The present invention also relates to a fetal observation and recording device capable of executing the application of the fetal observation and recording program, and a fetal observation and recording network system including the fetal observation and recording device. The present invention also relates to an echo image observation and recording network system in which an individual user obtains an echo image of his/her own body and performs echo observation and recording.

Conventionally, various ultrasound diagnostic devices and scan-navigation systems thereof have been disclosed that relate to the acquisition of ultrasound images of a fetus.

However, most of the conventional ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses are used on the medical side, and are for obtaining ultrasonic images by skilled operation by medical personnel. For this reason, even for individual users (non-medical workers such as pregnant women) who are unfamiliar with ultrasonic probe scanning, a simple device operating environment and easy ultrasonic scanning have not been made possible. In addition, the present invention relates to an echo image observation and recording network system, enabling a simple device operating environment and easy ultrasound scanning even for individual users (non-medical workers) unfamiliar with ultrasound probe scanning. it wasn't something to do.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a fetal observation recording program, a fetal observation recording device, and a fetal observation recording network system, which are simple devices even for individual users (non-medical workers such as pregnant women) who are unfamiliar with ultrasonic probe scanning. An object of the present invention is to provide an operating environment and one that enables easy ultrasonic scanning.

In addition, the present invention relates to an echo image observation and recording network system, enabling a simple device operating environment and easy ultrasound scanning even for individual users (non-medical workers) unfamiliar with ultrasound probe scanning. The challenge is to provide what

In order to solve the above problems, the following means [1] to [15] are taken. Numerical strings in parentheses or character strings consisting of numbers and alphabets that follow each configuration name or concept name are symbols added for convenience in understanding the configuration or concept in each drawing shown as an embodiment. , is not intended to limit the content of construction or concepts.

[1] The fetal observation and recording program of the present invention is characterized in that the imaging operation display is divided into a plurality of sections on the display screen and displayed, allowing easy operation while confirming the captured image.

That is, the fetal observation and recording program of the present invention is an application program for performing fetal observation and recording based on an ultrasonic image acquired by an ultrasonic probe,
an imaging processing unit (12) that captures fetal observation images (moving or still images) based on ultrasonic images displayed in real time by an ultrasonic probe connected for communication;
Captured fetal observation images and accompanying data (text/image ( a memory processing unit (13) that associates moving images or still images)/audio data) with fetal observation images and stores them in the specific storage area;
The saved fetal observation images or their associated information are displayed in series along with operation buttons on a timeline based on the registered specific user's pregnancy information (expected delivery date, birthday, examination date, etc.). a series display processing unit (14);
at least a reading processing unit (15) for reading and displaying the fetal observation image or its associated information stored in the memory unit based on the button operation of the operation button displayed on the timeline by the series display processing unit. serve,
The imaging processing unit (12)
an ultrasound imaging unit (210) that displays in real time an ultrasound image acquired by an ultrasound probe;
An operation display unit (211) for displaying operation buttons for image (angle of view, enlargement/reduction, resolution, contrast) adjustment operation and imaging operation of an ultrasonic image is divided and displayed (imaging operation display) vertically or horizontally. ,
Among these, by operating the operation display unit, the imaging processing unit captures a fetal observation image based on an ultrasonic image, and the memory processing unit stores the captured fetal observation image as the number of days of pregnancy or date information at the time of imaging. It is characterized by being linked (tagged) with an identification code consisting of and stored in a specific storage area.

With the above configuration, the ultrasound imaging unit (210) and the operation display unit (211) are divided vertically or horizontally within the screen or operation display area and displayed in half when performing an imaging operation. By doing so, one half can be used to confirm the ultrasonic image unit (210) while the other half can be used to operate the operation display unit (211). Thereby, it is possible to easily input an operation in either one-handed operation or operation input instruction by voice recognition. Therefore, it has become possible for the pregnant woman to perform probe scanning easily without erroneous operation.

