Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health care device, a health care method, a download server for storing a program for performing the method, and a computer readable recording medium. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002]

The present invention relates to a health care apparatus, a health care method, a download server for storing a program for performing the method, and a computer-readable recording medium, and more particularly to a system and method for preventing and managing diabetes, A health care device, a health care method, a download server for storing a program for performing the method, and a computer-readable recording medium.

According to the survey on diabetes admission / prevalence rate in Korea, diabetes patients are the second highest among the OECD member countries. According to the survey on diabetes mellitus in Korea, the number of hospitalized patients due to diabetes related diseases is 351.4 per 100,000 population in 2009, The highest in the middle. This was an increase of about 12% over 313 in 2007, followed by Austria (355.2) with the highest number of diabetics in OECD countries. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Korea is only 9%, and the prevalence of diabetes in Korea is significantly lower than in the US (12.3%), Germany (12%) and Canada (11.6% It is a figure.

The OECD estimates that the proportion of inpatient patients in the OECE was the second most likely reason for not having adequate health care, and the OECE concluded that "diabetes can delay or prevent the onset of diabetes by modest weight loss and dietary control, "It is also possible to reduce the possibility of complications," he said.

In the case of diabetes, diabetes complications such as hyperlipidemia are often accompanied. Given the westernized eating habits and the spicy character of Korean food, the diabetic patients will continue to grow. Therefore, a program that can easily manage the health care of diabetic patients and possible factor holders is needed.

The difficulty in managing diabetes is largely a matter of diet. The vast majority of patients are unable to improve their diet because they continue to consume food that suits their taste, something similar to their own. Analysis of the diets of the majority of patients and the general population classified as diabetes as well as diabetes high risk group showed that they maintained a similar diet repeated every day. It is the same in the whole world, and it is highly related to the living environment of each family from the time of birth, and it is difficult for the domesticated food culture to change easily even if the disease such as diabetes develops.

In addition, due to persistent desire, many diabetics and high-risk patients are unable to escape from diabetes even if they increase their exercise. The main cause of diabetes is metabolic disease because control of the food itself is more important than exercise.

If you write a weekly menu that most people eat, they repeatedly take the same food menu. It is very difficult to deduce what kind of epidemiological correlations exist between the food you eat at work or at home and your blood sugar. The salinity and the sugar content of food are different from one food to another. When people eat food, the intestinal microorganisms and metabolic activities are different from each other. This makes the control of diabetic patients difficult.

For example, in the case of an apple known to be a recommended diabetic food, some people eat a single apple to keep the sugar level stable, but certain patients have a sharp change in sugar levels. This problem is manifested not only by the sugar but also by the difference in the salinity content of food.

For the management of diabetic patients, the hospital requires diabetics to write a diary diary. The diary diary is provided with a blood glucose measurement column for the morning, lunch and dinner (fasting) and after the meal (two hours after the meal), before bedtime and at the dawn time (for example, at 3:00 am) Let blood glucose be measured and recorded at the time. This diary diary is a simple record of diabetes figures, and is limited to simple management functions that simply record the measurement value at a specific time.

As we noted earlier, when an individual apologizes, he or she judges that a change in sugar occurs suddenly in a certain person, and that a person does not cause a change in sugar in an apple. Thus, each diabetic patient or diabetic person can control the diet We need a way to make it possible.

In other words, considering the characteristics of food and the response to each individual food, it is possible to improve the dietary life of each individual by associating the dietary value with the food consumed in the individual's diet. There is a need to provide a download server and a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for performing the method.

The storage unit 207 includes a mass storage medium such as a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, and / or a hard disk, for example, and stores a health care program for diabetes management and the like. In addition, the storage unit 207 stores various data for health management of the user in a form of a database or the like.

For example, the storage unit 207 stores a list of daily diets including a user's breakfast, lunch, and dinner, stores a list of per-dietary changes that caused a user's diary change, Store a list of risk factors that represent food.

Each list of dietary and risk factors is managed by a health care program. The per diem list includes dietary meals for each date, and the diets include multiple diets consumed by the user at the diets. Each diet and food can be recorded using text, identification data, etc. Each of the plurality of foods is also mapped to (a data of) the sodium content value, and the sodium content value is stored in the storage unit 207. Each diet in the daily diet list is also mapped to pre-meal blood glucose values and postprandial blood glucose values. Each pre-meal blood glucose value and postprandial blood glucose value are also stored in the storage unit 207.

The per-change-diet list is a list of the diets that caused the per-threshold change. Each of the diets on the sugar change diet list contains a plurality of foods and each food is mapped to a sodium content value. Each diet is also mapped to pre-meal blood sugar values, post-meal blood sugar values, or differences in blood sugar values.

