Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a blood pressure measurement device including blood pressure measurement means for measuring the blood pressure value of a subject.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Blood pressure measurement has been widely performed for the purpose of utilizing it for individual health management. As a blood pressure measuring device used for such a purpose, for example, the compression pressure of a cuff wrapped around a part of a living body is gently reduced at a predetermined speed, and a pulse-synchronized wave generated in this slowly decreasing process is used. There are known devices that measure blood pressure by a well-known oscillometric method based on changes in the amplitude of the. For example, it is an automatic blood pressure measuring device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-292660.

[0003]

[Issues to be solved by the device]

 However, since such blood pressure measuring devices are distributed and installed in various places so that individual health management can be performed, it is rare that there are appropriate counselors such as doctors on the spot. Even if an abnormal blood pressure value was measured, the subject could not immediately make an accurate judgment regarding his / her health condition. In addition, such blood pressure values were often neglected even if they were abnormal values. For example, even if the blood pressure measurement is performed in the same way, the effect differs between an employee at the head office who has an appropriate consultant such as a doctor, and an employee at other sales offices and factories.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to measure the measured blood pressure value centrally by, for example, a host computer used by an attending physician. Accordingly, it is to provide a blood pressure measurement device that can receive a proper instruction as appropriate.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A gist of a first device for achieving the above object is to provide a blood pressure measuring device including blood pressure measuring means for measuring a blood pressure value of a subject. , (A) abnormal blood pressure value judging means for judging whether or not the blood pressure value measured by the blood pressure measuring means corresponds to a predetermined abnormal blood pressure value set in advance, and (b) the abnormal blood pressure value judging means. And an abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means for sequentially transmitting the blood pressure value determined to correspond to the predetermined abnormal blood pressure value to the destination host computer through the communication line.

[0006]

[Effect of the first device] According to this configuration, among the blood pressure values measured by the blood pressure measuring means, the blood pressure value determined by the abnormal blood pressure value determining means to correspond to a preset predetermined abnormal blood pressure value is The abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means sequentially transmits the data to the destination host computer through the communication line. Therefore, the user of the destination host computer, for example, the doctor in charge of the person to be measured, or the doctor in the headquarters facility of the company, can centrally manage the abnormal blood pressure value in the person to be measured. Since it becomes possible, appropriate instructions can be given appropriately. As a result, a sufficient effect of blood pressure measurement can be obtained without a proper consultant such as a doctor at the place where the blood pressure measurement device is installed. In addition, the number of times of transmission is smaller than the method of transmitting the blood pressure value for each blood pressure measurement, so the cost required for the transmission procedure is low.

[0007]

[Other aspects of the first aspect of the invention] More preferably, (c) a magnetic card having an ID code for identifying the person to be measured is connected to the destination host computer stored in advance on the magnetic card. A magnetic card reading device for reading a calling code for calling, and (d) the abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means sequentially sends to the connected host computer based on the calling code. . In this way, the abnormal blood pressure value is always sent to the host computer specified based on the call code stored in advance on the magnetic card, so that the blood pressure measuring devices distributed in various places are Of these, the blood pressure value can be transmitted to a predetermined host computer regardless of which blood pressure measurement device is used. In addition, it is convenient because it is not necessary to connect the blood pressure measurement device to the destination host computer.

Preferably, (e) the blood pressure value storage means for sequentially storing the blood pressure values measured by the blood pressure measurement means is included, and (f) the abnormal blood pressure value transmission means is the abnormal blood pressure value determination means. The blood pressure value determined to correspond to a predetermined abnormal blood pressure value, together with the blood pressure value previously stored in the blood pressure value storage means, should be sequentially transmitted to the destination host computer through the communication line. Is characterized by. In this way, the blood pressure value determined to correspond to the predetermined abnormal blood pressure value and the blood pressure value stored so far are sequentially transmitted to the destination host computer. It is possible to compare with the blood pressure value stored up to now, and it becomes possible for the patient's doctor who is the user of the host computer to give more accurate instructions.

Further, preferably, (g) a time zone determination means for determining whether or not it is within a preset predetermined transmission time zone, and (h) a predetermined transmission time is determined by the time zone determination means. If it is determined that the blood pressure is within the inter-zone, the abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means sends the blood pressure value determined by the abnormal blood pressure value determining means to correspond to the predetermined abnormal blood pressure value to the destination via the communication circuit. It is characterized in that it is sequentially transmitted to the host computer. In this way, abnormal blood pressure values will be sent to the destination host computer all at once during the time when the communication charge is low (for example, at night), so the sending procedure can be made cheaper.

