It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, borrowed from, or combined with each other. Identical terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be repeated.
[0040] This application provides a flexible arterial blood pressure signal measurement device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device 10 is illustrated. The flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device 10 includes a sensor module 101 and a physiological data processing module 102. The sensor module 101 includes one or more sensors for detecting physiological signals, wherein at least one sensor is a thin-film sensor made of flexible conductive material. The physiological data processing module 102 is used to obtain multimodal physiological signals collected by the sensor module and to obtain arterial blood pressure signals by employing at least one of the following: a data-driven deep learning model, a deep learning model combining partial differential equations, or a blood pressure signal model based on physiological mechanisms.
[0041] In this embodiment, the sensor module includes multiple sensors for detecting different modal physiological signals. In other embodiments, the sensor module may include only one type of sensor, which is an optical sensor used to obtain pulse wave signals. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0042] Physiological signals are bioelectrical signals generated by the interaction of human organs, which can spontaneously reflect the true physical condition of the human body. Physiological signals include temperature signals, impedance signals, electrocardiogram signals, pulse wave signals, pressure signals, and ultrasound signals. Since these physiological signals are acquired and measured in different ways, and each physiological signal targets different human characteristics, these physiological signals belong to different modalities. Therefore, by obtaining physiological signals of different modalities, the accuracy of the arterial blood pressure graph signal output by the physiological data processing module 102 can be guaranteed.
[0043] In addition, thin-film sensors are lightweight and can fit snugly against human skin without affecting the user's normal activities, ensuring user comfort. For example, the flexible conductive material is graphene.
[0044] Understandably, compared to existing technologies that can only be worn on the wrist, the sensor module 101, with at least one sensor being a thin-film sensor made of flexible conductive material, allows for close contact with the skin, facilitating user wear while minimizing discomfort. This enables long-term monitoring and has a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the arterial blood pressure signal in this application employs at least one of the following: a data-driven deep learning model, a deep learning model combining partial differential equations, or a blood pressure signal model based on physiological mechanisms, thereby improving the accuracy of the arterial blood pressure signal.
[0045] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the sensor module includes a mechanical sensor, an electronic sensor, and an optical sensor. The mechanical sensor is used to obtain mechanical signals from the human body, the electronic sensor is used to obtain electrocardiogram signals and impedance signals from the human skin, and the optical sensor is used to obtain pulse wave signals from the human skin. Both the mechanical sensor and the electronic sensor are thin-film sensors.
[0046] Understandably, mechanical signals refer to signals generated by mechanical sensors when the human heart or blood vessels vibrate; electrocardiogram (ECG) signals refer to signals generated by electronic sensors when the human heart is excited by electrical activity; impedance signals refer to signals generated by electronic sensors when a certain alternating current is input into the human body to obtain changes in the body's electrical impedance; and pulse wave signals refer to signals obtained by optical sensors when light is emitted by the human body, based on the differences in the absorption and attenuation of each wavelength by blood, to obtain the change in the human blood volume over time. Since arterial blood pressure monitoring signals are related to the human heart, blood vessels, and blood, mechanical signals, ECG signals, impedance signals, and pulse wave signals are obtained to ensure the accuracy of the arterial blood pressure monitoring signal.
[0047] In this embodiment, the electronic sensor and the mechanical sensor can be made of graphene material. In other embodiments, the electronic sensor can also be made of indium tin oxide (ITO) or flexible fabric electrodes, and the mechanical sensor can also be made of other piezoelectric or piezoresistive materials other than graphene. This embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.
[0048] It should be explained that this flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device obtains arterial blood pressure signals by acquiring optical signals (in this embodiment, the optical signal acquired is a pulse wave signal), mechanical signals, and electrical signals (in this embodiment, the electrical signals acquired include electrocardiogram signals and impedance signals). This technique is called optical-mechano-electro-tonoarteriography (oMETAG).
[0049] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the physiological data processing module includes:
[0050] The preprocessing unit is used to perform noise reduction processing on mechanical signals, electrocardiogram signals, impedance signals and pulse wave signals, and to extract pressure signals and heart and lung sound signals from mechanical signals.
