Description

Device for Providing Non-Face-to-Face Remote Medical Treatment Service and Method for Controlling the Same The present invention relates to a device for providing non-face-to-face remote medical services and a method for controlling the same, and more specifically, to a device for providing non-face-to-face remote medical services and a method for controlling the same that can not only remotely monitor the condition of a patient in real time but also provide remote medical consultation services. This invention is the result of a patent application filed with the support of Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Economic & Science Promotion Agency's '2023 Global Startup Commercialization Support Program'. This invention is the result of a patent application filed with the support of the Korea Health Industry Development Institute's '2nd Health and Medical Technology Research and Development Project, Gene Delivery System Acceleration Project'. Recently, research and implementation efforts have been underway to provide medical services anytime and anywhere by integrating mobile communication networks with hospital information systems. However, the expansion of new medical markets, intensified competition in the medical industry due to rapid globalization, and patients' demands for high-quality medical services necessitate large-scale investment in medical equipment and IT facilities. Consequently, the competitiveness of small and medium-sized hospitals with limited resources is weakening. Furthermore, as a significant number of hospitals are facing staffing shortages, the issues of medical personnel scarcity and supply-demand imbalance are emerging as critical policy challenges and key topics for the medical industry. Consequently, there are frequent instances where hospitals are unable to recruit adequate medical personnel, leading to the closure or dysfunctional operation of relevant medical departments. Furthermore, the hiring of unqualified substitute personnel is not only causing a decline in the quality of medical services but also increasing the risk of frequent medical accidents. To improve the quality of medical services, which is declining due to this shortage of medical personnel, improvements to the hospital system are necessary. Considering that information and communication technology (ICT) is being applied across various fields, solutions utilizing ICT are emerging as a means of improving hospital systems. However, hospital systems utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) suffer from problems such as limited mobility or usability only within confined areas and poor scalability due to their complex configurations. Consequently, the utility and scalability of IT-based medical systems within the hospital are insufficient, making it costly to implement the system for a large number of patients.
