- FIG. 25 (c) is a graph showing the level of urinary and sleepiness self-report. From this graph, it can be seen that, at the “limit time”, HF increases at the time when LF / HF is relatively stable, and both the maximum blood pressure and the minimum blood pressure increase. Further, “after perception”, “at the time of patience”, and “at the limit” tend to be higher in both maximum blood pressure and minimum blood pressure than in “normal time” and “before perception”.
- FIGS. 26A to 26E shows output results obtained by the physiological phenomenon estimation means 250 of the present embodiment, where (a) is “normal time”, (b) is “before perception”, (c) is “after perception”, ( d) shows an output result of “at endurance” and (e) shows an output result of “at the limit”, respectively.
- the left column in each of FIGS. 26A to 26E shows a plot of the amplitude ratio
- the right column of each diagram shows a predetermined amplitude (A1 (i) created from the plot of the left column. ), A2 (i + 1)) ratio point cloud distribution density contour map.
- the width of the point group of the amplitude (A1 (i), A2 (i + 1)) ratio becomes smaller than the previous state, and the distribution becomes one point. There is a tendency to concentrate.
- the stronger the sense of urine the more the center of this point group tends to move toward the coordinate origin. Therefore, by setting threshold values on the coordinates for the area of these point groups, the position of the center point, etc., the physiological state estimating means 250 can estimate the level of urinary intention.
- FIG. 27 shows the inclination of the approximate line of the point group of the amplitude (A1 (i), A2 (i + 1)) ratio obtained in FIG. 26 and the maximum blood pressure (FIG. 27 (a)) or the minimum blood pressure (FIG. 27 (b)).
- FIG. The blood pressure data is the blood pressure at 75 minutes after “normal time”, the blood pressure at 90 minutes after “perception”, the blood pressure at 105 minutes after “perception”, "” Adopted the average value of blood pressure at the time of 135 minutes and 150 minutes, and "time limit” adopted the blood pressure at the time of 180 minutes and 195 minutes. From FIG. 27, it is understood that both the maximum blood pressure and the minimum blood pressure deviate from the approximate line of FIG.
- the physiological state estimation unit 250 shows the appearance of singular points that deviate greatly from the correlation between the slope of the approximate line of the point group of the amplitude (A1 (i), A2 (i + 1)) ratio obtained in FIG. 26 and the blood pressure. Can be estimated as the “urinary” urinary level.
- the blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, but the singularity as shown in FIG. 27 is obtained using the output result of the blood pressure fluctuation estimated by the blood pressure fluctuation estimating means 240 of the above embodiment.
- the will of urine can also be estimated by the method of the physiological phenomenon estimation means 250 of the present embodiment that is obtained.
- the physiological phenomenon estimation means 250 of this embodiment employs means for estimating urinary intention by comparing the amplitude change patterns in each cardiac cycle of the pseudo-cardiographic waveform rather than the amplitude ratio of the two waveform components.
- the pseudo heart sound waveform to be analyzed also in the present embodiment is the RC1 waveform that is the first pseudo heart sound waveform described above.
- a waveform pattern (hereinafter referred to as “positive waveform pattern”) showing a change in which the lowest point (lowest bottom) appears immediately after the appearance of the highest amplitude point (highest peak) among the waveform components of
- a waveform pattern (hereinafter referred to as a “negative waveform pattern”) in a region (b) indicating a change in which the lowest point (lowest bottom) appears just before the appearance of the highest amplitude point (highest peak).
- the urinary intention is estimated using these two types of waveform patterns.
- the physiological phenomenon estimation means 250 of the present embodiment is set so as to estimate urine from the appearance ratio of a positive waveform pattern and a negative waveform pattern at a certain time. This will be described using the data of the subject A in the above embodiment.
- FIG. 29 shows subjective evaluation of subject A's urinary intention and sleepiness (FIG. 29 (a)), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (FIG. 29 (b)), HF, from 60 minutes to 200 minutes after the start of the experiment. And LF / HF (FIG. 29 (c)) are shown as time series changes, and FIG. 29 (d) shows time series changes in the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern. The time-series change in the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern is obtained by calculating and plotting the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern for 180 seconds every 30 seconds.
- the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern showed little fluctuation from the start of the experiment until the onset of initial urination, but the appearance ratio changed greatly after the onset of initial urine. This change coincides with the timing in FIG. 29 (c) that HF shows a remarkable decreasing tendency from the onset of initial urination. This is because the parasympathetic nerve is involved in bladder contraction and sphincter relaxation. If the appearance ratio of a negative waveform pattern in which remarkable fluctuation similar to HF is seen from the expression of urinary intention is used, Change will be captured.