[0010]

A second aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a blood pressure measuring device including blood pressure measuring means for measuring a blood pressure value of a subject. , (A) blood pressure value storage means for sequentially storing the blood pressure values measured by the blood pressure measurement means, and (b) determining whether or not the blood pressure values sequentially stored in the blood pressure value storage means have reached a predetermined amount. When it is determined by the storage amount determining means and (c) the storage amount determining means that the blood pressure values sequentially stored in the blood pressure value storage means have reached a predetermined amount, the data is stored in the blood pressure value storage means. Blood pressure value transmitting means for transmitting the stored blood pressure value to the destination host computer through the communication line.

[0011]

[Effect of the second device] In this way, when the blood pressure value measured by the blood pressure measurement means and sequentially stored by the blood pressure value storage means is judged to have reached the predetermined amount by the memory amount judgment means, The data is transmitted to the destination host computer through the communication line by the blood pressure value transmission means. Therefore, a certain amount or more of blood pressure data of the subject is always centrally managed in the destination host computer, so that the user of the host computer, for example, the subject's doctor or the company's headquarters facility Doctors will be able to give appropriate instructions as appropriate. As a result, a sufficient effect of blood pressure measurement can be obtained even without a proper consultant such as a doctor at the place where the blood pressure measurement device is installed. Further, since there is no possibility that each blood pressure measuring device stores data of a blood pressure value of a predetermined amount or more, it is not necessary to provide a storage device having an unnecessarily large storage capacity, and the device becomes inexpensive. Furthermore, since the number of times of transmission is smaller than the method of transmitting the blood pressure value for each blood pressure measurement, the cost required for the transmission procedure is low.

Further, preferably, (d) a time zone determination means for determining whether or not it is within a preset predetermined transmission time zone, and (e) a predetermined transmission time period by the time zone determination means. When it is determined that the blood pressure is within the band, the blood pressure value transmission means transmits the blood pressure values sequentially stored in the blood pressure value storage means to the destination host computer through the communication line. It is characterized by In this way, the blood pressure value that has reached the predetermined amount is collectively transmitted to the destination host computer during the time period when the telephone charge is low (for example, at night), so that the cost required for the transmission procedure is reduced. It will be cheaper.

Preferably, (f) a calling code for connecting from a magnetic card having an ID code for identifying the person to be measured to the destination host computer previously stored in the magnetic card. And (g) the blood pressure value transmitting means transmits to the connected host computer based on the calling code. In this way, the blood pressure value that has reached the predetermined amount is always transmitted to the host computer specified based on the call code stored in advance in the magnetic card, and therefore, the blood pressure value is distributed and installed in various places. The blood pressure value can be transmitted to a predetermined host computer regardless of which blood pressure measurement device is used to measure the blood pressure. In addition, it is convenient because it is not necessary to connect the blood pressure measurement device to the destination host computer.

In the figure, the cuff 16 is connected to the pressure sensor 42, the exhaust control valve 44, and the air pump 46 via a pipe 48, and the belt 18 is provided in a cylindrical shape with the cuff 16 provided on the inner peripheral surface. One end is fixed and the other end is tightened by a drum 52 driven by a DC motor 50 with a speed reducer. The output signal of the pressure sensor 42 is discriminated by the bandpass filter 54, and the pulse wave signal SM which is the pressure signal of the cuff 16 generated in synchronization with the pulse is supplied to the A / D converter 58 of the arithmetic control circuit 56. The output signal of the pressure sensor 42 is discriminated by the low-pass filter 60, and the cuff pressure signal SK representing the static pressure of the cuff 16 is supplied to the A / D converter 58 of the arithmetic control circuit 56.

The arithmetic control circuit 56 is a so-called microcomputer including a CPU 62, a ROM 64, a RAM 66, an input interface circuit 68, an output interface circuit 70, and the like. The CPU 62 uses the temporary storage function of the RAM 66 and processes the input signal according to the procedure previously stored in the ROM 64 to output a drive signal, a display signal and the like. That is, when measuring the blood pressure, the CPU 62 drives the DC motor 50 with a speed reducer to wind the cuff 16 around the upper arm of the living body according to a predetermined procedure, and drives the air pump 46 to move the cuff 16 to the upper arm. Then, the exhaust control valve 44 is driven to gradually reduce the compression pressure of the cuff 16, and the blood pressure is measured by the oscillometric method on the basis of the pulse wave signal SM and the cuff pressure signal SK obtained in the gradual pressure reduction process. The value is determined, and the blood pressure value is displayed on the systolic blood pressure display 32 and the diastolic blood pressure display 34, and simultaneously stored in the blood pressure value storage area 72 of the storage device 71. The storage device 71 is composed of a well-known storage device such as a magnetic disk, a magnetic tape, a volatile semiconductor memory, or a non-volatile semiconductor memory.