[0051] The model processing unit is used to obtain arterial blood pressure signal based on pressure signal, heart and lung sound signal, and noise-reduced electrocardiogram signal, impedance signal and pulse wave signal, using at least one of the following: a data-driven deep learning model, a deep learning model combining partial differential equations, or a blood pressure signal model based on physiological mechanisms.
[0052] Furthermore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the pressure signal and the heart and lung sound signals, the preprocessing unit extracts the pressure signal and the heart and lung sound signals from the noise-reduced mechanical signal.
[0053] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the sensor module further includes an ultrasonic sensor and a temperature sensor, wherein the ultrasonic sensor is used to obtain ultrasonic signals from human skin and the temperature sensor is used to obtain temperature signals from human skin.
[0054] Considering that arterial blood pressure signals are related to blood vessel diameter and body temperature, an ultrasound sensor is used to obtain ultrasound signals that indicate changes in the diameter of human blood vessels, and a temperature sensor is used to obtain the temperature signals of human skin, thereby improving the accuracy of arterial blood pressure signals.
[0055] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the physiological data processing module is also used to obtain heart sounds, lung sounds, electrocardiogram, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, blood pressure change rate, heart rate, heart rate variability, pulse wave conduction time, pulse wave conduction velocity, body temperature and bioimpedance, and the heart sounds include the first heart sound, the second heart sound, the third heart sound and the fourth heart sound.
[0056] Understandably, because the mechanical sensors in multimodal sensors can obtain heart and lung sound signals, they can directly generate phonocardiograms and obtain heart sounds, generate lung sound charts and obtain lung sounds, and the electronic sensors can obtain electrocardiogram signals, thus directly obtaining electrocardiograms, heart rates and heart rate variability, obtain pulse wave conduction time and pulse wave conduction velocity based on pulse wave signals, and obtain systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and blood pressure change rate based on arterial blood pressure chart signals, thereby providing users with comprehensive human body parameter information to ensure the user's health.
[0057] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, it exemplarily illustrates a structural schematic diagram of a flexible arterial blood pressure signal measurement device, such as... Figure 3The diagram illustrates the input and output of a physiological data processing module. The sensor module includes a mechanical sensor, an electronic sensor, an optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a temperature sensor. The physiological data processing module includes a preprocessing unit and a model processing unit. The preprocessing unit is used to denoise the mechanical signal, electrocardiogram signal, impedance signal, pulse wave signal, ultrasonic signal, and temperature signal, and extract the pressure signal and heart and lung sound signals from the mechanical signal. The model processing unit is used to obtain an arterial blood pressure signal based on the pressure signal, heart and lung sound signals, and the denoised electrocardiogram signal, impedance signal, pulse wave signal, ultrasonic signal, and temperature signal, using at least one of the following: a data-driven deep learning model, a deep learning model combining partial differential equations, or a blood pressure signal model based on physiological mechanisms.
[0058] Optionally, the sensor module uses time-division multiplexing and time-division multiplexing processing methods to enable the electronic sensor to simultaneously obtain electrocardiogram signals and impedance signals, thereby reducing the overall size of the flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device and lowering production costs.
[0059] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, it exemplarily illustrates a schematic diagram of the structure of a sensor module, wherein... Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) are schematic diagrams of the sensor module from different perspectives. The electronic sensor 200 includes a first electronic sensor and multiple second electronic sensors. The first electronic sensor is circular, and the second electronic sensors are annular. The multiple second electronic sensors are arranged at intervals with the center of the first electronic sensor as the center. The mechanical sensor 201 is disposed between two second electronic sensors, and the light emitter 2022 of the optical sensor is disposed on the first electronic sensor.
[0060] Optionally, the optical sensor includes multiple photodetectors 2021 and light emitters 2022, each emitting light at a different wavelength.
[0061] Furthermore, the sensor module also includes a temperature sensor 203 and at least two ultrasonic sensors 204. The temperature sensor 203 is located between two second electronic sensors, and multiple photodetectors 2021 are arranged around the temperature sensor 203. One ultrasonic sensor 204 is located between the mechanical sensor 201 and the second electronic sensor, and the other ultrasonic sensor 204 is located between the second electronic sensor and the light emitter 2022.
