Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of core body temperature detection, and particularly relates to a human core body temperature detection device and method. Background Art

[0002] Measuring the human core body temperature is an important means for evaluating physiological status, disease diagnosis, and health management, and its core significance is reflected in multi-dimensional human body function monitoring and adaptive regulation. From the perspective of clinical medicine, the core body temperature can be used as a sensitive indicator for infections, inflammations, endocrine disorders, and metabolic abnormalities: for example, persistent fever may indicate bacterial infection or autoimmune diseases, while low body temperature may be related to hypothyroidism, severe trauma, or sepsis. Timely monitoring helps early intervention and reduces the risk of complications. In the field of sports science, core body temperature monitoring is crucial for ensuring the safety of athletes. If the body temperature exceeds 40°C during high-intensity training, heat stroke may occur. Through real-time data, the training plan can be optimized and the heat dissipation strategy can be adjusted to avoid muscle damage or cognitive function decline. Marathon runners often rely on oral or rectal thermometers to prevent heat stroke. In addition, workers in extreme environments such as steelworkers or polar explorers need to rely on core body temperature monitoring to prevent heat stress or hypothermia. The development of wearable devices has enabled dynamic early warning and emergency response. In basic metabolic research, the core body temperature is closely related to energy consumption. Approximately 60-70% of the basic metabolism is used to maintain body temperature. Abnormal resting body temperature may reflect thyroid function abnormalities or metabolic syndrome, providing a basis for obesity management and chronic disease prevention and treatment. The progress of modern medical technology has further promoted the precision of core body temperature monitoring. For example, during surgery, the body temperature is regulated through minimally invasive sensors to reduce postoperative complications. Abnormal body temperature in chemotherapy patients can indicate drug side effects and be treated in a timely manner.

[0003] Generally speaking, the core body temperature is not only the "biological clock" of the health status, but also a bridge connecting physiological mechanisms and external interventions. Its applications in disease prevention, sports optimization, environmental adaptation, and precision medicine have significantly improved humans' understanding and management ability of their own health, and have become an indispensable observation dimension in modern life science.

[0004] The prior art mainly measures the human core body temperature by using the single-channel heat flux method: According to the laws of thermodynamics, the temperature difference between the core part of the human body and the human body surface will cause heat to continuously transfer from the inside of the human body to the human body surface, thereby forming a heat flux. The single-channel heat flux method is to attach the measurement model to the human body surface, and the heat of the human body will be transferred to the measurement model, forming a heat flux channel from the human body surface to the measurement model. Without considering the lateral dissipation of heat, the heat flow inside the human body and the heat flow transferred to the measurement model are equal. According to this principle, the human core body temperature is calculated.

[0005] However, there are problems with the single-channel heat flux method for measuring human core body temperature, such as limited accuracy, lag in dynamic response, and narrow applicable scenarios. It relies on local skin or cavity temperature, is easily affected by environmental temperature, exercise state, and measurement location, resulting in large data fluctuations. Moreover, it can only measure temperature at a single point and cannot comprehensively reflect the true heat distribution in the body, especially with significant errors during strenuous exercise or complex pathological conditions. In addition, some invasive measurement methods (such as rectal probes) have poor comfort, limiting the application of long-term continuous monitoring, while surface patch devices may reduce accuracy due to poor contact or sweat interference, making it difficult to meet the high requirements of precision medicine and real-time health management. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Collect original body temperature data through the single-channel heat flux method sensor;

[0015] Collect respiration rate data through the respiration sensor;

[0016] Collect heart rate data through the electrocardiogram sensor;

[0017] The data processing unit dynamically adjusts the weights of the original body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate, and calculates the pre-core body temperature and the body temperature compensation amount using a two-stage fusion algorithm;

[0018] The human core body temperature is obtained by correcting the pre-core body temperature data with the core body temperature compensation amount.

[0019] Preferably, the two-stage fusion algorithm includes: a multi-physiological parameter fusion algorithm based on deep learning; a dynamic compensation algorithm based on the perception of the change rates of heart rate, respiratory rate, and pre-core body temperature.

[0020] Preferably, the multi-physiological parameter fusion algorithm based on deep learning includes: a ridge regression model.

[0021] Preferably, the formula of the multi-physiological parameter fusion algorithm is as follows:

[0022] T pre =w o +w1T ori +w2RR+w3HR+w4T ori 2 +w5RR 2 +w6HR 2 +w7T ori RR+w8T ori HR+w9RRHR;

[0023] Where:

[0024] T pre is the pre-core body temperature;

[0025] T ori is the original body temperature calculated by the single-channel heat flux method;

[0026] RR is the respiratory rate;

[0027] HR is the heart rate;

[0028] w0 is the reference offset, and its value range is 36.5 - 37.2;

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0047] The core body temperature detection device and method of the present invention can non-invasively and continuously monitor the core body temperature of the human body. By using the method of multi-source data fusion, it can better avoid the disadvantages of single-parameter estimation; at the same time, through dynamic compensation, the weights of the original body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate measured based on a single channel are adjusted, enhancing the problem of poor adaptability of estimating the core body temperature by a single method due to different manifestations of core body temperature changes in different individuals.

