Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent medical care, and more specifically, to a multi-sensory integrated AI and VR nursing method, device, medium and program product. Background Art

[0002] The prevalence of malnutrition in surgical operations remains high. Reduced food intake caused by disease, preoperative preparations such as fasting before surgery, inability to eat normally for a long time after surgery, surgical trauma stress, gastrointestinal insufficiency, and adverse reactions of various treatments can all cause increased body catabolism and self-tissue consumption, resulting in malnutrition, damage to the body's tissue and organ functions, increase the incidence of complications and mortality, and affect the patient's clinical outcomes and quality of life. Nutritional therapy is an important means for accelerated recovery surgery to promote safe and rapid recovery of perioperative patients. The guidelines recommend that enteral nutrition should be the first choice for trauma patients with existing or partial gastrointestinal function and certain absorption function, and for patients who still cannot take in enough nutrition through oral nutritional preparations, tube feeding enteral nutrition is the first choice. Enteral nutrition can provide key macro- and micronutrients for individuals who cannot meet the oral nutritional requirements, protect the gastric mucosal barrier, and reduce the incidence of enterogenic infection. However, the commonly used tube feeding enteral nutrition supply method in clinical practice lacks the stimulation of food color, aroma and taste, and it is difficult to effectively promote the secretion of digestive juices and gastrointestinal motility, which affects the patient's recovery effect.

[0003] Sham feeding refers to the phenomenon that after food enters the mouth, even if it does not reach the stomach, the color, aroma and other sensory stimulations of the food stimulate the vagus nerve in the brain and then stimulate the stomach and intestines to secrete gastric juice. The ancient Chinese allusion of "looking at plums to quench thirst" suggests that the conditioned reflex of sour plums is used to stimulate the secretion of saliva. The research team found in the early animal experiments on traumatic SD rats that multi-sensory stimulation assisted enteral nutrition can improve the structure of intestinal flora and reduce serum inflammatory factors. Based on this, the research team innovatively proposed a new concept of "sham feeding", that is, simulating a normal eating state, stimulating brain neurons through integrated visual, auditory and olfactory sensory stimulation, and solving the problem that surgical patients' fasting parenteral nutrition and tube feeding enteral nutrition supply methods lack color, aroma and taste stimulation, and cannot effectively mobilize brain neurons to induce gastrointestinal related physiological reactions and functional expressions. Based on the integration of medicine and engineering, the team has developed a virtual reality (VR) sham feeding device with integrated visual, auditory and olfactory stimulation in the early stage. At present, the device has been authorized with a national invention patent (patent number: ZL 202010753133.1). The device provides a panoramic dining scene and chewing, swallowing and environmental sound effects through the immersive display and built-in speakers of the VR headset set, enabling multi-angle viewing of food and simulating the dynamic presentation of food when it is clamped. Patients can pull the trigger to achieve the displacement of the dining scene and press the call bell in the scene to call the waiter for interaction. Patients can immersively experience the audio-visual and olfactory stimulation close to real dining in a virtual environment, and preliminary clinical trials have verified good results.

[0004] However, the team found in the experiment that the VR sham feeding device and nursing technology in the existing patents have the following problems in application and promotion: First, the patient has limited activities and significantly reduced self-care ability due to body damage and medical catheter placement after surgery, which makes it inconvenient to operate the handle with both hands, but the existing VR sham feeding device must use the handle to press buttons and three-dimensional space control, and the operation process is cumbersome and error-prone; second, the VR sham feeding device still faces challenges in simulating the real food experience, especially the lack of accuracy and delay gap of the odor spray function based on food recognition, and the patient needs to manually click the button to trigger the spray of specific food odors during sham feeding treatment. The above-mentioned current problems reduce the immersive experience of patients during sham feeding, affect the patient's compliance with sham feeding treatment, and thus affect the quality and effectiveness of the patient's postoperative digestive function rehabilitation. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides an AI and VR nursing method, device, medium and program product that integrates multiple senses; the method of the present invention develops a voice control module of a VR sham feeding device through AI, improves the intelligence, convenience, autonomy and question-answer interactivity of the VR sham feeding device, so that patients do not need to operate with both hands, but only need to control the device through simple voice commands, solving the problem that patients with restricted populations cannot smoothly use the handle to press buttons and operate the VR sham feeding device in three-dimensional space. And by developing an AI algorithm for sniffing intention recognition, the accurate analysis and conversion of the device signal is realized, so that when the user clamps the food to the mouth through the handle, the device can automatically identify and trigger the food sniffing accurate identification odor spraying device to accurately spray the corresponding odor, solve the problem of insufficient accuracy of the odor spraying function and the existence of delay gap, thereby improving the pleasure of use, and is expected to enhance the use effect of the VR sham feeding integrated device, so that patients with inconvenient operation can fully enjoy the treatment of the VR sham feeding device.

