[0001] manual Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of monitoring equipment, and in particular to a mobile monitoring device, a monitoring system, and a method for collecting and transmitting physiological parameter data of a wearer. Background Art
[0003] Currently, mobile monitoring devices (such as medical-grade wearable wireless sensor devices) typically have built-in batteries, achieving smaller size and lighter weight through more compact internal structure designs.

[0059] The purpose of the terms used herein is only to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present application. When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0060] The following will describe various embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the technical features of the various embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0061] First, referring to FIG1 , a mobile monitoring device 12 according to an embodiment of the present application will be exemplarily described. The mobile monitoring device 12 is configured to be removably attached to a wearer and collect physiological parameter data from the wearer. The mobile monitoring device 12 is communicatively connected to a target monitoring device and transmits the collected physiological parameter data to the target monitoring device. The target monitoring device may be one or more of a bedside monitor, a central station, a department-level workstation, and a hospital-level data center / hospital-level emergency center management device. The mobile monitoring device 12 includes a monitoring host 100 and an accessory unit 200a.
[0062] The monitoring host 100 includes a communication module 111 and a power supply module 112. The mobile monitoring device 12 is connected to the target monitoring device through the communication module 111 to send the physiological parameter data collected by the mobile monitoring device 12 to the target monitoring device. The communication module 111 can be a wireless communication module, which can include at least one of a Bluetooth module, a WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Services) communication module, a contactless (full-range) communication module, and a WIFI communication module. The power supply module 112 can include a rechargeable battery, which can be used to power the components of the mobile monitoring device 12 that require electricity.
[0063] The monitoring host 100 is detachably coupled to and communicates with the accessory portion 200a. This allows the monitoring host 100 to perform its monitoring functions while also allowing medical personnel to remove the monitoring host 100 for charging, battery replacement, cleaning, and disinfection, as needed. The accessory portion 200a has a first electrical connection 121, and the monitoring host 100 has a second electrical connection 113. Communication between the monitoring host 100 and the accessory portion 200a occurs via the first and second electrical connections 121, 113. In other words, communication between the monitoring host 100 and the accessory portion 200a is achieved through a physical connection.
[0064] The monitoring host 100 includes a shell and a first buckling portion and a second electrical connection portion provided on the shell, wherein the second electrical connection portion is a conductive contact. The shell can surround an internal space of the monitoring host, in which a first circuit board is provided, and the conductive contact is electrically connected to the circuit board. The accessory part includes a bottom shell and a second buckling portion and a connector receiving portion provided on the bottom shell, wherein a connector is provided in the connector receiving portion. The second buckling portion of the base corresponds in position to the first buckling portion of the monitoring host, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the monitoring host and the accessory part. The connector includes a shell, a second circuit board provided in the shell, and a first electrical connection portion, wherein the first electrical connection portion is a conductive pogo pin, which can be provided on the second circuit board and corresponds to the conductive contact. When the first buckling portion and the second buckling portion are buckled, the conductive contact and the conductive pogo pin are in contact to realize electrical connection.
[0065] The accessory portion 200a also includes a wearable portion 122 and a first memory 123. Optionally, the wearable portion 122 can be implemented as a base that can be used in conjunction with a wearable component such as a wristband, clip, or other structure to removably secure to a specific part of the user's body (e.g., wrist, arm, etc.). Thus, when the monitoring host 100 is coupled to the accessory portion 200a, the mobile monitoring device 12 can be removably secured to the wearer's specific body part via the wearable portion 122. Because the monitoring host 100 and the accessory portion 200a are removably coupled, if the monitoring host 100 battery is low, medical personnel can remove the monitoring host 100 and replace it without removing the wearable portion 122 from the user's body, thereby reducing intrusion to the user. The first memory 123 stores first configuration information for performing a first configuration of the mobile monitoring device 12. When the monitoring host 100 is coupled to the accessory portion 200a, the monitoring host 100 is configured to retrieve at least a portion of the first configuration information from the first memory 123 via the second electrical connection portion 113 and perform the first configuration. Thus, when the monitoring host 100 is low on power and the medical staff replaces the monitoring host 100, the newly replaced monitoring host 100 can automatically obtain at least part of the first configuration information from the first memory 123 and perform the first configuration after being coupled to the accessory part 200a, without the need for the medical staff to manually configure the monitoring host 100.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following information: wireless communication configuration information, wearer information, and monitoring host 100 configuration information. The wireless communication configuration information may include at least one of the following information: device identification code, device SN (serial number) code, randomly generated pairing code, frequency, communication channel, baud rate, MAC address, IP address, service set identifier (SSID), WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) protocol, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protocol, WPA2 protocol, WPA3 protocol, EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) protocol and other protocol-related information and communication port. The wearer information includes at least one of the following information: gender, classification, age, height, weight, bed number, department, and medical history. The monitoring host 100 configuration information may include at least one of the following information: sensor type, analysis algorithm configuration parameters, and working mode configuration parameters. In some embodiments, after the newly replaced monitoring host 100 obtains at least part of the first configuration information and performs corresponding configuration, it can continue the work performed by the monitoring host 100 before replacement, ensuring the continuity of the monitoring process and the consistency of the monitoring results.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the power supply module 112 is configured to be electrically connected to the first memory 123 when the monitoring host 100 is coupled to the accessory portion 200a, for example, by being electrically connected to the first memory 123 via the second electrical connection portion 113 and the first connection portion, thereby providing power to the first memory 123. Accordingly, the first memory 123 can be a non-volatile memory. When the monitoring host 100 is replaced, even if the first memory 123 temporarily loses power, the first configuration information stored therein is not lost.
[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, the mobile monitoring device 12 also includes a sensor and a parameter cable. The sensor is used to connect to the wearer's test site to collect corresponding physiological parameter data. Specifically, the sensor can be one or more of a blood oxygen probe (which includes a light emitting device and a light receiving device), an electrocardiogram electrode, a body temperature sensor, and a blood pressure sensor. Accordingly, the physiological parameter data collected by the sensor includes one or more of blood oxygen parameters, electrocardiogram parameters, body temperature parameters, and blood pressure parameters. The parameter cable is a cable for data transmission, one end of which is connected to the sensor and the other end is connected to the accessory part 200a to transmit the physiological parameter data collected by the sensor to the accessory part 200a, and then to the monitoring host 100. In some embodiments, the parameter cable is non-detachably connected to the sensor, for example, by means of welding, gluing, etc. In some embodiments, the parameter cable is detachably connected to the sensor, for example, by means of a plug connector and a plug slot. In some embodiments, the parameter cable is non-detachably connected to the accessory part 200a, for example, by means of welding, gluing, etc. In some embodiments, the parameter cable is detachably connected to the accessory portion 200a, for example, by a plug connector and a plug slot.
[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the mobile monitoring device 12 also includes a processor. The processor is disposed in the monitoring host 100 or a nearby portion, and the processor is in communication with the sensor and the communication module 111. The processor is used to control the communication module 111 to send the collected physiological parameter data to the target monitoring device, and / or to process at least a portion of the collected physiological parameter data, and control the communication module 111 to send the processing results to the target monitoring device. In some embodiments, the processor can process the electrocardiogram parameter data obtained by the sensor to obtain heart rate values, waveform data, etc., and then control the communication module 111 to send the obtained heart rate values and waveform data to the target monitoring device. In some embodiments, the processor can determine whether arrhythmia occurs based on preset rules and the obtained electrocardiogram parameter data. When it is determined that arrhythmia occurs, an arrhythmia alarm event is generated, and then the communication module 111 is controlled to send the arrhythmia alarm event to the target monitoring device so that medical staff can handle it in a timely manner. For other physiological parameter data except ECG parameters, the processor can process them in a similar manner and control the communication module 111 to send the processing results to the target monitoring device, which will not be described in detail here.
