Description

Application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act Published on the website in 2020

The present invention relates to a dialysis condition information sharing system, and particularly to a dialysis condition information sharing system for sharing dialysis condition information of a patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment in preparation for emergencies such as disasters.

Hemodialysis treatment is a type of blood purification therapy mainly performed for patients with renal failure. After removing waste products and water contained in the blood with a dialysis machine (dialyzer), the blood is pumped into the patient's body. This is a treatment that brings it back. Hemodialysis treatment is an alternative to excreting waste products and water accumulated in the blood as urine, and patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment need to perform this regularly. If patients who require hemodialysis treatment cannot receive hemodialysis treatment in a timely manner, waste products and fluids will accumulate in the blood, and in some cases, patients may develop uremia, heart failure, pulmonary edema, etc. There is a risk of it being stored away.

Hemodialysis treatment is typically performed at a primary care provider. Patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment regularly visit their family medical institution about three times a week to receive hemodialysis treatment. Information regarding each patient's condition, dialysis conditions, etc. according to each patient is managed by the family medical institution.

On the other hand, in an emergency such as a disaster or an accident, it is not always possible to receive hemodialysis treatment at a family medical institution. In particular, in the event of a disaster such as severe heavy rain or an earthquake, it is difficult to access a family medical institution, or there is a shortage of supplies at the family medical institution. It is fully assumed that there will be cases where the patient will not be able to receive the usual treatment. In preparation for such cases, it is recommended that patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment keep a record of the minimum dialysis conditions, such as dry weights and shunt puncture sites, in their memory or on a dialysis card. (For example, non-patent documents 1 to 3).

However, it is not easy for patients to remember specialized information such as dry weights and shunt puncture sites. On the other hand, it is also very time-consuming to write these items on the dialysis card. There is a wide variety of information regarding dialysis conditions, and dialysis conditions are usually reviewed once a month, so the dialysis card must be reviewed each time. On the other hand, for example, as shown in Non-Patent Document 4, a device is known that assists in issuing dialysis cards to staff of medical institutions. However, regularly issuing dialysis cards for all patients imposes a heavy burden on the staff of medical institutions. Dialysis cards also have the disadvantage of being easy to lose and being troublesome to carry around with you.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned prior art, and in one aspect, it is a dialysis system that allows patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment to share their dialysis condition information more easily and reliably. One of our challenges is to provide a condition information sharing system.

In the process of intensive research efforts to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors discovered that in recent years, most patients who visit medical institutions such as dialysis clinics to receive hemodialysis treatment do not leave their mobile terminals such as smartphones behind them. I noticed that I was carrying it around. If dialysis condition information can be recorded on a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, it will be much less likely to be lost compared to the conventional case where dialysis condition information is provided on paper or card media. It was thought that there would be no unnecessary effort in managing and carrying it.

However, how can information on dialysis conditions be provided to patients without imposing additional burden on patients and medical staff? More specifically, how can information on dialysis conditions be recorded on a patient's mobile device? The question remains as to whether this is possible. Therefore, as a result of further intensive research efforts, the present inventors have made it possible to display code information for acquiring dialysis condition information on a terminal device that comes into contact with nature when a patient comes to the hospital for hemodialysis treatment. We discovered that if patients can share dialysis condition information by having them read it on their mobile devices, the burden on medical staff can be reduced, and dialysis condition information can be shared without imposing an excessive burden on patients. , completed the invention.

In one aspect, the present invention is a dialysis treatment-related terminal used in connection with hemodialysis treatment, comprising:
means for obtaining patient identification information that identifies the patient;
The acquired patient identification information can be connected to a storage unit that stores patient identification information and dialysis condition information of the patient corresponding to the patient identification information in association with each other, and the dialysis condition information can be acquired at a user terminal owned by the patient. means for transmitting the code information formed in the code information to an information processing device capable of generating the code information;
means for acquiring, from the information processing device, a display screen including code information configured to enable acquisition of dialysis condition information for a patient corresponding to the transmitted patient identification information;
The above problem is solved by providing a dialysis treatment-related terminal that includes means for displaying the acquired display screen.