[0014] This application has the following beneficial effects: 1. Develop a voice interaction module for an artificial feeding intelligent nursing device integrating AI+VR; In order to further solve the limitations of limited patient activities, inconvenient operation and insufficient device interactivity, this project intends to add an intelligent voice interaction module based on the VR fake feeding device that integrates audio, visual and olfactory senses. This module adopts a dynamic maximum matching algorithm based on dictionary improvement. By constructing a domain dictionary, dynamically selecting the maximum matching length and the priority matching principle, it can effectively reduce invalid matching and ambiguity, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm. On this basis, a simple startup interface is designed to guide users to start the VR program. In the VR environment, an easily recognizable AI assistant icon is designed, and users can activate the AI ​​assistant through voice or visual prompts. A dialogue interface is designed to display the interaction history and current dialogue content between the user and the AI ​​assistant. Functions such as voice recognition, voice question and answer, and voice synthesis are realized, so that patients can control the device through simple voice commands, communicate with the device in real time, and improve the system's question and answer interactivity.

[0015] 2. Develop an accurate odor emission algorithm for the artificial feeding intelligent nursing device integrating AI+VR; In order to achieve the goal that when the user picks up food to the mouth through the handle, the device can intelligently identify and trigger the olfactory smell box to accurately spray the corresponding smell, the following R&D steps are systematically carried out. First, start to design and make the olfactory smell box. Use ZW software for 3D modeling and print out the physical object. The olfactory smell box will be equipped with key components such as cotton swabs to fill holes and oscillation wave plates to ensure that the smell can be released evenly and effectively. Connect the olfactory smell box to the computer through a gateway device to achieve real-time signal transmission. Then write a signal conversion program to ensure that the patient voice interaction issues a command to eat a certain food, or when the handle is close to the head display device within 32 cm (the specific threshold is not limited to 32 cm), the olfactory smell box can synchronously receive the signal and trigger the spray of the smell. Finally, the written odor precise spray AI algorithm will be used to perfectly integrate the virtual and real worlds. It is planned that through this technology, patients can not only taste food in virtual reality, but also smell the corresponding smell of real food. During use, VR devices will help patients easily switch between various scenes and seamlessly experience different foods, thereby completing the nutritional supply process under nearly realistic visual, auditory and olfactory stimulation. The completion of this research and development step will greatly enhance the user experience of VR fake feeding equipment, making it closer to the sensory experience of the real world.

[0016] 3. Form the operation technology of artificial feeding intelligent nursing device integrating AI+VR; Based on the AI+VR sham feeding intelligent nursing device with integrated vision, hearing and smell, we develop AI algorithms for dining intention matching, food picking intention recognition, health consultation Q&A and environmental interaction for patients who are fasting or receiving enteral and parenteral nutrition alone, and develop related supporting software and technologies (such as AI+VR interactive scenes, feedback animation technology, related function libraries, etc.), present specific scenes in a targeted manner, so that patients can interact with humans and machines in virtual scenes and choose food independently through AI intelligent voice dialogue. At the same time, it assists visual, auditory and olfactory stimulation, so that patients who are fasting or receiving enteral and parenteral nutrition alone can deeply experience the simulated state of normal life and eating through sensory stimulation with high motion feedback, thereby promoting the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juices in the body and promoting the early recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients. At the same time, it changes the traditional patient education model, increases the fun and immersion of health guidance through VR technology, improves self-nutrition management capabilities, and improves the quality of life. Based on this technology, a randomized controlled trial was conducted to study the effects of the panoramic nutrition management system under the intervention of AI+VR technology on the intestinal flora balance, inflammatory immune function and gastrointestinal function recovery of patients who were fasting or receiving simple enteral and parenteral nutrition, and transformation was carried out on the basis of proven effectiveness.

