Description

  The present invention relates to a health data collection device that is used by a health management provider such as a doctor to remotely collect health information of a health management target person such as a patient at home and grasp the health status.

  Conventionally, such a health data collection device has been realized to realize health management when a health care provider and a health care target person exist in remote places by connecting via a communication network (see Patent Document 1). ).

  FIG. 10 shows a health data collection device described in Patent Document 1. This health data collection apparatus is roughly divided into a patient terminal 101 installed on a patient who is a health care subject, and a center provided with a database server 111 as a storage means for storing data collected by the patient terminal 101 A server 103 and a doctor terminal 102 for reference by a doctor who is a data health management provider stored in the center server 103 are provided. The patient terminal 101, the doctor terminal 102, and the center server 103 are connected by a communication network 104. The patient terminal 101 includes a vital sensor 105 as a measurement means for collecting patient biological data such as a thermometer and a blood pressure monitor, a storage means for storing data collected by the vital sensor 105, and an operation means for operation by the patient The communication control device 106 includes a communication unit for transmitting data stored in the storage unit to the center server 103 via the communication network 104. The center server 103 includes an application server 110 in addition to the database server 111. Furthermore, the doctor terminal 102 includes a communication unit 108 that communicates with the center server 103 and an output unit that performs display for the doctor to refer to the data.

  FIG. 11 shows an external view of an example of the patient terminal 101. The patient terminal 101 includes a liquid crystal display 118 for displaying on a patient, and a touch panel 115 as an operation unit for operation by a patient disposed on the front surface of the liquid crystal display 118, and is a measuring unit. A thermometer 113 which is an example of the vital sensor 105 is connected.

  FIG. 12 shows an image diagram of the operation menu displayed on the liquid crystal display 118 of the patient terminal 101. The patient terminal 101 can use various functions in addition to the measurement of collecting biological information using the vital sensor 105 such as the thermometer 113 described above. Among them, there is an inquiry function as a function useful for health management after collecting biological information. When the screen on which the inquiry key 109 is displayed in the main menu shown in FIG. 12 is touched, the operation is accepted by the touch panel 115 and the inquiry function operates. FIG. 13 shows an example of a screen when the inquiry function is operating. A question 150 preset by a doctor is displayed, and answer options 151 to 153 are displayed. If the patient touches any of the answer options 151 to 153 with respect to the question 150 on the screen, for example, the option 152 with the content “2. I could not sleep so much”, the answer is accepted by the patient terminal 101. The accepted answer is transmitted via the communication network 104 by the communication control device 108 of the patient terminal 101 and stored in the database server 111 in the center server 103.

  The doctor can grasp the patient's condition by drawing out and browsing the inquiry data stored in the database server 111 via the communication network 104 by the doctor terminal 102. FIG. 14 shows a screen in a state where an inquiry answer is displayed on the doctor terminal 2 side. The question number 154 of the inquiry is displayed in the left column, and the content 155 answered by the patient is displayed in the right column. Looking at this screen, for example, the doctor knows that the answer to question “Q1” was “2”, and that the patient is not sleeping well. As described above, the conventional health data collection device can provide an environment in which the doctor can grasp the health condition of the patient using the inquiry function even when there is a physical distance between the doctor and the patient, and the health management can be performed even in a remote place. it can.

  However, since the conventional health data collection device uses character information as data used for questions, there are the following problems.

  In the inquiry function, the doctor prepares a preset question 150 as shown in FIG. The question 150 uses character information. In many cases, since the reading becomes complicated when the number of characters displayed on the screen becomes very large, the question 150 is described as simple as possible. In addition, the health care target person is often an elderly person, and since the characters displayed on the screen must be enlarged, the sentence must be further shortened. However, since elderly people are not used to communication using only text information such as e-mail, the doctor's intent to ask questions is sufficient for simple questions with only missing text information such as facial expressions and voice tone. There is a possibility that the misunderstanding of the question content will occur, and the credibility of the answer will be affected as a result.