- the physiological phenomenon estimation unit 250 obtains the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern, and is set so as to determine “there is urinary intention” when it corresponds to a predetermined criterion.
- the criterion include an increase rate of the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern in a predetermined time range.
- the difference between the minimum value and the maximum value of the negative waveform pattern appearance ratio is increased by 30% or more in the last 20 minutes, the “urinary intention” is indicated. It was set to judge.
- Table 7 shows the correlation between the case where the presence or absence of urine is determined according to the determination criteria shown in FIG. 30 and the subjective evaluation of each subject regarding the data of each subject in Experimental Example 2 described above.
- the “state without urine” in the subjective evaluation is after ingestion of 500 ml of water, and the “state with urine” indicates the initial urinary intention (when weak urine is felt) and the maximum urine intention (strong urine intention).
- the physiological phenomenon estimation unit 250 adopting the determination criterion of FIG. 30 is used as a reference, and the two are compared.
- FIG. 29 shows the accuracy of judgment differs to some extent depending on the subject.
- the subject A who showed the experimental results in FIG. 29 had a high correct answer rate.
- FIG. 31 shows the experimental result of the subject B whose correct answer rate was relatively low. Comparing the two, as shown in FIG. 29, subject A shows the influence of urinary intentions such as a decrease in HF and an increase in blood pressure from the onset of initial urine in each biological index, and the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern Remarkable fluctuations are also thought of as an indication of changes in the body condition accompanying urinary intention.
- the subject B as shown in FIG.
- the blood pressure repeatedly fluctuates until 135 minutes when drowsiness becomes strong and rises when it becomes weak, but is strong at the time of maximum urination. Blood pressure has risen despite sleepiness.
- HF and LF / HF show a tendency for HF to decrease and LF / HF to increase before the declaration of maximum urine, although there is not much change from the start of the experiment. ing.
- subject B shows the influence of urinary intention on the biometric index at the time of maximal urination, but sleepiness stronger than the urinary effect on the change in the state of the body wins, so at the time of initial urination, It is considered that the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern did not fluctuate so much that urine was not captured.
- the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern obtained from the pseudo-cardiogram in the present embodiment changes under the influence of the reflected wave of the pulse wave generated from the heart, that is, due to the hardening of the arterial wall due to the influence of an increase in blood pressure, etc. It is thought that it changes as the propagation speed of the reflected wave increases. Therefore, the early return of the reflected wave due to an increase in blood pressure accompanying the appearance of urine appears as a large fluctuation in the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern, and the urinary intention can be detected.
- the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the negative waveform appearance ratio is obtained for a predetermined time range in the same manner as described above.
- it is set to 20 minutes, but in the calculation example of FIG. 32, it is set to 15 minutes, and further, this is sequentially obtained by using data obtained by sliding every 2 minutes (n (1) to n (I)).
- the difference between 15 minutes from 2 minutes to 17 minutes is sequentially calculated as 15%.
- FIG. 33 shows an example in which the method of FIG. 32 is applied to the experimental data.
- the reference difference X was set to 14%.
- the graph shown in FIG. 33 (f) is the result. From this graph, it can be seen that the fluctuation rate at normal time increases as the urinary intention increases. Therefore, by using the graph of FIG. 33 (f), it is possible to quickly determine that urinary intention has occurred at the time when the normal fluctuation rate increases while sequentially determining the appearance ratio of the negative waveform pattern.
- a time-series waveform of the appearance ratio of the negative waveform is obtained (FIG. 34 (a)).
- the moving average calculation is performed with the time window set to 240 seconds to obtain the moving average waveform of the appearance ratio of the negative waveform (FIG. 34B).
- the moving average waveform is differentiated and the bottom point of the amplitude is extracted (FIG. 34C).
- the bottom point extracted in FIG. 34C is plotted on the moving average waveform of the appearance ratio of the negative waveform in FIG. 34B (FIG. 34D), and the data in FIG. Use it to capture fluctuations in the amplitude, period, and baseline of the moving average waveform of the negative waveform appearance ratio.
- FIG. 35 shows experimental data of the same subject as in FIG. 33
- FIG. 35 (f) shows a graph in which the bottom point, which is the start point of the cycle, is plotted on the moving average waveform of the appearance ratio of the negative waveform.
- the baseline is almost constant, the frequency is stable, and the amplitude is small.
- the fluctuation occurs from the time of initial urination declaration, and the amplitude becomes longer and the period becomes longer.
