In paragraph 1, The above home robot or home appliance device includes at least one camera module to acquire an image of a user in the home and transmits data regarding the acquired user image to the healthcare platform server, and The above healthcare platform server is, Based on the received user image data, at least one of the user's heart rate information, the user's stress index information, and the user's mental health status information is estimated as the user's health-related status information. A digital healthcare system characterized in that the above-mentioned health-related status information is estimated using a pre-trained artificial intelligence learning model.
3. In paragraph 2, The above home robot or the above home appliance device is, A digital healthcare system characterized by providing the user with conversational interaction information in at least one form among video, text, and voice, based on user management information corresponding to the estimated health-related status information from the healthcare platform server, as health management for the user, including medication time management information, counseling information for improving mental health, and news information for health management.
4. In paragraph 3, The above healthcare platform server is, A digital healthcare system characterized by extracting multiple face feature vector data through continuous tracking of feature data of a user's face image, using user image information obtained through the home robot or home appliance device, and applying the extracted face feature vector data as input to a pre-trained artificial intelligence learning model related to stress index calculation to estimate and calculate the user's stress index.

Description

Digital Healthcare System Based on Home Robots and Appliances The present invention relates to a healthcare system, and more specifically, to a digital healthcare system capable of monitoring and managing the health of a user within the home based on a home robot or home appliance device located within the home. In Korea, as of July 2024, the population aged 65 or older exceeded 10 million, accounting for more than 20% of the total population. Consequently, health monitoring and management of the elderly population have become important policy and management matters not only at the local government level but also at the national level, leading to rapid growth in the related market. This is not unique to Korea but is becoming a common issue worldwide. Accordingly, healthcare services are becoming an essential solution for responding to the rapidly growing market and the aging society. In addition, recently, communication capabilities with external remote servers have been added to home appliance devices, and user information and user images can be acquired through cameras, etc. Furthermore, if a home robot residing in the home is introduced, interaction with the user and user monitoring become possible based on the results of acquiring user information and user images through the home robot. Therefore, technology is required to build a healthcare system based on user information acquired from home robots or home appliance devices. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system for explaining a digital healthcare system based on a home robot and appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is capable of various modifications and may have various embodiments, and specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the detailed description. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that it includes all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention. In describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of related prior art are omitted if it is determined that such descriptions may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention. Furthermore, numbers used in the description of this specification (e.g., first, second, etc.) are merely identifiers to distinguish one component from another. Furthermore, throughout the specification, when a component is referred to as being "connected" or "joined" with another component, it should be understood that the component may be directly connected or joined to the other component, but unless specifically stated otherwise, it may also be connected or joined through an intermediate component. Additionally, throughout the specification, when a part is described as "including" a component, unless specifically stated otherwise, this means that it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. Furthermore, terms such as "part" or "module" as used in the specification refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, and this implies that it may be implemented by one or more hardware or software, or a combination of hardware and software. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system for explaining a digital healthcare system based on a home robot and appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The digital healthcare system of the present invention is implemented as a system that monitors the user's health status in real time through home robots and home appliance devices, and manages it by linking it with a remote healthcare platform server. Home robots or appliance devices acquire various biosignals from the user, such as health-related status information like heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. This information can be automatically collected through sensors embedded in the device or various input devices, and is then transmitted to a remote server for analysis. Based on this, the healthcare platform server evaluates the user's current health status and determines whether the condition is good or requires caution. Additionally, the server can provide personalized healthcare management services and offers direct feedback to help users maintain a healthy lifestyle. This system provides great convenience to users by enabling real-time monitoring of their health at home, and can be particularly useful for the elderly or patients with chronic diseases who require continuous health management. In addition, the present invention includes a function to predict the user's health status, such as heart rate, stress index, and mental health status, by including a camera module in a home robot or home appliance device to acquire images of the user and transmitting them to a healthcare platform server.
