Description

Method for remote pregnancy care using fetal heart rate measuring device and computer network}

The present invention relates to a remote pregnancy management method using a fetal heart rate measuring device and a computer communication network, especially when pregnant women transmit fetal heart rate data measured using a fetal heart rate measuring device to a remote pregnancy management server through a computer communication network remote pregnancy management The server relates to a remote pregnancy management method that provides a variety of useful information related to pregnancy with the advice of specialists using a computer communication network.

As a means of checking the health status of pregnant women and the fetus is used a variety of, the most commonly used is the fetal heart rate (fetal heart rate, hereinafter FHR). Clinically, baseline FHR, baseline variability, FHR accelerations, and FHR decelerations are important for diagnosing fetal health. It is an indicator.

The measurement of FHR and the diagnosis of fetal health condition through the FHR is usually performed during routine check-ups in pregnant women and clinics. Diagnosis through FHR in hospitals and clinics is performed by a doctor listening to the fetal heartbeat or recording the fetal heartbeat using a heart rate measuring device and then viewing and diagnosing the fetal heartbeat. In other words, in order to check the health status of pregnant women and the fetus, pregnant women should visit the doctor directly.

On the other hand, in addition to the medical fetal heart rate measuring device mainly used in hospitals, clinics, some devices have been developed to allow pregnant women to hear the heart of the fetus at home. However, such devices are mostly used to amplify the fetal heart sounds using a microphone so that pregnant women can hear, and the equipment for measuring fetal heartbeat in hospitals and clinics is different from using an ultrasound diagnostic device for precision. In other words, home devices that use microphones can hear the planting only after the fetus is fully grown, and it is impossible to make a clinical diagnosis using it, but only to function as prenatal or curiosity. Therefore, even in the case of using such equipment for home use, in order to accurately diagnose the fetal condition, the doctor should visit a doctor and a doctor to measure heart rate.

In view of this, it would be very convenient if the pregnant woman could obtain basic information about the pregnant woman and the fetus's health status remotely by using the fetal heartbeat without visiting the hospital and the clinic directly. For high-risk pregnant women, this would be very useful.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for remotely managing the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus using a computer communication network.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for a pregnant woman to continuously obtain basic information on the health status of the fetus without visiting the clinic directly.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a pregnant woman who wants to receive remote pregnancy management measures fetal heartbeat by using a fetal heartbeat measuring device, and accesses a fetal heartbeat data measured by accessing a pregnancy management server through a computer communication network. The doctor accesses the server through a computer communication network, reads and diagnoses the heartbeat data of the fetus, and transmits the diagnosis result to the server. Then, a pregnant woman who accesses the pregnancy management server again through the computer communication network may read the diagnosis result about the fetal heartbeat data measured and transmitted by her.

The pregnant woman may access the pregnancy management server using a computer system or a mobile phone.

When measuring fetal heartbeat data, it is desirable that the fetal heartbeat measurement equipment temporarily stores the measured fetal heartbeat data, and the fetal heartbeat data may be stored and transmitted along with the fetal heartbeat data to be provided for the doctor's diagnosis. have.

When transmitting the measured fetal heartbeat data, the fetal heartbeat measurement equipment is connected to the pregnant woman's computer system or mobile phone, so that the measured fetal heartbeat data is transmitted from the fetal heartbeat measurement equipment to the pregnant woman's computer system or mobile phone and then again It may be transmitted from the computer system or the mobile phone to the pregnancy management server.

Meanwhile, when transmitting the heartbeat data, it is preferable to show the measured fetal heartbeat data to the pregnant woman in the form of a graph.

When a doctor requests to view heart rate data for diagnosis, the average basic fetal heart rate, start time of diagnosis, end time of diagnosis, total analysis time, signal loss rate, standard deviation, average minute range, variability, transfer of fetal heart rate data Automated diagnostic parameters can be provided to the doctor, including one or more of the average basic heart rate, an increase in fetal heart rate, and a decrease in fetal heart rate, and one of the pregnant women's blood pressure, body temperature, weight, and illness It is preferable to transmit together the basic information of the pregnant woman and the questions of the pregnant woman including the above.

On the other hand, before the heart rate data transmission step, the pregnant woman further comprises the step of subscribing as a member of the pregnancy management service provided by the pregnancy management server, in this step, the pregnant woman is connected to the pregnancy management server and the pregnancy management service provided by the server Become a member of, and the operator of the pregnancy management server determines the doctor in charge of the pregnant woman and informs the pregnant woman, or the pregnant woman applies for membership to his or her personal diagnosis doctor, and the personal diagnosis doctor transmits to the pregnancy management server through the computer network. The pregnant woman can be registered as a member.

