WO2023170444A1 - Smart massage uniform with blood oxygen measurement - Google Patents

Abstract

This device is for controlling the body of the person when his body is deficient in blood oxygen and when the person encounters this problem, the oxygen sensor measures the oxygen of his blood and with the help of the control circuit to the wind motors, commands the muscles to gently they push and this operation is done several times and the small vibration motors that are installed on these bags give a vibrating operation to the muscle and cause more blood flow and oxygen supply.

Description

Smart Massage Uniform with Blood Oxygen Measurement

This invention relates to hospital clothes; more particularly to isolated hospital clothes .In other words, The present invention relates generally to the field of medical equipments , and more particularly to a hospital isolation garment which benefits from the advantage of massaging the user's body.

Multi-drug resistant bacteria and viruses, or “superbugs”, are causing serious concerns about safety and illness at hospitals worldwide. The resistance rates of common organisms to standard antibiotic regimens are rapidly increasing, causing risks to patient health and safety both within and outside hospitals. It is also causing treatment costs and the length of hospital stays to increase significantly. Staphylococcus Aureus, an organism which causes many common infections, is now classified as multi-drug resistant in more than 50% of cases in hospitals. According to the US Center for Disease Control, 1.7 million people per year are infected with “health-care related infections” at hospitals in the US alone, and that 99,000 people per year die from these infections. This is an existential crisis for hospitals—the superbugs are prevalent in the one place where people are most vulnerable to their attack .Protective hospital gowns are well known in the patented prior art. For example, combined gown and glove assemblies are disclosed in the U.S. patents to Grengg U.S. Pat. No. Des. 208,527 and Abilgaard U.S. Pat. No. 3,045,815. Protective gowns including a hood portion are disclosed in the U.S. patents to Kelly U.S. Pat. No. 1,560,997, Boettcher U.S. Pat. No. 2,374,643, Herzig U.S. Pat. No. 3,496,572, and Knab U.S. Pat. No. 4,055,173. The Kelly, Herzig, and Knab patents also disclose visors connected with the hood portions. Finally, disposable gowns are disclosed in the patents to Ramirez U.S. Pat. No. 3,855,635, Benevento et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,911,499, Toth U.S. Pat. No. 4,408,357, and White U.S. Pat. No. 4,586,196. A search in the prior art has yielded several documents disclosing examples of patient isolation modules developed by others. A first example of a patient isolation enclosure is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,601,031 issued to Kenneth Abel on Aug. 24, 1971. This document describes a portable cubicle which is deployed inside an hospital room. An hospital bed is mounted inside this cubicle. A blower and a HEPA™ filter are mounted along one wall of the cubicle, with the blower discharge opening being mounted near the head of the bed. The blower inlet and discharge louvers are separated from each other by a partition extending alongside the hospital bed. Filtered air is forced to travel over the patient, from head to toes, and around the partition, to return to the blower and to be re-circulated through the filter and back into the cubicle.

Another example of a patient isolation module is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,129,122 issued to J. A. Dout et al. on Dec. 12, 1978. This document also discloses a sealable enclosure mounted inside an hospital room. A blower discharges clean air over the head of an hospital bed. Foul air is drawn outside the enclosure and back to the blower along the space between the sealable enclosure and the walls and ceiling of the hospital room.

In yet another example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,062,977 issued to S. W. Hague on May 16, 2000, describes a filtering unit mounted on a wall adjacent an hospital bed at the head of the bed. The filtering unit draws air from a region near the head of the bed to entrains contaminants arising from a patient's breathing zone. The potentially contaminated air is filtered, irradiated by UV light and then discharged into hospital air.

Although the air control and treatment systems of the prior art deserve undeniable merits, there continues to be a need for an air control system that can effectively remove potentially contaminated air from above and alongside an infectious patient laying in an hospital bed.

While the prior protective gowns are satisfactory, none of them provide a unitary construction including a hood portion sealed to the gown to completely guard the wearer against infection from a patient. Thus, blood splattered from a patient may seep through the seams between the gown and the hood or gloves and come into contact with the wearer, thereby increasing the risk of infection.

The present invention was developed in order to overcome these and other drawbacks of prior gowns by providing a unitary disposable hood and gown including sealed seams between the hood and body portions thereof to completely envelop the wearer and guarantee that no seepage of fluids from a patient may occur through the gown.

The invention relates to an isolated  massaging garment worn in close proximity to a wearer's skin. More particularly, the invention relates to a massaging garment having a plurality of pushing elements and a plurality of pulling elements for producing a massaging effect on the wearer's skin and increase the circulation of blood in muscles to prevent muscle cramps.

Sometimes patients should be kept in isolation to be treated. They have to wear special clothes to be isolated and resistant to bacteria and viruses. Even hospital personnel have to be careful about this matter .They are in close relation with the patients, so they are exposed to infections.

To solve the mentioned problems a special cloth is invented .This isolated hospital massaging garment is worn in close proximity to a wearer's skin and comprises a stretchable fabric. A plurality of pushing elements are secured to the stretchable fabric for pushing the wearer's skin away from the stretchable fabric. The plurality of pushing elements and pulling elements produce a massaging effect on the wearer's skin as the wearer's body is moved .The important thing about this invention is that it is equipped with automatic detective sensor to realize oxygen reduction ,and subsequently rub and vibrate the muscles to increase blood circulation.

One benefit of this massaging garment according to an embodiment of the invention is that the movement of the wearer's own body initiates the massage. Another benefit of this massaging garment according to an embodiment of the invention is that the pushing and pulling elements which produce the massaging effect may be incorporated into a woven or knit fabric and may be incorporated into a single or double layer fabric. This massaging garment according to an embodiment of the invention may be fully washable .This invention prevents muscles cramp in the users body.

A further benefit of this isolated massaging garment according is that this garment is used with an antibacterial additive or a topical moisturizing to medical treatment.

Other benefits and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed as an illustration only and not as a definition of the limits of the invention.

Fig.1.It shows the schematic view of the invention.

Fig.2 It shows the waist bag and its embodiments.

While this invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there are shown in the drawings and will be described in details herein .The invention discloses an isolated cloth wherein 4flexible cuffs2 are devised in different parts such as arms and ankles. An automatic pressure sensor4devised on the cloth wrist detects the reduction of oxygen level .In the case of being low ,the command transfers through the solenoid valve5 to the waist bag6devised in the back part of the cloth and contains solenoid valve8,pressure sensor4 and air compressor .solenoid valve8 functions with12volt battery .The air compressor creates gentle vibrating movements through the air vallve to increase blood circulation in muscles to prevent muscles cramp.

This anti-infectious garment can be used anywhere such as laboratories, hospitals ,especially at the time of spreading infectious diseases such as corona.