- the amplitude tends to converge as it approaches the maximum urine time (limit time).
- FIG. 36 shows different experimental data of the same subject as FIG. Similarly, looking at the graph in the lowermost column of FIG. 36 (f), the frequency is almost constant, although the baseline is unstable until the first urine declaration.
- the amplitude is greatly changed once and the cycle is changed. After that, although the period is stabilized, the amplitude increases again around 140 to 150 minutes.
- the urinary / sleepiness graph (FIG. 36 (d))
- fluctuations in sleepiness occur and urinary sensation is temporarily reduced.
- the maximum urinary intention at the limit
- FIG. 37 shows data of different subjects, as shown in FIG. 37 (f), there are fluctuations in the amplitude and period when reporting the intention to urinate for the first time. There are fluctuations in amplitude and period at the timing when time passes. And, it tends to converge as it approaches the maximum urine time (at the limit).
- FIG. 38 shows data of still different subjects, and from FIG. 38 (e), changes in amplitude, period, and baseline inclination are seen around 50 minutes. At this point in time, he does not feel urine, but the change corresponds to the fact that sympathetic nerve activity is activated with LF / HF being dominant. The amplitude and period also fluctuate even when the initial urine declaration near 90 minutes is present, and the amplitude tends to converge near the limit.
- FIG. 39 shows further different subject data.
- this subject has increased drowsiness from 30 minutes after the start of the experiment until near the time of reporting the intention to urinate.
- the slope of the baseline increases to the right with increasing sleepiness until around 70 minutes. After that, the slope of the baseline changes and the fluctuation of the cycle is observed as it approaches the time of reporting the intention of first urination, and the amplitude tends to converge near the limit time.
- the fluctuation of fluctuation such as the amplitude, period, baseline, etc. of the moving average waveform of the negative waveform appearance ratio, appears as shown above, and it is suggested that urinary intention can be captured. Not only that, but also changes corresponding to changes in sleepiness and autonomic nerve activity, it is an index that can be used to capture various changes in the biological state.

前記コンピュータに、前記生体信号として、心臓から送り出される血液の流量に対応して変動する人の背部から採取される背部生体音・振動情報を処理して得られる心音の周期に対応した疑似心音波形を用い、前記疑似心音波形における所定の波形成分を比較して、生体状態を推定する生体状態推定手順を実行させることを特徴とする。
前記生体状態推定手順は、前記波形成分の2つの振幅(i,i+1)について、一方を横座標軸に他方を縦座標軸にとった座標系に時系列にプロットし、各プロットされた点群の分散状況から生体状態を推定することが好ましい。

また、本発明は、生体状態推定装置としてのコンピュータに、生体信号を処理して生体の状態を推定する手順を実行させる前記に記載のコンピュータプログラムが記録されたコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体を提供する。
