Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cognitive performance evaluation, in particular to a high-temperature cognitive impairment evaluation method based on head skin temperature. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the frequent occurrence of global high-temperature processes, excessive temperature is easy to cause various diseases in summer, including heatstroke, heatstroke, etc. With climate change, people are increasingly aware of the health risks of temperature rise and acute regional high-temperature events in the general population. Many physically demanding occupations in developed and developing economies involve exposure to extreme high-temperature environments, which can affect work capacity and ultimately health. Extreme temperatures can occur in outdoor or indoor work environments, possibly due to natural or artificial environments, metabolic heat rates generated by physical work, specific processes in the workplace (such as steel manufacturing), or through requirements for protective clothing that affect heat dissipation. In summary, heat exposure causes acute impairment of work capacity and chronic effects on health, greatly increasing the health risks of workers and reducing productivity. A study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the United States shows that high temperatures are associated with impaired brain cognition, and even healthy young people's brains can be slower in high-temperature days. Therefore, real-time monitoring and evaluation of cognitive performance should be an important measure to ensure high-temperature safety.

[0003] The main method for evaluating cognitive performance is cognitive assessment interview (CAI), psychological scale (CASI), or cognitive test, as shown in Figure 1 Since the test personnel need to fill in the psychological questionnaire or complete the cognitive test on the basis of correct understanding, these traditional methods commonly used in the laboratory are almost impossible to be used for cognitive performance evaluation in actual high-temperature environments, and real-time monitoring of cognitive performance cannot be achieved. Unlike psychological scales or tests, human physiological parameters can be continuously measured.

[0004] As shown in Figure 2 The prior art (CN112032971A) mainly uses environmental parameters and physiological parameters as an auxiliary to achieve control of the air conditioning system, and the prediction and estimation of user cognitive performance are mostly achieved by combining electroencephalogram or multiple physiological parameters, which are more targeted at clinical diseases rather than the impact of cognition on work efficiency.

[0005] Moreover, the cognitive evaluation system in the prior art is more suitable for normal temperature environments, and lacks generalizability for high-temperature environments, especially high-temperature environments of 33℃ and above. In view of the problems of the prior art, the present application provides a cognitive performance method based on head skin temperature. SUMMARY

[0057] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0058] The prior art (CN114469136A) provides a thermal comfort evaluation method, system and storage medium, which belongs to the technical field of detection. The thermal comfort and cognitive performance are evaluated simultaneously through the brain wave signals of a single measuring point, thereby solving the technical problems of inaccurate subjective evaluation method of thermal comfort, multiple brain wave measuring points and complex analysis, and inability of psychological cognitive test to evaluate cognitive performance in real time.

[0059] However, the prior art (CN114469136A) collects brain wave data of the subject through a brain wave measuring instrument, needs to set multiple electrodes on the body of the measured person, and the collection method of the brain wave data is complex, which is not suitable for a working scene.

[0060] In summary, the prior art has the following disadvantages: cognitive evaluation needs multiple parameters, some of which are not easy to measure (such as core temperature, brain wave, indoor air water partial pressure, etc.), and the promotion is weak. The evaluation result of cognition is more for the diagnosis of clinical diseases, rather than the influence of cognition on work efficiency. Compared with disease diagnosis, the evaluation of the influence of cognition on work efficiency requires physiological parameters and evaluation methods to be more sensitive to changes in cognitive performance. There is a lack of test data above 33℃, and its applicability in high temperature environment is questionable.

[0061] Figure 3 A flow chart of a high temperature cognitive impairment evaluation method based on head skin temperature according to one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0062] As shown in Figure 3 Step S1, the head skin temperature data of the object to be evaluated is collected in real time. In one embodiment, the head skin temperature data is collected by a temperature collection device worn by the object to be evaluated. Further, the temple skin temperature of the object to be evaluated is collected as the head skin temperature data.

[0063] As shown in Figure 3As shown in step S2, according to the head skin temperature grade classification standard, the head skin temperature grade corresponding to the head skin temperature data is determined. In an embodiment, the head skin temperature grade classification standard is: the skin temperature value range of the 33 grade is [32.5, 33.5), the skin temperature value range of the 34 grade is [33.5, 34.5), the skin temperature value range of the 35 grade is [34.5, 35.5), the skin temperature value range of the 36 grade is [35.5, 36.5), and the skin temperature value range of the 37 grade is [36.5, 37.5), the skin temperature value range of the 38 grade is [37.5, 38.5). It should be noted that the head skin temperature grade classification standard is not unique. The above embodiment divides the head skin temperature in the range of 32.5-38.5℃ into 6 categories, and the head skin temperature in the range of 32.5-38.5℃ can also be divided into 10 categories or other number of segments for modeling, and the present application does not limit this.

