Multi-parameter acquiring and recording device for dynamically monitoring penile erection states

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to a miniature multi-sensing technology based multi-parameter dynamic monitoring and recording device for penile erection states. The device is medical auxiliary monitoring equipment which combines a dynamic penile erection state sensing monitoring technology and a continuous data recording method and dynamically monitors change of multiple indexes such as biological impedance, penile position angles, axial penile pressure, penile blood flow and the like in the penile erection states. The monitor comprises a physiological parameter acquisition module, an embedded master control module as well as accessories such as a lead, a battery, an elastic fiber sleeve and the like. All the function modules coordinate with one another to work under the unified control of the master control module and acquire, process and record physiological information capable of reflecting various function states in penises of monitored patients in real time. The device can realize non-invasive, reliable and continuous monitoring of the penile erection states of the patients in real and natural sleep states and provide powerful and objective data reference for clinical assessment of male erectile dysfunctions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a male sexual function monitoring method and a medical monitoring instrument, in particular to a multi-parameter monitoring instrument for dynamically monitoring the erection state of a male penis. Background technique [0002] Erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, ED) refers to "the inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse", which is a common and frequently-occurring disease in men, especially middle-aged and elderly men. According to WHO estimates, in 2002, about 150 million elderly people in the world suffered from ED, and by 2050, this number will reach 320 million. The influence of psychological factors can well reflect the patient's potential erectile function, so it is used as the main index for checking and analyzing the etiology of ED clinically. At present, the measurement of nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) is the preferred method for clinical diagnosis of E...

Problems solved by technology

For example, although Rigiscan can objectively reflect the nighttime erection of the penis and provide objective indicators such as penis size and radial hardness, Rigiscan needs to put two self-contracting cable loops on the penis and bind Holter on the thigh to give the monitored The penis creates a feeling of being trapped and violates the natural state. At the same time, the binding of Holter on the thigh creates a sense of tension for the patient, which is prone to false negative results

Although the NEVA method of measuring penile bioimpedance can indirectly reflect the nighttime erection of the penis, it is inconvenient to use and operate, and the electrodes are easy to stick and not tight, and there are also disadvantages of binding Holter on the thigh.

In addition, neither of the above two monitors can monitor the axial hardness of the penis. However, the axial hardness of the penis is the most important item in sexual intercourse. In addition, it is expensive and has not been widely used in hospitals at home and abroad.

[0004] In addition, a Chinese patent (CN201310345391) discloses a male sexual function detector, which requires skin preparation, penis skin cleaning, electrode sticking, etc., which may have a certain impact on the patient's sleep and psychology, and will interfere with the test results.

It also cannot monitor the circumference of the penis when it is flaccid

Moreover, the measurement of a single parameter is likely to cause errors and be affected by the environment during the monitoring process, which reduces the credibility of the monitoring results

[0005] In addition, Chinese patent (CN201510013127) discloses an electronic intelligent penile erectile function monitor. And the signal processing mechanism is unclear, and it is difficult to implement the patent
