(Example)

FIG. 1 shows a simplified body fluid test kit according to one embodiment of the present invention. Since this unit is formed in a chip shape, it is hereinafter referred to as a detection chip. FIG. 1A is a top view of the test chip, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 1A. FIG. 1C is a bottom view of the test chip when the reagent cover 7 is removed.

In FIGS. 1A to 1C, reference numeral 1 denotes a sheet-like force par member having an opening for forming a drip portion 2 for bodily fluid in a central portion, and is formed of PVC, PET, or the like. Reference numeral 3 denotes a porous sheet member, in which a single or a plurality of the above-described porous sheets are laminated. The porous sheet member 3 preferably has, for example, a blood cell separating ability, and Hemasep (registered trademark) V membrane (manufactured by Nippon Pall Corporation) is suitably used.

Is a holding member for holding the side surface of the porous sheet member 3 uniformly, and is made of the same material as the force-par member 1. On the back surface of the porous sheet member 3, a support member 6 having a plurality of openings 5 is provided. In the illustrated embodiment, the opening 5 has a circular shape, and reagent members 5a to 5f formed by attaching, coating or impregnating various reagents on the porous base material are arranged therein. These reagents may be different reagents corresponding to the measurement items. The number of openings 5 is As shown, about 6 to 15 are shown, but are appropriately selected depending on the body fluids and components to be measured.

The support member 6 is provided with ventilation holes 8 a to 8 f for each opening 5. The ventilation holes 8a to 8 # are provided for more smoothly penetrating and diffusing body fluids, and a plurality of ventilation holes may be provided for each opening. The support member 6 holds the reagent members 5a to 5f uniformly from the side, and is formed of, for example, rubber, synthetic resin, or the like.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a reagent part cover member for protecting the reagent surface, and is made of PET, polyester, or the like. It is preferable that the reagent member 7 has a light transmitting property when optically measuring the reagent member. The reagent member 7 is unnecessary when, for example, the reagent members 5a to 5f are sufficiently held in the opening 5 and do not drop. Alternatively, an air opening 8 g may be formed on the contact surface between the reagent part 7 and the reagent members 5a to 5f. In this case, the vents 8a to 8f can be omitted.

The size of the entire test chip depends on the number of reagents, but when six reagents are formed as in this example, the diameter of the porous sheet is about 1 Omm and the thickness is about 2 mm However, it is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, the shape is a disk shape, but may be a square, a rectangle, or any other shape that clarifies positional information of a plurality of reagent parts, and the shape and material thereof are appropriately selected. Further, such an inspection chip may be housed in a case of a floppy disk, or may be entirely processed into a floppy disk.

Next, the operation of the test chip of the present embodiment will be described. Here, the body fluid is blood. Quantify one drop of blood from fingertips with a lancet needle, etc. Take a blood collection capillary and dilute 10 to 10 times the blood 80 to 3001 with 9 volumes of physiological saline into the dropping part 2. The amount of blood It is not limited to this numerical range because it is appropriately adjusted depending on the size of the data. The dropped diluted blood moves concentrically and in a downward direction while separating and diffusing blood cells, and reaches each reagent holding member. Thereafter, the reagents dissolve and react, penetrate evenly into each reagent holding member, and the color reaction corresponding to each reagent develops color in proportion to the serum content. The time from the dropping to the reaction is as fast as 1 minute to several minutes, and thereafter it is stable for several minutes to 5 to 10 minutes, and it is possible to obtain biometric information more quickly. Further, as shown in the present embodiment, the present apparatus has a possibility of simplifying the manufacturing since it has a simple laminated configuration with a small number of parts.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a second embodiment of the simplified body fluid inspection unit according to the present invention. Reference numeral 20 denotes an inspection chip having the configuration shown in FIG. 1, for example. Reference numeral 21 denotes a drop portion of a body fluid, and 22 denotes a reagent member, which correspond to the drop portion 2 shown in FIG. 1 and the reagent members 5a, 5b, respectively. The reagent holding member 22 may be formed in a disk shape having a little depth (for example, the thickness of the reagent members 5a, 5b ... shown in FIG. 1B), but at least for optical measurement. Surface area (e.g., the surface area of 5a to 5f shown in Fig. 1C) can be reduced to further concentrate the body fluid that has arrived due to the centrifugal force acting on the reagent member, and to improve the color density. It is. By reducing the surface area of the reagent part, the color development area also decreases, but since color development with a higher concentration can be obtained, color measurement for measuring components becomes easier. In this case, it is more effective to make the depth of the reagent member slightly larger.

Further, in order to more effectively use the centrifugal force, a reagent member having an elongated shape, for example, a curved shape along the circumference may be formed. In this case, the coloring reaction is further promoted.

The configuration of the inspection chip is not particularly limited to the above configuration. Deformation is possible. Alternatively, devices described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. Hei 10-204 617, Hei 10-204 6 18, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-264 19, etc. Can also be used.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a rotating means for storing and rotating the test chip 20, and has a concave portion 33 having a shape for mounting the test chip, in which the test chip 20 is stored and fixed. At the same time, a removable configuration is adopted. The concave portion 33 is formed at a position on the rotating plate 34 such that the center thereof corresponds to the center of the dropping portion 21 of the test chip 20. The rotating plate 34 has a disk shape in the figure, but may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use, such as a square shape. Further, the inspection chip 20 and the rotating plate 34 may be of an integral type. 35 is a motor. The motor generates rotational motion by supplying electric power such as direct current or alternating current, and may use a motor capable of digitally controlling the number of rotations, stopping, and the like.

In the inspection unit having the above configuration, the bodily fluid L is dropped on the dropping portion 21 of the inspection chip 20, and the inspection chip 20 is mounted on the concave portion 33 of the rotating plate 34. Next, the motor 35 is driven to rotate the rotating plate 34 and the inspection chip 20. As a result, the bodily fluid moves from the dropping part 21 to the reagent holding member 22. The rotation of the motor 35 is stopped before and after the reagent and the body fluid react to form a color, the test chip 20 is removed from the concave portion 33, and the colored reagent member is photographed with a camera, a scanner or the like and analyzed.

A camera, optical sensor, etc. can be attached to the bottom of the concave part 3 3 facing the reagent member 22 so that it is possible to easily photograph the colored part without removing the test chip. It is.