  In addition, when the doctor wants to point to a part of the body and check the state of the part, the text information expresses, for example, “Is there a lump about 5 cm from the heel inside the base of the arm?” However, if the patient has never touched such a part in the past, it is quite difficult to specify the part, and a situation such as confirming the state of a different part and replying can occur. . In order to avoid such a situation, doctors only ask simple questions that are easy to understand and easy to answer.

  Furthermore, since only the character information does not convey the doctor's facial expression, the tone of the voice, etc., answering the interview is a dry action and the patient's willingness to answer tends to decline.

JP 2002-83066 A (FIG. 1)

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention makes it easier to manage health at a remote location by enabling detailed information transmission from the health care provider side while maintaining a user interface that is easy to handle even for elderly people, It is another object of the present invention to provide a health data collection device that can facilitate communication between a patient and a doctor and improve the quality of health management.

  In order to solve the above problems, the health data collection device of the present invention includes a question setting means for a health care provider to set question data for an inquiry, and at least one of voice data and image data for the question data. A data adding means for adding the data, a provider side transmitting means for transmitting the question data to which the audio data or image data is added, and the question data transmitted from the provider side transmitting means The target person receiving means for receiving the information, the question notifying means for notifying the health care target person of the question data received by the target person side receiving means, and the health management target person setting the answer data for the notified question An answer setting means, a subject side transmitting means for sending the answer data, and a provision for receiving the answer data from the subject side sending means on the health care provider side It comprises a side receiving unit, and a reply informing means for informing the reply data received by the provider side receiving means for health care providers.

  As a result, information by voice or image can be added to the question data set by the health care provider, so that the amount of information from the health care provider side can be increased and more detailed questioning questions can be set. Health care recipients can better understand the intent of the health care provider's question based on the question data that has been added with voice or image data, and can provide accurate answers to the question. Answer mistakes due to misunderstandings of questions for health care subjects are greatly reduced. Moreover, since the question data which is character information can be made into a concise content, the health management subject unaccustomed to the communication by characters, such as elderly people, is not forced to read a long sentence. In addition, the health care provider can make a diagnosis based on a question answer that is better understood and accurate. Therefore, it is possible to improve the quality of health management at a remote place while maintaining a simple user interface on the side of the health management subject.

  The health data collection device further includes voice data input means for inputting voice of the health care provider and converting the inputted voice into voice data, and the data adding means is the voice inputted by the health care provider. The voice data generated by the voice data input means is added to the question data. Since the health care provider can input voice directly and add it to the question data, information can be added by voice according to the intention of the health care provider, and the intention of the health care provider can be improved. Since it can be clearly communicated, the answer to the interview can be made more reliable.

  The health data collection device further includes image data input means for inputting a real image by a health care provider and converting the inputted real image into image data, and the data adding means is inputted by the health care provider. The image data generated by the image data input means from the actual image is added to the question data. The health care provider can directly input an image and add it to the question data. Therefore, the health care provider can add information based on the image according to the intention of the health care provider. Since it can be clearly communicated, the answer to the interview can be made more reliable.

  The health data collection device includes storage means for storing a plurality of the sound data or image data in advance, and the data adding means is selected by the input means from the sound data or image data stored in the storage means Is added to the setting data. The health care provider can determine what the health care provider needs from a plurality of audio data or image data prepared in advance and add it to the question. Even in this case, voice data or image data having a predetermined pattern is prepared in advance, and by selectively using it, voice data or image data can be efficiently added to the question. The burden on the management provider can be reduced.

  If the image data added to the question data by the data adding means is moving image data, the health management provider's gestures and facial movements can be transmitted in an easy-to-understand manner. It can be communicated to the management target person and a reliable interview can be conducted.

  The health data collection device may further include subject-side data adding means for adding at least one of audio data and image data to the answer data set by the answer setting means. Since voice data or image data can be added to the responses of health care subjects, the amount of information for responses from health care subjects can be increased, and more detailed situations can be communicated from health care subjects. Even if the health care target person is in a remote location with the health care provider, it is possible to perform an extensive inquiry.

