Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical detection, and in particular relates to a method and device for monitoring the state of a urinary catheter based on intelligent algorithm control. Background Art

[0002] The urinary catheter is a medical device widely used in clinical medicine, mainly used to solve the urine excretion disorder of patients, postoperative care and urine drainage needs of long-term bedridden patients. However, the traditional urinary catheter has the following technical difficulties during use: The risk of infection is high. Long-term implantation of catheters in the body can easily lead to urinary tract infections (CAUTI). This is because bacteria adhere to the surface of the catheter and form a biofilm, which significantly increases the probability of infection. The existing technology uses antibacterial coatings or regularly replaces catheters to reduce the risk, but the effect is limited and increases medical costs and patient discomfort.

[0003] Catheter obstruction problem: Long-term use of catheters may cause obstruction due to urine crystal deposition or biofilm formation, affecting the normal urine drainage function. Existing solutions mostly rely on external cleaning or replacement of catheters, which has the problem of frequent intervention and complex operation.

[0004] Trauma during catheter removal: Traditional catheters need to be removed manually, which may cause discomfort to the patient or even urethral injury during the operation. Especially for patients who use it for a long time, the safety and comfort of the removal process become key issues.

[0005] Insufficient control over material degradation. Some studies have begun to try to use biodegradable materials to make urinary catheters, but in actual applications, it is difficult to accurately control the material degradation time. Degradation too early may cause the catheter to break before completing the drainage task, while degradation too late will lose its meaning and may even produce residues that cause secondary damage to urinary tract health.

[0006] In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and artificial intelligence (AI), smart medical devices have gradually attracted attention. Some studies have tried to embed sensors and algorithms into catheters to monitor urine flow, pH value, temperature and other data to provide support for infection warning. However, existing technologies still have the following problems: The data monitoring function is limited and the trigger time of material degradation cannot be adjusted dynamically.

[0007] The lack of intelligent algorithms to comprehensively analyze patients’ individual characteristics makes it difficult to provide customized treatment for different patients.

[0008] Remote monitoring and real-time feedback functions are insufficient, and the collaboration capabilities between medical terminals and catheters are limited. Summary of the invention

[0013] In particular, the degradation control algorithm module uses the neighborhood attention mechanism model to calculate the correlation weights of the multidimensional data collected between multiple embedded sensors to measure the impact of each embedded sensor data on the degradation triggering process of the catheter, specifically including: according to the urine parameters collected by each embedded sensor, calculating its weight value in the urine environment change to measure the impact of each embedded sensor data on the degradation triggering process of the catheter, and the calculation method is: ,in, For embedded sensors and its neighborhood embedded sensors In the The weight in the iteration; Represents embedded sensor The neighborhood set of embedded sensors The neighborhood set of all directly connected embedded sensors, Represents embedded sensor Any neighboring node of ; represents the activation function, Represents embedded sensor In the The characteristic state of the iteration, Represents embedded sensor j In the The characteristic state of the iteration; For embedded sensors and The edge features between For embedded sensors and any neighborhood embedded sensors j The edge features between Indicates the characteristic state of the embedded sensor and a weight matrix mapped to a specific projection space associated with the catheter sensor features; represents a weight matrix that maps edge features to a specific projection space associated with catheter sensor features; The attention vector represents the calculation of the attention score in a specific projection space related to the catheter sensor characteristics; wherein the degradation trigger time of the catheter material is dynamically adjusted according to the urine parameters to ensure the accuracy and safety of the degradation process.

[0014] In particular, the neighborhood attention mechanism model ranks the importance weights of the multiple embedded sensors; the degradation time prediction model is used to adjust the data of each embedded sensor through the importance weight to form a set of dynamic feature vectors as input features, use the long short-term memory network LSTM to capture the long-term dependencies in the time series, predict the changing trend of urine environmental parameters, and use a fully connected network in the output layer to generate the degradation time window.

[0015] In particular, the urine parameters include urine flow rate, pH value, temperature and specific biomarker concentration, which are collected by different embedded sensors respectively, and the abnormal changes in the urine parameters include abnormal flow rate, abnormal temperature fluctuation, abnormal pH value fluctuation or abnormal urine enzyme concentration fluctuation.

[0016] In particular, the catheter includes a three-layer structure of an outer layer, an intermediate layer and a core material layer.

[0017] In particular, when the outer layer dissolves, it can also release an auxiliary trigger, which is a small molecule compound used to accelerate the release of the catalyst in the middle layer.

[0025] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] The present invention provides a method for monitoring the state of a urinary catheter based on intelligent algorithm control, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method is applied to a urinary catheter and comprises: The embedded sensor module collects urine parameters through multiple embedded sensors and sends them to the health status detection module through a low-power wireless transmission module; the urine parameters include urine flow rate, pH value, temperature and specific biomarker concentration, which are collected by different embedded sensors respectively. In this embodiment, multiple micro sensors are arranged on the surface and inside of the catheter for multi-point monitoring to monitor different environmental parameters. The following different sensors are included: pH sensor: detects changes in urine pH.

[0027] Temperature sensor: measures local temperature.

[0028] Enzyme concentration sensor: senses the concentration of specific enzymes in urine.

[0029] Flow rate sensor: Evaluates urine flow rate to determine if there is a blockage or other abnormality.

