Description

Recognition information-based injection information management method and device for manual portable injection device The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing injection information used in a manual portable injection device (1), which is performed by an electronic device (100) including a camera (150). The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing injection information based on recognition information for a manual portable injection device, characterized by comprising: an injection device information recognition step (S10) for recognizing injection device information of the manual portable injection device (1) based on an acquired image of the manual portable injection device (1) acquired through the camera (150); an injection amount setting value recognition step (S20) for recognizing a dosage amount setting value set in the manual portable injection device (1) based on the acquired image and displaying it on a display (130); and an injection history information management step (S50) for storing and managing the injection device information and the dosage amount setting value as injection history information in the memory (110) after the injection is completed. Diabetic patients need to regularly measure blood glucose levels and maintain them at a normal level by injecting insulin based on the measurements to alleviate various symptoms caused by diabetes. In other words, the procedure of injecting insulin according to measured blood glucose is essential for diabetic patients; however, caution is required as the timing and dosage of insulin injection vary depending on the type of diabetes. Diabetic patients use disposable portable injectors (e.g., Sanofi’s Solostar® insulin injection pen) or reusable portable injectors that can be used by exchanging injection solution cartridges (e.g., Novo Nordisk’s Flexpen insulin injection pen, hereinafter referred to as “reusable injection devices”) so that they can inject insulin, a treatment, at any time while going about their daily lives. These portable infusion devices are commonly referred to as "insulin pens," regardless of whether they are single-use or cartridge-replaceable. Compared to insulin syringes, they offer advantages such as easy and convenient injection while out and about, and the ability to inject an accurate dosage through simple dial operation. (Hereinafter, these portable infusion devices are referred to as "manual portable infusion devices.") However, regardless of whether they were disposable or reusable, these manual portable infusion devices merely had the function of manually setting the injection volume and administering it; consequently, there was a fundamental problem in that it was impossible to systematically accumulate and manage the history of dosages and administration times. Furthermore, they were characterized by extreme variations in specifications, sizes, and shapes depending on the manufacturer and model. In order to solve these problems, various mounted management systems with different configurations have been proposed, such as the "Universal Dose Measurement and Management System with Dose Setting Knob for Pen-Type Injector Device" (Korean Published Patent No. 10-2020-0023850) in Patent Document 1 below or the "Universal Mounted Dose Measurement and Management System for Pen-Type Injector Device" (Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1958067) in Patent Document 2 below. However, all of these existing dosage management systems had a fundamental problem in that they could only be used by attaching a separate management system device to a manual, portable infusion device. Considering that such management system devices are typically relatively expensive, this can be a burden on the user. In addition, there was a problem that separate maintenance was required, such as charging, storing, and attaching the separate management system device. Meanwhile, rapid-acting and long-acting insulin can be administered to patients with type 2 diabetes, for example. In this case, since the timing and amount of administration for rapid-acting and long-acting insulin differ, considerable caution is required during administration. However, there is a problem in that it is not easy for the general public to distinguish between different types of insulin, and it is cumbersome to identify the insulin type and check the administration information every time an injection is administered.
