Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to an intelligent scalp laser therapeutic device for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Background Art

[0002] Neurodevelopmental disorders are a broad category that covers a variety of complex neurological conditions, including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability, language development disorder, and specific learning disabilities. These diseases not only profoundly affect children's physical and mental health, but there is no universally recognized specific treatment or drug. The increasing prevalence of autism, especially autism, has become an increasingly severe challenge in the field of global public health. According to the latest data, the prevalence of autistic children in the United States has increased by 241% in the past 14 years, that is, one in every 36 children is diagnosed with autism; in China, according to the data of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, this ratio is as high as one in every 59 children with autism, and there are about 10 million autistic children in my country! This shows the urgency and widespread nature of this problem.

[0003] Faced with this grim situation, global health organizations and scientific research institutions are actively seeking solutions. In September 2023, a report jointly released by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund pointed out that the total number of children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, has reached 317 million worldwide. The problems of this group have gradually entered the mainstream vision from the margins of pediatrics, and urgently need the attention and support of all sectors of society.

[0004] In this context, since 1992, the team to which the applicant belongs has been committed to exploring the application of scalp acupuncture therapy in children with autism and has made a series of breakthroughs. Scalp acupuncture therapy effectively promotes significant improvements in sleep, behavior control and language communication ability in children with autism by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the head. Its research results have been published in a number of academic papers and won the China Rehabilitation Medicine Science and Technology Award, reflecting the great potential of this therapy in the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders.

[0005] However, despite the positive therapeutic effects of scalp acupuncture, the pain and discomfort during the treatment process have become a major obstacle to its widespread use. Many children show nervous emotions due to fear of pain, and many parents find it difficult to accept this treatment method.

[0006] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, laser therapy, as an emerging treatment method, has gradually emerged in the treatment of neurological diseases. The advantages of laser therapy are its non-invasiveness and low side effects, which means that patients can reduce additional damage to the body during treatment, while reducing the risk of infection and other complications. However, although laser therapy has shown certain prospects in the treatment of cerebral palsy, current laser therapy equipment still has some limitations in design, especially when targeting the specific group of children. Due to the significant individual differences in the head shape of children, such as differences in head size, shape, and skull structure, laser therapy equipment must be able to accurately adapt to the head shape of each child during treatment. However, most of the existing laser therapy equipment lacks automatic adjustment functions and cannot be personalized according to the head shape of the child, which affects the accuracy and comfort of the treatment.

[0007] Specifically, if the laser treatment device cannot automatically adjust according to the child's head shape, the following problems may occur during treatment: Inaccurate treatment location: Due to differences in head morphology, the device may not be able to accurately focus the laser beam on the area that needs treatment, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

[0008] Inconsistent treatment depth: Different head shapes may cause the laser to penetrate the scalp and tissue at different depths, thus affecting the treatment effect and safety.

[0009] Reduced comfort: If the device does not fit the child's head well, the child may feel discomfort or pain during long-term treatment, which will affect the continuity of treatment and the child's compliance. Summary of the invention

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an intelligent scalp laser therapeutic device for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, aiming to improve the treatment effect and enhance the comfort and cooperation of children through non-invasive laser treatment means combined with personalized adjustment and auxiliary treatment functions.

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an intelligent scalp laser treatment device for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, comprising: - Helmet: for children to wear; - Several laser probes: located inside the helmet and used to emit acupuncture rays; - Several laser drive modules: installed inside the helmet, each laser drive module matches each laser probe one by one and each laser drive module is used to independently adjust the irradiation position of the laser probe; -Head circumference detection module: located inside the helmet and used to sense the wearer's head circumference information; Wherein, the laser driving module switches the laser probe to a suitable irradiation position according to the head circumference information obtained by the head circumference monitoring module.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the laser driving modules includes a space adjustment unit for adjusting the spatial position of the laser probe and an angle adjustment unit for adjusting the irradiation angle of the laser probe.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes: bone conduction headphones for playing music.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes: a tablet computer for playing videos or interactive games.

[0015] The present invention adopts the above-mentioned solution, and its beneficial effects are: Personalized treatment: Through head circumference detection and automatic adjustment technology, we ensure that every child can get an accurate treatment experience and improve the treatment effect.

[0016] Enhanced comfort: The humanized design of the helmet combined with bone conduction music can effectively relieve discomfort during treatment.

[0017] Improve cooperation: The entertainment content provided by the tablet makes the treatment process easier and more enjoyable, helping children to better cooperate with the treatment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the composition of a laser scalp therapy device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.

[0020] See attached Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, an intelligent scalp laser therapeutic device for children with neurodevelopmental disorders specifically includes a helmet, a laser probe, a laser driving module and a head circumference detection module, wherein the helmet is a core component, which is a helmet specially designed for children with the disease, and the material is light and breathable to ensure comfort for long-term wearing. The helmet is padded inside to adapt to the head shape of different children and reduce pressure points.

