Description

個別測定データ補正システムおよび補正データ作成方法Individual measurement data correction system and correction data creation method
　この発明は、人物及びその他の動物を測定対象として、個々の当該測定対象に対し、補正対象となる測定機器を用いて取得した測定データを個別に補正するための個別測定データ補正システムに関する。さらに、この発明は、上記個別測定データ補正システムに用いられる補正データを作成するための補正データ作成方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an individual measurement data correction system for individually correcting measurement data acquired using a measurement device to be corrected with respect to individual measurement targets, with a person and other animals as measurement targets. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a correction data generation method for generating correction data used in the individual measurement data correction system.
　例えば、赤外線体温計は、被測定者（測定対象）の額部等に赤外線センサ部を向け、被測定者から放射されている赤外線を非接触で検出することにより、被測定者の皮膚表面温度を測定できる機能を有している。かかる赤外線体温計は、きわめて短時間で被測定者の皮膚表面温度を測定することができる。したがって、近年は、日々多くの人を検温する必要のある病院や介護施設等において、この赤外線体温計の利用頻度が増加してきている。 For example, the infrared thermometer directs the infrared sensor unit to the forehead or the like of the subject (target to be measured) and non-contactly detects the infrared radiation emitted from the subject to measure the skin surface temperature of the subject. It has a function that can be measured. Such an infrared thermometer can measure the skin surface temperature of the subject in a very short time. Therefore, in recent years, the frequency of use of this infrared thermometer has been increasing in hospitals and nursing facilities where it is necessary to temperature-check a large number of people every day.
　さて、一般に、病気の診断や体調管理においては、被測定者の腋窩や口腔の体温が使われている。ここで、腋窩や口腔の体温測定には、サーミスタを利用した電子式体温計等の接触式体温計が使用される。しかし、これら接触式の体温計は、赤外線体温計に比べて測定時間が長く、多くの被測定者に対して効率的に検温することができない。 Now, in general, the temperature of the subject's axilla and oral cavity is used in disease diagnosis and physical condition management. Here, a contact thermometer such as an electronic thermometer using a thermistor is used to measure the temperature of the axilla and the oral cavity. However, these contact-type thermometers have a longer measurement time than infrared thermometers, and can not perform temperature measurement efficiently for many subjects.
　一方、赤外線体温計は、測定した被測定者の皮膚表面温度から、あらかじめ設定した推定関数を用いて、腋窩体温や口腔体温を推定し、その推定結果を被測定者の体温として表示する機能を備えている。具体的には、臨床評価により得られた多人数の皮膚表面温度と腋窩体温（又は口腔体温）との組み合わせデータを解析し、分布の最頻値や平均値をベースにした体温推定関数や照合テーブルが作成される。そして、すべての被測定者に対して共通の推定関数を用いて、皮膚表面温度の測定データから、腋窩体温や口腔体温への推定計算が行われる。 On the other hand, the infrared thermometer has a function to estimate the axillary body temperature and the oral cavity temperature from the measured skin surface temperature of the subject using the estimation function set in advance and display the estimation result as the subject's body temperature. ing. Specifically, the combination data of the skin surface temperature and axillary body temperature (or oral body temperature) of a large number of persons obtained by clinical evaluation is analyzed, and a temperature estimation function or collation based on the mode or average value of the distribution A table is created. And estimation calculation to axillary body temperature and oral cavity body temperature is performed from measurement data of skin surface temperature using a common estimation function to all subjects.
　上述したように、日々多くの人を検温する必要のある病院や介護施設等においては、看護師や介護士等の担当者が、赤外線体温計を携帯し、多数の被測定者（患者や入所者）の体温を測定している。しかし、それら多数の被測定者の中には、皮膚表面温度と腋窩体温（又は口腔体温）との関係が、上述した分布の最頻値や平均値に入らない被測定者も存在する。例えば、赤外線体温計で測定した額部の皮膚温度が、一般の被測定者よりも常に高い測定結果となったり、逆に低い測定結果となったりする被測定者が、少数ではあるが存在する。 As mentioned above, in hospitals and nursing facilities where it is necessary to measure many people daily, persons in charge such as nurses and carers carry infrared thermometers, and a large number of test persons (patients and residents The body temperature of) is measured. However, among such a large number of subjects, there are also subjects whose relationship between skin surface temperature and axillary body temperature (or oral body temperature) does not fall within the above-described mode or average value of the distribution. For example, the skin temperature of the forehead portion measured with an infrared thermometer is always higher than that of a general subject, or conversely, there are a small number of subjects whose measurement results are lower.
　ゆえに、すべての被測定者に対して共通の推定関数を用いて、皮膚表面温度の測定データから腋窩体温や口腔体温への推定計算を行った場合、これら皮膚温度が高い（又は低い）測定結果を示す少数の被測定者に関しては、算出された腋窩体温や口腔体温が、本来の体温よりも高い（又は低い）結果となってしまう。 Therefore, when estimation calculation to axillary body temperature and oral cavity temperature is performed from measurement data of skin surface temperature using a common estimation function for all subjects, measurement results of these skin temperatures are high (or low). In the case of a small number of test persons who show that, the calculated axillary body temperature and the oral cavity body temperature result in being higher (or lower) than the original body temperature.
　個人が、赤外線体温計を使って検温する場合は、その赤外線体温計による測定結果の傾向を把握することで、個人の認識において平常時よりも熱が高いか否かを判断することができる。
　しかし、看護師や介護士等の担当者が、赤外線体温計を携帯して、多数の被測定者（患者や入所者）の体温を測定し、その測定結果を管理している状況下においては、その担当者が個々の被測定者に関し、測定結果の個別的な傾向を把握することは困難であった。 When an individual uses an infrared thermometer to measure temperature, it is possible to determine whether the heat is higher than usual in individual recognition by grasping the tendency of the measurement result by the infrared thermometer.
