Figure 2 shows a display of a stimulating medical service module according to an embodiment of the invention.

The details of other embodiments are included in the detailed description and drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention and the manner of achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art. Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

1, the controller 210 of the stimulus medical service module 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an MCU (Micro Controller Unit), and the stimulus intensity, stimulation time, And stores it in the memory.

The current providing unit 220 includes a current sensor and an operational amplifier. The current providing unit 220 supplies the current corresponding to the stimulation intensity, the stimulation time, and the number of stimulation to the controller 210, The stimulus intensity, and the number of times of stimulation using the current supplied from the current providing unit 220.

Here, the stimulus intensity is a DC current intensity, for example, about 0 to 2 mA, and the stimulation time is a time duration of the DC current intensity, for example, 10 to 30 Min, and the number of times of stimulation is a repetition number of times in which the intensity of the direct current is maintained, for example, once a day for 30 days.

The control unit 210 may further include a real time clock 230 for transmitting a real time to the control unit 210. When the number of times of the stimulation is two or more, The stimulation is controlled to be performed after the minimum time interval has elapsed. Here, the minimum time interval may be set to, for example, 4 hours or more. For example, if the stimulus intensity is a direct current of 1 mA, the stimulation time is 20 minutes, the number of stimulation is once per day for 30 days, and the minimum time interval is 4 hours, When executed at 23:00 on the first day, the second stimulus can only be executed after 3:00 pm on September 2, 2016.

In addition, the present invention can be configured to record and manage the information when the stimulation is not performed within one day. In other words, if 30 stimuli are set to be performed for 30 days from September 1 to September 30, but the stimulation is not performed between 0:00 and 24:00 on September 6, Can be recorded and managed. In this case, irrespective of the number of irreversible stimuli, it is desirable that the entire stimulation schedule is set to be completed on September 30, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the stimulation medical service module according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a separate battery 231 to supply power to the real time clock 230.

In addition, the control unit 210 further includes an alarm unit 240 that controls the controller 210 to inform the user of a recommended recommended time for performing the stimulation using the real time.

For example, if the stimulus intensity is a direct current of 1 mA, the stimulation time is 20 minutes, and the number of stimulation times is 30 days, the stimulation is performed at the same time for 30 days, 240).

The controller 210 further includes a memory unit 250 for controlling the controller 210 to store the time at which the stimulation was performed using the real time. Meanwhile, when the stimulation is stopped due to an unexpected situation or the like, the remaining stimulation time is stored in the memory unit 250. When the stimulation is subsequently performed, the control unit 210 reads the remaining The residual stimulation is performed using the stimulation time.

For example, when the stimulation intensity is a direct current of 1 mA, the stimulation time is 20 minutes, and the number of times of stimulation is once a day for 30 days, ).

Meanwhile, the control unit 210 displays the number of stimuli already performed and the number of stimuli that have not yet been executed, or controls the display unit 260 to display the remaining stimulation time.

Referring to FIG. 2, for example, if the stimulus intensity is 1 mA of direct current, the stimulation time is 20 minutes, and the number of stimulation is once per day for 30 days, A blue LED (Light Emitting Diode) is turned on to display once the number of times of stimulation already performed, 29 red LEDs are turned on, and 29 times, Or 20 on the display unit 260 as the remaining stimulation time, and when stimulation is performed, 19, 18, 17, ... , 2, 1, and 0, respectively.

Alternatively, it is also possible to display the remaining number of times of stimulation information by using the numerical information of the display unit 260, and display the remaining time information only when the stimulation is being performed.

For reference, when the stimulus medical service module of the present invention is used for in-hospital treatment rather than at home treatment, it may be unnecessary to display the number of remaining stimulation counts. Therefore, at this time, Can be configured to display meaningless information.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.

The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and equivalents thereof are to be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention do.
