Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a portable biofeedback device for patients with constipation. Background Technology

[0002] Constipation is a common digestive problem that causes many discomforts and seriously affects the quality of life. Traditional treatments for constipation often have limited effectiveness and lack personalized training and feedback mechanisms. Biofeedback therapy, as an emerging treatment method, transforms imperceptible physiological signals within the body into intuitive visual or auditory signals, allowing patients to actively perceive and regulate their own physiological functions, thereby achieving the goal of treatment.

[0003] Existing constipation treatment devices have significant drawbacks in several aspects. Drug treatment is prone to dependence and side effects, posing a potential threat to patients' health. Among physical therapy devices, traditional biofeedback therapy is bulky and complex to operate, requiring patients to undergo treatment in hospitals or other locations, resulting in poor flexibility and an inability to meet the needs of daily, on-the-go training. In terms of data collection, it is not accurate or comprehensive enough to fully reflect the activity of the rectal and anal muscles. Its analysis and processing functions are limited, failing to provide personalized training plans based on individual patient differences and real-time conditions, leading to unsatisfactory treatment results and low patient compliance.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable biofeedback device for constipation patients to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable biofeedback device for constipation patients, which has the advantages of high portability, intelligent analysis and personalized training, data synchronization and remote support, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a portable biofeedback device for constipation patients, comprising: a catheter and a main unit, wherein the left end of the catheter is connected to a rectal simulation balloon, an anal sphincter sensing balloon is disposed on the surface of the catheter, a piezoelectric micropump I is disposed on the right side of the top of the catheter surface, one end of the piezoelectric micropump I is connected to the catheter, the other end of the piezoelectric micropump I is connected to a water tank, an inner tube is disposed in the inner cavity of the catheter, one end of the inner tube extends to the outside of the catheter and is connected to a piezoelectric micropump II, several air vents are opened on the right side of the catheter surface, the air vents are connected to the anal sphincter sensing balloon, several micro water outlets are opened on the left side of the catheter surface, and eight micro water outlets are embedded in the surface of the catheter.

[0007] The host includes a multi-channel high-speed data acquisition module, an embedded AI processing unit, and a graphics module.

[0008] The multi-channel high-speed data acquisition module receives and processes high-frequency pressure signals from the miniature pressure sensor in real time.

[0009] The embedded AI processing unit includes an adaptive microfluidic control module and a collaborative dynamic evaluation module.

[0010] The adaptive microfluidic control module dynamically adjusts the output power of the piezoelectric micropump and the opening and closing of different water outlets and the flow distribution based on real-time pressure data, training phase, and patient history.

[0011] The collaborative dynamic evaluation module comprehensively analyzes the thrust of the rectal simulated airbag, the relaxation degree of the anal sphincter sensing airbag, and the pressure of the miniature pressure sensor.

[0012] The main unit is electrically connected to a mobile app via Bluetooth.

[0013] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a circular tube is provided on the left side of the rectal simulated airbag, and the left side of the circular tube is set in an arc shape.

[0014] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the catheter is made of medical-grade silicone material and has a diameter of 8-10 mm.

[0015] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mobile APP is electrically connected to the host, and the host is electrically connected to the rectal simulation airbag, the anal sphincter sensing airbag, the piezoelectric micropump one, the piezoelectric micropump two, and the micro pressure sensor.

[0016] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main unit is palm-sized, ergonomically designed for comfortable grip, and has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery.

[0017] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the graphical module includes a collaborative windmill module, a target-driven gamification module, and a real-time voice guidance module; the collaborative windmill module presents deep muscle coordination in a visual windmill format; the target-driven gamification module enhances training compliance through game mechanics; and the real-time voice guidance module provides contextualized voice feedback to compensate for the limitations of visual interaction.

[0018] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mobile APP has a built-in application that includes personalized training plans, immersive guided tutorials, data synchronization, and remote support. The personalized training plans can be tailored to the patient's specific situation, such as the type and severity of constipation, and physical condition. The immersive guided tutorials provide patients with detailed training guidance through videos, animations, and other formats. With data synchronization and remote support, patients can view their training data and historical records on the mobile APP to understand their training effects and progress.