[0017] Compared with the existing patents studied by the team in the early stage: This invention uses AI empowerment to design a matching algorithm for intelligent voice interaction, add an intelligent voice control module, develop an algorithm for accurate AI odor spraying, increase the intelligent human-computer interaction experience, and innovate equipment functions. Provide convenient voice-controlled sham feeding care for patients who do not eat orally and have limited activities, and shorten the duration of the patient's non-physiological state. Change the current situation that the commonly used parenteral and enteral nutrition supply methods in clinical practice lack the sensory stimulation of food color, aroma and taste, which makes it difficult to mobilize related physiological reactions and functional expressions, affects the normal secretion of digestive glands and gastrointestinal motility, and thus affects the patient's rehabilitation effect. Provide more effective and convenient nutritional treatment for patients who do not eat orally. At the same time, the research and development of sham feeding intelligent devices and nursing technologies that integrate AI+VR can not only help patients recover safely, but also effectively improve the quality and efficiency of clinical nurses' care. The following defects of previous studies are well resolved: the operation process is cumbersome and error-prone due to the limited activity of patients after surgery and significantly reduced self-care ability; there are challenges in simulating the experience of real things, especially the lack of accuracy and delay of the odor emission function based on food recognition, and the need to manually click a button to trigger the emission of specific food odors during sham feeding treatment; and the dishes of the technical solution disclosed in the patent are unprocessed products (the dishes ordered in the present invention are mature menus), which mainly increase the results of the display screen, and do not involve changes in sitting posture, external auxiliary modules, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a multi-sensory integrated AI and VR nursing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: S101: receiving a first instruction to enter a virtual scene, and the subject enters the virtual scene to generate a virtual subject; the virtual scene includes a tasting area; In some embodiments, the term "subject" or "person to be tested" or "sample to be tested" as used herein refers to any animal (e.g., mammal), including but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents, etc., which will be the recipient of a specific treatment. Generally, the terms "subject" and "patient" are used interchangeably herein when referring to a human subject. Preferably, the subject is a human.

[0025] In some embodiments, the virtual scene includes any one or more of the following: a virtual Chinese restaurant scene, a virtual fruit store scene, and a virtual pastry shop scene; each virtual scene also includes a visiting area; Optionally, after S101 and before S102, the method further includes: receiving an instruction to move a virtual subject to different positions in the virtual scene, and displaying corresponding sham objects at different positions; first observing the environment, using a handle to move to different positions in the visiting area, and displaying different sham objects in front of different positions; receiving an instruction to select different sham objects in the virtual scene, and obtaining the selected sham objects; the selected sham objects will appear in the tasting area; wherein the sham object selection instruction can be voice, or a menu can be called up by touching a bell in the virtual scene, and the subject can independently select the sham objects appearing on the menu through an external handle or other device; medical staff can also assist in the operation of selecting the required sham objects on a computer connected to the VR device. The menu of the virtual Chinese restaurant scene includes two categories: signature Chinese food (cold tofu, Xiangxi bacon, spicy crayfish, maocai, sugar-coated fruits, scallion pancakes, etc.) and special foods. The menu can be switched according to needs, and the selected fake objects will appear in the tasting area; in the virtual fruit store scene, different fake objects can be directly taken in the visiting area, or different fake objects can be selected and the selected fake objects will appear in the tasting area; the menu of the virtual pastry shop scene includes desserts (tiramisu, strawberry ice cream, cake, whole wheat biscuits, etc.) and drinks (cappuccino, milk, barley tea, etc.). The menu can be switched according to needs, and the selected fake objects will appear in the tasting area.

