Description

生理訊號量測裝置Physiological signal measuring device

本發明是有關於一種生理訊號量測裝置,且特別是有關於一種能夠獲得更精準的量測結果的生理訊號量測裝置。The present invention relates to a physiological signal measuring device, and more particularly to a physiological signal measuring device capable of obtaining a more accurate measurement result.

受到近幾年來醫療、衛生及生活形態的影響,慢性病(如心臟疾病、中風、癌症及糖尿病)已取代急性傳染病成為已開發或開發中國家的主要疾病。慢性病除了損害個人健康外,也會對家庭經濟及國家醫療支出造成沉重負擔。因此慢性病的防治與治療成為世界各國所著重的課題。目前醫院具備多種慢性病偵測方式,但醫療成本還是逐年高漲,如果能夠落實每天居家定時檢測,或許才能發揮早期偵測的效用。目前國內外各大廠積投入與研發居家診斷儀器,但面臨硬體操作不方便且量測不夠精確、軟體分析缺乏可有效應用於疾病分析之指標、量測結果缺乏臨床驗證等瓶頸,都尚未有顯著的成果出現。Affected by medical, health and lifestyle patterns in recent years, chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes have replaced acute infectious diseases as major diseases in developed or developing countries. In addition to damaging personal health, chronic diseases can also place a heavy burden on the family economy and national medical expenditure. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases has become a topic of great concern in all countries of the world. At present, the hospital has a variety of chronic disease detection methods, but the medical costs are still rising year by year. If you can implement daily home time detection, you may be able to play the role of early detection. At present, major domestic and foreign large-scale factories have invested in research and development of home diagnostic instruments, but they are not convenient for hardware operation and the measurement is not accurate enough. The lack of software analysis can effectively be applied to the indicators of disease analysis, and the measurement results lack clinical certification and other bottlenecks. Significant results have emerged.

循環疾病是現今醫學所面對的最大挑戰,由我國十大死因可知,身體局部組織之循環不良造成的各種疾病,合計約有67%之死亡原因,是與循環供血不良有關,由此可見此一威脅之嚴重性,且此一現象是目前全球先進國家共通之特性。若我們對全身血液供應狀態,能做出精確的評估,就可能反映身體組織運作狀況,進而對各種病症提供早期預防或治療的資訊,進而確保世人長期健康。Circulating diseases are the biggest challenges faced by medical science today. It is known from the top ten causes of death in China that the diseases caused by poor circulation of local tissues are about 67% of the total causes of death, which is related to poor circulation and blood supply. The severity of a threat, and this phenomenon is a common feature of advanced countries in the world. If we make an accurate assessment of the state of the blood supply to the whole body, it may reflect the state of the body's tissues, and thus provide information on early prevention or treatment of various conditions, thereby ensuring long-term health of the world.

人體心室週期性的收縮和舒張導致主動脈的收縮和舒張,使血流壓力以波的形式從主動脈根部開始沿著整個動脈系統傳播,這種波稱為脈搏波。脈搏波所呈現出的形態、強度、速率和節律等方面的綜合信息,可反映出人體心血管系統中許多生理病理的血流特徵。The periodic contraction and relaxation of the human ventricle leads to contraction and relaxation of the aorta, causing blood flow pressure to propagate from the root of the aorta along the entire arterial system in the form of waves. This wave is called a pulse wave. The comprehensive information on the shape, intensity, rate and rhythm of the pulse wave can reflect the blood flow characteristics of many physiological and pathological processes in the human cardiovascular system.

現今穿戴式科技之生理量測投入者眾,相關生理參數包括心跳、血壓、體脂肪、運動量等,投入廠商包括谷歌(Google)、三星、蘋果(Apple)等。然而目前穿戴式科技的發展並不足以反映人體真實的生理與病理狀態。主要是因為診斷功能不足,例如i-Watch 依附在手腕上,不僅厚度與重量造成負擔,價格昂貴,且目前診斷偵測部分只涵蓋心律監測、運動圖像化報告、血糖偵測等,目前未通過食品藥品監督管理局( Food and Drug Administration,FDA)認證,臨床應用價值受限。此外在量測精度、電池續航力等,仍有相當改善空間。Nowadays, the physiological measurement of wearable technology is input to the public. The relevant physiological parameters include heartbeat, blood pressure, body fat, exercise volume, etc., and the manufacturers include Google, Samsung, and Apple. However, the current development of wearable technology is not enough to reflect the true physiological and pathological state of the human body. Mainly because of the lack of diagnostic functions, such as i-Watch attached to the wrist, not only the burden of thickness and weight, the price is expensive, and the current diagnostic detection part only covers heart rhythm monitoring, motion imaging report, blood glucose detection, etc. Certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinical application value is limited. In addition, there is still considerable room for improvement in measurement accuracy, battery life, and so on.