However, under the circumstances where a person in charge such as a nurse or a carer carries the infrared thermometer, measures the temperature of a large number of persons to be measured (patients and residents), and manages the measurement results, It was difficult for the person in charge to grasp the individual tendency of the measurement results for each individual person to be measured.
　また、特許文献１（特開平７－１９０８６１号公報）には、非接触式温度計と接触式温度計とが補正装置に接続された温度測定装置が開示されている。この温度測定装置は、非接触式温度計と接触式温度計とでそれぞれ被測定物の温度を測定し、接触式温度計の測定値に一致するように非接触式温度計の放射率測定値を補正する構成となっている。 Further, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-190861) discloses a temperature measurement device in which a noncontact thermometer and a contact thermometer are connected to a correction device. This temperature measurement device measures the temperature of the object with the noncontact thermometer and the contact thermometer respectively, and the emissivity measurement value of the noncontact thermometer so as to match the measurement value of the contact thermometer. Is corrected.
　かかる特許文献１の温度測定装置は、同文献１の明細書段落「０００５」に記載されているとおり、時間の経過に伴い被測定物の放射率が大きく変化していくことを前提として、非接触式温度計の放射率測定値を補正している。このように放射率が大きく変化する測定対象には、特許文献１の温度測定装置は有効である。 As described in paragraph [0005] of the specification of Patent Document 1, the temperature measurement device of Patent Document 1 assumes that the emissivity of the object to be measured changes significantly with the passage of time. It corrects the emissivity measurement value of the contact thermometer. The temperature measurement device of Patent Document 1 is effective for the measurement target where the emissivity changes greatly as described above.
　しかし、測定対象が人間や恒温動物の皮膚表面の場合、測定対象の種類に応じて皮膚表面の放射率はほぼ共通し、かつ時間経過による変動も少ない。一方、人間や恒温動物の皮膚表面の温度は、個々の測定対象や測定部位により異なっている。このような特性を有する人間や恒温動物を測定対象とする場合に、放射率を補正してしまうと、本来正確に測定されていたはずの皮膚表面温度を、異なる温度に変えてしまうことになる。そのため、却って測定誤差を大きくしてしまうおそれがある。 However, when the measurement target is the skin surface of a human being or a homeothermic animal, the emissivity of the skin surface is almost common depending on the type of the measurement target, and the fluctuation due to the passage of time is small. On the other hand, the temperature of the skin surface of a human being or a homeothermic animal differs depending on the individual measurement object or measurement site. When emissivity is corrected in the case of measuring human beings or homeothermic animals having such characteristics, the skin surface temperature which should have been accurately measured will be changed to a different temperature. . Therefore, there is a possibility that the measurement error may be increased.
　また、特許文献１の温度測定装置では、所定時間が経過するたびに接触式温度計による測定が必要となるので、体温測定の更なる効率化を図る上で障害となる。 Moreover, in the temperature measurement device of Patent Document 1, since measurement with a contact type thermometer is required each time a predetermined time has elapsed, it becomes an obstacle in achieving further efficiency improvement of body temperature measurement.
特開平７－１９０８６１号公報Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open 7-190861
　本発明は、上述した事情に鑑みなされたもので、特に測定担当者が測定機器を用いて多数の測定対象に対して測定を繰り返す必要のある状況において、個々の測定対象から取得した測定データのそれぞれを高精度に補正することを目的とする。さらに、本発明は、測定担当者による測定作業の効率化を図ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and in particular, in a situation where a person in charge of measurement needs to repeat measurements on a large number of measurement targets using measurement instruments, measurement data obtained from individual measurement targets The purpose is to correct each with high accuracy. Another object of the present invention is to improve the efficiency of measurement work by a person in charge of measurement.
　上記目的を達成するために、本発明に係る個別測定データ補正システムは、人物及びその他の動物を測定対象として、個々の当該測定対象に対し、補正対象となる測定機器を用いて取得した測定データを個別に補正するためのシステムであって、
　個別の測定対象に対して作成した補正データを保存する補正データ保存手段と、
　個別の測定対象を認識する測定対象照合手段と、
　測定対象照合手段によって認識した個別の測定対象に対し、補正対象となる測定機器を用いて取得した測定データを、補正データ保存手段に保存された当該個別の測定対象に関する補正データに基づいて補正する測定データ補正手段と、を備えたことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, an individual measurement data correction system according to the present invention is a measurement data obtained by measuring a person and other animals as measurement targets, using a measurement device to be corrected for each measurement target. A system for correcting individual
Correction data storage means for storing correction data created for individual measurement targets;
Measuring object matching means for recognizing individual measuring objects;
The measurement data acquired by using the measurement device to be corrected is corrected based on the correction data on the individual measurement object stored in the correction data storage unit, with respect to the individual measurement target recognized by the measurement target collating unit And measurement data correction means.
　上述した構成の本発明に係る個別測定データ補正システムでは、あらかじめ個別の測定対象に対してそれぞれの補正データを個々に作成し、補正データ保存手段に保存しておく。従来は、このように個別の測定対象に対し、それぞれの補正データを個々に作成することは行われていなかった。 In the individual measurement data correction system according to the present invention configured as described above, each correction data is individually created in advance for each individual measurement target, and stored in the correction data storage means. Conventionally, such correction data has not been created individually for individual measurement targets.
　そして、測定データ補正手段が、個別の測定対象から取得した測定データを、その測定対象に関する補正データに基づいて個別に補正するので、当該測定対象に独自の特性に関わりなく、各測定対象に対し高精度な測定データの補正を行うことができる。
　しかも、測定担当者が測定作業のたびに毎回補正に必要となる追加作業（例えば、接触式体温計での測定作業）を実施する必要がないので、測定担当者による測定作業の効率化を図ることができる。 Then, since the measurement data correction means individually corrects the measurement data acquired from the individual measurement targets based on the correction data regarding the measurement targets, the measurement data correction unit applies to each measurement target regardless of the characteristic unique to the measurement target. It is possible to correct measurement data with high accuracy.
