[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] During their research on veterinary monitors, the inventors discovered that, due to the complex nature of the animal species they monitor, veterinary monitors are prone to malfunction during clinical use. When faced with these issues, operators, often due to inexperience, are unable to smoothly or effectively address them, resulting in a poor user experience. Consequently, remote equipment or personnel are often required to resolve these issues.

[0032] Current troubleshooting assistance methods typically involve the operator contacting the equipment manufacturer by phone or instant messaging, verbally describing the problem. The manufacturer's technicians then provide guidance on resolving the issue via phone or instant messaging, or visit the equipment site to analyze and address the issue. This remote feedback method can lead to delayed or inaccurate feedback, preventing technicians from accurately analyzing the cause of the problem and resolving it promptly.

[0033] Capturing abnormality-related data is crucial for locating the cause and troubleshooting. Currently, some veterinary monitors can automatically record abnormality-related data. These data typically include the following:

[0034] (1) Log abnormal situations. This method can only record abnormal situations such as alarms, and only records the data at the time of the alarm. The recorded data type is single, such as only recording the parameter value at the time of the alarm.

[0035] (2) Freeze the waveform. This method is triggered manually by the freeze command. The monitor freezes the waveform at the trigger moment and within the first 2 minutes based on the command. However, it cannot record the parameter values ​​corresponding to the waveform, nor can it record any data after the trigger moment.

[0036] (3) Review. Some veterinary monitors have a review function. When the operator uses this function, he can view the parameter trend graph and parameter trend table of the past time period, and can view the parameter waveform and parameter value 16 seconds before and after the alarm event occurs. However, for non-alarm abnormalities (such as no waveform display or abnormal waveform, etc.), the device cannot record the relevant abnormal data. Some veterinary monitors can also provide a holographic waveform recording function, that is, the device records the waveform within the past 48 hours. The operator needs to manually search for data in the 48-hour waveform for the time period when the abnormality occurred. The manual operation is relatively cumbersome and the amount of data recorded by the device is large, which takes up the device storage space and affects the device operation speed.

[0037] (4) Screenshot function. Some veterinary monitors can provide a screenshot function. When an abnormality occurs, the device can be manually triggered to take a screenshot. However, this method can only capture the screen data at the triggering moment and cannot obtain data for a period of time before and after the abnormality occurs.

[0038] To summarize, the abnormal data obtained by the above-mentioned several existing exception handling solutions are not comprehensive and complete, or the abnormal data search process is relatively cumbersome and complicated, and the user's operation experience is not good. In this regard, the embodiments of the present application provide a monitoring device, and the exception handling method executed by it can solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems. It should be noted that the exception handling method provided in each embodiment of the present application can be applied to but not limited to veterinary monitors, but can also be used for human monitors, or is not limited to monitoring devices, and can be further extended to various other types of medical equipment, such as anesthesia equipment, infusion equipment, respiratory equipment, etc. The following takes the monitoring device as an example to illustrate the exception handling process of the monitoring device.

[0039] 1 , a monitoring device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: at least one physiological parameter module 101 , a display device 102 , a communication interface 103 and a control device 104 .

[0040] The physiological parameter module 101 is used to obtain raw data of at least one physiological sign parameter of the target object. The target object can be an animal or a human. There can be multiple types of physiological parameter modules 101. Different types of physiological parameter modules 101 are used to collect different types of physiological sign parameters, such as ECG leads, body temperature sensors, blood oxygen sensors, blood pressure sensors, etc., to respectively collect the target object's ECG signals, body temperature, blood oxygen, blood pressure and other physiological sign parameters. It should be noted that in order to distinguish it from the monitoring data shown below, the data collected by the physiological parameter module 101 can be referred to as raw data.