In one aspect, the present invention also provides an information processing method for sharing dialysis condition information of a patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment, comprising:
a patient identification information acquisition step of acquiring patient identification information that identifies the patient from a dialysis treatment related terminal;
a dialysis condition information acquisition step of acquiring dialysis condition information of a patient corresponding to the acquired patient identification information from a storage unit that stores patient identification information and dialysis condition information of a patient corresponding to the patient identification information;

The above problem is solved by providing an information processing method including a code information output step of outputting a display screen including the generated code information to the dialysis treatment related terminal.

According to the dialysis condition information sharing system, information processing device, dialysis treatment related terminal, and/or information processing method according to one aspect of the present invention, a patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment can use the user terminal that he or she uses to By reading the code information included in the display screen displayed on the dialysis treatment-related terminal used in connection with hemodialysis treatment, dialysis condition information can be acquired and saved in the user terminal. A wide variety of dialysis condition information can be recorded much more easily and accurately than when recording information on a dialysis card by oneself. Moreover, since dialysis condition information is stored on user terminals, more specifically on mobile terminals such as smartphones, it is far less likely to be lost than when provided on paper or card media, and is easier to manage. The advantage is that it does not require much effort. On the other hand, it is also very convenient for medical staff because it saves them the trouble of issuing a dialysis card containing dialysis condition information for each patient. As described above, the information processing device and the dialysis treatment-related terminal according to one aspect of the present invention are revolutionary devices that bring great benefits to both medical staff and patients.

Note that the term "dialysis treatment-related terminal" means a terminal device used in connection with hemodialysis treatment. Dialysis treatment-related terminals include, for example, reception terminals at medical institutions that perform hemodialysis treatment; connections to weight scales, blood pressure monitors, pulse meters, dialysis machines, etc. for measuring pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight; terminal devices; bedside terminals provided at the bedside where hemodialysis treatment is performed, staff terminals for medical staff, etc., but are not limited thereto. In the process of a patient receiving hemodialysis treatment, a display screen containing code information formed to enable acquisition of dialysis condition information is displayed on one or more of these terminal devices that are in contact with nature. This is very convenient because it allows patients to obtain dialysis condition information without being forced to put any extra burden on them.

For example, in one preferred embodiment, the dialysis treatment-related terminal may be a scale-connected terminal connected to a scale for measuring pre-dialysis body weight and/or post-dialysis body weight. In hemodialysis treatment, the patient's weight is usually measured before and after dialysis in order to confirm daily weight management and to use as a guideline for the amount of water removed. It can be said that this is a terminal device that patients who come for treatment will almost certainly come into contact with. A display screen containing code information configured to enable acquisition of patient's dialysis condition information is displayed on the display section of a scale connection terminal connected to a scale for measuring pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight. In cases where patients come for hemodialysis treatment, when measuring their pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight, they must input the code information included in the display screen displayed on the scale-connected terminal. Since it is only necessary to read it on the user terminal, the dialysis condition information can be acquired in a natural flow. In particular, as shown in the Examples below, when the code information is displayed together with the procedure, instructions and/or measurement results for measuring pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight, the patient can: Dialysis condition information can be acquired very naturally without the need to view an extra display screen for acquiring dialysis condition information.

Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the dialysis treatment-related terminal may be a bedside terminal provided at the bedside where hemodialysis treatment is performed. The time required for hemodialysis treatment at a medical institution is usually about 3 to 5 hours, and the patient spends most of this time in the hemodialysis treatment bed. Therefore, it can be said that the bedside terminal provided at the patient's bedside is the terminal device that a patient visiting for hemodialysis treatment almost certainly comes in contact with for the longest time. If a display screen containing code information configured to enable acquisition of patient's dialysis condition information is displayed on the display section of the bedside terminal, the patient visiting for hemodialysis treatment may Therefore, all you need to do is find a suitable time and read the code information included in the display screen displayed on the display of the bedside terminal with your own user terminal, so you can easily adjust the dialysis conditions in a natural flow and without wasting time. information can be obtained.

Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the dialysis treatment-related terminal may be a staff terminal used by medical staff. In dialysis rooms where patients undergo hemodialysis treatment, medical staff such as nurses and assistant nurses are often in charge of preparing for dialysis, observing the condition of patients undergoing dialysis, and providing care. In one preferred aspect, the terminal device on which the display screen containing the code information formed to be able to acquire the dialysis condition information is displayed is a staff terminal used by medical staff, more specifically, a terminal device used by medical staff in a dialysis room. It may also be a staff terminal used. When a display screen containing code information configured to enable acquisition of dialysis condition information is displayed on the display section of the staff terminal, the medical staff can, for example, Since the display screen including the code information can be shown to the patient at an appropriate timing and the patient can be asked to acquire the dialysis condition information, the dialysis condition information can be shared more reliably. For example, leaving the acquisition of dialysis condition information to the patient is extremely convenient when there is a concern that the patient may forget to acquire the dialysis condition information.

The "code information" that may be included in the display screen displayed on the dialysis treatment-related terminal may be any form of code information as long as the necessary dialysis condition information can be obtained based on the code information. For example, it may be a two-dimensional code. The two-dimensional code may be a stack type two-dimensional code or a matrix type two-dimensional code. Examples of stacked two-dimensional codes include, but are not limited to, PDF417, Micro PDF417, Code49, Code16K, and the like. Examples of matrix-type two-dimensional codes include, but are not limited to, QR Code, Micro QR Code, Veri Code, DataMatrix Code, Maxi Code, Code 1, and Aztec Code. When the code information is in these forms, the code information can be read using a terminal device such as a mobile phone, smart phone, or tablet that has a camera function.

Note that any type of information may be coded in the code information as long as the user terminal that has acquired the code information can acquire necessary dialysis condition information based on the code information. For example, the dialysis condition information may be directly encoded as character data, or a URL from which the dialysis condition information can be obtained may be encoded. Further, this information may be encrypted using an appropriate method, for example, it may be encrypted in association with an encryption key set for each patient and/or each medical institution. If the dialysis condition information is encoded as character data, there is no need to generate a URL for retrieving the dialysis condition information each time, and even if the patient's user terminal is unable to access the Internet, dialysis This has the advantage that condition information can be shared.

On the other hand, "dialysis condition information" means information necessary for setting conditions for hemodialysis. For example, dry weight; cardiothoracic ratio; number of dialysis sessions per given period; dialysis methods such as hemodialysis (HD), hemodiafiltration (HDF), and peritoneal dialysis (PD); dialysis time; water removal time; water removal rate ; Amount of water removed; Type of dialyzer; Type of blood access; Puncture site; Type of dialysate; Flow rate of dialysate; Temperature of dialysate; Type of fluid replacement; Temperature of fluid replacement; Fluid replacement time; Fluid replacement rate; Fluid replacement amount; Syringe pump speed; type of anticoagulant; dosage of anticoagulant (one shot/continuous dose); type of puncture needle (arterial puncture needle/venous puncture needle); blood pressure; pulse rate; oxygen dosage; It may be of different types, but is not limited to these.

Further, in a preferred embodiment, in addition to the dialysis condition information, information that assists in performing hemodialysis (hereinafter also referred to as "dialysis assistance information") may be further shared. . Specific examples of dialysis support information may include, for example, presence or absence of allergies; presence or absence of infectious diseases; blood type; transportation means; insurance type; care/certification level; patient name, age, gender, date of birth, etc. However, it is not limited to these. Any information other than those described above may be provided as long as it is considered necessary for smooth implementation of hemodialysis.