Moreover, since the person in charge of measurement does not have to carry out additional work (for example, measurement with a contact type thermometer) which is necessary for correction every time measurement is performed, the efficiency of the measurement work by the person in charge of measurement can be improved. Can.
　本発明は、例えば、赤外線体温計等の非接触式の体温計に関する測定データの補正に適用することができる。
　すなわち、補正対象となる測定機器を体温計とした場合に、測定データは、測定対象に対しあらかじめ特定した体温測定部位を測定して取得した体温の測定データとなる。例えば、被測定者の額部の皮膚表面温度を、赤外線体温計により測定した値が測定データとなる。
　そして、補正データは、個別の測定対象から、測定データと共に取得した基準体温データに基づき作成された体温に関するデータとなる。ここで、基準体温データは、あらかじめ設定した基準の体温計を用いて、あらかじめ特定した基準の体温測定部位を測定して取得した基準体温に関するデータとすることが好ましい。例えば、非測定者の腋窩や口腔の体温を接触式の体温計により測定した値が基準体温データとなり、この基準体温データに基づき体温に関する補正データが作成される。 The present invention can be applied, for example, to correction of measurement data related to a noncontact thermometer such as an infrared thermometer.
That is, when the measurement device to be corrected is a thermometer, the measurement data is the measurement data of the body temperature obtained by measuring the temperature measurement site specified in advance for the measurement target. For example, a value obtained by measuring the skin surface temperature of the forehead of the subject using an infrared thermometer is the measurement data.
And correction data turns into data about a body temperature created based on reference body temperature data acquired with measurement data from each measurement subject. Here, it is preferable that the reference body temperature data be data on the reference body temperature acquired by measuring a previously-determined reference body temperature measurement site using a reference thermometer set in advance. For example, a value obtained by measuring the temperature of the axilla or oral cavity of a non-measurement person using a contact-type thermometer serves as reference temperature data, and correction data regarding the temperature is created based on the reference temperature data.
　このように、本発明は、基準体温データに基づき体温に関する補正データを作成し、この補正データにより測定データを補正する構成としてあり、赤外線放射率を補正対象としていないので、赤外線の放射率が同じで皮膚表面温度が異なるような測定対象（例えば、人間や恒温動物）に対しても、測定データを高精度に補正することができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, correction data regarding body temperature is created based on reference body temperature data, and measurement data is corrected using this correction data. Since infrared emissivity is not a correction target, the infrared emissivity is the same. The measurement data can be corrected with high accuracy even for a measurement target (for example, a human being or a homeothermic animal) whose skin surface temperature differs.
　測定対象照合手段は、例えば、
　個別の測定対象ごとに設定された個別の識別情報を記録するとともに、当該個別の測定対象に付与される識別情報記録媒体と、
　個別の測定対象ごとに設定された各識別情報を、当該個別の測定対象と関連付けて保存する識別情報保存手段と、
　識別情報記録媒体に記録された識別情報を読み取る識別情報読取手段と、
　識別情報読取手段により読み取られた識別情報を、識別情報保存手段に保存された識別情報と照合し、当該識別情報に関連付けられた測定対象を認識する測定対象認識手段と、を含む構成とすることができる。 For example,
An individual identification information set for each individual measurement object is recorded, and an identification information recording medium given to the individual measurement object,
Identification information storage means for storing each identification information set for each individual measurement object in association with the individual measurement object;
Identification information reading means for reading identification information recorded on an identification information recording medium;
The identification information read by the identification information reading means is collated with the identification information stored in the identification information storage means, and a measurement object recognition means for recognizing the measurement object associated with the identification information is provided. Can.
　また、本発明に係る補正データ作成方法は、上述した個別測定データ補正システムに用いられる補正データを作成する方法であって、
　個別の測定対象に対し、あらかじめ特定した体温測定部位を、補正対象となる測定機器により測定して体温の測定データを取得する測定データ取得工程と、
　個別の測定対象に対し、あらかじめ特定した基準の体温測定部位を、あらかじめ設定した基準の体温計により測定して基準体温データを取得する基準体温データ取得工程と、を含み、
　各工程のセットを、任意の時間間隔をおいて複数回実施することで、個別の測定対象に対し、測定データ及び基準体温データの対データを複数取得し、
　これら複数の対データに基づいて、個別の測定対象に対する補正データを作成することを特徴とする。 Further, a correction data generation method according to the present invention is a method of generating correction data to be used in the above-described individual measurement data correction system,
A measurement data acquisition step of acquiring temperature measurement data by measuring a temperature measurement site specified in advance with respect to an individual measurement target using a measurement device to be corrected;
A reference body temperature data acquiring step of acquiring a reference body temperature data by measuring a predetermined reference body temperature measurement part with a reference thermometer set in advance for individual measurement targets;
Multiple sets of measurement data and reference body temperature data are acquired for each measurement target by performing each process set multiple times at arbitrary time intervals,
It is characterized in that correction data for an individual measurement object is created based on the plurality of pairs of data.
　補正データは、あらかじめ個別の測定対象に対し、例えば上述した補正データ作成方法を用いて作成され、補正データ保存手段に保存される。 The correction data is created in advance, for example, using the above-described correction data generation method for individual measurement objects, and is stored in the correction data storage unit.
　なお、測定データ取得工程で取得した測定データと、基準体温データ取得工程で取得した基準体温データとの間には、相関関係が保持されている必要がある。すなわち、これらの各工程でそれぞれ取得した測定データと基準体温データとの間に相関関係が保持される時間内で、これら各工程を実施することが好ましい。 In addition, a correlation needs to be held between the measurement data acquired in the measurement data acquisition process and the reference body temperature data acquired in the reference body temperature data acquisition process. That is, it is preferable to carry out each of these steps within the time in which the correlation is maintained between the measurement data acquired in each of these steps and the reference body temperature data.