[0048] The "HR-RR combined compensation heat flux method body temperature detection model" proposed by the present invention significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of body temperature detection by integrating the dynamic changes of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). Traditional heat flux methods rely on the linear relationship between body surface heat conduction and environmental parameters and are susceptible to external interferences (such as room temperature fluctuations and patient body movements) or individual differences (such as metabolic rate and skin condition), resulting in measurement deviations. After introducing HR and RR as compensation parameters, the model can capture the associated effects of physiological activities on heat distribution in real time: for example, an increase in heart rate may be accompanied by an increase in local blood flow, indirectly affecting the body surface heat dissipation efficiency; an increase in respiratory rate may change the heat loss rate through evaporation. By establishing a non-linear coupling relationship between HR-RR and heat flux density, the model can dynamically correct the systematic errors in body temperature calculation, especially in dynamic scenarios such as intensive care and perioperative management, effectively alleviating the lag and misjudgment risks caused by relying on a single parameter.

[0049] The present invention uses a directional weighting algorithm. Combining the physiological allowable ranges of each parameter (such as the 100 bpm threshold for HR and the 30 bpm threshold for RR), the contribution weights of parameter changes are quantified through relative amplitude (Δx / Rx) and the sign function (sgn(x)), which not only avoids the interference of outliers but also retains the dynamic characteristics of physiological signal changes. Clinical verification shows that this technology can reduce the false alarm rate of body temperature when the environmental temperature difference exceeds ±1°C, greatly reducing the adverse impact of environmental temperature fluctuations on the accuracy of core body temperature measurement; moreover, the "HR-RR combined compensation heat flux method body temperature detection model" proposed by the present invention has higher sensitivity for predicting the body temperature trend in complex pathological states such as shock and fever, providing a solution with both real-time and reliability for precision medicine or health status monitoring.

[0057] The following further describes the technical solution in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments to help understand the content of the present invention.

[0058] Embodiment 1

[0059] As Figure 1-2 shown, a human core body temperature detection device, the device includes: a fixing band 1, and a single-channel heat flux method sensor 2, a respiration sensor 3, an electrocardiogram sensor 4 and a data processing unit 5 fixed on one side of the fixing band 1; the single-channel heat flux method sensor 2, the respiration sensor 3, and the electrocardiogram sensor 4 are respectively electrically connected to the data processing unit 5.

[0060] The human core body temperature detection device further includes an acquisition unit, and the acquisition unit includes signal acquisition circuits of the above temperature sensor, electrocardiogram sensor, and respiration sensor.

[0061] The fixing band 1 serves as a carrier for the sensor, the acquisition unit, the data processing unit 5, and the communication unit.

[0062] The data processing unit 5 processes the physiological signals from the data acquisition unit and processes the data.

[0063] The human core body temperature detection device further includes a communication unit, and the communication unit transmits physiological signal data, device parameters, etc.

[0064] As Figure 3 shown, the single-channel heat flux method sensor 2 is composed of two temperature sensors, including a skin temperature sensor and a microenvironment temperature sensor. Between these two temperature sensors is a heat-conducting material with a thermal conductivity similar to that of human tissues. The outside of the sensor is an insulating material to isolate the influence of external heat flux on the sensor as much as possible. The two temperature sensors are integrated temperature chips with a sampling rate of 1 Hz, directly generating digital temperature values and transmitting them to the data processing unit.

[0065] The respiration sensor of this device adopts the respiratory inductive plethysmography method (RIP). By using a coil, the change in the chest / abdominal perimeter caused by respiration is converted into the inductance change of the coil, thereby realizing the detection of the respiration waveform. Compared with other methods, the coil in the RIP method can be better embedded in the device body, improving the wearing comfort.

[0066] The electrocardiogram sensor is composed of an electrocardiogram electrode and an electrocardiogram lead wire.

[0067] The body temperature acquisition will adopt an improved method based on the single-channel heat flux method, with the addition of double-layer heat insulation materials. The single-channel heat flux method consists of two temperature sensors and a prediction algorithm.

[0068] The body temperature acquisition circuit is encapsulated in the body temperature module. The body temperature acquisition circuit adopts the design method of rigid-flexible boards. The body temperature sensor is placed on the rigid board, and the flexible board is equivalent to a connector, and then the acquisition circuit is connected to the host computer.

[0069] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the breathing rate acquisition process and the main structure classification.

[0070] Figure 5 It is a circuit schematic diagram of the respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP).