[0070] Optionally, the processor may be implemented as software, hardware, firmware, or any combination thereof, and may use a single or multiple application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), a single or multiple general-purpose integrated circuits, a single or multiple microprocessors, a single or multiple programmable logic devices, or any combination of the foregoing circuits and / or devices, or other suitable circuits or devices.
[0071] In this article, physiological parameter data may include at least one of electrocardiogram parameter values, respiratory parameter values, blood oxygen parameter values, blood pressure parameter values, body temperature parameter values, sleep parameter values, exercise parameter values, pain parameter values, or other parameter data that needs to be monitored.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the power supply module 112 is configured to electrically connect to the sensor when the monitoring host 100 is coupled to the accessory unit 200a, thereby providing power to the sensor. In an embodiment of the present application, when a processor is provided in the monitoring host 100, the power supply module 112 is further configured to electrically connect to the processor, thereby providing power to the processor. When the processor is provided in the monitoring host 100, the power supply module 112 is further configured to electrically connect to the processor, thereby providing power to the processor, when the monitoring host 100 is coupled to the accessory unit 200a.
[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the first memory 123 can be set at any position of the accessory portion 200a. In some embodiments, the first memory 123 can be set in the wearable portion 122. In some embodiments, the first memory 123 can be set in a parameter cable or sensor.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the first configuration includes at least a pairing operation between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device. Specifically, the processor is further configured to perform a pairing operation between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device during the process of establishing a communication connection between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device for the first time. It should be noted that the "first time" herein refers to the first time for a new patient; the mobile monitoring device 12 in "the first time establishing a communication connection between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device" refers to the mobile monitoring device 12 worn by the new patient for the first time, that is, the monitoring host 100 and the accessory portion 200a that are first coupled to the mobile monitoring device 12 and the accessory portion 200a that are first worn by the new patient. In some embodiments, the processor performing the pairing operation between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device requires manual operation by a healthcare professional, such as manually entering a pairing code on the mobile monitoring device 12 or the target monitoring device. After the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target device are successfully paired, the processor establishes a communication connection between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device, obtains first configuration information, and outputs the first configuration information to the first memory 123 for storage. The first configuration information includes at least the wireless communication configuration information required to perform the pairing operation between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device. Therefore, when the monitoring host is subsequently replaced, the newly replaced monitoring host can obtain the wireless communication configuration information from the first memory 123 and automatically establish a communication connection with the target monitoring device based on the wireless communication configuration information, without the need for manual operation by the user.
[0075] In some embodiments, the mobile monitoring device 12 further includes a contactless communication unit, which is provided in the monitoring host 100 or the accessory unit 200a. The contactless communication unit performs contactless communication to read the first configuration information from the target monitoring device in a contactless manner, or sends the first configuration information from the mobile monitoring device 12 to the target monitoring device. In some embodiments, the contactless communication unit includes at least one of a near-field communication (NFC) module, a barcode module, a QR code module, a passive / active RFID (radio frequency identification) module, an optical module, an infrared (IR) module, an ultra-wideband (UWB) module, or a magnetic pairing module. In some embodiments, the first configuration information from the mobile monitoring device 12 and the first configuration information from the target monitoring device can be the unique device codes (e.g., device identification code, device SN code) of the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device, respectively, through which a corresponding relationship list between the two is established to form a pairing. In some embodiments, the first configuration information from the mobile monitoring device 12 and the first configuration information from the target monitoring device can be pairing codes randomly generated by the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device, respectively. The pairing codes can be one or more, as long as a correspondence between the two can be established to form a pair. In some embodiments, the pairing code can be a pairing code from another external third-party device or a manually entered pairing code. As long as a correspondence between the mobile monitoring device 12 and the target monitoring device can be established through the pairing code, a pairing can be formed.
[0076] In some embodiments, the processor of the mobile monitoring device 12 may be connected to the contactless communication unit and the first memory 123 to store the first configuration information from the target monitoring device obtained by the contactless communication unit in the first memory 123. In some embodiments, the processor of the mobile monitoring device 12 is not connected to the contactless communication unit, and the contactless communication unit is configured to send the first configuration information of the mobile monitoring device 12 to the outside, that is, to send the first configuration information from the mobile monitoring device 12 to the target monitoring device. After receiving the first configuration information of the mobile monitoring device 12, the target monitoring device establishes a communication connection with the communication module 111 of the mobile monitoring device 12 and sends the first configuration information of the target monitoring device to the processor of the mobile monitoring device 12 through the communication module 111. The processor then stores the first configuration information from the target monitoring device in the first memory 123.
[0077] In some embodiments, the monitoring host 100 further includes a second memory. The second memory is used to store second configuration information for performing a second configuration on the mobile monitoring device 12. The monitoring host 100 is further configured to retrieve at least a portion of the second configuration information from the second memory and perform the second configuration, wherein the second configuration information is at least not identical to the first configuration information. The second configuration information includes at least one of the following: wireless communication configuration information, wearer information, and monitoring host 100 configuration information. Specifically, part of the configuration information performed by the monitoring host 100 is stored in the second memory of the monitoring host 100, and part of the configuration information is stored in the first memory 123 of the accessory unit 200a. The monitoring host 100 retrieves configuration information from these two memories for configuration. In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes wireless communication configuration information, and the monitoring host 100 communicates with the target monitoring device using the first configuration information. The second configuration information includes analysis algorithm configuration parameters and operating mode configuration parameters, and the monitoring host 100 configures its own analysis algorithm and operating mode using the second configuration information.
[0078] In some embodiments, the monitoring host 100 includes a second memory that is not used to store second configuration information for performing a second configuration on the mobile monitoring device 12, but is instead used to store first configuration information obtained from the first memory 123. That is, the monitoring host 100 obtains at least a portion of the first configuration information from the first memory 123 via the second electrical connection, then stores the obtained first configuration information in the second memory, and then performs configuration according to the first configuration information in the second memory.
[0079] In this embodiment of the present application, the mobile monitoring device 12 also includes a display on the monitoring host 100 for displaying various visual information. The display can be a touch screen display, an LCD display, or the like; alternatively, the display can be a standalone display such as an LCD display or a television, independent of the mobile monitoring device; alternatively, the display can be a display on an electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet computer. The number of displays can be one or more.
[0080] The display can be connected to the processor, and the processor controls the display to display the collected physiological parameter data and / or the processing results (such as heart rate value, waveform data, etc.) obtained by processing at least a portion of the collected physiological parameter data in the form of text or charts for viewing by the wearer of the mobile monitoring device 12. In the embodiment of the present application, the power supply module 112 is configured to power the display.
[0081] The following will describe some exemplary structures of the mobile monitoring device mentioned above with reference to Figures 2 to 12, wherein the wearing part mentioned above can be realized via the base 200 mentioned below, and the base 200 can also cooperate with the wearable component 430.
[0082] Further, please refer to Figures 2 and 3 simultaneously. An embodiment of the present application provides a mobile monitoring device 12, which includes a monitoring host 100, a base 200 and a connector 300. The monitoring host 100 can be detachably connected to the base 200. While realizing the monitoring function, it can also facilitate medical staff to remove the monitoring host 100 when necessary and perform operations such as charging, replacing batteries, cleaning and disinfection. The base 200 can cooperate with the wearable component 430 to be removably fixed to the patient. It should be understood that when the monitoring host 100 is detachably connected to the base 200, the connector 300 is correspondingly clamped between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200, and is electrically connected to the monitoring host 100.
