Description

[0001] Nouns and pronouns relating to persons in this patent application are not limited to a specific gender. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to medical devices, and in particular to visual patient guidance. Background Art

[0003] Medical equipment such as CT machines can provide instructions to patients through visual patient instructions (VPI). These VPIs can generally only display fixed images and have a fixed viewing angle. During a CT scan, it is difficult for patients to see the image information throughout the entire process.

[0004] The camera on the CT system used to observe patients is also limited by a fixed installation angle, which means that doctors cannot observe the patient's condition throughout the scanning process. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a medical device.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a medical device for treating or diagnosing a human body, comprising: a frame; a base, which is mounted on the frame and has a motor; a visual information source; a camera, which is mounted on the base and is configured to collect video information of the human body; a display screen, which is mounted on the base and is configured to display information from the visual information source to provide visual patient guidance; a detection unit, which detects the orientation of the human body based on the video information of the human body, and the motor drives the base to rotate based on the orientation so that the display screen faces the human body.

[0007] In one embodiment, the display screen may be an LCD or OLED screen.

[0008] In one embodiment, the detection unit may detect one or more of the gender, age and expression of the human body based on the video information of the human body, and the visual information source provides information to the display screen accordingly.

[0009] In one embodiment, the motor can drive the base to rotate according to the orientation so that the camera faces the human body.

[0010] In one embodiment, the medical device may further include a control unit, which controls the visual information source to provide information to the display screen according to a workflow of the medical device.

[0011] The medical device of the present invention has a display screen that is always facing the patient to provide visual patient guidance. The LCD / OLED screen can display more expressions, which can be related to the gender, age and expression of the human body, and can also correspond to the workflow of the medical device, thereby guiding the patient's breathing, soothing the patient's emotions, and letting the patient understand the scanning status.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments.

[0021] Figure 1 1 is a schematic structural block diagram of a medical device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the medical device 100 may be a CT machine, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The medical device 100 is used to treat or diagnose a human body, and includes a frame 102, a base 104, a visual information source 112, a camera 110, a display screen 106, and a detection unit 114.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 104 is mounted on the frame 102 and has a motor (not shown).

[0023] The camera 110 is mounted on the base 104 and is configured to collect video information of a human body.

[0024] The display screen 106 is mounted on the base 104 and is configured to display information from the visual information source 112 to provide visual patient guidance. The display screen 106 can be, for example, an LCD or OLED screen. Using the characteristics of the LCD / OLED screen, the display screen 106 can display more expressions.

[0025] The detection unit 114 detects the position of the human body according to the video information of the human body, and the motor drives the base 104 to rotate according to the position so that the display screen 106 faces the human body. Therefore, no matter where the human body is, the display screen 106 faces the human body, which is convenient for the human body to view.

[0026] In this embodiment, the detection unit 114 further detects one or more of the sex, age and expression of the human body according to the video information of the human body, and the visual information source 112 provides information to the display screen 106 accordingly. That is, the information displayed on the display screen 106 is related to one or more of the sex, age and expression of the human body. The display screen 106 can soothe the patient's emotions through anthropomorphic animation, especially for children, which can effectively shorten the entire scanning time and reduce the possibility of injecting sedatives.

[0027] In this embodiment, the motor drives the base 104 to rotate according to the orientation of the human body so that the camera 110 faces the human body. Figure 1 As shown, the display screen 106 and the camera 110 are adjacent to each other and have the same or substantially the same orientation, so the display screen 106 and the camera 110 can face the human body at the same time.

[0028] The medical device 100 may further include a control unit 116, which may control the visual information source 112 to provide information to the display screen 106 according to the workflow of the medical device 100. For example, when the workflow of the medical device 100 enters a state such as sleeping, waiting for a patient, identifying a patient, starting scanning, etc., the display screen 106 may display corresponding information, such as a cartoon expression. The patient may remain still or hold his breath according to the visual patient guidance (such as an expression) on the display screen 106.

[0029] The medical device of the present invention has a display screen that is always facing the patient to provide visual patient guidance. The LCD / OLED screen can display more expressions, which can be related to the gender, age and expression of the human body, and can also correspond to the workflow of the medical device, thereby guiding the patient's breathing, soothing the patient's emotions, and letting the patient understand the scanning status.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
