Description

1313593 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種心電訊號收集裝置,特別是關於一種 微型無線(wireless)心電訊號收集裝置。 【先前技術】 圖1係例示一心跳之心電圖(electrocardiogram ; ECG)訊 號’一般而言將其最尖端的波段稱為QRS波,其中首先向 上偏折的點為Q點,在頂端為R點,而最後於底端處稱為S 點。於QRS辨認程序中首先以尖峰檢測程序將心電訊號中 的QRS波找出,且從每個QRS波中測量其高度(amplitude) 和持續時間(duration)等參數,並將各參數之平均值和標準 差算出,用以作為標準模版。接下來每個QRS波都以此模 版進行比對。 心率變異性(heart rate variability ; HRV)分析是從心跳週 期數列分析心臟生理功能的方法,標準的分析程序已在 1996由歐美心臟學會所定義(Task F〇rce 〇f the Eur〇pean Society of Cardiology and the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology,1996),之後經過一些修改 (Kuo et al.,1999),大致原理如下: 1.首先取得心跳週期的資訊,大部份的作法是從心電圖的 R波定義每一心跳的發生,而每一 R波與後一個R波的時 間差就是一個心跳週期RR。 2_如果連續的RR數列中有大幅度的變動’譬如超過三個標 準差,可能是心率不整或是雜訊。若是前者,應立即提 105311發明專利說明書.d〇c 1313593 出警訊,因受測者的生命可能受到威脅;若是後者,應 改良測量分析的技術以克服之。 3 ·如果連續的RR數列中沒有大幅的變動,則這些RR數列 可進行更細緻的數值分析,包括頻譜分析(Kuo et al., 1999)與非線性分析(Kuo & Yang, 2002)等。 藉由頻譜分析的協助,研究人員發現心率變異度中微 小的波動可明確的分為兩群,一般稱為高頻 (high-frequency ; HF)和低頻(low-frequency ; LF)成份。高頻成 分和動物的吟吸訊號同步,所以又可稱為呼吸成份,其 於人體約3秒一次。低頻成分則來源不明,推測可能和 血管運動或感壓反射有關,其於人體約10秒一次。部份 學者更進一步將該低頻成分細分為極低頻(very low frequency,VLF)和低頻成份。目前已有許多生理學家與心 臟科醫師同意心率的高頻成分或總變異度(total power ; TP) 能代表副交感神經功能,而低頻成份和高頻成份之比值 (LF/HF)能反應交感神經的活性。從RR週期的頻譜中,吾 人可以得到許多心臟神經調節的資訊,對許多疾病的診斷 與養生保健都很有幫助。因此HRV分析被許多學者視為非 常有潛力的診斷技術,目前已證實在加護病房的生死預測 (Yien et al_,1997)、心肌梗塞的追蹤治療及糖尿病自主神經 病變的篩檢上有明確的應用價值(Task Force of the139. The invention relates to an electrocardiographic signal collecting device, and more particularly to a miniature electrocardiographic signal collecting device. [Prior Art] FIG. 1 illustrates an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of a heartbeat. Generally speaking, the most advanced band is called a QRS wave, wherein the point of the first upward deflection is the Q point, and the top point is the R point. Finally, it is called the S point at the bottom. In the QRS identification process, the QRS wave in the ECG signal is first found by the spike detection program, and the parameters such as altitude and duration are measured from each QRS wave, and the average of each parameter is obtained. And standard deviation calculation, used as a standard template. Each QRS wave is then compared against this template. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a method for analyzing cardiac physiological functions from a series of heartbeat cycles. The standard analytical procedure was defined in 1996 by the European Society of Cardiology (Task F〇rce 〇f the Eur〇pean Society of Cardiology). And the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology, 1996), after some modifications (Kuo et al., 1999), the general principles are as follows: 1. First get the information of the heartbeat cycle, most of the practice is from the R wave of the ECG Define the occurrence of each heartbeat, and the time difference between each R wave and the next R wave is a heartbeat period RR. 2_ If there is a large change in the continuous RR series, such as more than three standard deviations, it may be heart rate irregularities or noise. In the case of the former, the 105311 invention patent specification should be immediately filed. d〇c 1313593 A warning is issued, because the life of the subject may be threatened; if the latter, the technique of measurement analysis should be improved to overcome it. 3 • If there are no large changes in the continuous RR series, these RR series can perform more detailed numerical analysis, including spectrum analysis (Kuo et al., 1999) and nonlinear analysis (Kuo & Yang, 2002). With the help of spectrum analysis, the researchers found that small fluctuations in heart rate variability can be clearly divided into two groups, commonly referred to as high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) components. The high frequency component is synchronized with the animal's sucking signal, so it can also be called a breathing component, which is about 3 seconds in the human body. The source of the low-frequency component is unknown, and it is speculated that it may be related to vascular motion or pressure-sensitive reflex, which is about 10 seconds in the human body. Some scholars further subdivide the low frequency components into very low frequency (VLF) and low frequency components. Many physiologists and cardiologists have agreed that the high frequency component or total variability (total power; TP) of the heart rate can represent parasympathetic function, while the ratio of low frequency component to high frequency component (LF/HF) can reflect sympathetic Nerve activity. From the spectrum of the RR cycle, we can get a lot of information about cardiac neuromodulation, which is helpful for the diagnosis and health care of many diseases. Therefore, HRV analysis is regarded by many scholars as a very promising diagnostic technique, and it has been confirmed that there is a clear application in the life and death prediction of the intensive care unit (Yien et al_, 1997), the follow-up treatment of myocardial infarction, and the screening of diabetic autonomic neuropathy.

