Are doing.

Referring to FIG. 1, when a medical device is a device used during surgery, a medical device is installed in a surgical environment similar to an operating room so that a medical person can use it, and when it is used for diagnosis or reading, a diagnosis room or reading is performed. After preparing an environment such as a monitoring room, a medical professional uses it in the environment, and then describes the error that occurred during use, performs the evaluation, reflects it on the medical device product, and corrects it. An example of such an evaluation can be explained with reference to the table below,

work Participant Detail Connecting instruments to the dental table SUBJECT 1 The hose is similar in shape, so other instruments are connected to the handpiece outlet instead of the handpiece. After seeing that the handpiece does not work, reconnect after checking that the hose is incorrectly inserted. SUBJECT 2 When connecting the water outlet, the fixing pin for fixing is not properly inserted. After discovering that water is leaking, reconnecting after recognizing that the fixing pin was incorrectly inserted Termination of treatment tables and equipment SUBJECT 3 Press the light switch on the main unit as a power switch and press it once. After confirming that the power is not turned off, recognize that it is a light button and turn off the power using the power switch. SUBJECT 4 SUBJECT 5

In the case of equipment used in a medical environment by connecting an instrument to a dental treatment table, participant SUBJECT 1 connected the handpiece and other instruments to use the equipment, but immediately recognized the handpiece after confirming that the handpiece was not working properly. It was described that the piece connection tube was properly connected again, and the other participant SUBJECT 2 also connected the water outlet, but the fixing pin was not properly inserted, so that the water leak was confirmed and reconnected. If such a misconnection occurs in the actual medical treatment environment and the treatment is delayed or the equipment is operated incorrectly, it may have a fatal effect on the patient. Therefore, if the connection between the treatment table and the equipment is frequently found by participants in the suitability evaluation, Since the guide display is not enough, corrections for the user interface readability must be applied to the sample of the product. In the case of shutting down the treatment table and equipment, it is necessary to turn off the power of the device by pressing the power switch in the work to turn off the power after the equipment is used up.Many participants (SUBJECT 3, SUBJECT 4, SUBJECT 5) switch off the lights. Here is an example of the result of misrecognizing the power switch and pressing it through the result of the suitability evaluation. In this case, it is also necessary to modify the lighting switch so that it is not mistaken as a power switch, and this must be applied to the product sample.

However, in the case of the current use suitability evaluation method, a real sample must be produced and then reproduced by reflecting the revisions in the evaluation, which may cause time and economic damage to the companies that produce medical devices. In addition, costs are incurred for artificially configuring an environment similar to the actual use environment, and if evaluation is required across several institutions including hospitals because the evaluation must be performed physically within the environment, it cannot be conducted simultaneously at several institutions. Therefore, it may take a lot of time to evaluate the suitability for use. In addition, in the case of medical devices that are to be used by patients with dizziness or glaucoma, accurate assessment of suitability for use is not possible because the degree of awareness of the surrounding environment of patients with dizziness or glaucoma is different from that of the medical personnel performing the suitability evaluation. It was difficult to achieve.

The apparatus 200 for evaluating suitability for use of medical devices includes an input unit 210 that senses a user's motion or reaction and obtains it as a user input, a storage unit 220 storing virtual reality (VR) content, and a control unit 230 And a display unit 240 that displays or presents virtual reality content or an image to a user.

The input unit 210 may include a human motion sensing unit (not shown) such as an acceleration sensor or an inertial sensor, and senses a user's motion to obtain a user input. In addition, the input unit 210 is presented through the display unit 240 and may include a pressing unit (not shown) such as a control pad and a button for moving a cursor indicating virtual content to select a virtual object.

The storage unit 220 is a virtual evaluation target device content 222 for an evaluation target device, a virtual peripheral device content 224 for a peripheral device that is predefined as necessary to use the evaluation target device, and the evaluation target device is used. It may include a virtual space content 226 in which the used space to be used is produced as a virtual space and user environment content 228 related to a user environment in which the device to be evaluated is used. Content in such a storage unit may be implemented as a three-dimensional virtual (VR) image.

