Description

Automatic hypertension nursing system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of healthcare and monitoring devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to an automated hypertension care system that is capable of predicting in advance the possibility that normal human health will be affected by hypertension-related problems.

Background

Too high a force of the blood against the artery wall. Hypertension is generally defined as blood pressure above 140/90, and is considered severe if it is above 180/120. Hypertension is usually asymptomatic. Over time, failure to be treated can lead to health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, etc., and can lead to dangerous complications and even death. The health of the diet, less salt, frequent exercise and taking of the medicine can help to reduce the blood pressure.

However, in the modern lifestyle era, most people over 35 are susceptible to hypertension for various reasons. Therefore, the same thing needs to be tested in advance in order to take preventive health measures to avoid further complications.

There are currently many different types of blood pressure prediction systems on the market. Reference may be made to US6514211, which discloses three well-known techniques for non-invasively monitoring arterial blood pressure waveforms of a subject: auscultation, oscillometry, and tonometers.

Further, US8157730B2 discloses systems and methods for monitoring various physiological and environmental factors, and for using this information for a variety of useful purposes. A real-time, non-invasive health and environmental monitor includes a plurality of compact sensors integrated in a small, low-profile device. Physiological and environmental data is collected and wirelessly transmitted to a wireless network where the data is stored and/or processed. This information is then used to support various useful methods such as clinical trials, market research, biofeedback, entertainment, etc.

WO2016110804A1 discloses one or more wearable devices (i.e. attached or applied to a limb, body, head or other body extremity, but also applicable to implantable or physiologically attachable systems). These systems have the following means: to achieve diagnostic or prognostic monitoring, suitable for monitoring relevant parameters; and corresponding analytical determinations and characterizations, as applicable to the onset or detection of an event or condition of interest. One application relates to sleep monitoring and related electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors.

Accordingly, in view of the above-described limitations of conventional/existing practices, techniques, apparatus, and methods, there is a need for an improved practice, system, and method that addresses various problems, including but not limited to: predicting the possibility of damage to normal human health from hypertension; and providing appropriate medical advice in advance in remote locations where healthcare professionals are not readily available, thereby minimizing the risk of health problems associated with blood pressure and saving lives in a simple and cost-effective manner. Furthermore, it would be desirable to develop a technologically advanced automatic hypertension care system that includes all the advantages of the conventional/existing technologies/methods and overcomes the deficiencies of these technologies/methods.
