具体实施方式
在下面的详细说明中,将说明许多特定的细节以提供对本发明的透彻的理解。不过,本领域普通技术人员应当理解,本发明可以不用这些特定的细节而被实施。在其它的实例中,未详细说明熟知的方法和过程,以不致使得本发明不清楚。
传感器这个术语指的是传感器,不过也指在传感器的输出被发送与/或由处理单元处理之前,至少用于对传感器的输出进行初始处理所需的模拟的与/或数字的电路。
在本发明的装置、系统和方法的一个实施例中,一种典型的便携式监视器(例如HOLTER监视器,虽然可以使用其它类型的监视器)采集来自人的生理数据,一般使用多种传感器实时地进行采集。Geva的美国专利6366871描述了一种多输入监视器。
一般采集一项或多项生理数据(例如心率、ECG、血压、呼吸次数等),并同时采集和物理活动相关的数据(也称为生物物理数据),例如运动、身体的姿式和肌肉骨骼的载荷。这种监视可以在日常活动期间在诊室外部进行。采集的数据例如可被记录与/或下载到或发送到计算机、蜂窝电话、个人数据辅助设备和类似设备以供分析。
和人的物理活动相关联的生理数据例如可用于评价心血管健康状况和与日常活动的习惯方式相关的危险因素。本发明的实施例可以允许采集和人的同时的身体运动相关的生理数据和关于这种身体运动的数据。
采集的生理数据和与人的活动有关的数据可被无线传输到短距离接收器,其接着把信息传送给或者提供给一个长距离收发器系统,使得最终把数据发送到远方地点,包括远程数据基站、远方医疗中心等。多种短程传输标准包括例如但不限于蓝牙,WLAN,ZigB,Wi-Fi,WLAN,UWB等。
可以实时地进行长距离传输,但是不必如此。可以利用多种长距离传输网络,例如但不限于LAN,有线电视,卫星电视,CCTV,电话线,GSM/GPRS,CDMA,iTV,因特网等。
健康监视器系统可以和长距离收发器例如蜂窝电话、个人数据辅助设备PDA等交换数据。
生理数据以及物理活动相关的数据可以由监视器或长距离收发器处理。名称为“Personal health monitor and a method for healthmonitoring”的美国专利申请说明了一种在发送生理数据之前还对生理数据进行处理的收发器,该专利申请通过引用被包括在此。
健康监视系统可以包括一个或多个生理数据传感器、物理活动传感器、处理器和收发器。这些元件可以通过有线通信或无线通信相连。
图1a表示按照本发明的实施例的一种健康监视系统。参见图1a,健康监视器系统100包括处理单元101,例如其可连附于人的上臂。一般地说,处理单元101的结构和操作和轻便的HOLTER型设备类似,具有按照本发明的实施例的一些改进,不过可以是其它的结构。
空气压力臂套带可以是血压臂套带。通过把处理单元101连附到血压臂套带102上,提供了一种非常有效的健康监视器系统。这个系统甚至可以包括处理单元101集成到和血压臂套带102相连的附加的传感器中,因而提供一种可被快速地佩带和除去的健康监视器系统,而不需要在处理单元和传感器之间的有线或无线连接,因而降低了这种系统的成本,增加了其可靠性,使得其更容易佩带。这种血压上臂套带装置也可以是24小时或更长时间的血压HOLTER。这个装置可以通过处理单元101、个人计算机、蜂窝电话或PDA被编程。
处理单元101可被安装或连附于其它传感器、收发器或装置上,可被埋置在其它设备内。处理单元101被连接于一个或多个生理数据传感器。一般地说,处理单元101可连附于空气压力臂套带102,其一般用于提供血压值的自动测量。在一个实施例中,空气压力臂套带102包括压力传感器109,用于测量臂套带102中的空气压力。附加的生理数据可被校正。一般地说,处理单元101尤其用于存储用时间标记的一系列血压值。可以使用其它的数据格式并存储其它的数据。处理单元101不必连附于压力套带102。
处理单元101例如可被连接于至少一个生物物理数据传感器例如加速度计传感器103,一般连附于人的腕部或下臂,姿式传感器104,一般连附于人的胸部或躯干,以及脚步或地接触传感器105,一般位于人的脚上,一般在鞋垫上。这些生物物理数据传感器提供关于人的物理活动的指示。
在其它的实施例中,可以使用其它类型的传感器或其它的传感器组,并且这些传感器可被置于其它位置。一般地说,不同的单元可以借助于传输电信号的合适的导线、电缆或者通过无线链接相连。
