Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sleep detection device, in particular to a physiological data detection device during sleep, and a sleep detection data collection platform and a sleep quality analysis system using the device. Background Art

[0002] Recently, sleep quality has become an important topic in health. Many experts believe that maintaining good sleep quality helps maintain health and prevent diseases. But many people do have different types and degrees of sleep disorders.

[0003] Sleep disorders refer to sleep quantity or quality that exceeds the standard range, or clinical symptoms occur during sleep, such as sleepwalking, apnea, etc. Among them, sleep apnea (SAHS) is the most dangerous sleep disorder. Clinical studies have shown that sleep apnea can have adverse effects on the human body's mental and cardiovascular aspects. The existing technology monitors sleep quality through a multiple physiological parameter detector (Polysomnography, PSG), obtains test data, and proposes improvement or treatment plans based on it.

[0004] The difficulty in detecting sleep quality is that the patient is asleep for a considerable period of time during the detection period. During the detection period, the multiple physiological parameter detector frequently detects the values ​​of parameters related to sleep structure and sleep breathing events; in order to record the parameters, multiple electrodes need to be attached and connected to the patient. Under traditional technology, obtaining descriptive values ​​of sleep structure usually requires simultaneous measurement of multiple EEG signals, two electrooculogram signals, and one chin muscle signal. Detecting sleep breathing events requires simultaneous measurement of physiological signals such as the patient's oral and nasal airflow, chest breathing, abdominal breathing, and blood oxygen. A large number of electrodes, wires, and instruments cause patients to bear a heavy physiological and psychological burden. Not only is it difficult to obtain the correct values, it also deters most potential patients from undergoing testing.

[0005] The prior art has proposed various solutions to simplify sleep detection equipment, especially sleep detection devices.

[0006] Patent TW M539910 discloses a physiological characteristic integration device, including a physiological detection module, with multiple detection terminals for detecting multiple physiological signals. The physiological characteristic integration device outputs physiological integration information to a human-machine interface and a communication unit based on multiple physiological signals. The detection terminal includes at least an electrocardiogram detection patch, a temperature patch, a breathing sensor, a blood oxygen concentration sensor, a blood sugar sensor, and a blood pressure sensor.

[0007] Patent publication US20190388024A1 discloses a "device for detecting, evaluating and treating snoring, sleep apnea and sleep hypopnea". The device includes a microphone, a pulse oximeter and an axis accelerometer, which are used to collect physiological information of the user during sleep, send control signals, and record the processing process and results.

[0008] Patent publication CN105748043A discloses a "sleep quality monitoring method and device, wearable device", the device uses a collection sensor to collect physiological characteristic data. The collection sensor includes one or more of the following sensors: an accelerometer sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a magnetometer sensor, an electrocardiogram sensor, and a photoelectric heart rate sensor. The method includes preprocessing the collected physiological characteristic data to obtain at least one piece of sleep characteristic information; and obtaining the user's sleep quality index based on the sleep characteristic information and a pre-established scoring model.

[0009] Patent publication CN104799849A discloses a "portable sleep apnea syndrome monitoring method and device", which includes an electrocardiogram respiration signal detection device and sleep apnea monitoring software. The electrocardiogram respiration signal detection device includes an electrocardiogram lead wire, an electrocardiogram signal detection module, an impedance respiration detection module, an analog / digital conversion circuit, a processor and a wireless transmission module.

[0010] Patent publication CN104257353A discloses a "sleep apnea syndrome detection system", which includes an impedance breathing detection module, an electrocardiogram signal detection module, an acceleration detection module, and an oronasal breathing detection module. The sensors used include a thermistor sensor for detecting oronasal breathing airflow, and a positive electrode and a negative electrode for detecting chest breathing and electrocardiogram signals.

[0011] Patent publication CN102988033A discloses a "device for monitoring breathing and heartbeat during sleep", which includes a sensor unit mounted on an elastic substrate. The sensor unit collects human breathing and heartbeat signals through carbon fiber materials.