The dialysis condition information sharing system according to one aspect of the present invention allows the above-described dialysis condition information, etc. to be shared by reading code information included in a display screen output to a dialysis treatment-related terminal on a user terminal owned by a patient. It is characterized by the fact that it is acquired. In other words, the user terminal included in the dialysis condition information sharing system according to one aspect of the present invention includes means for reading code information included in the display screen displayed on the dialysis treatment-related terminal.

In a preferred aspect, the user terminal included in the dialysis condition information sharing system according to one aspect of the present invention may further include means for storing dialysis condition information acquired based on the read code information. Here, the dialysis condition information is preferably stored in a storage unit included in the user terminal. When the acquired dialysis condition information is stored in the storage section of the user terminal, there is an advantage that the patient can view the acquired dialysis condition information even offline. If the dialysis condition information once acquired can be viewed offline, even if access to the Internet is limited, the dialysis condition information stored on the user terminal can be viewed at any time, especially during disasters. This is extremely advantageous.

On the other hand, in one preferred embodiment, the dialysis condition information is preferably stored in the user terminal in association with the acquisition date. As mentioned above, dialysis condition information is usually reviewed once a month, so patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment must record new dialysis condition information every time the dialysis condition information is updated. . If the dialysis condition information and its date of acquisition are stored in the user terminal in association with each other, the patient can check when the dialysis condition information was acquired, so the patient can update the dialysis condition information at an appropriate timing. It is also possible to prevent forgetting to update.

There is no particular restriction on the specific configuration for storing dialysis condition information and its acquisition date in association with each other. For example, the code information generated by the information processing device may be added to the dialysis condition information and the acquisition date may be acquired as code information, or the code information may be acquired based on the read code information at the user terminal. The dialysis condition information and the acquisition date may be stored in association with each other. Those skilled in the art can adopt an appropriate configuration and store the dialysis condition information and the acquisition date in association with each other.

In still another aspect, the present invention provides a computer program for causing a computer to function as any one of an information processing device, a dialysis treatment-related terminal, and/or a user terminal included in the above-mentioned dialysis condition information sharing system. By providing this, the above problem is solved.

According to the present invention, dialysis condition information of a patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment can be shared more easily and reliably.

It includes a user terminal T4 owned by the patient P1. The information processing device S1, the weight scale connection terminal T1, the bedside terminal T2, and the staff terminal T3 are terminal devices managed by a medical institution, and are connected via a network N. On the other hand, the user terminal T4 is a mobile terminal owned by an individual patient, and the network N does not have access authority.

<Information processing device>
The information processing device S1 is a server device, and is communicably connected to dialysis treatment-related terminals (in this example, a weight scale connection terminal T1, a bedside terminal T2, and a staff terminal T3) via a network N. The information processing device S1 acquires patient identification information for identifying a patient from a dialysis treatment related terminal, generates code information configured to be able to acquire dialysis condition information, etc. for the patient corresponding to the patient identification information, The information processing device outputs a display screen including the code information to the dialysis treatment related terminal. That is, the information processing device S1 includes a means for acquiring patient identification information for identifying a patient from a dialysis treatment-related terminal, and code information formed to be able to acquire dialysis condition information, etc. for a patient corresponding to the acquired patient identification information. and means for outputting a display screen containing the generated code information to the dialysis treatment related terminal.

The information processing device S1 functionally includes a storage section S11, a communication section S12, and a control section S13 (not shown).

In this example, the storage unit S11 stores patient identification information and patient dialysis condition information corresponding to the patient identification information in association with each other. FIG. 2 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit S11 of the information processing device S1. As shown in FIG. 2, the storage unit S11 of the information processing device S1 stores a patient ID as patient identification information for identifying a patient, and dialysis condition information as dry weight, number of times per week, treatment method, dialysis time, dialyzer, dialysis Fluid, dialysate flow rate, anticoagulant, one shot, continuous volume, blood volume, blood access, etc. are memorized. In this example, the dialysis condition information stored in the storage unit S11 for the patient identified by the patient ID "0001" includes dry weight "60.0 kg", number of times per week "3 times", and treatment method "HD". ”, dialysis time “4.2 hours”, dialyzer “ABH-15P”, dialysate “Kindaly Dialysis Agent 4E”, dialysate flow rate “500 mL/min”, anticoagulant “Heparin Na Injection 250 units/ml”, One The shot is ``4ml'', the continuous amount is ``3ml/h'', the blood flow is ``160ml/min'', and the blood access is ``shunt (right)''.

