Description

The invention relates to telecommunications, medicine and can be used for remote research and diagnosis of patients.

A well-known patient monitoring system is available, see http://www.med-group.ru/productdetail/MP-600MEK01/37/0/0/ of the Internet. This patient monitoring system allows you to observe ECG, SpO ₂ , NIBP, 2 channels Temp, 2 channels IAD, Resp, CO2. All tests and measurements are controlled from the central station. The central patient monitoring system allows you to simultaneously monitor 8 beds (optionally an increase of up to 16 beds is possible), showing up to 32 waves at the same time and monitoring the patient's condition in 72 hours. It fixes up to 1000 alarms and allows you to save them for 3 years.

The disadvantages of the above system is the lack of functionality, lack of mobility.

A known system of diagnostics is given, see http://medical.net.ua/remote_monit.htm of the Internet.

The disadvantages of the above system is also a lack of functionality, lack of mobility.

Tasks for the solution of which the claimed invention is directed:

- Creation of a mobile patient monitoring system.

- Obtaining photo-video images (including 3D images) of the patient’s appearance, as well as information about the physiological parameters of the patient’s body, followed by transferring them to the database for the purpose of remote examination and diagnosis of the patient’s condition by specialists via remote servers.

The technical result is to increase the functionality and mobility of the patient monitoring system.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the wireless system for remote monitoring of the patient’s condition includes an electronic control unit and information storage, display glasses, two image recording units, remote monitoring servers, a wireless communication unit, portable medical devices for measuring physiological parameters of the body, made with the possibility of data transmission to the electronic control unit and information storage by means of a wireless communication unit or wires, The data management and storage unit is connected to the display glasses with the possibility of direct and reverse data transmission, two image recording units are connected to the display glasses with the ability to transmit the captured image, the wireless communication unit is capable of direct and reverse data transmission between the electronic control and information storage unit and remote monitoring servers.

Display glasses consist of a case with an optical system made in the form of two identical monoculars with diopter adjustment and a flexible-rigid board with two micro displays installed on it; miniature headphones are mounted in the housing, made to be connected to a flexible-rigid board.

Display glasses are fixed to the headband of a thin steel tape, adjustable in accordance with the size of the head. The case of the display glasses is made of Swiss plastic, which is not afraid of strong bends. The main components of the display glasses are 2 micro displays and 2 optical systems for observing the image simultaneously with two eyes. In the case of using OLED displays EMA-100080-1 from eMagin (USA), the visible image is perceived as a monitor screen with a diagonal of 1.3 m, located at a distance of 2 m. The hardware resolution is: SVGA (800 × 600 triple pixels or 1.44 megapixel), 24 bits of chrominance (over 16.7 million colors), brightness of 50 cd / m ^2. From the electronic control and information storage unit, a video signal, several supply voltages, an audio signal and a 12C interface for controlling display settings are fed to the display glasses through a 30-wire cable 1.5 m long.

Display glasses are connected to the electronic control and information storage unit via a cable, and to image recording units via a plug-socket connection.

The design of the display glasses allows you to change the distance between the optical axes of the monoculars to adjust the base of the eyes of a particular observer.

Each of the image registration blocks is a mini digital video camera consisting of a CCD (CCD matrix (abbreviated from “charge-coupled device”) or CCD matrix (abbreviated from English CCD, “Charge-Coupled Device”) - specialized an analog integrated circuit consisting of photosensitive photodiodes made on the basis of silicon, using CCD technology - charge-coupled devices) of the matrix and lens, as well as the backlight.

The electronic control and information storage unit contains a programmable controller including control programs connected to the main data carrier and control elements (buttons / keys).

The controller can be implemented based on the OMAR3530 multimedia processor from Texas Instrument. The basic element may be the MINI8100 module manufactured by Embest Info. The MINI8100 module is installed in the connector on the board that contains the components necessary for the device to operate - control buttons, connectors for power and charging batteries, and a node for generating voltage supply. The board also contains a converter of a 24-bit RGB signal (8 bits per color) to a VGA signal, 2 standard batteries.

The electronic control and information storage unit is configured to connect additional storage media to it.

Recharging the batteries is carried out from the home energy network (220 V / 50 Hz).

Management programs contain utility programs for processing received data, a user interface, video and audio decoders.

The wireless communication unit is made in the form of a separate unit or is structurally part of the electronic control unit.

The wireless communication unit is configured to use the channels of wireless data transmission GPRS, 3G, Wi-Max, Wi-Fi, etc.

The design of monoculars allows diopter adjustment under the eye of a particular observer within ± 5_dptr.

The image registration blocks are configured to capture 3D images.

The micro displays of the display glasses are capable of reproducing 3D images.

Image registration blocks are mounted on the side of the display glasses (one on the left, the other on the right) and are removable elements. Through a plug-socket connection connecting the image registration units and display glasses, power is supplied, control commands, as well as the transmission of the received information through the display glasses further along the cable to the electronic control and information storage unit.

The electronic control and information storage unit can be placed on a belt or in a clothing pocket and connected to display glasses with a wire up to 1.5 m long or mounted directly on a helmet with display glasses and an image registration system.

The user receives information from the virtual display glasses monitor. In the mode of viewing archived images, including those quickly accepted, he uses the information recorded in the memory of the electronic control unit and information storage. In the image registration mode (shooting can be performed both in the form of separate frames and films), the user observes what he is shooting on the virtual monitor. Shooting and viewing are carried out either in 3D format or in 2D. Display glasses are mounted on an adjustable headband of the user and can be located in front of the user's eyes or in the passive position tilted up.

The block diagram of the claimed wireless system for remote monitoring of patients is presented in figure 1.

Video cameras mounted on the display glasses record the appearance of the patient (the image is displayed on the micro displays of the glasses), this video also enters the electronic control and information storage unit.

Diagnostic doctors located on remote servers use the information data collected in the electronic control and information storage unit, and they can give sound commands to the operator through the miniature headphones of display glasses.

In addition, the operator using micro-displays of glasses has the ability to view videos (for example, captured methods of first aid to the patient, methods of fixing portable medical devices on the patient’s body, etc.) located in the electronic control unit and storing information, or sent to him from remote servers.

As a result of using the inventive system, the patient is remotely diagnosed, and, if necessary, the operator provides qualified first aid to the patient.
