Blood glucose meter construction with storage function

This creation relates to a blood glucose meter construction, in particular to a blood glucose meter construction with a storage function.

With the popularization of health care knowledge and the improvement of medical standards, the average life expectancy of Chinese people has gradually increased. However, with the changes in diet and living habits and the changes in the environment, the top ten causes of death in recent years have been mainly caused by chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipemia, heart disease and diabetes. These chronic diseases are often difficult to cure, but they can be controlled to avoid exacerbations or other complications.

For example, if diabetes is not monitored, it may cause acute complications such as hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperglycemia, high osmolality, non-ketoacidic coma (HHNK), and lactate, as well as eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Or chronic complications such as foot lesions. Diabetes monitoring relies on the patient's regular measurement of blood glucose to track changes in blood sugar.

However, at present, there is no reliable non-invasive measurement of blood glucose measurement, and the patient still has to rely on the invasive measurement method of blood collection by a needle, and the blood glucose level is analyzed by the blood glucose meter. Not only the psychological burden of the patients is aggravated, but also the various consumables (such as blood collection needles, blood glucose test strips and alcohol cotton tablets) required for blood collection also cause additional economic burden and inconvenience to the patients. For example, if a patient goes out to measure blood sugar, he or she needs to prepare medical equipment such as a blood glucose meter, a blood collection pen, a blood collection needle, and an alcohol cotton pad, which causes inconvenience for the patient to go out. And if one of the medical materials is not brought in due to omission, blood glucose measurement cannot be performed. In this way, it also hinders the patient from developing the habit of regularly measuring blood sugar.

Therefore, how to ensure that patients can prepare for the measurement of blood glucose, is a problem to be solved.

In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a blood glucose meter construction having a storage function, thereby solving the problems of the prior art.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a blood glucose meter structure having a storage function, comprising a box body, a cover body, an operation display interface, and a circuit module.

The casing has an opening. The inside of the casing is for accommodating at least one medical consumable. The cover is used to cover the opening of the case. The cover body defines a exterior and an interior space in a hollow shell shape. The cover body includes a test paper receiving port for receiving blood glucose test paper. The operation display interface is disposed on a surface outside the cover. The circuit module is disposed in the internal space and electrically connected to the operation display interface. The circuit module includes a test strip detection unit and a micro control unit. The test strip detection unit is used to detect blood glucose test strips. The micro control unit is electrically connected to the test strip detecting unit for calculating the detection result of the test strip receiving unit, and obtaining a blood sugar level, which is displayed on the operation display interface.

Through the embodiment of the present invention, the blood glucose meter structure can provide a space for various medical consumables (such as a blood collection needle, a blood glucose test paper, and an alcohol cotton sheet) required for blood collection, and can help the patient not to measure blood sugar due to omission. The required medical consumables are missing.

Here, the test strip detecting unit 310 can perform analysis by electrochemical, optical, and the like, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The micro control unit 330 is configured to calculate the detection result of the test strip receiving unit 310 to obtain a blood glucose level, and display the blood glucose level on the operation display interface 200. Herein, the operation display interface 200 can include a screen and at least one button for displaying the operation interface and the measurement result, and for the patient to operate the operation interface, but This creation is not limited to this. Screens and buttons can also be replaced by touch screens.

Here, the circuit module 300 can further include a memory 350. The memory 350 is electrically connected to the micro control unit 330 for recording blood sugar levels.

As shown in FIG. 3, the circuit module 300 may further include, for example, a communication unit 370, a sound output unit 380, an identity recognition unit 390, and the like. The communication unit 370 can be wired or wirelessly connected to a health management system (such as a computer, a remote server, a mobile phone, or a personal digital assistant (PDA)) to transmit the measured blood glucose value for blood glucose recording management. . The sound output unit 380 is configured to output a sound effect prompt or a voice description to assist the patient to operate the blood glucose meter. The identity recognition unit 390 can use an identity recognition method such as an electronic tag (RFID) or a fingerprint to identify the patient's identity of the blood glucose meter, so that the health management system can record the blood glucose value to the database, or for the blood glucose meter. The past blood glucose of the patient should be recorded in the operation display interface 200.

In addition, the blood glucose meter structure may further include a detection module (not shown). The detection module can be disposed in the space partition 410 and electrically connected to the micro control unit 330 for detecting the accommodating space 430. When it is detected that the accommodating space 430 is vacant, the micro control unit 330 displays a warning message on the operation display interface 200. In this way, when the medical consumable 500 is used up, the patient can know that the medical consumable 500 has been used up according to the warning message, thereby reminding the patient to supplement the medical consumable 500.

The detection module can detect whether the accommodating space 430 is vacant by means of optical occlusion detection or ultrasonic distance measurement, but the creation is not limited thereto.