　例えば、測定データ（又は基準体温データ）を取得してから、基準体温データ（又は測定データ）を取得するまでの間に、測定対象の体調や周囲環境等が変化した場合、それらが変動要因となって測定データと基準体温データとの間の相関関係が崩れてしまうおそれがある。
　相関関係が崩れた基準体温データと測定データを用いても、高精度な補正データを作成することはできない。よって、測定データ取得工程と基準体温データ取得工程は、あまり時間間隔をおくことなく実施することが好ましい。 For example, if the physical condition of the object to be measured, the surrounding environment, and the like change after the measurement data (or reference body temperature data) is acquired and before the reference body temperature data (or measurement data) is acquired, they are considered as variation factors. As a result, the correlation between the measurement data and the reference body temperature data may be broken.
Even if the reference body temperature data and the measurement data whose correlation is broken can not be used, highly accurate correction data can not be created. Therefore, it is preferable to carry out the measurement data acquisition process and the reference body temperature data acquisition process without much time interval.
　以上説明したように、本発明によれば、個別の測定対象から取得した測定データを、その測定対象に関する補正データに基づいて補正するので、個々の測定対象に関して高精度な測定データの補正を行うことができる。
　しかも、測定担当者が測定作業のたびに毎回補正に必要となる追加作業を実施する必要がないので、測定担当者による測定作業の効率化を図ることができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, measurement data acquired from an individual measurement object is corrected based on correction data relating to the measurement object, so that highly accurate measurement data correction is performed for each measurement object. be able to.
In addition, since the person in charge of measurement does not have to carry out the additional work necessary for correction every time the measurement work is performed, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the measurement work by the person in charge of measurement.

　本実施形態では、日々多くの人を検温する必要のある病院や介護施設等において、看護師や介護士等の測定担当者が、赤外線体温計を携帯し、多数の被測定者（患者や入所者等の測定対象）を検温する場合に好適な個別測定データ補正システムについて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, at a hospital or a nursing facility where it is necessary to measure a large number of people daily, a person in charge of measurement such as a nurse or a carer carries an infrared thermometer, and a large number of test persons (patients and residents An individual measurement data correction system suitable for measuring a temperature of a measurement object (e.g.
　一般に、病院や介護施設等においては、安静な状態（運動や歩行の直後でない状態）の患者や入所者（被測定者）に対して、室温がほぼ一定に保たれた病室で、朝夕ほぼ決まった時刻に、看護師や介護士等の測定担当者により、平熱時の検温が行われる。朝と夕方に検温するのは、体温には概日リズムがあり、朝夕で差が見られることが知られているからである。一方、発熱時はこれと異なる状態になるため、これにより体調不良や罹患等を早期発見することができる。 Generally, in a hospital or nursing home, etc., in the hospital room where the room temperature is kept substantially constant, for the patient and the residents (patients to be measured) in a resting state (state not immediately after exercise or walking) At the same time, a measurement person at the time of normal heat is performed by a measurement person in charge such as a nurse or a carer. The temperature is measured in the morning and in the evening because the body temperature is known to have a circadian rhythm and that differences can be seen in the morning and evening. On the other hand, since it will be in a different state from this at the time of fever, poor physical condition and morbidity etc. can be detected at an early stage.
　病院、老人介護施設等では、患者や入所者ごとに識別情報（ＩＤ）が付与され、個々の患者や入所者毎に日々の体温や健康状態を紙カルテや電子カルテに記録し管理していることが多い。 In hospitals and nursing homes, identification information (ID) is given to each patient and resident, and daily temperature and health status are recorded and managed in paper and electronic medical records for each patient and resident. There are many things.
〔個別測定データ補正システムの全体構造〕
　図１は、本実施形態に係る個別測定データ補正システムの全体構成を示すブロック図である。
　本実施形態では、補正対象となる測定機器として赤外線体温計１（非接触式体温計）を用いて、例えば、被測定者の額部の皮膚表面温度を体温の測定データとして取得する。また、補正データの作成に必要となる基準の体温計として電子式体温計２（接触式体温計）を用いて、例えば、被測定者の腋窩の体温を基準体温データとして取得する。 [Overall structure of individual measurement data correction system]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an entire configuration of an individual measurement data correction system according to the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, for example, the skin surface temperature of the forehead of the person to be measured is acquired as measurement data of the body temperature using the infrared thermometer 1 (non-contact type thermometer) as the measurement device to be corrected. In addition, using the electronic thermometer 2 (contact thermometer) as a reference thermometer necessary for creating correction data, for example, the temperature of the axilla of the subject is acquired as reference body temperature data.
　赤外線温度計により取得した測定データを信頼性の高い体温に関するデータに補正するための主な構成要素は、システム本体装置３に組み込まれている。本実施形態では、汎用のパーソナルコンピュータによってシステム本体装置３を構築している。なお、システム本体装置３を構築するパーソナルコンピュータは、測定担当者が個々の患者や入所者のもとへ赤外線体温計１とともに容易に持ち運ぶことができるものがよく、例えば、スマートフォンやノート型又はタブレット型のパーソナルコンピュータ（端末）とすることが好ましい。本実施形態では、具体的には、搬送用のカートにシステム本体装置３（パーソナルコンピュータ）を搭載して、個々の患者や入所者を巡回して検温を実施する。 The main components for correcting the measurement data acquired by the infrared thermometer into data on reliable body temperature are incorporated in the system main unit 3. In the present embodiment, the system main unit 3 is constructed by a general-purpose personal computer. It is preferable that the personal computer constructing the system main unit 3 can be easily carried by the person in charge of measurement together with the infrared thermometer 1 to individual patients or residents. For example, a smartphone, a notebook type or a tablet type It is preferable to use a personal computer (terminal) of Specifically, in the present embodiment, the system body device 3 (personal computer) is mounted on a transport cart, and temperature measurement is performed by traveling around individual patients and residents.