[0083] In some embodiments, to obtain the patient's physiological parameters, the mobile monitoring device 12 may further include a parameter cable 410 and a sensor 420. The parameter cable 410 is electrically connected between the connector 300 and the sensor 420. The sensor 420 can cooperate with the parameter cable 410, the connector 300, and the monitoring host 100 to obtain the patient's physiological parameters. It should be understood that the connection between the parameter cable 410 and the connector 300 can be a non-detachable connection or a detachable connection, without limitation.
[0084] In some embodiments, the wearable component 430 can be connected to the base 200 to allow the user to wear the mobile monitoring device 12. To achieve wearability, the wearable component 430 can be fixedly connected, non-detachably connected, detachably connected, or rotatably connected to the base 200. The non-detachable connection method may include integral molding, adhesive bonding, etc., and is not limited thereto.
[0085] In some embodiments, the wearable component 430 allows the mobile monitoring device 12 to be worn on the patient's arm, wrist, leg, ankle, clothing, or other convenient location for measurement. Accordingly, the wearable component 430 can be a wristband, clip, lanyard, or strap, without limitation. As shown in FIG3 , the wearable component 430 includes a pair of wristbands connected to two sides of the base for easy attachment to the patient's wrist.
[0086] In some embodiments, the wearable component 430 is further provided with a through cable opening (not shown) for passing the parameter cable 410. Based on this, the parameter cable 410 can be fixed to a certain extent to reduce the possibility of accidents such as the parameter cable 410 being pulled or deformed by force.
[0087] Referring to Figures 2, 4, and 5, in some embodiments, the monitoring host 100 includes a housing 110, a display screen 101 mounted on the housing 110, and a first snap-fit portion 120 and conductive contacts 130 provided on the housing 110. The housing 110 may enclose an interior space of the monitoring host 100. The monitoring host 100 also includes a first circuit board 260 disposed within the interior space. The first circuit board 260 may cooperate with sensors 420 and other devices to monitor a patient's physiological parameters. In some embodiments, the display screen 101 is a touch screen display, and the processor of the mobile monitoring device 12 switches the parameter values displayed on the parameter interface on the display screen 101 in response to a user's sliding touch operation on the display screen 101. In some embodiments, the mobile monitoring device 12 includes a mechanical switch button, and the processor of the mobile monitoring device 12 controls the switching of the parameter values displayed on the parameter interface on the display screen 101 in response to pressing the mechanical switch button. In some embodiments, the display screen 101 has a lock screen mode and an unlocked mode. When the display screen 101 is in lock screen mode, a first content interface is displayed; when the display screen 101 is in unlocked mode, a second content interface is displayed. The information displayed in the first content interface is different from the information displayed in the second content interface. In this way, the display screen 101 of the mobile monitoring device 12 displays different content interfaces in unlocked and lock screen modes, thereby meeting the user's diverse information viewing needs. Furthermore, the first circuit board 260 can also facilitate functions such as wireless transmission of physiological parameters.
[0088] To achieve electrical connection between the first circuit board 260 and related components, the conductive contact 130 has opposing first and second ends. The first end of the conductive contact 130 is positioned within the interior of the housing 110 and electrically connected to the first circuit board 260. The second end of the conductive contact 130 extends toward the exterior of the housing 110. It should be understood that the second end of the conductive contact 130 can electrically contact the connector 300 to achieve electrical connection between the monitoring host 100 and the connector 300. The housing 110 has a surface 1101 on which the conductive contact is formed. The conductive contact 130 includes a conductive contact surface 131 exposed relative to the housing 110. In this embodiment, the conductive contact surface 131 of the conductive contact 130 is coplanar with the surface 1101 of the housing 110 on which the conductive contact 130 is formed. This results in a relatively smooth outer wall of the housing 110 of the monitoring host 100, further reducing the potential for dust and liquid accumulation, as well as the breeding of bacteria, and simplifying cleaning and disinfection. In some embodiments, the surface 1101 of the housing 110 on which the conductive contacts 130 are formed is coplanar and higher than the conductive contact surface 131 of the conductive contacts 130, that is, the conductive contacts 130 are recessed inward relative to the housing 110, thereby reducing the electrostatic effect of adjacent conductive contacts and acting as a limiter to prevent the conductive contacts 130 from shifting and causing poor contact. In other alternative embodiments, the surface 1101 of the housing 110 on which the conductive contacts 130 are formed can also be coplanar and lower than the conductive contact surface 131 of the conductive contacts 130, that is, the conductive contacts 130 are protruding outward relative to the housing 110.
[0089] In some embodiments, the monitoring host 100 may also be integrated with a physiological parameter monitoring module and a power supply module 270, etc., to support the normal operation of the mobile monitoring device 12. Optionally, in some embodiments, the monitoring host 100 also includes, but is not limited to, a storage module and an input / output device. Optionally, the input / output device may be, but is not limited to, a wireless transmission module, a USB, etc. The monitoring host 100 may establish a communication connection with the central station 14, the bedside monitor 16, and the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 through the wireless transmission module to achieve wireless transmission of the physiological parameters collected by the sensor 420. Optionally, the physiological parameters collected by the sensor 420 may also be exported from the monitoring host 100 via a USB or a transmission cable. Among them, the power supply module 270 may include a power distribution circuit and the above-mentioned battery, and the power distribution circuit may convert the voltage provided by the battery into the operating voltage required by each functional module.
[0090] Referring to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the base 200 includes a bottom shell 210, a second snap-fitting portion 220, and a connector receiving portion 210b disposed on the bottom shell 210. The second snap-fitting portion 220 of the base 200 corresponds in position to the first snap-fitting portion 120 of the monitoring host 100, thereby enabling a detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200. The connector receiving portion 210b can be used to accommodate the connector 300; that is, when the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are detachably connected, the connector 300 is received in the connector receiving portion 210b.
[0091] Referring to Figures 6 and 7 , in some embodiments, the connector 300 includes a housing 310, a second circuit board 320, and conductive pogo pins 330 disposed within the housing 310. The conductive pogo pins 330 can be disposed on the second circuit board 320 and correspond to the conductive contacts 130. The housing 310 has through-holes 310a corresponding to the conductive pogo pins 330. The conductive pogo pins 330 at least partially pass through the through-holes 310a of the housing 310. The portion of the conductive pogo pins 330 that passes through the through-holes 310a is located outside the housing 310 to facilitate electrical contact with the conductive contacts 130. It should be understood that the number of conductive pogo pins 330 and the number of conductive contacts 130 can be the same or substantially the same. Under the action of an external force, the conductive pogo pins 330 can retract relative to the housing 310; when the external force ceases, the conductive pogo pins 330 can extend relative to the housing 310.
[0092] Based on this, during the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200, the conductive contacts 130 of the monitoring host 100 can contact and apply force to the conductive spring pins 330. In turn, the conductive spring pins 330 contract and can abut against the conductive contacts 130, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the connector 300 and the monitoring host 100. When the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 is released, the conductive spring pins 330 and the conductive contacts 130 are no longer in electrical contact, and the electrical connection between the connector 300 and the monitoring host 100 is simultaneously released. Thus, medical personnel can remove the monitoring host 100 for operations such as charging, battery replacement, or cleaning and disinfection.
[0093] In some embodiments, the external force may include the interaction force between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 during the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200; or the pressure applied to the conductive elastic pin 330 by the technician during the performance test of the conductive elastic pin 330, etc., and there is no limitation on this.
