, since the patient does not need to visit the hospital many times as in the related art, time can be effectively used and the burden can be reduced.
Further, the processed data D is data that is effective for the examination and includes special notes requested by a doctor, for example, data only around the small intestine. Therefore, the condition of the patient 30 is diagnosed as soon as the processed data D is received. Can be performed (S106). Since the capsule ID is managed using the capsule ID as a key from the administration of the capsule endoscope A to the patient 30 at the hospital 20 until the processing data D is obtained, the examination information, which is the personal information of the patient 30, is processed. There is no leakage to a third party such as the institution 40, the privacy of the patient 30 can be maintained, and the patient 30 can be examined with confidence.
[0020]
According to this test data management method, the processing institution 40 reads the test information C obtained from the patient 30 and then processes the test information C to become data necessary for the test of the hospital 20 to generate the processed data D. And sends it to the hospital 20. Thereby, the hospital 20 easily obtains only the processing data D necessary for the diagnosis of the patient 30 from the processing institution 40, so that the conventional processing operation is eliminated and the burden on the hospital on the processing operation can be reduced. In addition, the hospital 20 can concentrate on the diagnosis of the patient 30 and can quickly respond to the patient 30.
Further, since the processing institution 40 stores the capsule ID and the medical institution ID in association with each other, the processing institution 40 can specify the hospital 20 into which the capsule endoscope A has been input to the patient 30 by using the capsule ID as a key, and It can be sent to the hospital 20 without fail.
Further, since the examination information C and the processed data D of the patient 30 are exchanged using the capsule ID as a key, personal information such as the name of the patient 30 is not leaked to a third party other than the hospital 20 to be examined. The patient 30 can receive the test with confidence.
[0021]
In addition, if unprocessed data is simultaneously sent from the processing organization 40 in addition to the processed data D, the hospital 20 can accumulate all kinds of examination information of the patient 30. Therefore, if the patient 30 has another disease in the future, In this case, it is possible to respond promptly and to accumulate the test information so far, so that the progress of the disease can be easily confirmed. Also, the patient 30 can go to the hospital 20 with confidence.
[0022]
Next, a second embodiment of the test data management method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.
The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the first embodiment is a management method in which the processed data D and the capsule ID of the patient 30 are transferred between the hospital 20 and the processing institution 40 by mail or the like. On the other hand, in the test data management method according to the second embodiment, the transfer of test data between the hospital 20 and the processing institution 40 is performed by communication through a network N using a digital dedicated line or the Internet.
[0023]
That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the management system 60, the processing institution 40 includes the management server 41, and the hospital 20 includes the capsule management server 21 in cooperation with the management server 41 via the network N. . The processing institution 40 manages the capsule ID provided to the hospital 20 and the capsule use data 50 transmitted from the hospital 20 by the management server 41. The hospital manages the capsule ID and the processed data D by the capsule management server 21. Note that the capsule management server 21 can also perform a function of an electronic medical record of the patient 30.
[0024]
In the test data management method by the management system 60, the delivery of the capsule use data 50, the processed data D, and the like between the hospital 20 and the processing institution 40 can be performed more reliably and in a shorter time. An earlier diagnosis of the patient 30 can be made. Further, since data is directly transferred between the hospital 20 and the processing institution 40, data loss and the like can be prevented, security can be maintained, and leakage of personal information can be further prevented.
[0025]
Further, the transmission mechanism E is provided in the extracorporeal device B worn by the patient 30, and the receiving mechanism 42 corresponding to the extracorporeal device B is provided in the management server 41 of the processing institution 40, so that between the patient 30 and the treatment institution 40. , Can be realized in a configuration capable of communicating with each other. For example, after confirming that the extracorporeal device B has received the examination information C from the capsule endoscope A inserted in the patient 30, the patient 30 examines the patient 30 together with the capsule ID from the transmission mechanism E via radio waves or the Internet. The information C is transmitted to the processing organization 40. The processing institution 40 receives the examination information C transmitted from the patient 30 by the receiving mechanism 42. As a result, the inspection information C and the processed data D associated with the capsule ID can be transferred between the hospital 20, the processing institution 40, and the patient 30, and the leakage of personal information can be performed more quickly and reliably. Inspection data management.
[0026]
Further, the transfer of the test data between the patient 30 and the processing institution 40 described above may be performed periodically and automatically.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the management system 70 allows the processing institution 40 to access the transmission mechanism E of the extracorporeal device B at any place inside a hospital 20, a station, a convenience store, or outside such as a telephone pole. The wireless communication device 43 that can read the capsule ID and the inspection information C is provided. Further, the wireless communication device 43 is connected to a data collection web server 44 in the management server 41. For example, when the patient 30 approaches a predetermined distance of several tens of meters, the wireless communication device 43 communicates with the transmission mechanism E and performs capsule communication. It has a function of receiving the ID and the inspection information C and transmitting the ID and the inspection information C to the data collection web server 44.
