The strap 32 can also be adjusted in length to adapt to the size of women, children and adult men. The device body 1 is also provided with a coupling agent storage box. The storage box is equipped with a micropump system. The micropump system automatically supplies coupling agent to the bottom of the probe to maintain good acoustic conduction during long-term detection. The coupling agent will be distributed on the surface of the base 14. A sealed door 2 is provided on the storage box. A handle 21 is provided on the sealed door 2. The handle 21 can open the sealed door 2 more conveniently. Combined with the anti-evaporation design, it prevents the coupling agent from drying out during long-term use.

[0045] The device body 1 switches modes based on the testing requirements. Its base 14, recessed and made of soft silicone, contacts the patient's skin and can be pressed down to enhance the fit. A pressure sensing system within the base 14 monitors the pressure applied to the probe 4 in real time, ensuring signal quality and preventing patient discomfort. In the connection structure 3, mirror-opposite connecting rods 31 on either side of the device body 1 are connected to rotatable, length-adjustable elastic straps 32 lined with non-slip, breathable, and waterproof material (such as silicone particles or medical patches) to accommodate different body sizes and securely secure the device. A coupling agent storage tank within the device body 1 automatically supplies coupling agent to the bottom of the probe via a micropump system. The coupling agent is distributed across the surface of the base 14 to maintain good acoustic conduction. The sealed door 2 with a handle 21 on the storage tank features an anti-evaporation design to prevent the coupling agent from drying out. The probe 4 at the bottom of the device body 1 transmits and receives ultrasonic waves, analyzing the data based on the characteristics of the reflected waves to achieve real-time dynamic monitoring of the patient's physical condition.

[0046] The device body 1 is also provided with: a wireless data transmission module, which transmits the data collected by the probe 4 to the cloud; or transmits it to a mobile phone or tablet, supporting remote data viewing and online diagnosis by doctors.

When a drop in signal quality is detected (such as insufficient coupling agent or poor adhesion), the vibration prompts the user to adjust. It also includes a flexible cable or wireless transmission module. The flexible cable is used to connect to the probe 4 and the host for power supply and data transmission, while the wireless transmission uses a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi module to realize the integration of signal acquisition and transmission in the probe 4 to avoid the influence of cables; the intelligent analysis and early warning system has a built-in AI algorithm to automatically analyze real-time images, such as parameters such as fetal heart rate and EF value, set early warning thresholds, and automatically send alarms to doctors and family members when abnormal conditions are detected.

[0047] The device switches modes based on testing needs and is secured to the patient's body via the base 14, suction cup 15, and connecting structure 3. The power module within the device body 1 utilizes a built-in high-energy-density lithium battery, dynamically adjusting power consumption in conjunction with a low-power management system. Power is supplied via the fast-charging port on the socket 13, enabling over 24 hours of continuous operation. The bottom probe 4 transmits and receives ultrasonic waves. The collected data, compressed and pre-processed by the data processing and storage module, is then transmitted to the cloud, mobile phone, or tablet via a wireless data transmission module (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) for remote viewing and online diagnosis by a doctor. Furthermore, an integrated microprocessor supports local storage, saving over six hours of data even when the network is disconnected and providing cloud synchronization. Furthermore, the flexible sensor array within the dynamic adaptive design module adapts to skin deformation to ensure ultrasonic signal stability. A pressure sensing system ensures signal quality and prevents patient discomfort. A built-in gyroscope and accelerometer monitor the position and angle of the probe 4 in real time, prompting the user to fine-tune the position for optimal imaging quality. An abnormality feedback module monitors the quality of the wireless data transmission signal, and a vibration feedback module within the probe 4 prompts the user to adjust when the signal drops. In addition, the intelligent analysis and early warning system has a built-in AI algorithm to automatically analyze real-time images, set early warning thresholds for parameters such as fetal heart rate and EF value, and automatically send alarms to doctors and family members in the event of abnormalities, thus achieving convenient, real-time and accurate monitoring of the patient's physical condition in all aspects.