  According to the health data collection device of the present invention, by adding information by voice or image to the inquiry data of the inquiry function of the health data collection device, much more than the inquiry data by characters conventionally used. Since questions or answers can be made with the amount of information, the health care provider can convey the intention of the question more accurately, or it can ask questions that are difficult to ask with text information alone. On the side, it is easy to understand content that is difficult to understand with only letters, so there is less stress and the interrogation function can be used smoothly. Furthermore, since information such as doctor's and nurse's facial expressions and tone of voice that cannot be transmitted only by text information is transmitted at the same time, the patient can feel secure and mental stability can be given. In this way, the quality of remote health management can be greatly improved, such as communication between the doctor side and the patient side can be performed smoothly, and the trust relationship can be made closer.

  In the health data collection device of this embodiment, the patient terminal 1 and the doctor terminal 2 are provided with data adding means 25 and 41 so that voice data and image data can be added to the question data of the interview and the answer data to the interview. It is very different from conventional health collection data devices.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the health data collection apparatus of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 to 5 and the examples of the screens of FIGS. 6 to 9.

  FIG. 2 shows processing executed by the doctor terminal 2. FIG. 6 shows an example of an initial screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 33 of the doctor terminal 1. This initial screen includes three options, that is, question setting 51A, browsing 51B, and end 51C, and any of these options can be selected by operating the keyboard 30. When the question 51A is selected in step S2-1 in FIG. 2, the question setting process in step S2-2 is executed. When browsing 51B is selected in step S2-3, the answer browsing process in step S2-4 is executed. Until the end is selected in step S2-5, the processes in steps S2-1 to S2-4 are repeated.

  FIG. 3 shows details of the question setting process (step S2-2 in FIG. 2), and also shows the process of the related center server 3. First, in step S3-1, an inquiry setting edit screen for setting an inquiry question is displayed. FIG. 7 shows an example of the question setting editing screen, which includes a menu 60 (including selection items 61A to 61E) related to input items, a question display column 62, and a display area 64 for answer options 63A to 63C. When the question input 61A is selected from the menu 60 with the keyboard 30 in step S3-2, the character information can be input with the keyboard 30 into the question display field 62 in step S3-3. In this example, the question display field 62 is entered as “Do you feel pain when you turn your arm?”.

  In the example of FIG. 7, “1. No pain”, “2. Slightly pain”, and “3. Very painful” are set as the answer options 63A to 63C. When answer option edit 61E is selected in step S3-3 in FIG. 3, edits such as change, deletion, and addition of these answer options 63A to 63C can be executed by operating the keyboard 30. Question data is generated by the question setting means 35 inside the doctor terminal 2 by the processing of steps S3-2 to S3-4.

  Subsequently, when the moving image input 61D is selected from the menu 60 in step S3-5, the moving image can be input together with the sound in step S3-6. For example, while the doctor directed to the microphone 31, "Hello, you start the ○○'s. Interview. First of all, I would like to see the right hand of the state. When stretched out arm turn so as to draw a large circle, not feel the pain Please tell me the degree of pain. ”While speaking in a tone that speaks,“ I will turn my arm to show a model in front of the CCD camera 32 ”. At this time, the sound is input from the microphone 31 to the sound input circuit 36 and converted to sound data, and the moving image is input from the CCD camera 32 to the image input circuit 37 and converted to moving image data. The audio data and moving image data are temporarily stored in the hard disk 40 as storage means. When the still image input 61B is selected from the menu 60 in step S3-7, the still image can be input in step S3-8, and the still image captured by the CCD camera 32 is converted into still image data by the image input circuit 37. Stored in the hard disk 40. Further, when the voice input 61C is selected from the menu 60 in step S3-9, voice data can be input in step S3-10, and the voice is input from the microphone 31 to the voice input circuit 36 and converted to voice data. 40. In step S3-11, steps S3-2 to S3-10 are repeated until the end 61F is selected from the menu 60.

  The hard disk 40 stores image data (moving image data and still image data) and audio data as described above. Hereinafter, these data are collectively referred to as auxiliary data as necessary.

  When the corresponding auxiliary data is selected in step S3-12, the selected auxiliary data is added to the question data generated by the question setting means 35 by the data adding means 41 in the CPU 45 in step S3-13. The auxiliary data to be added to the question data may be moving image data, still image data, or audio data input at the time of setting the question, but a plurality of data already input before setting the question and stored in the hard disk 40. You may select from audio data or image data. A plurality of voice data and image data having a predetermined pattern are stored in the hard disk 40 in advance, and doctors determine what is necessary and add it to the question data, thereby having many patients. Even in this case, auxiliary data can be efficiently added to the question data, and the burden on the doctor can be reduced.

