[0046] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0047] In order to enable effective treatment of patients, the treatment methods include: first-line behavioral therapy, second-line drug therapy, third-line injection of botulinum toxin, sacral nerve modulation, tibial nerve stimulation therapy, etc. Among them, tibial nerve stimulation therapy is to use a tibial nerve stimulation device, attach electrode patches to the user's skin, and a doctor inputs the current parameters required for treatment according to personal diagnostic experience. The tibial nerve stimulation device generates a corresponding stimulation current, which is transmitted through the electrode patches into the patient's skin and finally transmitted to the tibial nerve for patient treatment.

[0048] However, the currently commonly used tibial nerve stimulation devices have the following technical problems: During the process of transmitting the stimulation current from the skin to the tibial nerve, the stimulation current may undergo waveform distortion or amplitude attenuation, resulting in a difference between the current reaching the tibial nerve and the current displayed by the tibial nerve stimulation device, making the displayed current value inconsistent with the actual current value reaching the user's tibial nerve, thereby misleading doctors' treatment.

[0049] To solve the above problems, the following will introduce and explain in detail a method for visualizing current parameters of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation provided by the embodiments of the present application through the following specific embodiments.

[0050] Referring to Figure 1 , a flowchart showing a method for visualizing current parameters of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0051] In one embodiment, the method is applicable to a tibial nerve stimulation device, which is provided with electrode patches that can be attached to the skin of a patient. The tibial nerve stimulation device can be connected to a user terminal or a control terminal, and the user terminal and the control terminal can be a controller or a mobile phone terminal. Among them, an app can be set on the mobile phone terminal to control operations such as parameter startup or adjustment of the tibial nerve stimulation device through the app.

[0052] Among them, as an example, the method for visualizing current parameters of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation may include:

[0053] S11. Obtain impedance characteristic parameters of the patient's skin.

[0054] In one embodiment, the impedance characteristic parameter may be the impedance value of the user's skin.

[0055] In this embodiment, the impedance characteristic parameters include multiple impedance characteristic values.

[0056] Among them, as an example, step S11 may include the following sub-steps:

[0057] S111. After determining the stimulation area of the patient, arbitrarily select multiple points in the stimulation area as detection skin points.

[0058] S112. Randomly combine multiple detection skin points in pairs according to a preset spacing to obtain multiple detection combinations.

[0059] S113. Detect the skin resistance between the two detection skin points included in each detection combination to obtain multiple impedance characteristic values.

[0060] For example, if the stimulation area where the patient is to receive stimulation treatment is the arm, multiple points can be arbitrarily selected in the arm area as detection skin points. For example, 6 points are selected, namely points a, b, c, d, e, and f.

[0061] If the distance between two points is too small, the two points can be defaulted to the same point, and its impedance characteristic value can be ignored. These 6 points can be combined in pairs according to a preset distance to obtain multiple detection combinations. For example, if the distances between point a and points b, c, d, e, and f are all greater than the preset distance, then the 5 points a, b, c, d, e, and f can be combined in pairs to obtain 5 detection combinations; if the distances between point b and only points e and f are greater than the preset distance, then b can be combined in pairs with the 2 points e and f respectively to obtain 2 detection combinations, and so on.

[0062] Finally, detect the skin resistance between the two detected skin points included in each detection combination, so that multiple impedance characteristic values can be obtained.

[0063] S12. Use an artificial intelligence algorithm to calculate the attenuation ratio value corresponding to the impedance characteristic parameter.

[0064] After determining the impedance characteristic parameter, the attenuation ratio value corresponding to the attenuation of the current generated by the tibial nerve stimulation device in the human body can be calculated based on the impedance characteristic parameter.

[0065] In this embodiment, the impedance characteristic parameter includes multiple impedance characteristic values.

[0066] Among them, by way of example, step S12 may include the following sub-steps:

[0067] S121. Simulate and generate a human body simulation circuit according to the multiple impedance characteristic values.

[0068] In one embodiment, a simulation circuit regarding human body impedance can be preset in advance, then the multiple impedance characteristic values can be summed and averaged, and finally the average value can be substituted into the simulation circuit to obtain the human body simulation circuit.

[0069] Refer to Figure 2 , which shows the circuit schematic diagram of the human body simulation circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Specifically, the simulation circuit can be two common human body impedance simulation circuits: a weighted perception current circuit or a weighted let-go current circuit, and the impedance value obtained by summing and averaging can be substituted into Figure 2 R2 or R3 of

[0071] S122. Use an artificial intelligence algorithm to calculate the simulated current values corresponding to the human body simulation circuit under multiple different stimulation voltages, where the multiple different stimulation voltages are arbitrarily extracted from the tolerable treatment voltage range section of the patient.

[0072] In one embodiment, a treatment voltage range that the patient being treated can tolerate can be obtained, and then a plurality of different stimulation voltages can be arbitrarily selected from this range. For example, if the range is 5 - 10 volts, voltages such as 5 volts, 5.2 volts, 5.5 volts, 6 volts, 6.9 volts, 7.3 volts... 9.2 volts, etc. can be selected within this range.

[0073] Then each stimulation voltage is added to the human body simulation circuit, and the current value of the human body under the action of each stimulation voltage is collected.

[0074] S123. According to the preset mapping relation table, obtain the set current value corresponding to each of the stimulation voltages, calculate the difference between each of the set current values and the corresponding analog current values, and obtain a plurality of current differences.

[0075] In one embodiment, the preset mapping table may include the stimulation voltage and the set current value corresponding to the stimulation voltage, where the set current value is the set current value expected to reach the user's tibial nerve.

