Description

The utility model relates to the field of medicine, in particular, to biometrics and can be used to register a pulse wave and blood supply to tissues with non-invasive continuous or periodic monitoring of patients.

There are various non-invasive systems for studying the parameters of the state of the human body, based on the removal of electrophysical information about the processes occurring at the skin-electrode contact. The registration of a pulse or pulse wave, as a rule, is carried out with a fixed connection of pulse sensors to several places on the patient’s body, which limits their integration into diagnostic information processing systems and the exchange of information via standard interfaces [1, 2].

Also known is the registration of a peripheral pulse by lightly touching the patient’s finger with an optoelectronic converter [3]. However, in the case when the patient has cold hands or too weak or strong finger pressure on the photodetector, the pulse recording is unstable.

A known system of computer monitoring of public health (hereinafter - the system) [4], considered as a prototype, containing sensors for measuring physiological parameters, including a heart rate sensor, a signal processing unit and a transmitting unit connected via the Internet to users' computers . The system allows monitoring the patient’s condition at a distance using a computer and the Internet to process, transmit and receive biometric information, including the patient’s pulse. However, the system also requires a fixed connection of optical sensors to the patient’s body, which limits the possibility of its use for patients leading an active lifestyle or in extreme situations.

The proposed utility model aims to eliminate the above

disadvantages.

The technical result achieved when using this system is to increase the reliability of recording the patient’s pulse and to develop an electronic system that transmits the pulsogram via the Internet to users (to the doctor’s computer or server), processes it and sends warning information to the patient user away from the computer.

The task is achieved due to the fact that the system is additionally equipped with a power supply, a receiving unit, a contact conductive element of the heart rate sensor, enclosed in a housing uniting a power supply made in the form of a battery, a heart rate sensor, a signal processing unit made by programmable RR-emitting pulsograms transmitting unit providing wireless radio communication with a cellular telephone or a computer of a user (patient) with the possibility of their communication via the Internet network with users' computers (gray faith or computer by medical consultants) and feedback from a cell phone or computer of the user (patient).

The system also works with additional (not built-in to the case) heart rate sensors.

Figure 1 presents a functional diagram of a System for monitoring patient health.

The system case (Figure 1), made in the form of a flexible or rigid element, can be placed in a pocket, wallet, purse, neck, on a cell phone, etc.

The system can work in two alternative modes:

- using the built-in heart rate sensor: the fingertips of the left and right hands of the patient, located in the gym, at home or in the field, are fixed on the contact conductive element of the heart rate sensor; the measured electrical signal is received by a programmable signal processing unit,

it is processed according to a specific program and sent by the transmitting unit of wireless radio communication to the cell phone or computer of the user (patient), then through the Internet to the computers of users (server and computer of medical consultants) and through feedback from the cell phone or computer of the user (patient) ;

- using additional pulse sensors (not built into the system case): the receiving unit of the system receives radio signals from additional pulse sensors, converts them into electrical signals received at the input of a programmable signal processing unit, which are processed according to a specific program and sent by the transmitting wireless radio communication unit to cell phone or computer of the user (patient), then through the Internet to users' computers (server and computer of medical consultants) and through feedback on a cell phone or computer of the user (patient).

When the physiological parameters of the patient go beyond the set limits, the system allows you to exert an impact on him, telling him health information on a cell phone or computer.
