  The operation of the health management support system configured as described above will be described.

  First, the basic operation of the subject side terminal 9 and the operation of the server device 1 related thereto will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B.

  First, a subject authentication process using a password or the like is executed (step S8-1). Next, the communication unit 9B transmits a transmission request to the server device 1 via the Internet 2 (step S8-2). The communication unit 1A of the server device 1 receives this transmission request (step S8-3). Subsequently, the inquiry information and advice information stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 are taken out and transmitted to the subject terminal 9 via the Internet 2 by the communication unit 1A (step S8-4). Further, the communication unit 9B of the subject side terminal 9 receives the inquiry information and the health advice information (step S8-5). The received inquiry information and health advice information are stored in the storage unit 9C of the subject side terminal 9 (step S8-6).

  Next, when “view health advice information” is selected by operating the operation unit 9G from the screen including the GUI displayed on the display unit 9F of the subject terminal 9 (step S8-7), the health advice information browsing process is performed. Can be executed (step S8-8). In this health advice information browsing process, the subject can operate the operation unit 9G to display advice information for the self created by a doctor or the like on the display unit 9F. As will be described in detail later, this advice information is created not only for normal biological information such as blood pressure and weight, but also for the amount of activity of the subject. Very useful advice on the condition.

  Further, when “acquire biometric information” is selected (step S8-9), the biometric information acquisition process becomes effective (step S8-10). Referring to FIG. 9, in this biological information acquisition process, an activity amount is first acquired from the activity meter 3 (step S9-1). Specifically, the activity amount of the subject for each predetermined period stored in the storage unit 3B of the activity meter 3 is transmitted from the communication unit 3C of the activity meter 3, and the subject side terminal 9 It is received by the sensor communication unit 9A. Next, time information is given to the activity amount measured by the activity meter 3 (step S9-2). Specifically, the time information adding unit 9D of the subject terminal 9 refers to the time measured by the time measuring unit 9E, and the activity amount received from the activity meter 3 is measured. Give the time. Subsequently, the activity amount is stored in the storage unit 9C of the subject side terminal 9 (step S9-3). Next, biological information other than the activity amount is acquired from the non-activity meter 8 (blood pressure monitor 4, weight scale 5, etc.) (step S9-4). Specifically, the biological information is measured by the sphygmomanometer 4 and the weight scale 5, and the measured biological information is once stored in the storage unit 8B and then transmitted by the communication unit 8C. The biological information transmitted from the sphygmomanometer 4 and the weight scale 5 is received by the sensor communication unit 9A of the subject side terminal 9. Next, time information is given to the biological information measured by the inactivity meter 8 (step S9-5). Specifically, the time information providing unit 9D of the subject side terminal 9 refers to the time measured by the time measuring unit 9E, and performs biometric information received from the activity meter 3 and the non-activity meter 8 Give the time it was measured. Subsequently, biological information other than the amount of activity is stored in the storage unit 9C of the subject side terminal 9 (step S9-4). By adding time information to the activity amount and other biological information in this way, when the doctor browses the biological information at the doctor terminal 6 as described later, the activity amount of the time unit and other biological information Time-related relations can be grasped, and more detailed judgments can be made.

  The activity amount and other biological information stored in the storage unit 9C of the subject side terminal 9 can be displayed on the display unit 9F of the subject side terminal 9C by performing a predetermined operation on the operation unit 9G. it can. As a result, even if the sensor has a different operation method or the like, the biological information can be easily confirmed by the unified unified operation procedure in the subject side terminal 9, and many of this type of subject side terminal 9 can be confirmed. It is very convenient for elderly people who are subjects. In addition, the subject himself / herself can immediately confirm the relationship between his / her activity amount and other biological information at the subject terminal 9 at hand.

  When “question answer” is selected (step S8-11 in FIG. 8B), an inquiry answer input process is enabled (step S8-12). Specifically, the contents of the inquiry received from the server device 1 are displayed on the display unit 9F, and the subject can input the answer to the inquiry to the subject side terminal 9 by operating the operation unit 9G. The inputted inquiry answer is stored in the storage unit 9C after time information (answer time) is given by the time information giving unit 9D. Since the subject side terminal 9 is equipped with this inquiry answering function, doctors can utilize information including not only the biological information by the subject's sensor but also the inquiry information. It is possible to grasp more accurately and to enable effective treatment and guidance.

