Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an artificial intelligence-based electronic chest belt for use after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. Background Art

[0002] Medical devices are instruments, equipment, apparatus, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibrators, materials, and other similar or related items, including required computer software, intended for direct or indirect use on the human body. Medical devices include both medical equipment and medical consumables that are primarily obtained through physical means, rather than pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic methods, or where these methods are involved but only in a supporting role.

[0003] Patients who undergo thoracic and cardiovascular surgery (including open-chest surgery and minimally invasive surgery) often face problems such as postoperative pain, limited respiratory function, difficulty expectoration, and reduced chest stability. First, traditional chest belts are made of relatively rigid materials and have poor breathability. Long-term wearing can easily lead to skin discomfort, compression injuries, and allergic reactions. They cannot adapt to the patient's postoperative chest changes and have limited fixation effects. Second, traditional chest belts only have mechanical fixation functions and cannot monitor the patient's postoperative biological signals. Existing single monitoring devices usually require additional electrodes or external devices, which is inconvenient for patients to wear daily after surgery. Finally, traditional chest belts cannot be intelligently adjusted according to the postoperative recovery of different patients. Manual adjustment of the fixation strength is required, which affects the rehabilitation effect. Postoperative complications (such as hypoventilation, sternal instability, and atelectasis) are difficult to warn early, and patients need to seek medical attention frequently.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an artificial intelligence-based electronic chest belt for use after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an artificial intelligence-based electronic chest belt for use after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, which has the advantages of high-quality materials, comprehensive monitoring, and intelligent adjustment, and solves the problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an artificial intelligence-based electronic chest belt for use after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1: The sensor array embedded in the chest strap detects the patient's respiratory mechanics and vital signs in real time; the embedded sensor array collects 30-60 seconds of signals in real time, and transmits the sensor sequence signals to the AI ​​intelligent analysis platform through the Bluetooth device. The AI ​​data processing platform system comprehensively analyzes the wearer's physical indicators and obtains a real-time wearer's smart health report. The doctor monitors the wearer's physical condition by viewing the wearer's smart health report online, and the wearer can also view his or her own smart health report on the platform; the chest strap embedded sensor includes embedded biosensor monitoring (tannic pressure sensor, tannic stress sensor, respiratory detection sensor, tannic The AI ​​intelligent processing module has different processing strategies and methods for the signals transmitted by different sensors. For the sweat sensor detector, the sweat buffer layer in the tanned leather effectively completes the enrichment and discharge of sweat, and realizes the characteristic index detection of sweat sodium, potassium, chloride ions and pH value, and uploads the various ion indicators in sweat to the AI ​​intelligent analysis platform, and records the various indicators as clinical indicators for doctors' reference; the tanned ECG monitoring device uses functional leather to achieve better ECG (ECG) signal acquisition than commercial hydrogel electrodes, among which the heart rhythm, heart rate and ECG are detected. Figure 3 ECG signals, these three signals are analyzed by the ECG signal classification feedback module, and because the breathing amplitude and coughing amplitude will show the wearer's chest movement, the pressure sensor of the strap detects the coughing strength and breathing amplitude, and rapid breathing will cause changes in heart rate, so the AI ​​module will also judge the wearer's breathing condition based on the ECG signal, and perform mechanical assisted breathing, thermal insulation perception and intervention treatment on the patient based on the above signal AI analysis.

[0008] S2: The real-time signal received by the sensor is transmitted to the specially designed ECG-ai monitoring module.

[0009] S3: The ECG signal denoising module is designed to address the ECG signal contamination problem caused by the trunk activities of the smart harness wearer in daily life.

[0010] S4: The wavelet transform convolution block uses two sets of convolutional layers instead of traditional filters. The input ECG signal is first calculated by the first convolution layer. Subsequently, another set of convolutional layers with exactly the same structure is orthogonalized by inverting the convolution kernel and taking the interval negation. In addition, large convolution kernels are generated by inserting zeros into small convolution kernels, similar to the effect of dilated convolution. Only one set of convolution kernels in the entire wavelet transform convolution block needs to be trained, and the rest of the convolution kernels are generated by this set of convolution kernels, which greatly reduces the number of convolution parameters.