A body fluid test unit as shown in Fig. 1 was prepared. Porous sheet made of Hemasep V (trademark) with a diameter of 12 mm and a thickness of 0.8 mm Six reagent members were arranged concentrically so that a part thereof overlapped the material. Each reagent member has a structure in which the same reagent is applied to two pieces of filter paper # 50 (manufactured by Adpantech) having a diameter of 3 mm and a thickness of 0.15 mm, freeze-dried, and laminated and contacted. For each of the six reagent members, a reagent for each component to be measured (for glucose (GLU), glucose B_Test Co., Ltd. (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.)) was used. For ALB), use BCG albumin test ADV, and for cholesterol (CHO), use cholesterol E • HA test ヮ Ko B 770 (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries) For triglyceride (TG), use triglyceride E-test (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and for uric acid (UA), use L type II UA-F ( (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), BCG reagent TP was used for all proteins (TP)), lyophilized, adjusted, and stored in a shaded and cold place until use. Mix diluted physiological saline for 8 1 _beta 1 in blood collected 9 beta 1, was added dropwise to the dropping portion. The progress of the reaction between the diluted blood and the reagent is shown in FIG. 3 as the time course of the chromaticity. According to the results, the dropped diluted blood uniformly and quickly penetrated into each reagent member after 30 seconds, and the color reaction had progressed to such an extent that optical measurement was possible after 2 minutes. When each concentration was converted using standard blood as an index, the measurement accuracy was less than 10%.

As described above, with the simple body fluid inspection unit of the present invention, it is possible to quickly perform highly accurate measurement on a plurality of components, despite its simple configuration.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the blood collector according to the present invention will be described.

In order to obtain in-vivo information, collecting blood and analyzing the collected blood components is more suitable than other means for obtaining accurate information. However, blood sampling itself is painful, and continuous blood sampling is difficult unless it is very good. On the other hand, with the advancement of blood analysis technology, simple and easy-to-handle analytical instruments have been proposed, and various analyzes can be performed easily with a small amount of blood. Due to these problems, the use of such excellent devices is limited, and there is a need for a proposal for a blood collection device that has substantial painlessness and simplicity. As the preceding blood collecting device, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 9-187327, a means by instantaneous collision of a damaged tool with a living body is shown.

Such damage due to a collision often causes excessive damage because a sufficient action must be taken when such damage is applied to a living skin having various strengths. Insufficient equipment for continuous blood collection every day.

Therefore, there is a need for a device that can suppress the pain of blood collection due to injury, obtain substantial painlessness, and can collect blood necessary for a blood test.

In view of the above, according to the present invention, there is provided a contact member which is in contact with a portion capable of holding a living body, a damaged member which is disposed on the contact member and damages the portion capable of holding the living body, and which is capable of holding the damaged member and the living body. A simple and practically painless blood collection device has been realized by a combination of moving means for relatively moving a part and causing contact damage.

In the present invention, the portion of the living body that can be pinched includes an earlobe, a fingertip, a state where the skin is picked up, and the like.

The contact member according to the present invention indicates a case where the contact member simply touches or a member that sandwiches the contact member. However, at least the contact member may be any member that can be fixed to the damaged part and form a damaged environment. . For example, those that attach a living body, such as affixed or suction attached, Is shown.

The damage means for damaging a living body disposed on the contact member in the present invention may be, for example, a needle or a blade, but may be any other sharp material such as a sharp glass piece or a ceramic piece. The arrangement on the contact member is, for example, such a state that the damage means is arranged through a space in the living body skin or is not damaged but is arranged, and the damage means is damaged. At this time, it is appropriately selected according to the moving amount, the size of the damage means, and the like.

The pinching member according to the present invention has, for example, a structure like a clothespin when the pinching is maintained for a certain time in the earlobe, and a structure like a stapler when the damage work is instantaneously completed. Is shown, but it is not limited to this.

The part that can be pinched in the living body is a state in which the living tissue is small in the pinched state, and even if stimulus is given, very little pain is required, and the part can be pinched. Stimulation can sufficiently alleviate the pain experienced by the organism.

Therefore, the thickness is not particularly limited as long as it can be pinched, but a thin portion is preferable.

In the present invention, the moving means for relatively moving the damaged member and the pinched portion of the living body to cause contact damage may include, for example, a means provided for colliding the damaged means with a living body, or fixing the damaged means. The living body is lifted by suction and brought into contact with the damaging means to cause damage, the suctioning means, the living body sandwiching portion on the opposite side to the damaging means side to contact and damage the living body and the damaging means, and Movement includes those that show vertical contact with the living body, as well as those in which the damage means moves on the surface of the living body at an angle.

<Embodiment of blood collection device> The present invention includes a contact member and a damaging means. As the contact member, the contact member is fixed to one surface of a portion capable of sandwiching a living body by pressing with a hand or the like, sticking, suctioning, or fixing the contact member with a fixture. However, it is preferable to use a structure that can hold a living body, such as clothespins or hot foxes, to fix a damaged part and form a favorable damage environment. It is preferable in that it can do things.

The damaging means is constituted by a blade, a needle or the like having a sharp portion as described above, which may be plural or singular, and the damaging means is arranged in the touching member, and This is exemplified by an operation in which it moves up or down quickly or slowly and comes into contact with a living body to cause damage. In addition, the contact member is fixed in such a manner that it comes into contact with the living body or is held at a certain distance, and the surface of the living body is lifted by suction to damage the contacting means with the damage means. An example is a configuration in which the surface opposite to the living body surface on which the damage means is attached is pushed up to make contact with the damage means.

As a structure for fixing such a damaging means and sucking the periphery thereof, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-63506 is preferably used.

The upper part of this case is equipped with an adjusting part 1 16 that adjusts the movement of the puncture part 112 toward the skin, and the lower part of the case 111 is used to extend the skin surface. Extension part 1 1 4 is attached.

A puncturing portion 112 is connected to the hollow portion via an elastic member 113 such as rubber, panel, or the like. Puncture section 1 1 2 A concave portion 115 for forming a locking relationship with the adjusting portion 116 is formed on a side surface portion.

As shown in FIG. 4D, the adjusting portion 116 has a shaft portion 162 formed on the adjusting support portion 161, and a panel portion 163 is mounted on the shaft portion 162. The adjustment support section 16 1 is rotatable about the shaft section 16 2, and the elastic force of the panel section 16 3 is the tip of the adjustment support section 16 1, and the puncture section 1 The locking portion 165, which has a locking relationship with the concave portion 1 15 of the module 12, is formed so that a force is applied in the direction of pressing the locking portion 165 toward the puncturing portion 112. Reference numeral 164 denotes an operation unit for performing an external operation, which is turned in the direction of the arrow by applying a little force to this portion.

The extension portion 114 is formed of a non-deformable member, and has one end connected to the hollow edge portion of the housing 111 and moves around the center. The extension portion 114 may be at least a rectangular plate-like body, and it is preferable that the other end is provided with a sheet of rubber or the like that increases the coefficient of friction with the skin. If necessary, a holding member 117 for holding a living body may be provided so as to face the housing 111. The holding device 1 17 has substantially the same area as the housing 1 1 1, and more preferably has a structure that can hold a living body or a structure that allows a certain amount of holding force to be applied. Things.

