Description

A self-diagnostic system based on the Internet}

The present invention relates to a self-diagnosis system using the Internet, and more particularly, whether a patient with symptoms does not have a face-to-face interview with a doctor or not, or whether there is a possible symptom about a self-diagnosis through the Internet. It relates to a system for providing information so that information can be obtained.

In the conventional medical information system using the Internet, as in the case of a health gland operated by Medidas Co., Ltd., the medical information is unilaterally delivered. In such a conventional medical information system using the Internet, face-to-face treatment is not possible, and thus, the patient was not able to deliver specific information about his or her symptoms. It was impossible to observe carefully. In the case of an emergency patient, when the body is uncomfortable at night, it was very difficult to determine whether the symptoms were enough to go to the emergency room of the hospital or to just pass.

Therefore, the present invention can be easily accessed by the patient by solving the above problems of the conventional telemedicine system using the Internet, and all the questions about their health status with a single visit to the site where the system is constructed. It is to provide a system that can solve the problem.

In addition, when medical examinations such as overhauling are considered necessary, it is possible to access and make reservations by visiting a list of specialists or general hospital homepages in the area, and to find more suitable hospitals and clinics in a simple process. In addition, according to the system of the present invention, if a digital inspection equipment and a transmission system corresponding thereto are established, medical treatment can be completed without visiting a hospital or a hospital except for a serious disease, and especially in the reality of medical division of labor. The patient will be able to provide significant help in terms of time and money.

In order to achieve the above object, the self-diagnosis system of the present invention

CPU 110,

A questionnaire database consisting of records of medical departments, symptoms, questionnaires, symptom descriptions and check boxes;

A judgment result database which holds a judgment result made on the basis of the questionnaire database;

Network interface (160)

A self diagnostic subsystem comprising:

A medical information database that holds various medical-related information, such as various common diseases and child care,

A database of disease and clinics that holds detailed information on the homepage of each disease and clinics or the local practitioners.

As containing,

The self-diagnosis subsystem extracts the condition from the patient by presenting step-by-step questionnaires when the patient enters or selects the department and the symptom after access, and then presents a possible disease name for the patient's symptoms using the judgment result database. and,

The medical information database allows the patient who is presented with the name of the disease while holding the medical related information to extract detailed medical information about the name of the disease,

The Clinic and Clinic Information Database holds the name of the practitioner, the field of study, etc. of the clinic and the clinics, and allows the patient to select the appropriate doctor by searching for this information.

The system may further include a hospital / clinic link system configured to facilitate a patient identifying his or her suspected disease name to the specialist hospital.

Hereinafter, a self-diagnosis system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, which is a schematic block diagram of a system in which the present invention operates, the system of the present invention includes a CPU 110, a RAM 120, a ROM 130, an operating system 140, and a data storage device 150. ).

Conventional personal computers or workstations with sufficient memory and processing power and the like can be used in the self-diagnosis system of the present invention. In one embodiment, the self-diagnosis system operates as a web server that can process connections from clients and send and receive data. In order to operate as a web server, the CPU 110 is connected to the network interface 160. In general, network interface 160 acts as a web interface. The operating system 140 may be any one of driving the CPU 110, processing a job, managing a resource such as a storage device, and performing a function of a normal operating system such as job scheduling.

Among the components shown in Fig. 1, the core component of the present invention is a questionnaire database 152 having questionnaire data for questioning the symptoms of the patient, and a decision result database for determining the patient's symptoms according to the questionnaire results. 154, a data storage device 150 including a medical information database 156 that provides useful medical information to a client, and a hospital information database 158 that holds information about a specialist, and the like. The interrelationship between the databases stored in the data storage device and the operation flow thereof will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 3 below.

2 illustrates a record structure stored in the questionnaire database 152 of the self-diagnosis system of the present invention. The record of the questionnaire database 152 includes a medical field for selecting surgery, internal medicine, thoracic surgery, urology, etc., and a symptom field of a patient such as, for example, right upper abdominal pain. Fields with steps, questionnaire descriptions, symptom descriptions and check boxes are presented. Here, the steps and questionnaire content is to store the questions in order from basic questions to more specific information in order to determine the patient's condition. Subsequently, the patient checks a check box in the presented questionnaire content corresponding to his symptom content. The symptom description consists of one or more symptom descriptions for each stage, and the patient can select one or more symptom descriptions. When the patient has finished entering all of his symptoms, click on the "Decision" box. When the patient clicks on the "judgment" box, the patient's symptoms are then determined using the judgment result table of FIG.

Hereinafter, FIG. 3 illustrates a table for determining a suspected disease name based on an answer to the question of FIG. 2.

For example, in the questionnaire description of the "pattern of pain" in step 1 of FIG. 2, the item "B. Mostly sick", and in step 2, "A, C" is selected from the symptom description, and in step 3, " B "," A "in step 4," B "in step 5," B "in step 6 and" A, B "in step 7, are very likely to be hepatitis. . If it is determined that hepatitis, the client as a patient double-clicks "hepatitis" in the judgment field, the system extracts information about the "hepatitis" stored in the medical information database 156 and transmits to the client computer. The client, then a patient, can read information about the transmitted "hepatitis" and determine whether to visit the hospital. Here, optionally, the system may find a specialist having authority for hepatitis in the clinician information database 158 and display information of the hospital to which the specialist belongs, the medical treatment schedule of the specialist, and the like. If necessary, in conjunction with the web server of the hospital to which the specialist belongs, it may provide services such as medical appointments.

In the above description, the medical information database 156 is a database that holds various medical-related information such as various common diseases and parenting.

While the invention has been described above with reference to one embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

According to the present invention, it is possible to determine whether or not a symptomatic patient is a symptom of concern for auto-symptoms or a possible diagnosis without directly interviewing a doctor.
