Personal healthcare services are a tool that provides the ability for an individual to safely store and manage all his or her health information for the lifetime of the person or family.

The entry into the aging society and the change of the western style of eating habits are leading to an increase in the number of chronic illnesses. In order to solve this problem, a self-care service is required for continuous health management before and after chronic illness.

As an example of a chronic disease, hypertension / hypotension requires self-management of blood pressure and the drugs used. However, the existing blood pressure self-management method simply failed to confirm the state of management by knowing and managing the blood pressure measurement result at that time, and the reliability of the measurement result was also insufficient.

Accordingly, in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1522233 (May 15, 2015, registered), a technology has been proposed that enables linkage to hospital information so that blood pressure can be self-managed by using a mobile service system. However, the Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1522233 discloses only the measurement results of blood pressure and blood sugar, and can not be linked to the medical treatment or the treatment process such as adjusting the amount or type of the medicine to be taken, The efficiency was significantly reduced.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] In recent years, a blood pressure monitor and a medicine receiving device, which are configured in such a manner that a blood pressure monitor is easily connected to a blood pressure monitor accessible to a hospital or a medical institution so that a blood pressure monitor can check blood pressure by himself / herself, .

However, the blood pressure monitor and the medicine receiving apparatus according to the prior art are merely a combination of the blood pressure monitor and the medicine storage box, and the organic binding and management functions are insufficient. In other words, since the patient or the management subject himself or herself has to check his / her blood pressure and judge himself / herself according to the result and take his / her blood pressure medicine, it is necessary to regularly administer the blood pressure medicine or adjust the dose according to the measured blood pressure value There is a problem in that the management efficiency is very low.

In the meantime, global pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies have been actively seeking new drugs or medicines in recent years, such as the REMOTE project for oversensitive bladder treatment in 2011, and the home-based practice of medical device clinical trials for AMP's osteoarthritic pain relief. Home-based clinical trials of medical devices are underway. In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure the reliability of the collected data if the remote monitoring technology and the means for identifying the subject are not guaranteed.
