Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and mainly relates to an eye mask for clinical consciousness detection. Background Art

[0002] The pupil reflex is a physiological reaction that changes the size of the pupil through the contraction of the iris muscle. The pupil's reaction to light causes the pupil to shrink, which is called the pupil reflex to light. The transmission pathways of the pupil reflex to light include: light, retina, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, midbrain anterior tegmental area, bilateral EW nuclei, oculomotor nerve, ciliary ganglion, postganglionic fibers and pupillary sphincter. The main function of the pupil is to adjust and maintain the right amount of light entering the eye to obtain the clearest image of the object falling on the retina; control the light to prevent excessive light from burning the retina; control the intensity of light entering the eye to protect the eye. When the light shines on the pupil of a patient with normal consciousness, the pupil will shrink reflexively. When the light moves, the eyeball will also move with the position of the light. When the light moves away, the pupil will return to normal size. If the patient's pupil reflex to light disappears or weakens, it generally indicates that the optic nerve is damaged. In addition, the changes in the pupil reflex to light and the temporal and spatial characteristics of eye movement are physiological and behavioral manifestations in the process of visual information extraction in the human brain, and have a direct or indirect relationship with human psychological activities. The pupillary sphincter and pupil dilator muscles that adjust the pupil diameter are controlled by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves; eye movements also rely on the coordinated activities between multiple levels of neural control centers such as the cerebral cortex, subcortex, brainstem nuclei, and thalamus. Therefore, changes in pupil light reflex and the temporal and spatial characteristics of eye movements are two important signs that reflect the state of consciousness. Therefore, through changes in pupil light reflex and the temporal and spatial characteristics of eye movements, it is possible to determine whether the patient's visual conduction pathway system and some low-level intermediate visual areas of the midbrain are damaged, so as to make a preliminary judgment on the patient's state of consciousness.

[0003] Since the eyes of clinical patients in a coma or minimally conscious state are generally closed, assistant doctors need to open the patient's eyelids for light stimulation to observe pupil changes. This examination process is not convenient and affects work efficiency. In addition, when the eyelids of patients in a coma or minimally conscious state are manually opened, eye movement information cannot be recorded by wearing an eye tracker, which in turn affects the collection of eye movement information by the clinical consciousness assessment system. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims at solving the technical problems mentioned in the background technology and provides a multimodal signal acquisition eye mask for clinical consciousness detection, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A multimodal signal acquisition eye mask for clinical consciousness detection, comprising: a fixing ring for wearing, and a light shielding cover arranged on the fixing ring; a battery compartment and a flexible light shielding pad are arranged inside the light shielding cover;

[0006] A pair of eyelid retractors are arranged on the side of the light shield close to the eye; a flexible light-shielding pad is arranged around the pair of eyelid retractors;

[0007] The eyelid retractor includes a pair of support cylinders symmetrically placed up and down in a semi-circular shape, a telescopic driver for driving the support cylinder to expand and contract, an eyeball camera, and an illumination light strip. The end faces of the pair of support cylinders symmetrically placed up and down on the side close to the eye are concave spherical surfaces, and the eyeball camera and the illumination light strip are arranged in the support cylinder.

[0008] In this application, the flexible light-shielding pad, the end face of the support cylinder on the side close to the eye, and the material of the part of the fixing ring in contact with the wearer's skin during use are preferably made of flexible materials such as silica gel, rubber, sponge, and TPU. The flexible light-shielding pad is made of flexible material, which can not only block light but also adapt to the different face shapes of different patients to achieve the purpose of comfortable wearing; the end face of the support cylinder on the side close to the eye contacts the eyelid, and being made of flexible material can adapt to different wearers and protect the eyelid. The fixing ring is preferably configured as a magic tape strap; the pair of support cylinders placed symmetrically up and down in a semi-circular shape are assembled and connected through a rotatable connecting shaft so that the pair of support cylinders placed symmetrically up and down in a semi-circular shape can perform an up-and-down opening and closing action.

[0009] The semi-circular support cylinder is driven by a telescopic driver to extend to the eyelid. The concave spherical end face formed by the pair of support cylinders up and down makes it easy to fit the shape of the eyeball. After the end face of the support cylinder fits the eyelid, a slight movement along the axis direction of the end face can open the patient's eyelid. By photographing the 3D information of the patient's eye movement and the eye images when different light stimuli are applied by the illumination light strip, the eye movement trajectory, eye movement time, average speed time and distance of the saccade direction, pupil size and blink information of the subject can be obtained.

