Description

Pulse wave measuring device and method based on LED diode and LED display matrix

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric and human health monitoring, in particular to a pulse wave measuring device and method based on an LED diode and an LED display matrix.

Background

The non-invasive detection of human health and characteristic data is one of the leading directions in the field of current medical engineering, and the optoelectronic method is a research hotspot in recent years, wherein the relatively representative method is photoplethysmography (PPG), and the method has the advantages of low cost, safety, high efficiency and high data precision, and thus is widely applied and researched. According to the Lamber-Beer law, the absorbance of a substance at a certain wavelength is proportional to its concentration. When light of a constant frequency is incident on a tissue of a human body, absorption of the light by the tissue such as skin, blood, and muscle is not changed, and thus characteristics and change information of the irradiated human body tissue are included by detecting the light absorbed and reflected through the human body tissue. The pulse is mainly generated by the relaxation and contraction of the human heart, and the movement is reflected in the relaxation and contraction of the arteries. Capillary vessels are rich in parts such as fingertips, wrists, elbows and necks of a human body, so that the measurement parts of the traditional photoelectric pulse wave sensor are usually designed at the positions of the fingertips or the wrists, and when the heart contracts, the capillary vessels have large blood flow and strong light absorption; when the heart relaxes, the capillary blood flow is small and the reflected light intensity is high. The pulse wave of a human body is reflected by detecting the intensity of reflected light, most of the existing photoelectric pulse wave sensors are used for detecting fingertips, and phototriodes are used as photosensitive elements and can only be used as independent instruments.

The LED screen used in daily life is essentially a matrix formed by PN junction diodes, and the diodes can emit light when forward voltage is connected to the two ends of the LEDs; on the contrary, according to the photoelectric effect, when light irradiates on the PN junction diode, photons carrying energy enter the PN junction, the energy is transferred to bound electrons on a covalent bond, so that part of electrons break loose from the covalent bond to generate electron-hole pairs, also called photocarriers, and the existence of the electron-hole pairs causes reverse current to be obviously increased, thereby generating an electric signal. The LED screen on the market only utilizes the display function of the LED screen, and the photoelectric characteristic of the LED screen is not fully utilized. This patent introduces the photoplethysmography detection function on the basis that LED is luminous and shows, is the new detection means of the compatible demonstration simultaneously of the present pulse ripples of fungible product and lighting system.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the device is mainly used for collecting waveform changes of pulse waves of capillary vessels of fingertips so as to analyze health data such as pulse and heart rate variation rate of a human body. The whole system consists of three parts, namely signal acquisition, signal amplification optimization and data analysis. In the signal acquisition part, 5 LED diodes 1 are included, the 5 LED diodes 1 can be controlled by the driving circuit 5 to perform display function, the central LED is set as the receiving LED12 and is not controlled by the driving circuit 5, and the rest surrounding the central LED is the emitting LED11 which is controlled by the driving circuit 5 to emit light normally. The emitting LED11 is used as a light source to emit incident light 21 to irradiate the surface of the human skin 3, reflected light carrying blood oxygen information is irradiated on the receiving LED12 after being reflected by the capillary 4, and the receiving LED12 converts the received optical information into electrical information due to photoelectric effect.

In the hardware filtering acquisition module 6, firstly, the input original signal is subjected to RC filtering through the filtering amplification circuit 8 to reduce the influence of power frequency, then the original signal is amplified by 70 times by using the operational amplification circuit and acquired into the data processing analysis module 7 through the analog-to-digital conversion circuit 9, the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal passing through the hardware filtering acquisition module 6 is improved, useful information is amplified, the fluctuation of pulse waves can be observed obviously, but the interference of power frequency, baseline drift, respiration and the like still exists, and therefore the following data processing analysis module 7 is needed.

As shown in fig. 5, the data processing and analyzing module 7 in the present embodiment includes two parts, namely, a filtering process and a peak detection.

And (3) filtering treatment: in the filtering process, firstly, band-pass filtering is carried out, and the pass band is set to be 0.4-4Hz to filter noise interference of power frequency and respiration; for the problem of baseline shift, a suitable filter function is selected, for example, Daubechies fourth-order basis function is selected to be convolved with the original signal X:

c0＝(1+sqrt(3))/(4*sqrt(2))

c1＝(3+sqrt(3))/(4*sqrt(2))

c2＝(3-sqrt(3))/(4*sqrt(2))

c3＝(1-sqrt(3))/(4*sqrt(2))

lp＝[c0,c1,c2,c3]

hp＝[c3,-c2,c1,-c0]

the original signal X is continuously decomposed into high-pass components

And a low-pass component

Stopping the decomposition when a specified order is reached to obtain a corresponding low-pass component for peak detection

Order size by calculating the high-pass component

The energy coefficient of (clac) is judged and energy is takenWhen the coefficient of measure clac is minimal, as the specified order:

peak detection: subtracting the low-pass component from the original signal

The signals after power frequency, respiration and baseline shift elimination can be obtained. The peak value detection is carried out by using the signal, a moving window is established in the peak value detection part to continuously slide, and average filtering is carried out in the window and the maximum value of the second derivative is obtained, thus obtaining all peak value data. In order to improve the accuracy, window sliding is carried out again after the detected peak value, whether the T wave is detected by mistake or not is verified, the number N of the peak value within the detection time T is obtained, and a HEART RATE HEART _ RATE formula is calculated as follows;

HEART_RATE＝N/t*60

besides, the heart rate variability and the human health characteristic information such as blood pressure related to the heart rate variability can be obtained through calculation, and the real-time information can be obtained by connecting the signal acquisition end with the terminal, so that the health monitoring effect is achieved.

The emitting LEDs 11 and the receiving LEDs 12 are evenly distributed in the LED diodes 1, and each receiving LED12 can be surrounded by the LED11 by adopting a staggered arrangement mode, when the receiving LED12 works, light emitted by the emitting LED11 adjacent to the receiving LED12 enters the skin 3 of a human body as shown in fig. 1, and is reflected to the receiving LED12 by blood in the capillary 4, because the photoelectric effect LED2 converts received optical information into electrical information, the electrical information is input into the hardware filtering acquisition module 4 and the data processing analysis module 7, and the specific optimization modes of signal filtering amplification and the like are the same as those in the embodiment 1.

Since the blood flow and blood oxygen content of the capillary 4 affect the intensity of the reflected light 22, the light information received by the receiving LED12 carries the characteristic information of the human body, and after being converted into the electrical information, the electrical information shows the pulse wave with individual differences in period, shape, and the like. And a plurality of receiving LEDs 12 in the detection area 13 can measure a plurality of points simultaneously, so that multi-point blood oxygen change characteristic information with densely distributed palms can be obtained, and the information can be used for living body identification and identity identification by means of other fingerprint and palm print identification.