[0048] A method for applying a wearable ultrasound device based on dynamic monitoring, based on the characteristics of claim 7, comprises the following specific steps:

[0049] S1: Adjusting the state of the device body 1 includes: opening the sealed door 2 via the handle 21, filling a suitable amount of coupling agent into the storage box, automatically supplying the coupling agent to the bottom of the probe 4 via the micro-pump system, turning on the power module to start the device body 1, and then attaching the base 14 to the patient's skin, and fixing the device body 1 to the patient using the connecting structure 3;

[0050] S2: Probe 4 detects the patient, and the data processing and storage module analyzes the image. The integrated microprocessor compresses and preprocesses the ultrasound image in real time, supports local storage, and can save more than 6 hours of data even when the network is disconnected. It provides cloud data synchronization function to facilitate long-term trend analysis. If the image is normal, proceed to step S4. If there is a problem, the intelligent analysis and early warning system alarm will automatically send an alarm to the doctor and family members when abnormal conditions are detected;

[0051] S3: The patient adjusts the position of the device body 1 on the body and observes whether the intelligent analysis and early warning system alarms. If it does, continue to adjust. If it is normal, proceed to step S4;

[0052] S4: The wireless data transmission module transmits the image data detected by the probe 4 to the cloud.

[0053] The state of the device body 1 is adjusted in S1, specifically:

[0054] S11: Turn on the power module and start the entire device;

[0055] S12: adjusting the usage mode of the device body 1, wherein the supported modes include B-ultrasound mode, M-ultrasound mode, and Doppler mode for structural imaging and blood flow monitoring;

[0056] S13: placing the probe 4 on the position of the patient to be detected, and accurately positioning the position to be detected;

[0057] S14: The suction cup 15 is attached to the patient's skin and performs preliminary work on the device body 1.

[0058] When transmitting the image in step S4, the dynamic adaptation design module stabilizes the quality of the transmitted image, and the abnormal feedback module detects the transmitted image. If any problem occurs, step S2 is repeated.

[0059] When using a wearable ultrasound device for dynamic monitoring, the device 1 is first powered on by turning on the power module. The mode of use (e.g., B-ultrasound, M-ultrasound, or Doppler mode) is adjusted using the control button 12. The probe 4 is placed against the patient's desired location. The suction cup 15 adheres to the skin to initially secure the device 1. The device 1 is then secured to the patient's body using the connecting structure 3, where the connecting rod 31 is connected to a rotatable, length-adjustable strap 32. Simultaneously, the sealed door 2 is opened using the handle 21, and coupling agent is poured into the coupling agent storage tank. A micropump system automatically supplies coupling agent to the bottom of the probe 4. The probe 4 transmits and receives ultrasonic waves to monitor the patient. The data processing and storage module compresses, preprocesses, and locally stores the images. It can store over six hours of data even when the network is disconnected and supports cloud-based synchronization. The intelligent analysis and early warning system uses a built-in AI algorithm to automatically analyze images, set warning thresholds for parameters such as fetal heart rate and EF value, and automatically alert the doctor and family members if an anomaly is detected. If the image is problematic, the patient should adjust the position of the device 1 until it returns to normal. Afterwards, the wireless data transmission module transmits the image data detected by probe 4 to the cloud. During transmission, the dynamic adaptation design module stabilizes image quality, and the abnormal feedback module detects the transmitted image and, if any problems are found, re-analyzes the image. The power module within the device body 1 relies on a high-energy-density lithium battery, a low-power management system, and a fast-charging interface at socket 13 to support over 24 hours of continuous operation. The pressure sensing system at the base 14 monitors the pressure of probe 4 in real time to ensure signal quality and prevent patient discomfort. The built-in gyroscope and accelerometer monitor the position and angle of probe 4 in real time, prompting the user to make fine adjustments for optimal imaging quality.