[0041] The display device 102 can be specifically a display screen such as a touch screen or a non-touch screen, which can be integrated with the monitoring device or external to the monitoring device. The display device 102 is used to display the monitoring interface, which at least includes a physiological sign monitoring area, which is used to display monitoring data generated by the raw data of the physiological sign parameters. It should be noted that the monitoring data is presented on the monitoring interface so that the monitoring personnel can view the monitoring data of various physiological sign parameters of the target object. As shown in Figure 2, an example diagram of a monitoring interface, the monitoring data includes the electrocardiogram waveform and heart rate (values ​​corresponding to ECG) shown in the first row, the plethysmographic wave, blood oxygen (SpO2 corresponding value), perfusion index (PI corresponding value), pulse rate (PR corresponding value) shown in the second row, the carbon dioxide content waveform, end-tidal carbon dioxide content (Et corresponding value), airway respiration rate (awRR corresponding value), carbon dioxide intake (Fi corresponding value) shown in the third row, and body temperature (T corresponding value), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean blood pressure (NIBP corresponding value) shown in the fourth row.

[0042] Monitoring data is obtained by processing the raw data collected by the physiological parameter module 101. In one specific embodiment, the monitoring device includes a sensor accessory, a signal acquisition circuit, an amplifier, and a filter connected in sequence. The analog signal of the physiological sign parameter sampled by the sensor accessory is first converted into a digital signal by the signal acquisition circuit. The digital signal is then amplified by the amplifier and filtered and de-noised by the filter. The processed digital signal is input into a control device (such as a processor) for analysis and calculation, thereby obtaining monitoring data for display. In this embodiment, the converted digital signal can be considered as raw data.

[0043] In one embodiment, the monitoring data may include waveforms and / or parameter values ​​of physiological sign parameters. Taking ECG signals as an example, ECG lead electrodes are placed on designated areas of the patient's body to collect the patient's ECG signals in real time. After processing the ECG signals, an ECG waveform and heart rate values ​​are obtained. The ECG waveform and heart rate values ​​can be displayed in the physiological sign monitoring area for medical staff to monitor the patient's heartbeat. Taking body temperature as an example, a body temperature sensor collects the patient's body temperature signal at a preset frequency. After processing the body temperature signal, a body temperature value is obtained and displayed in the physiological sign monitoring area for medical staff to monitor changes in the patient's body temperature. In general, the monitoring data of physiological sign parameters include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: ECG waveform and heart rate parameter value, carbon dioxide waveform and end-tidal carbon dioxide parameter value, blood oxygen plethysmography waveform and blood oxygen parameter value, respiratory waveform and respiratory parameter value, blood pressure parameter value, and body temperature parameter value.

[0044] The communication interface 103 can be called an external communication interface, for example, it can be one or a combination of local area network interfaces composed of Ethernet, token ring, token bus and the backbone fiber optic distributed data interface of these three networks, or it can be one or a combination of wireless data transmission interfaces such as infrared, Bluetooth, wifi, WMTS communication, etc., or it can be one or a combination of wired data transmission interfaces such as RS232, USB, etc., or it can also be a mobile communication network interface.

[0045] The control device 104 can be any unit with data calculation and processing capabilities, such as a central processing unit (CPU), which is the computing core and control core of the control device 104. It is suitable for implementing one or more instructions, specifically suitable for loading and executing one or more computer instructions to implement corresponding method processes or corresponding functions, such as being configured to execute the exception handling method shown in Figure 3, including steps S301-S302.

[0046] S301: In response to a device exception handling request generated based on an abnormal event of the monitoring device, collect abnormal data of the monitoring device within a target time period, wherein the target time period includes the occurrence time of the abnormal event and a period of time before and / or after the occurrence time, and the abnormal data includes the original data of physiological sign parameters and / or monitoring data of physiological sign parameters.

[0047] Specifically, if an abnormal event occurs in the monitoring device, the monitoring device itself generates a device abnormality processing request or an external device inputs the device to the monitoring device.

