Abstract

PURPOSE:To store and accumulate health data measured at homes and obtain an information system for health control equally giving consideration to past data. CONSTITUTION:CPU1 has a display 2, memory device 3, printer 4 and a write pen 5 or a keyboard 6 as an input device. The CPU1 is so designed to transfer/ receive data of a sphygmomanometer 8 and clinical thermometer 9 through a home bus 7. Any terminal not specified here can be connected to the home bus 7. By connection of various terminals, some other functions necessary as new media, home control, home information, home security, etc., or home terminal system can be selectively available in this CPU1.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical fields> The present invention relates to an in-home health information system.

<Prior Art> In many conventional household health devices, such as thermometers, weight scales, and blood pressure monitors, the measured values disappear at the time of measurement, making it difficult to accumulate information. Some devices, such as blood pressure monitors, can print out the measured values, but these only keep records and cannot be easily compared with past measured values to make comprehensive judgments.

<Object of the invention> The object of the invention is to store health data measured at home,
The goal is to provide an information system for health management that takes accumulated and past data into account.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 is an example of a system configuration of the present invention. A central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 1 is equipped with a display 2, a storage device 3, a printer 4, a light pen 5 or a keyboard 6 as an input device, and a home bus 7.
Data can be sent and received through the blood pressure monitor 8 and thermometer 9. It is also possible to connect terminals other than those listed here to this home bus 7.

In other words, new media can be created by connecting various terminals.

Other functions necessary for a so-called home terminal system, such as home control, home information, and home security, can also be selectively used in this CPU I. It goes without saying that it is also possible to exchange health data, etc. with this terminal and other terminals.

There is no problem in transferring it directly to CPU I without going through it.

The functions when using the light pen 5 in the system shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. A graphic display controller (hereinafter referred to as GDC) 10 is used for screen display and light pen processing. In this example, G
A μPD7220 manufactured by NEC ■ is used as the DCIO. The GDCIO detects the screen address input by light-bent touch, and the CPU 1 determines the input command based on the address.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) show flowcharts illustrating an example of the operation of this system. 3 to 7 show examples of selection screens at each stage.

It is assumed that the user's name and date of birth have been registered in advance using the keyboard 6 or the like before starting this system. <Step 0> When you start this system, the name input screen as shown in Figure 3 will be displayed. Enter your name using the light pen 5.
Enter. With this input, the CPU 1 prepares to display each person's past data.

<Step 4> Next, a guide screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, and the user selects either blood pressure measurement or body temperature measurement using the light pen 5. For example, when blood pressure measurement is selected, a procedure guidance screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. This explains on-screen how to operate each health equipment, and all you have to do is follow the steps shown on the screen. <Steps 5 to 7> After measuring the blood pressure, when the "diagnosis" key is touched with the light pen 5, the measured value is displayed in a large size on the display as shown in FIG. At the same time, the past 10 measurement data are displayed in a line graph along with the date. The standard blood pressure values for each age are also written on the graph, making it easy to compare them with your own measurements. <Steps 8 to 9> A detailed flowchart of step 9 is shown in FIG. 2(b). First, the measured values are taken into CP and UI. The measured value is then displayed at the top of the screen. Here, the pulse rate measured simultaneously by the blood pressure monitor 8 is also displayed.

Next, the standard value corresponding to the age calculated based on the date of birth is read out and displayed on the graph. These four dotted lines indicate the upper and lower limits of the standard values of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, respectively. Next, read past data and plot it in a line graph (repeat 10 times). Finally, the latest measured values are plotted on a graph to obtain an example screen as shown in FIG. <Steps 91 to 96 in FIG. 2(b)> When the "message" key is further touched with the light pen 5 on the screen shown in FIG. 6, a message is displayed as shown in FIG. 7. This message indicates that CPU I
The system compares the measured value of diastolic blood pressure with a certain standard value, determines whether there is a tendency for high blood pressure, normal blood pressure, or low blood pressure, and displays precautions accordingly.

FIG. 7 is an example of a screen in the case of high blood pressure. <Step 10
゜12-15〉 The measured value screen shown in Figure 6 and the message screen shown in Figure 7 are also provided with a ``copy'' key. You can also do that.

<Steps 10 and 11. +6・17> The operation is also the same when body temperature measurement is selected in Figure 3. <Steps 18 to 25, 16 and 17> As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the instruction manual for the health equipment is also displayed on the display 2, and the measured values are also written in large letters on the display 2, which has the advantage of being easy to handle and understand. be. Past data is also displayed, so you can clearly see trends and changes in your health status. An even simpler method
This allows you to always pay attention to your health in your daily life. Alternatively, these data can be shown to a doctor to assist in diagnosis.

In addition, if each health device such as blood pressure monitor 2 thermometer is provided with a key specified by the user, and only data is sent to the CPU I at the time of measurement, diagnostic results can be obtained later at any time.
It's even more convenient to use.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained in detail above, the present invention provides a useful health information system for health management that stores and accumulates health data measured at home and also takes past data into account. can.
