BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0015] Figure 1 It is a system block diagram of the post-fall rescue supervision system of this application.
[0016] Explanation of the accompanying drawings: 1. smart ring; 2. smart necklace; 3. control module. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.
[0018] The embodiment of the present application discloses a post-fall rescue monitoring system.
[0019] Reference Figure 1 A post-fall rescue monitoring system includes a smart ring 1, a smart necklace 2 and a protective mechanism, wherein the protective mechanism includes a protective cap. In other embodiments, the protective mechanism may also be other carriers, not limited to the protective cap; the protective cap includes a cap body, a control module 3 encapsulated in the cap body and a protective component installed on the cap body; the control module 3 is electrically connected to the smart necklace 2 and the smart ring 1 and is used for data analysis related to fall protection.
[0020] Among them, the control module 3 is configured as: The user's physiological indicators, limb movement information and acceleration data sent by the acceleration detection unit pre-installed in the smart necklace 2 are obtained through the smart ring 1; wherein the user's physiological indicators include blood oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate variability (i.e., the difference between the real-time heart rate and the standard value) and other physiological indicators.
[0021] Specifically, the smart ring 1 is integrated with sensor devices for monitoring and recording different physiological signals such as heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, etc., an accelerometer / IMU module for monitoring the three-dimensional momentum of the hand, and a Bluetooth communication module for external data exchange. In this embodiment, the smart necklace 2 should at least be an electronic necklace with Bluetooth communication function and 3G / 4G / 5G networking, and the smart necklace can be interconnected with the preset cloud; and the smart necklace 2 is pre-installed with an accelerometer.
[0022] It is understandable that when the user wears the smart necklace 2, the acceleration data sent by the acceleration sensor changes accordingly when the user's posture changes, and there is an obvious data change when a large-scale action such as falling occurs. The analysis of acceleration is prior art, so it is not repeated here.
[0023] Smart ring 1 monitors the user's heart rate, blood oxygen, heart rate variability, sleep quality, exercise volume and other physiological indicators in real time, and transmits the user's physiological indicator data to smart necklace 2 via Bluetooth. The smart ring is equipped with daily monitoring mode (user static) and dynamic monitoring mode (user dynamic). In the daily monitoring mode, the blood oxygen / blood pressure is collected once every 20 minutes, and the heart rate is collected once every 5 minutes; in the dynamic monitoring mode, the physiological indicators are collected once every 1 second for 10 seconds, and the average data is displayed when the dynamic data stops, and the output time is 30 seconds.
[0024] Control module 3 is configured as follows: Acquire physiological indicators, limb movement information, and acceleration data sent by the acceleration detection unit pre-installed in the smart necklace 2, and conduct a comprehensive fall analysis; The protection mechanism is controlled to impose protection measures on the user according to the analysis results.
[0025] The fall analysis includes: if the data fed back by the smart ring 1 and the data fed back by the smart necklace 2 both meet the preset fall conditions, it is determined that the user meets the fall protection conditions, and the protection mechanism is ordered to take protective measures for the user.
[0026] Exemplary description: When a user falls, physiological indicators such as heart rate will change instantly. Therefore, the smart ring 1 detects that the user's physiological indicators change rapidly within 10 seconds.
[0027] The acceleration data of smart ring 1 and smart necklace 2 reflects the user's body dynamics. The system will pre-set the threshold of acceleration data. Under the above heart rate conditions, when the acceleration of smart ring 1 and smart necklace 2 exceeds the threshold, the system will consider that there is a risk of falling. In addition, by analyzing acceleration data or other sensor data (such as gyroscopes), the system can identify specific motion states, thereby distinguishing between fall events and other daily activities.
