Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic sphygmomanometer, and more particularly to an electronic sphygmomanometer that ensures the classification of measured blood pressure data by measurement condition.

  With increasing interest in health care, an increasing number of families have blood pressure monitors. The merit of blood pressure measurement at home is that it can check hidden information that is difficult to find in hospitals such as `` early morning hypertension '' where blood pressure is abnormally high in the early morning and `` nighttime hypertension '' where blood pressure increases during sleep Since it fluctuates depending on the time and place where it is measured, more information on blood pressure fluctuations can be obtained than when it is temporarily measured at a medical institution.

In order to make blood pressure measurement at home useful data for health management, it is important to determine the time of the day and check daily blood pressure fluctuations. Especially in one day, “blood pressure value measured in the morning” and “blood pressure value measured in the night” are considered to be important as blood pressure data. As used herein, “blood pressure value measured in the morning” refers to immediately after getting up, and “blood pressure value measured at night” refers to immediately before going to bed. (From the Japanese Society of Hypertension "High Blood Pressure Treatment Guidelines 2009")
Here, the time when you actually wake up is used as the “wake-up” time, and the blood pressure data measured after you actually wake up is the “measured value after waking up”. The blood pressure data measured before actually going to bed using the measured time can be used as the “measured value before going to bed”.

  For example, for a user whose life cycle is different from that of a normal person such as a shift worker, blood pressure data measured after waking up in the evening is “measured value after waking up”, and blood pressure data measured before going to bed, for example, around noon Measured value ”.

  In such a sphygmomanometer that is used at home for the above-mentioned purpose including the above case, there is a problem of how to relate the measured blood pressure data and the time condition as the measurement condition by a simple operation. It becomes.

  In this regard, as a conventional technique in which a health device such as a blood pressure monitor is associated with a measurement time, for example, there is a health device disclosed in Patent Document 1.

  In the health device of Patent Literature 1, when the health device is provided with a timer setting unit and a notification function unit and the usage time set by the user in the timer setting unit is reached, the notification function unit notifies the user in a notification form such as voice.

  As another example of the prior art, there is an electronic blood pressure monitor of Patent Document 2.

  The electronic sphygmomanometer disclosed in Patent Document 2 previously inputs measurement time information as measurement conditions such as “wake-up time”, “post-wake-up time zone”, “sleeping time”, “pre-sleeping time zone”, and the like. The measured blood pressure data and measurement conditions are associated with the time when the user measures blood pressure.

  Furthermore, as another example of the prior art, there is an electronic blood pressure monitor of Patent Document 3.

The electronic sphygmomanometer disclosed in Patent Document 3 includes measurement switches corresponding to a plurality of types of measurement conditions such as “after waking up”, “before going to bed”, “normal”, and the like. By pressing any of these, the measured blood pressure data is associated with the measurement conditions.

JP-A-11-178798 JP 2007-11119 A JP 2006-158879 A

  However, Patent Document 1 is merely intended to guide the user to continuously use the health device, and does not intend to associate blood pressure data with measurement conditions.

  In Patent Document 2, blood pressure measurement and measurement conditions can be associated with each other, but it is necessary for the user to set measurement time information manually in advance, which is very complicated for the user. It was. In addition, it is easy to induce setting mistakes, and there is a possibility that the setting itself may be forgotten. In particular, a user whose life cycle is different from that of a normal person such as a shift worker needs to be reset every time the life cycle is changed. In another aspect, if the user makes a mistake in setting the time of a clock built in the sphygmomanometer, there is a problem that the measurement conditions themselves become inaccurate.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, since the measurement condition is set by pressing the switch, there is a problem that it is very complicated for the user in that it still requires an operation before the measurement. In addition, a switch suitable for the measurement condition must be selected from a large number of switches with various measurement conditions, and there is room for improvement in that it is easy to induce a push error. . In another aspect, the large number of operation switches is a burden on the handling especially for elderly people.

