Description
Technical Field
Medical, electrical engineering, and information technology.
Prior Art
An electric leakage detection stick for a hearing impaired person comprises an electrode energy detection unit (1 pair), an energy storage unit, an alarm level adjustment unit, an optical alarm unit, an acoustic alarm unit and a vibration alarm unit. When the stored voltage is high enough to adjust the value set in the alarm level adjusting unit, the energy detecting unit acquires energy generated by the current leakage and stores it in a capacitor in the energy storing unit.
Thailand patent No. 13158 describes a three-way induction crutch with an obstacle locator for use by visually impaired persons. The invention consists of an angularly curved handle and a headset which can communicate with the user if an obstacle or hole is found. The bottom of the handle is provided with a box which is provided with an electronic device and a battery. The box comprises an ultrasonic sensing detector, an electronic compass, a processing unit and a DAC unit. The top, front and bottom areas of the box are also equipped with ultrasonic sensors.
The thailand patent No. 17355 describes a cane that uses light beams as visual stimuli for parkinson's disease and patients with central nervous system degeneration. The pole has a light source which irradiates a light beam parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the pole. One end of the pole is equipped with a magnifying glass/glass crystal which can magnify the diameter of the beam or form a shape with its outer edge. The magnifying lens is positioned on the first rotary disk and can move so as to adjust the light distance required by the patient.
Thailand patent publication number 1901000186A describes a kinetic energy conversion cane. The pole obtains kinetic energy from pressure, impact and vibration using the pole through a circular piezoelectric disc and generates energy in the form of alternating current. The stiffening ring and spring stack create additional bounce and vibration, thereby obtaining more energy. The energy is sent to a boost energy conversion device that converts alternating current to direct current through a circuit diagram and circuitry. In this way, the direct current does not generate unstable electric energy. Power is then sent through the power supply to the backup battery or other electronic device port.
These prior art techniques have different drawbacks, in particular the inability to connect the system to the server of a hospital, clinic or caretaker via CPU and GSM.
Description and objects of the invention
The walking stick has numerous enhanced functions and characteristics, and can improve the safety of users. In order for the cane to be able to measure heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, the cane user/purchaser must first download an application program to the smartphone. The pole is also equipped with a GSM module which allows access to the current location of the user in case of emergency and for maintenance of the application (care system maintenance). The caretaker can also access the pole system to see if the user is cold. Thus, all-weather nursing can be realized under the condition that no person is present. The use of a GSM module may also help family members find and locate alzheimer's disease patients.
Thus, the cane is intended to improve public safety and provide a new way for hospitals to monitor patients on a regular basis, facilitating their review and knowledge of current patient information.
The cane is provided with a hollow handle. A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is arranged in the grab handle, and various sensors are arranged on the grab handle, including a heart rate measuring module, a blood pressure measuring module, a body temperature measuring module, a CPU and GSM, GPS and Bluetooth modules.
A portion of the grip has three sections into which fingers can be inserted. An inserted finger will touch the mounted sensor with its signal wires connected to a set of modules mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The three modules are connected through a signal wire, and recorded data are transmitted to the CPU and the GSM, so that the walking stick can position a user. The CPU processes the data from each module and transmits it to the bluetooth module and the cloud server. The Bluetooth module receives the data and sends the data to the smart phone for viewing in real time.
A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) receives current from a battery mounted in the shaft through a power cord. The power cord is connected to the piezoelectric module on the other side of the battery. The piezoelectric module has a power cord connected to the piezoelectric disc which extracts energy from the movement of the pole. By the pressure exerted by the patient on the pole, the pole will generate an electric current from the piezoelectric disc through the piezoelectric module. The battery also has a connection port for receiving external power.
All sensors and modules mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are battery powered, with recorded data being transmitted to a cloud server (server) via CPU, GSM and GPS. The cloud server generates data, processes it, and displays it on a Smart Care System (SCS) application that sends a help signal (SOS call) to the hospital, clinic, or caretaker if an anomaly is detected.
