First, a medical device according to an embodiment of the present application is described with reference to fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a schematic block diagram of a medical device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the medical device 100 includes a main control circuit 110, a power module 120, and a function module 130 for implementing at least one medical function of the medical device 100. The functional module 130 is powered by the power module 120 and controlled by the main control circuit 110. Wherein the medical device 100 is switched between at least two modes of operation, including a continuous monitoring mode of operation and a discontinuous monitoring mode of operation. In the continuous monitoring mode, the main control circuit 110 controls the all functional modules 130 to continuously operate, so as to continuously monitor all parameters (corresponding to the parameters corresponding to the all functional modules) or the first partial parameters (corresponding to the parameters corresponding to the first partial functions) that can be monitored by the medical device 100; in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, the main control circuit 110 controls at least the second partial functional module 130 to operate at intervals, so as to monitor parameters corresponding to the at least the second partial functional module at intervals; when the preset condition is satisfied, the main control circuit 110 controls the other functional modules 130 except at least the second partial functional module 130 to start the monitoring operation; or when a preset condition is met, the main control circuit 110 controls all the functional modules or the first partial functional modules to execute monitoring work; or when the preset condition is met, the main control circuit 110 controls the all functional modules or the first partial functional modules to resume continuous operation.

Under the condition that the main control circuit controls the first part of functional modules to continuously work, the number of the first part of functional modules is not less than the number of the functional modules for continuously monitoring in the discontinuous monitoring working mode. Continuous monitoring is understood to mean monitoring at very small intervals, for example once per second, to obtain a value; interval monitoring is understood to mean monitoring at larger intervals, for example every 5 minutes (or other intervals), than continuous monitoring, resulting in a value.

In an embodiment of the present application, the master control circuit 110 may include a processor and a memory (not shown in fig. 1) having stored thereon computer instructions that are executed by the processor to control the functional module 130. In embodiments of the present application, the functional module 130 may be a module for implementing a medical function of the medical device 100, such as a parameter measurement circuit (such as an electrocardiograph signal parameter measurement circuit, a respiratory parameter measurement circuit, a body temperature parameter measurement circuit, a blood oxygen parameter measurement circuit, a non-invasive blood pressure parameter measurement circuit, an invasive blood pressure parameter measurement circuit, etc.), a display, an alarm circuit, an interface circuit, etc. In embodiments of the present application, the power module 120 may include a rechargeable battery or a non-rechargeable battery.

In the continuous monitoring mode of operation, the master control circuit 110 controls all of the functional modules 130 to operate continuously to monitor all of the parameters that the medical device 100 is capable of monitoring. This may be applied in a continuous monitoring scenario, such as the day of the end of a patient procedure, where the patient's risk is highest for a period of time during which the highest level of monitoring needs to be given to the patient, at which stage the medical device 100 needs to ensure performance optimization, and the parameters supported by the medical device 100 are continuously monitored, ensuring that the patient can give early warning the first time when a crisis situation occurs. Alternatively, the master control circuit 110 controls the first portion of the functional modules to operate continuously to monitor a parameter (e.g., a first portion of the parameters) that the medical device 100 is capable of monitoring.

In the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, the main control circuit 110 controls the at least second partial functional module 130 to operate at intervals, so as to monitor parameters corresponding to the at least second partial functional module 130 at intervals, and other functional modules 130 except for the at least second partial functional module 130 can continue to monitor continuously. This may be applied in ambulatory monitoring scenarios, such as in sub-critical departments, where the patient is encouraged to get under bed after a certain amount of activity, activate body functions, be able to recover quickly, where certain important parameters (such as electrocardiographic signal ECG) may still be monitored continuously, other parameters (e.g. blood oxygen SPO2, respiratory RESP, body temperature TEMP, etc.) may be monitored at intervals, such as measuring for a period of time (e.g. 30 seconds) at intervals (e.g. 5 minutes). In the discontinuous monitoring working mode, the continuous monitoring of important parameters can be ensured, the abnormality of the patient can be found in time, and the power consumption of the whole machine is reduced by measuring other parameters at intervals. Therefore, the balance of power consumption and performance is realized on the premise of ensuring the safety of the patient according to the recovery condition of the patient body.

In addition, in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, when the preset condition is met, the main control circuit 110 may control all the functional modules 130 or the first partial functional modules to start operation immediately; alternatively, all of the functional modules 130 or a first portion of the functional modules are controlled to resume continuous operation. For example, the preset conditions may include receiving and/or detecting information indicative of patient condition deterioration, and when receiving and/or detecting information indicative of patient condition deterioration, the main control circuit 110 controls all of the functional modules to resume continuous operation. That is, when an emergency situation occurs to a patient, the main control circuit 110 may control the medical device 100 such that some of the intermittently monitored parameters in the discontinuous monitoring mode are changed to be continuously monitored to rapidly cope with the emergency situation of the patient, which may be applied to an emergency monitoring scenario. For example, information on patient exacerbation in various embodiments of the present application may include, but is not limited to, hypo-oxygenation (e.g., sustained decrease), falls, ERAS score reaching a threshold indicative of patient exacerbation, etc.