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram for explaining a main part of the control function of the arithmetic control circuit 56. In the figure, a blood pressure measuring means 80 measures a blood pressure value and the like according to a well-known oscillometric method in a gradual pressure reduction process in which the compression pressure of the cuff 16 is gradually decreased. That is, the systolic blood pressure value SBP and the diastolic blood pressure value DBP of the subject are determined based on the change in the amplitude of the collected pulse wave signal SM, and the cuff pressure at the maximum amplitude of the pulse wave signal SM is the average blood pressure value. While being determined as MAP, the pulse rate HR is calculated based on the generation interval of the pulse wave signal SM.

The abnormal blood pressure value determining means 82 determines whether or not the blood pressure value or the like measured by the blood pressure measuring means 80 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal blood pressure value or the like set in advance. That is, the blood pressure value measured by the blood pressure measuring means 80 is, for example, that the systolic blood pressure value SBP is 170 mmHg or more or 90 mmHg or less, the diastolic blood pressure value DBP is 100 mmHg or more, or 45 mmHg or less, and the pulse rate. HR is 120 bpm or more, or 45 bpm or less, and the systolic blood pressure value S BP or the diastolic blood pressure value DBP changes 30 or more times twice continuously in the trend graph described later.

The abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means 84 communicates the maximum blood pressure value S BP, the minimum blood pressure value DBP, and the pulse rate HR, which are determined to be abnormal blood pressure values by the abnormal blood pressure value determining means 82, via the modem 73. 74 to the host computer 75 sequentially. The host computer 75 is a general-purpose personal computer, and the modem 76 is also provided on the host computer 75 side to receive a signal from the automatic blood pressure measurement device 8. Further, the communication line 74 referred to here is a line for data communication in a broad sense, and includes a telephone line and the like.

The blood pressure value storage means 85 is, for example, a storage device 71 or a magnetic card 78, and stores the maximum blood pressure value SBP, the minimum blood pressure value DBP, and the pulse rate HR measured by the blood pressure measurement means 80. Sequential storage with the corresponding measurement date and time. The storage amount determination means 86 determines whether or not the number of cases such as the systolic blood pressure value SBP sequentially stored in the blood pressure value storage means 85 has reached a predetermined amount, for example, 20 cases. The time zone determination means 87 is for determining whether or not the current time is within a predetermined transmission time zone set in advance, for example, a night discount time zone. The blood pressure value transmission means 88 sequentially transmits the maximum blood pressure value SBP, the minimum blood pressure value DBP, and the pulse rate HR stored in the blood pressure value storage means 85 to the host computer 75 via the communication line 74 via the modem 73. To do.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart for explaining a main part of the control operation of the arithmetic control circuit 56. In step SA1 (hereinafter, step is omitted) in the figure, it is determined whether or not the magnetic card 78 is inserted into the magnetic card insertion slot 28 of the magnetic card reading device 77. When the determination of SA1 is negative, this routine is ended, but when the determination of SA1 is affirmative, the ID code recorded in the magnetic card 78 in SA2 is read and stored in the magnetic card 78 in advance. The calling code of the destination host computer 75 is read from the magnetic card reader 77.

In subsequent SA 3, it is determined whether or not the read ID code is registered in advance in the storage area of the storage device 71. When the determination of SA3 is negative, SA10 described below is executed and the magnetic card 78 is sent out from the magnetic card insertion slot 28. However, if the determination in SA3 is affirmative, that is, if the ID code recorded in the magnetic card 78 has been registered, it is determined in subsequent SA4 whether or not the activation switch 22 for measuring blood pressure has been operated. It If this judgment is denied, it will wait until it is affirmed.