[0011] S5: Obtain the denoised ECG signal and use the R-peak location method based on Shannon energy to determine the R-peak position in the signal. By detecting the R-wave peak, determine the start and end times of the heartbeat and calculate the heart rate. If the heart rate is higher than the standard value, the strap will sound an alarm to notify the doctor. At the same time, by analyzing the changes in the RR interval, the respiratory rate is calculated.

[0012] S6: With the R peak as the center, the signal is divided into data segments with a length of 360, and the R peak interval is added as auxiliary information. Then, the three consecutive signal segments are used as inputs of the classification module respectively, ensuring that each input contains a complete heartbeat cycle and fully utilizes the contextual information of the ECG signal.

[0013] S7: The input of the rhythm classification feedback module is three consecutive ECG segments centered on the R peak: input1, input2, and input3. First, the CNN block is used to perform preliminary feature extraction on the signal to shorten the signal length. Next, a bidirectional Transformer (BiTrans) is used to capture the temporal relationship in the features and use the information of the waveforms of the previous and next ECG segments to learn the temporal dependency between the signals. An inversion mechanism is introduced in the feature map to generate an additional input containing an inverse sequence of spatial information. This enables the model to consider the contextual information of the previous and next ECG segments when predicting a specific position. By combining the outputs of these two directions, richer contextual understanding is achieved, effectively capturing the complex relationships in the input sequence. The three input signals are linearly projected into the query, key, and value matrices of each head:

[0014]

[0015] in, and is the query, key, and value matrix of the h-th head. Similarly, and is the learnable weight parameter matrix of the h-th head, and then the self-attention mechanism of each head is applied as follows:

[0016]

[0017] where d k for The multi-head attention mechanism is obtained by concatenating the operation results of all h heads and applying another linear mapping to obtain the final multi-head attention output

[0018] MHA(f input1 , f input2 , f input3 )=Concat(A 1 ,..,AH )·W o (3)

[0020] Among them, MHA(f input1 , f input2 , f input3 ) represents the multi-head self-attention output, W O The weight parameter matrix representing the output of the multi-head attention is then inverted to consider both past and future tokens, implementing a bidirectional Transformer as follows:

[0021] f rev [i,j]=x[i,dj-1] (4)

[0023] Among them, the range of i is 0, 1, ..., N-1, the range of j is 0, 1, ..., d-1;

[0024] The output of the bidirectional Transformer layer is as follows:

[0025]

[0026] The encoder is composed of a stack of identical layers, each with two sublayers, namely the multi-head self-attention mechanism and the fully connected feed-forward network, which processes the input data f in sequence. That is, the i-th layer includes the operations expressed by equations (5) to (9), capturing increasingly abstract and contextual representations;

[0027] The output of each layer in the bidirectional Transformer is used as the input of the next layer, so that complex patterns can be gradually extracted. The final output of the bidirectional Transformer network is represented as BiTrans(f);

[0028] BiTrans(f)=Layer L (Layer L-1 (...(Layer1(f)…)) (6)

[0030] S8: After the bidirectional Transformer output, the obtained feature vector is put into the classifier for classification. Because the cardiac cycle waveform lacks information about the R peak interval, which plays an important role in determining the ECG type, the four R peak intervals closest to the middle R peak are normalized into features, concatenated with the features extracted in the cardiac cycle, and input into the fully connected layer. The final classification result is output through the softmax function, and the ECG data is classified into five common heart rhythms: normal sinus rhythm, atrial tachycardia, bigeminy, tripeminy, and ventricular premature beats.

[0031] S9: The loss function used by the denoising module needs to retain the peak values ​​of different ECG waveforms as much as possible during the denoising process. Therefore, a peak coefficient is added to the traditional covariance MSE loss function to give higher weights to points closer to the peak value. The peak coefficient C p And the improved MSE loss function L d As shown below:

[0032] C p =1+abs(X c -median(X c )) (7)

[0034]

[0035] Where, ° represents the element-by-element multiplication of the matrix, N represents the signal length, X c Indicates a clean signal, Xd

[0036] represents the denoised signal.