また、本発明の生体状態推定方法は、生体信号を用いて生体の状態を推定する生体状態推定方法であって、前記生体信号として、心臓から送り出される血液の流量に対応して変動する人の背部から採取される背部生体音・振動情報を処理して得られる心音の周期に対応した疑似心音波形を用い、前記疑似心音波形における所定の波形成分を比較して、生体状態を推定することを特徴とする。
また、本発明の生体状態推定方法は、前記疑似心音波形の1心周期内に含まれる2つの波形成分の振幅を比較して生体状態を推定することが好ましく、また、前記波形成分の2つの振幅(i,i+1)について、一方を横座標軸に他方を縦座標軸にとった座標系に時系列にプロットし、各プロットされた点群の分散状況から生体状態を推定することが好ましい。前記各プロットされた点群の傾きから生体状態を推定することが好ましい。前記疑似心音波形の各心周期における振幅変化のパターンを比較して生体状態を推定することも好ましい。前記疑似心音波形の各心周期における振幅変化のパターンとして、各心周期において振幅が最も高くなる最高ピークに対し、振幅が最も低くなる最低ボトムが、前記最高ピークの直後に出現する正の波形パターンと直前に出現する負の波形パターンとに分け、2つの波形パターンの一定時間における出現比率から生体状態を推定することが好ましい。前記疑似心音波形から、前記生体状態として、血圧変動、尿意を含む生理現象のいずれか少なくとも一つの状態を推定することが好ましい。
このように本実施形態の血圧変動推定手段240は、疑似心音波形のうちの所定の波形成分として、疑似I音の波形成分の始点から疑似II音の波形成分の終点までの間において、隣接する2つの振幅(i,i+1))を用いて、好ましくは、後述のように疑似I音の増幅期において隣接する2つの振幅を用いて血圧変動を推定している。すなわち、コンピュータによる推定のための演算処理は、疑似心音波形を抽出した後は、特定の波形成分に関してのみ解析すればよい。そして、このようにして求めた振幅比を示す点群の分散状況を後述のように近似線の傾き角度を用いて血圧との関係を推定できるため、時系列波形の変化パターンで比較する場合と比べ、血圧と近似線の傾き角度との相関データを予め記憶部に記憶させておけば、それを判定対象の近似線の傾き角度と比較すればよく、判定時におけるコンピュータの負荷の軽減、演算処理速度の向上につながる手法である。
(実験方法)
生体信号測定装置として生体信号測定装置1がシートバック部に装着された実験用の自動車用シートに被験者を着座させ、安静状態、座位姿勢で、生体信号測定装置1により背部音・振動情報を採取した。コンピュータである生体状態推定装置100によって背部音・振動情報のデータを分析した。同時に、心電図(以下「ECC」、計測機器:日本光電工業(株)製、ベッドサイドモニタ BSM-2300シリーズライフスコープI)、心音図(以下、「PCG」、計測機器:日本光電工業(株)製、心音脈波アンプ AS101D及びTA701T)、指尖容積脈波(以下、「PPG」、計測機器:(株)アムコ製 フィンガークリッププローブSR-5C)を測定して比較した。なお、心音計による計測は人の胸部前面から行った。被験者はインフォームドコンセント後に書面にて同意を得た健常な20歳代の男性ボランティア6名(25.0±2.9歳)であり、体格等の身体的特徴は図5に示したとおりであった。いずれも、肥満指数(BMI値)は、18.5以上25未満であり、標準体格の被験者であった。
また、15分間の計測後に、上腕用家庭用血圧計(オムロンHEM-7051)を用いて、上腕の収縮期血圧(SBP)、拡張期血圧(DBP)の計測を行った。
図6~図8は、実験結果として、被験者C、被験者A、被験者Fの事例を示したものである。図6の被験者Cは、心拍数は56回/分、SBPは114mmgHg、DBPは68mmHgであり、図7の被験者Aは、全被験者中で最も心拍数が高く、心拍数は68回/分、SBPは121mmgHg、DBPは73mmHgであった。図8の被験者Fは、心拍数は63回/分、SBPは111mmgHg、DBPは67mmHgで、SBP、DBP共に低い事例である。
表1は、被験者A~Fの6名分のRRIと疑似心音波形から得られたPPWg-Dとの心周期の相関を示す。全被験者の相関係数は、p<0.05となり、有意な相関が示された。図9は、相関図を示し、横軸はRRI、縦軸はPPWg-Dである。
従って、本実施形態の手法を用いれば、背部音・振動情報を測定するだけで、すなわち、被験者は生体信号測定装置1が装着されたシートに着席するだけで、心音計を用いた場合と同程度の精度で血圧変動を捉えることができる。
(実験方法)
20歳代から30歳代の健康な被験者(男性8名(なお、内3名は2回実験を行ったため、得られた実験データは全11例))に、水を摂取させ、尿意の感覚レベルと生理現象推定手段250により求められる上記振幅比のプロットされた点群との関係を調べた。尿意の感覚レベルは、水を摂取後、全く尿意を感じない状態を「通常時」とし、その後、尿意を知覚した時点(すなわち、初発尿意(FDV)を自覚した時点を「知覚後」とし、初発尿意を自覚する直前を「知覚前」として分類した。また、尿意の我慢限界である最大尿意(MDV)の自覚時を「限界時」とし、「知覚後」と「限界時」との間の強い尿意(SDV)を自覚している時点を「我慢時」として分類した。
被験者が、上記実験用の自動車用シートに排尿後に着座して実験を開始し、実験開始から45分後から水500mlを15分かけ摂取、最大尿意(限界時)申告まで安静状態を保ち、最大尿意申告後、排尿を行い、排尿量を測定して実験を終了した。
図25は、比較的眠気の影響が少なかった被験者Aの解析結果を示した図である。図25(a)は、心電図のHFとLF/HFの時系列波形を、図25(b)は、最高血圧、最低血圧の時系列の推移、並びに、15分おきに求めた心拍数の推移を、図25(c)は、尿意及び眠気の自己申告によるレベルを示したグラフである。このグラフから、「限界時」が、LF/HFが比較的安定した時期において、HFが亢進し、その中で最高血圧、最低血圧共に上昇していることがわかる。また、「知覚後」、「我慢時」、「限界時」は、「通常時」、「知覚前」よりも、最高血圧、最低血圧共に高くなる傾向が見られる。
