Description

Heart rate measurement device using optical pulse wave

Recently, apnea during sleep due to atherosclerosis, hypertension, and sudden death due to stroke due to high protein and high fat food intake accumulate more frequently than in the past. Accordingly, the necessity of a device for continuously monitoring the health condition in daily life is increasing, and according to the development of the electronic medical device industry, devices for monitoring the health in daily life are continuously appearing one after another.

Biosignal measurement techniques for diagnosing abnormalities in the circulatory system can be classified into invasive and non-invasive methods. Invasive methods are to penetrate the skin, or insert measurement sensors and probes such as the esophagus, airways, urethra, and blood vessels to measure signals to be measured. These methods are inconvenient to the subject by inserting several probes into the human body of the subject. On the other hand, non-invasive method is a method that can minimize the discomfort and pain of the patient to measure by using a sensor instead of the probe to the human body such as electrodes, sensors, ultrasound. Through the development of non-invasive methods, the development of measurement technology, signal processing technology, wired / wireless communication, and multimedia technology, as well as the development of health-related bio signals only in a limited area, such as a hospital, are available in areas where there are no medical personnel such as doctors and nurses. Several methods are being introduced to enable continuous medical instrumentation through measurement, transmission and storage in space.

The waveform of the general light volume pulse wave generated by the heartbeat is divided into the DC component caused by skin, bone, tissue, venous and non-pulsated arterial blood, and the AC component changed by the pulsation of arterial blood, where the blood flow of blood vessels in the tissue Since the volume change is the same as the heart rate change, the heartbeat can be detected by extracting the AC signal caused by the pulsation of arterial blood. Non-invasive methods for detecting heart rhythm by extracting AC signals caused by pulsation of arterial blood include optical detection methods, electrical detection methods, and mechanical detection methods.

The electrical detection method is to measure the heart rate by attaching an electrode on the skin to measure the change in tissue electrical impedance or admittance. The heart rate measurement using the electrical detection method is performed for ischemic heart disease such as arrhythmias, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and atrium. Diagnosis of hypertrophy and enlargement of the ventricles is possible, but due to the nature of the device, it is inconvenient to constantly measure the heartbeat of an individual.

The mechanical pulsation method detects heart pulsation through pressure transducers such as piezoelectric elements, rossel salt application sensors, and semiconductor pressure sensors. Since the mounting position is limited to a specific part of the body (wrist, chest, etc.), there are disadvantages in that it is difficult to use variously. In addition, there is a disadvantage in that a constant sensor position must be corrected during an active exercise.

On the other hand, the optical detection method is a method that detects light having good correlation with hemoglobin in blood by irradiating arterial blood close to the skin, which is simple and convenient in structure but difficult to distinguish from dynamic noise generated during exercise or movement. There is this.

One of the non-invasiv methods for measuring heart rate is the method of measuring heart rate using optical volume pulse waves to limit the errors that can occur by estimating blood pressure as a single component of the extension of the vessel wall. It is possible to measure blood pressure more precisely by defining the blood pressure according to the signal, and studies on blood pressure estimation using only volume pulse using the reflected wave arrival time (ΔTDVP) without acquiring an ECG signal It's going on.

The controller 105 stores information about an exercise type (walking, jogging, biking, skiing, etc.) in advance and allows a user to select and use an exercise type previously stored in the heart rate measuring apparatus 100. When the user selects a pre-stored exercise type from the mobile device 125 linked with the heart rate measuring apparatus 100 and transmits the pre-stored exercise type to the control unit 105, the control unit 105 uses the signal input unit 200 according to the exercise type selected by the user. Of the light sources 210, 215, and 220 of the light source 210, 215, and 220. Minimize the effects of copper noise. In addition, the control unit 105 prepares for use by searching in advance for the movement noise data for each exercise type previously stored in the movement noise DB 120 according to the exercise type selected by the user.

The signal input unit 200 receives the optical volume pulse wave and transmits the optical volume pulse wave to the comparator 110, and the comparator 110 receiving the optical volume pulse wave from the signal input part 105 performs band pass filtering on the optical volume pulse wave. BPF) and then determine whether the optical volume pulse wave is a general heartbeat signal with no noise or whether it contains dynamic noise but whether it is a recognizable signal and whether it is a mixed signal that includes dynamic noise. The optical volume pulse wave is transmitted to the control unit 105 when there is no general heartbeat signal or dynamic noise included but recognizable signal. If the optical volume pulse wave is a mixed signal that is difficult to recognize because it contains a dynamic noise, the dynamic noise DB 120 recognizes by removing the dynamic noise signal from the mixed signal that is difficult to recognize in comparison with the previously stored dynamic noise samples for each motion type. This possible volumetric pulse wave signal is converted and transmitted to the control unit 105. The control unit 105 that receives the optical volume pulse wave signal from the comparator 110 stores the received optical volume pulse wave signal in the storage and transmission unit 115 or uses a wired / wireless communication method.

An exercise type such as walking does not include much noise in the light volume pulse wave compared to an exercise type having a lot of movement such as jogging or skiing. In addition, wearing the heart rate measuring device 100 on the ear or forehead portion is significantly less affected by the noise than wearing on the wrist or ankle. If the movement type or the heart rate monitor wearing position is not much movement as described above, the controller 105 uses the quantity of the light sources 210, 215, 220 as the minimum quantity and the movement is performed. In the case where many types of exercise or the position of wearing the heart rate monitor are affected by a lot of dynamic noise, the light sources are set by the type of exercise type and the wearing position of the heart rate monitor 100 which are preset to use the light sources 210, 215, and 220. The use of 210, 215, and 220 is controlled by the controller 105. The light receiving unit 225 receives a reflection signal (light volume pulse wave) of red light or near infrared light irradiated to arterial blood near the skin from a light source and transmits it to the comparator 110.

The received control unit completes the exercise preparation by supplying power to the light sources to be used among the light sources of the signal input unit (305). The heart rate measuring device measures the optical volume pulse wave at a predetermined period (310). It is determined whether the volumetric pulse wave is a general heartbeat signal without dynamic noise or a mixed signal containing dynamic noise but recognizable signal and whether the volumetric pulse wave includes dynamic noise (315). If the normal heartbeat signal is missing or if the noise is included but the signal is recognizable, the measured optical volume pulse wave is stored and (325) If the measured optical volume pulse wave is a mixed signal that is difficult to recognize due to dynamic noise, the pre-stored dynamic noise in the dynamic noise DB is stored.
