Description

The invention relates to medical equipment that allows you to register and analyze the dependence of changes in pupillary reactions from toxic, physical, psycho-emotional, somatic and other factors affecting the body, and can be used in the field of medicine, narcology, legal psychology, forensic science, forensic science, labor psychology and so forth

Measuring the diameter of the pupil (pupillometry) is an objective method for studying the functional state of the body. Numerous studies have shown high informativeness of pupillographic indicators in assessing the functional state of the nervous system and the body as a whole. The reaction of the pupils to a light stimulus is an unconditioned reflex that cannot be controlled by the cerebral cortex. The pupil, being the diaphragm of the eye, regulates the luminous flux incident on the retina. In bright light, it narrows; when light intensity decreases, it expands. Many physical and chemical factors affect the rate of pupillary reaction. There is evidence of the specificity of pupillary reactions during intoxications, including narcotic (Kutsalo Anatoly Leonidovich. Pupillometry as a method of rapid diagnosis of drug intoxication: the dissertation of the candidate of medical sciences: 14.00.20 /: Institute of Toxicology. - St. Petersburg, 2004. - 118 p.: 40 ill. RSL OD).

Registration and mathematical processing of the results of the study of the pupil reflex present great difficulties in connection with the high rate of pupil reaction by the small size of the pupil.

Closest to the invention in technical essence is a method for recording pupil reactions and a device for its implementation (RU 2123797, 12/27/1998, class A61B 3/113), including fixing the subject’s head, lighting the pupil of the subject with infrared radiation, recording the reflected light flux with using an IR-sensitive television camera, applying a stimulus and recording a pupillogram with its subsequent processing. The television camera is pointed at the sharp image of the pupil, visually controlling it on the screen of the video monitoring device. Pupil sizes in absolute units are measured digitally in each frame of a television image, and for each subject, the initial set of pupillograms is recorded, according to which individual pupillometry standards are formed taking into account the type of stimulus used, and they are entered into the computer data bank. The parameters of the pupil reaction during subsequent recordings of pupillograms are automatically compared with individual pupillometry standards with the message “norm” or “deviation from the norm”.

The disadvantages of the known method and device are that they require visual control for their implementation and the choice of the type of stimulus in the process of registering pupillary reactions, which inevitably leads to the fixing of a specialist to each device for the entire period of the study.

The need to fix the head (contact with the device) introduces additional requirements for hygiene and sanitary standards during research.

The presence of a subjective approach to the control of the device, the conditions of background lighting during research and the absence of a housing as such leads to an error, and therefore, to a low accuracy of measurements in general.

Thus, the device and method known above do not allow widespread use in numerous mass examinations (for example, pre-shift and post-shift surveys of miners).

The technical result of the invention is expressed in improving the accuracy of measurements and objectification of the study, as well as reducing the time of examination and the complexity.

The claimed device, a non-contact pupillometer for screening diagnostics of the functional state of the body, consists of a housing (1) and a holder (2). The housing (1) is made of complex shape, which can conditionally be divided into two surfaces (1a) and (1b), where (1a) is the surface of the housing of a non-contact pupillometer (1) that forms a visor; (1b) - the surface of the housing of the non-contact pupillometer (1), forming the enclosing sides (around the visor). This form provides a compact placement of the components of the non-contact pupillometer device, as well as the necessary conditions for research.

The front end side of the visor of the housing (1.1) has a concave shape, that is, in the plan it is represented by an arc (see Fig.2,4,1), on the edges of which the emitter (3) and the receiver (4) are symmetrically placed, and is installed in the center temperature sensor (5). The emitter (3) is a photoelectric sensor that generates a luminous flux. The receiver (4) is a photoelectric sensor that receives the light flux from the emitter (3). Temperature sensor (5) is an infrared thermometer that provides non-contact temperature measurement.

Due to the concave shape of the front end side of the visor of the housing (1.1), the receiver (4) and the emitter (3) are located opposite each other so that the light flux of the emitter (3) directly hits the receiver (4).

The inner part of the enclosing sides of the case (1.2) is the part of the case (1) of the non-contact pupillometer, in which the camera (6) is located in the casing (7) and the location indicator (8), and two infrared mounted on the sides opposite the camera (6) (IR) LED (9), one element on each side. In this case, the position indicator (8) is located above the camera.

The casing (7) is made larger than the camera (6), while the camera lens (6a) is located outside the casing. On the back wall of the casing (7) behind the camera (6) there is a red LED (10) and a white light source (11). Two IR LEDs (9) operate in the range of infrared light (invisible to the human eye), while performing the function of constantly illuminating the right and left eyes, respectively (they operate continuously). The power of IR LEDs (9) is the range of values at which an image with maximum contrast is provided without interference (glare).

When the luminous flux is blocked from the emitter (3) to the receiver (4), the I red LED (10) is activated.

A continuously burning red LED (10) informs the subject about the beginning of the research phase, a blinking LED (10) informs the subject about the end of the research phase.

White light source (11) - illuminator or source of stimulus. The white light source (11) is designed for dosed exposure to the pupil of the eye with a light stimulus.

