Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of intelligent medical care and data processing, specifically to a multi-parameter thromboelastography instrument for assessing coagulation function in animals. Background Technology
[0002] Coagulation function assessment is an important test in clinical medicine and veterinary medicine, used to determine the balance between the blood coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. It is crucial for surgical risk assessment, diagnosis of hemorrhagic diseases, and monitoring of anticoagulation therapy. Traditional coagulation function tests, such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and platelet count, only provide single static parameters of the coagulation process and cannot comprehensively reflect the dynamic changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis. Thromboelastography (TEG) technology can monitor the entire coagulation process in real time, including coagulation initiation, clot formation, stability, and fibrinolytic status, and therefore has been widely used in human medicine. However, in the veterinary field, due to the special characteristics of animal blood samples (such as differences in coagulation mechanisms among different species, sample size limitations, and testing environment requirements), existing TEG equipment still has significant limitations in terms of sensitivity, anti-interference ability, and adaptability.
[0003] Currently, thromboelastography (TEG) instruments on the market are mainly based on mechanical or optical detection principles. Mechanical TEG measures torque changes through the physical coupling of a metal probe and the blood clot, but it is susceptible to mechanical vibration and temperature fluctuations, leading to decreased detection accuracy. Optical TEG relies on optical sensors to monitor blood clot formation, but it is sensitive to sample transparency and ambient light, and it is difficult to achieve nanometer-level displacement detection. In addition, the coagulation characteristics of animal blood samples differ significantly from those of humans. For example, canines typically have shorter clotting times, while platelet function in cats may be significantly affected by disease. Existing equipment lacks intelligent analysis algorithms and dynamic calibration mechanisms for different species, resulting in insufficient reliability of the test results.
[0004] In terms of signal processing, traditional TEG instruments employ relatively simple data processing methods, typically using peak detection or mean filtering with fixed thresholds. This makes them ill-suited to handling noise interference (such as motion artifacts, electromagnetic interference, or temperature drift) in complex blood sample signals. Furthermore, the extraction of coagulation parameters (such as R-value and MA value) often relies on manual interpretation, resulting in low automation and a lack of intelligent retesting mechanisms for abnormal signals, thus impacting detection efficiency. In clinical applications, veterinarians typically need to combine multiple test data points and experience for comprehensive judgment; however, existing equipment offers limited data visualization and lacks multi-dimensional interactive analysis capabilities, hindering rapid decision-making. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention aims to provide a multi-parameter thromboelastography instrument for assessing animal coagulation function. The instrument includes a magnetic levitation drive and sensing module, a multi-dimensional signal processing module, a species characteristic database module, a dynamic calibration and quality control module, an artificial intelligence decision-making module, and a multi-modal interactive output module. The magnetic levitation drive and sensing module achieves nanometer-level displacement monitoring and high-precision suspension control of the probe through an electromagnetic drive unit, a displacement detection unit, and a temperature compensation unit. The blood sample container is made of medical-grade polymer material and undergoes hydrophobic treatment. The multi-dimensional signal processing module, through a composite algorithm architecture and adaptive parameter adjustment technology, achieves high-frequency acquisition and digital filtering of coagulation signals. Wavelength and feature extraction ensure the detection accuracy of R-value and MA-value parameters. The species feature database module adopts a hierarchical storage architecture to manage coagulation parameters of multiple species, supporting dynamic correction and expert rule integration. The dynamic calibration and quality control module ensures system stability through a three-level joint control mechanism, including real-time calibration, periodic detection, and anomaly self-repair. The artificial intelligence decision module analyzes coagulation status based on a hybrid neural network architecture, providing risk assessment and medication suggestions. The multimodal interactive output module dynamically presents the test results through an intelligent visualization engine and supports interactive operation. This system has high sensitivity, anti-interference, and cross-species adaptability, meeting the clinical needs of animal coagulation function assessment.
[0006] Furthermore, the magnetic levitation drive and sensing module includes an electromagnetic drive unit, a displacement detection unit, and a temperature compensation unit. The electromagnetic drive unit consists of a ring-shaped electromagnetic coil array, which generates a levitation magnetic field through current control to achieve stable probe levitation. The current control uses a digital-to-analog converter to control the levitation accuracy. The displacement detection unit integrates a differential Hall sensor and optical interferometry technology to monitor the nanometer-level displacement changes of the probe inside the blood sample container in real time. The optical interferometry technology is based on the principle of white light interference and is equipped with a broadband light source and a spectrometer. The temperature compensation unit adopts a closed-loop feedback mechanism to eliminate the influence of ambient temperature fluctuations on detection accuracy, supports programmable sampling rate adjustment to meet different detection needs, and its temperature adaptation range covers conventional laboratory environments. The blood sample container is made of medical-grade polymer material, and its inner surface is treated with plasma treatment and a hydrophobic coating to reduce blood adhesion. The magnetic levitation drive and sensing module supports multiple preset detection modes and can be upgraded online through a standard interface.
[0007] Furthermore, the multi-dimensional signal processing module has signal acquisition, digital filtering, and feature extraction functions, as detailed below:

The processing results can be transmitted, displayed and stored in real time, and an interface for exporting raw data is provided for subsequent analysis.
[0014] Furthermore, the multi-dimensional signal processing module employs a composite algorithm architecture to process coagulation signals, first constructing a constraint variational function:

The periodic quality control detection is automatically executed according to a preset schedule, and the quality control rules adopt the Westgard multi-rule interpretation system.

The second-level network evaluates platelet function. The input layer integrates MA values, the hidden layer uses a radial basis function network, and the output layer generates a platelet activity score.
[0029] The outputs of the three sub-networks are integrated through a weighted voting module, with the weights dynamically adjusted according to the animal species, to ultimately generate a coagulation risk assessment index (0-10 points) and medication recommendations.
[0030] Furthermore, the feature extraction network is constructed as a multi-scale convolutional attention model, and the convolution operation is defined as... ,in This represents a convolution operation, where k is the kernel type index of the current operation, and K is the total number of multi-scale convolution kernel types. For activation function, For convolutional layer bias terms, It is a three-dimensional convolution kernel weight matrix, including three scales: 3×3, 5×5, and 7×7. , , For parallel multi-scale convolution kernels, an improved dual-channel mechanism is used for attention weight calculation. ,in For convolutional features, For time-series difference features, This is the attention weight matrix.

The similarity function is used to balance various losses through an adaptive weight adjustment strategy.
[0034] Furthermore, the multimodal interactive output module uses an intelligent visualization engine to realize the multi-dimensional presentation of the detection results. The core display interface integrates dynamic TEG curves, two-dimensional parameter radar charts, and risk level dashboards. The dynamic TEG curve drawing adopts anti-aliasing rendering technology, supports gesture-controlled zooming and panning operations, and provides touch query function in the key parameter area. Long-pressing any point can display the detailed parameter values at that moment.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In the field of animal coagulation function testing, traditional methods have many limitations. This invention effectively solves these problems through technological innovation. The closed-loop feedback mechanism of the temperature compensation unit further eliminates the influence of environmental fluctuations, enabling the system to obtain reliable test data under normal laboratory conditions. At the signal processing level, traditional methods rely on fixed thresholds or simple filtering algorithms, which are difficult to cope with the complex noise interference of animal blood samples. This invention develops an adaptive algorithm system based on constrained variational mode decomposition. By constructing a special variational function and introducing Lagrange multipliers, the algorithm can accurately decompose the intrinsic mode components in the coagulation signal. It innovatively combines Hilbert transform with dynamic threshold detection, significantly improving the accuracy of R-value determination. For the calculation of MA value, a strategy combining sliding window energy analysis and parametric modeling is adopted. By adjusting the window size and morphological correction coefficient in real time, stable test results are ensured in blood samples from different species. This keeps the coefficient of variation of key coagulation parameters below 3%, which is superior to traditional methods. The hybrid neural network architecture constructed in this invention integrates the advantages of convolutional neural networks, gated recurrent units, and expert systems. The multi-scale convolutional attention mechanism can extract more discriminative features from the original signal, while the introduction of spatiotemporal memory units effectively captures the dynamic evolution of the coagulation process. The hierarchical voting mechanism, through independent analysis of coagulation factor activity and platelet function followed by dynamic weighted fusion, makes the final coagulation risk assessment more scientific and reliable. This architecture not only improves diagnostic accuracy but also provides personalized medication recommendations based on specific animal species. This invention sets a new technical standard for animal coagulation function assessment and has broad application prospects in veterinary clinical practice and scientific research.
