Description

A doctor-patient communication assistance system

The present invention is a communication assistance system, in particular a doctor-patient communication assistance system for mutual communication between doctors and patients.

In a traditional dental clinic, the actual treatment situation that may occur is that at the scene of the dental consultation between the dentist and the dental patient, the dental patient lies on the dental clinic chair and opens his mouth wide to let the dentist perform dental treatment. Therefore, the patient is completely speechless at this time. However, if there is any need for diagnosis and treatment, or even if there are any symptoms of discomfort, he must speak to the dentist. At this time, how should the dental patient deal with it? How to make a chief complaint to the dentist, and is it possible to use any possible "doctor-patient communication" auxiliary equipment to conduct "doctor-patient communication" on the spot in real time? The main purpose of the above situation mentioned here is to propose effective "doctor-patient communication" auxiliary equipment that can effectively assist dental patients to successfully complete their treatment process.

For example, for patients with certain specific diseases, when the patient's saliva is large, the patient is easily choked by his own saliva and develops pneumonia, but when the patient's saliva is small, the patient will have an uncomfortable feeling of dry throat. Therefore, when checking traditional medical detection devices, there is already saliva detection technology, which can use far-infrared sensors to monitor the amount of saliva in the patient's mouth and send out an alarm to notify medical staff to monitor the patient's condition.

In the traditional real-time "doctor-patient communication" process, the doctor and the patient have a direct oral conversation on the spot. At this time, the doctor and the patient can directly communicate with each other at the consultation site. In terms of its advantages, it can not only reduce the cognitive differences in verbal communication, but also effectively reduce the possibility of misdiagnosis. In contrast, in terms of medical care, each "doctor-patient communication" can be directly combined with the relevant medical cases, so that the medical experience generated by each medical behavior is more complete and becomes effective medical data. However, it is worth noting that in the traditional "conventional biomedical approach" of "doctor-patient communication", medical staff will mostly explain the symptoms of the disease to the patient based on the medical theory of the disease, but often ignore the patient's ability to understand the disease and their worries. In addition, medical staff may not be able to empathize with the patients and give them the opportunity to participate in discussions on the relevant treatments needed for their own diseases.

For patients, the most important thing in the process of "doctor-patient communication" is that someone can listen to their condition. In other words, "listening" is probably the most necessary behavior in the communication process. Listening is not only about receiving information, but more importantly, it is about understanding what the speaker really wants to express and making appropriate and correct responses. Therefore, when "listening", it is not easy to effectively receive the message that the other party is trying to convey, and common unfavorable conditions, such as patients providing too much information, or the medical staff's own concentration and understanding, may affect the effective listening effect of medical staff.

In summary, for both medical staff and patients, when dental patients enter the dental clinic and are examined by dentists, they do need "doctor-patient communication" auxiliary equipment. In addition to helping dental patients clearly explain the lesions, "doctor-patient communication" auxiliary equipment can also effectively provide consultation preparation information for different dental patients and assist dentists in making advance arrangements. At present, most industries Customized technology has been used to improve service content and service quality. However, for the medical industry, most medical institutions only use existing medical technology to record patient information and cases, and have not further developed good customized medical technology to improve more intelligent and humanized medical services. Therefore, for the medical community, it is indeed necessary to research and develop customized "doctor-patient communication" auxiliary equipment.

The present invention is a doctor-patient communication assistance system, which mainly has the function of assisting dentists in communicating with dental patients, including a communication analysis device, a patient response device, and a client device, wherein the client device is electrically connected to the communication analysis device, and the communication analysis device includes a receiving communication module, a first data module, a second data module, a management control module, a comparison analysis module, and a display, wherein the receiving communication module is electrically connected to the first data module, the first data module is electrically connected to the comparison analysis module and the management control module, the second data module is electrically connected to the comparison analysis module, and the management control module is electrically connected to the display, and the comparison analysis module is electrically connected to the display, and the patient response device is electrically connected to the display.

The present invention provides an operation method of a doctor-patient communication auxiliary system. When a patient enters a dental clinic, the (locked) touch screen can be unlocked by face recognition. When the client device receives the decoded signal, the client device transmits the patient's dental symptom data to the communication analysis device. When the communication analysis device receives the patient's dental symptom data from the client device through the receiving communication module, the patient's dental symptom data is transmitted and stored in the first data module of the communication analysis device. The comparison and analysis module of the communication analysis device is used to compare and analyze the patient's dental symptom data in the first data module and the medical oral disease symptom data in the second data module, so that the patient's dental symptoms in the first data module correspond to the medical oral disease symptom data, and the corresponding medical oral disease symptom data is displayed on the display to assist the dentist in making an assisted judgment. The patient response device and the display provide a continuous flashing screen and a warning sound to respond to the patient's discomfort during the treatment process.

The present invention provides a doctor-patient communication assistance system, which is provided as a means of assisting dentists and dental patients in mutual communication. Relevant diagnosis and treatment data and the number and time of patient responses, types of illnesses, treatment methods, etc. can all be filed in digital form.