As another example, the preset condition may include receiving a viewing instruction from a healthcare worker, and when receiving the viewing instruction, the master control circuit 110 may control all of the functional modules 130 or the first part of the functional modules to start operation immediately. In discontinuous monitoring mode of operation, if the healthcare worker wishes to view the measurement, but some parameter still requires waiting for the duration of the interval period (e.g., 5 minutes) to see the value, the user experience may be very poor. Therefore, measurement of all or a first portion of the parameters may be initiated immediately upon receipt of a viewing instruction by the healthcare worker to meet the viewing needs of the user.

Illustratively, the medical device 100 may include a touch screen (not shown), and when the touch screen is lit, the main control circuit 110 receives a viewing instruction, and during the time that the touch screen remains lit, the main control circuit controls all or a first portion of the functional modules to continue to operate. In this example, the healthcare worker sends a view instruction through the touch screen, and the master control device 110 receives the view instruction according to the touch screen, thereby immediately initiating measurement of all or a first portion of the parameters upon receipt of the instruction. In addition, the master control device 110 can always keep continuous measurement of all parameters when the screen is on, so that medical staff can immediately view data to be viewed when viewing the screen, and user experience is further improved. Generally, the operation of lighting up the screen by the medical staff is very few, and the influence on the power consumption is not great.

In addition, in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, the main control circuit 110 may also control the at least second partial functional module 130 to operate at intervals, so as to monitor the parameters corresponding to the at least second partial functional module 130 at intervals, and the other functional modules 130 except for the at least second partial functional module 130 may stop monitoring. This may be applied to situations where the patient has recovered better. For example, only some important parameters are monitored at intervals, and other parameters may no longer be monitored. In this scenario, when a preset condition is satisfied (for example, when a viewing instruction such as the lighting of a screen or the like is received as described above), the other functional modules 130 than at least the second partial functional module 130 may be controlled to start executing the monitoring work.

Based on the above description, the medical device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application may include a continuous monitoring operation mode and a discontinuous monitoring operation mode, and since at least the second part of parameters are monitored intermittently in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, power consumption may be saved and standby time of the medical device may be prolonged; in addition, in a discontinuous monitoring mode of operation, measurements of all or a first portion of the parameters may be initiated immediately when a preset condition is met (such as when a viewing instruction is received by a healthcare worker); or controlling the parameters which are not subjected to interval monitoring in all the parameters or the parameters which are not subjected to interval monitoring in the first part of parameters to start measurement; or (such as upon receiving information indicating deterioration of a patient's condition) immediately begin continuous monitoring of all or a first portion of the parameters, may meet the needs of a variety of different scenarios (such as the need for medical personnel to view and the need for patient safety monitoring).

In further embodiments of the present application, the medical device 100 may be a wearable monitoring device. In addition to the continuous monitoring mode of operation and the discontinuous monitoring mode of operation described above, the medical device 100 may also include an unmonitored mode of operation in which the master control circuit 110 controls all of the functional modules 130 to enter a low power consumption state. When the master control circuit 110 detects that the medical device 100 is in the unworn state, the master control circuit 110 may control all the functional modules 130 to enter the low power consumption state so that the medical device 100 is in the non-monitoring operation mode. If there is no unmonitored mode of operation, many of the function modules 130 measuring parameters are still operating at a certain frequency while not being worn, which consumes a significant amount of power. For example, in the morning when the patient is wearing the device to begin monitoring, the midday patient is taking the device off and placing it on a bedside table in the ward, it is desirable that the device consume as little or no power as possible, but that the sensors or op-amps of some of the parameter-measuring function modules 130 still have little power consumption. In this case, therefore, the non-guardian mode of operation is set to minimize power consumption, which is advantageous in that the device can be used for a longer period of time after the patient is operated to wear it back. Thus, the non-guardian mode of operation may be used for non-wearable non-guardian scenes. The low power consumption state of each functional module 130 may include a sleep state and a power-off state, among others. For example, for parameter measurement circuits, displays, etc., it may be dormant or even powered off directly when not measured. A medical device 200 capable of detecting a wearing state is described below with reference to fig. 2.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of a medical device 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the medical device 200 includes a main control circuit 210, a power module 220, a function module 230 for implementing medical functions of the medical device 200, and an acceleration sensor 240. The functional module 230 is powered by the power module 220 and controlled by the main control circuit 210, and the acceleration sensor 240 is powered by the power module 220 and is used for detecting a motion state of the medical device 200, so that the main control circuit 210 determines whether the medical device is in an unworn state.