[0048] Method 1: Automatically generate a device exception handling request. It is understandable that the alarm conditions are pre-set inside the monitoring device. If the current event meets the alarm conditions, the monitoring device will generate an alarm event to issue an alarm prompt. The control device 104 thus monitors whether an alarm event occurs in the monitoring device. If an alarm event is detected in the monitoring device, the alarm event can be further judged. If the alarm event meets the preset conditions, a device exception handling request is automatically generated. It should be noted that the preset conditions can be set by default or manually configured according to actual needs. It can include the type of alarm event, that is, if the type of alarm event generated by the monitoring device is the type of alarm event of the preset conditions, then the alarm event is considered to meet the preset conditions. For example, the alarm event meeting the preset conditions includes: the duration of the alarm event reaches the preset duration, that is, if the alarm event continues for a long time and is not resolved in time, then a device exception handling request can be automatically generated to request other methods to assist in handling the exception.

[0049] For another example, an alarm event meeting a preset condition includes: the alarm event being a pre-set target alarm event. Specifically, a special alarm event can be pre-set to trigger the generation of a device exception handling request. For ease of description, this special alarm event is referred to as a target alarm event. In actual applications, the function of setting a target alarm event can be open to the user, that is, the user can manually configure the target alarm event. Of course, the preset condition can be any one or more combinations of the above, or other conditions set according to actual maintenance needs, which are not limited by this application.

[0050] The process of manually configuring target alarm events is described below with reference to FIG. 4 .

[0051] The display device 102 is also used to display a configuration interface, which includes a target duration setting control and / or a target alarm event setting control. The user can use the target duration setting control to set the duration range of abnormal data collected by the control device 104, and / or the target alarm event setting control to set the target alarm event used by the control device 104 to determine the alarm event.

[0052] An example of a configuration interface is shown in Figure 4, including a target duration setting control 401 and a target alarm event setting control 402. The user can set the post-data acquisition duration (i.e., the second preset duration, which is a period of time after the occurrence time of the abnormal event) through the target duration setting control 401, and can also set the pre-data acquisition duration (i.e., the first preset duration, which is a period of time before the occurrence time of the abnormal event). The control device 104 responds to the user's operation on the target duration setting control and sets the first preset duration (e.g., set to 5 minutes) and / or the second preset duration (e.g., set to 10 minutes) associated with the target duration. The user can set the target alarm event through the target alarm event setting control 402, such as setting an alarm event of the type of advanced alarm as the target alarm event. The control device 104 responds to the user's operation on the target alarm event setting control and sets the target alarm event. The target alarm event setting control shown in Figure 4 can be used to set the name of the target alarm event, the alarm events contained, etc.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the target alarm event is a target alarm event set. As shown in FIG4 , the target alarm event setting control includes: an alarm set option control 4021 and an alarm set custom control 4022. The user can set the name of the alternative alarm event set and the alarm events included in the alternative alarm event set through the alarm set custom control 4022, such as setting an alternative alarm event set as a high-level alarm, which includes alarm events A, B, and C; setting an alternative alarm event set as a medium-level alarm, which includes alarm events D and F, and so on. The control device 104 sets the name of the alternative alarm event set and the alarm events included in it in response to the user's operation on the alarm set custom control. In addition, the name of the alternative alarm event set is displayed in the alarm set option control. For example, after the user clicks the alarm set option control 4021, "high-level alarm" and "medium-level alarm" are displayed in the options of the control. The user can perform a selection operation on the name of the alternative alarm event set in the alarm set option control 4021. In response to the selection operation, the control device 104 sets the alarm events contained in the selected alternative alarm event set as target alarm events, such as setting the alarm events contained in the "advanced alarm" as target alarm events.

[0054] As can be seen from the description of the above configuration interface, users can pre-customize target alarm events. It should be noted that when users customize target alarm events, they can, based on actual needs, select non-alarm type abnormal events such as device accessories falling off, poor contact, etc. as target alarm events. In this way, when such events occur in the monitoring device, an abnormal handling request may also be generated, thereby expanding the scope of abnormal handling requests, making the request situations more diverse and more in line with the user's actual maintenance needs. During actual operation, the control device 104 can use the target alarm event to independently decide whether to generate an abnormal handling request for the device.

