[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a biological information management apparatus. According to the present invention, data management in which measurement time items and measurement data are accurately associated with each other is possible, and can be suitably used particularly for blood glucose level management.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, blood glucose levels need to be measured under various measurement conditions, and each measurement value and measurement condition must be managed in correspondence with each other. There are generally eight types of blood glucose level measurement items (before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch, before dinner, after dinner, at bedtime, and at midnight), and it is desirable that all of these items be measured.
In addition, patients (measurers) such as diabetes can accurately measure their blood glucose level over a long period for every measurement item or for several measurement items, and analyze the trend of changes in blood glucose level. Diagnosis becomes possible.
However, in the conventional blood sugar level management device, date management of measurement items may not be performed accurately. For example, the date management of the measurement time item is from 0:00 to 23:59, and when the actual measurement time exceeds 24:00 (0 hours) 00 minutes, the obtained measurement data is actually measured. It will be processed and managed as measurement data of the date that was performed. In this case, even if the measurer measures the blood glucose level along the measurement time item, the measurement time item that should be date-controlled does not necessarily match the measurement execution date. For example, considering the date management of blood glucose level data on July 1, when the item at the time of measurement is “after dinner” and the time of measurement is midnight on July 2, the next day, The blood glucose level measured as “after dinner” is to be managed as the blood glucose level of “after dinner” on July 1, but is managed as measurement data of “after dinner” on July 2. Therefore, if the next day (July 2) “after dinner” measurement item is measured at 8 pm on July 2, there will be two “after dinner” data on July 2. (Duplicate display) There was a problem that data after dinner on July 1 did not exist (data missing).

[0006]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of the blood sugar level management apparatus according to the present invention. The blood glucose level management device includes a CPU 31 that controls the entire apparatus, an input unit 32 that manually inputs a measurement value (blood glucose level) shown on the display unit 15 of the blood glucose meter reader 1, a menu of measurement items or an input A display means (for example, a liquid crystal display) 33 for displaying a blood glucose level or analyzed data, a graph, and the like, and a ROM 34 storing a control program executed by the CPU 31 are included. As the menu of measurement items, for example, before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch, before dinner, after dinner, at bedtime, at midnight, and the like are displayed.
The blood glucose level management apparatus further includes a RAM 35 used for the processing of the CPU 31 and the like. The RAM 35 stores, for example, the blood glucose level input for each date and for each measurement time item. Further, a time section 1 and a time section 2 associated with the measurement time item are stored. For example, time segment 1 is assigned from 00:00 to 23:59, and time segment 2 is assigned 11:59 on the next day from 12:00, which is 12 hours different from time segment 1. Further, for example, time category 1 is associated with the measurement item before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, and after lunch, and time category 2 is associated with measurement item before dinner, after dinner, at bedtime, and at midnight. It is associated with. The blood glucose level management apparatus further includes an EEPROM 36 in which an ID code for customer management is stored.
[0007]
Next, blood glucose level measurement will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
When measuring a blood glucose level, blood is collected first. First, a puncture needle is set at the distal end portion 21 of the puncture device 2. Next, the measurement chip is set on the chip mounting portion 12 of the reader 1 and the power button 11 is turned on. Then, it is confirmed that the reader 1 operates normally. After the puncture needle is applied to the fingertip at a right angle, the push button 22 of the puncture device 2 is pushed to puncture, and blood is ejected to the fingertip in the form of water drops.
The tip portion of the measurement chip attached to the reader 1 is brought into contact with blood so that the measurement chip absorbs blood. The reader 1 automatically starts measurement, and the measurement result is displayed on the display unit 15 after about 20 seconds. Then, the power button 11 is pressed again to turn off the power. Thus, the blood sugar level is measured. When the measurement is completed, the ejector 13 is slid to remove the measurement tip from the tip mounting portion 12.
[0008]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation processing procedure of the blood sugar level management apparatus. Here, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
When a power button (not shown) is pressed, measurement items (before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch, before dinner, after dinner, at bedtime, and at midnight) are displayed on the display unit 33 (FIG. 4). Step S1). The measurer (input person) touches and specifies a desired measurement item on the touch panel (step S2 in FIG. 4). For example, “after dinner” is selected.
[0009]
The CPU 31 selects and reads either the time segment 1 or the time segment 2 corresponding to the input measurement time item from the ROM 34. Since “after dinner” is selected here, time segment 2 is read (step S3 in FIG. 4). The measurer (input person) inputs blood glucose level data previously measured with the blood glucose meter (step S4 in FIG. 4), but the input time is actually 0:30 on the next day, for example. Shall.
The CPU 31 determines the date on the current day instead of the next day (step S5 in FIG. 4) based on the time section 2 and time information (date and time) at the time of input obtained by the clock means (not shown), and measures the current day. The item and blood glucose level data are stored in the RAM 35 (step S6 in FIG. 4).
In this way, even when the actual input time has entered the next day, the time segment is automatically selected appropriately by the simple selection operation of the measurement time item, and the data can be classified on the current day. .
[0010]
The CPU 31 displays, for example, a trend of blood glucose level data for one week or a 30-day trend based on blood glucose level data only before breakfast on the display unit 33 or a transmission device (not shown) according to the request of the measurer. Can be sent to the management center.
[0011]
In the above description, the case where two time segments are provided each having 24 hours is shown, but the method of setting the time segments is not limited to this, for example, only one time segment (time segment 1). However, it is also possible to set a time division for each measurement item. Even if only one time segment (time segment 1) is used, it is virtually impossible to measure across the date the next day before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, and after lunch. There is no problem on.
Further, in the above description, the blood glucose level measured by the blood glucose meter is manually input to the blood glucose level management device. However, the blood glucose meter is provided with a transmission unit, and the blood glucose level management device is automatically and wirelessly transmitted from this transmission unit. Can also be transmitted.
In the above description, the blood glucose meter and the blood glucose level management apparatus are different from each other, but an apparatus in which they are integrated can also be used.
Furthermore, although the blood glucose level has been described, other biological information values may be used.
[0012]
