Description

本発明は、日常的に心拍および心電波形を取得するために用いられる生体電極および生体電極を用いた生体電気信号取得システムおよび方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a bioelectrode used for acquiring heartbeat and electrocardiogram waveforms on a daily basis, and a bioelectric signal acquisition system and method using the bioelectrode.

近年、日常的な自己の健康管理の重要性が指摘されている。このような個人の健康管理の手法の一つとして、長期間にわたって心電波形を記録することが提案されている。得られた波形を解析することで、自律神経の乱れや心臓病の兆候を早期に発見することができ、予防医学において有効であることが知られている。   In recent years, the importance of daily self-care has been pointed out. As one of such personal health management techniques, it has been proposed to record an electrocardiographic waveform over a long period of time. It is known that by analyzing the obtained waveform, disorder of autonomic nerves and signs of heart disease can be detected at an early stage, which is effective in preventive medicine.

特に、心室の収縮運動に由来するR波の発出時間間隔(R−R間隔)のゆらぎは自律神経の働きを反映しており、ストレス状態の把握に有益である。そのため、心電波形の記録装置には、R波を精度よく測定することが求められている。   In particular, the fluctuation of the R wave emission time interval (RR interval) derived from the ventricular contraction movement reflects the function of the autonomic nerve, which is useful for grasping the stress state. Therefore, an electrocardiographic waveform recording apparatus is required to accurately measure the R wave.

長期間にわたって心電波形を取得するための電極構成として、生体電極の取り付けられた衣類(ウェアラブル電極)が注目されている(例えば、非特許文献1参照)。非特許文献1では、被測定者が胸部の左右2か所に接触するような位置に電極が埋め込まれた着衣を身に着けて、心電波形を測定している。   As an electrode configuration for acquiring an electrocardiographic waveform over a long period of time, attention has been focused on clothes (wearable electrodes) to which biological electrodes are attached (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). In Non-Patent Document 1, an electrocardiographic waveform is measured by wearing a garment in which electrodes are embedded at a position where a measurement subject comes into contact with the left and right sides of the chest.

Ribeiro, et. al., "A Real time, Wearable ECG and Continous Blood Pressure Monitoring System for First Responders," 33rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE EMBS, pp. 6894-6898, 2011.David M. D. Ribeiro, et. Al., "A Real time, Wearable ECG and Continous Blood Pressure Monitoring System for First Responders," 33rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE EMBS, pp. 6894-6898, 2011.

しかしながら、従来のウェアラブル電極においては、図14に示すように生体電極51、52を衣服10における心臓20の高さ(左心室の中央ライン付近、男性では乳頭下線付近)の胸部の左右2箇所に設置することが多く、必ずしも健康な人のR波発出時の心臓電気軸(QRS軸)30に沿うものではないため、記録される心電波形においてR波のPTP(Peak to Peak:ピーク・トゥ・ピーク)高さが低く、検出精度が劣化するという課題があった。   However, in the conventional wearable electrode, as shown in FIG. 14, the bioelectrodes 51 and 52 are placed on the left and right sides of the chest at the height of the heart 20 in the garment 10 (near the center line of the left ventricle, near the nipple under the man). It is often installed and does not necessarily follow the cardiac electrical axis (QRS axis) 30 when an R wave is emitted from a healthy person. Therefore, an R wave PTP (Peak to Peak) is recorded in the recorded electrocardiographic waveform.・ Peak) There was a problem that the height was low and the detection accuracy deteriorated.

また、被測定者の心臓電気軸に軸偏位が発生している場合には、被測定者毎の心臓電気軸に応じて電極の設置位置を変えなければならず、汎用的なウェアラブル電極を提供することが難しいという問題もあった。   In addition, when an axial deviation occurs in the cardiac electrical axis of the person being measured, the installation position of the electrode must be changed according to the cardiac electrical axis of each person being measured, and a general-purpose wearable electrode There was also a problem that it was difficult to provide.

さらには、図14のように胸部の左右2箇所に電極を設置した場合、人体の姿勢が変化すると電極と人体の間に乖離が生じる場合があるので、それを防ぐための胸部を締め付ける構成が必要になり、日常的に心電波形を測定するには人体に対するストレスが大きいという問題がある。   Furthermore, when electrodes are installed at two positions on the left and right sides of the chest as shown in FIG. 14, there may be a difference between the electrodes and the human body when the posture of the human body changes. Therefore, there is a problem that the stress on the human body is large in order to measure an electrocardiographic waveform on a daily basis.

