6 is a flowchart illustrating a symptom control algorithm for a respiratory disease patient according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the risk management unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may provide additional medication information to the user by performing an algorithm for symptom control.

The risk management unit 220 may provide additional medication information so as to additionally use the drug based on the score calculated using the asthma control questionnaire information or the index calculated using the PEF measurement information (S610). For example, the risk management unit 220 calculates the score calculated using the score selected by the user for each ACQ-6 item corresponding to a preset score or higher, or using the PEF measurement information that the user inputs after measuring through the PEF meter. The number of additional administrations may be adjusted according to whether the calculated index corresponds to less than a preset index. As a specific example, the score calculated using the scores selected for each ACQ-6 item can be calculated by adding the scores selected by the user for each of the six items and dividing it by 6, which is the number of items. The index calculated using the PEF measurement information may be calculated by dividing the PEF measurement information measured by the user by the PEF reference information acquired by the patient information acquisition unit 210 and multiplying by 100. Also, the preset score may be 1.5, and the preset index may be 60%.

For example, the risk management unit 220 based on the sum of the value set using the score calculated as the ACQ-6 item, the value set using the index calculated as the PEF measurement information, and the value calculated using the factor information Additional medication information may be provided to additionally use the drug (S610). For example, the risk management unit 220 pre-sets the sum of a value set using the score calculated as the ACQ-6 item, a value set using the index calculated as the PEF measurement information, and a value calculated using the factor information. Additional medication information may be provided by comparing with the value (A) and changing the number of times of drug use according to the comparison result.

For example, the risk management unit 220 may set the set value to 1 when the score calculated using the asthma control questionnaire information corresponds to 1.5 or higher, and set the set value to 0 when the score is lower than 1.5. In addition, the risk management unit 220 may set the set value to 1 if the index calculated using the PEF measurement information is less than 60%, and set the set value to 0 if it is 60% or more.

The risk management unit 220 may calculate a value using factor information. For example, the risk management unit 220 may assign a weight to factor information including demographic information, smoking information, body mass information, house environment information, and environmental information, and calculate it as shown in Equation 1 below.

Here, a _i is a weighted average, and x _i corresponds to the index of each factor information.

For example, demographic information may include age, gender, occupational group, and residence, and smoking information may include current and past smoking status and amount of smoking. In addition, the house environment information may be cooking (number of times per week, ventilation fan usage history) and use of hairspray, and the environment information may be weather information such as fine dust, temperature, humidity, and UV concentration.

As another example, the risk management unit 220 may provide additional medication information so as to additionally use a drug based on the value calculated through Equation 2.

Here, Z _ACQ-6 (X ₁ ) is a set value using the score calculated with the ACQ-6 item, and Z _PEF (X ₂ ) corresponds to a set value using the index calculated with PEF measurement information.

If the risk management unit 220 determines that the score calculated using the asthma control questionnaire information is less than a preset score or the index calculated using the PEF measurement information corresponds to a preset index or more, the number of times the drug is used is added once. Additional medication information may be provided (S660). For example, the risk management unit 220 calculates the sum of the set value using the score calculated using the asthma control questionnaire information, the set value using the index calculated using the PEF measurement information, and the value calculated using the factor information in advance. If it is determined that the set value (A) or more corresponds, additional medication information may be provided so as to add the number of times the drug is used once. In addition, the risk management unit 220 may display on the screen or provide an alarm to add the number of uses of the drug once.

The risk management unit 220 may request additional medication confirmation after providing additional medication information for one use count of the drug (S670). In addition, the risk management unit 220 may receive confirmation of additional administration from the user (S680). For example, the risk management unit 220 may automatically send a push message confirming whether additional medication is taken after a certain period of time when the user inputs confirmation of additional medication. Alternatively, the risk management unit 220 may store and transmit to the server 100 when additional medication confirmation is input from the user. On the other hand, the risk management unit 220 may provide additional medication information again so as to add the number of times of use of the drug once if confirmation of additional medication is not input from the user.

If the risk management unit 220 determines that the score calculated using the asthma control questionnaire information corresponds to a preset score or more or the index calculated using the PEF measurement information corresponds to less than a preset index, the number of times the drug is used is added twice. Additional medication information may be provided (S620). For example, the risk management unit 220 calculates the sum of the set value using the score calculated using the asthma control questionnaire information, the set value using the index calculated using the PEF measurement information, and the value calculated using the factor information in advance. If it is determined that the value is less than the set value (A), additional medication information may be provided so as to add twice the number of times the drug is used. In addition, the risk management unit 220 may request confirmation of additional medication after providing additional medication information twice the number of times the drug is used (S630). For example, the risk management unit 220 may switch to an asthma control questionnaire information input screen when the user inputs additional medication confirmation.