The casing (7) is made of a material capable of evenly distributing light from the elements (10) and (11) located in it, for example, from opaque plexiglass.

Camera (6) - provides registration of the pupil image in the infrared spectrum, while the frame rate should be at least 60 frames per second (60 fps), and the optical resolution should be at least 1.31 MPix.

The surface of the profile side of the location indicator (8) has a reflective ability, with a degree of clarity sufficient to reflect the contours of the eyes of the subject (as a fuzzy mirror). This degree of clarity reduces the effect of image flare. The shape of the position indicator (8) can be any, in this case it is a rectangular plate with a width equal to the width of the casing (7).

In the upper part of the casing (1) of the pupillometer there is a light sensor (12), which can be represented by a luxometer.

The enclosing sides of the housing (1b) together with the visor (1a), in which the front end side (1.1) has a concave shape, as well as with two IR LEDs (9) and an ambient light sensor (12) create the necessary physiological condition for background lighting during the study and allow evaluate it (measure). Thus, the claimed device provides contactless diagnostics of the functional state of the body in real time without the need for preliminary preparation and / or creation of additional conditions.

The holder (2) ensures the stability of the structure as a whole and the required height of the location, in particular, of the camera lens (6a) in the study. The height of the arrangement is selected so that the subject looked directly at the natural position of the head, and his eyes were on the same level as the location indicator (8). The holder design can be any one that meets the above requirements, for example, in the form of a tripod, stand, anchors (rear holders for mounting on the wall). In FIG. 1 shows the case when the holder is made in the form of a tripod.

The test subject is positioned in a non-contact manner. When the subject’s head blocks the path of the beam from the emitter (3) to the receiver (4), the red LED (10) is activated, while the subject fixes and sees his eyes on the location indicator (8). When positioning, the red LED (10) lights up continuously when triggered, thereby informing about the correct positioning and “about the beginning of the research phase”. The burning red LED (10) does not violate the conditions of background lighting due to the placement in the casing (7), which evenly scatters the light.

All components of a non-contact pupillometer for screening diagnostics of the functional state of the body are connected to a computer with special software (13) (not shown in the drawing). A PC with special software (13) provides real-time offline screening diagnostics of the functional state of the body, namely the following operations: determining the identity of the subject and recording the presence of health complaints;

- contactless positioning of the subject;

- automatic initiation of the start of the study;

- automatic non-contact measurement of background lighting;

- automatic non-contact measurement of the temperature sensor;

- automatic supply of a light stimulus by a white light source;

- non-contact measurement by the camera of pupillary reactions of the eye;

- automatic completion of the study;

- automatic storage, processing, analysis of measurements;

- automatic calculation of parameters;

- automatic formation of individual norms;

- issuance of an epicrisis.

The non-contact method of screening diagnostics of the functional state of the body is based on the registration of pupillary reactions and uses the above device for this.

The non-contact method of screening diagnostics of the functional state of the body is carried out in stages in the following sequence: pre-investigation, research and conclusion.

At the pre-investigation stage, the computer database (13) records the presence of health complaints and the identification code of the subject, under which information will be stored in the future.

The examinee is conveniently located on a chair or standing (depending on the design of the holder). The examinee brings his head closer to the front end side of the visor of the case (1.1), but does not touch it, and at the same time he fixes his gaze (that is, seeing the outlines of his eyes) on the location indicator (8). When the head covers the test light flux from the emitter (3) to the receiver (4), a red LED (10) is activated. When the red LED (10) is on, the subject stops his approach of the head to the front end side of the visor of the case (1.1).

In this situation, a zone with the necessary background lighting is created in front of the subject’s eyes due to the design of the body (1) of the non-contact pupillometer (namely, the enclosing surfaces of the sides (16) and the visor (1a)) and two IR LEDs (9) that constantly illuminate the right infrared range and left eyes respectively. Such background illumination during the study provides high measurement accuracy.

A continuously burning red LED (10) informs about the correct non-contact positioning, and also initiates the examination stage, provided that the subject sees the outlines of the eyes on the location indicator (8).

With the constant operation of the red LED (10) and IR-illuminating LEDs (9), the stage of the study of the functional state of the body is carried out, which consists in measuring the readings in three successively changing modes: adaptation, load and recovery, see Fig. 5.

Adaptation - the operating mode of the claimed non-contact pupillometer from the moment the red LED (10) turns on until the white light source (11) turns on. In this mode, the pupils of the person adapt to the physiological conditions of background lighting. The duration of the adaptation mode is on average 1 s.

Load - operation mode when the white light source is on (11). In this mode, the pupils respond to the stimulus. The duration of the load mode is on average 2 s.

Recovery - the operating mode of the declared non-contact pupillometer from the moment the white light source (11) is turned off until the red LED (10) blinks. In this mode, the pupils of a person adapt to the previous condition of background lighting (similar to the adaptation mode). The average recovery time is 3 s.

In all three modes, the readings of background illumination, human body temperature, and pupil reaction of the eye are measured non-contactly, continuously, and simultaneously.

Background illumination is measured using an ambient light sensor (12). Measurement of body temperature is carried out using a temperature sensor (5). The measurement of the pupillary reaction of the eye is recorded by the camera (6).