  As described above, in the prior art, there is room for improvement in that the measured blood pressure data is correctly classified and stored as “measured values after getting up” and “measured values before going to bed”.

  The present invention has been made in view of the background art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to ensure the classification of blood pressure data according to measurement conditions without requiring complicated input and operation in setting the measurement conditions. .

In order to solve the above-described problems, an electronic sphygmomanometer according to the present invention includes a blood pressure measurement unit that measures blood pressure,
A time measuring unit that supplies time information and includes an alarm function and a stop operation unit for stopping the alarm function, and a storage unit that stores blood pressure data measured by the blood pressure measuring unit in association with the measured time And a control means. The control means uses the time at which the stop operation unit is operated as a reference time, is measured within a predetermined range before or after the reference time, or both, and is stored in the storage means. The blood pressure data is further associated with a measurement condition set with respect to the reference time.

  According to the present invention, blood pressure data measured based on a user's daily inevitable operation, that is, alarm stop of an alarm function can be associated with measurement conditions, so that complicated input and operation are required for setting measurement conditions. do not do.

  In addition, since the measured blood pressure data is associated with the measurement conditions based on the action associated with daily activities such as wake-up, a user whose life cycle differs from that of a normal person such as a shift worker need not change the setting conditions. Switch operation corresponding to the measurement conditions is also unnecessary, so that erroneous switch pressing can be prevented.

  Preferably, the predetermined ranges before the reference time and after the reference time are ranges determined by one or both of the first procedure and the second procedure, respectively.

  Preferably, in the first procedure for the measurement data before the reference time, the blood pressure data stored in the storage means selects a predetermined number of blood pressure data by counting back from the latest blood pressure data. The second procedure for the measurement data before the reference time is to select the blood pressure data measured within the time span that is set in advance from the set time for the measurement data before the reference time. It is.

  Preferably, in the first procedure for the measurement data after the reference time, a predetermined number of blood pressure data is selected in order from the oldest blood pressure data, and the first procedure for the measurement data after the reference time is selected. The procedure of 2 selects blood pressure data measured within a time range that is a predetermined time after the set time, and for the measurement data after the reference time, the reference time is set as the start, and the determination is made after the reference time. The blood pressure data measured within a given time width is selected.

  Preferably, the measurement condition is set for an alarm function.

  Preferably, the alarm function is an alarm notifying that it is a wake-up time, and the measurement condition is that before the reference time is before going to bed and after the reference time is after wake-up.

  Preferably, the set time is a time when the alarm function is set.

  Preferably, the set time is a measurement time of the latest blood pressure data among blood pressure data measured before the reference time.

  Preferably, the alarm function can further set an alarm to notify the meal time or medication time, and when the alarm function is a meal time, the measurement condition is before the reference time before the meal and after the reference time after the meal. When the function is dosing time, the measurement condition is that before the reference time is before dosing and after the reference time is after dosing.

  According to the electronic sphygmomanometer of the present invention, it is possible to reliably classify blood pressure data according to measurement conditions without requiring complicated input and operation for setting measurement conditions.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
First, the configuration of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

  In FIG. 1, an electronic sphygmomanometer 100 includes a main body 110, an operation unit 120 provided on the main body and provided with operation buttons such as a power button, and a display unit 130 that displays measured blood pressure data in a desired form requested by the user. The cuff 140 is configured to pressurize the blood pressure measurement site with the air pressure that is attached to the user's blood pressure measurement site and sent through the air tube 150 in blood pressure measurement.

  The electronic sphygmomanometer 100 has a built-in clock unit having an alarm function as an alarm function, and the alarm of the alarm function is configured to stop even if any button arranged on the operation unit 120 is pressed. Yes.

  In FIG. 2, the hardware of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 includes a blood pressure measurement unit 210 that measures blood pressure connected to the cuff 140 and the air tube 150, a clock unit 240 that is a clock having an alarm function, a clock that sets an alarm time, and the like. Storage unit 220 that stores blood pressure data measured by setting unit 250 and blood pressure measurement unit 210 in association with time data from clock unit 240, display unit 130, operation unit 120 including various button inputs, and alarm of an alarm clock The speaker 260 is configured to generate sound (bell sound or buzzer sound), and the CPU 230 controls each of these functions. The storage unit 220 is configured by a RAM, for example.

