[0015] As shown in the figure, a skin monitor includes a monitor body, a monitoring device arranged in the monitor body, the monitoring device includes a microprocessor 4, and also includes a skin bioelectric acquisition unit 1, a skin electrical stimulation unit 2, and a communication module 5 respectively connected to the microprocessor 4. The skin bioelectric acquisition unit 1 includes a bioelectric acquisition sensor 11, and the skin electrical stimulation unit 2 includes a stimulation signal electrode 21 and a stimulation signal generator 22 for sending a stimulation signal. The output end of the stimulation signal generator 22 is connected to the stimulation signal electrode 21, and the stimulation signal generator 22 is connected to the microprocessor 4. The present invention can collect the comprehensive bioelectric signals on the skin surface and the bioelectric signals of the skin under stress, so as to facilitate the judgment of whether the skin is healthy.

[0016] The skin bioelectric acquisition unit 1 also includes a signal preprocessing module 12 connected to the bioelectric acquisition sensor 11, and an analog-to-digital conversion module 13 connected between the signal preprocessing module 12 and the microprocessor 4. The collected bioelectric signal is preprocessed, and the analog-to-digital converter converts the bioelectric signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the microprocessor. In this embodiment, a bioelectric acquisition probe is used as the bioelectric acquisition sensor 11.

[0017] The skin monitor also includes a skin water and oil collection unit 3 connected to the microprocessor 4 respectively. The skin water and oil collection unit 3 includes a water / oil collection sensor 31 and a water / oil collection module 32 connected between the water / oil collection sensor 31 and the microprocessor 4. In this embodiment, a water / oil collection probe is used as the biological water / oil collection sensor 31.

[0018] The communication module 5 is a Bluetooth communication module, and the monitor body is wearable, which can be a watch-type, a ring-type, a headgear-type, a vest-type, or a detachable belt-type.

[0019] The above-mentioned skin monitor can be equipped with a wireless control terminal 6 with a software APP to form a skin health monitoring system. The microprocessor 4 of the skin monitor and the wireless control terminal 6 are wirelessly connected to exchange data through the communication module 5. The software APP on the wireless control terminal 6 obtains skin health index information through the comprehensive bioelectric signals of the skin surface collected by the skin monitor and the bioelectric signals of the skin under stress, or, combined with the water and oil parameter conditions collected by the skin water and oil collection unit 3, can more accurately monitor the indicators reflecting skin health. Based on this, the wireless control terminal 6 can also display the skin assessment report and guiding program through the software APP, and display it on the display screen. Convenient skin health monitoring and guidance services are realized, providing a new evaluation dimension for long-term and convenient monitoring and tracking of skin health trends.

[0020] The wireless control terminal sends instructions to the microprocessor through the Bluetooth communication module. The instructions sent include (but not limited to) signal acquisition start / end instructions, data reading instructions, configuration information of functional modules, etc. The microprocessor sends acquisition instructions to each functional module through the internal circuit connection to start collecting data, and receives the data collected by each module in real time. After sorting and encoding, the data is transmitted back to the wireless control terminal through the Bluetooth communication module. The wireless control terminal uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate the comprehensive skin health index and displays it to the user. The wireless control terminal can also upload various data from the microprocessor to another software system, such as a cloud health management system, and use the rich computing resources of the software system to achieve more accurate skin health assessment reports and guiding plans, which are finally displayed to the user.

[0021] The skin health monitor can be used in a variety of scenarios, including (but not limited to) the wireless control terminal and the wearable part operating independently, or the wireless control terminal, the wearable hardware part and another software system are used together.

[0022] In the standalone operation mode, the user uses the wearable device to partially measure and collect skin electrical signals, and then directly views the measurement and analysis results on the wireless control terminal.

[0023] When used in conjunction with a software system, the wireless control terminal can upload the collected signals and measurement results to a connected software system, such as a cloud-based health management system. This software system can further evaluate and analyze the data collected by the skin health monitor, and ultimately form a comprehensive assessment report containing skin health conditions and send it to the user.
