Description

HealthU Health-care monitoring system

The present invention relates to a health care monitoring system, and more particularly, to a U-health health care monitoring system capable of easily obtaining various biometric information and efficiently managing and monitoring remotely.

In general, devices for measuring biosignals include devices for measuring electrocardiogram, body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate and blood glucose level, and these devices detect or measure a biosignal to check a patient's health condition or treat a patient. Display it.

However, the biosignal measuring apparatus as described above has to be provided with a precise sensor for measuring the biosignal of the user, and the apparatus is expensive because the calculation and calculation of the measured biosignal have to be calculated.

In addition, the biosignal measuring apparatus uses the measurement data described in the user's manual of the apparatus as a normal value, but the normal value is a value of average statistical data including age and gender of all persons. There is a problem in that it is not possible to receive an accurate diagnosis according to individual differences, which causes inconvenience to visit a hospital directly in order to hear the opinion of a specialist doctor for accurate diagnosis.

Also in the healthcare field, patients or groups of patients often need to remotely monitor any one of many specific health conditions. For example, immature newborns in a hospital's neonatal protection unit need to monitor their life-related statistics, physical function, and the like substantially constant.

In many cases, it is necessary to monitor certain conditions or conditions of infection, such as hypoglycemia, infection, and the like, and to take blood or other biological samples from newborns. Such monitoring and inspection requires labor intensive and highly trained staff, especially as the number of patients added to the group to be monitored places a significant burden on the medical staff. A similar situation may exist in health care facilities for the management of the elderly.

Furthermore, a large number of patients in the facility need to be monitored simultaneously for health care reasons. Bedside monitoring devices are widely known and used in the context of monitoring individual patient statistics and functions, such as temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and the like. Such apparatus includes sensors wired to a portable receiver / display unit. Such units typically provide an alarm when an abnormal value is obtained, as well as a visual reading or display of measured parameters.

And the bedside unit is usually wired to the remote monitoring station, in particular to the alarm function. However, there are many drawbacks to such a configuration. Electronic hardware is expensive and the hardware configuration takes up a lot of space. Wire connections are very complex and crowded. Care must be taken not to inadvertently (or intentionally) disconnect the wire connection from the patient. Various wire connections make it difficult for medical staff to handle certain procedures. In the case of the elderly, the wire connections severely limit the behavior of the person.

Much work is being done in the field of healthcare related to the use of diagnostic biosensors, particularly in hospitals and managed care facilities. Recently, many technologies for biosensors that can be used at home, including disposable devices, have been proposed.

In addition, techniques have been proposed that can be incorporated into items worn on or near the body, such as disposable diapers, incontinence devices, sanitary napkins, clothing articles, and the like. In addition, the use of portable or disposable biosensors with electronic devices capable of storing or transmitting data relating to the health of patients has been proposed.

Relatively small, conventional biosensors for personal diagnostics and surveillance use can easily provide batch, simultaneous and diverse services because improved health care, especially one or multiple health conditions of a relatively large number of patients, must be monitored simultaneously. A remote management system is needed.

In addition, the combination of ubiquitous technology and medicine has brought about a great change in the u-Healthcare industry for the elderly, and it is possible to solve the limitations of time and space and support u-Healthcare for the faster and safer network-based elderly.

Users can monitor their chronic health status directly from passive targets who receive care, diagnose various symptoms, get information on diseases and preventive health care, and actively manage their health. And homes are an important place to receive u-Healthcare for seniors on behalf of hospitals, as they become active roles to seek help from care providers in clinical care.

In order to provide u-Healthcare services for the elderly, it is necessary to have a core technology for recognizing the biometric information of patients or elderly people living in the hospital or at home of their children. Second, it is important to know which transmission technology to transmit the signal to, and third, which interface to monitor.

However, the existing u-Healthcare service for the elderly has been developed in the form of clothing or worn on the body such as a wristwatch or a belt to give the patient a sense of discomfort and discomfort, and there are many devices in a somewhat complicated manner for the elderly to use. Therefore, there is a need for the development of a system that transmits a biological signal while being simple to use.

The problem of the present invention to solve the above problems is to use the system for the cognitive rehabilitation of the elderly or the general person in the terminal form and at the same time to monitor the user's blood pressure, pulse, electrocardiogram, blood sugar, exercise, apnea (mattress), movement The present invention aims to provide a U-health healthcare monitoring system that can measure and reliably monitor biological signals.

A feature of the present invention for solving the above problems is a health care sensing device having a short range wireless communication device to obtain and transmit the health care information of the user; A short-range wireless communication device that receives the biometric data from the health care sensor, a micro-controller unit (MCU) that classifies the received data, controls the operation of the device, and uses the classified data through an internet network. A small integrated controller including a communication interface for transmitting to the outside; And an integrated management server capable of displaying and monitoring data received through the Internet from the integrated controller in real time through a management program.

Here, the health care detection device, a mobile device with a built-in cognitive rehabilitation program; Smart mattresses for detecting apnea, movement and falls; Portable blood glucose meter; Blood pressure, pulse and ECG meters; And at least one of a momentum meter.

The short range wireless communication device may be at least one of a Bluetooth, a Zigbee, and a WLAN device, and the communication interface may be a LAN or a wireless LAN device.

In addition, preferably connected to the integrated management server, may further include a mobile device for monitoring the health care information, access to the integrated management server, monitor the health care information, diagnosis and It may further include a hospital information system (HIS) that can input treatment information to the integrated management server.

The present invention, unlike the conventional PC terminal, through the small interface device consisting of a simple circuit design, such as communication interface and MCU to efficiently monitor a variety of information obtained from a biometric information measuring device such as a health care detection device remotely It is possible to provide a system that can.

In addition, it is possible to provide a U-health healthcare monitoring system that can reduce the cost of the entire network system with a simple configuration and efficiently monitor biometric information remotely.