[0012] Patent publication CN200987666Y discloses a "portable sleep monitoring device", which includes a single-chip microcomputer and a recording memory electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer. The input end of the single-chip microcomputer is connected to a blood oxygen sensor and a heart rate sensor, and is also provided with a connecting component that can be fixed on the wrist.

[0013] Patent publication CN202589504U discloses a "physiological information detection device for unrestrained sleep", which includes placing a plastic hose filled with water and having a certain degree of softness between two flat plates, adjusting the connecting bolts so that the plastic hose and the two hard plates are clamped tightly, sealing one end of the plastic hose and connecting the other end to a pressure converter to form a sleep information detection sensor device. The water vibration caused by human breathing, heartbeat and snoring is detected to obtain sleep information.

[0014] The sleep monitoring technology that uses ECG signals to convert respiratory monitoring signals is introduced in recent years. One theory is that when a person breathes, the respiratory center in the brain will have a signal spillover to the vascular center in the brain. The spillover signal is fed back through the autonomic nerves (sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves), causing the heart rate and heart contraction force to increase and decrease regularly with the respiratory cycle. Therefore, as long as the arterial blood pressure waveform can be accurately recorded, and then the heart rate changes can be calculated and analyzed, the respiratory frequency and waveform at that time can be converted.

[0015] In addition, the peaks and troughs of arterial blood pressure also rise and fall with the respiratory cycle, which is medically called arterial blood pressure respiratory waves. This blood pressure respiratory wave is related to the movement of the diaphragm during breathing. If the arterial blood pressure waveform can be accurately recorded, the respiratory frequency and waveform can be calculated by analyzing the changes in the arterial blood pressure respiratory wave. Patent publication US20060195035A1 discloses a "non-invasive radial artery blood pressure waveform measurement system and its application" proposed by applying the above technical principles.

[0016] From the above observations on the prior art, it can be seen that the industry is currently in urgent need of a novel sleep detection device that can have a simplified structure and provide sleep quality detection.

[0017] At the same time, there is also a need for a sleep detection device that can significantly reduce the physiological and psychological burdens of patients and easily achieve correct sleep detection. Summary of the invention

[0062] Various embodiments of the present invention are described below according to the drawings, but the purpose of the embodiments is only to illustrate possible implementations of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0063] Figure 1 A block diagram of an embodiment of the sleep detection device of the present invention is shown. The sleep detection device 100 shown in the figure includes a housing 10 for accommodating various modules or components of the sleep detection device 100, and an attachment component 11 attached to the housing 10. There is no restriction on the material of the housing 10, which is usually metal or plastic, or a combination thereof, such as an electroplating combination. There is no restriction on the shape of the housing 10. It can usually be a disc, an oval disc, a square box, etc. Other materials and shapes can be applied to the present invention. Generally, a flat shape is more suitable. A more suitable material is a soft material to facilitate changes with the body shape. However, the features are not any technical restrictions, as long as the relevant modules and / or components of the sleep detection device 100 can be accommodated therein. And in some embodiments of the present invention, some modules and / or components of the sleep detection device 100 can also be fully or partially exposed outside the housing 10. It will not affect its function.

[0064] One of the functions of the attachment component 11 is to attach the housing 10 containing the modules or components of the sleep detection device 100 to a human body, an animal or other object, especially to the skin. Since the application field of the present invention is a sleep detection device, the attachment component 11 is mainly to attach the housing 10 to a human body. Therefore, the attachment component 11 provides at least one, for example, two patches 14, 14', for adhering to a human body or an animal. The patches 14, 14' can also be suction cups or sticky suction cups.

[0065] In addition, the attached component 11 also provides a detection surface 11A for directly or indirectly contacting the surface of the human body, animal or other objects, especially the surface of the human body, that is, the skin. At least one, for example two electrodes 15, 15' are provided on the detection surface 11A to detect the electrocardiographic signal generated by the human body and transmitted to the detection surface 11A through the skin. It should be noted that the so-called "contact" here refers to physical contact with the contact surface (direct contact) or contact through air (indirect contact). As long as the electrocardiographic signal transmitted by the skin can be transmitted to the detection electrodes 15, 15'. Another function of the attached component 11 is to attach the detection surface 11A to the surface of the human body or animal skin to receive vibrations, movements or other changes transmitted by the surface.

