Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a health parameter estimating system and a health parameter estimating method,

The present invention relates to a health parameter estimation system and a health parameter estimation method for estimating a health parameter using a bio-signal, and more particularly, to a health parameter estimation system and a health parameter estimation method for estimating a health parameter of a bio- To a health parameter estimation system and a health parameter estimation method for estimating a health parameter using only a health parameter.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, research and development on a bio-signal measurement embedded system that collects information from a bio-signal sensor provided in an automobile seat, a wheelchair, a bed, etc., and estimates a health parameter of a user,

Electrocardiogram (ECG), ballistocardiogram (BCG), and photoplethysmogram (PPG) are examples of representative bio-signals applied to such a system. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the transmission of electrical signals from the heart's SA node to the outside of the body. BCG is the measurement of vibrations caused by heartbeats outside the body. In addition, the optical pulse wave PPG utilizes the fact that the blood flow rate of the blood vessel changes periodically as the heart rate is shifted. The amount of reflected light is measured by using the amount of light reflected from the outside of the human body varies depending on the blood flow amount To estimate the heart rate.

Various health parameters such as heartbeat, arrhythmia, body temperature, and stress level can be estimated through the features extracted from the bio-signal.

In the meantime, such a bio-signal is measured in a non-contact state in a non-constrained state or in a non-subjective state. Since the bio-signal is accompanied by a dynamic state in which the body moves, a large motion artifact occurs, It is very difficult and therefore difficult to estimate accurate health parameters.

In order to solve such a problem, a method of increasing a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using a signal processing technique such as filtering is mainly used.

However, there is a problem in that a sensor for measuring a bio-signal does not directly contact the skin, the information loss is very large while the body is moving, and the amount of motion noise relatively higher than the bio- Since the absolute bio-signal information can not be increased, there is a limit to increase the SNR.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventive concept. Other embodiments falling within the scope of the inventive concept may be easily suggested, but are also included within the scope of the invention.

In the following description, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same components in the same reference numerals in the drawings.

1 is a conceptual diagram of a health parameter estimation system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, a health parameter estimation system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of sensors 110, a biological signal discrimination unit 120, a biological signal estimating unit 130, 140).

The plurality of sensors 110 may be sensors for measuring biological signals, and the biological signals may be ECG, heart trajectory (BCG), or optical pulse wave (PPG). In addition, the plurality of sensors 110 can measure the bio-signals of the subject in a non-restricting non-subjective state in a non-contact manner. For example, the plurality of sensors 110 are provided in the clothes of a subject, a wheelchair, a seat of a car, a bed, and the like. The ECG, BCG, PPG, Can be measured.

The plurality of sensors 100 are composed of the first sensor 110a, the second sensor 110b, and the third sensor 110c, which are shown in FIG. 1, For convenience of explanation, the number of sensors is not limited.

The bio-signal determination unit 120 may determine the reliability of each bio-signal measured from the plurality of sensors 110 and select the bio-signal of the highest reliability among the bio-signals as an effective bio-signal. That is, the bio-signal determination unit 120 can extract the signal characteristics of each bio-signal measured from the plurality of sensors 110, classify the extracted signal characteristics by the classification algorithm, The reliability of the signal can be determined. Here, the bio-signal determination unit 120 may select a bio-signal of the highest reliability among the bio-signals measured from the plurality of sensors 110 as an effective bio-signal.

At this time, the signal characteristics include power at 5 to 15 Hz, power at 0 to 1 Hz, purity of the signal, power at 0 to 5 Hz, kurtosis of the signal, skewness of the signal, high frequency mask of the signal, And may include at least one.

Here, the classification algorithm may be a support vector machine (SVM), an artificial neural network (ANN), a linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and a multiple linear regression Analysis, MLRA).

More specifically, by classifying the above eight signal characteristics by any one of SVM, LDA, and ANN, a discontinuous reliability class or reliability value can be given to each bio-signal. In addition, the eight signal characteristics described above can be classified by any one of the ANN or MLRA algorithms, and a continuous reliability value can be given to each bio-signal.

At this time, the biological signal judging unit 120 can compare the reliability grade or reliability value given to each bio-signal and select the bio-signal with the highest reliability as the valid bio-signal.

For example, if the reliability level of the bio-signal measured by the first sensor 110a is 1, the reliability rating of the bio-signal measured by the second sensor 110b is 3, The biometric signal measured by the first sensor 110a can be selected as an effective biometric signal when the reliability level of the biometric signal measured by the first sensor 110a is of the fifth grade. At this time, the reliability level of the bio-signal is classified into 1 to 5 grades, and it is assumed that the 1 grade is the highest reliability grade.

On the other hand, a plurality of biological signals having the highest reliability can be used. In this case, an arbitrary biological signal can be selected as an effective biological signal. That is, when the reliability of the bio-signals measured by the first sensor 110a and the second sensor 110b is 1 grade and the reliability of the bio-signals measured by the third sensor 110c is 2 grade, The unit 120 can arbitrarily select one of the bio-signals measured by the first sensor 110a and the second sensor 110b as an effective bio-signal.

FIG. 2 is a graph showing the power at 5 to 15 Hz extracted from an ECG signal, power at 0 to 1 Hz, purity of the signal, power at 0 to 5 Hz, kurtosis of the signal, skewness of the signal, , And the entropy of the signal over time. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the eight signal characteristics described above rapidly increase or decrease in a similar section. Thus, it is confirmed that the interval in which the signal characteristic value changes abruptly is the interval in which the reliability of the signal is low. Referring to this, it can be seen that the reliability of the bio-signal can be determined using the eight signal characteristics described above.