[0027]
The data collection web server 44 stores the capsule ID and the test information C of the patient 30 sent from the wireless communication device 43, and stores data until the transmission is interrupted even if the transmission is interrupted in the middle. Then, when the transmission is started again, it has a function of storing the subsequent data. That is, when the patient 30 enters the operating range of the wireless communication device 43 using the station, the capsule ID and the examination information C are sent to the data collection web server 44 as initial data. Then, when the patient 30 leaves the station, the patient is out of the operating range of the wireless communication device 43 installed in the station, and the data transmission to the data collection web server 44 is cut off. Thereafter, when the patient 30 passes by the telephone pole to return home, the patient 30 enters the operating range of the wireless communication device 43 installed on the telephone pole, and the second data is transmitted to the data collection web server 44 again. . At this time, the data collection web server 44 can store data from the continuation of the initial data. The data collection web server 44 is set to first check the position of the capsule endoscope A and the presence / absence of an error signal of the capsule endoscope A when data is transmitted from the wireless communication device 43. Have been.
[0028]
On the other hand, the transmission mechanism E of the extracorporeal device B is, for example, a transmission mechanism having a wireless LAN function, and transmits the data of the capsule ID and the test information C to the wireless communication device 43 within the range of the wireless communication device 43. Also, like the data collection web server 44, even if the transmission is interrupted in the middle, it has a function of storing data until the interruption and transmitting the subsequent data when transmission is started again. ing.
[0029]
According to the test data management method by the management system 70, the patient 30 who swallows the capsule endoscope A at the hospital 20 automatically returns to the home from the hospital 20 and lives in a normal life, while automatically receiving the test information C inside the body. Is collected by the processing institution 40 as data associated with the capsule ID. That is, when the patient 30 passes through a station, a convenience store, a utility pole, or the like used in daily life, data is collected by the wireless communication device 43 installed in each. During this data transmission, even if the patient 30 goes out of the operating range and the communication is interrupted, the patient 30 enters the operating range of the same wireless communication device 43 again, or operates the wireless communication device 43 installed at another location. When the user enters the range, the continuation of the previously transmitted data is sent, so that the patient 30 can live a normal life without being particularly conscious.
[0030]
Further, the medical institution 40 can obtain the test information C of the patient 30 at any time, instead of obtaining the test information C in a final form, so that, for example, a failure of the extracorporeal device B has occurred or has been lost. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the test information C accumulated in the extracorporeal device B from being wasted.
Further, the data collection web server 44 first checks for the presence or absence of an error signal when data is transmitted from the wireless communication device 43. For example, if an error is detected, the fact is reported together with the capsule ID. The hospital 20 can be notified. As a result, the hospital 20 can notify the patient 30 as soon as possible, can take an early action, and can reduce wasted time due to an error.
Further, the processing institution can grasp the progress of the examination of the patient 30 and can generate the processing data D when the examination information C is collected to some extent, so that the efficiency can be further improved.
It should be noted that not all the data sent from the wireless communication device 43 is sent to the processing institution 40, and of course, after the examination is completed, the examination information C is sent from the patient 30 via the Internet or the like.
[0031]
Note that the technical field of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0032]
For example, in each of the above embodiments, a case where one hospital corresponds to a processing institution has been described. However, the processing institution may correspond to a plurality of medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics. Also in this case, since the examination information of the patient is handled by the capsule ID and the hospital ID, the processed data of the patient can be reliably provided to the medical institution visited by the patient.
In addition, although the capsule ID is stored in the extracorporeal device by the input of the doctor, the method is not limited to this, and any method may be used as long as the capsule ID is stored in the extracorporeal device. For example, a method may be used in which the capsule ID is automatically transmitted from the capsule endoscope to the extracorporeal device when the capsule endoscope is taken out of the storage box and activated.
Further, the case where one capsule endoscope is swallowed is applied. However, a plurality of capsule endoscopes may be swallowed with a time lag, and examination information may be acquired from each capsule endoscope by one extracorporeal device. . In this case, more examination information can be obtained from a plurality of capsule endoscopes, so that the accuracy and accuracy of diagnosis can be improved.
[0033]
Furthermore, as the capsule endoscope, one that intermittently and randomly photographs the inside of the patient at regular intervals is applied, but the invention is not limited to this. It does not matter what you do. In this case, a video signal is sent from the capsule endoscope to the extracorporeal device.
Further, the capsule endoscope is not limited to one that incorporates a small camera and captures an image of the inside of the body, and may be any as long as it can detect in-vivo information of a patient and transmit data to an extracorporeal device. For example, a capsule medical device for a bleeding test incorporating a hemoglobin sensor, or a capsule medical device for an in-vivo information test for intermittently acquiring in-vivo information such as a PH value, a microbial load, and a genetic abnormality for a long period of time and transmitting it to an extracorporeal device Also, the present invention can be applied to an ultrasonic capsule medical device that intermittently acquires an ultrasonic image or the like and transmits the acquired image to an extracorporeal device.