　システム本体装置３には、識別情報保存部１１、測定対象認識部１２、補正データ保存部１３、測定データ補正部１４、補正済み測定データ保存部１５、読取部１６の各構成要素が組み込まれている。
　これらの構成要素のうち、データの保存に関わる識別情報保存部１１、補正データ保存部１３、補正済み測定データ保存部１５は、具体的にはパーソナルコンピュータの記憶装置によって構築される。また、測定対象認識部１２、測定データ補正部１４、補正データ作成部２１は、これら各構成要素の機能がプログラムされ、あらかじめパーソナルコンピュータにインストールされたソフトウエアと、当該ソフトウエアのプログラムに基づく処理を実行するパーソナルコンピュータの中央処理装置（ＣＰＵ）とによって構築される。 Each component of the identification information storage unit 11, the measurement object recognition unit 12, the correction data storage unit 13, the measurement data correction unit 14, the corrected measurement data storage unit 15, and the reading unit 16 is incorporated in the system main body device 3. There is.
Among these components, the identification information storage unit 11 related to data storage, the correction data storage unit 13 and the corrected measurement data storage unit 15 are specifically constructed by a storage device of a personal computer. The measurement object recognition unit 12, the measurement data correction unit 14, and the correction data creation unit 21 are programmed based on the functions of these components, and are pre-installed on the personal computer with software and processing based on the program of the software. And a central processing unit (CPU) of a personal computer.
　赤外線体温計１には、測定データを送信するための測定データ送信部１ａが内蔵してあり、この測定データ送信部１ａからシステム本体装置３の読取部１６へと、測定データを送信できる機能を有している。 The infrared thermometer 1 has a built-in measurement data transmission unit 1a for transmitting measurement data, and has a function capable of transmitting measurement data from the measurement data transmission unit 1a to the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 doing.
　また、被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４（識別情報記録媒体）は、病院や老人介護施設等において個々の患者や入所者（被測定者）に付与される被測定者識別用の携行品であり、例えば、市販のＩＤタグによって構成される。被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４には、個々の被測定者を識別するための識別情報（ＩＤ）を記録するＩＤ記録部４ａと、システム本体装置３の読取部１６へ識別情報を送信するためのＩＤ送信部４ｂが内蔵されている。 The subject ID recording part 4 (identification information recording medium) is a portable item for subject identification to be given to individual patients and residents (subjects) in hospitals and nursing homes, etc. For example, it comprises a commercially available ID tag. An ID recording unit 4a for recording identification information (ID) for identifying each individual to be measured and an identification information for transmitting the identification information to the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 in the subject ID recording part 4 An ID transmitter 4b is built in.
　本実施形態では、測定データ送信部１ａ、ＩＤ送信部４ｂを、例えば、近距離無線通信を実行するＮＦＣ（Near Field Communication）の規格に適合する通信用ＩＣチップで構成するとともに、読取部１６を同じくＮＦＣの規格に適合する読取機器（リーダ）で構成してある。
　病院や老人介護施設等においては、測定対象となる複数の患者や入所者が、同じ室内に在室することも多い。そこで、読取部１６が誤って識別情報（ＩＤ）を読み取ってしまうことを回避する上で、近距離無線通信のＮＦＣ規格が好適である。ただし、かかる近距離無線通信の方式は、ＮＦＣ規格に適合する方式に限定されるものではなく、別の方式、例えばBluetooth（登録商標）などを利用することもできる。 In this embodiment, the measurement data transmission unit 1a and the ID transmission unit 4b are, for example, a communication IC chip that conforms to the NFC (Near Field Communication) standard for performing short distance wireless communication, and the reading unit 16 It is also configured with a reader that conforms to the NFC standard.
In hospitals, nursing homes, etc., a plurality of patients or residents to be measured often stay in the same room. Therefore, in order to prevent the reading unit 16 from reading identification information (ID) by mistake, the NFC standard for short distance wireless communication is preferable. However, the short distance wireless communication method is not limited to the method conforming to the NFC standard, and another method such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) may be used.
　システム本体装置３の構成に戻り、識別情報保存部１１には、個別の被測定者（測定対象）ごとに設定された各識別情報（例えば、ＩＤ番号）を、当該個別の被測定者の氏名等と関連付けて保存してある。
　読取部１６は、上述したように被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４のＩＤ記録部４ａに記録された識別情報を読み取る識別情報読取手段としての機能を有している。また、この読取部１６は、赤外線体温計１により取得した個々の被測定者に対する体温の測定データを読み取る機能も有している。
　測定対象認識部１２は、読取部１６により読み取られた被測定者の識別情報を、識別情報保存部１１に保存された識別情報と照合し、当該識別情報に関連付けられた被測定者を認識する。
　これら識別情報保存部１１、読取部１６、測定対象認識部１２は、個別の被測定者（測定対象）を認識する測定対象照合手段として機能している。 Returning to the configuration of the system main unit 3, each identification information (for example, ID number) set for each individual subject (measurement object) is stored in the identification information storage unit 11 with the name of the individual subject. It is stored in association with etc.
The reading unit 16 has a function as identification information reading means for reading the identification information recorded in the ID recording unit 4a of the subject ID recording component 4 as described above. In addition, the reading unit 16 also has a function of reading measurement data of the body temperature of the individual subject obtained by the infrared thermometer 1.
The measurement target recognition unit 12 collates the identification information of the subject read by the reading unit 16 with the identification information stored in the identification information storage unit 11, and recognizes the subject associated with the identification information. .
The identification information storage unit 11, the reading unit 16, and the measurement target recognition unit 12 function as measurement target matching means for recognizing an individual subject (measurement target).
　補正データ保存部１３は、個別の被測定者の個々に対して、後述する補正データ作成部２１により作成された体温に関する補正データを保存する。
　測定データ補正部１４は、測定対象認識部１２で認識した個別の被測定者に対し、赤外線体温計１を用いて取得した測定データを、補正データ保存部１３に保存してあるその被測定者の体温に関する補正データに基づいて補正する機能を有している。
　そして、測定データ補正部１４によって補正された測定データは、被測定者と関連付けて補正済み測定データ保存部１５に保存される。 The correction data storage unit 13 stores correction data on the body temperature generated by the correction data generation unit 21 described later, for each individual subject.