  Next, the operation of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 during blood pressure measurement will be described.

  When the CPU 230 receives a measurement start instruction by pressing a measurement / stop button (not shown), the CPU 230 transmits a control signal for starting a blood pressure measurement sequence to the blood pressure measurement unit 210.

  When the blood pressure measurement unit 210 receives the control signal, the blood pressure measurement unit 210 inflates by sending air into the cuff 140 through the air pipe 150. The pulse wave component superimposed on the cuff pressure is extracted from the pressure fluctuation of the expanded cuff 140, and the maximum blood pressure and the minimum blood pressure are calculated from the pulse wave amplitude by a predetermined algorithm.

  As a blood pressure measurement method of an electronic sphygmomanometer, methods based on various principles such as an oscillometric method are known, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  The acquired blood pressure data is displayed on the display unit 130 and transmitted from the blood pressure measurement unit 210 to the storage unit 220 based on an instruction from the CPU 230. At the same time, the acquired blood pressure data is associated with time data by the clock unit 240, that is, data indicating the date and time, and is stored in the storage unit 220 as one record.

  In the present embodiment, based on the user's operation of stopping the alarm function of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 when getting up, the blood pressure data stored in the storage unit as described above is automatically “measured value before going to bed”. The measurement value associated with the measurement condition, such as “measurement value after waking up”, and the measurement value that does not belong to any measurement condition are classified.

  The procedure for classifying the blood pressure data in the present embodiment is based on the wake-up time, and a predetermined number of blood pressure data measured before that is set as “measured values before going to bed” in advance. A predetermined number of blood pressure data measured after the time is set as “measured values after waking up” in order from the oldest (first procedure). Here, the number of data regarding the “measured value before going to bed” and the number of data regarding the “measured value after waking up” do not have to be the same.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the number of data for “measured values before going to bed” is three and the number of data for “measured values after waking up” is two. These numbers may be stored in the storage unit 220 in advance, or may be set in the operation unit 120.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, the relationship between the blood pressure measurement operation of the user for one day and the operation of the electronic sphygmomanometer according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows that the user goes to bed at 23:00 and wakes up at 7:00 in the next morning, and blood pressure at the times shown in the figure is 4 times A to D before going to bed and 3 times E to G after getting up. An example of measurement is shown in the time chart.

  FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the operation of the electronic sphygmomanometer according to the present embodiment when the user performs the blood pressure measurement shown in FIG. 5 and 6 conceptually show the structure of the storage unit 220 when blood pressure data is stored along with the blood pressure measurement operation. As will be described later, FIG. 6 shows a structure before the alarm function is stopped, and FIG. 6 shows a structure after the alarm function is stopped.

  With reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in this embodiment, blood pressure data to be stored and data associated with the blood pressure data are represented by date, hour and minute “Ti”, and systolic blood pressure “SBPi” (Systemic Blood Pressure). , Systolic blood pressure), diastolic blood pressure “DBPi” (also referred to as Diastrotic Blood Pressure, diastolic blood pressure), and pulse rate “PLSi” (/ min). Here, “i” at the end of each data is a variable for determining a plurality of blood pressure data, and is the same value in the blood pressure data obtained by one measurement.

  “ADDRi” indicates an address of the storage unit, and blood pressure data and data associated with the blood pressure data are stored as a record Ri at the address “ADDRi” in time units. “F” is a flag for classifying measurement conditions of blood pressure data, “F = 1” indicates “measured value before going to bed”, and “F = 2” indicates “measured value after getting up”. The initial value of “F” is “0”, and “F = 0” is maintained if the corresponding blood pressure data is not classified as “measured value before going to bed” or “measured value after waking up”.