[0030] The abnormal changes in the urine parameters include abnormal flow rate, abnormal temperature fluctuation, abnormal pH value fluctuation or abnormal urine enzyme concentration fluctuation. The urine state detection module combines the multi-dimensional data of the urine parameters collected by the multiple embedded sensors, and uses a loss function based on a time series to detect the changing trend of the urine state and the abnormal changes in the urine parameters; if the abnormal change is detected, it is sent to the medical terminal through the low-power wireless transmission module; the urine state detection module uses a loss function based on a time series to detect the changing trend of the urine state, and the loss function based on a time series is expressed as: ,in, is the time step When the embedded sensor The characteristics of the collected urine state, is the length of the time series, is the balance weight parameter.

[0031] The degradation execution module receives the degradation instruction issued by the medical terminal, triggering the decomposition process of the degradable material of the catheter; the degradation instruction includes a degradation time window corresponding to the embedded sensor, and the degradation time window is calculated and generated by the degradation control algorithm module of the medical terminal to ensure that the degradation process of the catheter is started within the degradation time window.

[0032] The medical terminal performs real-time evaluation based on the abnormal changes in urine, generates a health status report based on the analysis results, and synchronizes the health status report to the patient or medical staff's mobile terminal through the cloud platform.

[0033] The degradation control algorithm module uses the neighborhood attention mechanism model to calculate the correlation weights of the multidimensional data between the embedded sensors to measure the impact of each sensor data on the degradation triggering process of the catheter, and combines the degradation time prediction model to analyze the time series data to dynamically predict the degradation time window of the catheter. The degradation control algorithm module uses the neighborhood attention mechanism model to calculate the correlation weights of the multidimensional data collected between multiple embedded sensors to measure the impact of each embedded sensor data on the degradation triggering process of the catheter.

[0034] In this embodiment, first, data collection and neighborhood attention mechanism calculation are performed, and the embedded sensor collects multi-dimensional data of the urine environment (such as pH value, enzyme concentration, urine flow rate, etc.) in real time.

[0035] According to the urine parameters collected by each embedded sensor, its weight value in the urine environment change is calculated to measure the impact of each embedded sensor data on the catheter degradation triggering process. The calculation method is: ,in, For embedded sensors and its neighborhood embedded sensors In the The weight in the iteration; Represents embedded sensor The neighborhood set of embedded sensors The neighborhood set of all directly connected embedded sensors, Represents embedded sensor Any neighboring node of ; represents the activation function, Represents embedded sensor In the The characteristic state of the iteration, Represents embedded sensor j In the The characteristic state of the iteration; For embedded sensors and The edge features between For embedded sensors and any neighborhood embedded sensors j The edge features between Indicates the characteristic state of the embedded sensor and a weight matrix mapped to a specific projection space associated with the catheter sensor features; represents a weight matrix that maps edge features to a specific projection space associated with catheter sensor features; represents the attention vector that calculates the attention score in a specific projection space related to the catheter sensor characteristics; wherein the degradation trigger time of the catheter material is dynamically adjusted according to the urine parameters to ensure the accuracy and safety of the degradation process. Through this formula, the dynamic weight allocation of embedded sensor data can effectively reflect the overall trend of urine environment changes, provide a scientific basis for catheter degradation triggering, and avoid triggering errors caused by local environmental characteristics.

[0036] Using Sensor Weights Weighting sensor data to generate time series input

[0037] Then, time series modeling and degradation time window prediction are performed, and the output of the neighborhood attention model is Input to LSTM / GRU model: Capture dynamic trends in multi-time step data, such as whether the pH drop is stable. Whether the enzyme concentration reaches the threshold that triggers degradation. Capture long-term changes in environmental characteristics through memory cells.

[0038] At the output layer of LSTM, the degradation trigger time window [ , ]: ,in It is the degradation time range that is dynamically adjusted according to environmental conditions.

[0039] Finally, the degradation trigger time is dynamically adjusted, according to the predicted degradation time window [ , ]Dynamically generate degradation trigger instructions: If the current time is close to , a trigger signal is sent to the catheter via wireless communication. The system monitors the degradation process and evaluates the urine environment in real time. If the abnormality is not resolved, the duration can be appropriately extended or shortened. , ].

[0040] For example: Input data: Real-time sensor data:

[0041] Prediction process: Neighborhood attention mechanism calculation weight: α t3 =0.5, so the sensor characteristics of t3 are given priority.

[0042] Time series forecasting model analysis trends: The pH is trending downward and degradation may need to be triggered earlier.

[0043] The increase in enzyme concentration supports further maturation of degradation conditions.

[0044] Output: The degradation trigger time window is predicted to be { [ =After 3 hours, =5 hours later]}.

The middle layer of the catheter can store a variety of catalysts: Enzyme catalysts (such as urease): highly specific and used to decompose core materials.

[0054] Acid catalysts (such as slow-release weak acids): Lower the pH to accelerate the hydrolysis of the material.

[0055] Optionally, the medical terminal determines the release order of catalyst types based on sensor feedback. For example, if the enzyme concentration is insufficient but the pH value is high, the acid catalyst is released first. When the enzyme concentration increases, it is switched to the enzyme catalyst to improve the degradation efficiency.