[0094] In some embodiments, one end of the conductive contact 130 can be electrically connected to the first circuit board 260 by welding, conductive glue, etc.; similarly, the conductive spring pin 330 can also be electrically connected to the second circuit board 320 by welding, conductive glue, etc., without limitation.
[0095] In some other embodiments, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG3 , the positions of the conductive spring pins and the conductive contacts can be reversed, that is, the conductive spring pins are provided on the monitoring host 100, and the conductive contacts are provided on the connector 300. It should be understood that this can also achieve electrical connection between the monitoring host 100 and the connector 300, and facilitate operations such as charging, battery replacement, or cleaning and disinfection by medical personnel, which will not be described in detail.
[0096] It should be understood that, unlike conventional mobile monitoring devices, the mobile monitoring device 12 provided in each embodiment of the present application utilizes modules that implement the functions as relatively independent components, depending on the functions being implemented. Specifically, as described above, the mobile monitoring device 12 includes multiple detachable components (100, 200, 300), each of which has a relatively smooth surface to reduce the potential for dust and liquid accumulation and the growth of pathogens. The coordination of these multiple components ensures the normal implementation of the monitoring functions of the mobile monitoring device 12, facilitates the work of medical staff, and reduces distress to patients.
[0097] Referring again to Figures 6 and 7 , in some embodiments, the bottom housing 210 of the base 200 may include a bottom wall 212 and side walls 214. The side walls 214 are positioned around the bottom wall 212 and, together with the bottom wall 212, form a receiving cavity 210a. When the monitoring host 100 is detachably connected to the base 200, the receiving cavity 210a can accommodate at least a portion of the monitoring host 100, while the side walls 214 can protect and assist in securing the monitoring host 100.
[0098] In some embodiments, the connector 300 is fixedly connected to the base 200, and the housing 310 of the connector 300 is part of the bottom shell 210 of the base 200. That is, in this embodiment, the connector 300 can be understood as a part of the base 200. For example, the housing of the connector 300 can be integrally formed with the bottom shell 210 of the base 200, or can be fixed to the bottom shell 210 of the base 200 by adhesive, ultrasonic welding, or the like. The conductive contact 130 can serve as a first electrical contact device, and the conductive spring pin 230 can serve as a second electrical contact device. The first electrical contact device can electrically contact the second electrical contact device, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200. The mobile monitoring device 12 has relatively few relatively independent components, which facilitates the electrical connection between the monitoring host 100, the connector 300, and the sensor 420.
[0099] Please refer to Figure 9. In some other embodiments, the connector 300 is detachably connected to the base 200. For example, the connector 300 and the base 200 can be connected by means of a snap fit, an interference fit, or the like; or, the connector 300 can be clamped between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 by means of the fit between the two. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the connector 300 and the base 200 are relatively independent. Based on this, when necessary, medical staff can repair or replace the relatively independent components (100, 200, 300) in the mobile monitoring device 12. For example, by retaining the host and base 200 of the mobile monitoring device 12 and replacing the connector 300, parameter cable 410 and sensor 420 of the mobile monitoring device 12, the type of physiological parameters monitored by the mobile monitoring device 12 can be changed.
[0100] Referring again to Figures 4, 6, and 7, in some embodiments, since the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are detachably connected, the housing 110 of the monitoring host 100 further includes a first buckle 140, and the bottom shell 210 of the base 200 further includes a second buckle 240 corresponding to the first buckle 140, thereby enhancing the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200. The first buckle 140 can be a male buckle, and the second buckle 240 can be a female buckle; alternatively, the first buckle 140 can be a female buckle, and the second buckle 240 can be a male buckle.
[0101] In some embodiments, the first buckle 140 is located on one side of the housing 110; the first fastening portion 120 is located on the other side of the housing 110 and away from the first buckle 140. Corresponding to the first buckle 140 and the first fastening portion 120, the second buckle 240 is located on one side of the bottom housing 210; the second fastening portion 220 is located on the other side of the bottom housing 210 and away from the second buckle 240. Thus, a detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 can be achieved from multiple angles, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the two (100, 200).
[0102] In some embodiments, the first snap-fitting portion 120 may include a retaining groove formed by the housing 110. The second snap-fitting portion 220 may include a button 222 and an elastic member 224, both of which are located on the bottom housing 210. As shown in Figures 4 and 7, there are two first snap-fitting portions 120 and two second snap-fitting portions 220 to improve the stability of the connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, there may be only one first snap-fitting portion 120 and one second snap-fitting portion 220.
[0103] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the button 222 has a relative pressing end 2221, a supporting end 2223 and a limiting end 2225. The pressing end 2221 is exposed relative to the bottom shell 210 to facilitate pressing by medical staff or patients. Specifically, the pressing end 2221 can extend outside the bottom shell 210; or, it can be retracted into the bottom shell 210. Optionally, the pressing surface of the pressing end 2221 is connected to and flush with the outer surface of the bottom shell 210, which not only avoids the risk of collision and accidental pressing of the button 222 due to irregular outer walls, but also facilitates medical staff to clean the base 200. The supporting end 2223 can support the elastic member 224 to cooperate in achieving relative movement of the button 222. The limiting end 2225 can be detachably connected to the limiting groove, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the base 200 and the monitoring host 100.
[0104] It should be understood that when the relatively independent monitoring host 100 and base 200 need to be removably connected, medical personnel can first insert the first buckle 140 into the second buckle 240 to initially secure the side of the monitoring host 100 corresponding to the first buckle 140. Then, using the second buckle 240 of the base 200 as a rotation axis, the medical personnel can rotate the monitoring host 100 relative to the base 200 until the retaining groove engages with the retaining end 2225. This achieves a removable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200, while simultaneously achieving an electrical connection between the conductive contacts 130 and the conductive spring pins 330.
[0105] Referring to Figures 7 and 8 , when a healthcare professional presses the pressing end 2221 of the button 222, the applied force F causes the button 222 to slide toward the elastic member 224. The abutting end 2223 compresses the elastic member 224, causing it to deform elastically and store elastic potential energy. The limiting end 2225 then releases the limiting slot, releasing the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200.
[0106] When the external force F disappears, the elastically deformed elastic member 224 releases the stored elastic potential energy and causes the button 222 to slide in a direction opposite to the external force, thereby pushing the pressing end 2221 of the button 222 to reset.
[0107] With reference to Figures 6 and 7 , in some embodiments, to facilitate medical personnel removing the monitoring host 100 after the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 is released, the mobile monitoring device 12 may further include an ejection mechanism 230 disposed on the base 200. The ejection mechanism 230 can eject the monitoring host 100 by releasing elastic potential energy or other means after the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 is released. The number of ejection mechanisms 230 may be one, two, or more, without limitation.
[0108] Please refer to Figures 7 and 8 again. In some embodiments, the pop-up mechanism 230 is located on the bottom shell 210. The pop-up mechanism 230 may include a protrusion 232 and an elastic portion 234, and the elastic portion 234 abuts against the protrusion 232 and the bottom shell 210. It should be understood that when the monitoring host 100 is detachably connected to the base 200, the protrusion 232 can move toward the bottom shell 210 due to the force applied by the monitoring host 100, causing the elastic portion 234 to elastically deform. When the detachable connection between the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 is released, the elastic portion 234 tends to return to its natural state, correspondingly causing the protrusion 232 to move away from the bottom shell 210 and separating the monitoring host 100 from the base 200, so that medical personnel can remove the monitoring host 100.