[0066] Figure 1 It is also shown that an ECG sensor 13 is provided in the housing 10 of the sleep detection device 100. The ECG sensor 13 is connected to at least one electrode 15, 15' to receive and process the ECG signal detected by the electrode 15, 15' to generate an ECG waveform signal. A central processing circuit 20 is also provided in the housing 10, connected to the ECG sensor 13 to receive and process the ECG waveform signal.

[0067] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the central processing circuit 20 provides an application program for converting the ECG waveform signal into a respiratory waveform signal and storing it in a storage device 22. The storage device 22 is also disposed in the housing 10 and connected to the central processing circuit 20 to store data sent by the central processing circuit 20 or to provide the stored data to the central processing circuit 20.

[0068] There are many known technologies for converting ECG waveform signals into respiratory waveform signals. For example, the aforementioned patent US20060195035A1 is an example. In addition, respiratory detection devices that convert ECG waveform signals into respiratory waveform signals can also be seen on the market. Obtaining a respiratory waveform signal based on the conversion of the ECG waveform signal is not only accurate, but also eliminates the need for a respiratory detector that interferes with sleep. The respiratory detector used in the prior art must be fixed in the nostrils throughout the sleep process, which is enough to interfere with sleep, making it difficult to achieve correct sleep detection results.

[0069] The device with the above characteristics can be called a heartbeat and breathing detection device. It can detect the wearer's ECG signal and generate ECG waveform signal and breathing waveform signal. The relevant technology is mature in this field. Those skilled in the art can achieve it according to the above description after necessary modifications. The technical details do not need to be repeated here.

[0070] The wireless communication circuit 23 is disposed in the housing 10 to provide a wireless communication function. The wireless communication circuit 23 provides an antenna 24 and is connected to the central processing circuit 20 to establish a wireless communication channel with a specific external device. The external device may be a physiological data detection device, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc., or any device with a wireless communication function. After the wireless communication circuit 23 establishes a communication channel with the external device, it can receive signals or data sent by the external device 31, 32, such as the external physiological data detection device 31, 32, or transmit the signal or data sent by the central processing circuit 20 to the outside, such as the external device 31, 32. The wireless communication channel can be a channel using any known wireless communication protocol, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, Bluetooth, SigBee and other communication protocols, as well as other communication protocols.

[0071] The wireless communication circuit having the above technical features and functions is already a known technology in the art. It is not difficult for an expert in the art to complete the device according to the above description.

[0072] The sleep detection device 100 of the present invention may also include a power module (not shown). The power module may include a battery and a power management circuit, especially a power saving circuit. The power module provides electrical power to the above-mentioned circuits, modules, and other electrical components included in the housing 10.

[0073] An important technical feature of the present invention lies in the design related to the external device.

[0074] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the external devices 31, 32 are at least one external physiological data detection device. The external physiological data detection device may be at least one selected from the following devices: oximeter, blood glucose meter, thermometer, sphygmomanometer, electromyography (including electrooculography, cheek electromyography, limb electromyography, etc.), electroencephalometer, respiratory flow meter, microphone, chest / abdominal tension belt, etc. The external physiological data detection device is preferably an oximeter. The external physiological data detection device is connected to the wireless communication circuit 23 via a wireless communication channel. In application, the wireless communication circuit 23 can be configured to automatically search for external devices 31, 32 within the range of wireless communication, start the automatic online program, and establish a wireless communication channel.

[0075] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the external devices 31 and 32 are at least two external physiological data detection devices. The external physiological data detection devices may be at least two selected from the following devices: blood oximeter, blood glucose meter, thermometer, blood pressure meter, electromyography (including: electrooculography, cheek electromyography, limb electromyography, etc.), electroencephalometer, respiratory flow meter, microphone, chest / abdominal tension belt, etc. In the most preferred embodiment, the external physiological data detection device may be a blood glucose meter and a thermometer, or a blood oximeter and a blood glucose meter.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the central processing circuit 20 provides an application program for converting the detection data of the external physiological data detection devices 31 , 32 received by the wireless communication circuit 23 into a predetermined format and storing it in the storage device 22 .