血液脈動容積變化(Photoplethysmography ,PPG)(或稱為光體積描記法)信號是利用紅外光感測元件照射體表,運用血液吸收光線能量的原理,紀錄光線的變化而感應出來的信號。當心臟搏動週期,使得血管內單位面積的血流量成週期性的變化,血液體積若產生變動時,光感測元件將會隨著血液體積的變化而感應出電壓,吸收最多光線的時期剛好是心臟收縮的時期,光被血液中的血紅素吸收,所以 PPG 信號的振幅會隨血液進出組織成正比的變化。PPG信號取得簡單,在適當的信號前端處理之後,信號使用價值很高,由過去的文獻指出,可以利用PPG信號瞭解交感神經之變化以及輔助心血管功能診斷。與其他儀器相比PPG具有設備輕便、操作簡易、非侵入性、親和性高及成本低廉等優勢,且由於偵測範圍涵蓋血管床與小動脈,在診斷上兼具評估主要循環與微循環的好處,以致許多學者投入研究。Photoplethysmography (PPG) (or photoplethysmography) is a signal that is sensed by the use of infrared light-sensing elements to illuminate the surface of the body, using the principle of blood to absorb light energy, and recording changes in light. When the heart beats the cycle, the blood flow per unit area of the blood vessel changes periodically, and if the blood volume changes, the light sensing element will induce a voltage as the blood volume changes, and the period of absorbing the most light is just During the period of systole, light is absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood, so the amplitude of the PPG signal changes proportionally with the blood entering and leaving the tissue. The PPG signal is simple to obtain, and the signal is of high value after being processed by the appropriate signal front end. It has been pointed out from the past literature that the PPG signal can be used to understand the changes of the sympathetic nerve and to assist in the diagnosis of cardiovascular function. Compared with other instruments, PPG has the advantages of light weight, easy operation, non-invasiveness, high affinity and low cost. Because the detection range covers vascular bed and small artery, it is diagnosed with both primary circulation and microcirculation. The benefits have led many scholars to invest in research.

綜觀目前全球學界與業界的發展,已有多家廠商或學者,整合單晶片電路與PPG量測開發相關硬體,試圖提供臨床應用。電路方面,可結合運算單晶片如MSP430,或如蘋果開發iwatch穿戴式裝置;感測器方面,則有多家採用指套方式(如Philip),或採用手環等其他穿戴式型式。Looking at the current development of the global academic community and the industry, there have been many manufacturers or scholars, integrating single-chip circuits and PPG measurement development related hardware, trying to provide clinical applications. In terms of circuit, it can be combined with single-chip computing such as MSP430, or iwatch wearable device such as Apple; in terms of sensor, there are many finger-strap methods (such as Philip), or other wearable models such as bracelets.

現有的關於PPG的相關硬體設置,都面臨了以下共通問題。再現性差:重複量測時,量取波形之再現性差,影響波形計算所得指標之可信度。不舒適:配合固定裝置,易造成受測者局部不舒適,妨礙正常生理運作,而影響生理狀態監控之可信度。固定效果差:易引發人體與感測器之間的移動假影(motion artifact),造成量得訊號之不穩定。生理應用指標缺乏:波形計算所得之指標,缺乏於生理應用之相關進展,嚴重侷限PPG量測之生理或病理廣泛臨床應用,大多僅能進行血氧飽和度評估,無法貢獻於慢性疾病之偵測。因此,如何提供一種能夠獲得更精準的量測結果的生理訊號量測裝置,是本領域技術人員應致力的目標。The existing related hardware settings for PPG face the following common problems. Poor reproducibility: When repeating the measurement, the reproducibility of the measured waveform is poor, which affects the reliability of the index calculated by the waveform. Uncomfortable: With the fixing device, it is easy to cause partial uncomfortableness of the subject, hinder normal physiological operation, and affect the credibility of physiological state monitoring. Poor fixing effect: It is easy to cause motion artifact between the human body and the sensor, resulting in unstable signal. Lack of physiological application indicators: the indicators obtained by waveform calculation, lack of relevant progress in physiological application, severely limited PPG measurement of physiological or pathological extensive clinical application, most can only carry out oxygen saturation assessment, can not contribute to the detection of chronic diseases . Therefore, how to provide a physiological signal measuring device capable of obtaining more accurate measurement results is a goal that those skilled in the art should strive for.