[0064] As shown in step S3, based on the cognitive evaluation model, the cognitive performance grade of the to-be-evaluated object is determined in combination with the head skin temperature grade. Figure 3

[0065] In an embodiment, the cognitive evaluation model is constructed through steps S311 to S314. Specifically:

[0066] In step S311, under the experimental scenario, the multi-dimensional test scores obtained after multi-dimensional cognitive tests of personnel under different working conditions and the corresponding head skin temperature values are collected. Specifically, a series of climate chamber experiments are used to obtain the cognitive test scores of personnel under different working conditions at normal temperature and high temperature environments, and the head skin temperature values in the corresponding time period are collected. Specifically, in the experimental preparation stage, medical pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is used to paste the button-type temperature recorder to the corresponding skin measurement point of the subject to ensure close contact with the skin surface, and the local skin temperature is continuously measured and recorded.

[0067] In an embodiment, different working conditions include but are not limited to: sitting posture office work, computer operation, walking at a medium pace, construction work, and farm labor, etc. In an embodiment, the multi-dimensional cognitive test includes any one or any combination of the following: semantic interference and visual perception ability test, working memory ability test, numerical calculation ability test, spatial positioning ability test, long-term memory ability test, visual scanning and attention concentration ability test, perception and spatial reasoning ability test.

[0068] Further, as shown in step S312, the cognitive evaluation model is constructed by using the multi-dimensional test scores and the corresponding head skin temperature values as the input data, and the cognitive performance grade as the output data. Figure 4 ​As shown, the multi-dimension cognitive tests used in the experiment include Stroop (word color interference) test, visual learning test, addition test, multiplication test, redirection test, typing test, d2 test, Overlapping test, and Visual react test. Among them, the Stroop test reflects semantic interference and visual perception ability, the visual learning test reflects attention, working memory, learning speed, and perceptual ability, the addition test and multiplication test reflect thinking ability and numerical calculation ability, the redirection test reflects spatial positioning ability, the typing test reflects long-term memory ability, the d2 test reflects visual scanning, attention, and degree of mental concentration, and the Overlapping test reflects perceptual ability, spatial recognition ability, and spatial reasoning ability.

[0069] In step S312, the multi-dimension test scores are processed by dimensionless processing to eliminate individual differences, and cognitive evaluation modeling data are obtained. In an embodiment, the dimensionless processing is performed by the following formula:

[0070] Accuracy relative =Accuracy i / Accuracy max

[0071] wherein, Accuracy relative represents the test score after dimensionless processing; Accuracy i represents the absolute accuracy of each subject in completing the cognitive test; and Accuracy max represents the highest accuracy of the subject in completing all tests of the cognitive test.

[0072] In step S313, based on the cognitive evaluation modeling data, the multi-dimension average test scores corresponding to each head skin temperature grade are calculated. Specifically, after the dimensionless processing in step S312, the cognitive evaluation modeling data contain the head skin temperature values and the test scores after dimensionless processing (cognitive test accuracy), and it is necessary to determine which head skin temperature grade the head skin temperature values belong to. For all head skin temperature value data corresponding to a single head skin temperature grade and a single ability test, the average cognitive test accuracy is calculated to determine the multi-dimension average test scores corresponding to the single head skin temperature grade.

[0073] In step S314, the head skin temperature level data and the corresponding multi-dimensional average test score data are fitted by the selected fitting function to obtain a cognitive evaluation model. Specifically, the change rule of the head skin temperature-cognitive performance is a quadratic function change, so a quadratic function is used as the fitting function to determine the fitting curve of the cognitive performance and the head skin temperature level, so as to obtain the cognitive evaluation model. In addition, an exponential function can also be used for modeling to determine the fitting curve of the cognitive performance and the head skin temperature level, so as to obtain the cognitive evaluation model.

[0074] In one embodiment, the cognitive evaluation model includes a semantic interference and visual perception cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 5 ), a working memory cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 6 ), an addition mental calculation cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 7 ), a multiplication mental calculation cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 8 ), a spatial orientation cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 9 ), a long-term memory cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 10 ), a visual scanning and attention concentration cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 11 ), a perception and spatial reasoning cognitive evaluation model (such as Figure 12 ).