Next, the operation will be described.

Attach and attach the extension part 114 of the housing 111 to the living body. The extension section 114 operates to open toward the living body, and comes into contact with the living skin surface H as shown in FIG. 4B in a state where the living skin surface between the extension sections 114 is extended.

Pull the puncture part 1 1 2 upward. The elastic member 113 is in an extended state, and the recessed part 115 of the puncture part 112 and the locking part 165 of the adjusting part 116 are in the locked state as shown in FIG. 1D. Become. The state shown in FIG. 4B may be fixed by hand, fixed by an adhesive applied to the surface of the extension 114, fixed by a fixing band or other fixing device. It may be fixed and fixed, but if the blood collection operation is completed in a short time, holding it in hand may be sufficient.

Next, the operation unit 164 of the adjustment unit 116 shown in FIG. 4D is rotated in the direction of the arrow. By this rotation, the locking state between the locking portion 16 5 and the concave portion 1 15 is released, and the elasticity of the elastic member 113 in the extended state allows the puncturing portion 112 to It moves vigorously in the direction of the skin and collides with the skin's body-holding area H (Fig. 4C).

After that, the elastic members 1 13 come off the skin and return to the original state as shown in FIG. 4A. The area where the puncture collided is damaged and blood appears.

When adjusting the puncture degree, it is adjusted according to the distance moved to the information of the puncture part. The longer the puncture, the greater the degree of collision, the more damage to the skin and the larger the blood collection volume, but the more pain The travel distance is appropriately selected.

Since the living body holding portion is not stable on only one side, it is preferable that the holding portion is used to hold the living body holding portion using a holding tool 117. The pinching force stimulates the living body, and the irritation of the stimulus and the damage at the time of injury are offset, so that the pain can be further relieved.

Substantial painlessness includes the extent to which blood sampling can be performed at least continuously even if there is a slight tingling stimulus, except for more subjectively felt pain.

A force is applied to the gripping portions 205 and 206 so as to increase the distance between the puncturing portion 206 and the pressing portion 209, sandwiching the living body holding portion H, and releasing the holding portion. The formation of the living body holding portion H indicates the state of the ear lobe or the like when it can be already held, and indicates the state of the abdomen, arm, or the like when the skin is pulled up or pinched by the holding portion. It is formed by

A pinching force acts between the puncture part 2007 and the pressing part 209 due to the force of the panel part 203, and the puncture part 207 is fixed to that part. The sliding member 2 13 is slid in the direction of the grip portion 206 in advance. Due to this sliding, the convex portion 2 15, the locking portion 2 15 and the locking portion 2 19 of the release button are engaged, and the panel 2 16 is in a compressed state.

Reference numeral 407 denotes a sliding member, to which the upper pressing body 401 is connected by a support rod 408. The sliding member 407 slides left and right in the longitudinal direction when the support rod 408 opens and closes between the upper pressing body 410 and the intermediate body 402 on the intermediate body 402. .

Figure 7C shows an enlarged view of the area around the damage support. Reference numeral 409 denotes a damage support portion, which is formed in a cylindrical shape, and whose upper side surface 410 is arranged so as to slightly protrude from the intermediate body 402, and a sliding member 407 is provided on the upper side surface 41.

On the left side of the damage support portion 409, a sharp edge-shaped damage portion 412 is attached, and the damage portion 4122 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the damage support portion 409. . A panel 4 13 is arranged on the shaft 4 1 1. The panel 4 13 is mounted such that when the damaged support 4 11 rotates, it is compressed and a repulsive force is formed such that it rotates in the opposite direction (C 2).

Next, the operation will be described. The living body holding portion H is sandwiched between the intermediate body 402 and the lower holding body 403, and the upper pressing body 401 and the lower holding body 403 are gripped to apply a pressing force in both directions. The upper holding body 401, the intermediate body 402, and the lower holding body 400 move in the overlapping direction, and the panels 405 and 406 arranged between them are compressed, and the support rods 40 8 moves the sliding member 40.7 toward the damaged support. The sliding member 407 rotates the damaged support portion 409 (C 1), and the panel 413 is compressed and the damaged portion 412 rotates to damage the skin (FIG. 7B). . When the pressing force of the upper and lower clamps 401 and 402 is loosened, the repulsive force of the compressed panels 405 and 406 causes the body to be clamped between the intermediate body 402 and the lower clamp 4. Away from 0 3, Damaged support 4 0 9 is a panel 4 1 It rotates in the opposite direction (C 2) with the repulsive force of 3 and returns to the state shown in Fig. 7A. Blood is extracted from the area of skin damage caused by the injury, and blood is collected.

Lift the lid 503 (503 U). The blood that has emerged from the damaged part is moved upward in the lifted lid 503 The expression is promoted by the suction force. At 504, a capillary for blood collection and an impregnating material are introduced and collected. Then, the lid 503 is lowered. When blood is collected again, it is performed by raising the sandal part, and blood can be continuously collected from the same site while being attached to the earlobe. In the present invention, a biocompatible member is used for the lid, but a member that does not adhere to the living body, for example, titanium is preferable. However, when blood is collected in a short time every several days, a high In some cases, droxypatite may be sufficient.

As described in detail above, according to the present blood collection device, the simple and substantially painless expression and collection of blood can be performed by proposing a combination configuration in which blood is collected at a site where a living body can be clamped. It has the effect that it can be performed.

Body fluid sampling device>

The present embodiment relates to an apparatus for collecting a bodily fluid exudate. In order to obtain information about the body, it is common to collect blood and test its blood components, but blood collection is performed by piercing the needle to some extent deeply, and it is painful. Due to the associated damage, blood is not easily collected unless necessary.

By the way, a method has been proposed that enables measurement of glucose, urea, etc., by detecting body fluid in which components in capillaries, not blood, are filtered by the skin (Jun Kimura et al., BIOINDUSTRY).

VOL.8, No.11, 30 to 38, 1991). This method is non-invasive and does not hurt the patient, suggesting use at home.

This method discloses a configuration in which the body fluid is collected by aspirating the surface of a living skin, but requires several tens of treatments with an adhesive tape or the like in order to remove the stratum corneum, which is a plya layer. And it takes effort is there.