[0026] S102: receiving a second instruction for the virtual subject to move to a tasting area in the virtual scene, and the virtual subject moves to the tasting area; at least one fake feeding object is placed in the tasting area; In some embodiments, between S102 and S103, the method further includes S1021, determining whether the perspective of the virtual subject is parallel to the ground in the virtual scene, if so, executing step S103; if not, giving a prompt to switch the perspective, after switching the perspective, the perspective of the virtual subject is parallel to the ground in the virtual scene, and then executing step S103; specifically, the visual switching can be a subject or external auxiliary operation, and the visual switching includes two modes: default and ground parallel. After clicking, the VR perspective can be switched. In the default state, the user can sit or stand; the ground parallel mode makes the direction of the virtual helmet parallel to the ground, which is suitable for lying down or lying on your back; the external assistance module includes switching perspectives and quick transmission, and the switching perspective includes two modes: default / ground parallel. After clicking and lighting up, the perspective in VR is switched. The default is sitting or standing. The ground parallel mode is to make the virtual direction of the current helmet parallel to the ground, which is used when lying down or lying on your back. Quick transmission is an action in which an external person clicks on different transmission points to transmit the virtual player to the front of the food when the patient is not familiar with VR movement operations. The initial point is not around the food. The teleportation points include 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, each corresponding to a different location.

[0027] In some embodiments, the tasting area includes a turntable table; between S1021 and S103, the method further includes: receiving instructions for fake feeding objects in the tasting area, and changing the fake feeding objects in front of the virtual subject; when the tasting area is a turntable table, changing the fake feeding objects in front of the subject by rotating the turntable; autonomous operation, the subject uses a handle to touch the turntable, clicks and holds it, and moves the handle left and right to rotate the turntable.

[0028] S103: receiving an instruction for a fake feeding object, the fake feeding object appears in the hand of the virtual subject; identifying the category of the fake feeding object, the virtual subject gradually brings the fake feeding object closer to the mouth of the virtual subject, when the distance between the fake feeding object and the mouth of the virtual subject in the virtual scene exceeds a threshold or receiving an eating instruction, the odor spraying device receives an odor simulation instruction of the fake feeding object, starts the odor spraying device and generates a corresponding odor according to the category of the fake feeding object; In some embodiments, when the patient issues a command to eat a certain food through voice interaction, or when the handle is close to the VR helmet within 32 cm, the odor box receives the signal synchronously, which is the recognition of sniffing intention. The system transmits the electrical signal of the odor simulation command to the odor spraying device, which parses the command to identify the odor type and converts the electrical signal into an oscillation signal, and executes the corresponding odor simulation stimulation (transmitted to the ultrasonic chip in the odor spraying device, which atomizes the odor into tiny odor particles of 1 to 5 μm through 2.4 MHz high-frequency oscillation; In some embodiments, in some embodiments, if the fake feeding object is one kind, the odor spraying device receives the odor simulation command of one fake feeding object, and releases the single odor corresponding to the fake feeding object through the movement of the structure in the odor spraying device; optionally, if the fake feeding object includes at least two kinds, the odor spraying device receives the odor simulation command of at least two fake feeding objects, and releases the mixed odor corresponding to the fake feeding object through the movement of the structure in the odor spraying device; Optionally, the distance between the fake feeding object and the virtual subject's mouth in the virtual scene is the physical distance between the external handle and the subject's mouth (i.e., the VR helmet worn by the subject).

[0030] In some embodiments, the form of the instruction includes: voice form, external handle button form. If the form of the instruction is voice, the voice is recognized and analyzed to generate the corresponding operation instruction, and the virtual scene is switched. The voice form adopts a dynamic maximum matching algorithm based on dictionary improvement. By constructing a domain dictionary, dynamically selecting the maximum matching length and the priority matching principle, it can effectively reduce invalid matching and ambiguity, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm. A simple startup interface can be designed to guide the start of the VR program, such as an easily recognizable AI assistant icon, which can activate the AI ​​assistant through voice or visual prompts, display the user's interaction history and current conversation content with the AI ​​assistant, and realize voice recognition, voice question and answer, voice synthesis and other functions.

[0071] 2.3.4 Environmental Interaction: If you adjust the lighting or music in the virtual environment, the AI ​​assistant will make corresponding environmental setting adjustments.