[0062] Understandably, if the flexible conductive material is graphene, the electronic sensor 200 utilizes graphene's high conductivity to ensure close contact with human skin, reducing the impedance between the electronic sensor 200 and the skin, thus ensuring the acquisition of electrocardiogram signals; the temperature sensor 203 utilizes graphene's temperature-sensitive properties to ensure the acquisition of temperature signals; considering that heart and lung sound signals carry a large amount of information about the cardiovascular system, and that current methods for detecting heart and lung sound signals using radar, lasers, and accelerometers have problems with poor anti-interference capabilities and heavy weight, resulting in devices using these methods being inflexible and not wearable, the mechanical sensor in this embodiment... 201 utilizes the pressure-sensitive properties of graphene to sense weak vibrations and, through the piezoresistive effect, acquires pressure signals and heart and lung sound signals. The ultrasonic sensor 204 consists of a high-performance piezoelectric element array to acquire ultrasonic signals representing blood vessel diameter information. The light emitter 2022 employs a small patch-type multi-wavelength LED to acquire multi-wavelength pulse wave signals. This flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device can fit closely to the skin, reducing motion noise, exhibiting good deformation repeatability, a large deformation range, high sensitivity, no restrictions on wearing position, and good biocompatibility, greatly improving wearing comfort. Furthermore, the device is easy to manufacture and has low cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the arrangement and specific relative positions of the mechanical sensor, electronic sensor, temperature sensor, and ultrasonic sensor can be adjusted according to actual conditions; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.
[0063] In this embodiment, there are three second electronic sensors. The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is divided into Laplace's signal and lead I ECG signal, combined with... Figure 5 As shown, an exemplary schematic diagram of the use of a flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device is illustrated. The flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device can be placed on a person's chest, back, or wrist. When attached to the wrist, three Laplace electrocardiogram signals are obtained through three second electronic sensors, and a lead I electrocardiogram signal is obtained by touching the flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device with the other hand. Impedance signals are obtained by injecting high-frequency alternating current into the first electronic sensor, the outermost second electronic sensor, and the innermost second electronic sensor, respectively.
[0064] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, it exemplarily illustrates a schematic diagram of the structure of a sensor module, wherein... Figure 6 (a) Figure 6 (b) and Figure 6 (c) are schematic diagrams of the sensor module from different perspectives. Multiple electronic sensors 300 are provided and arranged in a strip. The mechanical sensor 301 and the light emitter 3021 of the optical sensor are located on the same side of the electronic sensors.
[0065] It is understandable that the size of the multiple electronic sensors 300 does not need to be exactly the same; the main purpose is to acquire electrocardiogram signals and impedance signals. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations.
[0066] Optionally, the optical sensor includes multiple light emitters 3021 and photodetectors 3022, each of which emits light at a different wavelength.
[0067] Furthermore, the sensor module also includes a temperature sensor 303 and at least two ultrasonic sensors 304. The temperature sensor 303 and the force sensor 301 are spaced apart and located on the same side of the electronic sensor 300. One ultrasonic sensor 304 is located between the force sensor 301 and the temperature sensor 303, and the other ultrasonic sensor 304 is located between the two electronic sensors 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the arrangement and relative positions of the force sensor, electronic sensor, temperature sensor, and ultrasonic sensor can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.
[0068] In this embodiment, four electronic sensors 300 are provided, and the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is divided into Laplace signal and lead I ECG signal, combined with... Figure 7 As shown, an exemplary schematic diagram of the use of a flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device is illustrated. The flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device can be placed on a person's chest, back, or wrist. When attached to the chest, at least two electronic sensors 300 can be attached to the left and right chest respectively. When attached to the wrist, the electronic sensors 300 obtain a lead I electrocardiogram signal by touching the flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device with the other hand. An impedance signal is obtained by injecting high-frequency alternating current into two of the electronic sensors 300.
[0069] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the model processing unit of the physiological data processing module is specifically used for:
[0070] Multimodal physiological signals are input into a pre-trained data-driven deep learning model to obtain an initial arterial blood pressure map signal output by the data-driven deep learning model. The data-driven deep learning model is trained using multimodal physiological signal samples as samples and arterial blood pressure map signal samples as labels.