This device realizes obtaining exudate bodily fluid by a simple operation with a combination structure consisting of a damage member that damages a shallow part of the surface of the living skin, and a suction unit that suctions the damaged part after the damage member is damaged. did. In other words, this device vibrates or rotates abrasives such as paper files, short needles, short blades, etc., and abuts the skin, causing slight damage to the stratum corneum and part of the epidermis, Extraction of the exuded bodily fluid was easily achieved by aspirating the site.

Damaged members in this device are, for example, for abrasives, particle size

10 to 100 μπι about diamond, corundum, emery, silicon carbide, chromium oxide, artificial diamond, etc., fixed to carrier with adhesive, fine needle, fine blade, etc. , Which means that it vibrates up and down or rotates in various directions.

Examples of the suction unit in the present apparatus include a mechanical suction unit such as a suction electromagnetic pump and a physical suction unit such as a molecular sieve. The extent of suction is exemplified by the range shown in the above-mentioned known paper. However, in this device, the damage to the stratum corneum is more efficient, and the damage may be less than that. In some cases, the above-mentioned known papers may be used.

This device first creates an environment in which exudate bodily fluids can be extracted by moderate damage to the stratum corneum, and then promotes exudation by suction. Moderate damage to the stratum corneum can be obtained by vibrating or rotating each of the fine abrasives, needles, blades, or a combination thereof, and bringing them into contact with the skin surface in that state. The degree of contact damage is originally about a few tens of microns in the stratum corneum, so contact damage should be performed at such a depth.However, from the viewpoint of promoting bodily fluid leaching, further modification is required. In addition, contact damage may be performed at a depth of about several tens of microns.

The thickness of the stratum corneum differs in each part of the human body, and the amount of bodily fluid exudation also differs in various parts of the living body. In some cases, the contact damage time may be as short as several seconds, but it is also appropriately selected depending on the body part, the amount of the detected body fluid, and the like.

Examples>

9A and 9B show an embodiment of the present apparatus, which will be described in detail. FIG. 9A is a side view showing a cross section of a side surface of the present apparatus, and FIG. 9B is a view showing a surface of a carrier to which an abrasive is attached, that is, a bottom surface.

In this embodiment, the disk-shaped carrier 611 is provided with the abrasive selected from the above, or the damaging means 614 made of fine needles and blades having a height of about several millimeters, and further suctioning. A plurality of suction ports 613B and suction grooves 613A are provided.

The surface area of the carrier 611 is selectively used depending on several mm ² or more, an adaptation site, a sampling amount, and the like. The suction port 6 1 3 B is provided with a conduction path 6 13 for suction inside the carrier 6 1 1, and all the conduits 6 1 2 are connected at the suction connection end 6 1 5, and the suction opening and closing valve 6 1 7 It is connected to the suction device 6 18 via. Reference numeral 619 denotes a force-par member, which has a concave shape with respect to the skin and has a structure that seals the space containing the carrier 611 when coming into contact with the skin.

The suction groove 6 13 A is used to form a suction path for sucking bodily fluid at the periphery of the carrier without forming a conduction path 6 13 inside the carrier, and a suction port 6 13 It has a role to connect with B and increase the suction efficiency of the carrier surface.

Either one or both of the suction port 6 13 B and the suction groove 6 13 A may be provided.In order to suction the surface of the carrier, it is preferable that the suction area is large. Selected. Furthermore, with suction port 6 1 3 B The suction groove 6 13 A may be used effectively when the exuded bodily fluid is retained by utilizing its capillary action. That is, the bodily fluid that has been expressed by suction is held in contact with each suction port and suction groove, and then immersed in a buffer solution in this state. This is because the detection may be completed.

6 16 is a driving means. The driving means 6 16 has a configuration for generating a driving force such as vibration and rotation of the carrier 6 11. For example, a combination of a battery, a vibration motor or a rotation motor is shown. . The driving means 6 16 may be other than such an electric means, and may use, for example, a compression instantaneous force of a panel such as a mainspring, a panel panel, and a coil spring. In addition, if the vibration or rotation at the time of damage is small, the drive means may be moved manually. In the case of vibration drive, the frequency may be higher than that of ultrasonic waves, in which case less damaging and damaging actions can be obtained. Reference numeral 620 denotes a connecting portion for transmitting the driving force generated by the driving means 6 16 to the carrier 6 11.

Next, the operation will be described.

In using this apparatus, the drive means 6 16 is driven by bringing the carrier's abrasive 614 attached surface into contact with the living skin H. The driving means 6 16 vibrates or rotates with respect to the skin, for example, in the range of vibration directions A to C. The vibration in the direction A is a longitudinal vibration to the living body. In this case, a needle may be appropriate as a damaging means, but other than that, even abrasives can sufficiently damage the living body. In some cases. The vibration in the direction B vibrates in parallel to the living body.In this case, the blade may be appropriate as a damaging means. B may be preferred in some cases.

C indicates the direction of rotation, and the number of rotations and the direction of rotation are arbitrary, The higher the number of rotations, the more preferable it is that the amount of stimulation to the living body can be suppressed. In this case, as the damage means, one coated with an abrasive is preferably used. This vibration or rotation is transmitted to the carrier 6 11 and damages the skin H. Thereafter, the suction device 618 is activated, and the skin is sucked from the suction port 613B or the suction groove 613A. The suction time is determined by the amount of bodily fluid exuded, the amount to be collected, and the detection site. In addition, there is a case where the liquid is not suctioned, or if the first suction is performed, then sufficient leaching is performed thereafter. The suction time is, for example, several seconds to several tens of minutes, but is not particularly limited. The body fluid exposed at the damaged part may be collected by suctioning with another suction tool or by holding it in the suction port 613B or suction groove 613A.

When the skin is damaged, the skin may be sucked in advance or may be sucked in the course of the damage, and the body fluid can be obtained more quickly by sucking in advance during the course of the damage. . In addition, the present device can damage the skin more quickly and effectively by stretching the surface of the living skin when polishing or aspirating the skin.

The connecting portion 62 2 is configured to operate so as to open outward of the carrier 6 11 1 and lock in that state. That is, when attaching the carrier to the living body, the extension part 62 1 is attached to the living body, and in this state, the carrier is pushed toward the living body, whereby the connecting part 62 2 moves outward, With the outward movement, the skin is also stretched, and when the connecting portion 62 is locked in that state, the skin is also stretched.

Another embodiment of the present apparatus is shown in FIG. 11 and described. 631 is a porous carrier, which is made of ceramics, metal, wood, or the like, the surface of which is composed of a large number of holes, and has an overall fine uneven shape. The size of the porous aperture should be large when aspirating through the porous carrier 631, and smaller when maintaining the exposed body fluid. It may be preferable to do so. Further, an abrasive may be attached to the surface.

