Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sleep monitoring, and in particular to a sleep monitoring therapeutic apparatus and method. Background Art

[0002] In modern society, people are paying more and more attention to sleep quality, and sleep detection technology is also developing. Traditional sleep monitoring methods mainly rely on polysomnography, which can accurately monitor multiple physiological signals such as electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, electrooculogram, electromyogram, etc. by connecting multiple electrodes and sensors to the human body, so as to comprehensively analyze sleep structure, sleep stage, and whether there are sleep disorders such as sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder. However, PSG equipment has many limitations. The equipment is bulky and expensive, usually only used in professional medical institutions, and the operation is complicated, requiring professional technicians to install and debug, which makes it difficult for ordinary home users to achieve, greatly limiting the popularization and application of sleep monitoring technology in daily life.

[0003] With the advancement of science and technology, wearable sleep monitoring devices are gradually emerging. Such devices usually use technologies such as accelerometers and heart rate sensors, and appear in the form of smart bracelets, smart watches, etc. They can be easily worn on the body to monitor body movements, heart rate and other information during sleep, and roughly estimate sleep duration and sleep stages through built-in algorithms. They have the advantages of small size, easy to carry, and simple to use, providing users with a convenient way to monitor sleep. However, this type of equipment also has obvious shortcomings. Its monitoring indicators are relatively single. For some more complex sleep disorders, there are some simple sleep aid products on the market in terms of sleep aid treatment, such as ordinary sleep pillows and mattresses. Some sleep pillows improve sleeping posture by adjusting height, material, etc., but their functions are relatively single and they cannot monitor and feedback physiological parameters during sleep.

[0004] In summary, existing sleep monitoring and auxiliary treatment equipment have defects in function, convenience and popularity, and it is difficult to meet people's needs for family-based and comprehensive sleep health management. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a sleep monitoring and treatment device that integrates multiple functions, is easy to operate, and can effectively monitor and improve sleep conditions.

[0030] The left and right sides of the detection pad 1 are provided with hip support airbags 6, and control valves are provided between the hip support airbags 6 and the air inlet pipe 8 and the air outlet pipe 7 on the left and right sides. A flexible connection is adopted between the hip support airbags 6 and the detection pad 1. The side surface of the detection pad 1 is fixedly connected with the air inlet pipe 8, and one end of the air inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected with the air pump 9, and the side surface of the detection pad 1 is fixedly connected with the air outlet pipe 7. The side surface of the detection pad 1 is fixedly connected with an anti-lost rope 10, and one end of the anti-lost rope 10 is detachably connected with a smart bracelet 11. A main control module 15 is provided inside the detection pad 1. The main control module 15 is electrically connected to the monitor 14, the smart bracelet 11, the air pump 9, and the detection pad 1 respectively.

[0031] The main control module 15 includes microprocessor, storage, communication, power management, sensor port, display and key control unit, among which the microprocessor unit is the core of the main control module, responsible for executing various instructions and algorithms, analyzing, processing and calculating the data collected from various sensors, such as calculating the sleep duration, sleep stage, etc. Common microprocessors include ARM series, which have the characteristics of low power consumption and high performance, and can meet the needs of real-time data processing of sleep monitors.

[0032] The storage unit is used to store the detected data and related program codes. It is divided into flash memory and random access memory. Flash memory is used to store sleep data, user configuration information, etc. for a long time. Even if the device is powered off, the data will not be lost.

[0038] When in use, the user takes off the smart bracelet 11 and wears it on the wrist, and lies flat on the detection mat 1 to sleep. At this time, the monitor 14 monitors the person in real time through the vital sign monitoring radar, and continuously collects breathing, heart rate, bed leaving, and body movement information.

[0039] The sleep state of the user is monitored in real time by the monitor 14. When the head posture of the monitored person affects the sleep quality, the main control module 15 controls the air pump 9 to work, so that the head support airbag 3 works, and the head is supported and aligned. When the shoulder posture of the monitored person affects the sleep quality, the main control module 15 controls the air pump 9 to work, so that the shoulder support airbag 4 works, and the shoulder is supported and aligned. When the waist posture of the monitored person affects the sleep quality, the main control module 15 controls the air pump 9 to work, so that the waist support airbag 5 works, and the waist is supported and aligned. When the hip posture of the monitored person affects the sleep quality, the main control module 15 controls the air pump 9 to work, so that the hip support airbag 6 works, and the hip is supported and aligned.

[0040] When the monitor 14 detects abnormal breathing, heart rate, and body movement information during real-time monitoring of a person through the vital sign monitoring radar, the main control module 15 controls the smart bracelet 11 to record the abnormal data and send abnormal information. In an emergency, the smart bracelet 11 will force the vibration and automatic dialing functions.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