However, when the determination of SA4 is affirmative, the blood pressure measurement routine of SA5 corresponding to the blood pressure measurement means 80 is executed, and the systolic blood pressure value SBP, the diastolic blood pressure value DBP, the mean blood pressure value MBP, and the pulse rate. HR etc. are measured. In this blood pressure measurement routine, the cuff 16 is automatically increased in pressure according to a predetermined procedure, and the blood pressure value and the like are determined according to a well-known oscillometric method in the process of gradually decreasing the pressure of the cuff 16. That is, the systolic blood pressure value SBP and the diastolic blood pressure value DBP of the subject are determined based on the change in the amplitude of the collected pulse wave signal SM, and the cuff pressure at the maximum amplitude of the pulse wave signal SM is the average blood pressure value. While being determined as MAP, the pulse rate HR is calculated based on the generation interval of the pulse wave signal SM.

Subsequently, in SA 6, the measured systolic blood pressure value SAP, diastolic blood pressure value D AP, average blood pressure value MAP, pulse rate HR, and measurement date and time are stored in the blood pressure value storage area 72 of the storage device 71. At the same time, it is stored for each measured person, and is displayed on the systolic blood pressure display 32, the diastolic blood pressure display 34, and the pulse rate display 36, respectively.

Subsequently, in SA7 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value determining means 82, the blood pressure value measured in SA5 corresponding to the blood pressure measuring means 80 is, for example, a systolic blood pressure value SBP of 170 mmHg or more, or 90 mmHg or less. , The minimum blood pressure DBP is 100 mmHg or more, or 45 mmHg or less, the pulse rate HR is 120 bpm or more, or 45 bpm or less, and the maximum blood pressure value SBP or the minimum in the trend graph described later. It is determined whether or not any one of the following conditions: the blood pressure value DBP has changed 30 or more twice in a row.

When the determination in SA7 is affirmative, SA8 corresponding to the subsequent abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means 84 is executed. In SA8, as shown in FIG. 5, first in SB1, the systolic blood pressure value SBP, the diastolic blood pressure value DBP currently stored in the blood pressure value storage area 72 of the storage device 71 corresponding to the blood pressure value storage means 85, The pulse rate HR and the corresponding measurement date and time are read. Next, in SB2, the host computer 75 of the transmission destination is connected.

In subsequent SB3, it is determined whether or not a connection completion reply has been sent from the destination host computer 75. If this determination is negative, SB2 is repeated, but if this determination is affirmative, the connection has been completed, so at SB4, an abnormality occurs at SA7 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value determination means 82. The systolic blood pressure value SBP, the diastolic blood pressure value DBP, the pulse rate HR, and the measurement date / time determined to be the blood pressure value and the like, and the blood pressure value storage area 72 of the storage device 71 corresponding to the blood pressure value storage means 85 are currently stored. The highest blood pressure value SBP, the lowest blood pressure value DBP, the pulse rate HR, and the corresponding measurement date and time are transmitted to the host computer 75 via the communication line 74 via the modem 73.

However, if the determination in SA7 is negative, an abnormal blood pressure value or the like to be transmitted to the host computer 75 has not been measured, and therefore, by executing SA9, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the printer 28 outputs the display on the recording paper 90. That is, the name 92 of the measurement subject is displayed at the upper left position on the recording paper 90, and the measurement date / time, the blood pressure value, the pulse rate list 94, and the trend graph 96 are sequentially displayed below it. It In this trend graph 96, bar lines indicating the systolic blood pressure value SBP and the diastolic blood pressure value DBP at the upper and lower ends, respectively, and a triangle mark indicating the pulse rate HR are along the horizontal axis, that is, the time axis 98 in correspondence with the blood pressure measurement time point. Is displayed.