[0076] Then, the difference between each set current value and the corresponding analog current value can be calculated to obtain a plurality of current differences.

[0077] The current difference is the difference in the attenuation of the current in the human body.

[0078] S124. Calculate the ratio of each of the current differences to the corresponding set current value to obtain a plurality of current ratios.

[0079] S125. Sum and average the plurality of current ratios to obtain an attenuation ratio value.

[0080] Divide each current difference by its corresponding set current value to obtain the current ratio corresponding to each current difference.

[0081] Finally, sum and then average the plurality of current ratios to obtain an attenuation ratio value.

[0082] S13. Based on the attenuation ratio value, determine the stimulation current parameters reaching the user's tibial nerve, and visually display the stimulation current parameters.

[0083] After determining the attenuation ratio value of the human body, the stimulation current parameters actually reaching the user's tibial nerve can be calculated based on the attenuation ratio, and the actual parameters can be displayed to reduce errors.

[0084] Since the skin impedance of users of different ages may also be different, and the impedance value obtained by calculation is only a reference value, in one of the embodiments, in order to further conform to the actual personal situation of the user, the stimulation current parameters include several different stimulation current values.

[0085] Among them, by way of example, step S13 may include the following sub-steps:

[0086] S131. Add the attenuation ratio value to several different preset ratio values respectively to obtain several different adjusted ratio values.

[0087] Among them, the preset ratio value may be an error value set by the user. For example, if the attenuation ratio is 5%, the preset ratio values may be +0.5%, -0.5%, +1%, -1%. After adding the attenuation ratio value to different preset ratio values respectively, 5.5%, 4.5%, 6%, and 4% are obtained, a total of 4 adjusted ratio values.

[0088] S132. Calculate the stimulation current reaching the user's tibial nerve according to each of the adjusted ratio values respectively to obtain several different stimulation current values.

[0089] Then calculate the stimulation current reaching the user's tibial nerve based on the adjusted ratio value.

[0090] Specifically, taking the above example as an illustration, a total of 4 adjusted ratio values of 5.5%, 4.5%, 6%, and 4% are obtained. Assuming that the stimulation voltage is 10 volts and the corresponding set current value is 1 ampere, based on the four adjusted ratio values, the calculated stimulation current values are 0.945 ampere, 0.955 ampere, 0.94 ampere, and 0.96 ampere respectively.

[0091] In order to facilitate doctors to view the patient information corresponding to different stimulation current values for reference by doctors, in one embodiment, step S13 may further include the following sub-steps:

[0092] S133. Based on a preset quantity value, respectively search for the patient medical record information of recovered patients corresponding to each of the stimulation current values, and the patient medical record information includes disease symptom information and treatment feedback information.

[0093] Assume that the preset quantity value is 5, and 5 patient medical record information corresponding to each stimulation current value can be searched, and each patient medical record information is the medical record information of recovered patients.

[0094] In one embodiment, the patient medical record information includes disease symptom information and treatment feedback information.

[0095] When searching for multiple patient medical record information, there may be patients with the same symptoms as the current patient. In order to facilitate doctors to view the same information, in one embodiment, after step S133, the method may include:

[0096] S21. Obtain the personal symptom information of the patient, and calculate the information similarity between the personal symptom information and each of the disease symptom information to obtain several information similarities.

[0097] Specifically, the information similarity between two pieces of information can be calculated through a neural network.

[0098] S22. Screen the target similarity with the largest value from the several information similarities.

[0099] S23. If the target similarity is greater than the preset similarity, dynamically render and display the corresponding stimulation current value of the target similarity on the terminal screen.

[0100] S24. If the target similarity is less than the preset similarity, dynamically render and display the corresponding patient medical record information of the target similarity on the terminal screen.

[0101] When the target similarity is greater than the preset similarity, the corresponding stimulation current value of the target similarity can be sent to the control terminal, and the control terminal dynamically renders and displays it on the terminal screen, so that the doctor can first view this similar stimulation current value that enabled the previous patient to recover.

[0102] When the target similarity is less than the preset similarity, the corresponding patient medical record information of the target similarity can be sent to the control terminal, and the control terminal dynamically renders and displays it on the terminal screen, so that the doctor can first view the patient medical record information of this similar previous patient who recovered, for the doctor's reference.

[0103] In one embodiment, the dynamic rendering method can be to display it in a pop-up window or prompt or vibration manner, or dynamic effects such as flashing can also be added to the screen.

[0104] S134. Use several of the stimulation current values and the corresponding patient medical record information for each stimulation current value to create a treatment information table.

[0105] S135. Send the treatment information table to a preset control terminal, so that the control terminal renders and visually displays different stimulation current values in the treatment information table on the terminal screen for the doctor's reference.

[0106] Since there are multiple calculated stimulation current values, the stimulation current values and the several patient medical record information corresponding to each stimulation current value can be executed into an instruction information table, and finally the treatment information table is sent to a preset control terminal, so that the control terminal can render and visually display different stimulation current values in the treatment information table on the terminal screen for the doctor's reference.

[0107] Specifically, the treatment information table has two columns. The left column is the stimulation current value, and the right column is the patient medical record information.

[0108] The control terminal can gradually display a column of the treatment information table regarding the stimulation current value from hidden to highlighted in a fade-in manner.

[0109] In this embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for visualizing current parameters for transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, and its beneficial effect is that: the present invention can obtain the impedance characteristics of the patient's skin, then determine the current attenuation ratio of the current in the human body due to the impedance characteristics based on an artificial intelligence algorithm, and finally calculate the stimulation current actually reaching the user's tibial nerve using the attenuation ratio and visually display the stimulation current on the control terminal to improve the accuracy of the display for doctors' treatment reference.