The safety factor list is a list of foods that collect foods contained in a diet that resulted in a per-threshold change below the threshold (which may be the same or different from the threshold that determines the above list of per-glucose diets). Each safety factor in the safety factor list indicates that the sugar change before and after ingestion of the food can be restricted below a certain threshold. Each safety factor includes text or identification data representing the food.

The risk factor list is a list of foods to be recalled using the per-change-meal list and the safety factor list, and is a list of foods to warn the user. Each risk factor in the risk factor list is a food that causes a sugar change above the threshold in each diet in the glucose change list. Each risk factor includes text or identification data that represents the food.

In addition, the storage unit 207 further stores user setting data. The user setting data is preset data for the health management of the user, for example, key information, standard weight information automatically calculated from key information, user activity level (for example, The current weight information of the user, the total calories required for one day, or the like, or the automatic calculation by the health care program.

The connection unit 209 transmits / receives data between blocks in the healthcare system 200. The connection unit 209 includes, for example, a parallel data bus, a serial data bus, a control line, an interrupt line, and the like. Preferably, the connection unit 209 transmits / receives data to / from another block under the control of the control unit 211.

The control unit 211 controls each block of the healthcare system 200. The control unit 211 has one or more execution units capable of executing the program codes and loads and executes a program that can be executed in the execution unit from the storage unit 207. [ The control unit 211 can control each block according to the code execution of the program.

The control unit 211 is configured to be able to load and execute various types of programs on the execution unit. Preferably, the health management program stored in the storage unit 207 is loaded to continuously manage the health of the user .

For example, the control unit 211 can automatically manage the user's diet management and blood glucose management by automatically loading the health management program of the storage unit 207 through the input unit 201 or at a predetermined time.

Referring to an exemplary control performed by the control unit 211 through the health care program, the control unit 211 receives the food item input through the input unit 201 indicating a plurality of foods. The menu entry may be made by selecting an icon (a menu entry icon) displayed on the output unit 203.

 The control unit 211 determines whether one or more of the food items of the received diet is a registered risk factor. For this, the control unit 211 compares the identification data (which may be text) of the received food items with the identification data of each of the foods in the risk factor list stored in the storage unit 207, It can be determined that the food is a registered risk factor. If the registered risk factor is a registered risk factor, the control unit 211 generates warning data indicating that the food is a risk factor that causes a sugar change above the threshold value, and outputs the warning data through the output unit 203.

The control unit 211 can determine the sodium contents for each food item of the diet input. For example, the control unit 211 may receive data indicating the sodium content of a specific food item from the measuring instrument 100 via the communication unit 205 and display the data on the output unit 203 according to the user's input. The measuring instrument 100 can be configured to measure salinity and further measure the amount of blood glucose.

In addition, the control unit 211 receives the pre-meal blood glucose value from the meter 100 (and subsequently) with the meal input and also receives the post-meal blood glucose value. The postprandial blood glucose value may be data of the blood glucose value measured by the measuring device 100 after a lapse of a designated time (for example, 2 hours) after the meal. The pre-meal and post-meal blood glucose values may be mapped to the input diet and stored in the storage unit 207.

Upon receipt of the pre-meal and post-meal blood glucose values, the control unit 211 determines a blood sugar difference between the meal and the post meal of the inputted diet and determines whether the determined blood glucose difference is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value. This threshold may vary depending on user settings. For example, the threshold value can be changed to several levels and can be set differently according to the user's condition.

 If the threshold value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the control unit 211 adds the corresponding diet to the per-change menu list of the storage unit 207 and uses it to extract a future risk factor list. If it is below the threshold value, the control unit 211 adds and stores the foods included in the input meal into the safety factor list of the storage unit 207. [

Here, the control unit 211 may register another safety factor list using another threshold value. For example, the control unit 211 may determine a diet to add to the per-dietary list using the first threshold, and determine a diet having safe foods to add to the safety factor list using the first threshold and another threshold have. This other threshold may be a threshold for filtering the diet with a blood glucose difference that is lower than the first threshold and a threshold that is perceived to be safe for health care according to the party.

In this way, the control unit 211 can manage the health of the user by using the measuring instrument 100 or the like, and dynamically determine the dangerous or safe food from the food data. This is also determined by the difference in blood glucose values measured for the user, so that the user can find safe or dangerous food for each user, and thus individual diabetes management related to food is possible.

The specific control flow in the healthcare system 200 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.

Then, the user selects a registration icon (a menu entry icon) displayed together with the menu item, and the control unit 211 requests the input unit 201 to input the currently set food item and the food item to be currently consumed with the sodium content And receives a menu input indicating selection of a registration icon (S107).

Upon receipt of the meal input, the control unit 211 specifies the input meal. The entered diet can be mapped to a specific meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.) of today's date. The mapping of the specific meal of a specific date can be automatically determined using the time information that can be determined by the control unit 211. [ The entered diet includes a plurality of foods and each food contains sodium content information. Each of the foods may further include information on the amount of food. The amount information on the food may be set as a user input through the input unit 201 and may be defined as the size of the bowl or the number of grams.