In addition, after the transmission of the diagnosis result, the diagnosis result may be informed to the pregnant woman by an e-mail or a short message of a mobile phone.

The remote pregnancy management method of the present invention may further include a step of viewing a previous diagnosis result by a doctor, wherein the previous diagnosis result is preferably provided to view all the previous diagnosis results of the pregnant woman in the form of a chart.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of a system for implementing a remote pregnancy management method according to the present invention.

A system for implementing a pregnancy management method according to the present invention includes a PCS (pregnancy care service) server 130 that provides a fetal heartbeat (FHR) diagnosis service, a computer system of a pregnant woman who wants to receive pregnancy management, and a pregnant woman. A doctor's computer system 150 that provides diagnostics for each other, which are connected to each other via a computer network connection channel 140, such as the Internet. Although not shown in the figure, the PCS server has a database for storing diagnosis request data, diagnosis result data, pregnant woman information, and the like.

The computer system 110 of the pregnant woman is connected to the home fetal heart rate measuring device 111 for measuring the fetal heartbeat. Although the fetal heart rate measurement device 111 is connected to the computer system 110 of the pregnant woman on the drawing, the home fetal heart rate measurement device 111 may be connected to or separated from the computer system 110 as necessary.

The home fetal heart rate measuring device 111 is a portable device using an ultrasonic Doppler method, which is small in size and can be easily carried. Unlike a fetal heart sound measuring device using a conventional microphone, the fetus may be diagnosed from the early stage of pregnancy at about 15 weeks of pregnancy. The heart rate can be measured, and the heart rate of the fetus can be measured precisely compared to a device using a microphone.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic structure of the domestic fetal heartbeat measuring equipment of the present invention. The home fetal heart rate measuring device transmits the fetal heart rate measuring unit 210 for measuring fetal heart rate, a memory 220 for storing the measured fetal heart rate data, and transmits the stored fetal heart rate data to an external device such as a pregnant woman's PC or a mobile phone. In order to intervene with an external device, an external interface 230 is provided. The fetal heartbeat measurement unit 210, the memory 220, and the external interface 230 are connected to the control unit 240 to control the heartbeat measurement, storage, and transmission process by the control unit 240. The amount of data that can be stored in the memory 220 of the home fetal heart rate measuring device is determined by the size of the memory 220, but a maximum of about 30 minutes is sufficient to diagnose the fetal health condition.

In addition, the home fetal heart rate measuring device is equipped with an event button provided to record event (gestational) data when the pregnant woman feels the gestation, and when the fetus is sleeping or has no movement, it is hard to measure heart rate data. It may be provided with an AS (acoustic stimulation) button to give the stimulation to measure the heart rate. In addition, a pregnant woman may be provided with a timer to display the date and time when the fetal heart rate was measured.

On the other hand, the pregnant woman may be connected to the PCS server of the present invention using a mobile phone 120 that can be connected to the Internet in addition to the computer system 110. Connection using a mobile phone is a method of accessing the Internet through a mobile phone terminal using a protocol such as a wireless application protocol (WAP). In this case, when the mobile phone terminal 120 requests a connection to the PCS server 130, The mobile phone network consisting of the base stations 170 may be connected to the Internet 140 through a network interworking device 160 such as a WAP gateway to access the PCS server 130. At this time, the home fetal heartbeat measurement equipment 121 is connected to the mobile phone 120 of the pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman's computer system 110 or mobile phone 120 and the doctor's computer system 150 may access the PCS server 110 via a computer network connection channel 140, which may be connected to the PCS server 110. It is desirable to be an open computer network, such as the Internet, intranet, for use by all consumers, who are unspecified. However, the computer network connection channel 140 is not limited to an open computer network. In particular, the doctor 150 may use a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) to connect a specific doctor in addition to an open communication network such as the Internet. It may be connected to the PCS server 110 through a closed network such as.

Now, the remote pregnancy management method provided by the present invention will be described in detail. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a pregnancy management method according to the present invention.

First, the pregnant woman describes the process of the pregnant woman measuring fetal heart rate data and transmitting it to the server.

The pregnant woman measures the fetal heartbeat using the home fetal heartbeat measurement equipment (S310). The measurement time of the heartbeat is within about 30 minutes and the measured result is once stored in a memory device in the fetal heartbeat measuring equipment. The stored contents include the number of FHR, the number of events, the FHR data (2 occurrences per second), and the event data (the data inserted after the simultaneous FHR data when the pregnant woman presses the event button when she feels the birth). When using an acoustic stimulation (AS) function for stimulating the fetus as necessary, the acoustic stimulation data may be further stored accordingly.

