Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in the present application.

[0021] Clinical studies have found that when patients are in an uncomfortable state, they will have an increased blinking frequency and repetitive movements. When patients are nervous, anxious or stressed, their autonomic nervous system may be disturbed, and the body will naturally produce a series of reactions to cope with this emotional state, resulting in an increased blinking frequency. Especially for certain neurological diseases, such as facial nerve paralysis, an increase in blinking frequency also indicates a recurrence or aggravation of the disease, so it is necessary to detect the patient's blinking frequency. When the patient's body is in an uncomfortable state, they will autonomously perform some repetitive movements to relieve the current physical discomfort. For some neurological diseases, such as tics, patients will also have some involuntary repetitive movements. Therefore, through the detection of repetitive movements, it is possible to quickly know whether the patient is in physical discomfort, or to monitor certain neurological diseases.

[0022] Based on the above content, the present application detects the patient's current state in a contactless manner by identifying the patient's blinking frequency and determining whether the patient has repetitive movements. This can effectively understand the patient's state, thereby avoiding the patient being in an uncomfortable real-time monitoring state, and at the same time reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0023] On the one hand, this embodiment provides a patient intelligent monitoring method, see Figure 1 , including the following steps: S10. Acquire continuous images of the patient.

[0024] In step S10, continuous images of the patient can be obtained through a monitoring camera, and the interval time between adjacent images in the continuous images can be adjusted according to actual conditions, such as by the patient's monitoring level. When the patient's monitoring level is higher, the interval time between adjacent images is shorter. Exemplarily, a monitoring video can be obtained through a camera, and then frame-by-frame images can be obtained based on the monitoring video as continuous images.

[0025] S20, based on the continuous images, identifying the patient's blinking frequency ƒ. Based on the continuous images in step S10, identifying the patient's blinking frequency.

[0026] S30: Based on the continuous images, determine whether the patient has repeated movements. Based on the continuous images in step S10, determine whether the patient has repeated movements.

[0027] S40: Based on the blinking frequency and repetitive motions, determine whether the patient has a first abnormal condition.

[0028] In step S40, the first abnormal situation can be used as a preset signal, that is, when the signal of the first abnormal situation is obtained, the patient can be further monitored in more detail to determine whether the patient has an abnormality. The first abnormal situation can also be used as an early warning to issue an early warning to medical staff so that the medical staff can check it in time.

[0029] In step S40, judging whether the patient has a first abnormal condition based on the blinking frequency and the repetitive motion includes the following steps: in, is the state value, when =1, it is determined that the first abnormal situation exists. =0, it is determined that there is no first abnormal situation; is the first preset value, is the second preset value, , is the first weight, is the second weight, ; in, is the reference parameter, is the preset value, and ; is the first proportional value, which is a preset value; is the second ratio value, is the preset value, and ; is the patient's blink frequency, is the first preset range boundary value, is the second preset range boundary value.

[0030] Through the configuration of the above embodiment, it is possible to obtain the patient's blinking frequency and the judgment result of whether the patient has repeated movements by acquiring continuous images of the patient, and to judge whether the patient has a first abnormal state according to whether the patient has repeated movements and the patient's blinking frequency, and then to give instructions for the next step, which may be to increase the patient's monitoring level or to issue an early warning so that medical staff can increase the frequency of checking. The patient intelligent monitoring method provided by the above embodiment does not require contact with the patient, can avoid the monitored patient from being in an uncomfortable state, can also realize real-time monitoring, and can obtain a preliminary judgment, thereby reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0031] In some of these examples, see Figure 2 In step S20, based on the continuous images, identifying the patient's blinking frequency includes: S201, obtaining the interval time between adjacent images in the continuous images. The interval time between adjacent images can be directly obtained according to a preset rule. The preset rule can be to directly obtain adjacent images according to the acquisition time interval of adjacent images in the continuous images.

[0032] S202: Acquire two adjacent closed-eye images in the continuous images and images ;image In the image Before. refers to the image numbered x, refers to the image numbered y.

[0033] S203: Determine whether yx is less than or equal to a first preset parameter In step S203, the acquired images are numbered, for example, the first acquired image is numbered 1, the second image is numbered 2, and so on, wherein the two closed-eye images acquired are x and y, respectively, and because image y is after image x, the number of image y is greater than the number of image x, and yx is a positive value at this time.

[0034] S204, if it is determined that yx < , based on the interval time between adjacent images in the continuous images, the patient's blinking frequency is obtained. In step S204, the first preset parameter is also a preset integer, by judging whether yx is less than the first preset parameter , so that the patient's blinking frequency is higher than the preset value, the patient's blinking frequency will be obtained at this time. If it is determined that yx≥ , no action will be taken.

[0035] In the above embodiment, in the process of obtaining the patient's blinking frequency, when the patient's blinking frequency exceeds the preset value, the blinking frequency is obtained to avoid obtaining too many parameters and affecting the system operation. In addition, the obtained blinking frequency can be made more targeted to determine whether further monitoring of the patient is needed.