The medical device 200 is switched among at least three modes of operation, including a continuous monitoring mode of operation, a discontinuous monitoring mode of operation, and a non-monitoring mode of operation. In the continuous monitoring mode, the main control circuit 210 controls all of the functional modules 230 or the first part of the functional modules to continuously operate so as to continuously monitor parameters that can be monitored by the medical device 200; in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, the main control circuit 210 controls at least the second partial functional module 230 to operate at intervals, so as to monitor parameters corresponding to the at least the second partial functional module 230 at intervals, and when a preset condition is met, the main control circuit 210 controls other functional modules except the at least the second partial functional module to start monitoring operation; or when the preset condition is met, the main control circuit 210 controls all the functional modules or the first partial functional modules to execute monitoring work; or when the preset condition is met, the main control circuit 210 controls the all functional modules or the first partial functional modules to resume continuous operation. The continuous monitoring mode and the discontinuous monitoring mode of operation of the medical device 100 have been described in detail in connection with fig. 1, and the continuous monitoring mode and the discontinuous monitoring mode of operation of the medical device 200 are the same as described above, and for brevity, will not be described here in detail, but will be mainly described with respect to the non-monitoring mode of operation. For the medical device 200, in the non-monitoring mode of operation, the master control circuit 210 controls all of the functional modules 230 to enter a low power consumption state. The non-monitoring operation mode is an operation mode in which the main control circuit 210 controls the medical device 200 to enter when detecting that the medical device 200 is in an unworn state, and in the example shown in fig. 2, the main control circuit 210 determines whether the medical device 200 is in an unworn state based on the detection data of the acceleration sensor 240.

In one embodiment, the unworn state may include: the leads fall off and the medical device 200 remains stationary for a preset time. In this embodiment, the main control circuit 210 may determine whether the medical device 200 is in a stationary state through the acceleration sensor 240 when the lead is detected to be dropped, and if the medical device 200 is in a stationary state for a preset time in the case of the lead being dropped, it may determine that the medical device 200 is in an unworn state, at which time the main control circuit 210 may control all the functional modules 230 to enter a low power consumption state so that the medical device 200 is in an unmonitored operation mode. This embodiment provides a method of judging the unworn state, that is, judging whether the lead is detached and whether the medical device 200 remains in a stationary state for a preset time. In other embodiments, other methods may be used to determine the unworn state, such as at least one functional module 230 not outputting valid data for a preset time, and the like, without limitation.

In the non-monitoring operation mode, only the power supply to the main control unit 210 and the acceleration sensor 240 may be maintained, so that the overall power consumption may be reduced to the maximum extent, and the state of the device may be detected in real time by the acceleration sensor 240, so as to determine whether the unworn state of the medical device 200 is changed. In an embodiment of the present application, when the master control circuit 210 detects that the medical device 200 moves through the acceleration sensor 240, the master control circuit 210 may control at least a third part of the functional modules 230 (e.g., some functional modules measuring important parameters, etc.) or all of the functional modules 230 to exit the low power consumption state, so that the medical device 200 exits the non-monitoring operation mode. For example, when the medical device is taken up by a medical staff, the acceleration sensor can determine that the device is moving, and the main control unit 210 can immediately resume the power supply of the power module 220 to the function module 230, so that the function module 230 can immediately work. At this time, the main control unit 210 may control the medical device 200 to enter the continuous monitoring operation mode or the non-continuous monitoring operation mode, and specifically may confirm whether to enter the continuous monitoring operation mode or the non-continuous monitoring operation mode according to a user instruction or a default setting.

In further embodiments of the present application, the operating modes of the medical device 200 may also include a shipping operating mode (ship mode) in which the main control circuit 210 controls the power module 220 to be turned off. Specifically, when the master control circuit 210 detects that all the functional modules 230 are in the low power consumption state for a preset time, the master control circuit 210 may control the power supply module 220 to be turned off, and only the master control circuit 210 itself maintains the power supply, so that the medical device 200 is in the transportation operation mode. In the transport operation mode, the main control circuit 210 can keep power supply, and the transport operation mode is a mode that only the main control circuit 210 keeps power supply, is a mode with extremely low power consumption, can not generate overdischarge even if stored for a long time, and can be applied to application scenes in which equipment is forgotten. For example, the wearable medical device 200 is smaller in size, and when the main control module 210 detects that the device is not worn, it may be that the device is removed and put in a place, and at this time, the main control module 210 controls all the functional modules 230 to be in a low power consumption state, and if the device is put in a drawer or a corner which is difficult to find, the device is only imagined for half a year or two years, and at this time, the battery of the device is easy to cause overdischarge. Therefore, the above-mentioned transportation operation mode of the medical device 200 can effectively avoid the over-discharge of the battery in the power module 220.

