As shown in FIG. 7, the display unit 140 displays a measurement value display unit 21 for performing display for prompting input of measurement values and various settings, a bed number display unit 22 for displaying a bed number, and a patient's name. Patient name display unit 23, medical worker name display unit 24 that displays the name of a medical worker who has been ID-authenticated, a charging indicator 25 that indicates whether charging is performed, and a body temperature input display that is turned on when a measured body temperature value is input Unit 26, an SpO ₂ input display unit 27 that lights up when an SpO ₂ measurement value is input, a tour mode display unit 28 that lights up in the tour mode, a time display unit 29 that displays the current time, and the remaining battery power A battery remaining amount display unit 30 for displaying the amount, a wireless LAN display unit 31 for displaying presence / absence of wireless LAN communication, a USB communication display unit 32 for displaying presence / absence of USB communication, and the presence / absence of untransmitted data. Not the transmission data display unit 33, and a transition destination display unit 34 to inform the like transition destination when operating the menu / confirm button 2 and setting operation keys 3.

  Now, when the biological information measuring device 100 is used in a hospital, a medical worker (for example, ME) operates the operation unit 130 as a selection unit to select either the patrol mode or the fixed mode. The patrol mode is adapted to a business mode in which a medical staff such as a nurse visits each patient while carrying the biological information measuring device 100 and performs biological information measurement in a hospital. On the other hand, in the fixed mode, the biological information measuring device 100 is fixedly arranged for each hospitalized patient (around the bed) and the biological information measuring device 100 is used to measure the biological information of the patient. Adapt to form.

Specifically, either the cyclic mode or the fixed mode is selected as follows. For example, when a medical worker operates the menu / confirmation button 2 and the setting operation key 3, the display field (1) that prompts the patrol / fixed selection as follows is displayed on the display unit 140 by default.
Patrol / fixed selection: Fixed… (1)

This display indicates that the fixed mode is selected by default. Here, when the medical staff presses the upper key 3a or the lower key 3b, for example, the display field is switched as shown in (2) below.
Tour / fixed selection: Tour… (2)

  This display indicates that the patrol mode has been selected.

  In this manner, when the medical staff operates the operation unit 130, either the patrol mode or the fixed mode is selected.

  When the tour mode is selected, the tour mode control unit 111 of the biological information measuring device 100 executes the process shown in the flow of FIG.

  First, the patrol mode control unit 111 works as a medical worker ID authentication unit, and takes in and authenticates a medical worker ID for identifying a medical worker (for example, a nurse) (step S101). Subsequently, the traveling mode control unit 111 initializes biometric information (hereinafter referred to as “measured value” as appropriate) and a patient ID (step S102). Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which biometric information with unknown origin (measured values of different patients, etc.) is transmitted outside the device.

  Thereafter, the patrol mode control unit 111 operates as a patient ID authentication unit, and takes in and authenticates a patient ID for specifying a patient (step S103). In this example, the barcode reader 152 is used for taking in the medical worker ID and the patient ID. Therefore, the work for the authentication of the medical worker ID and the authentication of the patient ID becomes easy. Subsequently, the cyclic mode control unit 111 initializes the measurement value (step S104). Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a situation in which past unknown measurement values and the like are transmitted to the outside of the device.

  Thereafter, in response to the measurement start input from the medical staff (or patient) to the operation unit 130, the patrol mode control unit 111 works as a measurement display control unit to cause the measurement unit 150 to acquire a measurement value and to display the display unit. Control is performed to display the measured value acquired in 140 (step S105). The screen displayed on the display unit 140 at this stage is, for example, as shown in FIG. The medical staff can determine whether or not the measurement value is appropriate by looking at the measurement value displayed on the display unit 140. When the medical worker determines that the measured value is appropriate, the measured value is confirmed by an input to the operation unit 130 (specifically, the menu / confirm button 2).

  When the measurement value displayed on display unit 140 is confirmed by input to operation unit 130 (YES in step S106), cyclic mode control unit 111 acts as a transmission control unit, and the measurement value and this measurement value are confirmed. Control that transmits the communication information 190 to the relay server 200 via the network 900 as communication data in association with the confirmed information indicating that and the patient ID is performed (step S107).

  Note that, after the measurement is completed, when a certain period of time elapses without the measurement value being confirmed, the traveling mode control unit 111 moves away from the flow of FIG. The communication unit 190 controls the communication data to be transmitted to the relay server 200 via the network 900. However, the measurement value for which the patient ID is not specified is suspended in the biological information measuring device 100 without being transmitted.

In this embodiment, in the cyclic mode flow (FIG. 8) and the fixed mode flow (FIG. 9) described later, the authentication of the medical worker ID and the authentication of the patient ID are:
i) The medical worker ID or patient ID captured by the biological information measuring device 100 is transmitted to the relay server 200,
ii) In the relay server 200, the control unit 210 receives the received medical worker ID or patient ID, the medical worker list stored in the storage unit 220, the medical worker ID listed in the patient list, and the patient. Contrast with ID,
iii) The relay server 200 returns the information indicating whether or not there is a medical worker ID and a patient ID that match each other to the biological information measuring device 100.