The evaluation target device content 222 includes contents related to medical devices used by medical personnel in operating rooms, reading rooms, and diagnosis rooms of hospitals, and for assisting life of patients with dizziness or glaucoma with a narrow field of view. Contents related to medical devices used in the environment may be included. The medical device may be a home medical device, and representative home medical devices may include a blood pressure monitor, a blood glucose meter, and the like. In addition, the medical device to be evaluated may be a medical device used by one person or a medical device that is used in a predetermined operation by sharing roles of two or more people. The evaluation target device content 222 may include a use scenario corresponding to each type. The usage scenario may be based on at least part of the contents of a user manual referenced for use of the medical device when a product of the medical device is manufactured.

The peripheral device content 224 may include content related to a power cable, a network cable, an adapter, etc. required to use the device to be evaluated, and the content of the peripheral device 224 required for use for each content of the device to be evaluated 222 is previously It may be defined and mapped.

The virtual space contents 226 may include contents in which an operating room, a diagnosis room, a reading room, or a general family house in which a patient resides or an inpatient room in which a patient lives, as a virtual space.

The user environment attribute 228 may include a content attribute related to a viewing condition of a normal person, a viewing condition of a shaking screen of a dizziness patient, or a viewing condition having a narrower viewing range than a normal person, such as a glaucoma patient.

The control unit 230 may include a content combining unit 232 and an evaluation unit 236.

The content combining unit 232 selects the content of the device to be evaluated selected by a user input through the input unit 210 from among the content stored in the storage unit 220 and the content of the peripheral device mapped thereto according to the selected content of the device to be evaluated. After loading, the evaluation target device content and the virtual space content corresponding to the environment in which the peripheral device content will be used are selected and loaded, and then the selected evaluation target device content, the peripheral device content, and the virtual space content may be combined.

The evaluation unit 236 transfers the virtual combined content to the input unit 210 based on a user's action or reaction according to a usage scenario presented through the display unit 240 of a medical device evaluation device (for example, a virtual reality device). The user input value obtained by this method is received, and an evaluation result regarding whether the user used the medical device to be evaluated in a correct manner is derived by comparing it with a predetermined action or reaction value for correct use. As an example of the criterion for determining whether or not it was used in the correct way, there are fertilization of the connection location of the treatment table and equipment, and whether the appropriate button (light button) has been pressed for the required operation (e.g., a situation where a light is needed). I can. At this time, if the connection between the treatment table and the equipment is incorrectly connected, or if the power off button or the beep button is pressed in a working situation where the light button has to be pressed, the evaluation unit will determine what error the user made in what working situation.

It can be loaded from and reflected as a display characteristic of the combined content. The user's condition may be, for example, one of normal, dizziness, and glaucoma. When normal is selected, the property of the virtual combined content produced by the content combining unit 232 may be presented to the user through the display unit 240 as it is. When the selected attribute is dizziness, an afterimage symptom, for example, an afterimage effect, which appears to a patient when the symptom of dizziness occurs, may be reflected on the screen of the display unit 240 of the medical device suitability evaluation apparatus 200. When the selected attribute is glaucoma, the viewing range of at least a part of the virtual combined content presented through the display unit 240 of the medical device suitability evaluation apparatus 200 may be marked in black so that the user cannot see it.

Meanwhile, when the user selects the medical device to be evaluated, the user environment attribute to be reflected in the combined content may be determined and reflected by the attribute reflecting unit 234 to determine a user state predetermined by the type of the medical device to be evaluated. . For example, in the case of an evaluation target medical device for assisting life of a dizziness patient, the virtual combined content presented through the medical device suitability evaluation apparatus 200 may be displayed with an afterimage effect added without a separate user selection. .

The synchronization unit 238 includes combined content presented by the medical device use suitability evaluation apparatus 200 worn by the first user when at least two users must simultaneously operate in their respective roles for the medical device to be evaluated, Synchronization according to time and space between combined contents presented by the apparatus 200 for evaluating the suitability of use of a medical device worn by the second user may be performed. For example, in the case of a cardiac shock device used to apply an electric shock to the heart during surgery, two medical devices: a doctor who must attach the electrode to the patient while holding it connected, and a nurse who must press the output button of the device. A medical device that may exist as a user of and is used by a plurality of users may be subject to use suitability evaluation. In this case, a first user who uses the device to be evaluated as a role of a doctor and a second user who uses the device to be evaluated as a role of a nurse are required, and the first medical device use suitability evaluation device worn by the first user and , Since it is essential to synchronize the 3D image presented to the medical device suitability evaluation device worn by the second user, the first and second medical device use suitability evaluation before or immediately after presenting the combined content to each user Synchronization between devices can be achieved.