  In the above example, question data is a character data, "Do not feel pain when turning the arm", "Hello as voice data to the character data, will start ○○'s. Interview. First of all, the right hand of the state If you stretch your arms and draw a large circle, do you feel pain? Please tell us how much pain you have, "and a doctor will give you an example. The moving image data that turns the arm is added.

  When an instruction data transmission command is input to the doctor terminal 2 in step S3-15, the question data and auxiliary data added thereto are sent to the center server 3 via the communication network 4 by the ADSL modem 44 in step S3-16. Sent to. In step S3-17, the center server 3 receives the question data and auxiliary data transmitted from the doctor terminal 2 by the communication control means 10. In step S3-18, the database server 3 stores the received question data and auxiliary data in the database server 11.

  Next, the process performed by the patient terminal 1 is demonstrated with reference to FIG. When a reception command is input by the touch panel 15 in step S4-1, the patient terminal 1 sends the question data to the center server 3 via the communication network 4 by the ADSL modem 28 and auxiliary data added thereto in step S4-2. Send a send request. In step S4-3, the center server 3 receives the transmission request by the communication control means 10. In step S4-4, the center server 3 transmits the question data stored in the database server 11 and auxiliary data added thereto to the patient terminal 1 via the communication network 4 by the communication control means 10. In step S4-5, the patient terminal 1 receives the question data and auxiliary data from the center server 3 via the communication network by the subject side receiving means 27. In step S4-6, the patient terminal 1 displays the character data of the question data and the image data included in the auxiliary data on the answer creation screen of the liquid crystal display 18 by the image output circuit 23. The audio data included in the auxiliary data is output from the speaker 19 via the audio output circuit 24. FIG. 8 shows an example of an answer creation screen, which includes question text information 65, answer options 66 </ b> A to 66 </ b> C, and a doctor's moving image 67. It is the message of the doctor from the display at the same time as the speaker 19 of the reply creation screen "Hello, you start the ○○'s. Interview. First of all, I would like to see the right hand of the state. So as to draw a large circle stretched out arm Do you feel pain when you turn it? Please tell me the degree of pain. " After confirming the contents, the patient can confirm the physical condition of the doctor by performing the same operation as the moving image 67 of the doctor, and answer the question.

  In step S4-7, when any of the answer options 66A to 66C is selected by operating the touch panel 15, the options 66A to 66C selected in step S4-8 are input to the patient terminal 1, and the answer setting means 20 Create response data for the interview. For example, when the option 66C “pretty painful” in FIG. 8 is selected, the corresponding answer data is generated. At this time, if moving image input is selected in step S4-9, the moving image can be input in the same manner as in the case of the doctor terminal 2 in step S4-10. For example, the patient goes to the CCD camera 17 and the microphone 16 and performs an operation of pointing specifically to the part while speaking, “This part hurts like numbness, but is much easier than the other day”. The sound from the microphone 16 is input through the sound input circuit 21, and the image from the CCD camera 17 is input from the image input circuit 22 as a moving image. If still image input is selected in step S4-11, a still image can be input by the CCD camera 17 and the image input circuit 22 in step S4-12. If voice input is selected in step S4-13, voice can be input by the microphone 16 and the voice input circuit 21 in step S4-14. Until the end is selected in step S4-15, the processes in steps S4-7 to S4-14 are repeated. Moving image input selection (step S4-9), still image input selection (step S4-11), audio input selection (step S4-13), and end selection (step S4-15) are displayed on the liquid crystal display 18, for example. The selected icon on the screen can be selected by using the touch panel 15.

  Subsequently, in step S4-16, the data adding means 25 adds the input voice data and image data to the answer data generated by the answer setting means 20. When a transmission command is input by operating the touch panel 15 or the like in step S4-17, the patient terminal 2 transmits the answer data and auxiliary data added thereto to the center server 3 via the communication network 4 by the ADSL modem 28. In step S4-19, the center server 3 receives the answer data and auxiliary data from the patient terminal 1 by the communication control means 10. In step S4-20, the center server 3 stores the received answer data and auxiliary data in the database server 11.

