Description

System and method for providing medical information

The present invention relates to a medical information providing system and a method thereof, and more particularly, the medical information is converted and provided so as to be suitable for a personal terminal provided in a bed, and thus the size and format of the medical information stored in the medical information system are limited. It can be stored without receiving the information, and from the standpoint of the personal terminal, it is possible to load medical information quickly by providing medical information suitable for the performance and device of the personal terminal and improve security by not directly accessing the medical information system. And a method thereof.

With the development of information and communication technology, there has been a rapid development in medical services. Conventional manual medical services are automated or computerized, and various types of medical information systems have been developed or developed. For example, medical services are being automated by introducing a hospital information system (HIS) such as a Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS), an Oreder Communication System (OCS), and an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.

However, although medical services have been developed as described above, systems or services developed for patient-oriented or patient convenience are still insufficient.

For example, many hospitals provide display devices such as TVs or large screens to provide contents (eg, broadcasting, medical information, etc.) to patients. However, in the related art, contents are unilaterally provided without considering the characteristics of patients or users. For example, in the related art, since a display device commonly used in a hospital room or a display device is provided in a public place such as a waiting room to provide contents, information that is not suitable for the characteristics and circumstances of a patient or a caregiver of a patient may be consumed in common. There was no choice but to provide content that was available or useful only to specific patients.

Even if the contents were distinguished, the contents were classified according to each hospital or ward, so that the customized customized contents needed for the patient (or guardian) could not be provided.

To this end, the applicant has filed a Korean patent application (application number 10-2010-0056284, "Patient-customized service providing system and method thereof," "previous patent").

In order to fully understand the present invention, the operational advantages of the present invention, and the objects achieved by the practice of the present invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention and the contents described in the accompanying drawings.

Also, in this specification, when any one element 'transmits' data to another element, the element may transmit the data directly to the other element, or may be transmitted through at least one other element And may transmit the data to the other component.

Conversely, when one element 'directly transmits' data to another element, it means that the data is transmitted to the other element without passing through another element in the element.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

1 is a view for explaining a schematic configuration of a medical information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the medical information providing system 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a gateway system 100. The medical information providing system 1 may further include a plurality of personal terminals 200. In addition, the gateway system 100 may transmit and receive predetermined data for implementing the technical idea of the present invention and the medical information system 500.

The gateway system 100 provides content to at least one of the plurality of personal terminals 200 in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. To this end, the gateway system 100 receives predetermined medical information from any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201), receives the requested information from the medical information system 500, and receives the personal terminal. May transmit to any one of the fields 200 (eg, 201). In this case, the gateway system 100 does not simply transmit the medical information received from the medical information system 500, but converts the medical information to any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201). Is converted to correspond to and transmitted to any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201).

Processing of the medical information corresponding to any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201), that is, the personal terminal (for example, 201) that requested the medical information may include the performance of the personal terminal (for example, 201) or the like. It may mean converting at least one of a file format, a file size, a resolution, an encoding bandwidth, a reproduction size, or an encryption condition of a file corresponding to the medical information to suit the data processing capability.

For example, when the medical information received from the medical information system 500 is a video, the gateway system 100 may receive a video of a high definition resolution (eg, a DVD file) from the medical information system 500. This is because very precise and high resolution information may exist in the medical information system 500 due to the characteristics of the medical information. However, when loaded or reproduced in any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201), the data may be simply described by a medical staff to explain the patient without the need for detailed data stored in the medical information system 500. It may be enough to win. Accordingly, the gateway system 100 may convert the video having the high resolution resolution into the video having the lower resolution. Alternatively, the band whis, ie, frames per second, of the video received from the medical information system 500 may be converted. That is, if any one of the personal terminals 200 (eg, 201) has a slow processing speed of video decoding, the frames per second may be lowered. Of course, the content may be converted into a video format (eg, MPEG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV, AM, or RM, etc.) supported by any one of the personal terminals 200 (eg, 201). have. As described above, according to the technical concept of the present invention, heavy medical information existing in the medical information system 500 is converted into light medical information, that is, processed medical information by the gateway system 100, and the personal terminals 200. ) May be transmitted to any one (eg, 201). This is because the medical information system 500 that handles very precise and detailed data may be provided with a high specification data processing system. However, like the medical information providing system 1 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, individual terminals may be provided for each bed. This is because each of the personal terminals 200 may not have a high data processing capability such as the medical information system 500 when the 200 is provided. In addition, even if high-quality medical information can be loaded or reproduced, it may take a long time. Accordingly, the gateway system 100 may convert medical information received from the medical information system 500 in a predetermined manner and transmit the medical information to any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201).