  In the present embodiment, blood pressure measurement in A to D of FIG. 3 is performed before waking up, and as shown in FIG. 5, blood pressure data corresponding to A to D is stored in the storage unit 220 as records R1 to R4. As already stored. The values of the flags “F” at this time are all “0”.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, after waking up, the user presses any button disposed on the operation unit 120 of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 to stop the alarm function built in the electronic sphygmomanometer 100. The subsequent operation of the CPU 230 will be described. When the alarm stop button is operated (YES in S402), the CPU 230 stores the time when the button is pressed in the storage unit 220 (S404). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the CPU 230 stores the wake-up time T0 = 7: 00 in ADDRX of the storage unit 220.

  If the alarm function is not stopped (NO in S402), the process loops until the button is pressed.

  Next, the CPU 230 stores three pieces of blood pressure data as “measured values before going to bed” in the storage unit 220 retroactively from the latest blood pressure data R4 measured before the alarm stop operation time, that is, the wake-up time (S406). Specifically, in the present embodiment, R4, R3, and R2 correspond to “measured values before going to bed”, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, their flags “F” are set to “1”. The flag “F” of R1 that deviates from the “pre-sleep measurement value” remains “0”.

  Next, “j + 1” is substituted into the variable “j” (S410), and when the blood pressure is measured (YES in S412), the blood pressure data is stored in the storage unit 220 together with the time (S414). The variable “j” is a variable for discriminating two pieces of blood pressure data to be adopted as “measurement value after waking up”. If the blood pressure measurement is not performed (NO in S412), the process loops until the blood pressure is measured.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, first, the blood pressure data of E is stored as R5, and the value of the variable “j” at this time is “1”, so S416 is skipped to NO and the flag “ “2” is set to the value of “F” (S418).

  Similarly, the blood pressure data of F is stored as the record R6 in the storage unit 220, and “2” is set to the flag “F” of R6.

  Next, the blood pressure data of G is also stored in the storage unit 220 as a record R7. Since the value of the variable “j” at this time is “3”, S416 is skipped to YES, and the value of the variable “j” is changed to “ “0” is cleared (S420), and the process returns to S402. The value of the flag “F” of R7 remains “0”.

  For blood pressure data obtained by performing blood pressure measurement after classifying blood pressure data into “measured values before going to bed” and “measured values after getting up” by an alarm stop operation, the processing shown in FIG. Thus, blood pressure data is stored.

  As a result of the operation of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 of the present embodiment as described above, the data structure of the storage unit 220 is as shown in FIG.

  That is, the blood pressure data records R2, R3, R4 for B, C, D are classified as “measured values before going to bed” with the value of the flag “F” set to “1”, and the blood pressure data records R5 for E, F , The value of the flag “F” of R6 is set to “2” and classified as “measurement value after waking up”.

  Thereafter, in response to a user operation on the operation unit 120, if there is a display request for “measured values before going to bed”, the CPU 230 reads the records R2, R3, R4 from the storage unit 220, and displays the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse. The number, measurement time, etc. are displayed on the display unit 130 in FIG. 1, and if there is a display request for “measurement value after waking up”, the records R5 and R6 can be read and displayed in the same manner.

  Alternatively, the CPU 230 receives a display request for the average value of “measured values before going to bed” and displays the average values of the highest blood pressure and the lowest blood pressure included in the records R2, R3, and R4, An average value display request can be received and the same display can be performed.

  In this way, the user can easily observe daily changes in blood pressure values under each life activity situation.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, blood pressure data measured based on the user's daily inevitable operation, that is, alarm stop of the alarm function, can be associated with the measurement conditions. And no operation is required.

  In addition, since the measured blood pressure data is associated with the measurement conditions based on the action associated with daily activities such as wake-up, a user whose life cycle differs from that of a normal person such as a shift worker need not change the setting conditions. Switch operation corresponding to the measurement conditions is also unnecessary, so that erroneous switch pressing can be prevented.