  FIG. 5 shows details of the answer browsing process (step S2-4 in FIG. 2) executed by the doctor terminal 2. When a reception command is input to the doctor terminal 2 using the keyboard 30 or the like in step S5-1, the doctor terminal 2 transmits a response data and a request for transmitting auxiliary data added thereto to the communication network via the ADSL modem 44 in step S5-2. 4 to the center server 3. The center server 3 that has received the transmission request by the communication control means 10 in step S5-3 adds the answer data (including question data corresponding to the answer data) stored in the database server 11 in step S5-4. The auxiliary data being transmitted is transmitted to the doctor terminal 2 via the communication network 4 by the communication control means 10. In step S <b> 5-5, the doctor terminal 2 receives the response data and the auxiliary data from the center server 3 through the communication network 4 by the provider side receiving unit 43. In step S5-6, the doctor terminal 2 displays the character data of the answer data and the image data included in the auxiliary data on the answer browsing screen of the liquid crystal display 33 by the image output circuit 33. The audio data included in the auxiliary data is output from the speaker 34 via the audio output circuit 39.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of an answer browsing screen, which includes character information 75 for questions and character information 76 for answers thereto, and further includes a patient moving image 66. On the response viewing screen, the response data is displayed as text data 75 “very painful” and a video 76 pointing to where the patient hurts when turning his arm, and at the same time, “This part hurts like numbness, The patient's voice is output from the speaker 34, which is much easier than the other day. The doctor can determine the patient's condition with reference to not only the character information 75 of the answer but also the moving image and the sound.

  Since the health data collection device of the present embodiment adds voice data and image data as auxiliary data to the inquiry data for the inquiry, the amount of information for the inquiry is greatly increased. Patients can understand questions accurately based on abundant information and provide reliable answers. Moreover, since the question data which is character information can be made into a concise content, the patient unaccustomed to the communication by characters, such as elderly people, is not forced to read a long sentence. On the other hand, when the patient gives a reliable answer, the doctor can accurately obtain information on the patient's condition that the patient really wants to obtain, and can make a more appropriate decision.

  When the above-mentioned example is conducted using the conventional interrogation function, the answer “Is it not painful when I turn my arm” returns only the answer “I am very painful”. Even if the patient turns his arm while bending it, he may not know it and turn it small. However, according to the present embodiment, the doctor teaches how to turn the arm by means of an image with gestures, so the patient can just imitate while looking at it and turn his arm as the doctor thinks. In addition, there is an increase in the information that “It hurts like numbness” and the information “It is much easier than the other day”. If it is only “very painful”, it seems necessary to treat the pain, but since there is a sign of recovery, it is possible to make a judgment such as looking a little more. In addition, a voice that speaks while showing the doctor turning his arm with gestures is heard, so the patient gets a sense of security by approaching the actual consultation state more than the interview with only text information. Can do. In this way, the amount of information for interviews increases dramatically, enabling smooth communication between doctors and patients, and improving the quality of remote health management, such as closer relationships of trust. Can be made.

  In this embodiment, the doctor terminal and the patient terminal exchange data via a server installed on the network. However, if the doctor terminal and the patient terminal can exchange data, the doctor terminal and the patient terminal do not go through the server. The peer-to-peer system for exchanging data may be used. In some cases, the present invention can be realized even in a configuration in which data can be directly transmitted and received without going through a network.

  In addition, it is possible to set only the question number and options in the question data, and use the voice data or the image data itself as a question without entering the question message in characters. There is always a question message in characters. It is not essential to do. This also applies to the answer data, and the option data is not necessarily required, and the patient's voice and image data can be used as the answer.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the voice of a doctor or patient is used as the voice data, but the type of the voice data is not particularly limited. For example, the voice data may be an auscultation sound or a sound indicating the operating state of various medical devices. Good. Further, the question data from the doctor is not limited to the real voice, and may be a voice uttered by voice synthesis. Furthermore, music for relaxing the patient may be added.