The gateway system 100 may not convert the medical information in a predetermined manner, but may convert the medical information to correspond to each of the personal terminals 200. To this end, the gateway system 100 stores information on each of the personal terminals 200 in advance, or when medical information is requested from any one of the personal terminals 200 (for example, 201), the personal terminal. Information about the personal terminal can be received from (eg, 201). The information on the personal terminal may include information on a content format supported by the personal terminal (eg, 201), a bandweigh of the personal terminal (eg, 201), or a resolution. In addition, when the information on the personal terminal includes information (eg, size, etc.) about a device of a display provided in the personal terminal (eg, 201), the medical information may be loaded when the medical information is loaded or reproduced. The playback size can be converted to be optimized for the display device. Or the medical information is encrypted, and information on the data processing capability of the personal terminal (eg, 201) is included in the information on the personal terminal (eg, specifications of a CPU or MCU, vendor information, serial number, etc.). If so, the encryption condition or level may be changed. For example, if the medical information stored in the medical information system 500 is encrypted with 128 bits, the gateway system 100 decrypts the received medical information and then encrypts the medical information with 64 bits, thereby selecting any one of the personal terminals 200. One can transmit to one (eg, 201). Then, the personal terminal (eg, 201) can decode and load or reproduce medical information using a 64-bit decoding algorithm having relatively little data processing required for decoding.

The method of converting medical information into processed medical information by the gateway system 100 may vary according to the type of medical information. For example, when the medical information is simply an image or text, the gateway system 100 may convert a file format used in the medical information system 500 into a general file format (for example, jpg, tiff, etc.) Again, the file's resolution can be converted lower. Alternatively, when the medical information includes information that does not need to be transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201), it may be possible to reduce the file size or delete some of the contents by cutting the image. Even when the medical information is an audio file, transcoding similar to a video may be performed.

Meanwhile, the medical information providing system 1 may provide customized contents to the patient as disclosed in the previous patent. In this case, the gateway system 100 may perform a function of the control system 100 disclosed in the previous patent. As described above, the technical idea of the present invention may be applied even when predetermined content customized to a patient is transmitted to any one of the personal terminals 200. That is, content may be selected and provided according to a patient corresponding to each of the plurality of personal terminals 200. The gateway system 100 may use patient information to select content according to a patient, and may differently select content to be transmitted to a personal terminal (eg, 201) corresponding to the patient. Alternatively, the selected content may be converted to correspond to each of the personal terminals 200 as in the medical information providing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the converted content is transmitted to each of the personal terminals 200. Can be. That is, at least one of a file format, a file size, a resolution, an encoding bandwidth, a playback size, or an encryption condition of the content may be converted so as to suit the performance or data processing capability of the personal terminal 200 to receive the content. Patient-specific contents can be provided in an optimized form for the terminal. Since the technical idea of extracting customized content to a patient and transmitting the customized content to each of the personal terminals 200 has been disclosed in detail in the previous patent, a description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, the gateway system 100 may store information on each personal terminal requesting medical information in advance in order to convert medical information into processed medical information, or receive from each of the personal terminals 200 in real time. It may be. Alternatively, the medical information may be converted into processed medical information in the same manner without using information on the personal terminals of each of the personal terminals 200. In this case, each of the personal terminals 200 may be a case of a personal terminal having the same or similar specifications.

