Abstract

The present invention provides a health care system based on video in a remote health care solution and a method for providing a health care service. To this end, the method for providing a health care service through a terminal, according to one embodiment, comprises the steps of: obtaining images, in which the health care activities of a user for the health care service are photographed, and the measurement information related to the health care activities from a measurement device; determining whether the health care activities are normally carried out on based on the photographed images or the measurement information of the measurement device; and if the health care activities are not normally carried out, displaying an indicator indicating that the health care activities are not normally carried out on a screen of the terminal.

Claims

1. A method of providing a health care service through a terminal, the method comprising:

acquiring an image in which a health care service user'"'"'s health care behavior is captured and the measurement information of a measurement device associated with the health care behavior;

determining whether or not the health care behavior is normally carried out based on the captured image or the measurement information of the measurement device; and

displaying an indicator indicating that the health care behavior is not normally carried out on a screen of the terminal when the health care behavior is not normally carried out.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the health care behavior is at least one of the user'"'"'s blood glucose measuring behavior, the user'"'"'s blood pressure measuring behavior, the user'"'"'s eating behavior, the user'"'"'s medication behavior and the user'"'"'s exercise behavior.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement information of the measurement device is at least one of the user'"'"'s blood glucose level, the user'"'"'s blood pressure value, the user'"'"'s medication dosage, the user'"'"'s food intake amount, the user'"'"'s workrate, the power status of the measurement device, the operation or non-operation of the measurement device, a humidity and temperature during measurement.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said determining whether or not the user'"'"'s health care is normally carried out is determined based on at least one of whether or not the subject of the health care behavior is a valid user of the health care service, the user'"'"'s posture during measurement, whether or not the measurement device is used in a right manner, a failure or non-failure during the operation of the measurement device, and whether or not the measurement information is abnormal.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying an image in which the health care behavior is captured on the screen of the terminal,

wherein the indicator is displayed at a portion where the health care behavior is abnormally carried out on the displayed screen.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the captured image and the indicator are displayed on the screen of the terminal while the health care behavior is carried out.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing guide information for carrying out a normal health care behavior again.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the provision of the guide information is provided through at least one of an indicator, an image and a voice indicating the guide information.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating a control signal for controlling the measurement device to provide information indicating that the health care behavior is abnormally carried out to the user when the health care behavior is not normally carried out.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the information indicating that the health care behavior is abnormally carried out is provided to the user through at least one of a vibration, an image and a voice output by means of the measurement device.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting at least one of the captured images and the measurement information of the measurement device to a health care server when the health care behavior is not normally carried out.

12. A terminal, comprising:

a display unit configured to display a screen; and

a controller configured to acquire an image in which a health care service user'"'"'s health care behavior is captured and the measurement information of a measurement device associated with the health care behavior, determine whether or not the health care behavior is normally carried out based on the captured image or the measurement information of the measurement device, and display an indicator indicating that the health care behavior is not normally carried out on a screen of the terminal when the health care behavior is not normally carried out.

13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the health care behavior is at least one of the user'"'"'s blood glucose measuring behavior, the user'"'"'s blood pressure measuring behavior, the user'"'"'s eating behavior, the user'"'"'s medication behavior and the user'"'"'s exercise behavior.

14. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the measurement information of the measurement device is at least one of the user'"'"'s blood glucose level, the user'"'"'s blood pressure value, the user'"'"'s medication dosage, the user'"'"'s food intake amount, the user'"'"'s workrate, the power status of the measurement device, the operation or non-operation of the measurement device, a humidity and temperature during measurement.

15. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the determination of whether or not the user'"'"'s health care is normally carried out is determined based on at least one of whether or not the subject of the health care behavior is a valid user of the health care service, the user'"'"'s posture during measurement, whether or not the measurement device is used in a right manner, a failure or non-failure during the operation of the measurement device, and whether or not the measurement information is abnormal.