[0037] S10: The loss function of the classification module is to deal with the problem of imbalanced ECG signal sample categories. The focus loss function is used, and its formula is as follows

[0038] L c =-a(1-y p ) γ log(y p ) (9)

[0040] Among them, y p is the probability of correct prediction, γ is (1-y p ) enhancement factor, the more difficult the sample is to distinguish, (1-y p )γ is larger, α is the weight of small samples;

[0041] If the classification module detects abnormal ECG, heartbeat, respiration and body temperature signals, it will issue an alarm and notify the doctor in time.

[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the ECG-ai monitoring module consists of two parts: an ECG signal denoising module and a heart rhythm classification feedback module.

[0043] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the ECG signal denoising module adopts a design similar to a U-shaped network structure, and introduces a stationary wavelet transform of a convolution structure in the denoising process, which is called a wavelet transform convolution block.

[0044] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S5, if the patient's breathing rate is abnormal, the smart harness will automatically strengthen the expectoration mode and issue an alarm to notify the doctor.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S7, input1, input2 and input3 are provided by a denoising module, which utilizes the waveform correlation of each cardiac cycle and combines the contextual information between cardiac cycles to improve the accuracy of disease diagnosis.

[0046] Beneficial effects: The technical solution of this application has the following technical effects: the present invention has the advantages of high-quality materials, comprehensive monitoring, and intelligent adjustment. It adopts tanned electronic materials, that is, highly flexible, highly breathable, and biodegradable intelligent materials to ensure comfort and safety for long-term wearing. The material has adaptive adjustment characteristics and can be dynamically adjusted according to the patient's postoperative recovery to ensure optimal chest support, improve wearing comfort, reduce skin allergies and compression injuries, enhance biocompatibility, and is suitable for long-term rehabilitation wear. It intelligently adapts to postoperative changes and provides support that better meets the patient's needs; secondly, a flexible biosensor is integrated inside the chest strap, which can non-invasively measure key physiological parameters such as respiratory rate, chest expansion, heart rate, blood oxygen, and skin temperature. A flexible strain sensor is used to detect the patient's chest movement in real time, analyze postoperative recovery, and transmit data wirelessly. It can be synchronized to the doctor's or patient's app for remote monitoring, real-time monitoring of postoperative physiological indicators, and improved accuracy of postoperative management. The flexible design fits comfortably on the skin, reducing the discomfort of traditional electrodes. The wireless data connection allows doctors to remotely monitor the patient's recovery status. Finally, the AI ​​algorithm combines the patient's real-time physiological data (such as breathing depth and chest expansion) to automatically adjust the support strength of the chest strap to optimize the rehabilitation experience. Based on big data analysis, AI identifies postoperative abnormalities (such as hypoventilation, pneumothorax, and postoperative atelectasis) and issues an alert to the doctor or patient. Based on the patient's recovery progress, AI analyzes the above signals and implements mechanical assisted breathing, thermal insulation perception, and intervention treatment. AI can recommend different wearing modes (such as nighttime tightness mode and exercise mode) to improve rehabilitation efficiency. It intelligently adapts to the needs of different patients and reduces the tediousness of manual adjustments. Postoperative risk warnings improve patient safety, personalized recovery management, and shorten the rehabilitation cycle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

