Description

Health care service providing system managing body information and customized prescription information through network

The present invention relates to a health care system, and more specifically, to store user's body information using a health care server shared by a plurality of users through a network such as the Internet, and user-specific prescription using the body information The present invention relates to a healthcare service providing system that enables users to manage their health at any place by providing information.

In general, modern people lack the momentum compared to the past. In particular, due to the development of computer technology, modern people often live in front of a computer, and the amount of exercise is absolutely insufficient except for simple repetitive movements such as mouse manipulation or keyboard manipulation. In addition, with the rapid spread of the Internet, the time spent in front of modern computers is increasing. Therefore, in recent years, interest in health has been increasing in comparison with the related art. In response to this concern, a number of athletic and measuring instruments have been developed and distributed.

However, due to the simplicity of the operation mechanism of the conventional exercise equipment, the user may get tired of using it several times, and in many cases, the exercise equipment that pays no more cost is not used. In particular, unlike the use of an affiliated health care center in a health club or a large hospital that provides ongoing health care costs, the frequency and amount of use of the exercise equipment at a single high cost is entirely up to the user. It depends on the will. Therefore, a large number of users have left their health deteriorated without using exercise equipment efficiently. As described above, the conventional exercise equipments are designed to repeat a simple operation at a suitable load state in a narrow space, and do not cause strong motivation to continuously exercise, which is a disadvantage of the conventional exercise equipments.

In addition, a disadvantage of the conventional measuring instrument is that even if the user measures the body information, such a measurement is passed as a one-time event. For example, a user using a sphygmomanometer installed in a public health center measures the blood pressure at his / her own time, and the measured blood pressure is deleted without being stored anywhere. However, in order to accurately measure the health of the user, the body information continuously measured for a certain period of time, rather than the body information at any point in time is much more important. For example, by storing the measured blood pressure continuously for at least six months, and determining whether the user has high blood pressure using the stored blood pressure information, the accuracy of the determination result can be improved. However, since the conventional measuring instruments display the measured values on the display and then delete them, or store them in the internal memory, it is impossible to view the stored measurement information elsewhere.

In addition, it is very difficult for a general user to visit a specialized institution such as a hospital to check his / her health and to receive a prescription suitable for it, so that an office worker relies only on a medical examination that is conducted once a year. In addition, the health status of the user is diagnosed using only the physical information of the examination time point obtained in the occasional health examination, and based on the prescription, the exercise prescription, the nutrition prescription, and the like are prescribed. Therefore, the accuracy of the medical examination is significantly lowered, and as a result, a proper diagnosis of the user's health condition can not be made in a timely manner by a professional institution such as a hospital.

Therefore, by allowing the user to measure his / her physical information from anywhere and continuously store and manage the measured physical information, exercise prescriptions, nutritional prescriptions, and doctor's prescriptions that are suitable for the user using stored and managed physical information Of course, the development of a healthcare service providing system that can induce continuous exercise motivation to the user is urgently required.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a healthcare service providing system that allows a user to measure and view his / her physical information and prescription information anytime, anywhere using a network.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a healthcare hub that continuously stores the user's body information measured using the body information measuring devices installed in a public place using a network, and allows a professional institution to view the stored body information. By providing a health care service providing system for providing a total service for health, not just a collection concept of a collection of a measuring device and a tester.

