Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of jaundice treatment and detection, and particularly relates to a device for treating and detecting jaundice in children. Background Art

[0002] Jaundice is a common symptom, usually caused by the production of bilirubin from the breakdown of hemoglobin exceeding the excretion capacity of the liver. High levels of bilirubin can lead to many diseases, such as pathological jaundice, kernicterus, encephalopathy, and cerebral palsy, etc.

[0003] Currently, the diagnosis of jaundice usually relies on doctors' visual observation of the degree of skin jaundice and the measurement of bilirubin in the blood. However, this diagnostic method is subjective and unreliable, and requires complex detection processes and equipment, and professional doctors for operation and interpretation. In recent years, image diagnosis technology and artificial intelligence technology have been widely used in the medical field. By analyzing image data, especially medical imaging data, more objective and accurate disease diagnosis results can be obtained. However, there is currently a lack of an intelligent device for diagnosing and treating jaundice with image data on the market. Summary of the Invention

The image acquisition unit 301 is used to acquire images of the skin surface of newborns and transmit the image data to the data transmission unit 302. The data transmission unit 302 transmits the image data to the intelligent control unit 304 for processing and analysis. The intelligent control unit 304 can diagnose neonatal jaundice by analyzing the image data. The intelligent control unit 304 can formulate diagnostic criteria based on the birth weight, age and gender information of the newborn. The phototherapy unit 303 is used to irradiate the skin of the newborn, and the output unit 305 outputs the evaluation result in a visual form;

[0034] The intelligent control unit 304 includes a data preprocessing module 3041, a feature extraction module 3042, a jaundice diagnosis module 3043 and a treatment recommendation module 3044. The data preprocessing module 3041 is used to preprocess the acquired image data. The feature extraction module 3042 is used to extract features from the preprocessed image data. The jaundice diagnosis module 3043 is used to analyze and process the extracted features using machine learning algorithms, so as to diagnose the jaundice condition of the patient. The treatment recommendation module 3044 provides personalized treatment recommendations for the patient according to the diagnosis result.

[0035] The camera or sensor in the image acquisition unit 301 acquires images of the skin color and jaundice degree of different parts of the patient and transmits the image data to the data transmission unit 302. The data transmission unit 302 transmits the image data to the intelligent control unit 304 for processing and analysis. The data preprocessing module 3041 in the intelligent control unit 304 preprocesses the acquired images, such as denoising, grayscale conversion, image enhancement, etc., to reduce interference and noise and improve the image quality. Then the feature extraction module 3042 extracts features from the preprocessed images, extracts jaundice features by calculating features such as image brightness, hue, texture, etc. Then the jaundice diagnosis module 3043 uses algorithms such as machine learning or deep learning to analyze the extracted features and obtain the evaluation result of the jaundice degree. The treatment recommendation module 3044 provides personalized treatment recommendations for the patient according to the diagnosis result. At the same time, the output unit 305 outputs the evaluation result in a visual form to the doctor or the patient to help the doctor better understand the patient's condition and make treatment decisions.

[0036] The image data preprocessing method of the present invention includes the following steps: (1) Denoise the received original image data to eliminate the interference of the acquisition device noise on the image and improve the image quality; (2) Perform edge detection on the denoised image to extract the edge features in the image; (3) Use a machine learning-based classifier to classify the image, distinguish the images of jaundice patients from those of non-jaundice patients, and determine the jaundice degree of the patient.

[0037] The jaundice diagnosis model of the present invention is constructed using deep learning technology and includes the following steps: (1) Construct a convolutional neural network model based on the preprocessed image data; (2) Use the images classified as jaundice patients by the classifier as positive samples and the images of non-jaundice patients as negative samples to perform supervised learning training on the model; (3) Use the cross-validation method to verify the trained model to improve the accuracy of the model.

[0038] The jaundice treatment generation method of the present invention includes the following steps: (1) Evaluate the jaundice degree of the patient to determine the jaundice type and degree of the patient; (2) Generate corresponding treatment suggestions according to the jaundice type and degree of the patient, including treatment plans such as drug treatment, phototherapy, blood transfusion, etc.; (3) Output the treatment suggestions to the doctor to help the doctor make treatment decisions and improve the treatment effect of jaundice patients. The algorithm 103 module is the core of the jaundice intelligent device, and it uses a series of advanced algorithms and models, including deep learning algorithms, image segmentation algorithms, color space conversion algorithms, etc. The algorithm module can improve the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of jaundice by preprocessing and feature extraction of image data.

[0039] Embodiment 2, on the basis of the above embodiment, further includes that the phototherapy unit 303 uses at least one group of light sources.

[0040] Further, the light source is one or more of a red LED, a blue LED, and a green LED.

[0041] During the phototherapy of jaundice, by making the light source emit blue and green light with a shared wavelength, the blue light that causes oxidative stress in newborns can reduce the bilirubin concentration in the blood. This device can reduce the oxidative stress on newborns and reduce the bilirubin concentration in the blood, and is particularly effective for the treatment of jaundice in newborns with a birth weight of less than 1500 g (extremely low birth weight infants).

[0042] These two LEDs can be powered by the same light source, or can be installed at different positions of the phototherapy unit 303 respectively. When using the blue LED, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling its output power to prevent excessive oxidative stress, thereby damaging the blood cells and other tissues of newborns. Therefore, the threshold of the output power can be set in the control system as needed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of phototherapy.

[0043] Embodiment 3. On the basis of the above embodiments, it further includes that the phototherapy unit 303 uses at least one optical filter for selecting light of a specific wavelength.

[0044] Further, the optical filter uses blue light of 450 nm and green light of 525 nm.

[0045] This embodiment can better control light of a specific wavelength.

[0046] Embodiment 4. On the basis of the above embodiments, it further includes that a heat preservation part is arranged in the treatment bed. The heat preservation part is used for maintaining the body temperature of the newborn. The heat preservation part includes at least one heater, and the heater is used for heating the air in the heat preservation part.

[0047] Further, the heat preservation part further includes a humidifier, and the humidifier is used for increasing the humidity in the heat preservation part.

[0048] Furthermore, the heat preservation part further includes an oxygen supply part. The oxygen supply part is used for supplying oxygen to the newborn. The oxygen supply part uses at least one oxygen supply device, such as an oxygen mask, nasal cannula, pipeline, etc.

[0049] These components can be used in combination as needed to provide comprehensive treatment and care services. For example, for a newborn in need of heat preservation, the heater can be set in the heat preservation part of the device to maintain an appropriate body temperature. The humidifier can provide appropriate humidity to improve the symptoms of respiratory diseases and prevent excessive dryness of the skin. The oxygen supply part can provide oxygen supply for a newborn in need of additional oxygen to maintain its normal breathing and vital activities.