Reference numeral 632 denotes a suction port, and here, a configuration in which suction is performed via the carrier 631 is shown. Reference numeral 633 denotes a cover member, which is formed by a concave member opened toward the skin and has a structure for forming a closed structure for efficiently sucking the periphery including the carrier.

In this state, the driving means 634 is driven. The carrier 631 vibrates or rotates based on the driving force of the driving means 634, and damages the stratum corneum on the skin surface.

Since the degree of the damage is caused by the surface shape of the porous material itself, it is preferable because it is relatively soft and causes little damage to a living body. The suction means 637 is driven, the on-off valve 636 is opened, and the skin is sucked through the carrier 632. The leached bodily fluid is filled with voids in the porous material. After that, the carrier 632 is immersed in a buffer for dilution if necessary, so that the bodily fluid is released from the carrier 632.

FIG. 12 shows another embodiment.

Reference numeral 641 denotes a carrier, which is provided with a concave portion in the center, and is preferably made of a deformable member such as rubber, and has a damaged portion around which an abrasive, a needle, a blade or the like is attached. 2 are formed, and a plurality of suction grooves 643 are provided in a part thereof.

Reference numeral 646 denotes a force par member which is open toward the living body, and has a configuration for being in contact with the living body to seal the space containing the carrier and to effectively apply a suction force.

Reference numeral 647 denotes a suction port for connecting to an external suction means (not shown). As the external suction means, those shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are referred to.

The operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 will be described.

The carrier 641 is brought into contact with the surface of the living skin. At the same time, the force-par member 6 4 6 is also brought into contact with the surface of the living skin to form a closed space. At this time, the concave portion 641 'of the carrier has a function of sucking a living body with the deformation of the carrier itself at the time of contact. With this suction force, concentration of body fluid can be promoted.

Next, the driving means 645 is driven, the carrier 641 is driven, and the living skin is damaged by the damaged portion 642. The suction means is operated, and the portion immediately below the damaged portion 642 is sucked through the suction groove 6443. By this suction, the exposed body fluid is held in the suction groove 643. In that state, stop suction. The body fluid held in the suction groove 6 To be collected. In this case, it is preferable because the configuration of the suction groove 644 to the carrier can be simplified.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 13, reference numeral 651 denotes a carrier, which has a triangular pyramid configuration. A suction port 653 is provided at the center of the tip of the carrier 651, and a damaged portion 652 is formed around the suction port 653. The suction port 653 is connected to the suction path 654, and is connected to an opening / closing valve and suction means (not shown). Reference numeral 655 denotes a driving means, which is exemplified by a driving means for electrically or mechanically or manually driving the driving force as described above, but may also have a suction means in some cases. Reference numeral 656 denotes a grip portion, which is provided mainly for being used by hand.

Next, the operation will be described.

It has a gripping portion 656, and the portion of the damaged portion 652 contacts the skin surface of the living body. Driving means 65 5 is driven. In this case, the driving means 6555 operates, for example, to rotate the carrier 654 in parallel with the living body. After the damage operation of the damaged portion 652, the suction means is driven to suck the living body from the suction port 653. After the bodily fluid has leached out, the suction port may hold the bodily fluid in some cases.

The present embodiment has a configuration in which the area to be damaged can be reduced, and the body fluid can be collected more easily.

Next, another embodiment of the present apparatus will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 14A is a perspective view, and FIG. 14B is a side view. In the figure, reference numeral 661 denotes a force par member having a shape having an opening 666 on a contact surface with a living body, and showing an electric razor-like configuration. The shape of the opening 666 is exemplified by one or more rectangular shapes and circular shapes. Reference numeral 662 denotes a carrier, which operates so as to rotate in the vertical direction with respect to the living body around the shaft 665. Carrier 6 6 2 Partially spiral The blade body 6 64 having a simple configuration is mounted. This blade body 664 is composed of one or more. '

Reference numeral 666 denotes a motor, which transmits the rotation to the carrier 662 via a transmission member 667. The motor 666 is merely an example, and when continuous rotation is not required, a configuration using an instantaneous force of a mainspring, a spring coil, a plate panel, or the like, or a manual drive may be used. Reference numeral 666 denotes an on-off valve, which is connected to the suction means 669 to suck a living body from the opening 666 at the time of opening.

Also, in this embodiment, a suction unit 669 and a driving unit 663 such as a motor may be integrally provided, and the whole may be configured as an electric razor.

Next, the operation will be described.

As shown in FIG. 14B, the opening 666 of the force-par member 661 is brought into contact with the skin surface H of the living body. The motor 663 is driven to rotate the carrier 662. Blade 664 damages the skin surface slightly projecting from opening 666. The amount of force applied during this abutment controls the degree of damage. After the damage, the suction means is driven, the on-off valve 668 is opened, the skin is sucked through the opening 666, and the body fluid is exposed. The exposed body fluid is collected with a suction device such as a spot.

The present embodiment is mainly of a hand-held type, but can be used in such a manner as to use an electric razor, so that simple use is possible.

As described in detail above, the body fluid sampling device does not need to cause deep damage to the living body such as blood sampling, and can be used repeatedly and can collect sufficient body fluid to obtain biological information. It has effects such as:

Hereinafter, the body fluid inspection system will be described. When insulin and the like must be administered in a timely, accurate and continuous manner based on in-vivo information, such as in the treatment of diabetes, accurate understanding of in-vivo information can be a more effective means to reduce patient pain As a result, devices with built-in sensors for grasping the information have been proposed. However, grasping the in-vivo information is left to the operation and self-judgment of the patient, and the burden on the patient is heavy.

Also, even for healthy people, in the current situation where there is high interest in health due to aging and increasing stress, a health checkup once a year, Insufficient and short-term regular visits are difficult in practice because of the costs and time involved in outpatient visits for health examinations.

Under these circumstances, the only option is to make a self-diagnosis, such as by purchasing an appropriate diagnostic device, but in the end, it is hard to say that it is a sufficient diagnosis, leading to incorrect renewal or delay. There are many things. Therefore, there is a need for a means to easily obtain information about one's own body at home or in daily life, not only for specific patients.

In view of the above, an information forming means for forming in-vivo information, a means for embedding and transmitting body fluid component information digitized by the information forming means on a transmission medium, and a diagnostic process for restoring the transmitted body fluid component information In addition, the present invention proposes a body fluid testing system including means for returning the diagnostic information to the transmission source. In the above-described system, information that can diagnose a health condition or various diseases from the body fluid component by, for example, collecting a body fluid. In addition to detecting the information, by transmitting the detected information to a doctor or a medical institution capable of diagnosing, accurate and accurate in-vivo information can be easily obtained.