After the determination of the diet to be consumed, the controller 211 first determines whether at least one of the plurality of foods in the input diet is a registered risk factor (S109). For example, the control unit 211 compares the identification data of each food item in the input menu with the identification data of each food item in the risk factor list stored in the storage unit 207, and determines whether the food item is a registered risk factor .

If it is a registered risk factor, the control unit 211 outputs warning data indicating that the one or more foods are a risk factor through the output unit 203 (S111). For example, the control unit 211 generates a text or image including identification data or text of the food and further includes a warning text, and outputs the text or image to the output unit 203. It is also possible to output the entire risk factor of the risk factor list separately according to the inquiry request of the user.

Thereafter, the control unit 211 receives the pre-meal blood glucose value and the post-meal blood glucose value measured through the measuring device 100 (S113). Of course, the reception of the pre-discharge blood glucose value may be executed before steps S103 to 107. For example, the control unit 211 receives the data of the pre-discharge blood glucose value measured by the measuring device 100 through the local communication network and transmits the data of the pre-existing blood glucose value to the measuring device 100 (for example, ) Of the postprandial blood glucose value measured by the postprandial blood glucose meter. The data of the received pre- and post-meal blood glucose values are mapped to the input diet.

The control unit 211 can output the total calorie intake, the total sodium intake, the expected blood sugar amount, and the like through the output unit 203 in the process of (S113) or before.

The control unit 211 determines the difference between the pre-meal and post-meal blood glucose values according to the pre-meal and post-meal blood glucose values (S115). The difference value can be calculated, for example, by subtracting the pre-meal blood glucose value data from the post-meal blood glucose value data.

The control unit 211 determines whether the determined blood sugar difference is equal to or greater than the threshold value (S117). This threshold is a level for requesting or warning of blood glucose management due to eating, and may be different depending on the user's state (setting state, etc.).

If it is less than or equal to the threshold value, the control unit 211 adds the food items included in the input meal to the safety factor list of the storage unit 207 and stores the food items. In addition, the control unit 211 stores the meal list in the daily diary list.

The threshold value when added to the safety factor list may be different from the threshold used when adding to the list of per-dietary changes to be described later. The controller 211 determines that all the foods in the input menu are stored in the safety factor list 207 in the safety factor list if the determined blood glucose level difference is below the threshold value and if the determined blood glucose difference is below a threshold different from the threshold value in step S117, . ≪ / RTI > The other threshold is a threshold that allows the user to know that the food is safe and does not change blood sugar before and after the ingestion, for example. This threshold value may be lower than the threshold value used earlier in step S117.

When the determination in step S117 is equal to or more than the threshold value, the control unit 211 adds the corresponding diet to the per-change diet list of the storage unit 207 and stores it.

This per-dietary list is used to generate a list of risk factors later.

5 is a flow chart illustrating a method for generating and updating a risk factor list in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The updating of the risk factor list can be started periodically or according to the occurrence of a specific event (S200).

First, the control unit 211 reads one of the food items from the list of food items of the storage unit 207 (S201), and one food item may include one or more food items.

Then, the control unit 211 determines whether all of the foods included in the read food are excluded from the safety factor list (S203).

If all the foods except one food are in the safety factor list (YES), the one food is added to the risk factor list (S205). If all the foods other than one food are not on the safety factor list (NO), the process proceeds to step S207. The diet in which step S05 is performed may be removed from the glucose-change diet list or flagged to indicate that the extraction of risk factors is complete. If the flag is attached to the list of per-change diets, it is possible to omit the extraction of risk factors later.

Then, it is determined whether all the diets of the glucose-change-type-diary list have been performed (S207). If yes, the process returns to step S201.

The flow of FIG. 5 can be performed according to the occurrence of a specific event, for example, when the safety factor list is updated or when the per-change food list is updated, and in step S119 or S121 Lt; / RTI > In this case, rather than repeating all the diets of the glucose-change diet list in the flowchart of FIG. 5, it is possible to select only those portions related to the safety factor or the glucose-change diet to be updated.

Through the above process of the present invention, the user can find specific foods that can manage his / her blood sugar and are problematic in managing blood sugar, and foods that do not become a problem. In addition, the user can distinguish food according to the constitution of the asset.

4 and 5, a risk factor list and a safety factor list are dynamically generated and managed through a database of the storage unit 207, and a list of daily dietary plans is managed.

Accordingly, the user can observe the daily dietary intake of dietary supplements on a daily or weekly basis, and systematically identify foods that may cause blood sugar problems in each dietary supplement. In addition, since the pattern of each user's diet is constant, the health management method according to the present invention can easily find and manage the health care and problematic foods according to the characteristics of each user.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the drawings.