[0109] In some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 230 may further include a button cover 252, which is spaced apart from the bottom wall 212 of the bottom housing 210 and may be fixedly connected to the side wall 214 of the bottom housing 210 or to a stop plate 254 described below by ultrasonic welding or other methods. The button 222, the elastic member 224, and the ejection mechanism 230 may all be disposed between the bottom wall 212 and the button cover 252.
[0110] In some embodiments, the button cover 252 has a first opening 252a through which the stopper end 2225 of the button 222 can pass, thereby facilitating connection with the stopper groove of the monitoring host 100. The button cover 252 also has a second opening 252b through which the raised portion 232 of the pop-up mechanism 230 can pass, thereby facilitating the raised portion 232 to abut against the monitoring host 100. Based on the button cover 252, the second fastening portion 220 and the pop-up mechanism 230 can be integrated together to reduce the overall volume of the base 200 occupied by the two, while also facilitating operations such as cleaning and disinfecting the base 200 by medical personnel.
[0111] With reference to Figures 7 and 8 , in some embodiments, the bottom housing 210 may further include a limiting plate 254 disposed on the bottom wall 212. The limiting plate 254 defines a sliding slot 220a. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 254 may be integrally formed with the bottom wall 212 or removably fixed thereto. The limiting plate 254, the bottom wall 212, and the side walls 214 may collectively surround the sliding slot 220a. In other embodiments, the limiting plate 254 and the bottom wall 212 may collectively surround the sliding slot; alternatively, the limiting plate 254 and the side walls 214 may collectively surround the sliding slot; alternatively, the sliding slot 220a provided on the limiting plate 254 may be separated from the bottom wall 212 and the side walls 214. The button 222 and the elastic member 224 are both disposed within the sliding slot 220a, with the elastic member 224 abutting against the limiting plate 254 and the button 222. It should be understood that the number of the limiting plates 254 may vary depending on the number of the second locking portions 220 and the relative positional relationship between the second locking portions 220 and the pop-up mechanism 230 , and there is no limitation thereto.
[0112] As shown in Figure 8 , there are two second fastening portions 220, and the ejection mechanism 230 is located between the two second fastening portions 220. There are also two limiting plates 254, which are sandwiched between the two second fastening portions 220 and the ejection mechanism 230 to ensure the proper functioning of each. In other embodiments, when the ejection mechanism 230 is located in other positions, the number of limiting plates 254 can be one.
[0113] It should be understood that when the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are detachably connected, the first and second fastening portions 120 and 220 engage, causing the protrusion 232 to contract relative to the mounting portion, thereby causing the elastic portion 234 to elastically deform. When the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are released from the detachable connection, the elastic portion 234 tends to return to its natural state due to the absence of the constraints of the first and second fastening portions 120 and 220. The elastic force acting on the protrusion 232 causes it to eject from the monitoring host 100. In some embodiments, the elastic portion 234 may comprise a compression spring, elastic foam, an airbag, or the like, without limitation.
[0114] It should be understood that when the monitoring host 100 is detachably connected to the base 200, the protrusion 232 contracts toward the interior of the mounting cavity, causing the elastic portion 234 to elastically deform. When the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are released from the detachable connection, the elastic portion 234 is used to extend the protrusion 232 out of the mounting cavity, allowing the monitoring host 100 to separate from the base 200.
[0115] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the conductive spring pin 330 is the same as the movement direction of the ejection mechanism 230, thereby cooperating to eject the monitoring host 100. It should be understood that the extension direction and the movement direction generally refer to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the bottom wall 212.
[0116] Referring to Figure 10 , in some other embodiments, the mobile monitoring device 12 may not include the ejection mechanism 230. Instead, to eject the monitoring host 100, the conductive spring pin 330 may have a certain elastic force. After the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are released from their detachable connection, the conductive spring pin 330 can eject the monitoring host 100 from the base 200, thereby separating the monitoring host 100 and facilitating removal by medical personnel. Furthermore, the conductive spring pin 330 can also improve the reliability of the electrical connection with the conductive contacts 130 of the monitoring host 100.
[0117] In some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 230 may include an elastic energy storage element or an air bag, etc. The elastic energy storage element may include a spring.
[0118] Referring to Figure 13 , in some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 230 is a spring. The ejection mechanism 230 has a fixed end 236 and an elastic end 238 that are opposed to each other. The fixed end 236 is fixed to the bottom housing 210, and the elastic end 238 extends away from the bottom housing 210 and protrudes relative to the bottom housing 210. When the monitoring host 100 is detachably connected to the base 200, the elastic end 238 moves toward the bottom housing 210, causing the spring to elastically deform. When the monitoring host 100 and the base 200 are released from the detachable connection, the elastic end 238 can move away from the bottom housing 210, separating the monitoring host 100 and the base 200.
[0119] In some embodiments, the housing 110 may further include a recess (not shown) corresponding to the raised portion 232. When the monitoring host 100 is detachably connected to the base 200, the recess can accommodate the raised portion 232. Consequently, after the monitoring host 100 is ejected, the engagement of the raised portion 232 and the recess, as well as the engagement of the first and second latches 140 and 240, can define the relative position of the monitoring host 100 and the base 200, thereby reducing the possibility of the monitoring host 100 accidentally falling off.
[0120] In other embodiments, the ejection mechanism includes a raised portion, an elastic portion, and a mounting portion. The mounting portion is mounted on the bottom shell and forms a mounting cavity with the bottom shell. The elastic portion and raised portion are sequentially mounted within the mounting cavity, with the elastic portion abutting against the raised portion and the bottom shell. Based on this, the ejection mechanism can be located anywhere on the bottom wall of the bottom shell, and does not need to be located near the second locking portion.
[0121] In other embodiments, the second fastening portion 220 may include a limiting groove. The first fastening portion 120 may include a button 222 and an elastic member 224, and the like, all of which are located on the housing 110. Based on this, the same technical effects as the above embodiment can be achieved, and no further details are given.
[0122] Referring to Figure 12 , in some embodiments, in addition to the parameter cable 410 and sensor 420 described above, the mobile monitoring device 12 may further include an optical transceiver assembly 440. The optical transceiver assembly 440 is located on a side of the base 200 away from the accommodating cavity 210a. The optical transceiver assembly 440 can be electrically connected to the connector 300 and used to obtain the user's physiological parameters after the user wears the mobile monitoring device 12. It should be understood that in this embodiment, a conductive path can be provided in the base 200 to ensure a relatively stable electrical connection between the connector 300 and the optical transceiver assembly 440.
[0123] In some embodiments, the optical transceiver assembly 440 may include a light emitting device and a light receiving device. The light emitting device can irradiate light of different wavelengths onto the patient's skin. The light is reflected by human tissue and received by the light receiving device, thereby measuring physiological parameters such as blood oxygen, pulse rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.
[0124] 13 , a method for collecting and transmitting physiological parameter data of a wearer according to an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described.
[0125] This method is applied to a mobile monitoring device. The mobile monitoring device includes a monitoring host, an accessory unit, and a sensor. The monitoring host includes a power supply module and a communication module. The communication module may be a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module may include at least one of a Bluetooth module, a WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Services) communication module, a contactless (full-range) communication module, and a Wi-Fi communication module. The power supply module may include a rechargeable battery for powering components of the mobile monitoring device that require electricity. The monitoring host is detachably coupled to and communicates with the accessory unit. The accessory unit includes a wearable portion and a first memory. The wearable portion is removably fixed to a specific body part of the wearer, and the first memory stores first configuration information for a first configuration of the mobile monitoring device. The sensor is communicatively connected to the accessory unit and is used to collect physiological parameter data of the wearer. The sensor may be one or more of a blood oxygen sensor (including a light emitting device and a light receiving device), an electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode pad, a body temperature sensor, and a blood pressure sensor. Accordingly, the physiological parameter data collected by the sensor includes one or more of blood oxygen parameters, ECG parameters, body temperature parameters, and blood pressure parameters. In some embodiments, the sensor may be communicatively connected to the accessory portion via a data cable. For example, the mobile monitoring device may be implemented as the mobile monitoring device described above.
