U / INTELLIGENT STRUCTURE SYSTEM TO ASSIST PHYSICAL CHALLENGED PERSONS FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a field of biomedical engineering and particularly to the combination of biomedical devices with artificial and intelligent system. The present invention specifically relates to an application of prosthetics with intelligent support system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The technical advancement in the field of biomedical engineering and broadly in medical science has led people access to smart tools employed in treatment of patients especially in complicated surgeries. The recovery rate of patients across the globe is therefore enhanced with modern medication and precisely the procedure for treatment. In some reports millions of people suffer bone and joint injuries every year resulting eventually the loss of organs such as legs, arms and hands for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, millions of people are living with muscle control problems such as incontinence and spinal cord injury (SCI). To illustrate, SCI can be caused by diseases that destroy the neurological tissues of the spinal cord or by trauma that compresses, stretches, or severs this tissue. SCI is often irreversible, and can result in partial or total loss of sensory or motor function, or both, to the parts of the body below the level of the injury. For example, an injury to the spinal cord at the lower back usually affects the legs, but not the arms. The most commonly used technology for restoring or replacing motor function in individuals with SCI is functional electrical stimulation (FES), which uses short electrical pulses to generate contractions in paralyzed muscles. These contractions can be coordinated to move or stabilize joints by stimulating one or more muscles that exert torques about the joint. Prosthetic or orthotic knee joints replace or support the function of a natural knee joint. In order to achieve a maximum optimal functionality of the artificial knee joint, there are a multiplicity of designs on the market, which influence the behavior of the knee joints during the standing phase and the swing phase. Mechatronic knee joints are known, in which the movement situations are detected by means of a plurality of different sensors and, on the basis of the sensor data, a resistance device, by means of which the bending resistance (also referred to as flexion resistance) or the extension resistance is varied, is controlled. One basic problem is that the great variety of the possible movement situations can be encompassed only with difficulty in simple rules. In order to control actuators and brakes, therefore, so-called state machines are used, which are highly complex and represent many different activities. Disadvantages with this are the long development time and the use of elaborate components. A number of devices and methods have been formulated till date for the replacement and recovery from the trauma of losing a particular organ. Some devices are just manually operated prosthetics for legs and arms with a notice period from few weeks to few months. For example, US10716689B2 which discloses a method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, on which a lower leg component is arranged and which is assigned a resistance device having at least one actuator, by means of which the bending resistance is modified depending on sensor data that is determined during use of the orthotic or prosthetic knee joint by means of a sensor, wherein the absolute angle of the lower leg component is determined exclusively by means of at least one inertial sensor, the angle determined is compared with at least one threshold value, and the bending resistance is modified when the threshold value is reached.
Furthermore, US20190247650A1which discloses that Systems and methods for physical assistance by: during a training phase, capturing muscle signals associated with a predetermined task and training a learning machine to associate the muscle signals with the task; during use, identifying a desired task to the learning machine to retrieve the muscle signals associated with the task; and applying functional electrical stimulation (FES) to actuate the muscle signals for the desired task. However, none of the devices and methods provides a real-time report of a patient which is being treated with such kind of prosthetics. Also, a patient generally leaves the hospital after having said prosthetic treatment done, there is a need to know the improvement and the recovery rate of the patient in real-time, as sometimes condition may get better than an anticipated rate or may get worse. Therefore, the patient needs to be in constant contact with the respective staff or doctor even remotely. The present invention therefore provides a system and a method of controlling an artificial and intelligent support structure for physically impaired patients by the application of Internet of Things (loT)for real time monitoring and controlling. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to a cyber-organism or precisely an artificial and intelligent support system for physically challenged by the application of internet of things for real-time monitoring and controlling of said system.