For example, FIG. 6 (102a) (102b) and FIG. 7 (102a') (102b') shown as an embodiment are divided into upper and lower parts of the display screen. ” corresponds to 8 (102d), FIG. 9 (103b) and (103c) shown as examples, for example, the input of the display screens in each of FIGS. It corresponds to the memory processing unit (13) for saving in the area”. Also, for example, the display of the scale structure in the upper right part of FIG. 10 (104b) and the upper part of FIG. This corresponds to "linking (tagging) an image with an identification code consisting of the number of days of pregnancy or date information at the time of imaging".

Reference numerals (102a) and (102a') denote imaging operation displays by the imaging processing section, and reference numerals (102b) and (102b') denote imaging operation displays by the imaging processing section and the operation assistance processing section.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned "displayed by dividing and arranging vertically or horizontally" means that at least a part of each of the two display units is arranged in either the vertical direction or the horizontal direction and displayed on the display screen. It includes both an overlapping display form including a portion in which two display sections are displayed overlapping each other, and a separate display form in which two display sections are displayed separated from each other. On the other hand, it does not include a completely overlapping display in which two display sections are completely overlapped and displayed transparently, or a switching display in which one of the display sections completely disappears by a switching operation.

The reading processing unit reads out the fetal observation image linked to the one icon, and the fetal observation image linked to the one icon and/or attached data (among them, a specific type set in advance). is (selectively) displayed.

With the above configuration, captured images can be easily managed by iconizing and classifying them by category of pregnancy weeks, and the progress can be browsed intuitively for each category by the number of days of pregnancy or the number of weeks of pregnancy. can be manipulated.

For example, reference numerals 110A and 110B in each diagram of FIG. 4 showing an embodiment, reference numeral 21E in each diagram of FIG. 10 (104a), or reference numeral 21ES in each upper right portion of FIGS. Corresponds to the "icon" of the instrument. The continuous display of icons in the center of the display screen in FIG. 4 (101a) and the display of 2 columns and 4 rows of icons in the upper right part of the display screen in FIG. It corresponds to the processing content. 4 (101b) (101bT) and FIG. 11 (104e), which are displayed in conjunction with the tap operation of each continuously displayed icon, correspond to the processing contents of the "reading processing unit" of the present means for solving the problem.

However, the "display in a row" of this solution means that at least a part of icons or a group of icons out of a plurality of icons are arranged or overlapped in a specific direction on the display screen and displayed continuously or interlocked. A scroll display that sequentially displays icons arranged in a direction by scrolling, a list enlargement/reduction display that enlarges or picks up and displays by selecting a group of icons displayed in a list, and the next/previous image is displayed by flipping the icons displayed overlaid. and an open page display in which the next page/previous page is displayed by a click operation on one side of the icons displayed on the left and right like an open page of a book.

Note that each icon display may include one or more types of fetal observation images or ancillary data together with corresponding date (date and time) data corresponding to one or more elapsed days or weeks of pregnancy. It may include only fetal observation images or only attached data.

When each icon display includes at least one or more fetal observation images, the aspect of the linking relationship between each icon display and the fetal observation image is such that one fetal observation image is associated with one gestational age. including multiple fetal observation images corresponding to one elapsed gestational age, or including multiple fetal observation images corresponding to one elapsed gestational week and included in the number of elapsed gestational weeks. may be in the form of

When each icon display is associated with a plurality of fetal observation images, by operating the operation button of one icon,
The reading processing unit reads out all the observed fetal images and/or attached data linked to the one icon, and among the read observed observed fetal images and/or attached data, those of the set specific type. may be continuously displayed in a selectable manner (scroll display/list display/picture diary display) together with the number of days of pregnancy or date information.

[3] In any one of the fetal observation and recording programs, information is displayed for each gestational age. i.e.
The memory processing unit stores related medical life information corresponding to each elapsed pregnancy days unit or pregnancy elapsed weeks unit or input information corresponding to the date (anniversary, date of separation) in the user's mobile information terminal or on the network can be stored in advance in the shared storage area of

(Main features and effects of this embodiment)
Ease of screen operation during echo image rendering and data editing Conventional ultrasound imaging systems are premised on the premise that all operations are performed by the sonographer, and there was the problem that they were inconvenient for the examinee to operate. .

Considering that the present invention is a use environment in which the examinee himself/herself operates the application, the pregnant woman can hold the echo probe with one hand and operate it with the other hand. It is characterized by Further, the application is characterized in that detailed operations can be performed with both hands when editing a recorded image or viewing data after image acquisition is completed.