[0010] A pressure sensor is arranged at the end of the semi-circular support cylinder on the side close to the eye; the pressure signal output by the pressure sensor is fed back to the telescopic driver and is used to control the switch of the telescopic driver. After the eye mask device is worn, under the drive of the telescopic driver, the support cylinder automatically extends to fit the human eye, and the pressure sensor stops extending immediately after detecting contact with the human body. For example, when the telescopic driver is started and the support cylinder extends towards the eyeball, when the pressure value reaches the set threshold of 0.01 - 0.05 N, the extension automatically stops to ensure the safety of the patient's eyes.

[0011] The semi-circular support cylinder is composed of an inner support cylinder and an outer support cylinder. The inner support cylinder and the outer support cylinder are coaxially arranged, and the length of the inner support cylinder is less than that of the outer support cylinder. The space between the inner support cylinder and the outer support cylinder is filled with a flexible filling layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the telescopic drive is composed of a spiral lifting device driven by a micro-stepping motor, and the micro-stepping motor drives and controls the spiral lifting device to drive the support tube to move up and down, thereby realizing the control of the lifting position of the support tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the semi-lunar support tube is composed of a support inner tube and a support outer tube, and the end faces of the support inner tube and the support outer tube are sealed by an elastic membrane; the support inner tube, the support outer tube and the elastic membrane together constitute an airbag structure, and after the airbag structure is inflated, the support inner tube is coaxial with the support outer tube, and the length of the support inner tube is smaller than the length of the support outer tube, and the elastic membrane is in the shape of a concave spherical surface; the telescopic drive is composed of a mechanical compression pump device, and the mechanical compression pump is used to inflate and pump air into the airbag structure to drive the telescopic movement of the support tube.

[0014] The inner support tube and the outer support tube are made of organic polymer flexible materials such as silicone and rubber with a certain strength. At the same time, the flexible filling layer is sandwiched between the outer support tube and the inner support tube. It is made of highly flexible sponge, silicone and other materials or an inflatable airbag that can provide a better physical experience when it fits with the human body. Since all parts of the support tube are made of flexible materials, the purpose of comfort and helping to open the eyelids is achieved. In addition, the flexible concave spherical structure formed by the end face of the middle flexible filling layer is easier to fit with the spherical eyeball, and when the support device is extended outward to open the human eyelid, it can effectively reduce the force applied to the eyeball and play a role in protecting the human eye.

[0015] The battery compartment is used to install a power source and provide electrical energy to the telescopic drive, eyeball camera, and lighting strip.

[0016] Furthermore, the lighting light strip includes: one of an LED backlight source, an OLED backlight source, and a liquid crystal backlight system; the light frequency, light intensity, and flickering mode of the lighting light strip are all configured to be adjustable. The lighting light strip provides a good lighting environment for the eye camera, and the light frequency, light intensity, and flickering mode of the lighting light strip can be adjusted. Through different lighting light strip illumination modes, more types of consciousness assessment tests can be performed to improve the accuracy of consciousness assessment.

[0017] The diameter of each small light-emitting unit in the lighting light band ranges from 100μm to 700μm. The small light-emitting diameter ensures the continuity of the light band lighting and can achieve more lighting modes. The light-emitting wavelength of the light-emitting unit ranges from 300nm to 650nm, and the total brightness of the lighting light band ranges from 600ld / m 2 -1000ld / m 2 This lighting strip can simulate sunlight stimulation, strong light and shallow consciousness level judgment, and comfortable low light environment for the eyes.

[0018] Furthermore, the illumination light band is arranged around the inner side wall of the support cylinder. The angle of each light-emitting area in the illumination light band is 20° - 100°, and the light-emitting area rotates clockwise or counterclockwise at a speed of 5° - 20° per second, with a flicker frequency of 0Hz - 5Hz. This light-emitting mode of the light band can cause the eyes to automatically follow, which is better for judging the conscious state of clinical patients. By observing the eye information of patients under different light-emitting modes, a more accurate judgment of the conscious state of clinical patients can be achieved.

[0019] The fixed ring is equipped with bilateral temporal lobe electrodes and bilateral occipital lobe electrodes; the bilateral temporal lobe electrodes and bilateral occipital lobe electrodes are used to receive EEG signals; the bilateral temporal lobe electrodes and bilateral occipital lobe electrodes jointly output four-channel electroencephalogram signals.

[0020] The bilateral temporal lobe electrodes and bilateral occipital lobe electrodes are configured as snap electrodes or replaceable dry and wet electrodes.

[0021] A better solution is that an information preprocessing unit is configured on the fixed ring; the eye images output by the eye camera and the four-channel electroencephalogram signals output by the bilateral temporal lobe electrodes and bilateral occipital lobe electrodes are both transmitted to the information preprocessing unit. The information preprocessing unit is used for preprocessing the eye images and electroencephalogram information.