In the means for forming in-vivo information in this system, the in-vivo information mainly refers to the collected bodily fluids, their bodily fluid components, and non-invasive but not collected It shows the body fluid components obtained from the attack, but also shows information obtained from the living body such as electrocardiogram, heart rate, body temperature, etc., and a combination of these, and is collected or detected as appropriate as necessary Things. Examples of the body fluid include blood, sweat, urine, semen and the like, but any fluid excreted from a living body may be used without having a liquid property directly.

Informatization, for example, means that components in body fluids are separated and extracted and converted into data.The means for separation and extraction is a special method that removes unnecessary substances from collected body fluids. Filter paper may be used, and such a filtration step may not be necessary depending on the state of the measuring device. Tongue-out refers to a state in which visual, audible, and tactile information on the target component can be obtained.For example, a reagent impregnated with a reagent that develops or changes color in response to individual components of bodily fluids A case is shown in which paper is impregnated with a bodily fluid or a separated liquid that has been subjected to a specific separation from a bodily fluid, and the reaction shows a pattern that can be optically inspected such as color. In addition, there are cases in which the reaction appears as a pattern, a state in which a sound with a specific wavelength is repeatedly output, and a state in which the surface is undulated depending on the component amount. In addition, a specific light source may be irradiated to the body fluid sample, and the reflected return light may be in the form of a photoelectrically converted analog signal. In this state, diagnosis cannot be performed on the spot, but such conversion processing may be included in the extraction as long as the data is appropriate for transmission to the organization that processes the diagnosis.

The data is, for example, data that can be carried on a transmission medium, and may be represented by numerical data or encoded data. This indicates, for example, an electronic, optical, ultrasonic, sonic, magnetic, or electromagnetic signal that can be digitally or analogly modulated, but can be transmitted to at least a diagnostic processing institution. Anything is fine. The transmission medium for `` embedding and transmitting on the transmission medium '' in the `` means for embedding and transmitting the body fluid component information digitized by the information conversion means on the transmission medium '' includes, for example, radio waves, infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, Embedding means, for example, amplitude, frequency, or digital modulation, such as sound waves and electricity, and should be at least reproducible on the transmission medium.

In the present system, "means for restoring the transmitted body fluid component information for diagnosis and returning the diagnostic information to the transmission source, restoring the transmitted body fluid component information for diagnostic processing" In this case, it indicates mainly a doctor, hospital, or institution that can make a diagnosis, and if it is a healthy person, a public service organization or a private service organization may further function as the receiver. Reconstruction refers to, for example, a signal obtained by demodulating a modulated signal. If the transmitted data is in the state of an electric signal including spectrum information, it is analyzed and converted into desired data. May be shown.

Diagnosis processing is processing to derive judgment information within a range that can be known, such as judgment of the presence or absence of disease, judgment of the amount of drug solution to be administered, judgment of the presence or absence of drug solution administration, etc. This includes diagnosis by numerical data processing, diagnosis by numerical processing of data, or processing of further transmitting to a specialized organization to receive comments on the transmitted information and summing up the information.

The term "reply" in this system indicates that at least the diagnostic data or diagnostic-related data is transmitted to the sender, and the same communication medium as that used for transmission is used. If so, it may indicate that the information will be sent to the user via another medium that is available even at the destination, and the content of the reply will be returned to the sender again as information that is likely to be related to internal information The transmission of the message may be a request from a user. If you can go to a hospital, such as a hospital, your doctor or ad pie The action that the user visits and explains directly to the user may be included in the “reply”.

Embodiment>

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the main body liquid inspection system. In the figure, reference numeral 710 denotes a body fluid adjusting unit, which is a simple body fluid test unit shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 or, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. — Blood is diluted and developed as needed, as described in JP-A-2004-204, JP-A-10-204, 199, and blood cells are filtered between them. However, a configuration is shown in which color is supplied by supplying to a plurality of reagent layers. The reagent layer is where individual optical information is displayed, depending on the components and amounts reached. This is merely an example, and may be, for example, magnetic information or other information, whether invasive or non-invasive, rather than optical. It is sufficient that the type and amount of the components can be read from the surface of at least the reading section 71 1 at the subsequent stage.

Reference numeral 711 denotes a reading unit, which only needs to be able to read the information obtained by the above-mentioned body fluid adjusting unit 7110.For example, when the components are displayed in color by the body fluid adjusting unit 7110, respectively. , A CCD camera, a photographic film, an image scanner, etc., and if measuring absorbance, irradiate a coherent light such as a laser or infrared light to capture the screen or the reflected or transmitted light. An example of obtaining a spectrum distribution and converting it to an electric signal is exemplified.

At this location, the state to be converted is determined at least by the processing form of the subsequent processing unit 7 12. For example, if the processing unit 712 is a combi- ter, the reading unit 711 has a function of converting into a digital electric signal such as an AD converter.

Reference numeral 712 denotes a processing unit, which is constituted by a computer or the like. The data obtained by the reading unit 711 is processed simply or in detail, and The value is calculated and converted into data suitable for transmission to the subsequent central processing unit 7 16. Appropriate data is, for example, information to which data such as the patient's name, age, and symptoms are added.

Reference numeral 713 denotes a display / storage unit, which includes a monitor display, a hard disk, and the like, and displays data processed by the processing unit 712, and temporarily or permanently records the data. .

Reference numerals 714 and 718 denote transmission / reception units, each of which includes a modem, a TA, a mobile phone, a laser, a light emitting diode, an ultrasonic transducer, and the like, is appropriately configured by a transmission medium, and has a modulation and demodulation function. are doing.

Reference numeral 715 denotes a transmission medium, which indicates a wired form or a wireless form such as a telephone line, an optical fiber, an electric wave, an ultrasonic wave, an infrared ray, etc., and is appropriately selected in that situation. Reference numeral 716 denotes a central processing unit, which processes the data transmitted from the processing unit 7 12 into data that can be diagnosed, and can diagnose data that cannot be diagnosed by the central processing unit 7 16 This is a part for composing data to be transmitted to the processing unit, and is converted into data that can be stored in the storage unit 171 divided according to each processing unit.

Reference numeral 177 denotes a storage unit, which separates data sent from each processing unit and records the data temporarily or permanently. Here, with the transmission medium 7 15 interposed, the configuration from the reading section 7 11 1 to the transmission / reception section 7 14 is referred to as a user terminal 700, and the configuration after the transmission / reception section 7 18 as a diagnostic terminal 7 01 .

Next, the operation of the present system will be described using body fluid as blood.