Subsequently, in the SA 10 corresponding to the storage amount determination means 86, the number of blood pressure values and the like sequentially stored in the blood pressure value storage area 72 of the storage device 71 corresponding to the blood pressure value storage means 85 is a predetermined amount. For example, it is determined whether or not the number has reached 20 or more. If this judgment is denied, SA13, which will be described later, is executed, but if this judgment is affirmed, in SA11 that follows, the current time is within the preset transmission time zone (so-called night discount time zone). It is determined whether or not it is in. If this determination is negative, SA13, which will be described later, is executed, but if this determination is affirmative, in SA12 that follows, all blood pressure values currently stored in the blood pressure value storage area 72 of the storage device 71 are determined. Etc. and the corresponding measurement date and time are transmitted to the host computer 75 via the communication line 74 via the modem 73. Then, in subsequent SA13, the magnetic card 78 is sent out from the magnetic card insertion slot 28.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the blood pressure value measured in SA5 corresponding to the blood pressure measuring means 80, that is, the maximum blood pressure value SBP, the minimum blood pressure value DBP, and the pulse rate HR. Among them, the blood pressure value determined to correspond to the predetermined abnormal blood pressure value set in advance in SA7 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value determination means 82 is communicated in SA8 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value transmission means 84 in communication. It is sequentially transmitted to the host computer 75 via the line 74. Therefore, the user of the host computer 75, for example, the doctor in charge of the person to be measured, the doctor in the head office facility of the company, or the like, particularly diagnoses the health of the person to be measured among the blood pressure values related to the person to be measured. Since it becomes possible to centrally manage abnormal blood pressure values that are useful when doing so, appropriate instructions can be given appropriately. As a result, the effect of blood pressure measurement can be sufficiently obtained even without a proper consultant such as a doctor at the place where the blood pressure measurement device is installed. Also, compared to the method of transmitting the blood pressure value for each blood pressure measurement, the number of times of transmission is small, so the cost of the transmission procedure is low.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the abnormal blood pressure value by SA8 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value transmission means 84 is always addressed to the host computer 75 which is specified based on the call code stored in advance in the magnetic card 78. The blood pressure may be measured by any of the blood pressure measuring devices 8 among the blood pressure measuring devices 8 that are distributed and installed in various places. In addition, it is convenient because the labor for connecting the blood pressure measuring device 8 to the destination host computer 75 can be omitted.

Further, according to this embodiment, the abnormal blood pressure value by SA8 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value transmitting means 84 and the blood pressure value measured in the past and sequentially stored together with the abnormal blood pressure value are sequentially transmitted to the destination host computer 75. Since it is transmitted, it becomes possible to compare the abnormal blood pressure value with the blood pressure value measured in the past, so that the subject doctor, who is the user of the host computer 75, can give a more accurate instruction. become.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the abnormal blood pressure values due to SA8 corresponding to the abnormal blood pressure value transmission means 84 are collectively sent to the host of the transmission destination at a low communication charge time zone (eg nighttime). Since it is sent to the computer, the sending procedure can be made cheaper.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when the blood pressure values measured by the blood pressure measuring means 80 and sequentially stored by the blood pressure value storage means 85 are determined by the storage amount determination means 86 to reach a predetermined amount. Is transmitted to the destination host computer 75 through the communication line 74 by the blood pressure value transmitting means 88. Therefore, the host computer 75 of the transmission destination always centralizes and manages a certain amount or more of the blood pressure value data of the measurement subject, and therefore the user of the host computer 75, for example, the measurement subject's doctor or the company. The doctors, etc. in the head office facility will be able to give appropriate instructions as appropriate. As a result, the effect of measuring blood pressure can be sufficiently obtained even if there is no appropriate consultant such as a doctor at the place where the blood pressure measuring device 8 is installed. Further, since there is no possibility of storing the data of the blood pressure value above a predetermined amount in each blood pressure measurement device 8, it is not necessary to provide the storage device 71 having an unnecessarily large storage capacity, and the device is inexpensive. Become. Furthermore, compared to the method of transmitting the blood pressure value for each blood pressure measurement, the number of times of transmission is smaller, so the cost required for the transmission procedure is lower.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the SA12 corresponding to the blood pressure value transmitting means 88 allows the blood pressure values that have reached a predetermined amount, for example, 20 or more, to be transmitted within a predetermined transmission time zone where the communication charge is low (for example, Since it is transmitted to the destination host computer 75 all at once at night, etc., the transmission procedure can be completed at a lower cost.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the blood pressure value that has reached a predetermined amount, for example, 20 or more by the SA 12 corresponding to the blood pressure value transmission means 88, is based on the call code stored in advance in the magnetic card 78. Since the data is always sent to the specified host computer 75, a predetermined host computer 75 can be used regardless of which blood pressure measuring device 8 is distributed among the blood pressure measuring devices 8. You can send the blood pressure value to. In addition, it is convenient because the labor for connecting the blood pressure measurement device 8 to the destination host computer 75 can be saved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, even if no abnormal blood pressure value is measured, the blood pressure value measured in the past and sequentially stored is determined by the SA 12 corresponding to the blood pressure value transmitting means 88 by a predetermined amount. For example, since the data is transmitted to the destination host computer 75 every time the number of times reaches 20, the host computer 75 of the destination always centrally manages a certain amount or more of blood pressure value data of the subject. Therefore, the attending physician of the subject can always monitor the health of the subject.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention can be applied to other modes.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the call code of the destination host computer 75 uses the call code stored in the magnetic card 78 in advance.