[0071] Multimodal physiological signals are input into a pre-trained deep learning model combining partial differential equations to obtain the initial arterial blood pressure map signal output by the deep learning model combining partial differential equations. The deep learning model combining partial differential equations is trained using multimodal physiological signals as samples and arterial blood pressure map signals as labels.
[0072] Multimodal physiological signals are input into a blood pressure signal model based on physiological mechanisms to obtain the initial arterial blood pressure map signal output by the blood pressure signal model based on physiological mechanisms.
[0073] Arterial blood pressure signals are obtained by feature fusion of multiple initial arterial blood pressure signals using a fusion network.
[0074] Specifically, data-driven deep learning models include, but are not limited to, Physical Information Neural Networks (PINN), Weak Adversarial Networks (WAN), and Deep Generative Model Networks (DGM). Deep learning models combining partial differential equations include, but are not limited to, multidimensional Navier-Stokes equations and blood flow-pulse wave velocity relationship equations. Blood pressure signal models based on physiological mechanisms include, but are not limited to, physiological models based on pulse wave velocity and physiological models based on changes in vessel diameter, such as multi-wavelength pulse wave models, models combining pulse wave propagation time and photoplethysmography (PIR), and multi-wavelength pulse wave PIR models. Fusion networks include, but are not limited to, Multiple Perceptrons (MLPs) or Soft Max functions, which fuse features from multiple initial arterial blood pressure map signals to obtain an arterial blood pressure map signal.
[0075] Understandably, data-driven deep learning models, deep learning models combining partial differential equations, and blood pressure signal models based on physiological mechanisms are three completely different methods for obtaining initial arterial blood pressure maps. Data-driven and deep learning models combining partial differential equations involve training and samples, making the initial arterial blood pressure maps they obtain more targeted. Furthermore, deep learning models combining partial differential equations are more general but less targeted than data-driven deep learning models. Blood pressure signal models based on physiological mechanisms obtain initial arterial blood pressure maps directly through mathematical formulas, making them more universal than the other two models. Combining these three methods can improve the accuracy of arterial blood pressure maps.
[0076] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device further includes a wireless transmission module.
[0077] When the physiological data processing module is set on the sensor module, the wireless transmission module is used to send multimodal physiological signals to the physiological data processing module, and the wireless transmission module is used to output the arterial blood pressure graph signal obtained by the physiological data processing module.
[0078] When the physiological data processing module and the sensor module are set up separately, the wireless transmission module is used to send multimodal physiological signals to the physiological data processing module.
[0079] Understandably, if the physiological data processing module and the sensor module are set up separately, the physiological data processing module can be integrated into the display device for easy display to the user. The display device can be a mobile phone, tablet, computer, watch, glasses, etc.
[0080] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the flexible arterial blood pressure signal measurement device further includes:
[0081] The sensor module is mounted on the substrate, which can be attached to human skin and is made of a flexible material.
[0082] The protection section and sensor module are located between the substrate and the protection section.
[0083] Understandably, by using a substrate made of flexible material to mount electronic sensors, the light emitter and photodetector of the optical sensor can be aligned with the through-holes of the substrate to be directly attached to the skin, thereby acquiring pulse wave signals.
[0084] Furthermore, to improve the accuracy of the arterial blood pressure signal, multiple light emitters and photodetectors are used, each emitting light with a different wavelength, enabling the optical sensor to obtain multi-wavelength pulse wave signals. Because the pulse wave propagation time is extremely short, to ensure the acquisition of multi-wavelength pulse wave signals, multiple photodetectors are arranged around the substrate. This allows for comparison and acquisition of the optimal multi-wavelength pulse wave signal, while also increasing the distance between the light emitters and photodetectors, thus increasing the light propagation path and pulse wave propagation time. This reduces the sampling frequency required to acquire the pulse wave signal, ensuring accurate pulse wave signal acquisition while saving power.
[0085] Optionally, the protective part is made of waterproof material to extend the service life of the flexible arterial blood pressure measurement device.