[0126] In some embodiments, the method for collecting and transmitting physiological parameter data of a wearer includes the following steps:
[0127] S100: When the monitoring host is coupled to the accessory part, the monitoring host obtains first configuration information for configuring the mobile monitoring device from a first memory provided on the accessory part.
[0128] In an embodiment of the present application, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following information: wireless communication configuration information, wearer information, and monitoring host configuration information. The wireless communication configuration information may include at least one of the following information: frequency, communication channel, baud rate, device identification number, MAC address, IP address, and communication port, wherein the device identification number may be a randomly generated pairing code or a unique and fixed device code for each device. The wearer information includes at least one of the following information: gender, classification, age, height, weight, department, and medical history. The monitoring host configuration information may include at least one of the following information: sensor type, analysis algorithm configuration parameters, and working mode configuration parameters. In some embodiments, in step S100, after the monitoring host obtains the first configuration information, it performs the first configuration according to the first configuration information. Performing the first configuration may include: the monitoring host establishes a wireless communication connection with the target device through the communication module according to the wireless communication configuration information used to pair with the target pairing device. Performing the first configuration may also include: the monitoring host configures its analysis algorithm and working mode according to the analysis algorithm configuration parameters and working mode configuration parameters. After the monitoring host performs the first configuration according to the first configuration information, it performs the subsequent steps
[0129] S110: collecting physiological parameter data of the wearer through sensors connected to the wearer's test site.

In some embodiments, the processor controls the communication module to perform the pairing operation of the mobile monitoring device and the target monitoring device. In some embodiments, the process of the processor performing the pairing operation of the mobile monitoring device and the target monitoring device requires manual operation by medical personnel, for example, requiring the medical personnel to manually enter a pairing code on the mobile monitoring device or the target monitoring device.

Thus, when the monitoring host 1510 is coupled to the accessory portion 1520, the mobile monitoring device 1500 can be removably fixed to a specific body part of the wearer through the wearing portion. Since the monitoring host 1510 and the accessory portion 1520 are detachably coupled, when the monitoring host 1510 is low on power, medical staff can remove the monitoring host 1510 separately for replacement without removing the wearing portion from the user's body, thereby reducing intrusion to the user.

[0200] Specifically, the first communication module of the slave device can be configured to continuously send a broadcast signal at a certain time interval, and the broadcast signal contains address information, which can be used for the external device to pair with the slave device through it to establish a communication connection. When the master device is in pairing mode, the processor obtains the broadcast signal sent by the first communication module of the slave device received within a preset time (e.g., 500 milliseconds, 1 second, or other suitable time) through the first communication module. In some embodiments, when the master device is triggered to enter pairing mode, the processor obtains the broadcast signal sent by the first communication module of the slave device received within a preset time (e.g., 500 milliseconds, 1 second, or other suitable time) after entering pairing mode through the first communication module. It should be noted that the time interval between the first communication module pixels of the slave device sending the broadcast signal is less than the preset time. In some embodiments, when the master device is not in pairing mode, the master device does not receive the broadcast signal sent by the slave device (or other external device) and cannot establish a communication connection with the slave device; when the master device enters pairing mode, the master device begins to receive the broadcast signal sent by the slave device (or other external device).
[0201] S700: When broadcast signals sent by multiple slave devices are acquired, one of the multiple slave devices is determined as a target pairing device according to the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by each slave device within a preset time.
[0202] Specifically, because the first communication module of the slave device is configured to continuously transmit broadcast signals at regular intervals, the master device may receive broadcast signals from multiple slave devices in pairing mode, of which typically only one is the target device that the master device needs to pair with. The master device determines the target device from the multiple slave devices based on the signal strength of the broadcast signals transmitted by each slave device within a preset time period, that is, based on the signal strength of the broadcast signals received by the master device within a preset time period.
[0203] In some embodiments, step S700 includes:
[0204] S210: Calculate a statistical value of the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by each slave device within a preset time.
[0205] Specifically, the processor in the master device performs statistical calculations on the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by each slave device within a preset time and received through the first communication module to obtain a statistical value, which is used to characterize the quality of the signal strength of each broadcast signal. In some embodiments, the statistical value can be the mean of the signal strength of the broadcast signal within the preset time. In some embodiments, the statistical value can be the median of the signal strength of the broadcast signal within the preset time. In some embodiments, the statistical value can be the peak value of the histogram of the signal strength of the broadcast signal within the preset time.
[0206] S220: Compare the statistical values of the signal strengths of the multiple broadcast signals, and determine the target paired device according to the comparison result.
[0207] Specifically, the processor in the master device compares the statistical values of the signal strengths of multiple broadcast signals, for example, sorting the statistical values from large to small or from small to large, to determine the broadcast signal with the best signal strength (largest statistical value), and then determine that the slave device sending the broadcast signal is the target pairing device.
[0208] In some embodiments, step S220 includes:
[0209] S221: Sort the statistical values in order from large to small or from small to large.
[0210] S222: Obtain the difference between the maximum statistical value among the plurality of statistical values and the statistical values ranked adjacent to the maximum statistical value, that is, obtain the difference between the maximum statistical value and the second largest statistical value.
[0211] S223: Determine whether the current pairing is successful based on the size relationship between the difference and a preset threshold range.
[0212] Specifically, in step S223, when the difference is greater than or equal to a preset threshold range, the current pairing is determined to be successful, and the slave device corresponding to the maximum statistical value is used as the target pairing device. When the difference is less than the preset threshold range, the current pairing is determined to have failed. It should be noted that the successful pairing here refers to the processor successfully determining the target pairing device (the slave device corresponding to the maximum statistical value), rather than successfully establishing a communication connection. In some embodiments, the preset threshold range can refer to a preset single threshold.
[0213] Because the signal strength of the broadcast signal emitted by the slave device is not necessarily stable, the signal strength of the target device may not be optimal. In other words, when the difference between the largest statistical value and the second largest statistical value is very small, it is impossible to accurately determine which slave device corresponds to the statistical value that is the target device. If the slave device corresponding to the largest statistical value is directly used as the target device for pairing, there is a possibility of mispairing. Through the above steps S221-S223, the target device can be accurately determined, effectively reducing the possibility of mispairing.
[0214] In some embodiments, when the difference in step S223 is less than a preset threshold range and it is determined that the current pairing has failed, steps S600, S210, and S221-S223 are repeated. It should be noted that repeating step S600 means that in pairing mode, the master device obtains a broadcast signal sent by the first communication module of the slave device within the next preset time.
[0215] S800: Establishing a communication connection between the main device and the target paired device through the address information in the broadcast signal of the target paired device.
[0216] Specifically, due to the address information included in the broadcast signal sent from the first communication module of the slave device, after the processor determines the target pairing device, it is possible to establish a communication connection with the target pairing device based on the address information in the broadcast signal sent by the target pairing device. For Bluetooth communication module, WiFi communication module or WMTS communication module, when knowing the address information, the specific process of establishing a communication connection is known to those skilled in the art and is not described in detail here. In some embodiments, when a communication connection is established between the main device and the target pairing device, the target pairing device can send information (such as the measurement result of the sensor on the target pairing device) to the main device through the first communication module. In some embodiments, when a communication connection is established between the main device and the target pairing device, the target pairing device can send information (such as the measurement result of the sensor on the target pairing device) to the main device through the first communication module, and the main device can also send information (such as a control signal to the sensor on the target pairing device) to the target pairing device through the first communication module.