After synchronization is achieved, both the movements of the first and second users are sensed, their movements are reflected in the same virtual combined content in real time and displayed, taking into account both the movements of the first and second users, and suitable for use. Evaluation results can also be derived.

The display unit 240 may display the combined content in which the user environment attribute determined by the attribute reflector 234 is reflected to the user as a virtual reality image.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for evaluating a suitability for use of a medical device using the apparatus 200 for evaluating suitability for use of a medical device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user wears the medical device suitability evaluation apparatus 200, a plurality of evaluation target device content images capable of evaluating the suitability for use of the medical device using the device are presented to the user. In this case, the content image may be a virtual reality image or a 3D image.

When the user selects a specific evaluation target device for the medical device suitability evaluation among them (S802), the medical device suitability evaluation apparatus 200 loads the peripheral device content mapped to the selected evaluation target device (S810). In this case, when selecting an evaluation target device, the user may select a device to be selected from among a plurality of evaluation target devices presented as a 3D virtual (VR) image by moving an object corresponding to a hand in the virtual display. In addition, it may be selected using a cursor pointing to the device to be evaluated, an adjustment pad to move it, and a push button.

In addition, the user selects a virtual space in which the selected evaluation target device is to be located (S801). The virtual space may be selected based on the user's judgment, and a virtual space in which the device to be evaluated is mainly used is predefined, and thus may be automatically selected by the apparatus 200 for evaluating the suitability of use of the medical device.

Meanwhile, the user selects a user environment attribute in consideration of whether the user who will mainly use the selected evaluation target device is a normal person or a patient with audiovisual symptoms (S803). In this case, since a user type that will mainly use the device to be evaluated is predefined, the user environment attribute may be automatically selected by the apparatus 200 for evaluating suitability for use of the medical device.

Next, the medical device suitability evaluation apparatus 200 generates combined contents by combining the selected evaluation target device contents, the mapped related peripheral device contents, and the selected virtual space, and the user to evaluate the suitability of the corresponding evaluation target device for use of the medical device. The combined content is generated by including the usage scenario to be followed in the combined content, and then the combined content is presented to the user (S820). Here, the usage scenario may be predetermined according to the type or type of the device to be evaluated. In addition, the selected user environment attribute may be reflected in the combined content presented to the user and displayed. At this time, when dizziness is selected as the user environment attribute, an afterimage effect is added to the screen of the combined content, so that a screen with less clarity, a shorter viewing distance, or a lower object identification ability than when a normal person is selected may be presented. have.

While viewing the presented combined content, the user takes a motion to move, a motion to hold a device with a hand, etc. according to the presented usage scenario, and the virtual reality device 200 senses it, and based on the sensed user motion, the device to be evaluated A usability evaluation for can be performed (S830). At this time, as a result of the suitability evaluation, the part that needs to be modified in the currently produced virtual evaluation target device content, for example, increase the user's identification of the output button or change the shape of the plug inserted in the tube. You can derive what you need.

Finally, the evaluation result is output and stored (S840). At this time, when the evaluation target device requires sequential and cumulative evaluation by a plurality of users, the stored evaluation result is reloaded, and steps for other users (S801, S802, S803, S810, S820, S830, S840) After performing, it is possible to store all the results of the usability evaluation performed, and to output the final evaluation result for conformity by considering all the stored results.

On the other hand, although not shown in the flow chart, there may be devices that two or more people use according to their respective roles depending on the type of device to be evaluated. In this case, the first user and the second user are each device for evaluating suitability for use of medical devices. Wearing and, if one of the first user and the second user, who is assigned the master role, performs steps (S801 to S803), the same virtual combined content is provided to each user from step S820 to experience the same virtual space. Can be done. At this time, for proper evaluation, synchronization of the virtual image presented on the first medical device use suitability evaluation device worn by the first user and the second medical device use suitability evaluation device worn by the second user is essential. Synchronization between medical device suitability evaluation devices may be achieved before or immediately after the combined content is presented to the user.

After that, both the movements of the first and second users are sensed, their movements are reflected in the virtual combined content in real time and displayed, and the usability evaluation result is derived by considering both the movements of the first and second users. You may.

The medical device usability evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above may be implemented by a computer program including an instruction to perform it and stored in a computer-readable storage medium, and stored in a computer-readable storage medium.