A blinking red LED (10) indicates the end of the examination phase and the beginning of the final stage.

At the beginning of the conclusion stage, they are entered into the PC database (13) under the identification code of the surveyed measurements, which were performed during adaptation, load, and recovery. Next, the processing of measurements and analysis of the data obtained at the research stage is performed.

For measurements of the pupil reaction, each image frame is processed in digital form (in pixels) and a statistical graph is used to construct a graph of the change in pupil area over time, depending on the lighting, see Fig. 5. Then at least the following parameters are calculated, see FIG. 6.

The latent time of the pupil’s reaction to the white light source (Tlat1) is calculated as the time from the moment the white light is turned on until the graph crosses the value (0.95) b, where b is the pupil area until the white light comes on.

The latent reaction time of the pupil to turn off the white light source (Tlat2) is calculated as the time from turning off the white light source until the graph crosses the value (1.05) a, where a is the steady-state area of the pupil when the white light source is on.

The angle of reaction of the pupil to the inclusion of a white light source (F1) - the tangent of this angle is used in the calculations (the ratio of the change in the area of the pupil to the duration of the reaction). The difference between (0.95) b and (1.05) a is used as a change in area. The duration of the reaction is the difference between the times the graph intersects the values of (0.95) b and (1.05) a.

The angle of reaction of the pupil to turn off the white light source (F2) - its tangent is used in the calculations. The difference between (0.95) s and (1.05) a is used as a change in area. Reaction time - the difference between the times the graph intersects the values of (0.95) s and (1.05) a.

Reaction coefficient (AmplRatio) - the ratio of the value (0.95) b to the value (1.05) a.

The average pupil area before the reaction (Average) - the average value of the pupil area in the interval of adaptation of the eye. It is calculated as the sum of all values divided by their number.

At least five studies form the individual standards of the subject, which are entered into the database in the form of a table. For each value Tlat1, Tlat2, F1, F2, AmplRatio, Average, the minimum and maximum values are selected, which are entered into the table with a tolerance of 10%.

The results of all studies are accumulated in the database under the personal identification code of the subject, which allows you to clarify the calculation of individual norms for the previously selected measurements.

In a second study, measurements are taken once, after which the parameters of the pupil’s reaction of the subject are automatically compared with his own individual standards with the issuance of an epicrisis of the functional state of the subject’s body. Epicrisis describes the nature of deviations from the norm.

The duration of one non-contact screening diagnosis of the functional state of the body with the issuance of conclusions takes less than 1 minute.

The reliability of the implementation of the result is confirmed by the manufacture and testing of a prototype.

The use of a non-contact pupillometer for screening diagnostics of the functional state of an organism implies the presence of one qualified health worker (for example, a medical assistant) for an unlimited number of devices in one room. For the first time, the health worker provides instruction, and then screening diagnostics (for example, included in the pre-shift examination) is automatic. If the testimony of the subject recorded results exceeding the norm, then either repeat the procedure again after 15 minutes or the subject undergoes an individual examination by a health worker.

Due to the automated non-contact method of screening diagnostics, high measurement accuracy, laboriousness, as well as the short time of the entire procedure and the issuance of an epicrisis, the invention will find wide application in at least the following areas:

- in narcology for the diagnosis of drug intoxication;

- in medicine for professional and routine medical examinations, psychiatric examinations;

- in production conditions for express diagnostics before and after the working day (shift) of the state of health of operators of critical industries, drivers, etc., whose professional activities are associated with the risk of technological disasters and the safety of the population;

- in judicial activities to study the reliability of the testimony of suspects, witnesses, victims.

Example 1:

Surveyed Ivanov I.I., 40 years old, miner, work experience 9 years, pre-shift / post-shift medical examinations were performed on the declared non-contact pupillometer for screening diagnostics of the functional state of the body.

Before the work shift, the identification code of Ivanov II is registered in the PC database, under which information on his pupil reactions will be stored in the future. Next, non-contact screening diagnostics is carried out at least five times according to the method described above and the individual norms of Ivanov I.I. are formed, see FIG. 7.

After a work shift with a non-contact pupillometer, a repeated screening diagnosis is carried out (once), the results (see Fig. 8) of which, after a work shift, are automatically compared with individual standards.

Epicrisis delivery is a “weakened reaction”.

Further, the health care provider should interpret the conclusion as a signal of a deviation from the norm, and in particular as a poisoning by an employee's hydrogen sulfide / carbon monoxide gas (which is confirmed on an individual basis). Then they conduct an unscheduled check of working conditions, in case of confirmation of the conclusion, the organization takes actions to eliminate the causes of the accident and provide assistance to the victims.

Example 2:

Surveyed Ivanov I.I., 40 years old, miner, work experience 9 years, held a morning pre-shift medical examination according to the above method with previously formed individual norms (Fig. 7). The results of contactless screening diagnostics are presented in FIG. 9.

Epicrisis delivery is “miosis”.

Further, the health care provider should interpret the conclusion as a signal of a deviation from the norm, and in particular as a drug intoxication of the employee (which is confirmed by an individual examination). After that, measures are taken to ban access to work.