[0217] Generally, the closer the distance between the master device and the slave device is, the stronger the signal strength of the broadcast signal emitted by the slave device obtained by the master device. Therefore, compared with the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device in the embodiment of the present application, it is only necessary to ensure that the slave device (target pairing device) to be paired with the master device is in a very close position to the master device when the master device is in pairing mode. The communication connection between the master device and the target pairing device can be automatically established without the master device (or slave device) displaying the list of devices it has searched for, nor does the user need to select the corresponding device in the displayed device list. This effectively reduces the user's operation process, effectively reduces the probability of mispairing, and improves the usability of the product. In some embodiments, even if the master device (or slave device) does not have a display interface or the display interface does not have interactive capabilities, the pairing process can be conveniently implemented through the above pairing method.
[0218] In some embodiments, the master device is configured to detect whether there is communication with the second communication module according to a preset period, wherein the communication distance of the second communication module is less than 100 cm. A second communication module is provided on the slave device that needs to be paired with the master device (that is, the target pairing device), which is used to trigger the master device to enter pairing mode. When the master device detects the communication of the second communication module, it means that the master device and the target pairing device are already at a very close distance. At this time, the master device can accurately establish a wireless communication connection with the target pairing device through the above steps S600-S800. In other words, the user only needs to make the master device and the target pairing device very close (less than 100 cm), and the master device can automatically establish a communication connection with the target pairing device, which is very simple and convenient to operate.
[0219] Accordingly, before step S600, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:
[0220] S10: Upon sensing communication with a slave device having a second communication module, the master device enters pairing mode. The slave device having the second communication module is the target pairing device. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 are performed.
[0221] In some embodiments, the second communication module can be an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag, which is affixed to the target pairing device. Correspondingly, an NFC module is also provided on the master device, which is used to detect whether there is communication with the NFC tag according to a preset period. In some embodiments, the NFC module on the master device can be configured to operate in active mode, which sends out a radio frequency signal according to a preset period and detects whether a response from the NFC tag is received. The NFC tag affixed to the target pairing device can be configured to operate in passive mode, which only sends out a corresponding response when it receives a radio frequency signal sent by the NFC module on the master device. When the master device receives the response, its NFC module enters pairing mode. In some embodiments, the NFC tag can also be built into the target pairing device.
[0222] In some embodiments, the master device is provided with a physical button that, when pressed, triggers the master device to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device and the target device very close together and press the physical button on the master device, and the master device will automatically establish a communication connection with the target device. This makes the operation very simple and convenient.
[0223] Accordingly, before step S600, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:
[0224] S20: In response to the operation on the physical button, trigger the master device to enter the pairing mode.
[0225] Specifically, in some embodiments, the physical button is used to control the on / off state of a detection circuit (e.g., the physical button is off when not pressed and on when pressed). The processor determines whether an operation has been performed on the physical button (whether the physical button has been pressed) based on the on / off state of the detection circuit. When the processor determines that an operation has been performed on the physical button (whether the physical button has been pressed), the processor controls the master device to enter pairing mode in response to the operation on the physical button. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 are performed.
[0226] In some embodiments, the master device has an operation interface, which may be a touchscreen display interface. The operation interface includes a pairing mode option. The user can control the master device to enter pairing mode by selecting this option. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to place the master device and the target device in close proximity and select the pairing mode option on the master device's operation interface. The master device will then automatically establish a communication connection with the target device, making operation very simple and convenient.
[0227] Accordingly, before step S600, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:
[0228] S30: In response to a selection operation on a pairing mode option, trigger the master device to enter the pairing mode.
[0229] Specifically, in some embodiments, the touch screen of the master device displays an operation interface, and the touch screen is also used to detect user operations on the touch screen. When the processor on the master device determines, based on the detection results of the touch screen, that the pairing mode option in the display interface is selected, the processor controls the master device to enter pairing mode in response to the selection operation of the pairing mode option. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 described above are performed.
[0230] In some embodiments, the master device further includes a microphone for receiving a voice control signal. The processor of the master device is configured to determine whether the voice control signal is a preset voice control signal. When the voice control signal is a preset voice control signal, the master device is controlled to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to bring the master device and the target paired device very close together and speak a specific voice (preset voice control signal) for the master device to automatically establish a communication connection with the target paired device, making the operation very simple and convenient.
[0231] Accordingly, before step S600, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:
[0232] S40: When a voice control signal for controlling entry into the pairing mode is acquired, the master device enters the pairing mode.
[0233] Specifically, in some embodiments, the processor of the master device determines whether the voice control signal received through the microphone is a preset voice control signal for controlling the master device to enter pairing mode. If the judgment is yes, the processor controls the master device to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, the above steps S600-S800 are performed.
[0234] In some embodiments, when the master device is not in pairing mode, the master device's processor receives broadcast signals sent by the slave device via the first communication module, obtains the signal strength of each broadcast signal, and determines whether the signal strength of at least one broadcast signal exceeds a preset threshold signal strength. If the determination is yes, the master device is controlled to enter pairing mode. After the master device enters pairing mode, steps S600-S800 are performed. In other words, the user only needs to place the master device and the target paired device very close together for the master device to automatically establish a communication connection with the target paired device, making operation very simple and convenient.
[0235] Accordingly, before step S600, the method for wireless pairing of the mobile monitoring device further includes the following steps:
[0236] S50: When it is detected that the signal strength of the acquired broadcast signal sent by the slave device is greater than a threshold signal strength, trigger the master device to enter a pairing mode.
[0237] According to the method for wireless pairing of a mobile monitoring device of the present invention, the master device can determine the target pairing device based on the signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by the slave device within a preset time, and establish a communication connection with the target pairing device through the address information in the broadcast signal of the target pairing device. During the pairing process, user operations can be effectively reduced, the pairing process is simplified, and the probability of incorrect pairing is reduced.
[0238] Furthermore, the present application also provides a monitoring system, which will be described below with reference to Figures 18 to 21.
[0239] As shown in FIG. 18 , the monitoring system 1700 may include a mobile monitoring device 1710 and a target monitoring device 1720 .
[0240] The mobile monitoring device 1710 may be the mobile monitoring device 100 or the mobile monitoring device 1500 in the above-mentioned embodiment.
[0241] The mobile monitoring device 1710 is used to be removably fixed to the wearer and obtain the wearer's physiological parameter data. Specifically, the mobile monitoring device 1710 has a sensor, which is used to connect to the wearer's test site to collect corresponding physiological parameter data. In some embodiments, the sensor can be one or more of a blood oxygen probe (which includes a light emitting device and a light receiving device), an electrocardiogram electrode, a body temperature sensor, and a blood pressure sensor. Accordingly, the physiological parameter data collected by the sensor includes one or more of blood oxygen parameters, electrocardiogram parameters, body temperature parameters, and blood pressure parameters. In some embodiments, the physiological parameter data collected by the sensor can be one or more of respiratory parameters, sleep parameters, motion parameters, and pain parameters.
[0242] The mobile monitoring device 1710 is further configured to transmit real-time and historical data of physiological parameter data acquired by the mobile monitoring device 1710 (i.e., the sensor) to the target monitoring device 1720 when the mobile monitoring device 1710 is in communication with the target monitoring device 1720. In some embodiments, the mobile monitoring device 1710 is further configured to process at least a portion of the acquired physiological parameter data and transmit the processed results to the target monitoring device 1720.