Based on the above description, the medical device 200 according to the embodiment of the present application may include a continuous monitoring operation mode and a discontinuous monitoring operation mode, and since at least the second part of parameters are monitored intermittently in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode, power consumption may be saved and standby time of the medical device may be prolonged; in addition, in the discontinuous monitoring working mode, when preset conditions are met (such as when a viewing instruction of a medical staff is received), measurement of all parameters can be started immediately, or parameter starting measurement without interval monitoring is controlled, or continuous monitoring of all parameters is started immediately (such as when information indicating the worsening of the condition of a patient is received), and requirements (such as the viewing requirement of the medical staff and the safety monitoring requirement of the patient) in various different scenes can be met. In addition, the medical device 200 according to the embodiment of the application may include an unmonitored operation mode, which may be used in an application scenario where the medical device is not worn, and in the unmonitored operation mode, all functional modules of the medical device 200 enter a low power consumption state, so that power consumption can be further saved, and once the device moves, the unmonitored operation mode can be immediately exited, so that the device can be ensured to be normally used. In addition, the medical device 200 according to the embodiment of the application may further include a transportation working mode, which may be applied to an application scenario where the device is forgotten, and in the transportation working mode, the medical device 200 only supplies power to the main control module itself, and is in an extremely low power consumption state, so that overdischarge of the power supply module can be prevented.

The above exemplarily shows a medical device according to an embodiment of the present application. A control method of a medical device according to another aspect of the present application is described below in connection with fig. 3 to 6, wherein the control method 300 may be implemented by (the master circuit 110 of) the medical device 100 as described above; the control method 400 and the control method 500 may be implemented by (the master circuit 210 of) the medical device 200 described above; part of the operations of the control method 600 may be implemented by (the master circuit 110 of) the medical device 100 and part of the operations may be implemented by (the master circuit 210 of) the medical device 200. Since some technical details have been described in detail above, hereinafter, for brevity, descriptions of some technical details are omitted, and those skilled in the art can understand the technical details in the methods described below with reference to the foregoing descriptions.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic flow chart of a method 300 of controlling a medical device according to one embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the control method 300 of the medical device may include the steps of:

in step S310, when the first trigger condition is detected, the medical device is controlled to operate in a continuous monitoring mode of operation for indicating continuous monitoring of all or a first portion of the parameters that can be monitored.

When the second trigger condition is detected, the medical device is controlled to operate in a discontinuous monitoring mode of operation for indicating intermittent monitoring of at least a second part of all parameters that can be monitored, step S320.

In step S330, in the discontinuous monitoring mode of operation, when a third trigger condition is detected, controlling the medical device to initiate measurement of parameters other than at least the second portion of parameters; or controlling the medical device to start measurement of all the parameters; alternatively, the medical device is controlled to resume continuous monitoring of all or a first portion of the parameters.

Here, although step S310 is written before step S320, step S320 may be performed before step S310. Step S330 is generally performed after step S320.

In this embodiment of the present application, in a case where the continuous monitoring operation mode is used to indicate continuous monitoring of the first partial parameters, the number of the first partial parameters is not less than the number of parameters for continuous detection in the discontinuous monitoring operation mode. It will be appreciated that the power consumption of the discontinuous monitoring mode of operation is less than the power consumption of the continuous monitoring mode of operation.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first trigger condition may include that the medical device is currently applied to a continuous monitoring scenario, and the second trigger condition may include that the medical device is currently applied to a mobile monitoring scenario.

In an embodiment of the present application, the third triggering condition includes receiving/detecting information indicative of a patient condition being worsened, and controlling the medical device to resume continuous monitoring of all or a first portion of the parameters when the information indicative of the patient condition being worsened is received/detected.

In an embodiment of the present application, the third trigger condition includes receiving/detecting a viewing instruction of the medical personnel, and when receiving/detecting the viewing instruction, controlling the medical device to initiate measurement of the other parameters than the at least second partial parameter; alternatively, the medical device is controlled to resume continuous monitoring of all or a first portion of the parameters.

In an embodiment of the present application, the medical device includes a touch screen, and the method 300 may further include: when the touch screen is lightened, controlling the medical device to start measuring other parameters except at least the second part of parameters; alternatively, the medical device is controlled to immediately initiate a resumption of continuous monitoring of all or a first portion of the parameters.