In this example, in addition to the dialysis condition information, the storage unit S11 of the information processing device S1 also contains various information regarding hemodialysis of each patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment, such as past pre-dialysis weight, post-dialysis weight, etc. Weight, blood pressure, pulse rate, nursing records, drug history information, etc. are stored in association with patient identification information for identifying the patient. The weight scale connection terminal T1, the bedside terminal T2, and the staff terminal T3 can access the storage section S11 as appropriate to read and write this information.

The storage unit S11 may basically be of any type as long as it can store necessary information, and may be a volatile memory or a nonvolatile memory, but Preferably, it is a non-volatile memory. The storage unit S11 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a cache memory, a buffer memory, etc., but is not limited to these. Further, in this example, the storage unit S11 is a storage unit included in the information processing device S1, but the storage unit S11 does not necessarily have to be a storage unit included in the information processing device S1, and the information processing device S1 is connected at any time. The storage device may be one or more storage devices existing independently of the information processing device S1, or a part thereof, as long as at least data can be read. Furthermore, if there is a server device to which the information processing device S1 can be connected, part or all of its storage unit may be used as the storage unit S11. Such server devices and/or storage devices include, for example, databases, storage devices, and the like.

On the other hand, the communication unit S12 is a means for transmitting or receiving various information via an appropriate network, which includes, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) card, a network card, and the like. In this example, the communication section S12 functionally includes a transmitting section S12a that transmits data and a receiving section S12b that receives data via the network N. For example, the information processing device S1 displays a display screen containing code information configured to be able to acquire dialysis condition information and the like to the weight scale connection terminal T1, the bedside terminal T2, and the staff terminal T3 via the transmitter S12a. Send data. Further, data such as patient identification information for identifying a patient is received from the weight scale connection terminal T1, the bedside terminal T2, and the staff terminal T3 via the receiving unit S12b.

The control unit S13 includes, for example, one or more CPUs (Central Processing Units), MPUs (Micro Processing Units), GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), ROMs (Read Only Memory), and RAs. Including M (Ramdom Access Memory) etc. It is a control means that controls each part of the information processing device S1. The control unit S13 appropriately reads programs stored in the storage unit S11 and the like and executes various processes. For example, the information processing device S1 generates code information configured to be able to acquire the dialysis condition information based on the acquired dialysis condition information, etc., and outputs a display screen including the generated code information to a dialysis treatment related terminal. .

Note that it goes without saying that the information processing device S1 may include configurations other than these. For example, it may include a display unit such as a display, an input unit such as a keyboard, and the like. Further, the information processing device S1 may be physically one information processing device, or may be a plurality of information processing devices. Further, in this example, the information processing device S1 is managed by a medical institution, but it may be managed by a management company.

<Dialysis treatment related terminals>
On the other hand, the dialysis condition information sharing system 100 according to the first embodiment includes a weight scale connection terminal T1, a bedside terminal T2, and a staff terminal T3 as dialysis treatment related terminals. These dialysis treatment-related terminals are all terminal devices used in connection with hemodialysis treatment, and are equipped with means for acquiring patient identification information for identifying a patient. The dialysis treatment-related terminal is configured to transmit the acquired patient identification information to the information processing device S1, and to obtain dialysis condition information, etc. for the patient corresponding to the transmitted patient identification information from the information processing device S1. Receive a display screen containing code information. The received display screen is displayed on the display section of the dialysis treatment related terminal.