 The present invention for achieving the above object, as a health care service providing system, is installed in at least one of a professional healthcare institution such as a public place, such as a park, a hospital, a public health center, a health club and a home, body shape information of the user And a body information measuring unit for measuring various body information including fitness information and transmitting the measured body information to a healthcare server through a predetermined network, and receiving body information of users transmitted from the body information measuring unit through a network. And at least one of a health care server, a public place, a specialized healthcare institution, and a home that provides, as personalized prescription information, at least one of an exercise prescription, a nutritional prescription, and a doctor's prescription based on the received physical information. Installed in at least one, each received from the body information measuring unit and the health care server Terminal to display the body information and personalized prescribing information, and users are directed to a health care service delivery system that includes a kiosk (kiosk) that allows you to sign in with your health care server. The healthcare server may allow a logged-in user to select and receive a body information measuring unit to measure through a kiosk, and generate and provide a waiting list for the users who select the same body information measuring unit to the users. . In particular, the body shape information includes at least one of height, weight, fat mass, muscle mass, waist circumference, blood sugar, body balance, BMI, usual blood pressure, and usual pulse rate, and the fitness information includes cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle strength, muscular endurance, agility, It includes at least one of quickness, flexibility, coordination, blood pressure during exercise, pulse rate during exercise. In addition, the healthcare server is a dependency management unit that is implemented to allow users to establish asymmetric dependencies between the selected users and to provide the user with the user information of the mentor based on the asymmetric dependencies. In addition, the asymmetric dependency is characterized in that the dependent can view the user information of the dependent, but the dependency indicates a relationship that can not view the user information of the dependent. In particular, the healthcare server further includes a message manager that allows the dependent to analyze user information of the corresponding dependent and provide a message so that the dependent may be interested in health care based on the analyzed user information. It is characterized by. In addition, the healthcare server is characterized by comparing the body information for a predetermined group of users managed by a professional healthcare organization with a predetermined risk range, and transmits a risk message to the user when a risk is foreseen.

And software.

1 is a view conceptually showing a healthcare service providing system according to the present invention.

The healthcare service providing system 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a public place 110 such as a park, a specialized institution 170 such as a health center, a healthcare server 150, and a user home 190. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the body information measuring units 120 and 140 are installed in the public space 110 and the professional institution 170, respectively. In addition, the terminals 130, 140, 180 are installed in the public space 110, the professional institution 170, and the home 190, respectively. All devices included in the service providing system 100 are connected to each other through a network.

The user measures the body information by using the body information measuring unit 120 installed in a public place 110 where a lot of people, such as a park or a downtown area. In this case, the user's body information is transmitted to the healthcare server 150 by the body information measuring unit 120 connected to the network. The healthcare server 150 stores the user's body information in a database (not shown). In addition, the healthcare server 150 generates the optimal prescription information suitable for the user by using the received history of the current body information and the body information stored in the past to transmit to the terminal 130 installed in the public place 110. . Then, the user may promote health by using the prescription information provided from the healthcare server 150 even without visiting the professional institution 170.

In the present specification, the prescription information refers to information such as an exercise prescription, a nutritional prescription, or a doctor's prescription generated to promote the user's health based on the user's current and past physical information. Nutritional prescription refers to information about the diet desired for the user. In other words, no matter how hard you exercise, it is difficult to achieve good results unless it involves good eating habits. Therefore, the more exercise you have to pay attention to the nutrition you eat, the more attention is paid to nutritional prescriptions that provide nutritional information. Recently, nutrition prescriptions using the GI index have been in the limelight rather than the calorie intake of food. Low GI indexes convert foods to glucose slowly, and high GI indexes convert foods to glucose quickly. Therefore, the lower the GI index, the same calorie food is known to be effective in weight loss. In addition, exercise prescription refers to a service that analyzes physical information such as the health and fitness level of the individual, and determines and provides the type, intensity, time, and frequency of exercise suitable for the individual according to the analysis result. Exercise prescriptions are organized systematically on an athletic scientific basis with medical expertise. On the other hand, the prescription of the doctor in the present invention means a professional dosage prescription or other prescription that the doctor comprehensively determined the user's physical state information. In addition, exercise and nutritional prescriptions can be processed and provided to the user more accurately through the doctor.