The measurement data correction unit 14 stores the measurement data acquired using the infrared thermometer 1 in the correction data storage unit 13 for the individual measurement subjects recognized by the measurement target recognition unit 12. It has the function to correct based on the correction data regarding the body temperature.
Then, the measurement data corrected by the measurement data correction unit 14 is stored in the corrected measurement data storage unit 15 in association with the subject.
〔個別測定データ補正システムを用いた検温方法と同システムによるデータ処理方法〕
　次に、上述した構成の個別測定データ補正システムを用いた、病院や老人介護施設等における患者や入所者に対する検温方法と、同システムによるデータ処理方法について説明する。
　図２は個別測定データ補正システムによるデータ処理方法を示すフローチャートである。 [Method of measuring temperature using individual measurement data correction system and data processing method by the same system]
Next, a method of measuring temperature on a patient or a resident in a hospital or a nursing home using the individual measurement data correction system having the above-described configuration, and a data processing method by the system will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a data processing method by the individual measurement data correction system.
　既述したように、病院や介護施設等においては、患者や入所者（被測定者）に対して、朝夕ほぼ決まった時刻に、室温がほぼ一定に保たれた病室で、患者や入所者は安静状態にあるなかで、平熱時の検温が行われる。
　具体的には、看護師や介護士等の測定担当者が、赤外線体温計１とシステム本体装置３を携行して、朝夕ほぼ決まった時刻に個々の患者や入所者を巡回し、赤外線体温計１を使用して検温を行っていく。 As mentioned above, in the hospital or nursing home, etc., the patient or resident in the hospital room where the room temperature is kept substantially constant at almost fixed time in the morning and evening for the patient or resident (patient) In the resting state, temperature measurement at normal heat is performed.
Specifically, a measurement person in charge such as a nurse or a carer carries the infrared thermometer 1 and the system main unit 3 and patrols an individual patient or a resident at a substantially fixed time in the morning and evening, and the infrared thermometer 1 Use the temperature to carry out.
　測定担当者は、被測定者が携行する被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４をシステム本体装置３の読取部１６に近付け、被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４のＩＤ記録部４ａに記録された識別情報を、システム本体装置３の読取部１６で読み取る（ステップＳ１）。
　システム本体装置３では、読取部１６で読み取られた識別情報を、測定対象認識部１２が、識別情報保存部１１に保存された識別情報と照合し（ステップＳ２）、当該識別情報に関連付けられた被測定者を認識する（ステップＳ３）。 The person in charge of measurement brings the subject ID recording part 4 carried by the subject close to the reading unit 16 of the system main body 3, and identifies the identification information recorded in the ID recording part 4 a of the subject ID recording part 4 The image is read by the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 (step S1).
In the system main unit 3, the measurement object recognition unit 12 collates the identification information read by the reading unit 16 with the identification information stored in the identification information storage unit 11 (step S2), and associates the identification information The subject is recognized (step S3).
　次いで、測定担当者は、赤外線体温計１を用いて、被測定者の額部（被測定部位）の皮膚表面温度を測定する。赤外線体温計１は、被測定者（測定対象）の額部等に赤外線センサ部を向け、被測定者から放射されている赤外線を非接触で検出することにより、被測定者の皮膚表面温度を短時間で測定することができる。
　測定担当者は、検温操作の後に、赤外線体温計１をシステム本体装置３の読取部１６に近付け、赤外線体温計１が取得した体温の測定データを、システム本体装置３の読取部１６で読み取る（ステップＳ４）。 Next, the person in charge of measurement measures the skin surface temperature of the forehead (the measurement site) of the measurement subject using the infrared thermometer 1. The infrared thermometer 1 directs the infrared sensor to the forehead or the like of the subject (target to be measured) and detects the infrared radiation emitted from the subject without contact, thereby shortening the skin surface temperature of the subject. It can be measured in time.
After the temperature measurement operation, the person in charge of measurement brings the infrared thermometer 1 close to the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 and reads the measurement data of the body temperature acquired by the infrared thermometer 1 with the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 (step S4) ).
　システム本体装置３では、測定対象となった被測定者の体温に関する補正データを、測定対象認識部１２で認識した識別情報に基づいて、補正データ保存部１３から読み出す（ステップＳ５）。そして、読み出した補正データに基づいて、読取部１６で読み取られた赤外線体温計１からの測定データを、補正する（ステップＳ６）。このようにして補正処理された測定データは、補正済み測定データ保存部１５へ被測定者と関連付けて保存される（ステップＳ７）。 The system body device 3 reads out the correction data relating to the body temperature of the subject to be measured from the correction data storage unit 13 based on the identification information recognized by the measurement object recognition unit 12 (step S5). Then, based on the read correction data, the measurement data from the infrared thermometer 1 read by the reading unit 16 is corrected (step S6). The measurement data thus corrected is stored in the corrected measurement data storage unit 15 in association with the subject (step S7).
〔補正データ作成方法と、測定データの補正方法〕
　次に、上述した個別測定データ補正システムで用いられる補正データの作成方法と、同システムで実行される測定データの補正方法について説明する。
　システム本体装置３は、図１に示すように、補正データ作成部２１を備えており、補正データの作成方法は、この補正データ作成部２１によって実行される。なお、この補正データ作成部２１は、具体的には、補正データ作成のための機能がプログラムされ、あらかじめパーソナルコンピュータにインストールされたソフトウエアと、当該ソフトウエアのプログラムに基づく処理を実行するパーソナルコンピュータの中央処理装置（ＣＰＵ）とによって構築される。 [Method of creating correction data and method of correcting measurement data]
Next, a method of creating correction data used in the above-described individual measurement data correction system and a method of correcting measurement data performed in the same system will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system body apparatus 3 includes a correction data generation unit 21, and the correction data generation method is executed by the correction data generation unit 21. Specifically, the correction data generation unit 21 is programmed with a function for generating correction data, and is a software installed in advance in a personal computer and a personal computer that executes processing based on the program of the software. The central processing unit (CPU) of
　図３は本実施形態に係る補正データ作成方法を示すフローチャートである。
　図３に示すように、補正データ作成方法は、測定データ取得工程、基準体温データ取得工程、補正データ作成工程の各工程により実行される。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a method of generating correction data according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 3, the correction data generation method is executed by each process of a measurement data acquisition process, a reference body temperature data acquisition process, and a correction data generation process.
