Abstract

A biological monitoring device includes a sensor included in a sensor device, performing a detection process of detecting a medical condition of a patient, and performing a process of generating first detection data indicating a result of the detection process, a generation unit realized by the sensor device, indicating contents related to the detection process, and performing a process of generating second detection data having a smaller data volume than the first detection data, on the basis of the first detection data, and a communication unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of transmitting the second detection data to a terminal associated with the patient.

Claims (45)

1. A biological monitoring device comprising:

a sensor included in a sensor device, performing a detection process of detecting a medical condition of a patient, and performing a process of generating first detection data indicating a result of the detection process;

a generation unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of generating second detection data indicating contents related to the detection process and having a smaller data volume than the first detection data, on a basis of the first detection data; and

a communication unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of transmitting the second detection data to a terminal associated with the patient,

wherein:

when the sensor device exists in a body of the patient, the communication unit is configured to transmit the second detection data to the terminal in a first cycle, and

when the sensor device does not exist in the body of the patient, the communication unit is configured to transmit the second detection data to the terminal in a second cycle shorter than the first cycle.

2. The biological monitoring device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication unit is configured to transmit the second detection data to the terminal without receiving a request for transmitting the second detection data to the terminal.

3. The biological monitoring device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a determination unit realized by the sensor device, and determining whether or not the sensor device exists in the body of the patient, on a basis of at least one of the first detection data and the second detection data; and

a control unit realized by the sensor device, and controlling the communication unit to transmit the second detection data to the terminal in the first cycle, when it is determined that the sensor device exists in the body of the patient.

4. The biological monitoring device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a determination unit calculating a time during which the sensor device does not exist in the body of the patient, on a basis of at least one of the first detection data and the second detection data, and determining whether or not the time exceeds a predetermined threshold,

wherein when it is determined that the time is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold, the generation unit generates recommendation data for causing the terminal to perform a process of outputting information recommending the patient to be in a state where the sensor device exists in the body of the patient, and

the communication unit is configured to transmit the recommendation data to the terminal.

5. The biological monitoring device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a determination unit realized by the sensor device, and determining whether or not the sensor device exists in the body of the patient, on a basis of at least one of the first detection data and the second detection data; and

a control unit realized by the sensor device, and controlling the communication unit to transmit the second detection data to the terminal in the first cycle, when it is determined that the sensor device exists in the body of the patient.

6. The biological monitoring device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a determination unit calculating a time during which the sensor device does not exist in the body of the patient, on a basis of at least one of the first detection data and the second detection data, and determining whether or not the time exceeds a predetermined threshold,

wherein when it is determined that the time is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold, the generation unit generates recommendation data for causing the terminal to perform a process of outputting information recommending the patient to be in a state where the sensor device exists in the body of the patient, and

the communication unit is configured to transmit the recommendation data to the terminal.

7. The biological monitoring device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage unit that is configured to store the first detection data.

8. A biological monitoring device comprising:

a sensor included in a sensor device, performing a detection process of detecting a medical condition of a patient, and performing a process of generating first detection data indicating a result of the detection process;

a generation unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of generating second detection data indicating contents related to the detection process and having a smaller data volume than the first detection data, on a basis of the first detection data;

a communication unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of transmitting the second detection data to a terminal associated with the patient;

a determination unit realized by the sensor device, and determining whether or not the sensor device exists in a body of the patient, on a basis of at least one of the first detection data and the second detection data; and

a control unit realized by the sensor device, and controlling the communication unit to transmit the second detection data to the terminal in a first cycle, when it is determined that the sensor device exists in the body of the patient,

wherein when it is determined that the sensor device does not exist in the body of the patient, the control unit is configured to control the communication unit to transmit the second detection data to the terminal in a second cycle shorter than the first cycle.

9. The biological monitoring device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the determination unit is configured to calculate a time during which the sensor device does not exist in the body of the patient, on a basis of at least one of the first detection data and the second detection data, and is further configured to determine whether or not the time exceeds a predetermined threshold, and

the control unit is configured to lengthen the second cycle when it is determined that the time exceeds the predetermined threshold.

10. A biological monitoring device comprising:

a sensor included in a sensor device, performing a detection process of detecting a medical condition of a patient, and performing a process of generating first detection data indicating a result of the detection process;

a generation unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of generating second detection data indicating contents related to the detection process and having a smaller data volume than the first detection data, on a basis of the first detection data;

a communication unit realized by the sensor device, and performing a process of transmitting the second detection data to a terminal associated with the patient, wherein the communication unit is configured to transmit the second detection data to the terminal without receiving a request for transmitting the second detection data to the terminal;
