Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present application, as a method of determining whether to output an alert of a user's thyroid dysfunction, there may be provided a thyroid dysfunction monitoring method including receiving a user's medication information from an external device; selecting a monitoring algorithm to be used to determine whether to output the alert on the basis of the medication information; and determining whether to output the alert on the basis of the selected monitoring algorithm.
Claims7
A method of treating a hypothyroidism of a person, the method comprising:
- acquiring, using a wearable device worn by the person, a first set of data comprising heart rates of the person;
- assessing if a thyroid function is normal based on at least one thyroid hormone measurements test;
- computing, on a monitoring server, a reference heart rate of the person using the first set of data acquired in a first set of consecutive days in which the person's thyroid function is assessed normal,
- wherein the reference heart rate of the person is computed using heart rates belonging to a predetermined night section in the first set of consecutive days, thereby, even if movement of the person is detected by an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or a step detection sensor within the predetermined night section in the first set of consecutive days, the heart rates at that time are used to calculate the reference heart rate;
- subsequent to computing the reference heart rate of the person, acquiring a second set of data comprising heart rates of the person using the wearable device or another wearable device worn by the person;
- computing, on the monitoring server, a monitoring heart rate using the second set of data acquired in a second set of consecutive days,
- wherein an earliest day of the second set of consecutive days is later than an earliest day of the first set of consecutive days,
- wherein the monitoring heart rate of the person is computed using heart rates belonging to a predetermined night section in the second set of consecutive days, thereby, even if movement of the person is detected by the acceleration sensor, the gyro sensor, or the step detection sensor within the predetermined night section in the second set of consecutive days, the heart rates at that time are used to calculate the monitoring heart rate;
- determining, whether the person has hypothyroidism by comparing, on the monitoring server, the reference heart rate calculated using heart rates within the predetermined night section in the first set of consecutive days and the monitoring heart rate calculated using heart rates within the predetermined night section in the second set of consecutive days;
- and
- outputting an alert to the person in response to determining that the person has hypothyroidism, whereby the person conducts a blood test on the person in a hospital in response to the alert.