　測定データ取得工程の実施に先立ち、測定担当者は、被測定者が携行する被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４をシステム本体装置３の読取部１６に近付け、被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４のＩＤ記録部４ａに記録された識別情報を、システム本体装置３の読取部１６で読み取る（ステップＳ１１）。
　システム本体装置３では、読取部１６で読み取られた識別情報を、測定対象認識部１２が、識別情報保存部１１に保存された識別情報と照合し（ステップＳ１２）、当該識別情報に関連付けられた被測定者を認識する（ステップＳ１３）。 Prior to the execution of the measurement data acquisition process, the person in charge of measurement brings the subject ID recording part 4 carried by the subject close to the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 and the ID recording part of the subject ID recording part 4 The identification information recorded in 4a is read by the reading unit 16 of the system main unit 3 (step S11).
In the system main unit 3, the measurement object recognition unit 12 collates the identification information read by the reading unit 16 with the identification information stored in the identification information storage unit 11 (step S12), and associates the identification information The subject is recognized (step S13).
　測定データ取得工程（ステップＳ１４）では、日常の検温で測定対象となるすべての被測定者に対して、日常の検温に使用される赤外線体温計１を用いて、額部の体温測定（皮膚表面温度の測定）を実行し、その測定データを取得する。この測定データ取得工程は、上述した日常の検温と同じ作業をもって実行することができる。
　システム本体装置３は、図１に示すように、測定データ保存部２２を備えており、取得した測定データは測定データ保存部２２へ、被測定者及びデータを取得した日時と関連付けて保存する（ステップＳ１５）。 In the measurement data acquisition step (step S14), the temperature measurement of the forehead (skin surface temperature is performed using the infrared thermometer 1 used for daily measurement of temperature for all subjects to be measured in the daily measurement of temperature) Perform measurement) and acquire the measurement data. This measurement data acquisition process can be performed in the same operation as the above-described routine temperature measurement.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system main unit 3 includes the measurement data storage unit 22 and stores the acquired measurement data in the measurement data storage unit 22 in association with the subject and the date and time when the data was acquired ( Step S15).
　基準体温データ取得工程（ステップＳ１６）は、基準の体温計として選定した電子式体温計２を用いて、被測定者の腋窩の体温を測定し、基準体温データを取得する。本実施形態では、電子式体温計２で測定した体温の値を、システム本体装置３が備えるキーボード等の入力部２３から入力する。この入力された体温データが基準体温データとなる。 In the reference body temperature data acquiring step (step S16), the body temperature of the axilla of the subject is measured using the electronic thermometer 2 selected as the reference thermometer, and reference body temperature data is acquired. In the present embodiment, the value of the body temperature measured by the electronic thermometer 2 is input from the input unit 23 such as a keyboard provided in the system main body device 3. The input body temperature data becomes reference body temperature data.
　システム本体装置３は、図１に示すように、基準体温データ保存部２４を備えており、取得した基準体温データは基準体温データ保存部２４へ、被測定者及びデータを取得した日時と関連付けて保存する（ステップＳ１７）。
　基準体温データ取得工程を測定データ取得工程と併せて実行する場合は、被測定者の認識も共通して実行することができる。また、基準体温データ取得工程と測定データ取得工程を、同じ被測定者に対して同時又は連続して実行しない場合は、各工程の始めに、被測定者が携行する被測定者ＩＤ記録部品４から識別情報を読み取る作業を実行する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the system main unit 3 is provided with a reference body temperature data storage unit 24, and the acquired reference body temperature data is associated with the reference body temperature data storage unit 24 with the subject and the date when the data was acquired. Save (step S17).
When the reference body temperature data acquisition step is performed in combination with the measurement data acquisition step, recognition of the person to be measured can also be performed in common. Moreover, when not performing the reference body temperature data acquisition process and the measurement data acquisition process simultaneously or continuously for the same subject, the subject ID recording part 4 carried by the subject at the beginning of each process Perform the task of reading the identification information from
　既述したように、測定データ取得工程で取得した測定データと、基準体温データ取得工程で取得した基準体温データとの間には、相関関係が保持されている必要がある。そこで、基準体温データ取得工程は、測定データ取得工程の実行と併せて、同じ被測定者に対して実行することが、効率的に作業を実行する観点からも好ましい。 As described above, the correlation needs to be maintained between the measurement data acquired in the measurement data acquisition process and the reference body temperature data acquired in the reference body temperature data acquisition process. Therefore, it is preferable to perform the reference body temperature data acquisition step on the same subject together with the execution of the measurement data acquisition step from the viewpoint of efficiently performing the work.
　測定データ取得工程と基準体温データ取得工程は、両工程をセットとして、任意の時間間隔をおいて複数回実施される。例えば、個別の被測定者に対して、朝夕の２回、２日間にわたり、これら各工程のセットを実行する。このようにして、個別の被測定者に対して、測定データ及び基準体温データの対データを、あらかじめ指定した時間間隔をおきながらデータが指定された回数分取得されるまで、繰り返し複数回データ取得をする（ステップＳ１８）。 The measurement data acquisition process and the reference body temperature data acquisition process are performed a plurality of times at arbitrary time intervals, with both processes as a set. For example, for each individual subject, the set of these steps is performed twice in the morning and in the evening for two days. In this way, for each individual subject, data is repeatedly acquired multiple times until the data is acquired the specified number of times at predetermined time intervals while the paired data of the measurement data and the reference body temperature data is acquired in advance (Step S18).