[0072] When users seek emotional communication, AI assistants provide emotional support and responses.

[0073] Based on the above key technologies, clinical applications are carried out in order to achieve the interaction between virtual smell and vision, so that patients can see the food in the virtual scene and smell the odor at the same time, and realize intelligent human-computer interaction with the equipment, stimulate the body's gastrointestinal digestive juice secretion, and promote the early recovery of gastrointestinal function, providing a basis for the operation technology of the integrated AI+VR fake feeding intelligent nursing device.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, the research and development technology roadmap of the voice interaction module of the nursing device designed corresponding to the method steps is shown. The user opens the application VR program, the VR program environment is initialized, the VR program obtains and returns the knowledge base medical record background knowledge, the VR program assembles the virtual role play, obtains and returns the nutrition matching suggestions, and the VR program assembles the medical staff role; when the user inputs the voice, the voice server receives the voice and converts it into text, and then returns the text content to the VR program. At this time, the VR program updates the conversation message with the history record, and the VR program sends the conversation message to the general conversation AI module. The general conversation AI module determines the user's intention and transmits the activated answer to the VR program; the VR program receives the expression of dining intention and / or the expression of food picking intention. When the expression of dining intention is received, the matching menu is recommended according to the feedback of dining intention; when the expression of food picking intention is received, the appropriate dish is rotated according to the feedback of food picking intention and please use it. The expression of dining intention and the expression of food picking intention can be performed at the same time; the VR program can convert the text answer into an audio stream and drive the virtual character to perform the corresponding dialogue response action. The above dialogue cycle can be repeated.

[0075] like Figure 7 As shown, this is a technical roadmap for the research and development of the nursing device operation technology designed in the method steps, the user starts the application, the AI ​​assistant is initialized, the user interacts with the AI ​​assistant, voice recognition, and user intention determination. If the dining intention is determined, a matching menu is recommended based on the dining intention. If the intention to pick up dishes is determined, the dishes are rotated / the picking up dishes action is performed based on the picking up intention. If health consultation is determined, health information is provided based on the consultation content. If the need for environmental interaction is determined, the environmental settings are adjusted based on the environmental interaction needs. If emotional communication is determined, emotional support is provided based on the communication intention. The above-determined user intention voice is synthesized for feedback, and the corresponding virtual action is performed in the virtual environment. The user interacts with the AI ​​assistant after receiving the feedback.

[0076] like Figure 8As shown, a flowchart of a multi-sensory fusion algorithm provided by an embodiment of the present invention; wherein, from the "start" node, the system first receives input signals from the XR head display, the operating handle (including the virtual handle simulated by gesture recognition) and the odor spray module. Each signal is sent to the corresponding processing module (vision, hearing, smell, control) respectively. The control signal is processed separately to generate control feedback, which will be sent back to each processing module for adjustment. Visual, auditory and olfactory data are fused to synchronize multi-sensory data. An adaptive learning algorithm is applied to adjust the sensory output according to the user's historical data and preferences. The adjusted sensory output is sent to the corresponding module (display device, headphones, odor spray module). The system ends the entire process through feedback from the odor spray module. In some embodiments, a deep learning neural network can also be used to replace the traditional multi-sensory fusion algorithm to more efficiently process and fuse visual, auditory and olfactory data to achieve a more natural sensory fusion effect.

[0077] This project is based on the integrated audio-visual and olfactory VR fake feeding device developed in the early stage. Aiming at the problems of limited operation of patients in special populations, food recognition and precise odor spraying functions of VR fake feeding devices, this project innovatively develops AI+VR intelligent fake feeding nursing devices and technologies. The dynamic maximum matching algorithm based on dictionary improvement is adopted to realize the efficient and accurate voice recognition function of "whatever you want to eat, just say it"; the precise sniffer intention recognition algorithm is adopted to automatically trigger the olfactory odor box to accurately spray the corresponding odor when selecting food. The above-designed matching algorithm of intelligent voice interaction and precise odor spraying further enriches the functions of VR fake feeding devices, improves the interactivity and question-answering efficiency of the equipment, and provides users with a more realistic and natural immersive VR dining experience, making it closer to the sensory experience of the real world.
