Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a home medical data controlling apparatus which can prevent a failure of mediation, measurement, and like and also prevent irregularity of medication time, measurement time, and the like. CONSTITUTION:When a reservation time is set, it is judged whether the present time coincides with a medication time or not. When the present time coincides with the medication time, a buzzer sound is generated for five times. A check is subsequently made to see if the present time coincides with a measurement time, and if yes, the buzzer sound is rung for ten times. When the setting of the reservation time is not cancelled, such a procedure is repeated. When the setting is cancelled, the process is finished.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a home medical data management apparatus capable of communicating via a telephone line between a measuring apparatus for measuring biological information of a home patient and a data processing apparatus of a medical institution.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the rise in medical costs, there is an increasing tendency to treat patients at home. In this case, the medical institution side grasps the biological information of the patient, and for the purpose of eliminating the anxiety of the patient, conventionally, between the measuring device and the data processing device of the medical institution measuring the biological information of the home patient A home medical data management device that enables two-way communication via a telephone line is being actively developed. By using this device, it is possible to reduce the number of times even a patient who needs regular examinations and diagnoses goes to an outpatient facility of a medical institution or requests a home visit.

For example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication (Kokoku) No. 3-49499 discloses that when abnormal data occurs in medical data measured by a measuring device, it is automatically notified to a medical institution, and the medical data of a home patient is accessed by access from the medical institution. There is disclosed a home medical data management device capable of reading out any time and displaying a simple message from the medical institution side.

However, in this conventional apparatus, when the patient needs to measure the data at regular intervals, the patient himself has to manage the measurement time, and the medical institution may forget the measurement or the measurement time may vary. There was a problem that the correct data that the side wanted could not be obtained. Therefore, as a countermeasure against this, Japanese Patent Application No. 4-290194
There has been proposed a home medical data management device capable of automatically reporting the measurement time to the measuring device from a medical institution side via a telephone line.

[0005]

However, in this conventional device, the measurement time set by the medical institution side is reported, but the user can freely set the reserved time such as the measurement time and the medication time to obtain the desired time. It is not possible to notify the reserved time.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by setting a reserved time and notifying when the reserved time comes, medication, forgetting of measurement, etc., medication time, measurement time It is an object of the present invention to provide a home medical data management device capable of preventing variations in the above.

[0007]

A home medical data management apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention is a home medical data management apparatus for measuring biological information of a home patient by a measuring means and transmitting the measured data to a medical institution. The measuring means includes a clock,
It is characterized by comprising means for setting a reserved time such as medication time and measurement time, and notifying means for notifying that the time indicated by the clock coincides with the reserved time.

A home medical data management apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention is the home medical data management apparatus according to the first aspect, wherein a tone color
It is characterized in that it is provided with an informing means for generating sounds having different numbers of times.

[0009]

In the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to freely set a reserved time such as a medication time and a measurement time, and when the current time reaches the reserved time, an alarm is given to the user. Therefore, even if the user forgets the medication time, the measurement time, etc., it is possible to perform the medication, measurement, etc. without forgetting.

Display (step S13).
Then, the process proceeds to step S10. When it is determined in step S10 that the blood pressure switch 32 is turned on, the current time is displayed on the display unit 31 even if the auto-off timer has not counted 3 minutes (step S14), and the measurement data is erased. Then (step S15), the process ends. If it is determined in step S8 that the auto-off timer has counted 3 minutes, the process proceeds to step S14, the current time is displayed, the measurement data is erased, and the process ends.

When the user turns on the measurement switch 91 of the weight scale 9 connected to the vital sensor 3, the weight scale 9 measures the weight. At this time, the ON signal and the measurement data are given to the vital sensor 3 from the weight scale 9 through the interface 35. When the vital sensor 3 receives the ON signal and the measurement data (step S91), the measurement data being measured is displayed on the display unit 31 (step S92). Then, when the measurement is completed, a measurement completion signal is similarly given to the vital sensor 3. When the vital sensor 3 receives the measurement end signal (step S93), the buzzer 40 emits a predetermined buzzer sound to notify the end of the measurement, and the M mark is blinked at a predetermined position on the display unit 31. And display the measurement data
Display at 31. Further, the measured data is stored in the memory 39 (step S94).