The body information measuring unit and the terminal are public places 110 such as parks, playgrounds, performance facilities, government offices, schools, banks, department stores, discount stores, etc., and professional healthcare institutions 170 such as hospitals, public health centers, health clubs, and physical therapy rooms. And home 190 may be installed. As shown in FIG. 1, as the body information measuring unit is installed in more places, the user can easily obtain body information anytime and anywhere. In the present specification, the fitness information may include body shape information and fitness information of a user, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the body type information may include at least one of height, weight, body fat mass, muscle mass, waist circumference, blood sugar, body balance, BMI, usual blood pressure, and usual pulse rate, and the fitness information may include cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, It may include, but is not limited to, at least one of agility, quickness, flexibility, coordination, blood pressure during exercise, and pulse rate during exercise. That is, in the present specification, the body shape information refers to various health-related information of a user who is not exercising, and the fitness information refers to information related to the exercise ability of the user. The body information measuring unit for acquiring such body type and physical fitness information may include a height meter, a blood pressure monitor, a blood glucose meter, a weight scale, a body fat meter, a pulse meter, a bike type fitness exercise device, a walking exercise device, a body balance measuring device, and the like. Specific examples of the body information measuring unit will be described later in detail in the relevant part of the present specification.

If the number of physical information measuring units 120 installed in the public space 110 is smaller than the number of users, the user must wait while other users use the same. If the number of physical information measuring units 120 to be used is large, the time for which the users have to wait may increase. In this case, a kiosk (not shown) that can be operated by a user may be provided. Kiosk (KIOSK) means an unmanned information terminal installed in a public place such as a government agency, a local government, a bank, a department store, or an exhibition hall. It is a word derived from Turkish which means a large tent or a porch originally installed outdoors. In general, an unmanned terminal installed in a public place to be easily used by various users for unmanned automation of information service and work is called a kiosk, and is also called a multimedia station or a self service station. . The user can easily log in to the healthcare server 150 using the kiosk. In addition, the terminals 130, 160, 180 may play a role of kiosk. The healthcare server 150 may allow the logged-in users to select a body information measuring unit to use, and provide the user with a waiting list for the selected body information measuring unit. Then, the user can actively change the order of use of the body information measuring unit so that the user can finish the measurement as soon as possible. In the method used for authenticating a user in a kiosk, a login using an ID and a password, as well as a login method using an RFID, a face recognition, a fingerprint recognition, etc. may be used in various ways.

In addition, the healthcare server 150 may perform special management for a certain group of users belonging to the professional healthcare organization 170. For example, assume that professional institution 170 is a local health center. Then, the healthcare server 150 may set a group of elderly people over 70 years of age belonging to the relevant public health center, and may prompt the user who belongs to the group to periodically find a public health center and measure physical information. Participation prompt message for the elderly may be transmitted using a short transmission service (SMS) or the like. Then, the health care server 150 may compare the body information of the elderly people measured by the body information measuring unit 140 with a preset risk range, and transmit a risk message to the corresponding elderly person when the risk is foreseen. In this case, the message may include the current physical information of the elderly, the current degree of danger, and actions to be performed to reduce the degree of danger.

In addition, the healthcare system 100 may include a portable device (not shown) possessed by a user. The portable device may upload a user's exercise practice record to a healthcare server wirelessly or by wire, and may freely download an exercise prescription prescribed by a professional institution. In addition, the portable device may separately include a display (not shown) capable of displaying a workout schedule suitable for it. The portable device may also incorporate functions such as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, and the like. In this case, while the user is exercising, the body information according to the exercise intensity of the user may be transmitted to the healthcare server in real time. The portable device may also embed an RFID tag that can authenticate the user. If the above-described kiosk includes an RFID reader, authentication is automatically performed when the user is close to the kiosk, so that an additional ID and password input operation is unnecessary. Therefore, it is possible to protect personal information in the healthcare system used by several people. Information transmitted from the portable device of the user to the healthcare server and information transmitted from the healthcare server to the portable device may be encrypted through various encryption techniques. When a user uses an individual portable device, a group of related experts such as doctors, nurses, exercise managers, nutritionists, and the like can monitor the user group directly through wired or wireless communication in real time. That is, the attending physician may inquire the current state of the patient in charge of him / her in real time, and based on this, the patient may separately read the measurement records and the practice records and prescribe an appropriate exercise prescription.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing an embodiment of the configuration of the healthcare server shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 2, the health care server 200 includes a body information receiver 210, a prescription information provider 230, a dependency manager 260, a message manager 270, a health information measurer 290, and a controller. 250. The controller 250 controls each component of the health care server 200 as a whole.

