System for predicting thyrotoxicosis using a wearable device and computer program using the same

Abstract

Provided are a system and a computer program for managing and predicting thyrotoxicosis using a wearable device. The system for predicting thyrotoxicosis is a system for predicting thyrotoxicosis using a resting heart rate, the system including a wearable device for measuring the heart rate of a patient at regular intervals, and a bio-signal computing device for receiving heart rate information from the wearable device, the bio-signal computing device outputting a warning alarm when a resting heart rate is greater than a reference heart rate when the patient is in a normal state.

1 . A system for predicting thyrotoxicosis using a resting heart rate, the system comprising:
 a wearable device for measuring heart rates of a patient at regular intervals; and   a bio-signal computing device for receiving heart rate information from the wearable device, the bio-signal computing device outputting a warning alarm when a resting heart rate is greater than a reference heart rate in a normal state for the patient.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the wearable device measures the number of steps of the patient and transmits the measured number of steps of the patient to the bio-signal computing device, and the bio-signal computing device extracts sections in which the number of steps is 0 for a predetermined period of time in a day and calculates the resting heart rate using heart rates measured in each section. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the bio-signal computing device calculates a median value of the heart rates measured in each section and defines a median value of the calculated median values as the resting heart rate. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the bio-signal computing device calculates a median value of the heart rates measured in each section, and calculates the resting heart rate by assigning a greater weight value to a median value measured in a sleep section than to a median value measured in a wake-up section among the calculated median values. 
     
     
         5 . The display device of  claim 2 , wherein the reference heart rate is defined as an average value of resting heart rates measured for a predetermined number of days during which a thyroid function is normal. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bio-signal computing device outputs a warning alarm when an average value of the resting heart rates for a predetermined number of consecutive days is greater than the reference heart rate. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bio-signal computing device calculates a median value of the heart rates measured in each section for sections in which the number of steps is 0 for at least 15 minutes in a day and defines a median value of the calculated median values as the resting heart rate of the day, and outputs a warning alarm when an average value of the resting heart rates for five consecutive days is greater than the reference heart rate by 10 beats per minute. 
     
     
         8 . A computer program coupled to a bio-signal computing device for predicting thyrotoxicosis using a resting heart rate and stored in a medium to execute the steps of:
 receiving heart rates and number of steps information from a wearable device which measures the heart rates and the number of steps of a patient at regular intervals;   extracting sections in which the number of steps for a predetermined period of time in a day is smaller than a predetermined value and defining the resting heart rate using heart rates measured in each section;   defining an average value of resting heart rates measured for a predetermined number of days during which a thyroid function is normal as a reference heart rate; and   outputting a warning alarm when the resting heart rate is greater than the reference heart rate.