It is not only time-consuming but also causes the subject to be tested. The inconvenience and dissatisfaction. Compared with the (four) method, only the electrocardiogram of one channel is connected, but it is still inconvenient to connect two or three wires to the subject, and the subject is free to move. Come, with the advancement of technology, people have developed smaller electrocardiographs. These so-called "ambulatory" electrocardiographs are about the size of palms, and some can store continuous ECG signals in internal memory. Some of them (including magnetic media) can even transmit the heart and electric signals to distant receivers by radio waves or infrared rays, so that the outside world can know immediately The physical condition of these subjects, these techniques, the application of HRV is more convenient and flexible. The size of these instruments is still too large. The weight is too heavy, especially the way of wiring is too complicated for untrained people. These wires Although it is already short, it still causes some inconvenience to the users. Therefore, these "push-type" electrocardiographs are basically medical devices. 'Requires expert advice to properly wear them. It is still not free for ordinary people to use. Consumable electronic products. If you want to promote HRV technology to every family and individual, you must overcome the inconveniences of various types of current or portable electric devices. Miniaturization and thorough wirelessization will be inevitable.

The micro-wireless ECG signal collecting device operates including an electrode and an amplifier module. A microcontroller (micr〇controller), a radio module and a power supply. The electrode is a bipolar differential design having a positive electrode and a negative electrode for collecting the electrocardiogram of the subject. The amplifier module receives the bipolar input signal from the positive electrode and the negative electrode and then filters the noise through an input stage filter to increase the signal t〇noise ratio, and then passes through a differential amplifier. Performing differential amplification 'generates an amplified ECG signal. The amplified ECG signal then rejects the analog signal of the analog controller by more than twice the frequency via an output stage filter to facilitate analog digital sampling of the microcontroller. The analog digital conversion unit of the microcontroller analogizes the amplified ECG signal generated by the amplifier module to digital conversion with appropriate voltage resolution and sampling rate, and then performs data compression by a micro processing unit to generate a digital position. ECG signal. The radio module receives the digital ECG signal generated by the microcontroller, and is modulated into a modulated ECG signal by a modulation/demodulation transformer (m〇dulat〇r/de modulator), and the modulated ECG signal is modulated. A wireless transceiver transmits to the remote end with a wireless ECG signal. At the same time, the radio module can also receive wireless signals from the far end by the wireless transceiver. With the advancement of semiconductor technology, the micro-wireless ECG signal collecting device of the present invention has the potential to further reduce the size, and can be used for electrodes, amplifier modules, patent specifications, doc 1313593 microcontroller, radio module and power supply.

The input terminal of the radio module 2〇4 and the microcontroller 203 is a serial or side-by-side digital channel. The digital electrocardiogram generated by the microcontroller 2〇3 is received and modulated by the modulation/demodulation transformer 2〇4b into a modulated ECG signal with a carrier of 2.4 GHz. The modulated ECG signal is transmitted to the remote end via the wireless transceiver 204a by a wireless ECG signal; and the wireless transceiver 204a can also receive the wireless signal from the remote end, and then the solution is decoded by the modulation/demodulation transformer 204b.