On the other hand, the biological signal judging unit 120 can select an effective biological signal only when the biological signal having the highest reliability is equal to or higher than a certain level. For example, when the reliability level of a bio-signal is classified into 1 to 5 classes as described above, it can be selected as an effective bio-signal only when the reliability level of the bio-signal with the highest reliability is 3 or more. That is, when the reliability ratings of the bio-signals measured by the first sensor 110a through the third sensor 110c are 1, 2, and 5, respectively, the bio- If the reliability of the bio-signals measured by the first sensor 110a through the third sensor 110c is 4, 5, or 5, respectively, the bio- The determination unit 120 may not select an effective bio-signal.

The vital sign estimator 130 can generate an estimated vital sign by combining all of the vital signals when the vital sign is not selected in the vital sign determining unit 120. [ For example, when the biological signals inputted from the first sensor 110a, the second sensor 110b, and the third sensor 110c are all less than the third grade by the biological signal discrimination unit 120, The estimated biomedical signal can be generated.

At this time, the bio-signal estimator 130 may generate an estimated bio-signal using a Kalman filter algorithm.

In other words, when the valid bio-signal is not selected by the bio-signal determining unit 120, the bio-signal estimator 130 determines whether the bio-signal is valid or not based on the first sensor 110a, 110b and the third sensor 110c to generate an estimated bio-signal.

At this time, the bio-signal determining unit 120 may select the estimated bio-signal as an effective bio-signal when the reliability of the estimated bio-signal is higher than the reliability of the estimated bio-signal by determining the reliability of the estimated bio-signal.

That is, the bio-signal determination unit 120 can determine the reliability of the estimated bio-signal by extracting the signal characteristics of the estimated bio-signal, classifying the signal characteristics by the classification algorithm, Or more, and can be determined as invalid if the reliability is less than a predetermined value. Based on the above example, the biological signal discrimination unit 120 can select the estimated biological signal as an effective biological signal when the reliability level of the estimated biological signal becomes three or more.

The health parameter estimator 140 may estimate a health parameter using an effective bio-signal. At this time, the health parameters may be arrhythmia, heartbeat, body temperature, stress level, and the like. In other words, the health parameter estimator 140 estimates the health parameters based on the bio-signals selected by the bio-signal discrimination unit 120 as valid bio-signals among the bio-signals input from the plurality of sensors 110, , And the degree of stress can be estimated.

As described above, the health parameter estimation system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention estimates the health parameters by selecting the most reliable bio-signals among the bio-signals inputted through the plurality of sensors 110, When the reliability of all the input bio-signals is less than a predetermined value, the input bio-signals can be combined to generate the estimated bio-signals. Then, when the reliability of the estimated bio-signal is determined and the reliability of the estimated bio-signal is more than a predetermined value, the estimated bio-signal is selected as an effective bio-signal and the health parameter is estimated to improve the accuracy of the health parameter estimation, Time that can not be achieved can be minimized.

Hereinafter, a health parameter estimation method (S100) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a health parameter estimation method (S100) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

At this time, the bio-signal can be measured in a non-contact manner in a non-restricting state, and can be any one of ECG, heart trajectory (BCG), and optical pulse wave (PPG). In other words, the bio-electrical signals can be measured by ECG, BCG, PPG, etc., which are measured in a non-contact manner in a non-restraint situation in which the subject is unaware of the subject, such as clothes, automobile seats, wheel chairs, .

The bio-signal discrimination step S120 may be a step of selecting a bio-signal having the highest reliability among the bio-signals input from the plurality of channels. At this time, the bio-signal discrimination step S120 may include a signal characteristic extraction step S121, a reliability determination step S122, a bio-signal selection step S123, Step S124.

If the reliability of the bio-signal selected in the bio-signal selection step S123 is not less than a predetermined value, the bio-signal validity determination step S124 may be determined to be invalid if the reliability of the bio-signal is less than a predetermined value.

In other words, the bio-signal discrimination step S120 is a step of discriminating the reliability of each bio-signal input from a plurality of channels and selecting a bio-signal having the highest reliability, only when the reliability of the selected bio- It can be judged as valid.

The estimated biomedical signal generation step (S130) may be a step of generating an estimated biomedical signal by combining all of the biomedical signals input from the plurality of channels, and if the biomedical signal selected in the biomedical signal validity determination step is determined to be invalid It may be a step that is performed only when it is performed.

In other words, when there is no valid living body signal among the living body signals input from the plurality of channels, it may be a step for estimating an effective living body signal.

The estimated bio-signal determination step S140 may be a step of determining the reliability of the estimated bio-signal generated in the estimated bio-signal generation step S130. In other words, in the estimated bio-signal determination step (S140), the reliability of the estimated bio-signal can be determined by extracting the signal characteristics of the estimated bio-signal and classifying it through a classification algorithm. If the reliability of the estimated bio- And if it is less than the predetermined value, it can be determined as invalid.

The signal characteristics used at this time are also the power at 5 ~ 15Hz, power at 0 ~ 1Hz, purity of the signal, power at 0 ~ 5Hz, kurtosis of signal, skewness of signal, high frequency mask of signal, Or the like.

The health parameter estimation step S150 may be a step of estimating a health parameter using a bio-signal. At this time, the bio-signal used for health parameter estimation may be a bio-signal selected in the bio-signal discrimination step S120. In other words, the health parameter estimation step (S150) uses the most reliable biomedical signal among the bio-signals input from the plurality of channels, and only when the bio-signal is judged to be valid in the bio-signal validity determination step (S124) . ≪ / RTI >

If the bio-signal having the highest reliability is determined to be invalid in the bio-signal validity determination step S124, the health parameter is estimated using the estimated bio-signal generated in the estimated bio-signal generation step S130 . At this time as well, the health parameter can be estimated only when the estimated bio-signal validity is determined to be valid in the estimated bio-signal validity determination step (S140).