Blood L obtained from a fingertip or the like is dropped into body fluid adjusting section 710 in a diluted state as necessary. After the blood cells are separated, the reagent is allowed to react and the color is developed. The reading unit 711 captures the type of color development and shading using an image scanner, CCD camera, etc. The signal is converted into a digital signal, converted to a digital signal, and output to the processing unit 712 as basic data. The processing unit 712 compares the basic data with template data comprising a relationship between the color, shading and component amount provided in advance, and displays the simplified diagnostic data on the monitor of the display recording unit 713. The date, time, weather, interrogative health status, and other preliminary information are stored together on the recording medium.

Further, the processing section 712 outputs the basic data to the transmission / reception section 714, and outputs the modulated data. In this case, when the purpose of diagnosis may be limited, or when the capacity of the basic data is too large, only the simple diagnosis data may be transmitted. An image obtained by photographing the reagent section may be transmitted as basic data, and the processing section 7 12 may not perform a simple diagnosis. When the data to be sent takes a long time or when it is necessary to send and receive data faster, it is possible to pick up only the main part of the data and send it, or perform so-called data compression. It is more preferable to send it in a compact form. The selection of the main part is mainly made by arbitrarily or automatically selecting a place where the reaction is sufficiently performed. As the compression technique, for example, known methods such as JPEG, LZW, and LHA are suitably used.

The diagnostic terminal 701 receives the transmitted data, demodulates the data, and inputs the demodulated data to the central processing unit 716. The central processing unit 716 possesses various template data in advance, analyzes the basic data by various methods based on the template data, diagnoses the data, and displays the data on a monitor. Diagnostic data is created automatically, or doctors and advisors create diagnostic data based on data displayed on a monitor. It is recorded in the recording unit 717 together with the transmitted data, the accompanying data and the diagnostic data.

The data recorded in this recording section 7 17 is used as reference data for the next diagnosis. Used to diagnose patient trends and conditions. Further, the data created by the diagnosis is transmitted to the user terminal 700 that is the transmission source.

In addition, in this system, when the diagnostic content is complicated, the data is transmitted from the diagnostic terminal 8 11 to other specialized diagnostic terminals 8 12 to 8 15 as shown in Fig. 16, Therefore, they may obtain specialized information.

When the user terminal 700 has a combined configuration of a mobile phone and a small photographing device, the reading unit 711 in FIG. 15 indicates a small CCD camera and image scanner, and the processing unit 712 The storage display unit 713 and the transmission / reception unit 714 constitute a mobile phone. This is shown, for example, by the combination of the reading section 9 14 and the mobile phone 9 17 in FIG. Note that mobile phones naturally include PHS, iridium and the like. Further, the reading unit 711 is more preferable because a CCD camera or the like mounted on a mobile phone has unity and portability.

The operation of the present system will be described below.

As described above, the color developing state of the body fluid component to be measured is read by the reading unit 7111 by the body fluid adjusting unit 7110. Displays the surface image of the reagent part of the body fluid adjustment unit that was read and, when sending data as it is, the ability to send it as is, or when there is a large amount of data, visually select the part that needs to be sent Or automatically select a predetermined site in the image, or automatically select a site effective for diagnosis in the image, and perform compression and compression as necessary. The transmitted data is transmitted.

If the data is not sent as is and the diagnosis is performed on the mobile phone side, the coloration state is compared with the built-in coloration state and template data indicating a numerical relationship, and the numerical value corresponding to the matching coloration state is displayed. Template If the template data cannot be stored, an external storage device that stores the template data may be further connected, or the template table may be sequentially read, and the match / mismatch may be compared by the processing unit 7 12 in the mobile phone. . The means of using the template data is merely an example, and a diagnosis algorithm in another device may be applied. The data processed as described above is transmitted from the processing unit 7 12 to the transmission / reception unit 7 14. It is transmitted to the diagnostic terminal 701 via the radio wave medium 715 via the radio communication medium 715. The diagnostic terminal 700 performs the above-described diagnostic processing on the transmitted data, and returns the result to the user terminal 700. At this time, if the user terminal 700 cannot receive it, for example, using an Internet mail server, it is temporarily stored there, or the voice mail function is carried in the same state as voice. It may be recorded temporarily inside the phone. The format of the returned data may be audio only, image only, or both.

By using a mobile phone as a user terminal in this way, it can be suitably used by elderly people, people with physical disabilities, and people who do not know computers. It should be noted that this may be an ordinary wired phone instead of a mobile phone, and in particular, since the phone diagnostic data combined with the fax is displayed on paper, the data is sent to the user in an easy-to-understand manner, which is preferable. It is. Alternatively, for a telephone with an LCD, the user can easily understand it by displaying it on the LCD.

Also, for a telephone or other terminal having a voice output device, the diagnostic data may be output by digital synthesized voice, and in this case, the transmission data capacity can be reduced. Usually, when the Internet is used as a transmission medium, a mail server is preferably used from an economical point of view. That is, the user terminal uses his or her basic data Into a file and send it to the e-mail address corresponding to the diagnostic terminal. The diagnostic terminal opens this e-mail and diagnoses it, then attaches the diagnostic data to the e-mail and sends it to the user terminal. The user terminal arbitrarily opens this e-mail and obtains the diagnosis result.

In this case, the e-mail is restricted by the information unique to the user terminal and the diagnostic terminal, and it is preferable that only the both can be opened. A publicly known encryption means for that purpose may be incorporated. If an interview is required, a TV function, a telephone function, a chat function, and other direct communication means used on the Internet will be used.

In this system, it is preferable to use the Internet as a transmission medium and to connect directly to a diagnostic terminal via a telephone line. That is, they are used alternately, and general-purpose information that may be leaked or seen by others is connected via the Internet, and private information is connected using a dedicated line. By doing so, complicated operations such as encryption can be avoided.

In the system, the user or the patient may perform the processing until the body fluid is provided, and the other processing may be performed by remote control of a diagnostic institution. The computer must be in a state where the remote computer can be operated by remote access between the same protocols such as TCP 7 IP, Net BEUI, SPX / IPX, etc. Processing, acquisition, analysis, etc. may be performed by an arbitrary operation of an external diagnostic processing organization.

As a result, the burden on the user side is reduced, and the diagnostic processing institution can obtain only necessary and accurate data in order to make an accurate diagnosis. It is possible to have a role like a doctor.

In addition, diagnostic processing institutions use the Internet on a per-user basis. By providing homepage-type data that can be used, and by accessing the homepage-type data, users can arbitrarily read existing data, expert comments, and advice. . Such homepage-type personal data can be used on the Internet if the data is protected.

If you want to know the status of the user terminal and receive various services, use it by specifying it via the Internet line. When sending or receiving personal data, it should be switched automatically. At the time of transmission, dial-up is done to the provider and the basic data is transferred in various formats. When outputting personal data accompanying this data, the Internet line is cut off and dial-up to the telephone number of the diagnostic terminal to send the personal data. After transmission is complete, block dial-up.