[0019] This invention discloses a method for using a portable biofeedback device for patients with constipation, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1: Insert the round tube into the patient's anus. As the catheter and rectal simulated balloon gradually enter the body, the muscle activity around the patient's rectum and anus will generate pressure changes in the catheter. Eight miniature pressure sensors monitor these pressure changes in real time. There are eight miniature pressure sensors, corresponding to different depths and orientations of the pelvic floor muscle groups. At the same time, the rectal simulated balloon senses the thrust in the rectum, and the anal sphincter sensing balloon senses the contraction and relaxation state of the anal sphincter. When the patient uses this biofeedback device, the muscle activity around the rectum and anus will generate pressure changes in the catheter. The multi-channel high-speed data acquisition module receives signals from the miniature pressure sensors, rectal simulated balloon, and anal sphincter sensing balloon in real time. Step Two: The multi-channel high-speed data acquisition module transmits the acquired signals to the embedded AI processing unit of the host computer via electrical connection. The host computer, rectal simulation balloon, anal sphincter sensing balloon, piezoelectric micropump one, piezoelectric micropump two, and miniature pressure sensor are all electrically connected to ensure accurate and timely signal transmission. The adaptive microfluidic control module in the embedded AI processing unit dynamically adjusts the output power of piezoelectric micropump one and piezoelectric micropump two based on real-time pressure data, training stage, and patient's historical performance. For example, in the early stages of training, if the patient's anal sphincter contraction is relatively tense, the adaptive microfluidic control module will reduce the output power of the piezoelectric micropumps and reduce the water output from the miniature water outlets to alleviate the patient's pressure. As training progresses, the output power and water output are gradually increased according to the patient's progress, helping the patient gradually adapt and improve defecation function. The collaborative dynamic assessment module comprehensively analyzes the rectal simulation balloon, anal sphincter sensing balloon, piezoelectric micropump one, piezoelectric micropump two, and miniature pressure sensor to ensure accurate and timely signal transmission. The push force of the intestinal simulated airbag, the relaxation degree of the anal sphincter sensing airbag, and the pressure of the micro pressure sensor are used to determine the coordination between the patient's rectum and anal sphincter. The results are fed back to the adaptive microfluidic control module and the graphical module. For example, if the push force of the rectal simulated airbag is large, but the relaxation degree of the anal sphincter sensing airbag is insufficient, it indicates that the patient may have an excessive contraction of the anal sphincter during defecation, leading to difficulty in defecation. The synergistic dynamic assessment module will feed this result back to the adaptive microfluidic control module and the graphical module for corresponding adjustments and display. Step 3: The Coordination Windmill Module presents deep muscle coordination in the form of a visual windmill. When the patient's rectal and anal sphincter coordination is good, the windmill will rotate normally; if coordination problems occur, the windmill's rotation speed and direction will change. This method solves the problem of traditional waveform diagrams being abstract and difficult to understand, allowing patients to intuitively understand their muscle coordination. The Target Push Gamification Module improves training compliance through game mechanics. A target push value is set, and patients need to adjust their own muscle activity to make the push of the rectal simulated airbag reach or exceed the target value. In the process of reaching the target, patients can obtain game rewards and points, increasing the fun and motivation of training. The Real-Time Voice Guidance Module provides contextual voice feedback to compensate for the limitations of visual interaction. Based on the patient's training status and assessment results, the real-time voice guidance module will issue corresponding voice prompts, such as "relax the anal sphincter" and "increase abdominal pressure," to guide the patient to perform the correct training movements. Step 4: Based on the signal processing and analysis results, the adaptive microfluidic control module controls the operation of piezoelectric micropump 1 and piezoelectric micropump 2. Piezoelectric micropump 1 draws water from the tank into the conduit and sprays it out through the micro-outlet to simulate the process of fecal excretion. Piezoelectric micropump 2 adjusts the pressure and flow rate in the conduit through the inner tube to further optimize the simulation effect. By dynamically adjusting the output power and flow distribution of the piezoelectric micropump, the simulation and training of the patient's defecation function can be achieved. The main unit connects electrically to a mobile app via Bluetooth, synchronizing collected data and analysis results to the app. The app includes built-in applications such as personalized training plans, immersive guided tutorials, data synchronization, and remote support. Personalized training plans are tailored to each patient's specific situation, such as constipation type, severity, and physical condition. These plans are dynamically adjusted based on the patient's progress and feedback to ensure effectiveness and relevance. Immersive guided tutorials provide detailed instruction through videos and animations, allowing patients to access them anytime on the app to learn correct usage methods and training techniques. Data synchronization and remote support allow patients to view their training data and historical records on the app, understanding their training effects and progress. Simultaneously, doctors can remotely access patient data to provide remote support and guidance, adjusting the training plan as needed.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The technical solution of this application has the following technical effects: This invention has the advantages of high portability, intelligent analysis and personalized training, data synchronization and remote support.

[0021] The biofeedback device of this invention is palm-sized and ergonomically designed for easy handling. It has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, allowing patients to carry and use it anytime, anywhere without having to go to hospitals or other specialized locations. This greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of treatment and saves patients time and money.

[0022] Accurate and comprehensive data collection: Through eight miniature pressure sensors corresponding to different depths and orientations of the pelvic floor muscle groups, combined with rectal simulation airbags and anal sphincter sensing airbags, it can comprehensively and accurately collect pressure data on the activity of the patient's rectum and perianal muscles, providing a reliable basis for subsequent analysis and processing, and helping to more accurately assess the patient's condition and develop personalized training programs.

[0023] Intelligent Analysis and Personalized Training: The embedded AI processing unit's adaptive microfluidic control module and collaborative dynamic evaluation module can intelligently analyze real-time data, training stages, and patient history to dynamically adjust the output power of the piezoelectric micropump and the opening and closing of the outlet and flow distribution, achieving personalized training feedback. A graphical module presents the training progress intuitively, and through gamification and real-time voice guidance, it improves patient compliance and engagement, enhancing training effectiveness.