加速度计传感器103可用作手运动传感器(当被置于人体上的一个位置上时),用于检测特定的手的运动方式。姿式传感器104可以提供姿式感测,测量一般在3个正交轴上的加速度或人体的其它物理性能(例如位置、方位)。由姿式传感器104产生的数据可用于计算或确定例如相对于垂直轴的人体的姿式、位置或方位。在一个实施例中,脚步传感器105包括应变仪,用于测量置于人的鞋内的鞋垫,用于监视脚的压力,其它的配置也是可能的。
图1B表示按照本发明的实施例使用双向无线连接的监视系统。参见图1B,系统100例如包括处理单元101,臂套带102,加速度计传感器103,姿式传感器104,地接触传感器105,以及连附于人的胸部的电极。单元101,102,103,104,105以及可能地106中的一些可以使用无线连接相连。在一个实施例中,单元103,104和105中的每一个包括发送器107a,它们一般使用已知的蓝牙标准技术,把这些单元输出的数据发送到位于处理单元101中的接收器107b。一般地说,因为处理单元101被安装在臂套带102上或其附近,单元101和102不必进行无线通信。如果处理单元101和臂套带102在不同的位置,则可以无线地在它们之间进行通信。接收器107b一般使用已知的蓝牙标准技术,用于接收由各个生理监视单元输出的数据。
可以利用无线连接传送指令,以当一个传感器检测到一个事件发生时(例如血压或心率升高到某个阈值以上)或者以定期的方式启动测量。
在多个测量之间的同步可以对人或者医生提供重要信息。借助于分析从各个传感器收集的生理数据,监视系统可以确定是否发生了事件,是否要求人进行附加的测量与/或是否向远方系统发送数据,是否对人产生警告信号等。警告信号还可以包括用于呼叫某个号码(例如远方医疗中心、医生等的电话号码)的请求,还可以命令人采取某些行动(例如休息、引水、服药等)。
图2是按照本发明的一个实施例的监视系统100的各个元件的方块图。参见图2,可充气的臂套带102通过管子202和压力传感器109、套带压力调节阀204以及空气泵205相连。可以使用用于血压监视的具有不同结构和功能的其它已知的设备和系统。在图2所示的系统中,在一些实施例中,可以使用蓝牙标准无线地传输数据。在另外的实施例中,可以使用其它的无线标准和要求。
处理单元101包括带通滤波器206、处理器例如微控制器209、低通滤波器207、低通滤波器221以及一个或多个ECG放大器218。微控制器209一般包括内置的A/D转换器(未示出),只读存储器(ROM,未示出)以及随机存取存储器(RAM,未示出)。
在另一些实施例中,这些元件可位于微控制器209的外部。微控制器209可以和其它装置进行通信,例如存储器(一般为闪存)210、音频放大器211、用于通过电话网络(例如PSTN)进行传输的扬声器212、红外(IR)收发器213、例如使用蓝牙标准的无线收发器214以及天线215。可以使用其它的元件组和其它的元件组合。微控制器209一般按照例如控制程序处理输入的信号,控制程序被存储在ROM或其它的存储器中,这些存储器被包含在微控制器209内或例如通过利用RAM的暂时存储功能和微控制器209相连,并可对处理单元101的控制元件提供驱动或控制信号,例如用于进行测试。处理单元101例如可以和电动机208或用于控制套带102的阀门204相连。电池电源224对处理单元101的元件提供所需的电压。可以使用闪存之外的存储方法。
压力传感器109的输出信号在被处理单元109收到后,便可以在本地在处理单元101中被处理。或者,这种信号可以在远方装置例如在诊室被处理。例如,压力传感器109的信号可被输入到低通滤波器206,其向微控制器209的模拟输入AN4选择地传送接收的压力信号的心跳同步振动分量作为脉冲波信号“PWS”。脉冲波信号PWS一般代表由被测臂的受压动脉产生的脉冲波,其被传播到可充气的臂套带102,在臂上提供压力。压力传感器109的压力信号例如可被输入到低通滤波器207,其可以选择地向微控制器209的模拟输入AN3传送接收的信号的稳态分量作为套带压力信号“SPS”。在一个实施例中,套带压力信号SPS代表可充气臂套带102内的静态压力的改变。可以使用用于处理压力传感器的输出的其他方法和装置,在其它实施例中,不需要由人佩带的本地单元进行处理。
