Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing whether a patient is accompanied by a caregiver and a device using the same, the method for providing whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver being configured to be implemented by a processor and including receiving an outpatient clinic record from a user device, tokenizing each sentence of the outpatient clinic record as a unit of at least one token, encoding the tokenized outpatient clinic record as an integer, and determining whether a psychiatric symptom occurs for a patient related to the outpatient clinic record by inputting the encoded outpatient clinic record by using a determination model that uses the encoded outpatient clinic record as an input and uses whether the psychiatric symptom occurs as an output.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for ascertaining whether a patient is accompanied by a caregiver, the method being implemented by a processor of a server and comprising:
receiving position data of the patient and position data of the caregiver;
determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver based on the position data of the patient and the position data of the caregiver;
generating a risk alarm related to the patient based on the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver; and
transmitting the risk alarm from the server to a user device,
wherein the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver includes a proximity calculation performed with reference to a time difference between collecting the patient position data and collecting the caregiver position data,
the method further comprising:
mapping real-time position locating system (RTLS) data related to the patient and the caregiver based on an ASCII code,
wherein the RTLS data is mapped before it is determined whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
setting a danger zone related to the patient,
wherein the danger zone is set before the patient position data and the caregiver position data are received from a position transmitter of the patient and a position transmitter of the caregiver, respectively.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the danger zone includes at least one zone in which a probability of a fall accident of the patient is greater than or equal to a first critical value.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
determining whether the patient is positioned in the danger zone based on the patient position data,
wherein the patient position relative to the danger zone is determined before it is determined whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
setting a danger time related to the patient,
wherein the danger time includes at least one time period and is set before the patient position data and the caregiver position data are received from the position transmitter of the patient and the position transmitter of the caregiver, respectively.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining, based on a current time, whether the danger time applies to the patient when it is determined that the patient is positioned in the danger zone.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTLS data mapping includes removing repetitious ASCII code appearing in the patient position data or the caregiver position data.

8. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the proximity calculation includes converting over time a route of the patient and a route of the caregiver into character strings, respectively, based on a logical zone, and
wherein the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver is based on a length difference between the character string of the patient and the character string of the caregiver.

9. A device for ascertaining whether a patient is accompanied by a caregiver, the device being implemented by a server comprising:
a communication part;
a storage part; and
a processor operably connected to the communication part and the storage part and configured to
receive position data of the patient and position data of the caregiver,
determine whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver based the position data of the patient and the position data of the caregiver,
generate a risk alarm related to the patient based on the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver, and
transmit the risk alarm from the server to a user device,
wherein the processor determines whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver by a proximity calculation performed with reference to a time difference between collecting the patient position data and collecting the caregiver position data,
wherein the processor is further configured to map real-time position locating system (RTLS) data related to the patient and the caregiver based on an ASCII code, and
wherein the RTLS data is mapped before it is determined whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver.

10. The device of claim 9 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to set a danger zone related to the patient, and
wherein the danger zone is set before the patient position data and the caregiver position data are received from a position transmitter of the patient and a position transmitter of the caregiver, respectively.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the danger zone includes at least one zone in which a probability of a fall accident of the patient is greater than or equal to a first critical value.

12. The device of claim 10 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether the patient is positioned in the danger zone based on the patient position data, and
wherein the patient position relative to the danger zone is determined before it is determined whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver.

13. The device of claim 12 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to set a danger time related to the patient, and
wherein the danger time includes at least one time period and is set before the patient position data and the caregiver position data are received from the position transmitter of the patient and the position transmitter of the caregiver, respectively.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine, based on a current time, whether the danger time applies to the patient when it is determined that the patient is positioned in the danger zone.

15. The device of claim 9 , wherein the RTLS data mapping includes removing repetitious ASCII code appearing in the patient position data or the caregiver position data.

16. The device of claim 7 ,
wherein the proximity calculation includes converting over time a route of the patient and a route of the caregiver into character strings, respectively, based on a logical zone, and
wherein the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver is based on a length difference between the character string of the patient and the character string of the caregiver.