First, the weight scale connection terminal T1 will be explained. The weight scale connection terminal T1 is a terminal device that is connected to a weight scale, which is a measuring device for mainly measuring the pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight of a patient undergoing hemodialysis treatment. In this example, the weight scale connection terminal T1 functionally includes an acquisition section T11, a communication section T12, a display section T13, a control section T14, and a storage section T15.

The acquisition unit T11 is a means for acquiring patient identification information for identifying a patient, and is an IC card reader in this example. The acquisition unit T11 does not necessarily need to be an IC card reader, and may basically be any type of device as long as it can acquire patient identification information for identifying a patient. For example, it may be a barcode reader, a camera, a microphone, a touch panel with a fingerprint authentication function, etc., but is not limited to these. For example, the patient identification information may be acquired by the patient or the staff of the medical institution inputting the patient identification information on the patient identification information input screen displayed on the display section T13.

The patient identification information for identifying a patient can basically be any information as long as it can identify an individual patient, but for example, patient ID, patient name, patient name and year of birth. It may be the month and day, a transmitter ID assigned to an individual patient, biometric information, or a combination thereof. The biometric information may include, for example, biometric information obtained from a patient's fingerprint, iris, voice print, face, etc. This patient identification information can be obtained, for example, from an information medium owned by the patient. By acquiring patient identification information from an information medium owned by the patient, the risk of using incorrect patient identification information and acquiring dialysis condition information for a different patient is reduced. Incidentally, the information medium possessed by the patient may be, for example, an IC card, IC chip, barcode, two-dimensional barcode, beacon, etc., but in addition to these, it may also include the patient's fingerprint, iris, voiceprint, face, etc. It can be done.

The communication unit T12 is a means for transmitting or receiving various information, which includes, for example, a LAN card, a network card, a serial port, etc. A transmitting unit T12a that transmits data such as patient identification information to S1, and a receiving unit T12b that receives data such as a display screen including code information formed to be able to acquire dialysis condition information from the information processing device S1, In addition, it functionally includes a receiving unit T12c that receives a weight measurement value from a weight scale via an RS-232C connection.

The display unit T13 is, for example, a means for displaying a display screen including a liquid crystal monitor, an organic EL display, etc., and including various information such as code information formed to be able to obtain dialysis condition information. Note that the various information and display screen displayed on the display section T13 can be outputted from the information processing device S1 in any format that can be displayed on the display section T13. A display screen including procedures and instructions for measuring pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight is displayed on the display section T13 of the weight scale connection terminal T1, and a display screen including procedures and instructions for measuring the pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight is displayed. support. In addition, when a display screen including, for example, the weight at the time of the previous hemodialysis treatment, dry weight, etc. is displayed on the display unit T13 of the scale connection terminal T1, along with the measured pre-dialysis weight and/or post-dialysis weight. This is very convenient because it allows patients to easily understand their own weight management status and to know the approximate amount of water removal. The code information formed so that the dialysis condition information can be obtained may be displayed on any of such display screens.

The control unit T14 is configured to include, for example, one or more CPUs, MPUs, GPUs, ROMs, RAMs, etc., and is a control means that controls each unit of the scale connection terminal T1. The control unit T14 appropriately reads programs and the like stored in the storage unit T15 and the like and executes various processes. For example, a display screen containing code information formed to be capable of transmitting patient identification information for identifying a patient acquired by the acquisition unit T11 to the information processing device S1, and acquiring dialysis condition information received from the information processing device S1. is displayed on the display section T13.

The storage unit T15 is basically the same as that described for the storage unit S11, so the explanation will be omitted for the sake of brevity.

Note that the weight scale connection terminal T1 may have a configuration other than that described above. Furthermore, the weight scale connection terminal T1 may be managed by a medical institution or by a management company.

On the other hand, the bedside terminal T2 is placed at the bedside of a patient receiving hemodialysis treatment, and during dialysis, the patient and medical staff can check vital signs and the progress of dialysis, and the patient can browse TV or the Internet.