Next, the pregnant woman connects the fetal heart rate measuring device to a computer with Internet access, and accesses the PCS server using the user's web browser while the fetal heart rate measuring device is connected to the computer (S320). The fetal heart rate monitor is connected to the computer's serial port.

On the other hand, pregnant women who want to use the PCS services must be registered as a member of the PCS services. There are two ways to sign up. One is to sign up with the pregnant woman directly connected to the server, and the other is to sign up through the pregnant woman's personal doctor. 4A and 4B are flowcharts illustrating a process of registering a member according to each method.

First, a pregnant woman who wants to join according to the first method, as shown in FIG. 4A, accesses the PCS server (S410) and then applies for membership as a member (S420). Next, in order to receive the FHR diagnostic services, apply for FHR diagnostic services (S430). Only pregnant women who receive FHR diagnostic services may be enrolled as members, but FHR will be available to provide information about the mother's handbook or other pregnancy and parenting information, even if they do not have fetal heart rate measurement equipment or if they do not have FHR diagnostic services. It is desirable to have regular members who do not receive diagnostic services, and there is a separate step for applying for FHR diagnostic services to distinguish between regular members and members who use FHR diagnostic services. When applying for the FHR diagnosis service, the server determines the doctor in charge to inform the pregnant woman (S440) by completing the membership registration process.

Another method is to enroll as a member of the PCS service, not through the PCS service, but through a personal diagnostician who is being treated offline, as shown in FIG. 4B. In this case, the pregnant woman applies for subscription as a member of the PCS service to a general practitioner or a doctor of a hospital (S450). Then, the personal diagnostician connects to the PCS server (S460) and joins the pregnant woman who applied for membership as a member of the PCS service (S470). As such, the personal diagnostician can join a pregnant woman who is being treated as a member of the PCS service through the PCS service. In comparison, a doctor in charge of diagnosing a pregnant woman as a member through the PCS service cannot register a pregnant woman separately, and diagnoses a pregnant woman member through the PCS service.

If the user subscribes as a member of the PCS service, logs in after accessing the server, the diagnosis request (S330) may be performed. When the diagnostic request is selected, the measured signal from the fetal heartbeat measurement device is read and graphed for the user to view, and then transmitted to the PCS server.

In the request for diagnosis, a series of processes of transmitting fetal heartbeat data from the fetal heartbeat measurement device to the pregnant woman's computer, displaying the graphs, and transmitting the data to the PCS server is performed by a pregnant woman program distributed from the PCS server to the pregnant woman. The program for pregnant women provided according to the present invention is a program such as a plug-in that can be easily used as a part of a web browser, and the pregnant woman can be downloaded and used by accessing the PCS server and installed automatically without any special operation. You can do that. Once the program for pregnant women is installed, the program for pregnant women is started with the web browser so that the data transmission and display function can be performed through the web browser without executing a separate program.

Figure 5 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the program for pregnant women of the present invention. The program for pregnant women includes a fetal heart rate measuring device control module 510 for controlling data transmission from a fetal heart rate measuring device to a pregnant woman's computer, and a graph display module 520 for displaying the transmitted fetal heart rate data to a pregnant woman in the form of a graph. A calculation and diagnostic module 530 for calculating a diagnostic parameter that can be extracted from fetal heartbeat data such as an average heartbeat rate using fetal heartbeat data and a simple diagnosis using the fetal heartbeat data; Transmission control module 540 to transmit to.

6 and 7 illustrate examples of web pages provided to pregnant women during a diagnosis request process.

When the pregnant woman selects a diagnosis request, a scale for displaying a graph is displayed on the web browser as shown in FIG. 6 by the pregnant woman program of the present invention. When the pregnant woman connects the fetal heart rate measuring device and clicks the "read signal" button, fetal heart rate data stored in the fetal heart rate measuring device is transmitted to the pregnant woman's computer, which is displayed as a graph, as shown in FIG. The displayed graph can be scrolled in the direction of the time axis to see the entire graph. In addition, the calculated fetal heart rate data may be used to further calculate a basic fetal heart rate (baseline FHR) and the like, or compare it with a normal range and provide additional functions.

After reading the signal, click the "Transfer" button to transfer the heart rate data from the pregnant woman's computer to the PCS server.

