Abstract
Description
More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring a toilet and a living body signal, and more particularly, to provide a sensor for a child or a patient so that measures can be taken by allowing the guardian of the remote place to immediately notify the guardian of the remote place when the toilet is confirmed or the bio- And a living body and a living body signal monitoring apparatus.
In the case of infants or patients with inadequate mobility or elderly persons (hereinafter referred to as "subjects"), diapers are often worn and used to be disposed of. However, when the subject is unable to express his / her wishes in a short period of time, the subject can not immediately check his / her use of the toilet. Therefore, it is often left untreated for a long time.
In order to solve this problem, a device has been developed for attaching a sensor to a diaper and informing the user of the condition of the toilet by sound or light when the toilet is used. However, since the conventional toilet alarm device is manufactured in an integrated form of the sensor and the main body, it is difficult to monitor the person who views the toilet several times a day. That is, there is a problem that the sensor and the main body can not be used during the drying time.
In addition, infants or patients are often in need of immediate treatment due to deterioration in health. As the caregiver can not always stay with the subject, the condition may continue to deteriorate and miss treatment.
On the other hand, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0039625 is known as a conventional technique for indicating whether or not a toilet is used.
The present invention has been conceived to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sensor capable of detachably attaching the sensor to the main body, The present invention also provides a monitoring device for a living body and a living body which can improve the method of monitoring a living body using a living body,
The present invention also provides an indicator for verifying the health condition such as body temperature, pulse, and oxygen saturation as well as the presence or absence of urine, so as to be able to immediately take measures when the condition of the infant or the patient becomes worse There is another purpose.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for monitoring a subject and a living body signal, comprising: a sensor unit for acquiring temperature and humidity information, A wearable alarm unit for wirelessly outputting temperature information acquired by the sensor unit, checking whether the temperature information is available through the humidity information, and outputting a useable signal; And a remote alarm unit for receiving and outputting the temperature information remotely from the wearable alarm unit and for receiving the used generation signal to generate an alarm, wherein the wearable alarm unit is configured to receive the humidity information Can be verified through the differential value of.
The wearable alarm unit may further include a pulse oximeter for acquiring pulsation and oxygen saturation information, which is worn on the subject, wherein the wearable alarm unit confirms whether or not the biological signal is normal through pulse and oxygen saturation information acquired by the pulse oximeter A warning signal can be output in case of abnormality.
The sensor unit is detachable from the wearable alarm unit through a connector.
The present invention has the following effects.
First, the sensor unit and the wearable alarm unit are worn on the diaper of the subject who is uncomfortable and unable to communicate, such as infants, patients, elderly people, etc. When the toilet is opened, it is notified by sound or light, As soon as notice is given, follow-up measures such as changing diapers are made immediately so that the subject can always maintain a pleasant condition.
In particular, since the sensor unit and the wearable alarm unit are not integrated, the sensor unit can be replaced by a detachable type, so that the sensor unit can be used while cleaning and drying the sensor unit after use, The problem is improved.
Further, when a certain level of humidity is generated, the state of use is judged not by the method of judging the state of use, but by the amount of humidity change, that is, by the differential value of humidity. For example, if the sensor unit is already contaminated to a certain level, it can not be determined whether or not the toilet has occurred since the humidity is already measured to be high. However, since the present invention utilizes not only the humidity information itself but also the differentiated information, it is judged that the toilet is judged to be in the useable state when the actual useable portion is generated even if the sensor portion is in a contaminated state and the amount of change in humidity is high.
In addition, information on body temperature, pulse, and oxygen saturation is transmitted to a remote placeholder in real time in addition to the use of the toilet. Immediate treatment can be possible by giving a warning when the health signal is out of a predetermined range.
In addition, information on the hours of use, body temperature, pulse, and oxygen saturation information is stored in the remote alarm unit of the caregiver and is linked with the PC, so that the systematic health state management of the subject is possible.

Pulse oximeter (pulse oximeter) 20 is a device for measuring pulse and oxygen saturation of a subject in a non-invasive manner. It is normally used by putting it on fingers, toes and earlobe, but in Figure 1 (b) FIG.
The percentage of hemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen in total hemoglobin is called oxygen saturation. SaO2, SvO2, SpO2, SpaO2, etc. are indicated according to the measurement method and site. The oxygen saturation measured by the
The pulse oximetry (20) utilizes the fact that blood absorbs light of a specific wavelength, unlike when oxygen is lacking, when oxygen is contained. Generally, light of different wavelengths of 660 nm and 940 nm is emitted from one side of skin And the light transmitted through the opposite side is received to measure oxygen saturation. The pulsation and oxygen saturation information measured by the