[0028] Regarding the protection component, it is a quick-inflation structure pre-installed on the cap body. When it is determined that the user meets the fall protection conditions, the quick-inflation structure receives the start control instruction sent by the control module 3 to perform a quick-inflation action; the quick-inflation structure is usually implemented using a high-pressure gas cylinder storing compressed gas (such as CO2), and releases the gas through a mechanical or electronic valve that can be opened quickly. Exemplary: the electric valve opens the valve or the electric push rod pushes the needle to puncture the diaphragm on the micro gas cylinder storing compressed gas, and the high-pressure gas will quickly fill the inner side of the deformable leather / rubber structure layer coated on the cap body to form an airbag; the structure can complete the inflation of the protective cap in a very short time, allowing it to expand with a certain impact resistance; it can be understood that the outer side of the protective cap in this embodiment is used as an airbag expansion area, thereby protecting the user's head to reduce the impact caused by falling.
[0029] At the same time, if the data fed back by the smart ring 1 or the data fed back by the control module 3 meets the preset call for help conditions, the built-in communication module of the smart necklace 2 will automatically send an emergency help signal, and the device will send a help message to the preset emergency contact or service center, and send the user's location (precondition: the ring and necklace integrate GPS location information), so as to provide timely rescue to the user. The above help information can be sent to a third-party medical care platform with which a cooperative relationship has been established, and in addition to the system automatically determining the help request, the user can also actively trigger the help request through buttons, voice, etc. to ensure safety of use.
[0030] According to the above content, after the application of this system, the physiological indicators, the motion monitoring information of the smart ring 1 and the motion monitoring information of the smart necklace 2 can be integrated to perform fall analysis. On the premise of having relatively high-precision fall judgment accuracy, the protective mechanism can be controlled in time to provide protection for the elderly after a fall, and call for help in time when necessary.
[0031] In another embodiment of the present application, although the protection mechanism protects the user when the user falls, there may still be a situation where the user fails to discover the health problem in time, or the user is injured again by forcing himself to get up after falling, so the control module 3 is configured as follows: When the user meets the fall protection conditions, timing is performed based on the time when the user falls, secondary injury monitoring and analysis of the user is performed within a preset time t3 (for example, within 2 hours), and a help message is sent based on the analysis results.
[0032] Among them, the user's secondary injury monitoring and analysis is carried out by monitoring the user's heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure and other physiological indicators (using dynamic monitoring mode). When these physiological indicators do not meet the preset thresholds, it is determined that there is a suspicion of secondary injury and further medical examination is required.
[0033] According to the above settings, a complete monitoring mechanism can be formed from monitoring user falls and analyzing them to protecting users when they fall, as well as subsequent continuous monitoring and analysis after protecting the users.
[0034] In another embodiment of the present application, a radar detection module is also deployed in the user's home, such as a Soli radar, which is used to detect changes in the user's posture and has an integrated Bluetooth / WIFI / 4G / 5G module, wirelessly connected to the control module 3; there can be multiple radar detection modules, distributed in the activity areas of the elderly.
[0035] When the user forgets to wear the smart ring 1 or the smart necklace 2, in order to ensure that the protective component of the protective cap can still play a protective role, the following configuration is set: Smart Ring 1 is configured as follows: If the user's physiological indicators are collected and a communication connection with the smart necklace 2 is not successfully established within the time t1 after the collection, a communication relationship is established with the control module 3. That is, when there is no smart necklace 2, 2 skips the smart necklace 2 and directly connects to the control module 3, and sends a trigger signal for updating the fall analysis to the control module 3.
[0036] Correspondingly, the control module 3 is configured as follows: if a trigger signal 1 is received, when the data fed back by the smart ring 1 and the data fed back by the radar detection module both meet the preset fall conditions, it is determined that the user meets the fall protection conditions.
[0037] That is, if the user is not wearing the smart necklace 2, the system will conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the monitoring information of the radar detection module and the smart ring 1 to determine whether the user has fallen.
[0038] Another case: Smart Necklace 2 is configured as: If the user's physiological indicators transmitted by the smart ring 1 are not received within the time t2, the preset alternative protection process is executed, and a trigger signal 2 for updating the fall analysis is sent to the control module 3.