According to the above signal AI analysis, mechanical assisted breathing, thermal insulation perception and intervention treatment are performed on the patient; S2: The real-time signals received by the sensor are transmitted to a specially designed biological AI monitoring module; S3: ECG signal denoising module is designed to address the ECG signal contamination problem caused by the trunk movements of the smart harness wearer in daily life; S4: The wavelet transform convolution block uses two sets of convolutional layers instead of traditional filters. The input ECG signal is first calculated by the first convolution layer. Then, another set of convolutional layers with exactly the same structure is orthogonalized by inverting the convolution kernel and taking the interval negation. In addition, large convolution kernels are generated by inserting zeros into small convolution kernels, similar to the effect of dilated convolution. Only one set of convolution kernels in the entire wavelet transform convolution block needs to be trained, and the rest of the convolution kernels are generated by this set of convolution kernels, which greatly reduces the number of convolution parameters. S5: Obtain the denoised ECG signal and use the R-peak location method based on Shannon energy to determine the R-peak position in the signal. By detecting the R-wave peak, the start and end times of the heartbeat are determined and the heart rate is calculated. If the heart rate is higher than the standard value, the strap will sound an alarm to notify the doctor. At the same time, by analyzing the changes in the R-R interval, the respiratory rate is calculated. S6: Split the signal into data segments of length 360°, centered around the R peak, and add the R peak interval as auxiliary information. Then, the three consecutive signal segments are used as inputs for the classification module, ensuring that each input contains a complete heartbeat cycle and fully utilizes the contextual information of the ECG signal. S7: The input of the rhythm classification feedback module is three consecutive ECG segments centered on the R peak: input1, input2, and input3. First, the CNN block is used to perform preliminary feature extraction on the signal to shorten the signal length. Next, a bidirectional Transformer (BiTrans) is used to capture the temporal relationship in the features and use the information of the waveforms of the previous and next ECG segments to learn the temporal dependency between the signals. An inversion mechanism is introduced in the feature map to generate an additional input containing an inverse sequence of spatial information. This enables the model to consider the contextual information of the previous and next ECG segments when predicting a specific position. By combining the outputs of these two directions, richer contextual understanding is achieved, effectively capturing the complex relationships in the input sequence. The three input signals are linearly projected into the query, key, and value matrices of each head: in, and is the query, key, and value matrix of the h-th head. Similarly, and is the learnable weight parameter matrix of the h-th head, and then the self-attention mechanism of each head is applied as follows: where d k for The multi-head attention mechanism is obtained by concatenating the results of all h heads and applying another linear mapping to obtain the final multi-head attention output. MHA(f input1 ,f input2 ,f input3 )=Concat(A 1 ,..,A H )·W O (3) Among them, MHA(f input1 , f input2 , f input3 ) represents the multi-head self-attention output, W O The weight parameter matrix representing the output of the multi-head attention is then inverted to consider both past and future tokens, implementing a bidirectional Transformer as follows: f rev [i,j]=x[i,d-j-1] (4) Among them, the range of i is 0, 1, ..., N-1, the range of j is 0, 1, ..., d-1; The output of the bidirectional Transformer layer is as follows: The encoder is composed of a stack of identical layers, each with two sublayers, namely the multi-head self-attention mechanism and the fully connected feed-forward network, which processes the input data f in sequence. That is, the i-th layer includes the operations expressed by equations (5) to (9), capturing increasingly abstract and contextual representations; The output of each layer in the bidirectional Transformer is used as the input of the next layer, so that complex patterns can be gradually extracted. The final output of the bidirectional Transformer network is represented as BiTrans(f); BiTrans(f)=Layer L (Layer L-1 (...(Layer1(f))...))(6) S8: After the bidirectional Transformer output, the obtained feature vector is put into the classifier for classification. Because the cardiac cycle waveform lacks information about the R peak interval, which plays an important role in determining the ECG type, the four R peak intervals closest to the middle R peak are normalized as features, concatenated with the features extracted from the cardiac cycle, and input into the fully connected layer. The final classification result is output through the softmax function, and the ECG data is classified into five common rhythms: normal sinus rhythm, atrial tachycardia, bigeminy, tripeminy, and ventricular premature beats; S9: The loss function used by the denoising module needs to retain the peak values ​​of different ECG waveforms as much as possible during the denoising process. Therefore, a peak coefficient is added to the traditional covariance MSE loss function to give higher weights to points closer to the peak value. The peak coefficient C p And the improved MSE loss function L d As shown below: C p =1+abs(X c -median(X c ))(7) Among them, represents the element-by-element multiplication of the matrix, N represents the signal length, X c Indicates a clean signal, X d represents the denoised signal; S10: The loss function of the classification module is to deal with the problem of imbalanced ECG signal sample categories. The focus loss function is used, and its formula is as follows L c =-a(1-y p ) γ log(y p )(9) Among them, y p is the probability of correct prediction, γ is (1-y p ), the more difficult the sample is to distinguish, the larger (1-yp)γ is, and α is the weight of the small sample; If the classification module detects abnormal ECG, heartbeat, respiration and body temperature signals, it will issue an alarm and notify the doctor in time.