本発明は、以上のような問題を解消するためになされたものであり、心電波形のR波等の生体電気信号を長期間にわたって精度よく検出することが可能なウェラブル電極を用いた生体電気信号取得システムを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and bioelectricity using a wearable electrode capable of accurately detecting a bioelectric signal such as an R wave of an electrocardiographic waveform over a long period of time.

And a switch for selecting one bioelectric signal among the signals.

また、本発明の生体電気信号取得方法では、衣服の所定の位置に設置され、前記衣服を身に着けた生体に接触した際に前記生体の生体電気信号を検出する電極から生体電気信号を取得する生体電気信号取得方法であって、加速度センサにより前記生体の姿勢の変化を検知するステップと、第1の電極および前記第1の電極とは異なる複数の第2の電極を用いて生体電気信号を取得するステップと、前記加速度センサが前記生体の姿勢の変化を検知した際に、前記第1の電極と前記複数の第2の電極のいずれかを用いて取得された生体電気信号のうち、1つの生体電気信号を選択するステップとを含む。   In the bioelectric signal acquisition method of the present invention, the bioelectric signal is acquired from an electrode that is installed at a predetermined position of the clothes and detects the bioelectric signal of the living body when it contacts the living body wearing the clothes.

以下、本願発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。尚、説明の都合上、以下の実施の形態で用いる図面では、設置される電極が衣服の外側に設置されている様に記載されているが、実際には人体表面に接触し得るように衣服の内側に設置されている。他の実施の形態においても同様である。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. For convenience of explanation, in the drawings used in the following embodiments, it is described that the electrode to be installed is installed on the outside of the clothing, but in practice the clothing can be in contact with the human body surface. It is installed inside. The same applies to other embodiments.

[ウェアラブル電極の設置位置]
図1は、本願発明の実施の形態に係るウェアラブル電極の設置位置の一例を示す図である。図1の設置位置の例では、心臓20付近の左胸部41および背中上部43に電極を設置するため、記録される心電波形において、右胸に設置した場合よりも高いR波のPTP高さを検出することができる。さらに、健康なヒトのR波発出時の心臓電気軸(QRS軸)30に沿う位置を含む領域に電極を設置すれば、R波のPTP高さが高くなり、R波の検出精度を向上させることができる。
[Wearable electrode installation position]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the installation position of a wearable electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the example of the installation position of FIG. 1, since electrodes are installed on the left chest 41 and upper back 43 near the heart 20, the recorded electrocardiographic waveform has a higher R wave PTP height than when placed on the right chest. Can be detected. Furthermore, if an electrode is placed in a region including a position along the cardiac electrical axis (QRS axis) 30 when a healthy human R wave is emitted, the P wave height of the R wave is increased and the detection accuracy of the R wave is improved. be able to.

本願発明の実施の形態に係るウェアラブル電極の設置位置の他の例を、図2に示す。図2の設置位置の例では、左背中上部45および右背中上部44にそれぞれ少なくとも一つの電極を備えるようにしている。これにより、右側臥位・左側臥位のいずれの姿勢においても、電極が背中上部44あるいは45に接触し、姿勢の変化等に起因する電極と人体表面との乖離が生じず、長期間に渡るR波の検出が可能となる。さらに、左胸部41の電極と左背中上部45の電極の組合せと、左胸部41の電極と右背中上部44の電極の組合せのうち、よりR波のPTP高さが高い電極の組合せを選択することにより、健康な人の心臓電気軸(QRS軸)30に沿う位置を含む領域に設置された電極組合せを選択することも可能となる。   Another example of the installation position of the wearable electrode according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In the example of the installation position in FIG. 2, at least one electrode is provided on each of the upper left back 45 and the upper right back 44. As a result, the electrode contacts the upper back 44 or 45 in either the right-side or left-side posture, and the electrode does not deviate from the human body surface due to a change in posture or the like, and it extends over a long period of time. R wave can be detected. Further, a combination of electrodes having a higher R wave PTP height is selected from the combination of the electrodes of the left chest 41 and the upper left back 45 and the electrodes of the left chest 41 and the upper right back 44. Accordingly, it is possible to select an electrode combination installed in a region including a position along the cardiac electrical axis (QRS axis) 30 of a healthy person.