Interlocking with Moving Images/Photographs/Audio Conventional recording media have the problem that they only have the function of recording images and adding comments about them.

In the present invention, in addition to record text input, other data that can be input on a personal terminal (video, photo, sound, drawing, pasting of arbitrary images, etc.) are linked (associated) with acquired data, so that "Pregnancy It is characterized in that it can be recorded as a diary. This includes videos, pictures, and voices of "the pregnant woman's own state during the echo" obtained at the same time as the image of the fetus is acquired.

In addition, by linking the same data from other terminals with the husband/family ID, the diary can be shared, thereby reducing the loneliness of pregnant women and enhancing family cooperation.

・Display format of the diary Each day with the number of weeks and days calculated from the expected date of delivery is written together, and each day is foldered with unique data and advice for each pregnancy day.
The display format can be selected from the up and down swipe method for smartphones and tablets, or the spread book type display. Also, as for the method of attaching original data, you can choose to store it in a folder or display it in a picture diary format.

It can be saved as electronic data, and at the same time, it is possible to output data using the editing function, and for those who wish, we also provide services such as bookbinding, calendaring, and photo frame creation for paper media.

・Illustration support ・Navigation By capturing a photograph of the position where the image was acquired last time, it has a function to guide the guideline of the probe position for the next scan. Also, when acquiring an image, scanning can be performed while confirming the previous image as a guide.

Interlocking with the shape and marks of the dedicated probe makes it easy to identify the midline, top and bottom, left and right on the terminal screen and to give operation instructions. Since the shape of the device fits the palm of the hand, current pen-type probes display and indicate points and lines, but it is possible to display and indicate the position with the image of the palm, which is a surface.

Instructions for device control are displayed on the screen based on the rendered image, and an optimum rendered image of the fetus can be obtained according to the instructions.

The image is automatically adjusted based on the drawn image, and an optimal drawn image of the fetus can be obtained.

Through chatbots and video distribution for members, it is possible to view explanations of equipment operation and rendering methods in text, voice, and video, and to ask questions.

[Modified example or developed example]
(Functions that can be developed and added)
(Function 1) Separate sub-application for husband/family ID (no echo image rendering function)
・Provision of pregnancy information specialized for husbands and family There was a problem that it was not possible to obtain the information that should be kept.

(Fig. 15) In the present invention, apart from the pregnant woman, pregnancy information and advice for each pregnancy day specific to the husband and family can be transmitted or viewed to the husband/family ID linked to the pregnant woman ID, and the family after childbirth can be viewed. In anticipation of formation, it effectively draws out support for pregnant women around them.

In addition, we will analyze data such as ID attributes, diary editing frequency, and pregnancy information viewing frequency, and change to individual advice that encourages pregnant woman ID, husband ID, and family ID to participate in joint editing and view pregnancy information. Encourage each family member to cooperate and be involved in the pregnancy.

・Collaborative editing of a diary using self-drawn echo images In the conventional pregnancy diary creation application, it is possible to jointly edit with the husband's ID, but it is not possible to paste the echo image of the fetus, or even if it is possible, the pregnant woman checkup at a medical institution Sometimes it is once every several weeks that the images are taken, so the total is about 10 or so times. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult for the husband and family members in particular to get a sense of the fetus, and the motivation to update or continue the daily record is low.
In the present invention, the motivation is to see the fetus every day through self-rendering echo images, and by collaborative editing of the diary ID-linked on the server, the child is continuously interested in and involved in the pregnancy throughout the entire pregnancy period of about 10 months. It can encourage behavioral changes in husbands and families.

(Function 2) Interlocking with SNS In the conventional pregnant woman information application, it is possible to exchange information in a community group (community between pregnant women/husbands) between user IDs limited to members or sub IDs with specific attributes. , cannot share and interact with self-portrayed echo images.

In the present invention, it is possible to provide an opportunity for information exchange using self-drawn echo images on a member-only SNS to those who wish to do so, while paying attention to the protection of personal information.