  However, the medical worker ID or patient ID captured by the biological information measuring device 100 is directly transmitted to the hospital information server 300. In the hospital information server 300, the control unit 310 receives the received medical worker ID or patient ID and the storage unit. Authentication may be performed by comparing the medical staff ID list and the patient ID listed in the medical staff list list and patient list list stored in 320.

  In addition, the medical worker list and the patient list are stored in the storage unit 120 of the biological information measuring device 100, and the medical worker ID captured by the control unit 110 using the barcode reader 152 in the biological information measuring device 100. Alternatively, authentication may be performed by comparing the patient ID with the medical staff list stored in the storage unit 120, the medical staff ID listed in the patient list, and the patient ID.

  On the other hand, when the fixed mode is selected, the hospital performs a floor entry process for associating a patient with a bed number before measuring biometric information.

  For example, FIG. 10 shows a flow for performing the floor entry process using the hospital terminal 400.

というように表示部４４０に表示される。続いて、病院端末４００は、この入床情報を、通信部４９０によってネットワーク９００を介して病院情報サーバ３００へ送信する（ステップＳ３０３）。すると、病院情報サーバ３００は、図１３に示したフローに基づいて、その入床情報を記録する。 The medical worker first captures a medical worker ID for identifying the medical worker (nurse in this example) using the barcode reader 431 connected to the hospital terminal 400 in the operating state of the hospital terminal 400. (Step S301). Subsequently, the medical staff uses the operation unit 430 to specify the patient ID and the bed number assigned to the patient. Then, the control unit 410 of the hospital terminal 400 inputs the bed entry information that represents the bed number assigned to the patient in association with the patient ID of the patient (step S302). The entered bed information is controlled by a control signal from the control unit 410 together with the patient name, for example.

Is displayed on the display unit 440. Subsequently, the hospital terminal 400 transmits the entrance information to the hospital information server 300 via the network 900 by the communication unit 490 (step S303). Then, the hospital information server 300 records the entrance information based on the flow shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11 shows a flow for performing the floor entry process using the biological information measuring device 100 instead of the hospital terminal 400.

というように表示部１４０に表示される。続いて、生体情報測定機器１００は、この入床情報を、通信部１９０によってネットワーク９００を介して中継サーバ２００へ送信する（ステップＳ４０４）。すると、中継サーバ２００は、図１２に示したフローに基づいて、その入床情報を病院情報サーバ３００へ送信する。病院情報サーバ３００は、図１３に示したフローに基づいて、その入床情報を記録する。 The medical worker first uses the barcode reader 152 connected to the biological information measuring device 100 in the operating state of the biological information measuring device 100 to first identify a medical worker (in this example, a nurse). The patient ID is acquired and authenticated (step S401), and the patient ID for specifying the patient is acquired and authenticated (step S402). Subsequently, the medical staff uses the operation unit 130 to specify the bed number assigned to the patient. Then, the control unit 110 of the biological information measuring device 100 works as an entry information input unit, and inputs entry information that represents the bed number assigned to the patient in association with the patient ID of the patient (step S403). The inputted bed entry information is controlled by a control signal from the control unit 110 together with the patient name, for example.

Is displayed on the display unit 140. Subsequently, the biological information measuring device 100 transmits the floor entry information to the relay server 200 via the network 900 by the communication unit 190 (step S404). Then, the relay server 200 transmits the entrance information to the hospital information server 300 based on the flow shown in FIG. The hospital information server 300 records the floor entry information based on the flow shown in FIG.

  In this way, the floor entry process is performed according to the flow of either FIG. 10 or FIG.

  When the fixed mode is selected, the fixed mode control unit 112 of the biological information measuring device 100 executes the process shown in the flow of FIG.

  First, the fixed mode control unit 112 works as a patient ID authentication unit, and takes in and authenticates a patient ID for specifying a patient (step S201). In this example, the barcode reader 152 is used for taking in the patient ID. Therefore, the work for patient ID authentication is facilitated. Subsequently, the fixed mode control unit 112 initializes the measurement value (step S202). Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which biometric information with unknown origin (measured values of different patients, etc.) is transmitted outside the device.

  Thereafter, the fixed mode control unit 112 works as a measurement display control unit in response to an input of measurement start to the operation unit 130 by the patient, and causes the measurement unit 150 to acquire a measurement value and the measurement acquired by the display unit 140. Control to display the value is performed (step S203). The screen displayed on the display unit 140 at this stage is the same as that shown in FIG. 14, for example. The reason for accepting this step S203 is that if the patient is a relatively healthy patient, the patient can measure biological information by himself / herself, and the measurement by the patient's own measurement can be performed even if the medical staff does not bother to perform the measurement. This is because the value can be used.

  Next, the fixed mode control unit 112 works as a medical worker ID authentication unit, and takes in and authenticates a medical worker ID for specifying the medical worker (step S204). In this example, the barcode reader 152 is used for taking in the medical worker ID. Therefore, the work for authentication of the medical worker ID is facilitated.