本願発明の実施の形態に係るウェアラブル電極の設置位置の他の例を図3に示す。図3の構成例では、左背中上部45、右背中上部44、右胸部42、右腹部46、左腹部47にそれぞれ少なくとも一つの電極を備えることにより、左胸部41に設置した電極と前記5箇所に設置した電極の組合せのうち、よりR波のPTP高さが高い電極の組合せを選択することが可能となる。また、心臓の軸偏位が発生している被測定者においても、R波発出時の心臓電気軸(QRS軸)30に沿う位置を含む領域に設置された電極組合せを選択することもできるので、記録される心電波形においてR波のPTP高さが高くなり、R波の検出精度を向上させることができる。   Another example of the installation position of the wearable electrode according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In the configuration example of FIG. 3, at least one electrode is provided on each of the upper left back 45, the upper right back 44, the right chest 42, the right abdomen 46, and the left abdomen 47, so It is possible to select a combination of electrodes having a higher R-wave PTP height from among the electrode combinations installed in 1. In addition, even in a measurement subject having a cardiac axis deviation, an electrode combination installed in a region including a position along the cardiac electrical axis (QRS axis) 30 when the R wave is emitted can be selected. In the recorded electrocardiographic waveform, the PTP height of the R wave is increased, and the detection accuracy of the R wave can be improved.

[生体電気信号取得システムの構成]
図4は、本願発明の実施の形態に係る生体電気信号取得システムの一構成例を示す図である。図4に示す生体電気信号取得システムは、衣服10、生体電気信号取得装置60、衣服10の内側に体表面に接触するように設置された生体電気信号を受信する電極51および53、および配線61および63から構成される。ウェアラブル電極は、人体の左胸部に接触する電極51と、右背中上部に接触する電極53とを備え、電極51が図1に示す領域41に設置され、前記電極53が図1に示す領域43に設置されている。
[Configuration of bioelectric signal acquisition system]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the bioelectric signal acquisition system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The bioelectric signal acquisition system shown in FIG. 4 includes a garment 10, a bioelectric signal acquisition device 60, electrodes 51 and 53 that are installed inside the garment 10 so as to be in contact with the body surface, and wiring 61. And 63. The wearable electrode includes an electrode 51 in contact with the left chest of the human body and an electrode 53 in contact with the upper right back. The electrode 51 is placed in the region 41 shown in FIG. 1, and the electrode 53 is in the region 43 shown in FIG. Is installed.

尚、図4では、電極53は電極51とほぼ同じ高さの衣服10上の位置に設置されているが、少なくとも電極51と同じ高さの位置もしくは電極51が設置された位置よりも高い位置に設置し、健康なヒトの心臓電気軸(QRS軸)に沿う位置を含む領域に電極を設置することもできる。   In FIG. 4, the electrode 53 is installed at a position on the garment 10 that is almost the same height as the electrode 51, but at least a position that is the same height as the electrode 51 or a position that is higher than the position where the electrode 51 is installed. The electrodes can also be placed in a region that includes a position along the healthy human cardiac electrical axis (QRS axis).

また、電極51は配線61によって生体電気信号取得装置60の正電極或いは負電極に接続され、電極53は配線63によって生体電気信号取得装置60の負電極或いは正電極に接続される。この電極51、53によりR波の波形が測定できるように構成されている。   Further, the electrode 51 is connected to the positive electrode or the negative electrode of the bioelectric signal acquisition device 60 by the wiring 61, and the electrode 53 is connected to the negative electrode or the positive electrode of the bioelectric signal acquisition device 60 by the wiring 63. The electrodes 51 and 53 are configured so that the waveform of the R wave can be measured.

ここで、電極51および53の素材は特に限定されず、市販の電解質ペースト付き医療用Ag/AgCl電極や、カーボンフィラー混合樹脂、Ag布、導電性高分子含浸布帛、電解液を染み込ませた布帛等を用いることができる。   Here, the materials of the electrodes 51 and 53 are not particularly limited, and a commercially available medical Ag / AgCl electrode with an electrolyte paste, a carbon filler mixed resin, an Ag cloth, a conductive polymer-impregnated cloth, or a cloth soaked with an electrolyte solution. Etc. can be used.

また、電極51および53の大きさ、数については、設置される領域に含まれる大きさ、数であれば特に制限は無い。衣服10の構造上、人体表面とよく接触する部位、例えば、両脇部、肩甲骨等を含むような大きさの電極を設置すれば、被測定者が動いても電極と人体表面との接触状態を維持しやすくなり、長期にわたって精度よく生体電気信号を取得できるようになる効果が得られる。   In addition, the size and number of the electrodes 51 and 53 are not particularly limited as long as the size and number are included in the installed region. If an electrode of a size that includes a part that is in good contact with the human body surface, for example, both sides, a scapula, etc., is installed on the structure of the garment 10, contact between the electrode and the human body surface even if the measurement subject moves. It becomes easy to maintain the state, and an effect is obtained that a bioelectric signal can be obtained with high accuracy over a long period of time.