In addition to the transmission of fetal heartbeat data, additional information, such as blood pressure, body temperature, weight, and illness of the pregnant woman, may also be filled out and transmitted. An example of a web page provided to a pregnant woman at this time is shown in FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 8, the pregnant woman is configured to input blood pressure, body temperature, weight, disease matter, and the like, which are basic information necessary for diagnosis. Blood pressure, body temperature, weight, etc. can be measured by using a separate device and input the contents, but if there is a measuring device that can measure blood pressure, body temperature, weight, etc. automatically and transmit the measurement results to a computer, The same measuring equipment can be used.

The transmitted diagnostic request data is stored in the database of the PCS server, and the pregnant woman may modify or delete the diagnostic request data before the doctor diagnoses.

That is, a pregnant woman may view a list of diagnosis requests registered by herself through a web page as shown in FIG. 9, select a corresponding item to view a diagnosis request content, or modify a diagnosis request for which a doctor has not made a diagnosis. You can also delete it.

Now, the data transmission for the diagnosis request of the pregnant woman is completed, the data waiting for diagnosis is stored in the database of the PCS server, the doctor can make a diagnosis.

Now, the procedure of remote diagnosis by a doctor using fetal heartbeat data stored in the PCS server will be described in detail.

The doctor also joins as a member to access the PCS server. There may be two types of doctor members: one is a member of the PCS department who specializes only in remote diagnosis of PCS services, and the other is a doctor who performs diagnosis and care directly for the pregnant woman offline. A member of a personal diagnosis who subscribes as a member of the PCS service to perform a remote diagnosis. As described above, a personal diagnostician may join her pregnant woman as a member of the PCS service and directly perform a remote diagnosis of her pregnant pregnant woman. On the other hand, PCS doctors cannot directly enroll pregnant women as members, but are responsible for diagnosing pregnant women who have applied for direct access to the server.

10 is an example of a diagnostic wait list web page provided to a physician after the physician has accessed the PCS server. Now, the doctor selects one of the diagnosis request lists and diagnoses it (S240).

If you select the diagnostic request to be diagnosed from the list, the corresponding fetal heartbeat data is transmitted from the PCS server to the doctor's computer, the fetal heartbeat graph is displayed as shown in FIG. 11A, and the automatic calculation using the fetal heartbeat data is performed to perform the automatic diagnosis parameter. Is provided to the physician as shown in FIG. 11B.

After the doctor selects a diagnostic request, a series of procedures for displaying graphs and automatic diagnostic parameters are automatically performed by a doctor program distributed to the doctor. Like the program for pregnant women, doctor programs can be downloaded and used from PCS servers, and they can be started with a web browser to automatically calculate parameters for data transmission, display, and diagnosis through a web browser without the need for a separate program. It allows you to do it.

12 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a pseudo program. The doctor program includes a transmission control module 1210 for controlling data transmission between the PCS server and the doctor's computer, a graph display module 1220 for displaying the transmitted fetal heartbeat data in the form of a graph through the doctor's computer, and diagnosis. An automatic diagnostic parameter calculation module 1030 for automatically calculating parameters relating to fetal heart rate data for the subject.

The graph of heart rate data provided to the doctor is basically similar to the graph of FIG. 7 provided to pregnant women, but more information is displayed on the graph (FIG. 11A). For example, a fetal heart rate increasing mark (▼), a fetal heart rate decreasing mark (▲), etc. are automatically displayed at the corresponding position on the graph.

Automated diagnostic parameters, which are automatically calculated based on heart rate data and provided to the physician, include, as shown in FIG. 11B, the mean base fetal heart rate, start time of analysis, end time of analysis, total analysis time, and signal loss rate. Loss of Signal, Standard Deviation, Mean Minute Range, Variability, Previous Pre-Mean Base Line FHR, Increase in Fetal Heart Rate (Acceleration 15sec-) 15peak) and the number of fetal heart rate (Deceleration 15sec-15peak).

Here, the signal loss rate refers to the signal loss in the analysis section, and the average minute range is a value obtained by obtaining the maximum / minimum value of the FHR for every one minute and averaging the difference over the entire analysis section (unit / minute). The variability is the average deviation of the FHR data for each minute from the start time of analysis, and then averaged again in total time (minutes) .The previous average base heart rate is the average base heart rate for the 10 minutes prior to the analysis interval. Say. The increase and decrease in fetal heart rate is calculated based on the change in fetal heart rate.Acceleration 15sec-15peak has a peak greater than 15 FHR greater than the average basic heart rate over 15 seconds and the mean in the interval is greater than the average basic heart rate. Deceleration 15sec-15peak has a peak that is 15 FHR or more lower than the average basic heart rate over 15 seconds, and the average in the section is 7.5 or more smaller than the average basic heart rate.