[0055] Method 2: Manually triggering a device abnormality handling request. Specifically, if an abnormality occurs during the operation of the monitoring device, the operator can input a device abnormality handling request to the monitoring device. For example, the control device 104 can receive the device abnormality handling request input by the user in any of the following ways.

[0056] Receive a device exception handling request input by the user through the exception handling control included in the monitoring interface, as shown in a schematic diagram of a monitoring interface in FIG5 . The monitoring interface may include a top information area, a parameter waveform area, and a hot key area. The hot key area may include an exception handling control 501. When the user triggers this control, it indicates that a device exception handling request has been input to the monitoring device. It should be noted that the parameter waveform area can be considered as the physiological sign monitoring area described above. In addition, the hot key area may also include controls for other commonly used functions, such as a setting control. After the user triggers the setting control, the display device may be triggered to display the above-mentioned configuration interface to complete the configuration of the target alarm event.

[0057] Receive device exception handling requests input by the user through the physical buttons of the monitoring device. For example, the monitoring device can be provided with physical buttons. The functional implementation of the physical buttons is the same as the exception handling controls in the form of the soft buttons mentioned above, and will not be elaborated here. Receive device exception handling requests input by the user through the external accessories of the monitoring device, such as the external operating handle. Receive device exception handling requests input by the user through the external input devices of the monitoring device, such as the external mouse and keyboard. Receive device exception handling requests input by the user through the associated devices of the monitoring device, such as the associated monitoring device, other associated devices, the central station or the nurse station, and other associated devices such as the communication connection terminal. In addition, it can be understood that the triggering method of the central station or the nurse station can be called a remote triggering method. Receive device exception handling requests input by the user through voice commands, or receive device exception handling requests input by the user through gesture commands.

[0058] It is understood that the device exception handling request is used to indicate that an abnormal event has occurred in the monitoring device. After receiving the device exception handling request input by the user, the control device 104 begins to collect abnormal data of the monitoring device within the target time period. The target time period includes the time when the abnormal event occurred and a period of time before and / or after the time of occurrence. As shown in Figure 4, abnormal data is collected 5 minutes before the time of occurrence of the abnormal event and 10 minutes after the time of occurrence. Compared with the prior art that only collects abnormal data at the time of the alarm event, the abnormal data collected in the embodiment of the present application has a larger time span and the collected abnormal data is more comprehensive.

[0059] In some embodiments, the control device 104 may automatically stop collecting abnormal data after the time limit has expired. In other embodiments, the control device 104 may manually stop collecting abnormal data based on manual operation. Specifically, in response to a device abnormality handling request generated based on an abnormal event of the monitoring device, the control device 104 begins collecting abnormal data from the monitoring device until a stop command input by the user is received, thereby obtaining abnormal data from the monitoring device within the target time limit. For example, the user may input a stop command through voice, gesture, external accessory, associated device, physical key, or soft key.

[0060] The collected abnormal data includes at least one of the raw data of physiological sign parameters and the monitoring data of physiological sign parameters. In other words, both the raw data collected by the physiological parameter module and the monitoring data generated based on the raw data are collected. Compared with the prior art that only collects monitoring data of physiological sign parameters, the abnormal data collected by the embodiment of the present application is more comprehensive. From the perspective of data type, the monitoring data included in the abnormal data includes not only waveform diagrams of physiological sign parameters, but also parameter values ​​of physiological sign parameters, and the data type is also more comprehensive.

[0061] Specifically, the control device 104 may collect abnormal data in any of the following ways.