少なくとも1つ以上の電極が人体表面と常時接触しているような、衣服上の複数の位置に電極を設置してやれば、被測定者が動いた場合でも、安定的に生体電気信号を取得することが可能となる。以下の他の実施の形態においても同様である。   If at least one electrode is placed in multiple positions on the clothes so that at least one electrode is always in contact with the human body surface, bioelectric signals can be stably acquired even when the subject moves. Is possible. The same applies to other embodiments described below.

なお、生体信号取得の際に用いられる基準電位については、衣服10に電極51および53と接触しないように別途基準電極を設けて生体電気信号取得装置60と接続してもよい。また、正電極と負電極が受信する信号から求めた中間電位を強制的に基準電位として与えてもよく、生体電気信号取得装置60の回路GND(Ground)の電位を用いても良い。   In addition, regarding the reference potential used at the time of biosignal acquisition, a separate reference electrode may be provided on the clothes 10 so as not to contact the electrodes 51 and 53 and connected to the bioelectric signal acquisition apparatus 60. Further, an intermediate potential obtained from signals received by the positive electrode and the negative electrode may be forcibly applied as a reference potential, or the potential of the circuit GND (Ground) of the bioelectric signal acquisition device 60 may be used.

また、配線61および63は、公知の配線素材を制限なく用いることができるが、ヒトの動きによって変形する衣服10上に設置されるため、例えば、導電性ゴムのように、配線素材自体に伸縮性があるもの、バネのように伸縮性のある構造・レイアウトをしているものがより望ましい。また、電極設置部位以外の人体等からの信号を取得しないよう、絶縁体で被覆されていることが望ましい。   For the wirings 61 and 63, known wiring materials can be used without limitation. However, since the wirings 61 and 63 are installed on the clothes 10 that are deformed by the movement of a human, for example, the wiring materials themselves can be expanded and contracted like conductive rubber. It is more desirable to have a flexible structure or to have a stretchable structure / layout like a spring. Moreover, it is desirable to coat with an insulator so as not to acquire a signal from a human body or the like other than the electrode installation site.

生体電気信号取得装置60は、少なくとも正電極と負電極を備え、心電波形を取得しR波を検出する公知の生体電気信号取得装置を特に限定なく用いることができる。   The bioelectric signal acquisition apparatus 60 includes at least a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and a known bioelectric signal acquisition apparatus that acquires an electrocardiographic waveform and detects an R wave can be used without any particular limitation.

図5に、電極51を左胸部41に設置し、電極53を左背中上部45または右背中上部44にそれぞれ設置した際に取得される心電波形のR波のPTP高さを、電極を右胸部に設置した場合を基準として比較測定した結果を示す。電極を右胸に設置した場合と比較し、電極を背中上部に設置した場合には1.5倍以上のR波のPTP高さが得られている。   FIG. 5 shows the PTP height of the R wave of the electrocardiogram waveform obtained when the electrode 51 is placed on the left chest 41 and the electrode 53 is placed on the upper left back 45 or the upper right back 44, respectively. The result of the comparative measurement based on the case where it is placed on the chest is shown. Compared with the case where the electrode is placed on the right chest, when the electrode is placed on the upper back, an R wave PTP height of 1.5 times or more is obtained.

また、よりPTP高さが高い右背中上部の電極を選択すれば、健康なヒトの心臓電気軸(QRS軸)30に沿う位置を含む領域に設置された電極を選択することもでき、R波の検出精度をさらに向上させることができる。   In addition, if an electrode on the upper right back having a higher PTP height is selected, an electrode installed in a region including a position along a healthy human cardiac electrical axis (QRS axis) 30 can be selected. The detection accuracy can be further improved.

図6は、本発明の実施の形態に係る生体電気信号取得システムの他の構成例を示す図である。図6に示す生体電気信号取得システムは、衣服10、生体電気信号取得装置60、衣服10の内側に体表面に接触するように備えられた生体電気信号を受信する電極51および54、および配線61および64、から構成される。ウェアラブル電極は、人体の左胸部41に接触する電極51と、右背中上部44に接触する電極54とを備え、前記電極51が図1に示す領域41に設置され、前記電極54が図1に示す領域44に設置されている。   FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another configuration example of the bioelectric signal acquisition system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The bioelectric signal acquisition system shown in FIG. 6 includes a garment 10, a bioelectric signal acquisition device 60, electrodes 51 and 54 that are provided inside the garment 10 so as to be in contact with the body surface, and wiring 61. And 64. The wearable electrode includes an electrode 51 in contact with the left chest 41 of the human body and an electrode 54 in contact with the upper right back 44. The electrode 51 is installed in the region 41 shown in FIG. 1, and the electrode 54 is shown in FIG. It is installed in the area 44 shown.