[0075] Specifically, the semantic interference and visual perception cognitive evaluation model:

[0076] Y1 = -0.0102x 2 + 0.7064x - 11.239

[0077] Specifically, the working memory cognitive evaluation model:

[0078] Y2 = -0.0079x 2 + 0.5455x - 8.4426

[0079] Specifically, the addition mental calculation cognitive evaluation model:

[0080] Y3 = -0.0125x 2 + 0.8667x - 14.0481

[0081] Specifically, the multiplication mental calculation cognitive evaluation model:

[0082] Y4 = -0.0077x 2 + 0.5315x - 8.2735

[0083] Specifically, the spatial orientation cognitive evaluation model:

[0084] Y5 = -0.013x 2 + 0.8999x - 14.5721

[0085] Specifically, the long-term memory cognitive evaluation model is:

[0086] Y6 = -0.0008x + 0.0577x - 0.0093 2

[0087] Specifically, the visual scanning and attention concentration cognitive evaluation model is:

[0088] Y7 = -0.00004x + 0.0012x + 0.9921 2

[0089] Specifically, the perception and spatial reasoning cognitive evaluation model is:

[0090] Y8 = -0.0025x + 0.1676x - 1.8673 2

[0091] Y1 represents the relative accuracy of the semantic interference and visual perception ability test; Y2 represents the relative accuracy of the working memory ability test; Y3 represents the relative accuracy of the addition mental arithmetic ability test; Y4 represents the relative accuracy of the multiplication mental arithmetic ability test; Y5 represents the relative accuracy of the spatial orientation ability test; Y6 represents the relative accuracy of the long-term memory ability test; Y7 represents the relative accuracy of the visual scanning and attention concentration ability test; Y8 represents the relative accuracy of the perception and spatial reasoning ability test; and x represents the head skin temperature level.

[0092] As shown in Figures 5 to 12 , the goodness-of-fit R 2 of each cognitive evaluation model is close to or greater than 0.8, indicating that the model fitting degree is good, and the cognitive performance level under each working condition can be better evaluated by the head skin temperature level.

[0093] In one embodiment, the cognitive performance level of the to-be-evaluated object is determined by the following steps: in actual use, the relative accuracy corresponding to each cognitive evaluation model is calculated by the head skin temperature level to reflect the multi-dimensional cognitive ability of the to-be-evaluated object, and the cognitive performance level is obtained.

[0094] In one embodiment, after obtaining the cognitive performance level of the to-be-evaluated object, the cognitive performance level is compared with the set cognitive performance threshold to determine whether a warning information needs to be sent. Specifically, the cognitive performance threshold is set by the employing unit, and when the set cognitive performance threshold is reached, the buzzer and alarm in the mobile intelligent device of the worker will issue an alarm to remind the worker to pay attention to work safety or stop working.

[0095] ​​​In summary, the present application only needs to measure one physiological parameter (head skin temperature) to realize real-time evaluation and monitoring of cognitive performance of a user, thereby providing protection for safe and efficient work of workers in high temperature; the head skin temperature data is simple and easy to obtain, thereby reducing the difficulty of data acquisition and improving the generalization of the evaluation method; the present application is proposed for personnel work safety and work efficiency, and is more sensitive to changes in cognitive performance than cognitive evaluation methods for disease diagnosis, and is more suitable for evaluation of cognitive changes of personnel during work; the present application is proposed based on normal temperature and high temperature working environment, and the temperature range is 26-39℃, thereby having wide applicability; the present application takes the international standard ISO8996 skin temperature as a physiological parameter for determining the activity of personnel, explores the direct relationship between skin temperature and cognitive performance, and can reduce the steps for determining the activity of personnel and simplify the data collection process.

[0096] The high-temperature cognitive impairment evaluation method based on head skin temperature provided by the present application can also be matched with a computer-readable storage medium, and the computer program is stored on the storage medium. The computer program is executed to run a high-temperature cognitive impairment evaluation method based on head skin temperature. The computer program can run computer instructions, and the computer instructions include computer program codes, which can be in the form of source code, object code, executable files or some intermediate forms, etc.

[0097] The computer-readable storage medium can include any entity or device capable of carrying computer program codes, recording medium, U disk, mobile hard disk, magnetic disk, optical disk, computer memory, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), electrical carrier signal, telecommunication signal and software distribution medium, etc.