  In particular, since the number of data measured after waking up and before going to bed is related to the measurement conditions, even if you make many measurements after waking up and before going to bed, the `` measured value after waking up '' “Previous measurement value” can associate data close to bedtime with measurement conditions.

(Second Embodiment)
This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the procedure for classifying the measured blood pressure data into “measured value after waking up” and “measured value before going to bed”.

  That is, in the second embodiment, the classification condition of “measurement value after waking up” is blood pressure data measured within a predetermined time width, for example, one hour after the alarm function stop time (second procedure).

  Here, the time after the elapse of the predetermined time period after the alarm function is stopped is referred to as “wake-up limit time”. In this embodiment, the alarm function stop time is 7:00, so this time is set to 8:00. The The predetermined time width may be set in advance in the storage unit 220 shown in FIG. 2, or may be set by the clock setting unit 250.

  In the second embodiment, the classification condition of “measured value before going to bed” is blood pressure data measured a predetermined time width from the bedtime, for example, 1 hour before (second procedure).

  In this case, the bedtime may be set, for example, by setting the measurement time of the latest blood pressure data among the blood pressure data measured before the wake-up time as the bedtime, or the time when the alarm function is turned on. It may be stored and set as a bedtime.

  Also in the present embodiment, the blood pressure measurement shown in FIG. 3 is performed by the user, and a flowchart of the operation of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 according to the present embodiment at this time is shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 7, the operations from S702 to S704 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In S706, the blood pressure data measured one hour before the bedtime set as described above is stored in the storage unit 220 as “measurement value before bedtime”.

In S708, the CPU 230 determines whether or not the wake-up limit time 8:00 has elapsed, and if it has elapsed, the process returns to S702. This is because blood pressure data measured after this time cannot be classified as “measurement values after waking up”.

  Next, when blood pressure measurement is performed by the user (YES in S710), the CPU 230 stores the blood pressure data together with the time in the storage unit 220 (S712), and sets the flag “F” to “2” (S714). If the blood pressure measurement is not performed (NO in S710), the process returns to S708. The steps S710 to S714 are repeated until the wake-up limit time elapses, and all blood pressure data measured from the wake-up time 7:00 to the wake-up limit time 8:00 are classified as “post-wake-up measurement values”.

  In the present embodiment, since the blood pressure measurement shown in FIG. 3 is performed by the user, when the operation of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 of the present embodiment is completed based on the above flow, the data in the storage unit 220 is the first Unlike the embodiment, the record R2 shown in FIG. 6 has a configuration in which the flag “F” is “0” and is not classified as “measured value before going to bed”.

  Note that the time width for the “measured value before going to bed” and the time width for the “measured value after waking up” do not have to be the same.

  Further, an ON / OFF button for switching whether the user uses the wake-up time storage function, that is, whether to use the function according to the present invention, may be provided, and “measurement value before going to bed” and “measurement after wake-up” A button capable of setting an extraction condition (such as a time width) of “value” may be provided on the operation unit 120.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, blood pressure data measured within the time width after waking up and before going to bed is associated with the measurement condition, so blood pressure data measured with time away from the waking time and bedtime. Is not associated with the measurement condition, and blood pressure data suitable for the measurement condition of “measured value after waking up” and “measured value before going to bed” can be associated.

(Third embodiment)
This embodiment is a combination of the procedures for classifying the measured blood pressure data into “post-wake measurement values” and “pre-sleep measurement values” in the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

  That is, in the third embodiment, the classification condition of the “measurement value after waking up” is set to a predetermined number in the order from the oldest one that is measured within a predetermined time width after the alarm function stop time, for example, 1 Two blood pressure data from the oldest measured within the time are taken.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the classification condition of “measured value before going to bed” is the number measured in a predetermined time width from the bedtime and a predetermined number in order from the latest one, for example, 1 hour before Three blood pressure data from the latest measured are taken.

  The present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the bedtime and the wake-up time of this embodiment are set to 23:00 and 7:00, respectively, as in the first embodiment and the second embodiment. It is assumed that blood pressure measurement is performed 6 times H to M before going to bed and 4 times N to Q after getting up at the times shown in the figure.