[0062] Method 1: Recording the display device 102. That is, the control device 104 records the monitoring data of the physiological sign parameters displayed on the display device 102 at the time of the abnormal event and within a period of time after the occurrence time, such as 10 minutes as shown in Figure 4, to obtain the abnormal data of the monitoring device within the target time period. It is understandable that the screen data of the display device 102 includes a monitoring interface, and the monitoring interface includes a waveform diagram and / or parameter value of the physiological sign parameter. Therefore, recording the display device 102 can record the time of the abnormal event and the waveform diagram and / or parameter value for a period of time thereafter.

[0063] Furthermore, the user's operational data after an abnormal event can be recorded. Specifically, the control device 104 records the monitoring interface displayed on the display device 102 and the operational data input by the user through the display device to obtain abnormal data of the monitoring device within a target time period. For example, the operational data can include various operational instructions input by the user, etc., to assist in analyzing and processing abnormal situations.

[0064] Method 2: Collect monitoring data for a period of time before the abnormal event occurs. That is, the control device 104 obtains monitoring data of physiological sign parameters of the monitoring device for a period of time before the abnormal event occurs, as shown in Figure 4, for 5 minutes, and obtains abnormal data of the monitoring device within the target time period.

[0065] Method 3: Collecting raw data. Specifically, the control device 104 obtains the raw data of the physiological parameters for the time period before and after the abnormal event, and obtains the abnormal data of the monitoring device within the target time period. This raw data can help more accurately locate the cause of the abnormality.

[0066] It should be noted that the control device 104 may combine any one or more of the above three methods to obtain more comprehensive abnormality data.

[0067] S302: Control the communication interface to send abnormal data to a preset request processing device.

[0068] The relevant information of the device that receives the exception handling request can be pre-set. After the control device 104 collects the exception data, it transmits the exception data to the request processing device indicated by the relevant information. The request processing device includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a device management platform, a device manufacturer platform, a designated processor terminal, a central station, a cloud storage platform, etc. It is understood that the exception data can be transmitted via various means such as mobile networks, Wi-Fi, and the internet. Transmission methods include, but are not limited to, email, text message, video, voice, and real-time calls.

[0069] One sending method is automatic sending, that is, after the control device 104 collects the abnormal data through step S301, it automatically sends the abnormal data to the request processing device. Another sending method is manual sending, that is, in response to the abnormal data sending instruction input by the user, the control device 104 controls the communication interface to send the abnormal data to the pre-set request processing device. As shown in Figure 4, the configuration interface may also include a data sending control 403. After the user triggers the data sending control 403, the control device 104 sends the collected abnormal data to the request processing device. This method can be used as a supplementary method for automatic sending. For example, if the monitoring device currently does not have the sending conditions, such as the network connection is disconnected, the abnormal data can be sent using a manual triggering method after the sending conditions are normal.

[0070] Exception data can be used as a basis for exception handling operations, such as locating the cause of the exception, so that the exception handler can provide the operator with timely exception handling assistance. It is understandable that in order to facilitate the exception handler to accurately locate the monitoring device, the exception data can also include the device information and / or device location information of the monitoring device. Device information such as the serial number and identity information of the medical device can further include basic device information such as the software version. Specifically, the control device 104 obtains the device information and location information of the medical device, and controls the communication interface to send the exception data, device information and location information to the pre-set request processing device, so that the exception handler can determine the location of the monitoring device based on the device information and location information, and arrive at the monitoring device site in time to perform exception handling.

[0071] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the exception handling process provided by the embodiment of the present application can be as shown in Figure 6. The monitoring equipment is deployed in the ward or operating room. If an abnormal event occurs in the monitoring equipment, the monitoring equipment automatically collects abnormal data (or fault information) based on the abnormal handling request, packages the abnormal data with the device information and the device location, and sends the packaged data to the request processing device through wired networking, WIFI, mobile network, etc. The request processing device can include hospital equipment department equipment, manufacturer equipment, and the terminal of the designated responsible person. The request processing device can be a computer terminal or a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone.