[0077] The above-mentioned external physiological data detection device and other types of external physiological data detection devices are all known instruments. They usually include a detection module for detecting, for example, blood oxygen level, blood sugar level, body temperature, blood pressure, and electromyographic signals, and converting them into signals in a predetermined form; a wireless communication module for transmitting the detection result information of the detection module to the outside world; and a power management module for providing batteries to power each module of the external physiological data detection device. The sensors, processing circuits, etc. used are also known in the art. The relevant technical details do not need to be repeated here.

[0078] In addition, the application program for converting the detection data of the external physiological data detection devices 31 and 32 into a predetermined format is also known. It is not difficult for those skilled in the art to select suitable tools from the known application programs, or to apply them to the present invention after appropriate modification.

[0079] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the ECG sensor 13 is an independent detection device, which is packaged in a housing 10. The housing 10 provides an attachment component 11 for attaching to the skin. The electrodes 15, 15' on the detection surface of the housing 10 are brought into close contact with the skin to detect ECG signals transmitted through the skin. The sleep sensor 100 including a central processing circuit 20, a storage device 22, and a wireless communication circuit 23 is packaged in another second housing (not shown). The ECG sensor 13 also provides a second wireless communication circuit (not shown) for establishing a communication channel with the wireless communication circuit of the sleep sensor to exchange data. In this embodiment, the role of the ECG sensor 13 is similar to that of other external devices.

[0080] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the external device may be, or additionally include, a motion sensor 26. The motion sensor 26 is preferably one or more of an inertial sensor, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer. The motion sensor 26 is preferably disposed in the housing to detect the movement of the sleep detection device 100 in space and generate motion detection data. An application may be provided in the central processing circuit 20 to determine the body posture and changes of the wearer based on the detection data of the motion sensor 26. The motion sensor 26 having such technical features may provide information on changes in body posture during sleep, assist the wearer and medical personnel in determining the breathing quality or sleep quality during sleep, and provide suggestions for improvement. In the known art, there are a variety of technologies that can depict breathing changes and / or body changes during sleep based on the detection results of the motion sensor. Experts in this field may adopt the basic technology of the motion sensor 26 and its detection module and make good use of it.

[0081] In addition, the sleep detection device 100 of the present invention may also include a global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21. The global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21 may be disposed inside the housing 10 and connected to the central processing circuit 20 by wire. However, it may also be disposed outside the housing 10 and connected to the wireless communication circuit 23 by wire or wireless communication. The global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21 receives the signal sent by the global positioning satellite, determines the location of the device, provides global positioning information in a predetermined format, and transmits it to the central processing circuit 20. The global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21 having the above features and functions is also a known technology. Its technical details do not need to be repeated here.

[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the central processing circuit 20 may also provide an application program for converting the detection data of the motion sensor 26 and / or the global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21 into a predetermined format and storing it in the storage device 22. Such application programs are also known. It is not difficult for those skilled in the art to select suitable tools from the known application programs, or to apply them to the present invention after appropriate modification.

[0083] All the above circuits, modules, etc., except the external devices 31 and 32, can be configured on a circuit board and accommodated in the housing 10. As mentioned above, the material of the housing 10 is preferably soft. In this case, the circuit board is also preferably a soft circuit board. The sleep detection device 100 formed can easily deform according to the user's body shape, which can not only improve comfort, but also improve the accuracy of detection.

[0084] The sleep detection device 100 of the present invention can be used to wirelessly connect to various external devices to exchange data. In some preferred embodiments, the central processing circuit 20 provides a timer (not shown) to generate time data and attach it to the breathing waveform signal in real time. In other words, each time the central processing circuit 20 receives a breathing waveform signal, the time data at that time is attached to the breathing waveform signal.

[0085] In addition, the central processing circuit 20 is also equipped with application software to add time data to the detection data of the external physiological data detection device in real time. In other words, each time the central processing circuit 20 receives a detection data sent by the external physiological data detection device, such as a blood glucose meter, the time data at that time is added to the detection data.