[0021] In this embodiment, several laser probes are evenly distributed inside the helmet to ensure that the treatment can cover the entire scalp area. Each laser probe can emit acupuncture rays of a specific wavelength, which simulate the mechanism of action of traditional acupuncture therapy, and stimulate the acupuncture points on the scalp to achieve the purpose of regulating brain function and improving the symptoms of children. The wavelength selection of the laser probe is crucial, because different wavelengths correspond to different biological effects. In the treatment of children, wavelengths that can penetrate the scalp and be absorbed by the cerebral cortex are usually selected to ensure the treatment effect. The wavelength is preferably 40-50nm.

[0022] In this embodiment, a plurality of laser drive modules are arranged inside the helmet, and each laser drive module is independently matched with each laser probe. Each laser drive module is used to independently adjust the irradiation position of the laser probe, ensuring that the laser probe can accurately and safely irradiate the predetermined scalp area.

[0023] In this embodiment, the head circumference detection module is arranged inside the helmet and is used to sense the head circumference information of the wearer. Specifically, the head circumference detection module generally includes a plurality of sensors, which can be distributed at different positions of the helmet to obtain more comprehensive head circumference information, such as head circumference size, head shape and other data. These head circumference information are crucial to the laser driving module because they provide the necessary parameters for the spatial adjustment and angle adjustment of the laser probe. The sensor can be non-contact (such as an infrared sensor), and when the child puts on the helmet, the head circumference detection module will immediately start working and collect data. These data will then be transmitted to the spatial adjustment unit and the angle adjustment unit in the laser driving module so that they can be adjusted accordingly according to the head circumference information of the wearer. In this way, it can be ensured that the laser therapy device can always provide accurate and safe treatment for the wearer.

[0024] In this embodiment, each of the laser driving modules includes a space adjustment unit for adjusting the spatial position of the laser probe and an angle adjustment unit for adjusting the irradiation angle of the laser probe, wherein the space adjustment unit is responsible for automatically adjusting the three-dimensional position of the laser probe according to the data provided by the head circumference detection module, so as to ensure that the treatment point of each laser probe can be accurately aligned with the predetermined scalp area, regardless of how the size or shape of the child's head changes. Specifically, when the head circumference detection module senses the change in the wearer's head circumference, it will pass this information to the space adjustment unit. The space adjustment unit will then calculate the distance and direction that each laser probe needs to move based on this information, and drive them to make corresponding adjustments. In addition, the angle adjustment unit further refines the positioning of the treatment point. By fine-tuning the irradiation angle of the laser probe, it can achieve more accurate control of the depth and range of treatment. When the irradiation angle of the laser probe needs to be adjusted, the angle adjustment unit will calculate the required angle change according to the preset parameters or treatment plan, and drive the corresponding mechanism to adjust it. In this way, it can be ensured that the laser beam can accurately irradiate the predetermined scalp area and achieve the expected treatment effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned laser driving module drives the laser probe to move three-dimensionally through a built-in mechanical structure (such as a motor, etc.) according to the calculation results, wherein the design of the mechanical structure ensures that the laser probe can be moved smoothly and accurately to the target position. Technical personnel in this field can adopt a suitable mechanical structure as needed, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0026] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment unit drives the laser probe to adjust the angle through a built-in angle adjustment mechanism (such as a rotary motor, a tilting device, etc.). Those skilled in the art can use a suitable angle adjustment mechanism as needed to ensure that the laser probe can be adjusted to the desired angle smoothly and accurately.

[0027] In summary, in actual applications, the spatial adjustment function and the angle adjustment function usually work together. When the size or shape of the child's head changes, the spatial adjustment function will first adjust the position of the laser probe to bring it closer to the predetermined scalp area. Then, the angle adjustment function will further fine-tune the irradiation angle of the laser probe to ensure that the laser beam can accurately irradiate the predetermined scalp acupuncture points. This synergy ensures that the laser therapy device can provide accurate and safe treatment for children.

[0028] In this embodiment, bone conduction headphones and tablet computers are also included, wherein the bone conduction headphones can be integrated into the helmet to play soothing music through bone conduction technology to help children relax and reduce tension during the treatment process. The tablet computer is connected to the helmet and is equipped with video content or interactive games designed specifically for children, aiming to distract the children and increase the fun and participation of the treatment process.

[0029] In summary, for children, the laser therapy device emits acupuncture rays through the laser probe on the helmet, simulating the mechanism of action of traditional acupuncture therapy. These rays can penetrate the scalp, act on the cerebral cortex, stimulate the regeneration and repair of nerve cells, and thus improve the motor function and coordination ability of children.

[0030] At the same time, laser therapy can also be combined with other auxiliary treatment methods, such as music played by bone conduction headphones and videos or interactive games provided by tablet computers, to improve the comfort and cooperation of children. These auxiliary treatment methods help distract children's attention and reduce tension during treatment, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0031] The embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any technician familiar with the art who, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, makes more possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention using the technical content disclosed above, or modifications are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent and equivalent changes made according to the ideas of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