[0071] The core of the breathing measurement circuit lies in the oscillation generator. The stability and linearity of the oscillation generator directly affect the quality of the measured breathing waveform. In the past, traditional RIP sensors measured breathing waveforms by using RCL oscillators or Wien bridge oscillators to generate oscillation waveforms for breathing measurement, but these traditional oscillators all have the problem of unstable startup conditions. The present invention uses an LC ring oscillator to well solve the problems of instability and poor frequency linearity of traditional RCL and Wien bridge oscillators.

[0072] The LC ring oscillator of the present invention is a circuit that can make its own signal change according to a fixed period in a self-excited manner, and is composed of an odd number of inverters or differential inverters. Its oscillation frequency is controlled by the delay of the inverter, and of course is also affected by inductors, capacitors, resistors, etc. in the circuit. The performance characteristics of the ring oscillator make it conducive to designing oscillators with high frequency, wide adjustment range, and high linearity. It is precisely the characteristic of the wide adjustment range of the ring oscillator that makes the circuit less affected by temperature, humidity, vibration, sharp changes in inductance coils, etc. during actual use, the circuit starts up stably, and the working state is good.

[0073] The circuit of the present invention also has great advantages in anti-motion interference. The sine wave generated by the LC ring oscillator (A1) is input into a counter. After the counter (A2) counts over, it will cause the level of the monostable resonant circuit to flip, and at the same time, the counter will be automatically reset (CLS pin). And so on, the level of the monostable resonant circuit (A3) keeps flipping, forming a square wave output. When the cross-sectional area of the chest changes due to breathing movement, the inductor coil will be stretched and contracted due to chest movement, resulting in a change in inductance, thus changing the oscillation frequency of the sine wave. While the resonant frequency of the sine wave caused by breathing changes, it also changes the duty cycle of the square wave output by the monostable resonant circuit. Therefore, the breathing signal of the human body can be measured by using the average voltage per unit time of the square wave. This working method can well reduce the influence of motion on the measurement accuracy of breathing, and has a large dynamic range of AC signal input, because the amplitude change of the input signal is converted into a frequency change, thus avoiding saturation caused by too large an AC input signal.

[0074] In addition to the above advantages, the components of this breathing measurement circuit are simple and the quantity is small (5 chips). The circuit design area is only 15*15mm, and the working current is only 1mA, which can well meet the requirements of miniaturization and extremely low power consumption of wearable physiological monitoring devices.

[0075] There are 4 ECG electrodes in this embodiment, and the ECG data of 2 channels are collected.

[0076] The present invention will select ADS1292 of Texas Instruments (Ti) company. It belongs to the ADS129x series, but is different from ADS1298 and ADS1299. It supports 2-lead ECG signal detection, just meeting the requirements of this project, integrating functions such as 24bits ADC, and connecting to the MCU through the SPI interface.

[0077] The data processing unit is used to obtain ECG data through the SPI interface, obtain body temperature data through the IIC interface, and obtain breathing data through the ADC. At the same time, the processor also performs necessary data processing on the obtained data.

[0078] The specific body temperature calculation model is as follows:

[0079] Table 1 Body Temperature Model Coefficients

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] For the first stage (before 1000 seconds):

[0083] T ori= 0.302 * Te - 2.020 * Ts - 0.821 * Ts * Te - 0.011 * Te 2 + 0.030 * Ts 2 + 0.007 * Ts * Te + 0.816 * log

[0084] (Te) + 0.387 * log(Ts) + 0.007 * dif(Ts) - 0.086 * (init_Ts) + 63.467

[0085] where log is the natural logarithm, dif is the forward first-order difference, and init_Ts is the starting value of the Ts temperature sensor.

[0086] For the second stage (after 1000 seconds):

[0087] T ori = 11.400 * Te - 21.798 * Ts + 0.782 * Ts * Te - 0.074 * Te 2 + 0.418 * Ts 2 - 0.197 * Ts * Te - 0.597 * log(Te) + 0.095 * log(Ts) + 0.087 * dif(Ts) + 221.254

[0088] where log is the natural logarithm, dif is the forward first-order difference.

[0089] The specific steps for calculating the respiratory rate are as follows:

[0090] The main steps for calculating the respiratory rate are: downsampling and filtering the respiratory signal, differentiating the signal, determining whether the differentiated signal is a peak point, calculating the interval for the qualified peak points, then finding the average value of the peak point intervals within the window period, and further calculating the respiratory rate.

[0091] The specific steps for calculating the heart rate are as follows:

[0092] Filtering, differentiating, averaging, and downsampling the electrocardiogram signal, finding the maximum value for the downsampled signal, determining whether the maximum value meets the peak point condition, then finding the average value of the peak point intervals within the window period, and further calculating the heart rate.

[0123] T pre = w o + w1T ori + w2RR + w3HR + w4T ori 2 + w5RR 2 + w6HR 2 + w7T ori RR + w8T ori HR + w9RRHR;