[0024] Data Synchronization and Remote Support: Connecting to a mobile app via Bluetooth enables real-time data synchronization and remote sharing. Patients can view their training data and historical records on the app to understand their training effectiveness and progress. Doctors can remotely access patient data to provide timely remote support and guidance, adjust training plans, and improve the timeliness and effectiveness of treatment.

[0025] Safe and comfortable: The catheter is made of medical-grade silicone with a moderate diameter. The round tube on the left side of the rectal simulated balloon is set in an arc shape. These designs fully consider the safety and comfort of patients, reduce the discomfort of patients during use, and improve patient acceptance. Attached Figure Description

After the catheter (1) and rectal simulated airbag (2) gradually enter the body, the muscle activity around the patient's rectum and anus will cause pressure changes on the catheter. Eight miniature pressure sensors (10) monitor these pressure changes in real time. There are eight miniature pressure sensors (10), corresponding to different depths and orientations of the pelvic floor muscle groups. At the same time, the rectal simulated airbag (2) senses the thrust in the rectum, and the anal sphincter sensing airbag (3) senses the contraction and relaxation state of the anal sphincter. When the patient uses this biofeedback device, the muscle activity around the rectum and anus will cause pressure changes on the catheter (1). The multi-channel high-speed data acquisition module receives signals from the miniature pressure sensors (10), rectal simulated airbag (2) and anal sphincter sensing airbag (3) in real time. Step 2: The multi-channel high-speed data acquisition module transmits the acquired signals to the embedded AI processing unit of the host via electrical connection. The host and the rectal simulation balloon (2), anal sphincter sensing balloon (3), piezoelectric micropump one (4), piezoelectric micropump two (7), and micro pressure sensor (10) are all electrically connected to ensure that the signals can be transmitted accurately and in a timely manner. The adaptive microfluidic control module in the embedded AI processing unit dynamically adjusts the output power of piezoelectric micropump one (5) and piezoelectric micropump two (7) according to real-time pressure data, training stage, and patient history. For example, in the early stage of training, if the patient's anal sphincter contraction is relatively tense, the adaptive microfluidic control module will reduce the output power of the piezoelectric micropump and reduce the water output of the micro water outlet (9) to reduce the pressure on the patient. As the training progresses, the output power and water output are gradually increased according to the patient's progress to help the patient gradually adapt to and improve defecation function. The collaborative dynamic evaluation module comprehensively analyzes the rectal simulation The thrust of the airbag (2), the relaxation degree of the anal sphincter sensing airbag (3), and the pressure of the micro pressure sensor (10) are used to determine the coordination between the patient's rectum and anal sphincter. The results are fed back to the adaptive microfluidic control module and the graphical module. For example, if the thrust of the rectal simulation airbag (2) is large, but the relaxation degree of the anal sphincter sensing airbag (3) is insufficient, it indicates that the patient may have excessive contraction of the anal sphincter during defecation, resulting in difficulty in defecation. The synergistic dynamic assessment module will feed back this result to the adaptive microfluidic control module and the graphical module for corresponding adjustments and display. Step 3: The collaborative windmill module presents the coordination of deep muscle groups in the form of a visual windmill. When the patient's rectal and anal sphincter muscles are in good coordination, the windmill will rotate normally. If coordination is impaired, the speed and direction of the windmill's rotation will change. This method solves the problem of the abstract and difficult-to-understand nature of traditional waveform diagrams, allowing patients to intuitively understand their muscle coordination. The target thrust gamification module improves training compliance through game mechanics. A target thrust value is set, and patients need to adjust their own muscle activity to make the thrust of the rectal simulated airbag (2) reach or exceed the target value. In the process of reaching the target, patients can obtain game rewards and points, increasing the fun and motivation of training. The real-time voice guidance module provides contextual voice feedback to make up for the limitations of visual interaction.

Step 4: Based on the results of signal processing and analysis, the adaptive microfluidic control module controls the operation of piezoelectric micropump 1 (4) and piezoelectric micropump 2 (7). Piezoelectric micropump 1 (4) draws water from the water tank (5) into the conduit (1) and sprays it out through the micro water outlet (9) to simulate the process of excretion of feces. Piezoelectric micropump 2 (7) adjusts the pressure and flow rate in the conduit (6) through the inner tube to further optimize the simulation effect. By dynamically adjusting the output power and flow rate distribution of the piezoelectric micropump, the simulation and training of the patient's defecation function can be realized. The main unit connects electrically to a mobile app via Bluetooth, synchronizing collected data and analysis results to the app. The app includes built-in applications such as personalized training plans, immersive guided tutorials, data synchronization, and remote support. Personalized training plans are tailored to each patient's specific situation, such as constipation type, severity, and physical condition. These plans are dynamically adjusted based on the patient's progress and feedback to ensure effectiveness and relevance. Immersive guided tutorials provide detailed instruction through videos and animations, allowing patients to access them anytime on the app to learn correct usage methods and training techniques. Data synchronization and remote support allow patients to view their training data and historical records on the app, understanding their training effects and progress. Simultaneously, doctors can remotely access patient data to provide remote support and guidance, adjusting the training plan as needed.