(Function 3) Mammary gland check during lactation and subsequent breast cancer self-check
Conventional breast self-check ultrasound equipment replaces breast cancer screening by transmitting echo images captured by fixing a huge device that covers the entire breast on a single breast and reading it by a specialist. I was not able to confirm the echo image on the spot while moving the imaging site by applying a small echo device to the place where it would be. In addition, the axillary lymph node is out of the imaging range, and lymph node metastasis, which greatly affects the prognosis, cannot be detected.

On the other hand, in the present invention, by adding an application that allows self-operation to check the condition of the mammary glands during the lactation period after childbirth, the same echo probe can be used continuously from the pregnancy period on the breast, and the small echo device can be operated by oneself to detect milk congestion. It will be possible to instantly confirm the location of the mammary glands that are prone to stagnation and mastitis and provide targeted mammary gland care.
During this period, you can get used to self-echo operation for breast check, and after that, you will be able to check breast cancer with self-echo operation for the rest of your life by installing a separate application, and you can also check for axillary lymph node metastasis.

(Function 4) [Pelvic floor muscle strength function check app]
Decreased pelvic yard muscle strength in women is caused by childbirth and aging, leading to urinary leakage and pelvic organ prolapse. In addition, changes in lifestyle have been shown to reduce pelvic floor muscle strength even among young, nulliparous women. Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles have been developed for the prevention and treatment of this problem. Kegel exercises have been used for a long time, and exercise support applications have been developed recently. Until now, there was no way to check whether women were able to exercise, and it was difficult for women to consciously continue exercising. In addition, there was no way for medical staff to check over time whether the instructed exercise was effective.
A self-operated ultrasound device allows women to check the contractility of their pelvic floor muscles by themselves, select an effective exercise method, and perform it while confirming its effects. Conversely, for women who are unable to exercise their pelvic floor muscles effectively despite guidance, medical professionals can decide to select other treatment methods (pessary therapy, surgical therapy, drug therapy, etc.).

(Image providing system)
The system may provide a photobook/electronic record/paper medium/calendar maker that edits fetal images for each category and creates an album/calendar. At this time, a moving image file may be automatically created in which a group of images of one fetus over a certain period are continuously displayed as a moving image display of a growth record. Alternatively, an icon image or a text entry type balloon image may be added as a decorative element.

Alternatively, the ultrasonic probe may be rented/leased from the data manager to the user.

In addition, simultaneous alarm distribution function after 32 weeks Example: Display an emergency button permanently on the home screen. The emergency button has the meaning of an emergency button, and by pressing it, an emergency alarm can be sent all at once to pre-registered related information terminals, and an automatic activation/activation button display of the set SNS can be displayed (FIG. 13). When the emergency display button is pressed, (1) a symptom confirmation guide, such as "Bleeding?, Pain?, Shortness of breath?, Fetal movement?" , or send real-time echo imaging images in cooperation with pre-registered medical institutions, connect chat or telephone communication lines, and connect echo image sharing lines to capture the situation according to echo imaging instructions. It may be possible to confirm between the patient and the medical institution.

Method of determining the level of effect by checking the effect with self-image echo: In the same posture such as supine position, do nothing and instruct the movement to contract only the pelvic floor muscles such as applying force to the anus. is self-imaged, and the size of the bladder is measured manually or automatically on the cross section. Comprehensive by level using three points as criteria: the average value of several measurements, the number of times the contraction was maintained for 3 seconds or longer, and the number of times the bladder did not deform caudally. Show verdict. These levels are divided into groups with different baselines, such as pregnant, symptomatic, asymptomatic premenopausal, and asymptomatic postmenopausal, and the determination thresholds are changed.
Timing: After obtaining the app, obtain the initial value before intervention, and then continue daily pelvic floor muscle strength exercises. Especially when used during training, it is possible to visualize whether or not the training is effectively contracting the pelvic floor muscles. In addition, the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise will be confirmed several months after the effects begin to appear.

2. Chronological record If there are subjective symptoms such as the above-mentioned comprehensive pelvic floor muscle strength judgment level, urinary leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, etc., self-evaluation of each item (such as VAS or pain scale with a face mark) Optional Display the pasted text graphically.
From the above, customized advice (recommended number of exercises, exercise method, etc.) will be delivered.