In the present specification, the specific system (eg, the gateway system 100, etc.) may mean a logical configuration having hardware resources and / or software necessary to implement the technical idea of the present invention. It does not necessarily mean one physical component or one device. That is, the gateway system 100 may mean a logical combination of hardware and / or software provided to implement the technical idea of the present invention. If necessary, the gateway system 100 may be installed in devices spaced apart from each other to perform respective functions. As a result, it may be implemented as a set of logical configurations for implementing the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the gateway system 100 may refer to a set of components separately implemented for each function or role for implementing the technical idea of the present invention. For example, in the configuration of the gateway system 100 as shown in FIG. 3, the control module 110, the transformation module 120, and the transmission module 130 may be located in different physical devices or may be located in the same physical device. It can also be located at. In some embodiments, a combination of software and / or hardware constituting each of the control module 110, the conversion module 120, or the transmission module 130 may also be located on different physical devices and different physical devices. The components located at may be organically combined with each other to realize a function performed by each module.

In addition, the term module in the present specification may mean a functional and structural combination of hardware for performing the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware. For example, the module may mean a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for performing the predetermined code, and does not necessarily mean a physically connected code or a kind of hardware. Can be easily inferred by the average expert in the art.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the gateway system 100 may transmit and receive data to and from a predetermined medical information system 500 to implement the technical spirit of the present invention. For example, the medical information system 500 may include at least one of a Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS), an Oreder Communication System (OCS), or an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. A system capable of generating and storing medical information may be included in the medical information system 500.

The medical information and the image information itself stored in the medical information system 500 may be predetermined content and transmitted to any one of the plurality of personal terminals 200. The patient or medical staff may use the contents. It can be used during treatment or after care. Alternatively, a method of coping with a specific portion (eg, a specific portion of a medical record or a specific image of image information) and predetermined additional information (eg, a specific symptom) among information stored in the medical information system 500 or stored information. New content may be generated by combining information about a specific image or information describing a specific image). The newly generated content may be automatically generated or manually generated by at least one of the medical information system 500 or the gateway system 100, and the generated content may be processed content according to the technical spirit of the present invention. It can be converted and stored in a predetermined DB. Alternatively, notification information, etc., to be notified to each patient or guardian through the medical information system 500 may be input as the content, and such content may also be input to any one of the personal terminals 200 through the gateway system 100. The processed content may be converted and transmitted to correspond to one (eg, 201). The gateway system 100 may include a predetermined interface protocol capable of transmitting and receiving necessary information with the medical information system 500.

The plurality of personal terminals 200 may be provided for each hospital bed included in a predetermined hospital room 300 or 400. Each of the plurality of personal terminals 200 may be connected to the control system 100 through a network. Therefore, each of the plurality of personal terminals 200 may have unique terminal information. The terminal information may include terminal identification information (eg, a serial number), a media access control (MAC) address, and / or an internet protocol (IP) address. In addition, predetermined mapping information to which terminal information of each of the personal terminals 200 and information on the personal terminal corresponding to the terminal information (that is, specifications, display apparatus, information on data processing capability, etc.) are mapped may be mapped. ) May be stored in at least one of the medical information system 500 or the gateway system 100 in a predetermined data structure (eg, a table). According to an embodiment, the mapping information may include identification information of the personal terminal and information on the personal terminal corresponding thereto, and the MAC address or the IP address and information on the personal terminal corresponding thereto may be included in the mapping information. have. Using this mapping information, the gateway system 100 may convert the contents (eg, medical information) into processed medical information so as to correspond to the individual terminals 200.