　ここで、任意の時間が経過していないにも関わらず、短時間内に繰り返しデータを取得してしまうことを回避するために、時間や日付等を計測する機能をシステム本体装置３に設け、次のデータを取得する時刻になっていないような場合には、データを取得できないようにしておくことが望ましい（ステップＳ１９）。 Here, in order to avoid repeatedly acquiring data within a short time even if an arbitrary time has not elapsed, the system main body 3 is provided with a function of measuring a time, a date, etc. If it is not time to acquire the next data, it is desirable that the data can not be acquired (step S19).
　対データをあらかじめ指定された回数分取得できた後、補正データ作成部２１が補正データ作成工程（ステップＳ２０）を実行し、複数の対データに基づいて、個別の被測定者のそれぞれに対して体温に関する補正データを作成する。このようにして作成した補正データは、被測定者と関連付けて補正データ保存部１３へ保存する（ステップＳ２１）。
　具体的には、基準体温データに対する測定データのばらつきを統計学的な手法により分析することで、測定データから基準体温データを推計する補正データ（推計関数）を算出する。 After the paired data has been acquired for the number of times designated in advance, the correction data creation unit 21 executes a correction data creation step (step S20), and based on the plurality of paired data, it is made for each individual subject. Create correction data on body temperature. The correction data thus created is stored in the correction data storage unit 13 in association with the subject (step S21).
Specifically, correction data (estimation function) for estimating the reference body temperature data from the measurement data is calculated by analyzing the variation of the measurement data with respect to the reference body temperature data by a statistical method.
　例えば、線形の単回帰分析などを用いて個別の推定関数（補正データ）を導出することができる。この方法は計算量が少なくて済むため、汎用のパーソナルコンピュータによっても容易に処理することができる。
　ここで、皮膚表面温度（測定データ）ｘ、腋窩体温（基準体温データ）ｙ、回帰係数ｐ、切片ｑ、ｎ組あるデータペア｛ｘ，ｙ｝の番号をｋとし、次の式（１）に対して、被測定者ごとに保存された｛ｘ[ｎ]，ｙ[ｎ]｝対し、２乗誤差が最小となるｐ，ｑを求める。なお、ｐ，ｑの値は被測定者ごとに独立である。
　ｙ[ｋ]＝ｐ＊ｘ[ｋ]＋ｑ　　　（１） For example, linear single regression analysis can be used to derive individual estimation functions (correction data). Since this method requires a small amount of calculation, it can be easily processed by a general-purpose personal computer.
Here, skin surface temperature (measurement data) x, axillary body temperature (reference body temperature data) y, regression coefficient p, intercept q, number of n pairs of data pairs {x, y} is k, and the following equation (1) On the other hand, with respect to {x [n], y [n]} stored for each subject, p and q which minimize the squared error are determined. The values of p and q are independent for each subject.
y [k] = p * x [k] + q (1)
　また、推定体温ｙ１は、あらかじめ計算された被測定者の回帰係数ｐ１、切片ｑ１と、その時に測定された当該被測定者の皮膚表面温度（測定データ）ｘ１を用いて、次の式（２）用いて算出することができる。
　ｙ１＝ｐ１＊ｘ１＋ｑ１　　　（２） The estimated body temperature y1 is calculated using the following equation (2), using the regression coefficient p1 of the subject, the intercept q1 calculated in advance, and the skin surface temperature (measurement data) x1 of the subject measured at that time: ) Can be calculated.
y1 = p1 * x1 + q1 (2)
　補正データの他の作成方法として、例えば、赤外線体温計１に内蔵されている標準の推定関数を、上述した｛ｘ[ｎ]，ｙ[ｎ]｝を用いて、２乗誤差が最小となるように変形し、フィッティングする方法も適用することができる。 As another method of creating correction data, for example, using a standard estimation function built in the infrared thermometer 1 and using the above-mentioned {x [n], y [n]}, the squared error is minimized It is also possible to apply the method of deforming and fitting.
　図４Ａ、図４Ｂにおいて、標準の推定関数をｆ（ｘ）とした場合、皮膚表面温度（測定データ）がｘ０℃のとき、腋窩体温は３６．６℃と推定される。一方、被測定者ａ，ｂは、腋窩体温が同じ３６．６℃であっても、皮膚表面温度（測定データ）はｘ０℃とは異なる（ｘａ＜ｘ０＜ｘｂ）。その結果、標準の推定関数により推定された腋窩体温は、被測定者aが本来の腋窩体温よりも低く、被測定者ｂは本来の腋窩体温よりも高くなってしまう。 In FIGS. 4A and 4B, assuming that the standard estimation function is f (x), the axillary body temperature is estimated to be 36.6 ° C. when the skin surface temperature (measurement data) is x0 ° C. On the other hand, the skin surface temperature (measurement data) is different from x0 ° C. (xa <x0 <xb) even if the axillary body temperature is the same 36.6 ° C. As a result, the axillary body temperature estimated by the standard estimation function is lower than the original axillary body temperature of the subject a and is higher than the original axillary body temperature of the subject b.
　しかし、本実施形態の個別測定データ補正システムにおいて、補正データ作成部２１が作成した体温に関する補正データ（個別推定関数）を用いると、被測定者ａはｆａ（ｘａ）、被測定者ｂはｆｂ（ｘｂ）から算出した本来の腋窩体温である３６．６℃に補正される。 However, in the individual measurement data correction system of the present embodiment, when using the correction data (individual estimation function) related to the body temperature generated by the correction data generation unit 21, the subject a is fa (xa) and the subject b is fb. It is corrected to 36.6 ° C. which is the original axillary body temperature calculated from (xb).