  Next, when “transmission” of the biometric information and the inquiry information is selected (step S8-13), the biometric information and the inquiry answer information are taken out from the storage unit 9 of the subject terminal 9 (step S8-14), and the communication is performed. The data is transmitted to the server device 1 via the Internet 2 by the unit 9B. When only one of the biometric information acquisition (step S8-10) and the inquiry answer input (step S8-12) is executed, only one of the biometric information and the inquiry answer information is transmitted. The In addition, information (for example, identification information using a flag) for distinguishing from the transmission of biometric information and inquiry response information is added to the transmitted biometric information and inquiry response information by periodic transmission processing described later. The transmitted biological information and inquiry response information are received by the communication unit 1A of the server device 1 (step S8-15). Subsequently, the biological information and the inquiry information are stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 (step S8-16).

  When “end” is selected, the process in the subject-side terminal 9 ends (step S8-17).

  In addition to the above operations, the subject-side terminal 9 executes a periodic transmission process shown in FIG. Specifically, if a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the previous or most recent transmission of the biometric information or inquiry response information from the subject terminal 9 to the server device 1 (step S10-1), The latest biometric information and inquiry answer information stored in the storage unit 9 of the subject side terminal 9 is taken out and transmitted to the server device 1 via the Internet 2 by the communication unit 9B (step S10-). 2). The latest transmission of the biometric information and the inquiry response information is automatically executed even when the subject does not input a transmission command by the operation unit 9G. In addition, the biometric information and the inquiry response information transmitted by the automatic transmission (step S10-2) are distinguished from the transmission of the biometric information and the like when the above-described subject inputs a transmission command by the operation unit 9G. (For example, identification information using a flag) is added. The biological information and the inquiry information transmitted by the subject side terminal 9 are received by the communication unit 1A of the server device 1 (step S10-3). The received biological information and inquiry information are stored in the storage unit 1D (step S10-4). Since the subject side terminal 9 executes this periodic automatic transmission, it is possible to prevent forgetting to transmit the biometric information collected by the sensor 7 or the inputted inquiry answer to the server device 1. It is possible to avoid lack of data for treatment and guidance due to lack of interview answers. In other words, the information can be recorded on the server device 1 periodically.

  Next, the operation of the server device 1 will be described. The server device 1 performs normal information exchange with the subject side terminal 9 described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B and normal information exchange with the doctor terminal 6 to be described later. And the communication frequency determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the activity amount determination process will be described with reference to FIG. The activity amount determination unit 1E extracts and compares the activity amount index value 33 corresponding to the activity amount 31a stored in the storage unit 1D (step S11-1). The activity amount index value 33 is an index value indicating whether or not the activity amount of the subject is sufficient according to the doctor's instruction. For example, when the activity amount 31a is the number of steps in a certain period, the activity amount index value 33 is the number of steps required for the subject to walk within that period. When the activity amount 33 is less than the activity amount 31a, that is, when it is determined that the subject's activity amount is not sufficient, the activity amount determination unit 1E uses the communication units 1A and 1B to connect the subject side terminal 9 and the doctor terminal. 6 transmits information (activity deficiency notification) indicating contents indicating that the subject has insufficient activity (step S11-2). The subject side terminal 9 and the doctor terminal 9 receive the activity amount shortage notification and display it on the display units 9F and 6C (steps S11-3 and S11-4). Thereby, the doctor can accurately grasp whether or not the instruction of the activity amount and the actual activity amount of the subject match in the daily life of the subject. Therefore, it is very effective in the treatment and guidance of diseases that are closely related to the amount of activity in daily life, such as lifestyle-related diseases. In addition, since the subject and doctor can be informed of the lack of activity amount accurately and the subject and doctor can be prevented from overlooking the lack of activity amount, very effective treatment and guidance can be achieved. Note that the timing for executing the activity amount determination process of FIG. 11 is not limited to specific, and may be executed when, for example, biological information is transmitted from the subject-side terminal 9 to the server device 1 or for a certain period of time. It may be executed every time.

