Description

The method of medical monitoring of the health of a vehicle driver belongs to the field of medicine and is intended to improve road safety. Currently, hundreds of thousands of accidents occur annually in the world, in which the percentage of deaths reaches 13% per 100,000 inhabitants (statistika-dtp = rossii-iv ...). One of the main causes of road accidents is the driver's health. The currently existing legal and regulatory documents governing the procedure for admission to driving a motor vehicle provide for the driver to pass a one-act medical commission immediately before the flight, or for a long period from one to ten years. The main disadvantage of such an organization, in addition to the possible corruption component of medical institutions, is the inability to track the changing state of the driver's health and his fatigue in real time. The aim of the present invention is to completely eliminate the listed disadvantages. Its solution is based on the use of nanosecond radio electronics (econet.ru Remote health monitoring).

The method of medical monitoring of the health status of a vehicle driver is an automated system based on the use of nanosecond radio electronics in cardiology devices, indicators of a thermal imaging recorder, a pulse oximeter built into the steering wheel of a car, which, without burdening the driver's actions, are transmitted in real time to the monitoring services database. via the Internet, information about his health status and reaction on the way to traffic signals, duplicated on the car dashboard. From the prior art sources WO 2009043650 A1, WO 2014027933 A1 are known, each of which discloses a method for preventing an accident by comparing the behavior of any (impersonal) driver, with more important signals from his health indicators and a vehicle control module, with further automatic start of measures to minimize risks and necessary rescue measures in the event of a sudden deterioration in the driver's health. A common disadvantage of these inventions is the inability to take into account the individual characteristics of the driver's health and behavior in critical situations. The proposed systems for preventing road accidents react only to an urgent deterioration in the driver's health and do not react to the dynamics of his approaching critical health state in the future (neboleet.net 5 signs of an approaching heart attack). The main difference of the present invention from the known ones is the collection of information about the health status of a personal driver while driving and the formation of a database of his medical history with the subsequent planning of preventive treatment. The driver's health database can be used as a technical tool to identify him and prevent theft of a car by intruders. The prototype of the invention is the "Guard" system, developed in the Ministry of Health in stationary conditions (biovector. RF. Remote contactless monitoring of a person's physical condition. "Guard" system). Currently, it has been possible to create a small-sized radar capable of detecting the movements of the muscles of the heart and chest, providing complete diagnostic data. The block diagram and information exchange of the automobile version of the Sentinel system are presented in Fig. 1. The "STRAZH" automobile system includes "Driver" subscriber terminals (7), the Internet (5), a car computer (3), personal computers of subscribers (6). Terminal "Driver" (7) provides receipt and display on a computer monitor (3) of all information about the work of the heart and lungs, as well as transmission of the received data to the Internet. A personal computer (6) allows receiving data via the Internet in geographically remote areas from the terminal " Driver's points. To monitor the physical condition of the driver, the "Driver" terminal includes: a mini-radar RES (1) for emitting and receiving radar signals, and primary processing (filtering noise and receiving a useful signal); standard limited-range wireless communication channel such as Bluetooth (2); Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi); Transfer Jet; car computer (3) for secondary data processing, displaying information (at the request of the driver) and transmitting data to the Internet. This information can be accessed by subscribers with the appropriate access codes. The data of the individual terminal "Driver" can be transmitted via the Internet to an individual subscriber (the driver's home computer), to the workplaces of any medical institutions (the driver's attending physician), to the corresponding workplaces of institutions (rescue service 112), etc. At the present stage, the "Guardian" system "... allows you to objectively assess the most important parameters of the heart, ..., quickly solve the problems of analyzing the state of human health ..." GUARD "other medical devices can also be used that do not burden the driver, but significantly expand the number of indicators of his health status. Blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation of the driver is monitored by a pulse oximeter (8) device built into the steering wheel of a car (sosudinfo.ru Pulse counting and oxygen saturation: normal body temperature is measured by a thermal imaging recorder (9) .Currently, there are many modifications of small-sized and low-power thermal imagers capable of determining the driver's temperature in the car cabin with an accuracy of 0.3 degrees and transmitting them to the Guardian system. tadii subtle changes in health that can lead to big problems if not responded to in time.

The claimed invention is illustrated by drawings, where FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an automobile version of the "STRAZH" system.

The positions in the figures are indicated:

1 - RES radar;

2 - Bluetooth (Bluetooth);

3 - car computer;

4 - movement of the heart and chest;

5 - internet;

6 - personal computer of the subscriber;

7 - terminal "Driver";

8 - pulse oximeter;

9 - thermal imaging recorder.

A distinctive feature of the present invention is the duplication of the traffic light signaling along the path of the vehicle on its dashboard in the driver's cab. Signal transmission from traffic lights is carried out via a wireless communication channel of limited range (10 ... 20 meters) such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth). From the prior art, the source US 2006097855 A1 on May 11, 2006 is known, which determines the light signaling of a traffic light along the route to determine the driver's reaction and assess his actions, and also duplicates it on the panel screen. In the proposed invention, in contrast to the known, any reasons that prompted the driver to drive through a red light of a traffic light are a prerequisite for an accident, are entered into the database of the regulatory authorities on a cumulative basis for further analysis and decision-making on a specific driver. The driver's reaction to traffic light signals transmitted to the database of the regulatory authorities together with the indicators of his health state recorded by the "Guard" automobile system, a thermal imager and a pulse oximeter, constitute a full-fledged characteristic of his compliance with driving standards in real time. The proposed method allows the regulatory authorities, on the basis of medical indicators of the "Guard" system, to attract a specific driver to undergo an additional examination in a stationary medical institution to clarify the compliance of his health with the standards of driving. An advantage of the present invention is the assessment of the actions and state of health of the driver himself, and not the assessment of the movement of the vehicle, which is currently carried out by security cameras using the license plate of the vehicle.
