Smart watch for people with diabetes

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a smart watch or "smartwatch" whose purpose is to allow monitoring of blood glucose in real time for people with type 1 diabetes, both children and adults.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that provides safety, learning, tranquility and empowerment both to child and adult patients with this disease process and to their families and their educators and tutors.

It is a smart watch, for diabetic people, that continuously monitors blood glucose and that can send clinical reports to promote the continuity of care for these patients, both children and adults, thus increasing the peace of mind of parents, guardians, and family members who live day to day with this type of patient.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of practical application of the invention, means are known to carry out blood glucose level readings that are materialized in independent devices, which are applied to the skin of the subject, and which include a wireless transmitter through which to send the data received to a mobile phone for analysis.

Thus, they are intrusive, annoying and unsightly devices, easy to forget or lose during the user's daily life.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The smart watch for diabetics that is recommended fully satisfactorily solves the aforementioned problem, based on a simple but effective.

For this, and more specifically, the invention starts from the conventional structuring of a smart watch or smartwatch, in which a bracelet with fastening means and a main casing participate, in which a touch screen is integrated, associated with a motherboard with its corresponding microprocessor, GPS, battery and wireless communications antenna with WIFI and Bluetooth® technology, the clock of the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that a glucose level monitoring device is integrated in it. blood.

Thus, in addition to the conventional features that a smartwatch type watch can offer, the device of the invention allows the blood glucose level to be monitored in real time, which can be viewed through the clock screen, and can even be connected Through an application to caregivers, tutors, family members, educators, healthcare professionals from different disciplines.

In the same way, it could be connected with the Coordinating Center at 112, emergency service in case of life-threatening situations; as in the hypoglycemia that this type of patient can present. First, they would be notified by an alarm both audible and by image of danger and would activate the call alert to 112. That person can be located by the GPS, which has their watch connected.

Regarding the device's electrical supply, it must have sufficient autonomy, having provided that, optionally and in addition to the internal battery that it includes, the watch face could be complemented with a perimeter crown based on solar cells. photovoltaic systems that allow to significantly increase the autonomy of the device.

According to a first variant embodiment, the blood glucose level monitoring device can be embodied in an interstitial sensor. In this way, the clock collects the data from the diabetes sensor, insulin pump or glucometers, and can be materialized in any type of existing interstitial sensor.

Said interstitial sensor will present a removable character from the watch case, in order to allow its periodic replacement, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

In this way it is not necessary to have to carry the mobile nearby, nor would it be necessary to have to pass the mobile through the sensor to collect the data to the app, since the same watch would have it integrated, to which we must add the fact that given the way the watch is fixed, the sensor could never be accidentally detached, forgotten or lost, as well as being totally unnoticed, as it is arranged on the inside of the watch case.

In a second variant of embodiment, the blood glucose level monitoring device could be implemented in a non-invasive environment, combining artificial intelligence with a radar system, to measure blood glucose without having to use the micro needles used in the sensor. that mediates interstitial glycemia. This measures glucose levels by radar, jointly using a projector that applies a biomarker to the patient's skin over the area to be analyzed using radars.

Radar works by sending electromagnetic waves from a transmitter that are reflected off an object, in this case a glucose solution, and back to the receiver, providing information on the object's speed and location. Using this technology, the device software analyzes the results with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.

Since blood glucose varies with body temperature, the watch may additionally include a temperature sensor.

In short, it is about perceiving the body's blood without having to take blood samples and prick, technology that will be perfectly integrated into the watch, without having to periodically change sensors, being therefore easy to wear and with continuous monitoring for type 1 diabetics, improving their quality of life, family reconciliation for relatives, and reducing anxiety in educators and tutors of children with diabetes, since this device is connected through an app to their mobile devices, and they can be informed at every moment. In this way, you do not need to carry your mobile at recess or in class. And in a life-threatening case such as hypoglycemia, the hypoglycemia code would be activated and the alert to the center would be activated coordinator 112, to carry out the action protocol in these cases.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order to complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a drawing is attached as an integral part of said description. For illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a schematic block diagram of the essential components that participate in a smart watch for people with diabetes made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figure, it can be seen how the device of the invention starts from the conventional structuring of a smart watch, in which a bracelet associated with a housing that integrates a touch screen (1) associated with a motherboard (2) with its corresponding microprocessor (3), including a GPS module (4), a rechargeable battery (5), associated with the corresponding electrical supply circuit (6), as well as an antenna (7) for wireless communications with WIFI and Bluetooth® technology.

Well, based on this structuring, the smart watch of the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that it additionally incorporates and is integrated into it a glucose level monitoring device (8).

Through this device it is possible to monitor the blood glucose level in real time, which can be viewed through the clock screen, and can even connect through an application to caregivers, tutors, family members, educators, health professionals referents of different disciplines.

According to a first variant embodiment, the glucose level monitoring device (8) may be embodied in an interstitial sensor, capable of being periodically removed and replaced in a housing (9) provided for this purpose in the watch casing.

Another solution envisaged is for the blood glucose level monitoring device (8) to materialize in a non-invasive medium, such as a radar system, jointly using a projector (10) that applies a light to the patient's skin. biomarker on the area to be analyzed using said radars.

Finally, it is worth noting the fact that the watch could optionally include an additional means of power supply, so that the watch face or screen could be complemented with a perimeter crown (11) based on photovoltaic solar cells that allow to significantly increase the device autonomy.