  Next, the communication frequency determination process will be described with reference to FIG. First, the communication frequency determination unit 1F extracts and compares the communication frequency index value 34 corresponding to the biological information 31 and the inquiry response information 33 stored in the storage unit 1D (step S12-1). The communication frequency index value 34 is an index value related to a time interval at which the subject inputs a transmission command using the operation unit 9G and transmits biometric information and inquiry response information from the subject terminal 9 to the server device 1. Specifically, the communication frequency index value 34 indicates that the server apparatus 1 receives the biological information or the inquiry answer information from the subject side terminal 9 when the subject inputs an operation command last time or most recently. When the elapsed time from is more than that, it is determined that there is a possibility that some abnormality has occurred in the subject of the subject-side terminal 9. As described above, time information is added to the biological information and the inquiry response information stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1. In addition, the biometric information and transmission information stored in the storage unit 1D is added with information for identifying whether the information is transmitted by the operation of the subject or the periodic transmission process (FIG. 10). Has been. Accordingly, the communication frequency determination unit 1F can confirm the time of transmission of the latest biological information or inquiry response information from the subject terminal 9 to the server device 1 by the subject's transmission operation. When the elapsed time from the reception of the previous biometric information or inquiry answer information (by the subject inputting a transmission command with the operation unit 9G) is equal to or greater than the communication frequency index value 34, the communication frequency determination unit 1F is a communication unit Contents indicating that the server device 1 has not received information from the subject-side terminal 9 over a long period of time with respect to the subject-side terminal 9, the doctor terminal 1, and the external device 11 by 1A, 1B, 1C (Information not received notification) is transmitted (step S12-1). The subject side terminal 9, the doctor terminal 6, and the external device 11 receive the information non-arrival notification and display it on the display means (steps S12-3, S12-4). Thus, the abnormality of the subject can be determined by the presence or absence of transmission of the biological information and the inquiry response information to the server device 1 by the subject himself / herself operating the subject side terminal 9, and even when the abnormality occurs An early response is possible. Specifically, in the unlikely event that an abnormality such as an elderly person living alone loses consciousness, it becomes impossible to measure biometric information or answer an interview, and these abnormalities are detected and covered. By notifying the examiner side terminal 9 and the doctor terminal 6, an early response to the abnormality becomes possible.

  Next, the operation of the doctor terminal 6 and the operation of the server device 1 related thereto will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, an authentication process for a doctor or the like using a password or the like is executed (step S13-1). When “browsing biometric information / inquiry answer information” is selected by operating the operation unit 6D from the screen including the GUI displayed on the display unit 6C of the doctor terminal 6 (step S13-2), the communication unit 1A operates the server device. A transmission request is transmitted to 1 (step S13-3). The communication unit 1B of the server device 1 receives this transmission request (step S13-4). Subsequently, the biometric information and the inquiry information including the activity amount stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 are extracted and transmitted to the doctor terminal 6 by the communication unit 1B (step S13-5). The communication unit 6A of the doctor terminal 6 receives the biological information and the inquiry answer information (step S13-6). The received biological information and inquiry response information are stored in the storage unit 6B of the doctor terminal 6.

  Subsequently, it is possible to display the biometric information and the inquiry answer information (step S13-7). More specifically, the operation unit 6D can be used to display biological information and inquiry information including the amount of activity on the display unit 6C, and doctors and the like can browse the biological information and inquiry information displayed on the display unit 6C. The health status of the subject can be determined. Doctors and the like can grasp biological information such as blood pressure, body temperature, blood sugar, and body weight of the subject in association with the amount of activity, and can perform very detailed treatment and guidance. In addition, since time information is added to both the amount of activity and other biological information, more detailed treatment and guidance are possible. For example, if the measured value is measured by the subject other than at rest, even though the doctor instructs the measurement at rest, the doctor can distinguish it and make a wrong diagnosis. The possibility can be excluded. In addition to the biological information, the inquiry response information can be used for grasping the health condition of the subject, so that the doctor can grasp the health condition of the subject more accurately.

  When “health advice processing” is selected (step S13-8), health advice information can be created (step S13-9). Since the doctor can make an appropriate determination based on the amount of activity, other biological information, and inquiry response information as described above, useful advice information can be created based on this determination. The created advice information is transmitted to the server device 1 by the communication unit 6A (step S13-10). The server device 1 receives the health advice information and stores it in the storage unit 1D (steps S13-11 and S13-12).

  Details of the activity amount index value setting process (step S13-13) are shown in FIG. First, if “activity amount index value setting process” is selected (step S14-1) and the activity amount index value 34 is already stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 (step S14-2), the doctor terminal 6 communication unit 6A transmits a transmission request to server device 1 (step S14-3). The communication unit 1B of the server device 1 receives this transmission request (step S14-4). Subsequently, the corresponding activity amount index value 33 is extracted from the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 and transmitted to the doctor terminal 6 by the communication unit 1B (step S14-5). Along with the activity amount index value 33, the setting of whether to execute the activity amount determination process (FIG. 11) itself and the transmission destination of the activity amount insufficient notification (step S11-4 in FIG. 11) are also transmitted to the doctor terminal 6. When the communication unit 6A of the doctor terminal 6 receives the activity amount index value, the setting of whether or not to execute the activity amount determination process, and the transmission destination of the activity amount insufficient notification (step S14-6), these can be edited. (Step S14-7). The doctor can freely edit these settings on the doctor terminal 6. The edited activity amount index value, the setting of whether to execute the activity amount determination process, and the transmission destination of the activity amount deficiency notification are transmitted to the server device 1 by the communication unit 6A (step S14-8). These values and settings are received by the communication unit 1B of the server device 1 (step S14-9) and stored in the storage unit 1D (step S14-10). Through the above processing, the activity amount index value 33 in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1, the setting of whether or not to execute the activity amount determination processing, and the content of the transmission destination of the activity amount insufficient notification are updated.