The body information receiver 210 receives body information including a state of health of a plurality of users. As described above, the body information may be directly input by the user or may be measured in real time through the health information measuring unit (see 120 and 140 of FIG. 1) and transmitted through the network.

The dependency manager 260 allows users to establish an asymmetric dependency between the selected users. If an asymmetric dependency is established between the body information, the dependency management unit 260 provides the dependent person's body information to the dependent based on this.

The healthcare server 200 shown in FIG. 2 is illustrated as directly including the body information measuring unit 290.

The message manager 270 allows the dependent to provide the user with a result of analyzing and analyzing the dependent body's body information and a message inducing the dependent to be interested in health care. Referring to the message received from the message manager 270, the user can easily know his or her state of health, as well as have a constant motivation to exercise by the encouragement message or reprimand message from the dependent.

In addition, the health care server may provide a health questionnaire to the user to identify the user's lifestyle type, and based on this, suggest a disease that is particularly susceptible, and provide a service for predicting the average life expectancy. In the case of lifestyle analysis, it is possible to analyze the current state of users by considering various variables such as smoking, drinking, exercise, nutrition, stress, TV and internet addiction, and to point out and correct the most dangerous lifestyle among the current lifestyle. Can be. In addition, the accumulated data can be processed to calculate correlations between lifestyles and diseases of a large number of users through a database. Later, the accumulated data can be reprocessed to provide the current level reflecting the user's gender and age group. have.

As described above, the health care server illustrated in FIG. 2 may provide various services such as fitness management service, body type management service, obesity prevention treatment service, management service for hypertension and diabetes patients, lifestyle correction service, and the like. For example, for obesity prevention services, 1) health nutrition surveys, 2) body composition and body shape measurements, 3) blood pressure and fitness measurements, 5) check results, 6) exercise and nutritional prescriptions, 7) user practice and practice Record reporting, 8) consultation and management of managers are carried out in order, and this cycle can be repeated until the user does not want them.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the body information measuring units 120 and 140 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a scale for connecting an external device among the body information measuring units shown in FIG. 1.

3, the weight scale 300 illustrated in FIG. 3 includes a weight sensing unit 310, an audio output unit 320, a display unit 330, an interface unit 340, a control unit 350, a user operation unit 360, A memory unit 370 and an RFID tag 380. The weight sensing unit 310 measures the weight of the user. The weight sensing unit 310 may measure a weight using a load cell, or may measure a weight using a force sensing resistor (FSR).

The weight measured by the weight sensing unit 310 is transmitted to the control unit 350, and the control unit converts the weight according to a communication standard used for communication with an external device and then transmits it through the interface unit 340. For example, the interface unit 340 may communicate with an external device using a universal serial bus (USB).

The display 330 displays the weight information measured by the weight sensor 310. The weight information may be displayed on the external device after being transmitted to the external device through the interface unit 340, or may be directly displayed on the display unit 330 provided in the weight scale. When the weight scale includes the display unit 330, the weight of the user may be measured even when the external device and the scale are not connected. The user manipulation unit 360 is used to identify a user or input body information such as a weight of the user. When the scale is used in a home network, family members can be identified with a simple button. Through the user manipulation unit 360, weights of several users may be systematically managed.

