Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a human body information measuring device for measuring blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc. for the purpose of health management, physical condition monitoring, and the like. The present invention relates to a physical condition monitoring device considered.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, interest in adult disease prevention, health care, and the like has become extremely large at present as artificial aging is progressing. Along with this, various types of human body information devices that easily measure blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc. at home and workplaces, such as electronic thermometers and electronic sphygmomanometers, are provided with a single function, and also provide blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature. Devices for comprehensive evaluation have also been proposed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, human body information measuring devices such as a thermometer and a sphygmomanometer are single-function measuring devices, and in view of the labor required for measurement such as attachment and detachment, various types of human body information are easily and routinely measured. From the viewpoint of this, it was inappropriate. For this reason, there have been proposed some devices capable of measuring a plurality of pieces of human body information or those incorporating a human body information measuring device in everyday wearable articles. , The subject's activity state (during exercise, sleeping, etc.) cannot be defined, so that health management based on the obtained human body information is difficult, and there is a problem in terms of daily health management. For example, the systolic blood pressure of the subject at rest, the diastolic blood pressure, the pulse is 110mmHg, 70mmHg, 60, respectively,
The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse can be easily increased to 130 mmHg, 90 mmHg, and 75 or more, respectively, by standing up, working, talking, laughing, etc. High blood pressure, low blood pressure,
The pulse fluctuates greatly.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention relates to a physiological information detection sensor for detecting human body physiological information to be determined as a human body, a temperature sensor for measuring air temperature, a sweat sensor for detecting sweating of the human body, and a human body activity. An activity amount sensor for detecting an amount, storage means for storing standard data of human body physiological information to be determined for the normal state of each person, and correcting the output of the perspiration sensor at least with the output of the temperature sensor; Based on the correction result and the output of the activity sensor, the standard data stored in the storage unit is corrected, and the correction result is compared with the output of the physiological information detection sensor to determine abnormality. It is a physical condition monitoring device characterized by comprising:

Effect According to the present invention, it is possible to easily analyze the fluctuation of the measured values of the detected blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and the like based on the physical condition abnormality or the factor due to the mental and physical activity state of the subject. , More accurate health management.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a body temperature monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 1 is a controller for control, 2 is a sensor circuit, 3 is a blood pressure sensor, 4 is a pulse sensor, and 5 is a pulse sensor. Is a thermistor for detecting body temperature, 6 is a perspiration sensor, 7 is an activity sensor, and 8 is a thermistor for measuring temperature. Each of the sensors 3 to 8 is connected to a sensor circuit 2 according to an instruction from the controller 1.
, Each information can be measured at any time. The mental state and the activity state of the subject can be detected by the measured values of the sweat sensor 6 and the activity sensor 7, and the physical condition of the subject is detected by the measured values of the blood pressure sensor 3, the pulse sensor 4, and the body temperature thermistor 5. it can. Reference numeral 9 denotes a data input unit, which inputs various standard data (blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc.) of the subject under normal and active conditions and is stored in the storage element unit 10. Reference numeral 11 denotes an abnormality determination circuit which compares the measurement data with the standard data stored in the storage element to determine an abnormal state of the subject. If it is determined that the state is abnormal, the abnormality notification circuit unit 12
Activates a buzzer, an audio alert, and a notification to the health care manager. Reference numeral 13 denotes a display unit that displays measurement data, an abnormality determination result, and the like.

The standard data may be created using measurement data in addition to the method of inputting from outside as described above. The standard data serving as a reference is, for example, a physical activity state as an activity level according to the life pattern of the subject (1).
When sleeping, (2) when sitting in a chair, (3) when working,
(4) For each activity (running etc.) and for mental state, (5) normal state, (6) excitement state and activity level can be subdivided to enable more accurate abnormality judgment. is there. The above activity levels (1) to (4) can be detected by an activity amount sensor worn on the human body, and the activity levels (5) and (6) can be detected by the output values of the temperature sensor and the sweat sensor. Thus, it can be detected by determining whether the sweating is caused by the heat or the emotional stimulation.

Hereinafter, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. In advance,
The standard data of each activity level is input to the storage element unit, and data for comparison is created. The input data includes the temperature and the sweating characteristics of the subject, the relative relationship between the excitement state and the sweating, the standard sweating amount, the standard blood pressure, the standard pulse, and the standard body temperature at each activity level. The measurement is started at a time set by an external start switch or a controller. First, the temperature sensor 8, the perspiration sensor 6, and the activity sensor 7 are turned on, and it is determined which activity level the subject is in from two measured values. Next, the blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature are each measured several times, the average value is calculated, and the calculated data is compared with the standard data at the activity level at the time of measurement of the subject, and the difference is used to determine a certain range of abnormalities. If it is determined that there is a deviation, the abnormality alarm circuit 12 is activated to issue an alarm and inform. Further, the measurement data is stored in the storage element section together with the measurement time, so that the health condition of the subject is stored in a database. Furthermore, by adding to the conventional standard data, it is updated as more accurate standard data.

To cite a few examples, if the physical activity level is (1) sleeping or (2) a calm state while sitting in a chair and the mental state is (5) a normal state, blood pressure, pulse,
Or, when any of the values of the body temperature is high, it is determined to be abnormal. At this time, when the temperature is high, the body surface temperature of the subject becomes high, and the subject also has a sweating action. Correct the output of the sensor. When the physical activity level is (3) work or (4) activity, or the mental state is (6) excitement, it is determined that the blood pressure, pulse, or body temperature is abnormal even if the value is high. Can not. In this case, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment by comparing with the standard data of each activity level of the subject. However, no matter what activity level is determined, there are unacceptable high blood pressure, low blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, so these pathological indices are naturally considered as limit values. I do.

Next, the configuration of the device will be described. The physical condition monitoring device of the present invention can be roughly divided into a sensor unit and an information processing unit.The sensor unit includes a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor, a body temperature sensor, and a combined sensor in which a sweat sensor or an activity sensor is combined, and each sensor. It is composed of a sensor circuit for driving. The sensor unit and the information processing unit are compactly integrated and mounted via the body surface of the person to be measured or a thin cloth, and the mounting site is not particularly limited. However, it is preferable to use a portable wrist-mounted type in order to detect human body information. In addition, this device does not require the sensor unit to be worn on the human body and the information processing unit to be integrated, and transmits the measurement values measured by the sensor unit to the main unit using a code line or wireless transmission technology, and Abnormality determination processing and abnormality alarm generation processing may be performed.

Effect of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention enables a realistic health monitoring device by evaluating blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc. in consideration of the activity state and mental state of the subject. Is what you do.