  In the communication frequency index value setting process (step S13-14), the communication frequency setting value 34 stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 is changed to the communication frequency in the same manner as the activity amount index value setting process (step S13-13). Setting whether to execute the determination process (FIG. 12) and the destination of information non-arrival notification (step S12-4 in FIG. 12) are read to the doctor terminal 6 and returned to the storage unit 1D again after setting and editing. It is.

  Also in the inquiry setting process (step S13-15), the inquiry information stored in the storage unit 1D of the server device 1 is set and edited by the doctor terminal 6 by the same process.

  In this Embodiment, the biological information measured with each sensor 7 can be confirmed with the operation procedure unified irrespective of the kind of sensor by providing the display part 9F in the subject side terminal 9. FIG. Especially for elderly people who are many users of this type of device, even if the display operation is different for each sensor 7, it can be confirmed by the same operation on the terminal 9 on the subject side and is very convenient to use It becomes. In addition, the subject himself / herself can immediately confirm the relationship between his / her activity amount and other biological information at the subject terminal 9 at hand.

  In addition, since time information is added to the biological information measured by the sensor 7 by the time information adding unit 9D, it is possible to grasp a time-series relationship between a predetermined amount of activity and biological information, and doctors and the like are more finely tuned. Judgment is possible.

  Furthermore, in the daily life of the subject, it is possible to accurately grasp whether the activity amount instruction from the doctor or the like matches the actual activity amount of the subject. Therefore, it is very effective in the treatment and guidance of diseases that are closely related to the amount of activity in daily life, such as lifestyle-related diseases. In addition, since the subject and doctor can be informed of the lack of activity amount accurately and the subject and doctor can be prevented from overlooking the lack of activity amount, very effective treatment and guidance can be achieved.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the server device 1 compares the activity amount with the activity amount index value, and if the activity amount is less than the activity amount index value, the doctor terminal 6, the subject side terminal 9, and the external device An activity amount determination unit 1E that transmits an activity amount deficiency notification to the device 11 is provided. The activity amount index value can be set and changed at the doctor terminal 6 or the examiner side terminal 9. Thereby, in the subject's daily life, it is possible to accurately grasp whether the activity amount instruction from the doctor or the like matches the actual activity amount of the subject. Therefore, it is very effective in the treatment and guidance of diseases that are closely related to the amount of activity in daily life, such as lifestyle-related diseases. In addition, since the subject and doctor can be informed of the lack of activity amount accurately and the subject and doctor can be prevented from overlooking the lack of activity amount, very effective treatment and guidance can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, since the subject side terminal 9 has an inquiry answer function, the state of the subject can be grasped more accurately and more effective treatment and guidance can be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the subject side terminal 9 has passed a predetermined period from the most recent transmission of biometric information or inquiry answer information from the subject side terminal 9 to the server device 1. If so, the periodic transmission for automatically transmitting the latest biometric information and inquiry answer information to the server device 1 is executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent forgetting to transmit the biometric information collected by the sensor 7 or the inputted inquiry answer, so that it is possible to avoid lack of data for treatment and guidance due to lack of the biometric information and the inquiry answer.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the server device 1 compares the elapsed time from the previous reception of the biological information or the inquiry information from the subject side terminal 9 due to the operation by the subject with the communication frequency index value. When the elapsed time is equal to or greater than the communication frequency index value, a communication frequency determination unit 1F that transmits an information non-arrival notification to the doctor terminal 6, the subject side terminal 9, and the external device 11 is provided. Thereby, it becomes possible to determine the abnormality of the subject based on whether or not the subject himself / herself operates the subject-side terminal 9 and the presence / absence of transmission of the inquiry answer to the server device 1, and when the abnormality occurs Early response is possible. Specifically, in the unlikely event that an abnormality such as an elderly person living alone loses consciousness, it becomes impossible to measure biometric information or answer an interview, and these abnormalities are detected and covered. By notifying the examiner side terminal 9, the doctor terminal 6 and the like, it is possible to cope with an abnormality early.

  As described above, the health management support system according to the present invention transmits the activity amount and other biological information to the server device as the biological information including the activity amount by the subject who needs the health management. By examining these correlations, detailed and precise treatment and guidance are possible, and a greater effect can be obtained for lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity. Therefore, the present invention is useful as a health management support system for communicating between medical personnel such as doctors and examinees at home or in medical institutions.