[0072] The control device of the monitoring device responds to the abnormality processing of the device, collects relevant abnormality data and sends it to the remote request processing device, so that the remote device or personnel can assist the operator in processing the abnormality, thereby improving the operator's user experience. From the time dimension, the abnormal data includes not only the data at the time when the abnormality occurs but also the data before and / or after, and the time period of the abnormal data is more comprehensive; from the type dimension, the abnormal data can include the original data of the monitoring parameters and at least one of the presented monitoring data, and the type of abnormal data is also more comprehensive. Compared with the existing abnormality handling scheme, the abnormal data sent by the monitoring device of the embodiment of the present application is more conducive to the analysis of the cause of the abnormality and the abnormality handling, so the abnormality handling effect is better.

[0073] In actual applications, to facilitate subsequent abnormality analysis by the monitoring device locally, the abnormality data can also be exported to a designated device for storage. Specifically, the control device 104 is further configured to, in response to a user-input abnormality data export instruction, control the communication interface to transmit the abnormality data of the monitoring device within a target time period to a pre-set data storage device, so that the data storage device stores the abnormality data.

[0074] Specifically, the user can input through the configuration interface, as shown in Figure 4, the configuration interface includes a data export control 404, and the user triggers the control to input the data export instruction to the monitoring device. Of course, the way in which the user inputs the export instruction can also include many other forms. For details, please refer to the input method of the above-mentioned exception handling request, which will not be repeated here. Data storage devices may include but are not limited to USB flash drives, network drives, other computer terminals, central stations, cloud platforms, etc. This method can be used as a supplementary method for real-time transmission. For example, if the monitoring device currently does not have the conditions for sending, such as the network connection is disconnected, the abnormal data can be exported first and the abnormal data can be sent using manual triggering after the sending conditions are normal.

[0075] After an abnormal event occurs in the monitoring device, the operator may also wish to receive timely assistance in handling the abnormal event. To this end, the monitoring device of the present application embodiment can also provide real-time voice assistance. As shown in Figure 1, the monitoring device can also include an instant messaging module 105, such as a voice module or a video module. The instant messaging module 105 is configured to respond to user input of communication instructions, send an instant messaging request to a pre-set assistance device, and establish a communication link corresponding to the instant messaging request; and control the instant messaging module to communicate with the assistance device via the link. As shown in Figure 6, voice assistance can be provided through real-time conversation or other means.

[0076] In this way, after the operator discovers an abnormal event, he can first trigger the voice assistance function of the monitoring device, communicate with the assisting device through the monitoring device, and the assisting device automatically or the customer service personnel communicate with the operator through the communication link through the assisting device to guide or assist the operator in handling the abnormal situation, thereby improving the operator's experience of handling abnormalities with the monitoring device.

[0077] To facilitate understanding of the automatic handling scheme of the monitoring device for abnormalities, this is described in conjunction with Figure 7. Referring to Figure 7, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for handling abnormalities of the monitoring device, which can be executed by the control device 104 and specifically includes steps S701-S705.

[0078] S701: An alarm event is detected.

[0079] The monitoring device can monitor alarm events by itself and issue an alarm prompt if an alarm event occurs. Therefore, if the control device 104 monitors an alarm prompt, it is considered that an alarm event of the monitoring device has been monitored.

[0080] S702: Determine whether the alarm event belongs to a preset target alarm event. If so, execute step S703; if not, execute other processing procedures.

[0081] Among them, the relevant description of the target alarm event can be found in the corresponding steps above, which will not be repeated here. Other processing procedures can be any process other than the screen recording operation, and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0082] S703: Automatically start recording the screen of the display device until the set recording time is reached and then stop recording.

[0083] The recording duration can be considered as the second preset duration in each of the above embodiments, such as 10 minutes as shown in FIG4 .

Further, the exception handling method may further include step S805: packaging the screen recording data and the collected data together and exporting them to a data storage device.