[0036] In some embodiments, in step S30, judging whether the patient has repeated actions based on the continuous images includes: S301: Get the image After that, with the image As a benchmark, judge the image Does the x images after the image match the image? The same action in refers to the image numbered n; S302: If the image is determined There are images with the same The same action in the image , Refers to the image numbered m, and compares the images in sequence Actions and images in Whether the actions in are the same, where b is the reference value, b≤z, and n+b<m, then it is determined that the patient has repeated actions.

[0037] S303: If the image is determined There is no image in the subsequent z images that matches the image The same action image is further as the benchmark, and repeat steps S301-303.

[0038] In the above embodiment, for the convenience of description, the image For image number 5, image Taking the image No. 10 as an example, when the image No. 10 has the same action as the image No. 5, the images No. 6 and No. 11, No. 7 and No. 12, No. 8 and No. 13, and No. 9 and No. 14 can be compared in sequence. If the actions in the compared image groups are the same, it is determined that the patient has repeated actions. Through this setting, it is possible to accurately determine whether the patient has repeated actions, so as to further determine whether the patient has the first abnormal condition.

[0039] In some embodiments, after determining that the patient has a first abnormal condition, the method further includes the following steps: S50, obtaining the patient's voice decibel; S60, determining whether the patient's voice decibel exceeds a third preset value; S70, if it is determined that the patient's voice decibel exceeds a third preset value, an early warning is issued; S80. If it is determined that the patient's voice decibel does not exceed the third preset value, reset to repeat steps S10-S40.

[0040] In the above embodiment, after obtaining the first abnormal condition of the patient, the patient is further monitored and judged, and whether the patient needs further monitoring can be further judged by the patient's current voice decibel value. If the patient's voice decibel does not exceed the third preset value, the steps S10-S40 are repeated, and the patient's repeated movements and the patient's blinking frequency are obtained again based on the patient's continuous images, until the patient is obtained to have the first abnormal condition, and the patient's voice decibel exceeds the third preset value, then subsequent actions are taken, such as medical staff rushing to the scene for inspection, or increasing the monitoring level.

[0041] In some embodiments, after determining that the patient has a first abnormal condition, the method further includes the following steps: S50-1. Adjust environmental parameters and reset to repeat steps S10-S40.

[0042] In the above embodiment, after the environmental parameters are adjusted, the patient's status can be further determined based on the patient's subsequent status to determine whether subsequent actions are required.

[0043] In some embodiments, the environmental parameters include one or more of temperature, oxygen content and noise. In the above embodiments, after the patient has the first abnormal condition, the temperature and oxygen content of the patient's environment can be selectively changed, or a method of making noise can be selected, and then steps S10-S40 are repeated. In different embodiments, two of them can be changed, or all parameters can be changed.

[0044] In some embodiments, adjusting the temperature comprises the following steps: K10. Determine whether there is a temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature; K20. If there is a temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature, adjust the indoor temperature to be close to the outdoor temperature; Regulating oxygen levels involves the following steps: T10, inputting carbon dioxide into the room so that the indoor oxygen content decreases by a preset difference; Adjusting the noise involves the following steps: P10. Increase the indoor noise level by the preset difference.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the indoor temperature of the patient is usually a more suitable temperature. When the indoor temperature is higher than the outdoor temperature, it is easier to adjust the indoor temperature to the outdoor temperature. Moreover, for the patient, because the patient is more sensitive to the temperature that meets the season in different seasons, if the patient can still respond autonomously when feeling the temperature change, it means that the patient is not in discomfort, or the discomfort is relatively mild. Then, the steps S10-S40 are further repeated to further observe the patient to reduce false alarms. The temperature adjustment in this way can make the monitoring of the patient better. By increasing the indoor carbon dioxide content to reduce the oxygen content, the patient's mobility can be reduced. Then, the steps S10-S40 are further repeated to further observe the patient to reduce false alarms. The principle of increasing the indoor noise decibel is similar, which is used to detect the patient's current autonomy to further determine the patient's current state. Then, the steps S10-S40 are further repeated to further observe the patient to reduce false alarms.

[0046] In some embodiments, when the environmental parameter includes oxygen content, in the step of repeating steps S10-S40, judging whether the patient has a first abnormal condition based on the blinking frequency and the repetitive motion includes the following steps: in, is the gradient number of oxygen reduction, and ; When the environmental parameter includes noise, in the step of repeating steps S10-S40, judging whether the patient has a first abnormal condition based on the blinking frequency and the repetitive motion includes the following steps: in, is the number of gradients increased by the noise, and .

[0047] In the above embodiment, when the adjusted environmental parameter is oxygen content, that is, after reducing the indoor oxygen content, when steps S10-S40 are repeated again, step S40 is adjusted at this time, and the process is performed according to the adjusted method, so that the final monitoring effect can be more accurate. Similarly, when the adjusted environmental parameter is noise, that is, the indoor noise decibel is increased according to the preset difference, step S40 is adjusted accordingly at this time, and the process is performed according to the adjusted method, so that the final monitoring effect can be more accurate.

[0048] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a patient intelligent monitoring system, including a memory and a processor, the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement any of the patient intelligent monitoring methods in the above embodiments.

At the same time, for technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of ​​this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