Each of the personal terminals 200 may be a display device capable of simply playing a content transmitted from the gateway system 100 according to an embodiment, and each of the personal terminals 200 may be predetermined. It may be any data processing apparatus that is to perform data processing. In addition, according to an implementation example, each of the personal terminals 200 may request predetermined content (eg, medical information) from the gateway system 100. The requestor for requesting content may vary. For example, the requestor may be a medical staff. The medical staff goes to the bed where the patient is located and is provided with the bed without having to carry the medical information such as medical records, charts, etc. in a paper or portable terminal using the medical information providing system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The personal terminal (eg, 201) may be used to load content (eg, medical information) necessary for medical care. In some cases, a patient or guardian may request a predetermined content (eg, medical information) using a personal terminal (eg, 201).

As such, various requestors may request content (eg, medical information) from the personal terminal (eg, 201) to the gateway system 100, and the gateway system 100 may request information from the personal terminal (eg, 201). Receive requester information (e.g., identity of the requester, identification information, etc.) and convert the content (e.g., medical information) stored in the medical information system 500 or the gateway system 100 based on the received requester information. You can check the access rights of the processed content. For example, content accessible by the medical staff (eg, medical information) and content accessible by the patient (eg, medical information) may be different. In addition, even the medical staff may access different contents (eg, medical information) according to the doctor or nurse, and even if the same doctor or nurse is the doctor or nurse of the patient corresponding to the personal terminal (eg, 201). Accessible content (eg, medical information) may vary according to whether or not.

Accordingly, the gateway system 100 confirms the access right to the processed content (eg, medical information) or content (eg, medical information) based on the requestor information input from the personal terminal (eg, 201), The processed content (eg, medical information) may be transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201) based on the confirmation result. The requestor may input the requestor information into the personal terminal (eg, 201) by using login information such as ID, password, or the like. The requestor information may be input using a predetermined identification device (eg, RFID card, magnetic card, etc.). You can also type.

Meanwhile, the gateway system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may convert the contents (for example, medical information) existing in the medical information system 500 into processed contents in a predetermined manner and store them in a predetermined DB. When a predetermined content (eg, medical information) is requested from the personal terminal (eg, 201), the requested content (eg, medical information) is received from the medical information system 500, and then the received content ( For example, medical information may be converted into processed content and transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201).

To this end, the gateway system 100 requests content (eg, medical information) to the medical information system 500 based on the information on the patient corresponding to the personal terminal (eg, 201), and requests the requested When the content (eg, medical information) is received, the received content (eg, medical information) may be converted into the processed content and transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201). Alternatively, contents (eg, medical information) stored in the medical information system 200 are converted into corresponding processed contents in advance and stored in a predetermined DB (eg, processed medical information DB 140 shown in FIG. 3). When the content (eg, medical information) is requested from the personal terminal (eg, 201), the processed content corresponding to the requested information may be transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201). The information on the patient corresponding to the personal terminal (eg, 201) may be known using terminal information (eg, identification information, IP, MAC address, etc. of the personal terminal) as disclosed in the previous patent, and by the requestor. Information for identifying a may be input separately. As described above, when the gateway system 100 converts the content (for example, medical information) into processed content and transmits the processed content to the personal terminal (for example, 201) after receiving the specific content request, the gateway system 100 is in real time. It is desirable to have sufficient data processing capability to convert the contents (for example, medical information).

As described above, according to the spirit of the present invention, the personal terminal (eg, 201) does not directly receive content (eg, medical information) from the medical information system 500, but through the gateway system 100. Since the processed content is provided, the personal terminal (eg, 201) does not directly access the medical information system 500. Therefore, the security of the information stored in the medical information system 500 is effective, and in particular, due to the characteristics of the medical information that may be fatal if a little leak or change, a personal terminal (for example, 201) is a medical information according to the technical idea of the present invention. The technical idea of not being able to access the system 500 directly can be very useful.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a personal terminal for each medical information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided for each hospital bed.

