Smart antipyretic stickers

The invention belongs to a medical auxiliary product, in particular to an antipyretic sticker capable of remotely monitoring body temperature.

When children grow up, they are always accompanied by diseases such as cough, influenza or pneumonia, which can cause fever. The fever is mostly a sign of inflammation or infection inside the body. The body passes through the body temperature regulation center of the hypothalamus. Increase the original body temperature setting to enhance the ability of immune cells to kill viruses or bacteria. Because the immune system of infants and young children is still in the stage of development, it is more susceptible to external infection sources, and there is often no fever. The warning occurred and the parents panicked.

Because the time of fever in infants and young children is not a fixed time, it is difficult to grasp the time of fever with changes in physical fitness and environment. Parents have to observe the condition by continuously measuring body temperature to achieve timely monitoring and monitoring. The purpose of early treatment, however, frequent measurement causes parents to not get adequate rest, especially at night, often causing the caregiver to be physically unbearable.

For the treatment of fever, in addition to the application and taking of drugs, it is often used together with antipyretic stickers as a medical aid to reduce body temperature, so that the patient's condition is slowed down and the discomfort is reduced. However, the current antipyretic paste only has heat dissipation effect. It is not possible to record and monitor changes in body temperature during the heat dissipation process.

Therefore, designing a smart anti-heat sticker with temperature monitoring allows the caregiver to care for the patient more efficiently and get more rest time.

The main object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent antipyretic paste, which not only has the heat dissipating function of the traditional antipyretic patch, but also can remotely monitor the change of the patient's body temperature, so that the caregiver can make an immediate treatment as soon as possible.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an intelligent antipyretic patch, comprising: an anti-heating module having an adhesive layer, a condensation layer and at least one temperature sensor disposed at intervals on the surface of the adhesive layer; a signal processing module is detachably electrically connected to the temperature sensor, has a microcontroller (MCU; Microcomputer Unit), and a signal transmitting unit is electrically connected to the microcontroller; and a remote monitoring module And receiving the data transmitted by the signal transmitting unit for recording, displaying and warning.

Preferably, the signal processing module further comprises a drop monitoring unit electrically connected to the microcontroller, and if the connection between the anti-heat module and the signal processing module is interrupted due to the pulling of the patient, the warning can be immediately issued. Remind the caregiver to handle it.

Preferably, the signal processing module further comprises a storage unit electrically connected to the microcontroller, capable of storing changes in the patient's body temperature and providing the medical personnel with a reference for treatment.

More preferably, the signal transmitting unit communicates with the remote monitoring module by means of wireless communication, so that the caregiver can still grasp the condition at any time at the remote end.

Compared with the conventional antipyretic patch, which has only heat dissipation effect, the intelligent antipyretic patch of the invention enables the caregiver to grasp the patient's condition change more efficiently and flexibly, and then give proper care.

The detailed construction, features, assembly or use of the intelligent antipyretic patch provided by the present invention will be described in the detailed description of the subsequent embodiments.

The temperature sensor 26 is used to sense the body temperature of the contact portion and can be selected by a thermistor, a thermocouple or a temperature sensing IC, and the setting position can be adjusted according to requirements, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the temperature sensing The number of the temperature sensors 26 is not limited to one. As shown in FIG. 4 , the heat-removing module 20 is provided with two temperature sensors 26 . Simultaneously measure and record the temperature in different areas.

In addition, the temperature sensor 26 has an outwardly extending signal line 262 connected to a socket 264. The signal processing module 30 is coupled to the temperature sensor 26 via another signal line 266 and a plug 268. The socket 264 is detachably electrically connected, whereby the signal processing module 30 can receive and process the sensing signal of the temperature sensor 26.

The signal processing module 30 is connected to a power source 44, and has a microcontroller (MCU) 32 and a signal transmitting unit 34, a drop monitoring unit 36, a storage unit 38, a first warning unit 40 and a display unit 42. Electrical connection. The signal transmitting unit 34 communicates with the remote monitoring module 50 by using a wireless communication method, and transmits the sensing data processed by the microcontroller 32 to the remote monitoring module 50; The unit 36 is configured to immediately send a signal to the microcontroller 32 for processing when the electrical connection between the anti-heat module 20 and the signal processing module 30 is interrupted due to the pulling of the patient; the storage unit 38 is used. And storing the sensing data processed by the microcontroller 32; the first warning unit 40 receives an alert signal from the microcontroller 32 to emit sound, light and vibration to alert the caregiver; the display unit 42 is For displaying the temperature sensing result, the temperature record of the storage unit 38, and the operation status of each component, the power source 44 can be externally connected to the power socket as in the embodiment, or can be built in.