  If no measurement value is displayed on the display unit 140 at this stage (NO in step S205), the medical worker inputs measurement start to the operation unit 130 (step S206). Then, the fixed mode control unit 112 functions as a measurement display control unit, and controls the measurement unit 150 to acquire the measurement value and controls the display unit 140 to display the measurement value acquired (step S206).

  If the measurement value is displayed on the display unit 140 as a result of step S205 or step S206, the medical worker looks at the measurement value displayed on the display unit 140 and determines whether or not the measurement value is appropriate. can do. When the medical worker determines that the measured value is appropriate, the measured value is confirmed by an input to the operation unit 130 (specifically, the menu / confirm button 2).

  When the measurement value displayed on the display unit 140 is confirmed by input to the operation unit 130 (YES in step S207), the fixed mode control unit 112 works as a transmission control unit, and the measurement value and the measurement value are confirmed. Control that transmits the communication information 190 to the relay server 200 via the network 900 as communication data in association with the confirmed information indicating that and the patient ID is performed (step S208).

  Note that, after the measurement is completed, when a certain period of time has passed without the measurement value being confirmed, the fixed mode control unit 112 moves away from the flow of FIG. The communication unit 190 controls the communication data to be transmitted to the relay server 200 via the network 900.

  In this way, according to the biological information measuring device 100, the measurement value displayed on the display unit 140 is determined by the input to the operation unit 130 regardless of whether the cyclic mode or the fixed mode is selected. When this is done, the measurement value, the confirmation information, and the patient ID are associated with each other and transmitted to the relay server 200 as communication data. On the other hand, after a measurement is completed, when a certain period of time has passed without the measurement value being confirmed, the measurement value and the patient ID are associated with each other and transmitted to the relay server 200 as communication data without the confirmation information. Note that the measurement value for which the patient ID is not specified is suspended in the biological information measuring device 100 without being transmitted. Data without confirmation information may be sent together with the next confirmation.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, the relay server 200 does not include the communication data including the confirmation information (referred to as “communication data A”) and the confirmation information as communication data via the network 900. One of the communication data (this is referred to as “communication data B”) is received. The relay server 200 transmits the communication data A including the confirmation information to the hospital information server 300 according to the flow of FIG. 12, while holding the communication data B not including the confirmation information.

In the example shown in FIG. 15, the items of communication data A include patient ID, medical worker ID, blood pressure (maximum), blood pressure (minimum), pulse rate, body temperature, SpO ₂ , and confirmed date and time as confirmed information. Can be included. The items of communication data B include patient ID, blood pressure measurement date / time, blood pressure (maximum), blood pressure (minimum), pulse measurement date / time, pulse rate, body temperature measurement date / time, body temperature, SpO ₂ measurement date / time, and SpO _2. it can. It is noted that the communication data B does not include a medical worker ID and a fixed date and time.

  Next, the hospital information server 300 receives the communication data A via the network 900. In the above example, the hospital information server 300 corresponds to the measurement value included in the communication data A and the patient ID according to the flow of FIG. Attach it to the electronic medical record.

  Thus, according to the biological information measuring device 100 and / or the biological information measuring system 90 equipped with the biological information measuring device 100, the patient's biological information can be efficiently and reliably electronically input by a simple input operation according to the business form in the hospital. Can be recorded in medical records. The communication data B that does not include the confirmation information is held in the relay server 200 (can be used as a log). Therefore, it is possible to prevent biometric information of unknown origin (measured values of different patients, etc.) from being transmitted to the hospital information server 300, and to prevent confusion in the hospital information server 300.

  Further, for example, the history of the operation of the biological information measuring device 100 by the patient can be found from the communication data B reserved in the relay server 200, and therefore the behavior of the patient (the number of remeasurements, etc.) can be analyzed based on this history. Furthermore, by sending and managing the device ID together with the measurement data, the number of times the device is measured can be grasped, and the maintenance time of the device can be grasped.

  The medical worker may access the communication data B held in the relay server 200 and confirm and confirm the measured value afterwards at a time different from the measured time. As such, when the measurement value included in the communication data B is confirmed afterwards, the communication data B is changed to the communication data C and sent to the hospital information server 300. The item of communication data C is the same as the item of communication data A. Therefore, it is possible to transmit the biometric information determined by the medical staff to be appropriate not only from the biometric information measuring device 100 but also from the relay server 200 to the hospital information server 300.

  Here, the access to the communication data B reserved in the relay server 200 is performed on the operation unit 230 of the relay server 200, the operation unit 330 of the hospital information server 300, or the hospital terminal 400, for example, on the condition of authentication of the medical worker ID. This can be performed from any of the operation units 430. In those cases, the medical staff sees the measured values displayed on the display unit 240 of the relay server 200, the display unit 340 of the hospital information server 300, or the display unit 440 of the hospital terminal 400, respectively, and the measured values are appropriate. It can be determined whether or not there is.

In the above embodiment, the “biological information” measured by the biological information measuring device 100 is mainly blood pressure, body temperature, and SpO ₂ . Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the biological information measuring device of the present invention may widely measure information related to a patient's living body such as a pulse and a respiratory rate.

  Further, the relay server 200 and the hospital information server 300 may be housed in a physically integrated casing.