[0243] The target monitoring device 1720 can be one or more of a bedside monitor, a central station, a department-level workstation device, and a hospital-level data center / hospital-level emergency center management device. The target monitoring device 1720 and the mobile monitoring device 1710 are communicatively connected. The target monitoring device 1720 and the mobile monitoring device 1710 can achieve communication connection through at least one of a Bluetooth module, a WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Services) communication module, a contactless communication module, and a WIFI communication module. The specific method for establishing a communication connection between the target monitoring device 1720 and the mobile monitoring device 1710 can refer to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here. The target monitoring device 1720 has a display screen, which is used to obtain the physiological parameter data obtained by the mobile monitoring device 1710 and display the physiological parameter data through the display screen, so as to facilitate the target monitoring device 1720, such as a central station or a bedside monitor, to analyze the patient's physical condition based on these physiological parameters and provide the analysis results to medical staff for them to take corresponding measures. Alternatively, the mobile monitoring device 12 completes the analysis of part or all of the physiological parameters locally and sends the analysis results to the central station or bedside monitor for medical staff to take corresponding measures.
[0244] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG19 , the monitoring system can also be implemented as a monitoring system 10, which includes a mobile monitoring device 12. Each mobile monitoring device 12 can be removably fixed on the patient to obtain physiological parameters of the corresponding type. Among them, the mobile monitoring device 12 may include multiple detachable components, such as a wearable component, a data processing component, etc., and the battery may be set in the data processing component. Based on this, when the mobile monitoring device 12 needs to be charged or the battery needs to be replaced, the data processing component (such as the monitoring host) can be removed and related operations can be performed. The wearable component can still be worn on the patient to reduce the distress to the patient and reduce the difficulty of the work of medical staff.
[0245] The mobile monitoring device 12 is used to obtain physiological parameters corresponding to the sensor type from the user. The target monitoring device includes at least one of a bedside monitor 16 and a central station 14. The bedside monitor 16 is wirelessly connected to the mobile monitoring device 12. The bedside monitor 16 is configured to receive the physiological parameters transmitted by the mobile monitoring device 12. The central station 14 is wirelessly connected to the bedside monitor 16 and the mobile monitoring device 12. The central station 14 is configured to communicate with the bedside monitor 16 to transmit physiological parameters; alternatively, the central station 14 is configured to receive physiological parameters transmitted by the mobile monitoring device 12.
[0246] It can be understood that the monitoring system 10 of the present application is applicable to single-patient usage scenarios and multi-patient usage scenarios. Specifically, please refer to Figures 19 and 20. Figure 20 shows a schematic diagram of the single-patient usage scenario involved in the monitoring system 10. The monitoring system 10 includes a mobile monitoring device 12, a third-party mobile monitoring device 13, a central station 14 and a bedside monitor 16. Among them, the structure of the mobile monitoring device 12 is different from the structure of the third-party mobile monitoring device 13. The mobile monitoring device 12 and the third-party mobile monitoring device 13. The third-party mobile monitoring device 13 is a mobile monitoring device existing in the medical industry. The mobile monitoring device 12 and the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 can establish a wireless communication connection or a wired communication connection. The mobile monitoring device 12 and the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 can share a host device for monitoring; or, different host devices can be used for monitoring respectively.
[0247] Any one of the mobile monitoring device 12 and the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 serves as the master device, and the other serves as the slave device. The master device is wirelessly connected to at least one of the bedside monitor 16 and the central station 14. The master device can serve as a HUB (multi-port repeater) in the human body local area network and can transmit data such as physiological parameters to the outside. It should be understood that both the mobile monitoring device 12 and the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 can obtain corresponding physiological parameters from the patient and transmit these physiological parameters to the master device in a timely manner. Based on these physiological parameters, the master device can transmit them to the central station or the bedside monitor so that the central station or the bedside monitor can analyze the patient's physical condition based on these physiological parameters and provide the analysis results to the medical staff for them to take corresponding measures; alternatively, the master device completes the analysis of part or all of the physiological parameters locally and sends the analysis results to the central station or the bedside monitor for the medical staff to take corresponding measures.
[0248] For example, in a single-patient scenario, a user can simultaneously wear a mobile monitoring device 12 and a third-party mobile monitoring device 13. When the mobile monitoring device 12 serves as the master device, it is configured to receive physiological parameters acquired by the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 and transmit these acquired physiological parameters to at least one of the bedside monitor 16 and the central station 14. When the third-party mobile monitoring device 13 serves as the master device, it is configured to receive physiological parameters acquired by the mobile monitoring device 12 and transmit these acquired physiological parameters to at least one of the bedside monitor 16 and the central station 14. It will be appreciated that when the monitoring system 10 is used in a single-patient scenario, the monitoring system 10 may include multiple mobile monitoring devices 12 and multiple third-party mobile monitoring devices 13. Optionally, the multiple mobile monitoring devices 12 may be wirelessly connected to each other. Multiple third-party mobile monitoring devices 13 may be wirelessly connected to one or more of the mobile monitoring devices 12.
[0249] Please refer to FIG. 21 , which illustrates a multi-patient usage scenario involving the monitoring system 10. The monitoring system 10 includes multiple mobile monitoring devices 12, at least one central station 14, and at least one bedside monitor 16. The multiple mobile monitoring devices 12 can establish communication connections with the at least one central station 14 and the at least one bedside monitor 16. For example, in a multi-patient usage scenario, a user wears a mobile monitoring device 12, and the physiological parameters collected by each mobile monitoring device 12 can be transmitted to the corresponding bedside monitor 16 and the corresponding central station 14 for medical staff to take appropriate measures.
[0250] Furthermore, in the monitoring system 10, multiple mobile monitoring devices 12 can independently transmit physiological parameter data to a central station or bedside monitor, without requiring a master device to transmit the data together. It should be understood that the two aforementioned transmission methods for physiological parameters can be flexibly switched and implemented without limitation.
[0251] In some embodiments, the types of physiological parameters monitored by the mobile monitoring device 12 may include blood oxygen, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature, etc., without limitation.
[0252] As shown in Figure 19, there are two mobile monitoring devices 12, which are wirelessly connected. The right mobile monitoring device 12 is a blood oxygen monitoring device, and the left mobile monitoring device 12 is an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring device. It should be understood that the blood oxygen monitoring device can be worn on the patient's wrist to monitor blood oxygen parameters. The ECG monitoring device can be attached to the patient's clothing using a clip or other means, or can be directly applied to the patient's skin to monitor ECG parameters.
[0253] In some embodiments, the blood oxygen monitoring device serves as the master device, and the blood oxygen monitoring device can transmit the acquired blood oxygen parameters and the electrocardiogram parameters acquired by the electrocardiogram monitoring device to the central station 14 or the bedside monitor 16. In other embodiments, the blood oxygen monitoring device can transmit the acquired blood oxygen parameters to the central station 14 or the bedside monitor 16. The electrocardiogram monitoring device can transmit the acquired electrocardiogram parameters to the central station 14 or the bedside monitor 16.
[0254] It should be understood that the bedside monitor 16 and the central station 14 can be connected by wireless communication to achieve data transmission and the sending and receiving of control instructions, so as to facilitate remote medical monitoring.
[0255] In some embodiments, the wireless communication connection method includes WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Services), WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., without limitation.
[0256] Since the monitoring system of the present application has the aforementioned mobile monitoring device, it also has the advantages of the aforementioned mobile monitoring device.