The memory unit 370 stores weight information measured by the weight sensor 310. The scale shown in FIG. 3 may be used in connection with an external device or may be used stand-alone with the external device. In addition, the RFID tag 380 stores identification information of the weight scale read through an RFID reader (not shown) provided in the external device. The RFID reader 390 reads the recognition information of the user. By using an RFID card for each user, if multiple users use a single scale, they do not have to recognize themselves each time. That is, the weight scale 300 can directly identify the user by simply accessing the RFID reader 390 with the RFID possessed by the user. The voice output unit 320 may improve user convenience by outputting measured weight information or exercise prescription provided from an external device as a voice signal. In addition, the scale shown in FIG. 3 may include a body balance measurement function. That is, the weight sensor 310 may measure the load that is changed due to the voluntary movement of the user to maintain a predetermined posture, and the controller 350 analyzes the frequency and amplitude of the output signal of the weight sensor 310. The balance of the user can be measured. In this case, the weight sensing unit 310 may include a plurality of sensors (not shown) formed on the plate symmetrically with respect to the center point. If the weight scale has a function of measuring body balance, it has the advantage of measuring all the weight, body composition, weight distribution, and the degree of balance using one scale.

In the present specification, a pair of user body parts include left and right hands, left and right feet, and the like. At this time, the bike-type fitness exercise equipment 400 may measure left and right bad muscle strength and angular strength, left and right bad muscle endurance and angular endurance including a left and right gripometer and an electronic brake.

When the user starts the exercise using the bike exercise device, the position detector 410 detects which position the left or right foot of the user is, respectively, and generates left and right position information. The left and right position information generated by the position detector 410 is provided to the exercise information generator 490.

The left and right driving force received by the left and right driving force receiving unit is measured by the driving force measuring unit 470. As the driving force measuring unit, various sensors for measuring the applied pressure may be used. For example, the driving force measuring unit 470 may be a load cell (not shown) for measuring the driving force transmitted from the left driving force receiving unit 430 and the right driving force receiving unit 450. Then, the exercise information generator 490 analyzes the left and right positional information received from the position detector 410 and the left and right driving force received from the driving force measuring unit 470 to determine how much force the left foot exerts and how quickly. Generate various workout information such as

The lower frame 505, the support frame 510, and the load supporting rod 515 are made of a rigid material such as steel, and a pedal drive 530 is attached to the lower frame 505.

The pedal 540 of the walking exercise device 500 shown in FIG. 5 may be driven by a user or may be driven by the pedal driver 530. In the latter case, the pedal's movement acts as a stimulus that disturbs the body's balance, and the body reflects this stimulus. Therefore, this reflex action strengthens the muscles needed for walking as well as strengthening the muscles necessary for repetitive learning and regenerates or re-expresses the tissues responsible for the walking functions of the brain or nerves required for walking. do.

While the user is exercising, the body information of the user is collected and provided to the controller 550. The body information may be displayed on the display 590 to allow the user to directly check his or her physical condition. In addition, the controller 550 may measure agility, quickness, muscular endurance, and VO2 of the user.

Hereinafter, the weight relieving unit 580 will be described in detail. The holder 570 is attached to a predetermined part of the user's body. In particular, the holder 570 is preferably attached to the upper body of the user stably. Then, the line 575 connected to the holder 570 is connected to the weight relief portion 580. The weight relief unit 580 includes a motor (not shown) that can raise and lower the holder 570 by winding or unwinding the line 575. For example, assume that the pressure applied to the left foot is greater than the pressure applied to the right foot for a user. This phenomenon means that some of the pressure applied to the user's right foot must be relieved. Therefore, the controller 550 controls the weight relieving unit 580 to pull the right side of the holder 570 higher than the left side. If the right side of the holder 570 is towed more, the excess pressure applied to the right side can be reduced, so that the user's body can be balanced. In addition, the holder 570 may include a heart rate monitor for measuring the heart rate of the user. By attaching the heart rate monitor directly to the holder 570, the change in heart rate during the user's movement is easily measured.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. For example, the body information measuring unit included in the healthcare service providing system according to the present invention may be embedded in a terminal or implemented together with the terminal. In this case, the user can measure body information using a single integrated device, as well as check prescription information from the healthcare server, thereby improving user convenience. In addition, the body information measuring unit of the present invention may include an RFID reader and the like installed at regular intervals along the trails of the park. When the user carrying the RFID tag moves, the RFID reader sequentially detects the RFID tag carried by the user, and when the detected time information is used, the moving speed of the user can be known.

Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