Diagnostic findings may be automatically selected by the physician program based on automatically calculated diagnostic parameters. The diagnostic findings are to select whether the basic heart rate is normal, archycardia or bradycardia, and whether the reduction in fetal heart rate (Normal, Early, Variable, Prolonged) is applicable. (Cardiac arrythmia) or increase in fetal heart rate (Acceleration 15sec-15peak).

Doctors perform diagnostics by viewing graphs of fetal heartbeat data and automatically extracted diagnostic parameters, which may maintain automatically selected diagnostic findings or change the findings according to the physician's findings. In addition, if necessary, the automatic diagnostic parameters may be recalculated from the graph, or a certain diagnostic range may be selected to calculate the automatic diagnostic parameters. It is also possible to move, add or delete the heart rate increase and decrease marks that are displayed automatically. After the diagnosis has been selected, write a comment to give to the pregnant woman and, if appropriate, answer the pregnant woman's question.

After the diagnosis is completed, the doctor transmits the diagnosis result to the server and registers it (S250).

In addition, the doctor may use the chart view function of the pregnant woman in charge in addition to the diagnosis for each diagnosis request. When the doctor selects the chart view function, as shown in FIG. 13, a chart of a pregnant woman in charge of the doctor appears, and when one of them is selected, a chart of the selected pregnant woman appears as shown in FIG. 14.

The overall diagnosis results are summarized in the chart of the pregnant woman, and as shown in FIG. 15, the FHR pattern measured according to the number of gestational weeks is displayed as a graph, and thus the contents of the overall diagnosis result can be understood. In FIG. 15, the portion indicated by the thick solid line represents the average FHR of the normal pregnant woman according to the gestational weeks, and the band shaded in the background represents the average FHR range of the normal pregnant woman of the corresponding week. The FHR of the pregnant woman measured at each diagnosis is shown as a dot on the figure. Therefore, it is easy to recognize that when the FHR indicated by a dot is outside the shaded band, it is outside the average FHR range of a normal pregnant woman.

If necessary, your doctor may send an email to your pregnant woman. For example, you can notify pregnant women by e-mail of specific notices, or send regular checkup reminders. In addition, the diagnosis results may be sent to the pregnant woman by e-mail. For this purpose, it is desirable for the PCS server to have a mail server capable of sending e-mail.

The pregnant woman who has registered the diagnosis request may access the PCS server again to read the diagnosis result of the diagnosis request (S260). 15 is an example of a diagnosis result web page that a pregnant woman can read. As shown in FIG. 15, the diagnosis result shows an average fetal heart rate (144.00), a diagnosis result (normal), an answer to a question, and the like.

On the other hand, as described above, the PCS service of the present invention can be used not only through a web browser of a computer but also by using a mobile phone. When using a mobile phone, access the PCS server through the Internet using a browser for Internet connection such as a wireless application protocol (WAP) browser of the mobile phone, and then use the PCS service in a similar manner to the connection using the web browser described above. Can be. However, at this time, the home fetal heart rate measuring device connects to the mobile phone and stores the fetal heart rate data stored in the fetal heart rate measuring device in the mobile phone and transmits the data back to the PCS server. If a pregnant woman using the PCS service has registered a mobile phone, the diagnosis result may be transmitted to the pregnant woman using a text message of the mobile phone. In this way, the pregnant woman can easily receive the diagnosis result through the mobile phone even if the pregnant woman does not access the PCS server again. Of course, the same member can use both a computer web browser connection and a mobile phone connection.

In addition, the PCS server may provide information related to pregnancy and parenting to a pregnant woman, or provide a program for managing a pregnant woman's health and pregnancy schedule or managing a history of a pregnant woman / fetus.

In the above-described embodiment, the calculation of the automatic diagnostic parameter is performed by the client program, but if necessary, the calculation may be performed by the PCS server, and the result may be transmitted to the doctor's computer for display.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, this embodiment has been presented for the purpose of understanding the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should be interpreted by the appended claims.

When using the pregnancy management method according to the present invention, even if the pregnant woman does not visit the hospital directly, even at home, travel and business trip fetal heart rate measurement equipment using the fetal heart rate directly, it is convenient to receive a remote diagnosis using it You can manage your pregnancy. In addition, if you are concerned about the well-being of the fetus can be useful as a screening (screening) method before visiting the hospital directly.