[0098] It should be noted that the content contained in the computer-readable storage medium can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the requirements of legislation and patent practice in the jurisdiction, for example, in some jurisdictions, according to legislation and patent practice, the computer-readable storage medium does not include electrical carrier signals and telecommunication signals.

[0099] Figure 13 A schematic diagram of interaction between a button-type temperature recorder and a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0100] A high-temperature cognitive impairment evaluation system based on head skin temperature executes a high-temperature cognitive impairment evaluation method based on head skin temperature, which comprises a button-type temperature recorder and a mobile terminal. The button-type temperature recorder is used to collect head skin temperature data of a to-be-evaluated object in real time. The mobile terminal communicates with the button-type temperature recorder wirelessly, receives the head skin temperature data, and performs the following steps: according to a head skin temperature grade division standard, the head skin temperature grade corresponding to the head skin temperature data is determined; based on a cognitive evaluation model, the cognitive performance grade of the to-be-evaluated object is determined in combination with the head skin temperature grade.

[0101] In one embodiment, a cognitive performance threshold value formulated by an employing unit is used. When the set cognitive performance threshold value is reached, the buzzer and alarm in the mobile intelligent device of the worker will issue an alarm to remind the worker to pay attention to work safety or stop work, such as Figure 13 .

[0102] In summary, the high-temperature cognitive impairment evaluation method based on head skin temperature provided by the present application has the following advantages:

[0103] (1) The present application can evaluate the cognitive performance of a user through head skin temperature. The prior art does not have a technology capable of evaluating cognitive performance using head skin temperature.

[0104] (2) The present application only needs to measure one physiological parameter (head skin temperature) to realize real-time evaluation and monitoring of the cognitive performance of a user, thereby providing protection for workers to work safely and efficiently in high temperatures. The head skin temperature data is simple and easy to obtain, which reduces the difficulty of obtaining data and improves the popularization of the present application.

[0105] (3) The present application is based on a series of normal-temperature and high-temperature laboratory data. The applicable temperature range (26℃-39℃) not only includes the normal-temperature range but also includes the high-temperature range, which has a wide range of applications and a wider range of applications than the prior art.

[0106] (4) The goodness of fit R 2 of the cognitive evaluation model proposed by the present application is close to or greater than 0.8, indicating that the goodness of fit of the model is good and the cognitive performance can be evaluated through the head skin temperature value.

[0107] According to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided an evaluation method for head skin temperature and cognitive performance at normal temperature.

[0108] At normal temperature, head skin temperature data is collected by a temperature collection device worn by the to-be-evaluated object. Further, the temple and forehead skin temperature of the to-be-evaluated object is collected as the head skin temperature data.

[0109] At normal temperature, the head skin temperature data corresponding to the head skin temperature grade is determined according to the head skin temperature grade division standard. Further, the head skin temperature grade division standard is that: the skin temperature numerical range of the 27 temperature grade is [26.5, 27.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 28 temperature grade is [27.5, 28.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 29 temperature grade is [28.5, 29.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 30 temperature grade is [29.5, 30.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 31 temperature grade is [30.5, 31.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 32 temperature grade is [31.5, 32.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 33 temperature grade is [32.5, 33.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 34 temperature grade is [33.5, 34.5), the skin temperature numerical range of the 35 temperature grade is [34.5, 35.5), and the skin temperature numerical range of the 36 temperature grade is [35.5, 36.5). It should be noted that the head skin temperature grade division standard is not unique, and the above embodiment divides the head skin temperature in the range of 26.5-36.5°C into 10 categories, and the head skin temperature in the range of 32.5-38.5°C can also be divided into 6 categories or other number of segments for modeling, and the present application does not limit this.

[0110] At normal temperature, the cognitive performance grade of the to-be-evaluated object is determined based on the cognitive evaluation model and in combination with the head skin temperature grade. Specifically, in the experimental scenario, the multi-dimensional test scores obtained after the personnel perform multi-dimensional cognitive tests under different working conditions and the corresponding head skin temperature values are collected. Further, the multi-dimensional cognitive tests include but are not limited to high-load tests, low-load tests, consistent tests, and inconsistent tests.

[0111] In one embodiment, the statistical analysis result is obtained by using the SPSS software and is shown in Tables 1 and 2: The analysis result shows that at normal temperature, there is no significant difference in cognitive tests under different head skin temperature levels, and therefore the damage to cognitive performance at normal temperature is not obvious.
