CONSTITUTION:Various information is measured at any time by a sensor circuit 2 according to the command of a controller 1 with sensors 3-8. The activity state of a person to be measured is detected by measured values of a perspiration sensor 6 and an activity quantity sensor 7, and the physical condition of the measured person is detected by measured values of a blood pressure sensor 3, a pulse sensor 4 and a body temperature detecting thermistor 5. Various reference data of the measured person at the stationary time and active time are inputted to a data input section 9 and stored in a memory element section 10. An abnormality judging circuit section 11 compares the measured data with the reference data stored in the memory element section 10 and judges the abnormal state of the measured person. When the measured person is judged to be in the abnormal state, an abnormality reporting circuit section 12 is operated, an alarm such as a buzzer is reported to a manager, and 1 measured data and abnormality judgment result are displayed on a display section 13.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field 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, etc. In particular, it relates to a human body information measuring device that measures blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc., for the purpose of health management, physical condition monitoring, etc. Regarding surveillance equipment.

Related Papers on Conventional Technologies Interest in prevention of adult diseases and health management has become extremely high as the population continues to age. Various human body information devices such as electronic thermometers, electronic blood pressure monitors, and other single-function devices are provided.
Devices that comprehensively evaluate blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature have also been proposed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, Ei Nakataisha Human body information measuring devices such as blood pressure monitors are single-function measuring devices, and considering the time and effort required to attach and detach them, it is not possible to easily measure various types of human body information on a daily basis. This approach was inappropriate from the perspective of measuring multiple human body information. These are generally used by the person wearing the measuring device (
The activity state of the subject (hereinafter referred to as the subject)
For example, the patient's systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate at rest were 110 mmHg and 70 mmHg, respectively. , 6
Even if you stand up, talk, laugh, etc., your systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate will each be 13.
0 mmHg, 90 mmHg, or 75 or more, and even if the body is physically stationary, mental excitement causes the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse to fluctuate greatly.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems.In addition to the conventional measurement of blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature, the state of mental and physical activity is detected, and the management standard values are corrected based on the results to detect abnormalities in the human body. According to the present invention, there is provided a physical condition monitoring device that is capable of defining the state of the patient. It becomes possible to easily analyze the factors caused by the condition, and more accurate health management is possible.Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a physical condition monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. is a controller for control, 2 is a sensor, 3 is a blood pressure sensor, 4 is a pulse sensor, 5 is a thermistor for body temperature detection, 6 is a sweat sensor,
7 is an activity sensor, and 8 is a thermistor for measuring temperature. Each of the sensors 3 to 8 can measure information at any time using the sensor circuit 2 according to instructions from the controller 1. Sweat sensor 6
The activity state of the subject can be detected using the measured values of the activity sensor 7, and the physical condition of the subject can be detected using the measured values of the blood pressure sensor 3, pulse sensor 4, and body temperature thermistor 5. This is an input section, and various standard data (upper ball pulse, body temperature, etc.) of the subject during normal and active times are inputted and stored in the memory element section 10. Reference numeral 11 denotes an abnormality determination circuit section, which can determine the abnormal state of the subject by comparing the measured data with the standard data stored in the memory element section.
2 is activated to issue a buzzer, audio alert, and notify health personnel. Reference numeral 13 denotes a display section, which displays measurement data, abnormality judgment results, etc., and also displays standard data (standard data that serves as a reference). ζ According to the lifestyle pattern of the person to be measured, the activity level is, for example, the physical activity state (1
) when sleeping, (2) when sitting calmly in a chair, (3) when working,
(4) During activities (running, etc.) and regarding mental state (5) Normal clothing (6) By subdividing into excited state and activity level, more accurate abnormality judgments can be made. The above-mentioned activity levels (1) to (4) can be detected by an activity sensor attached to the human body,
Regarding activity levels (5) and (6), f, L can be detected by determining whether sweating is due to heat or emotional stimulation based on the output value of the temperature sensor and the output value of the sweat sensor. The operation will be explained according to FIG.

Number of steps Input standard data for each activity level into the memory element section to create data for comparison 4 Input data include temperature and sweat rate of the person to be measured, relative relationship between excited state and sweating, standard sweating amount at each activity level, Standard blood pressure, standard pulse, and standard body temperature. Measurements are started at a time set by an external start switch or controller. First, the temperature sensor 8, sweat sensor 6, and activity sensor 7 are turned on, and it is determined from the two measured values which activity level the person is at. Next, blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature were each measured several times and the average value was calculated. The calculated data was compared with standard data for the subject's activity level at the time of measurement. Based on the difference, it was determined that the deviation was within a certain range of abnormality. If so, the abnormality alarm circuit 12 will be activated to issue an alarm.
By storing the measurement data in the memory element along with the measurement time, the health condition of the person being measured is created into a database.Furthermore, by adding it to the existing standard data, it can be updated as more accurate standard data. To enumerate, when one's physical activity level is (1) sleeping or (2) calm while sitting in a chair, and one's mental state is (5) normal, either the surface pulse rate or body temperature is high. At this time, if the temperature is high, the body surface temperature of the person being measured will also be high.
Since this also involves sweating, temperature data is also considered as a factor in correcting the output of the body temperature thermistor and the output of the sweat sensor, which is an indicator of mental state. When active or when the mental state is (6) excited, it cannot be determined that there is an abnormality even if the values of blood pressure, pulse, or body temperature are high ■ In this case, the subject's daily activity level It may be necessary to make a comprehensive judgment by comparing with the standard data of L. However, since there are high blood pressure, low blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature values that the human body cannot tolerate at any activity level, from these pathological viewpoints. Naturally, the index of is also considered as a limit value.Next, the form of the device will be explained.The physical condition monitoring device of the present invention can be roughly divided into a sensor section and an information processing section, and the sensor section includes a blood pressure sensor, a blood pressure sensor, and an information processing section. It is composed of a composite sensor that combines a pulse sensor, a body temperature sensor, a perspiration sensor, or an activity sensor, and a sensor circuit section for driving each sensor. It is worn on the body surface or through a thin cloth, and there are no particular restrictions on where it can be worn.However, it is preferable to use a portable wrist-worn type for detecting human body information. In addition, this device does not require that the sensor section worn on the human body and the information processing section be integrated; instead, the measured values measured by the sensor section are sent electronically to the main device using a cord wire or wireless transmission technology. The device may perform abnormality determination processing and abnormality alarm generation processing.I,X.

Effects 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., taking into account the activity, clothing, and mental state of the person being measured. too