[0098] Different from the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiment of the present application starts the screen recording operation based on manual triggering and stops the screen recording operation based on manual triggering, and the screen recording process is more flexible and controllable.

[0099] A specific example of a monitor is shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 provides a system framework diagram of a parameter processing module in a multi-parameter monitor.

[0100] The multi-parameter monitor has a separate housing with a sensor interface area on the housing panel, which integrates multiple sensor interfaces for connecting to external physiological parameter module accessories 911. The housing panel also includes a small LCD display area, a display 918, input interface circuits 920, and alarm circuits 919 (such as an LED alarm area). The parameter processing module serves as an external communication and power interface for communicating with and drawing power from the host computer. The parameter processing module also supports plug-in parameter modules, which can be inserted to form a plug-in monitor host, serving as part of the monitor. Alternatively, the plug-in parameter module can be connected to the host computer via a cable, serving as an external accessory. The multi-parameter monitor also includes a memory 917 for storing computer programs and various data generated during the monitoring process.

[0101] The internal circuit of the parameter processing module is placed in the housing, as shown in FIG9 , and includes a signal acquisition circuit 912 corresponding to at least two physiological parameters, a front-end signal processing circuit 913 and a main processor 915 .

[0102] The main processor 915 can implement each processing-related step in the above-mentioned device exception handling method.

[0103] The signal acquisition circuit 912 can be selected from an electrocardiogram circuit, a respiratory circuit, a body temperature circuit, a blood oxygenation circuit, a non-invasive blood pressure circuit, an invasive blood pressure circuit, etc. These signal acquisition circuits 912 are electrically connected to corresponding sensor interfaces, respectively, and are used to be electrically connected to sensor accessories 911 corresponding to different physiological parameters. The output end is coupled to the front-end signal processor, the communication port of the front-end signal processor is coupled to the main processor, and the main processor is electrically connected to the external communication and power supply interface.

[0104] Various physiological parameter measurement circuits can adopt general circuits in the existing technology. The front-end signal processor completes the sampling and analog-to-digital conversion of the output signal of the signal acquisition circuit, and outputs a control signal to control the measurement process of physiological signals. These parameters include but are not limited to: electrocardiogram, respiration, body temperature, blood oxygen, non-invasive blood pressure and invasive blood pressure parameters.

[0105] The front-end signal processor can be implemented using a single-chip microcomputer or other semiconductor device, or an ASIC or FPGA. The front-end signal processor can be powered by an isolated power supply. The sampled data is then packaged after simple processing and sent to the main processor via an isolated communication interface. For example, the front-end signal processor circuit can be coupled to the main processor 915 via an isolated power supply and communication interface 914.

[0106] The front-end signal processor is powered by an isolated power supply because the DC / DC power supply is isolated by a transformer, which serves to isolate the patient from the power supply equipment. The main purposes are: 1. Isolating the patient by floating the application part of the isolation transformer to minimize the patient leakage current; 2. Preventing the voltage or energy during defibrillation or electrosurgical operation from affecting the main control board and other intermediate circuit boards and devices (guaranteed by creepage distance and electrical clearance).

[0107] The main processor completes the calculation of physiological parameters and sends the calculation results and waveforms of the parameters to the host (such as a host with a display, a PC, a central station, etc.) through the external communication and power supply interface. The external communication and power supply interface 916 can be one or a combination of local area network interfaces composed of Ethernet, Token Ring, Token Bus, and the fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) as the backbone network of these three networks. It can also be one or a combination of wireless interfaces such as infrared, Bluetooth, wifi, WMTS communication, etc., or it can also be one or a combination of wired data connection interfaces such as RS232 and USB.

[0108] The external communication and power interface 916 can also be a wireless data transmission interface, a wired data transmission interface, or a combination thereof. The host device can be any computer device, such as a monitor, an electrocardiograph, an ultrasound machine, or a computer. By installing the corresponding software, a monitoring device can be formed. The host device can also be a communication device, such as a mobile phone.