[0039] Correspondingly, the control module 3 is configured as follows: if trigger signal 2 is received, when the data fed back by the smart necklace 2 and the data fed back by the radar detection module both meet the preset fall conditions, it is determined that the user meets the fall protection conditions.
[0040] That is, if the user is not wearing the smart ring 1, the system will conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the monitoring information of the radar detection module and the smart necklace 2 to determine whether the user has fallen. Among them, the durations of t1 and t2 are preset values.
[0041] In another case, the control module 3 is configured as follows: if the signals of the smart ring 1 and the smart necklace 2 are lost, when the data fed back by the radar detection module meets the preset fall conditions, it is determined that the user meets the fall protection conditions.
[0042] According to the above content, no matter when the user forgets to wear the smart ring 1 or the smart necklace, the system can still maintain at least combining the two to determine whether the user has fallen, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the fall analysis; at the same time, under extreme conditions where the user does not wear the smart ring 1 or the smart necklace 2, the system can also rely on the radar detection module pre-installed in the user's activity area to perform fall analysis, that is, there is a bottom line measure to improve the safety of use.
[0043] The above exemplary description: when the user's physiological indicators are collected, but the data cannot be successfully transmitted to the smart necklace 2 within the preset t1 duration, it means that the user is not wearing the smart necklace 2. At this time, the smart ring 1 establishes a separate communication connection with the protective cap and transmits the data to the protective cap. Similarly, when the smart necklace 2 does not receive the physiological indicators transmitted by the smart ring 1 within the preset t2 duration, it means that the user is not wearing the smart ring 1. At this time, the smart necklace 2 establishes a separate communication connection with the protective cap and transmits the data monitored by the smart necklace 2 to the protective cap.
[0044] In another embodiment of the present application, the smart necklace 2 is also configured to: upon receiving a request for help input by the user, initiate a preset emergency call request and send the positioning data to a designated third-party rescue platform.
[0045] When a specific user encounters an emergency, he or she can actively send a help message by touching the screen, using voice commands, or other input methods. Once the system detects an abnormality or receives a help message, the smart necklace 2 will automatically dial a preset emergency number, such as 120; that is, the smart necklace 2 is equipped with GPS or other positioning technology to accurately obtain the user's location information. While dialing the emergency call, the positioning data will be immediately sent to a third-party rescue platform, such as a community health center or emergency rescue system, to ensure that rescuers can quickly and accurately find the user's location.
[0046] Secondly, the smart necklace 2 is connected to the intelligent digital information platform, which can realize real-time information sharing. After receiving the help message, the rescuers can understand the patient's condition in advance through the patient information uploaded on the platform and make rescue preparations in time.
[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, the smart necklace 2 is further configured as: Perform preset health analysis based on the user's physiological indicators and generate a personal health plan based on the analysis results; Specifically, the collected data will be analyzed to identify the user's health status and possible health risks. For example, the Smart Necklace 2 will compare the user's heart rate variability data with the health standard data obtained from the cloud to assess heart health risks. Based on the evaluation and analysis results, a personalized health plan will be generated. This plan includes dietary advice, exercise plans, sleep habit improvements, etc., designed to help users improve or maintain their health.
[0048] Based on personal health plan; The preset t4 duration is used as the reminder cycle; Matching reminders are sent every t4 duration.
[0049] Specifically, the smart necklace 2 will set a reminder cycle according to the user's health plan. For example, it will send a reminder every t4 time (assuming t4 is 3 hours). The reminder can be through vibration, sound or visual signals to notify the user to take certain actions, such as drinking water, taking medicine on time, standing up and moving, checking the body, etc.
[0050] The user executes the suggestions in the health plan according to the reminder and continuously monitors its effects through the smart necklace 2, so that the smart necklace 2 can adjust the health plan according to the user's progress and feedback and give reasonable health suggestions and warnings.
[0051] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a post-fall rescue supervision method.
[0052] A post-fall rescue supervision method uses the post-fall rescue supervision system as described above to perform post-fall rescue.
[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