[0086] In addition, the central processing circuit 20 is also configured with application software to append time data to the motion detection data and / or the detection data of the global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21 in real time.

[0087] The relevant detection data are stored in the storage device 22 for future use.

[0088] Under the design of the present invention, all detection data are accompanied by the time data, which can indicate the time when the data was obtained and can be used to reconstruct the relative relationship between different types.

[0089] Figure 1 It is also shown that the sleep detection device 100 also provides a communication interface 25, which is attached to the housing 10 and is used to establish a communication channel with an external computer device (not shown) to exchange data. The communication interface 25 is preferably a USB interface or a Type C interface.

[0090] The sleep detection device 100 having all or part of the above technical features can be worn on the user, with the patch 14, 14' attached to the skin near the heart, and the detection electrodes 15, 15' detecting the ECG signal transmitted through the skin. The ECG signal is processed by the ECG sensor 13, transferred to the central processing circuit 20, converted into a breathing waveform signal, and stored in the storage device 22. The ECG signal or ECG waveform signal can also be stored in the storage device 22.

[0091] When the sleep detection device 100 is turned on, it automatically searches for external devices 31 and 32 within the communication range. The search results show that the external device 31 is a blood oximeter and the external device 32 is a thermometer, both of which are already worn by the user. The wireless communication circuit 23 then establishes a wireless communication channel with the external devices 31 and 32 through a predetermined negotiation procedure, and receives the physiological detection data sent by the external devices 31 and 32 at regular intervals. According to the design of the present invention, the central processing circuit 20 adds the current time to each physiological detection data received, and stores it in the storage device 22 after necessary processing.

[0092] During the above data collection process, the user is in a sleeping state. That is, the user is basically lying in bed in a sleeping position and has been in a sleeping state for a long time. However, because the sleep detection device 100 basically has no wires and is preferably made of soft materials, it can be deformed according to the body shape and attached or absorbed to the body of a person or animal. The interference to the user during the data collection process can be minimized, and the most accurate sleep detection results can be obtained.

[0093] In addition, although the external devices 31 and 32 are also attached to specific parts of the subject's body, they are not connected to the sleep detection device 100 by wires. Therefore, even if the subject collects data for a long time, he will not feel inconvenience and the accuracy of data collection will not be affected.

[0094] The detection data provided by the motion sensor 26 can generate a sleep posture waveform. The detection data provided by the global positioning satellite signal receiving device 21 can record the movement of the subject during the data collection process. The relevant detection data are all timestamped and can be synchronized with other types of data. The data provided can easily show relevance.

[0095] The present invention also provides a sleep detection data collection platform, which is built in a server that can be accessed through the network. The sleep detection data collection platform can be connected to a large number of sleep detection devices to upload detection data. In order to achieve the above purpose, a simple application software can be developed and built in a smart phone, a tablet computer or a personal computer. When uploading data, the user can start the upload application software in the smart phone, tablet computer or personal computer, connect to the sleep detection data collection platform server through the Internet, and log in to a specific account. Then, the user can connect the communication interface 25 of the sleep detection device 100 to the corresponding communication interface in the smart phone, tablet computer or personal computer, so that the sleep detection device 100 transmits the specified data to the server computer and logs in to the specific account.

[0096] The sleep detection data collection platform with the above-mentioned technical features can be connected to a large number of sleep detection devices to collect a very large amount of sleep detection data.

[0097] The sleep detection data collection platform server of the present invention can also build a sleep quality analysis application to become a sleep quality analysis system. After the user executes the sleep quality analysis application, the sleep detection data of the account can be obtained from a specific account, and the detection data can be analyzed by the sleep quality analysis application to obtain a preliminary evaluation of the sleep quality for the expert to diagnose and further provide improvement suggestions.

[0098] The sleep quality analysis application may also automatically generate clear evaluation results for specific sleep quality-related phenomena. In this case, the sleep quality analysis application may also build useful algorithms to automatically make improvement suggestions based on the evaluation results.