[0022] Furthermore, the preprocessing process of the eye images in the information preprocessing unit is as follows: First, perform 2D image denoising algorithm processing on the images captured by the eye camera, perform image denoising on the eye movement pictures obtained by the eye camera, and then obtain the position information of the pupil center in the three-dimensional space of the eyeball and the recorded pupil distance size through the adaptive target tracking algorithm and the pupil center distance pattern matching algorithm; obtain the eye movement trajectory and eye movement time according to the position changes of the eyeball in the three-dimensional space at different times; take the derivative of the position changes of the eyeball in the relevant three-dimensional space with respect to time to obtain the movement direction and speed of saccades.

[0023] Furthermore, the preprocessing process of the electroencephalogram information in the information preprocessing unit includes four steps: signal amplification, smoothing filtering, band-pass filtering, and analog signal sampling; specifically: first, amplify the obtained microvolt-level electroencephalogram signals by 100 - 1000 times to the millivolt level, eliminate external noise interference through a smoothing filter with a time width of 0.01 - 0.05 milliseconds, select the target information in the electroencephalogram frequency band through a band-pass frequency selection filter with a cut-off frequency of 0.5 - 100Hz, and finally obtain the preprocessed four-channel electroencephalogram signals with a digital frequency of 200 - 1500Hz through analog signal sampling.

[0024] Further, after the eye image preprocessing and EEG information preprocessing, the information preprocessing unit further includes a signal merging and compression processing flow. The multi-modal information obtained through the eye image preprocessing and EEG information preprocessing is convenient for high-speed data transmission and data acquisition with higher frequency and higher precision after being merged and compressed. The specific signal merging and compression processing flow is as follows: First, merge the preprocessed four-channel EEG signals obtained from the EEG information preprocessing and the eye information such as the pupil distance, the eye movement trajectory and eye movement time, and the movement direction and speed of saccades obtained from the eye image processing process; then, through the LZSS compression algorithm, compress the data size to 50% - 70% of the original data, reducing the space occupied by signal storage, transmission, and analysis.

[0025] Further, a data transmission unit and a data receiving terminal are configured on the fixing ring; the data transmission unit is used to transmit the signals output from the information preprocessing unit to the data receiving terminal, and there is a two-way communication connection between the data transmission unit and the data receiving terminal. The data receiving terminal can send a test instruction to the data transmission unit, and the data transmission unit can also upload the eye image preprocessing and EEG information preprocessing information to the data receiving terminal.

[0026] The data transmission method of the data transmission unit is wireless transmission or wired transmission. Further, the wireless transmission methods include one of Bluetooth transmission, infrared transmission, WLAN transmission, and LTE transmission.

[0027] A power supply with a voltage of 4 - 8V is set in the battery compartment, and it can be charged by connecting to an external charging cable or powered by 2 - 4 No. 5 batteries.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0029] When the data transmission unit receives an external test instruction, the eyelid opener is moved up and down by the telescopic driver, which can automatically open the patient's eyelids, realizing the automatic extraction of the patient's eye information in a clinical unconscious state, saving labor for hospital doctors.

[0030] By adjusting the light brightness and intensity, the size of the light-emitting area in the light band, and the light-emitting mode, the lighting light band can perform various light stimulations on the patient, and then observe the patient's eye feedback condition. Combining various stimulation conditions with the patient's eye feedback can enhance the accuracy of analyzing the conscious state of clinical patients.

[0031] The bilateral temporal lobe electrodes and bilateral occipital lobe electrodes can extract the human EEG signals, and there is also a high correlation between the human EEG signals and the human conscious state. By testing the brain activities of two brain regions through 4 electrodes, the accuracy of analyzing the conscious state of clinical patients can be enhanced.

[0032] The information preprocessing unit can compress the extracted human-related signal information, reduce the traffic required in signal transmission and the electrical energy consumed by the transmission, and improve the available monitoring time of the eye mask.

[0033] The device is powered by a battery compartment, without the need for an external power supply and is not restricted by the surrounding environment. The data transmission unit selects a wireless transmission method for data reception and transmission, enabling remote monitoring of clinical patients. Description of the Drawings

Driven by the elastic membrane, the eyelids move along the curvature of the eyeball towards the orbit direction, thereby realizing eyelid opening. When the pressure sensor on the semi-circular support cylinder reaches the set threshold, the patient is already in an open-eye state, and the inflation is stopped, realizing automatic eyelid opening for unconscious patients.