  Referring to FIG. 9, S902 and S904 are the same as those described in FIG. 4 or FIG.

In S <b> 906, the CPU 230 stores three of the blood pressure data measured one hour before the bedtime from the latest in the storage unit 220 as “measured values before bedtime”. Specifically, among the measurement data in FIG. 8, three of K to M correspond, so the flag “F” of the records R4 to R6 in the storage unit 220 in FIG. 10 changes from “0” to “1”. Set. J, that is, record R3 is data measured one hour before the bedtime, but is excluded from selection because it is the fourth from the latest, and the value of flag “F” remains “0”. .

  Next, the CPU 230 determines whether or not the wake-up limit time 8:00 has elapsed (S908), and if it has elapsed (YES in S908), the variable “j” is cleared to “0” (S920). The process returns to S902. The role of the variable “j” is the same as in FIG.

  If it has not elapsed (NO in S908), the presence / absence of blood pressure measurement is determined (S910). If blood pressure measurement is not performed (NO in S910), the process returns to S908. If the blood pressure measurement is performed (YES in S910), “j + 1” is substituted into the variable “j” (S912), and the blood pressure data is stored in the storage unit 220 together with the time (S914).

  S916 and S918 are the same as those described in FIG. 4, and two blood pressure data measured by these steps and S908 up to the wake-up limit time 8:00 are selected, and their flag “F” is changed from “0”. Set to “2”. Specifically, in FIG. 10, N and O in the storage unit 220, that is, the flags “F” of the records R7 and R8 are set to “2”. P, that is, the record R9 is measured before the wakeup limit time 8:00, but is excluded from the selection because it is the third, and the value of the flag “F” remains “0”.

  As a result of the operation of the electronic blood pressure monitor 100 of the present embodiment as described above, the data configuration of the storage unit 220 is as shown in FIG. That is, according to the flag “F”, the records R4 to R6 are classified as “measured values before going to bed” and the records R7 and R8 are classified as “measured values after waking up”.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, blood pressure data measured based on the time width and the number of data after waking up and before going to bed is associated with the measurement condition. , Blood pressure data suitable for the measurement condition “measured value before going to bed” can be associated.

  In the first to third embodiments described so far, the blood pressure data measured based on the user's action, that is, the alarm of the alarm function is stopped, are both “measured values before going to bed” and “measured values after getting up”. Although an example of storing in association with measurement conditions has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and blood pressure data measured based on the alarm stop operation of the alarm function is associated with only “measured values before going to bed”. Alternatively, only the “measurement value after getting up” may be associated.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the association between blood pressure data and measurement conditions is “the number of data from the reference time” in the first embodiment, “the time width from the reference time and bedtime” in the second embodiment, and the third implementation. In the form, “the combination of the number of data from the reference time and the time width” is the same procedure for the “measured value before going to bed” and “measured value after getting up”. However, it is not limited to this, for example, “measured value before bedtime” is “number of data from reference time”, and “measured value after waking up” is “measured value before bedtime” such as “time width from reference time”. And “measurement value after waking up” may be different.

Furthermore, although the alarm function has been described as an alarm function, the alarm function is not limited to this. For example, the alarm function is set to generate an alarm at a meal time, and the blood pressure data is set to “before meal” or “after meal” by the alarm stop operation. May be associated with the measurement condition “ As another example, an alarm may be set to be issued at a medication time, and blood pressure data may be stored in association with measurement conditions “before medication” and “after medication” by an alarm stop operation.

  A plurality of these alarm functions may be set during the day, and an alarm time and ON / OFF of the alarm function can be set for each. For example, the alarm for alarm may be set at 7:00, the alarm for meal time at 12:00, and the alarm for medication time at 17:00. The procedure for associating each blood pressure data with the measurement condition may be the same as the procedure described in the first to third embodiments, and “pre-meal (pre-medication)” as described above. The procedure may be different for “after meal (after medication)”.
