Description

The utility model relates to the field of medicine, in particular to devices for monitoring human health. The utility model can be used to assess, control and monitor human health.

Currently, the direction of telemonitoring is developing rapidly, allowing you to consult a doctor at a distance, make diagnoses, and monitor patients' condition. The first data on medical projects for assessing the possibilities of remote transmission of blood pressure telemonitoring (AH) data were published in 1996. In Japan and some European countries, they have already been created and are functioning, and telemetry centers are being created in Russia that allow for regular exchange of information between the patient and the doctor without increasing the number of visits to the hospital. An important development of this direction is the expansion of the functionality of methods of devices for monitoring human health.

So devices, devices, systems are created that allow to determine various physiological parameters of a person, for example, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, heart rhythms and more. These parameters become available to the patient and / or transferred to a medical institution, which allows timely diagnosis of physiological abnormalities and a diagnosis. Moreover, not only the number of determined physiological parameters is of great importance, but also the degree of validation of this set to determine the true condition of the patient.

So, for example, a device is known - a hardware-software complex for functional diagnostics of patients, which contains a measuring part and an electronic signal processing unit connected to it, characterized in that the electronic signal processing unit is made in the form of a personal computer equipped with a wireless interface of a personal computer, and the measuring the part is made in the form of a group of devices consisting of right and left spectrophotometric analyzers, right and left pulse oximeters, right and left skin temperature meters and a respiratory rate meter, as well as a data acquisition controller equipped with a wireless interface for the data collection controller, the inputs and outputs of the instrument group being connected to the corresponding input / output group of the data acquisition controller, which is connected to the wireless interface via the wireless interface of the data acquisition controller personal (patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 114409, IPC A61B 5/00). However, this device determines a limited set of physiological parameters and has limited functionality for data management, data aggregation, data verification, and connectivity options for external equipment.

A medical telemetric monitoring system is also known, including instruments for measuring physiological parameters of a patient’s condition, a transceiver for measuring data via GPRS channels, and a data collection server, characterized in that the transceiver is configured to automatically receive and transmit digital data files to the server upon delivery and removing power from the devices, buffering data in the event of a disconnection and automatic retransmission of data until confirmation of their value server (patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 110946, IPC A61B 5/00). The disadvantages of this system are also a limited set of determined physiological parameters and limited functionality for data management, data aggregation, data verification, and external equipment connection options.

In terms of the essential features, the closest technical solution to the claimed utility model (prototype) is a patient’s body parameters meter, consisting of an air cuff, a systolic blood pressure measurement unit, a diastolic blood pressure measurement unit, a pulse measurement unit, an arrhythmia indicator, an air compressor, timer of time and date of measurement, power supply, control and display unit, characterized in that it is supplemented by a unit for measuring atmospheric pressure, a unit for measuring the temperature of the patient’s body, a printing unit, two inputs for measuring the patient’s height and weight, as well as a matching unit with the said control and indication unit (patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 114829, IPC A61B 5/00).

Despite a fairly wide range of defined parameters of the patient’s body, the functionality of this device is very limited. Firstly, there is no definition of ECG parameters (instead of it, only determination of arrhythmia), and secondly, there is no possibility of connecting external devices to determine physiological parameters. In addition, the device lacks the ability to aggregate data, verify data, as well as individualize and verify the user.

The solved problem of the claimed utility model is the elimination of these shortcomings, namely the achievement of a technical result with respect to expanding the set of defined and controlled physiological parameters, as well as expanding the capabilities of data management and control.

In addition, the solved problem of the claimed utility model is to expand the arsenal of technical means of a device for monitoring human health.

Achieving the above technical result provides the implementation of the purpose of the utility model and improving the technical and functional characteristics of the device, eliminating the disadvantages of the above devices - analogues and prototype.

The achievement of the indicated technical result in the claimed utility model is achieved by including a power supply unit, a smart card reader module, a user verification module, a control controller module, a GSM / GPRS module, a diagnostic results aggregation module, a data visualization module, a hemodynamic research module, a module electrocardiography (ECG), pulse oximeter module, universal switching device module, while the diagnostic results aggregation module is connected to research modules anija hemodynamics universal switching device, heart rate, ECG, smart card reader unit connected to the user verification module, and a control module coupled to the controller module aggregation of diagnostic results, user verification, data visualization, GSM / GPRS.

The essential features or modules listed above that make up the claimed utility model are structural elements of the device and each of them performs a specific functional task, the description of which is given below.

Hemodynamics Study Module

The non-invasive central hemodynamics study module is intended for automated research of blood pressure levels, heart rate energy, artery wall elasticity and precapillary bed patency using volumetric compression oscillometry. Measurements are taken through a conventional pneumatic cuff and are fully automated. The duration of one measurement does not exceed one minute.

For one measurement, the device determines 20 indicators of the circulatory system, including 6 types of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, lateral, average dynamic, pulse, shock), pulse BP, pulse rate, cardiac output, cardiac index, stroke volume, stroke index , linear blood flow velocity, pulse wave velocity, vascular compliance, total and specific peripheral vascular resistance, volumetric ejection rate, left ventricular contraction power, energy consumption for promotion 1 l of cardiac output.

When the device is used autonomously, all main indicators are displayed on the MDU display, their assessment in comparison with standard, individually acceptable or threshold values and an oscillogram for visual monitoring of measurement quality. In this mode, the built-in program allows you to save, delete, average data and transfer them via an interface cable, via USB flash memory or using wireless data transfer technology.

The module uses the method of volumetric compression oscillometry. The compressor pumps air into the pneumatic system, which causes a gradual increase in cuff pressure. At the same time, when the cuff is compressed, the pressure sensor detects fluctuations in the brachial artery in the form of oscillations.

The main advantages of the method are, on the one hand, its high diagnostic information content, and, on the other hand, the simplicity and efficiency of determining indicators of both peripheral and central hemodynamics. This combination of the main advantages of the method makes it accessible to the general population, especially for patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system. The indicators obtained with its help make it possible to determine not only blood pressure levels, but also the mechanism of hypotension / hypertension and answer the fundamental question of cardiovascular physiology: how does the average dynamic blood pressure in humans correlate with minute volume of blood circulation and total peripheral vascular resistance.