The format of the personal data to be transmitted is, for example, one data in a state where a delimiter is attached by a code such as personal information and basic data information, and a specific folder (directory) is specified. Formats such as a basic data file and a personal information data file with names (for example, basic data should be a file prefixed with b and a personal information data folder prefixed with P).

In the case of data transmission using a touch panel system or a TV remote control system without using a computer, it is particularly preferable that these unique codes are automatically assigned based on selection actions. New More preferably, only by specifying data, the personal information and the data are transmitted separately.

'' If data transfer is difficult but you want to send and receive data immediately, such as in an emergency or when there is no communication with the diagnostic terminal due to a telephone line failure, this system uses a mobile phone or digital satellite Stable users in emergency situations by further combining Levi broadcasting The connection between the terminal and the diagnostic terminal can be secured. In other words, when transmitting emergency data, a mobile phone using a communication satellite, for example, an iridium type mobile phone, connects to a specific Internet provider. In this case, it is possible to connect directly to the diagnostic terminal, but a Web connection such as the Internet is more stable than a telephone line.

After being connected to the diagnostic terminal, basic data and personal data are transmitted. The diagnostic terminal may diagnose the basic data and transmit the resulting file or message to the other party using a public satellite digital television line. It is preferable that the data unique to the user terminal is transmitted in a file format, but it may be sufficient to display it directly in an emergency in case of emergency.

In such various transmission modes, in urgent cases or special cases, reliable data transmission / reception may be achieved by simultaneously transmitting data to usable media.

The center 920 may be connected to another center having more specialized knowledge, and may also serve as any or all of the connection mediating sections 918, 919, 923 . In some cases, the center is operated with the authority of the user. The right in this case is at least the right to manipulate your information, and according to this right The third party, such as a data center, cannot obtain data without the consent of the user, or cannot decrypt the data by encrypting it, and the following centers are formed even when the center goes bankrupt or disappears. Secure the safekeeping of information until

9 21 is a communication mediation means, such as an artificial satellite, an airplane, etc., which mainly receives radio waves transmitted from mobile phones and transmits them to the communication partner, and receives digital TV broadcasts and sends them to each region. It has a function of transmitting and outputting. Reference numeral 22 denotes a network, which indicates a general-purpose two-way communication network such as the Internet, a local network such as a LAN, and the like, which can perform bidirectional information communication regardless of wired or wireless. You should.

Reference numeral 923 denotes a connection mediation unit, which is mainly for connecting the center 920 with the network 9222. The connection mediation unit 923 represents a unit that connects a wired line or a wireless line to a network. Next, the operation will be described.

The body fluid is dropped into the dropping section 913 of the blood decomposition developing section 911. The dropped bodily fluid reaches the reagent section 912 while separating unnecessary components and reacts with the reagent to develop color. In a state where the color is developed, the color is introduced into the reading section 914, where a change caused by the reagent section 912 is detected and converted into data. Examples of the data include data before analysis such as blood glucose level and the like, which can be understood by immediate numerical visual observation, spectrum data, infrared absorption spectrum data, CCD image data, and the like.

The data is taken into, for example, the terminal 915 and automatically diagnosed based on a pre-recorded diagnostic criterion, stored in a storage medium, displayed on a monitor, and in the case of the Internet, The data is converted into data that can be read by users, such as bitmaps and text status, as so-called attachment files for transmission mails, transmission files, etc. At 920, it is transmitted via a dedicated line or telephone line 93C, a connection intermediary unit 918, a network 9222, a connection intermediary unit 923, via a dedicated line or telephone line.

If communication means are not available, the transmission from the terminal 915 to the center 920 is routed by mail, etc. using the floppy disk 93A, a wired telephone circuit such as a television telephone, or a wireless telephone such as a mobile telephone. A direct communication route using a line, a general-purpose telephone line or a dedicated line 9.3 B without using the connection mediation section 918, or a cell phone 917 that may be transmitted using the center 920 Based on this data, a diagnosis is made, or if the transmitted data is diagnostic data, a more specialized diagnosis is performed together with other information, and the diagnosis result data is transmitted to the terminal 915. The above-mentioned route is appropriately used to store and reply in some cases.

In addition, the center 920 communicates directly with the terminal 915 via the mobile phone 917, the wired phone 933B, and other telephone functions using voice or the photographing device 916 to conduct an interview. Obtain more detailed data and perform a re-diagnosis, or explain precautions directly.

Furthermore, this system uses the terminal 915 having such a tabletop property, and transmits the data obtained by the reading section 914 to the center 920 using the mobile phone 917. In some cases. In this case, the burden on the patient may be reduced because the desktop terminal is not used.

That is, the body fluid component data and the like transmitted to the mobile phone 917 are temporarily stored therein as a file, and then transmitted to the center 920 (93E). If it is larger, the input component data may be transmitted to the center 920 sequentially.

Alternatively, the data transmitted by the mobile phone 917 is transmitted to the connection mediation unit 911 and transmitted to the center 920 via the general-purpose network 922. An example is the Internet using mobile phones such as the so-called I-mode (trademark).

Via the communication intermediary unit 921, it is preferably used in places where there is no wired communication means, no relay means for mobile phones, or in an unusable state, etc., and is suitably used for elderly people in depopulated areas.

In addition, the center 920 provides the home page type user data for mobile phone display as described above, and the user can use his / her own terminal anywhere on the mobile terminal through a specific route. The preferred mode is to browse data, add-ups, etc., and send requests.

In addition, the terminal 915 is also used, for example, as a component of wired or wireless digital television broadcasting. Data is transmitted using wired or wireless media, but reception is captured via satellite or wire (93G), and by switching channels to handle television. It will be possible to obtain data and receive a diagnosis. Alternatively, the terminal 915 may transmit data to the center 920 in the morning, and the transmitted data from the center 920 may be obtained by a mobile phone 917 or the like. The diagnostic data may be obtained. Also, in this system, when data is transmitted using a route that may leak personal data such as a general-purpose network, data related to individuals and measurement data are divided, and personal data is dialed up. In some cases, the measurement data is transmitted over a general-purpose network such as the Internet using a transmission / reception method based on direct connection. this In transmission, they may adopt a method in which common data is divided in a state where they are added, and the data is transmitted along each route, and when the data arrives at the center, the data is combined based on the common data. In this case, it is possible to transmit and receive data with excellent confidentiality without using complicated procedures such as encryption, and to maximize the advantages of general-purpose communication such as the Internet and digital television broadcasting. It will be available only for a limited time.