Personal terminal (eg, 201) according to an embodiment of the present invention may be provided for each bed so that the patient can easily use the bed as shown in FIG. The provision of each bed does not necessarily mean that the personal terminal (eg, 201) is connected to a bed through a predetermined connection member, and the patient who uses each bed regardless of where the personal terminal (eg, 201) is installed. Alternatively, it may mean that the guardian is provided in a predetermined way to use. For example, the personal terminal (eg, 201) may be provided at a location easily accessible to a patient or guardian by being connected to a wall, a ceiling, or a bed of a hospital room through a predetermined connection member. In addition, the personal terminal (eg, 201) may be connected to a predetermined network (eg, the Internet, an intranet, a wireless Internet, etc.) to receive content from the gateway system 100. In addition, the personal terminal (eg, 201) may be provided with a remote control device 201-1 to increase the convenience of use of the patient or guardian as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, the personal terminal (eg, 201) may be implemented in a form that can be detached from the connection member so that the patient or guardian can use even out of the bed, the personal terminal (eg, 201) is used away from the connection member In this case, the personal terminal (eg, 201) may perform a function as a portable terminal. In this case, the personal terminal (eg, 201) may be connected to a wireless network (eg, hospital WiFi, etc.) to receive predetermined content from the gateway system 100 or to request predetermined information from the gateway system 100. have. To this end, the personal terminal (for example, 201) may be provided with a predetermined network device, and the data processing device for performing a function such as playing the content or requesting predetermined information from the gateway system 100 ( For example, it may be implemented as a tablet PC, a handheld PC, and the like. On the other hand, when the personal terminal (eg, 201) is connected to the gateway system 100 via a wired network, security problems such as interception of data that may occur in a wireless network may be solved.

3 is a view for explaining a schematic configuration of a gateway system 100 that can be included in a medical information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for providing medical information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the requester may request predetermined content (eg, medical information) through a personal terminal (eg, 201) (S100). In this case, the medical information providing system 1 may request the requester information. Then, the gateway system 100 may check whether the requester has authority to access the content (eg, medical information) based on the requested content (eg, medical information) and the requestor information (S110). If there is no access right (S120), the gateway system 100 may transmit predetermined error information to the personal terminal (for example, 201) and complete the request processing (S121). If there is access right (S120), the gateway system 100 may check whether the processed content corresponding to the requested content (eg, medical information) is stored in the processed medical information DB 140 (S130).

If the processed content corresponding to the requested content is stored in the processed medical information DB 140, the gateway system 100 processes the processed content corresponding to the requested content (eg, medical information) into the processed medical information DB ( 140 can be extracted (S140). Accordingly, the extracted processed content may be transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201) (S150). If the processed content corresponding to the requested content is not stored in the processed medical information DB 140, the gateway system 100 extracts the requested content (eg, medical information) from the medical information system 500. Can be received (S141). Then, the gateway system 100 may generate the processed content by converting the received content (eg, medical information) to correspond to a predetermined method or the personal terminal (eg, 201) (S142). The generated processed content may be transmitted to the personal terminal (eg, 201) (S151). Accordingly, the transmitted processed content may be more suitable for the personal terminal (eg, 201) and may be loaded or played back quickly. Of course, the generated processed content may be stored in the processed medical information DB 140, and when the same content (eg, medical information) is requested again, the medical information system 500 receives the content (eg, medical information). Instead, the processed medical information DB 140 extracts the corresponding processed content and transmits the processed content to the personal terminal (eg, 201).

The technical idea of the present invention can be applied not only to medical information but also to various contents as disclosed in the previous patent. That is, as disclosed in the previous patent, a specific content is not necessarily requested by a requestor through a personal terminal (for example, 201), and the gateway system 100 (in the previous patent, the control system 100) does not request the personal information even if there is no request. Content to be transmitted to the terminal (for example, 201), that is, personalized content (for example, advertisement information, etc.) customized to the personal terminal (for example, 201) or a patient corresponding to the bed equipped with the personal terminal (for example, 201) may be selected. . Then, the selected content may not be simply transmitted to the personal terminal (for example, 201), but may be converted into processed content and transmitted to correspond to the personal terminal (for example, 201) as in the technical spirit of the present invention. Since the technical idea of selecting customized content for a patient is described in detail in the previous patent, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
