Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

1 is a block diagram showing a remote medical care system using the Internet network according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method of operating a remote medical care system using the Internet network according to the present invention.

In the remote medical care system using the Internet network according to the present invention, referring to FIG. 1, in an office or home 100, a patient 101 accesses a hospital home page and inputs objective / subjective symptoms for each disease by type. And a patient computer (105) for interfacing with home medical equipment (102, 103, 104) for checking the symptoms of body parts of a patient and storing and transmitting the examination data.

The patient 101 is asked for an objective answer classified for each disease type, his or her subjective symptom input, and a symptom check with home medical equipment, and the primary prescription for the medical examination data and the medical examination data are transmitted to a medical institution for examination. Cyber hospital management server 200 for transmitting a result to the patient computer 105,

The hospital near the patient 300 for answering the result of the doctor examination for the patient examination data received from the cyber hospital management server 200, and the specialized hospital 400 to give an answer to the examination data when the examination requires specialized treatment (400) ), A pharmacy 500 for preparing a drug and delivering the medicine to a patient according to a medical examination result transmitted from the cyber hospital management server 200, and a medical insurance association 600 for paying a patient's medical bill. Configuration.

Here, the cyber hospital management server 200 is a database 201 for storing the medical examination data of the patient and the result of the examination as a personal care card, and the server control unit 202 for managing communication with the respective parts (105, 300, 400, 500, 600) It consists of.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, a remote medical care system using the Internet network and its operation method configured as described above are as follows.

When the patient 101 wants to receive a medical examination of his or her disease remotely in the office or home 100, the patient computer 105 accesses the home page of the cyber hospital management server 200 and selects a medical treatment ( S201, S202).

The cyber hospital management server 200 has a standard question database for each disease type and stores the question database by type in order to make a more precise examination.

When the patient 101 selects a medical treatment on the cyber hospital home page, a cyber character in the shape of a person appears on the cyber hospital home page, and a key input means (eg; Mouse) (S203).

When the body part to be checked by the user is selected, a "note" window pops up to provide a query in the form of a questionnaire about some known symptoms corresponding to the part. This is usually data in the form of an objective form that doctors ask questions in hospitals.

When the "Letter" window is closed, the "Question" window is opened. In this "Question" window, the medical treatment corresponding to the typical doctor diagnosis is examined by using the home medical equipment. The home medical equipment is a computer-interfaced microphone stethoscope. (102), the thermometer 103, the digital camera (or endoscope digital camera) 104, etc., by using the contact to the site according to the question, it is possible to check the patient's pulse, temperature, image of the specific site. (S206). The results checked by the home medical equipment are automatically stored as audio files (eg, wav), image digital information (eg, jpg), and body temperature information, respectively.                     

For example, in the question window, "Make the stethoscope 102 close to the shiny left chest on the screen," and then "Press Enter when ready," the patient will automatically follow the diagnosis. Save it as an audio file. In addition, when several symptoms appear at the same time, the patient performs several body parts as directed.

As described above, the medical examination data of the patient by the message and question window is transmitted to the cyber hospital management server 200 by the patient computer (S207), and the cyber hospital management server 200 stores the transmitted medical examination data in the database 201. ). This is stored in the database 201 so that the symptoms for the patient can be checked from time to time.

In addition, the cyber hospital management server (200) manager has a certain medical knowledge to determine the patient's examination file in terms of family medicine, and after the general examination according to the degree required to inform the prescription, or the home of the patient 101 Recommend the nearby hospital 300 will also consider the connection with the actual hospital.

Then, by classifying according to the patient examination file and transmits the examination file to the doctor in charge of the hospital near the patient (300). Then, the doctor in charge of the nearby hospital 300 has a medical examination file and transmits an answer to the cyber hospital management server 200.

To this end, the cyber hospital management server 200 has a server control unit 202 to manage communication, while providing a medical institution (hospital, pharmacy) and medical insurance association 600 for the care of the patient 101 and patients. Register as a member and save information about them.

In addition, the selected hospital 300 near the residence is to provide an organic connection if the situation requires the actual medical treatment through the cyber hospital, and the nearby hospital 300 will give the answer as soon as possible (S208).

Here, when the doctor in charge of the nearby hospital 300 determines that the patient is to be examined at the specialized hospital 400, the patient examination file is handed over to the specialized hospital 400 so that the professional findings and answers are managed by the cyber hospital management server ( 200).

The cyber hospital management server 200 receives the examination result of the patient in the hospital 300, 500 (S209), stores the examination result in a personal medical card, and informs the patient through the patient computer 105. Given the disease will be informed so that the patient can go to the hospital and receive treatment (S210).

In addition, if the diagnosis result of the patient answered by the doctor is a mild prescription, the cyber hospital management server 200 transmits the result to the pharmacy 500 to receive the pharmacist's preparation, the patient through a quick / service company, etc. Measures 101 to be delivered to the drug (S210).

In addition, the medical expenses of the nearby hospital doctor and the preparation fee of the pharmacy 500 is converted and billed through the medical insurance association (600), the medical insurance union (600) can be paid through the e-commerce with the patient. The medical bills and management are handled by the cyber hospital management server 200 to record the medical records in the database, and build a medical card and deliver the same to the patient.
