Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical Internet of Things and remote monitoring technology, and specifically to a midwife remote monitoring system and method. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing demand for perinatal health management, achieving real-time and accurate monitoring of pregnant women's physiological parameters has become a key issue. Traditional remote monitoring solutions rely on static threshold alarm mechanisms, ignoring complex factors such as individual physiological differences among pregnant women, dynamic fluctuations in vital parameters, and the coupling relationship between multimodal data. Current technology suffers from three core flaws: signal interference. The uterine contraction pressure waves and fetal heart sounds collected by the abdominal band are easily interfered with by motion artifacts, leading to misjudgment; insufficient dynamic adaptability. The existing algorithm cannot automatically adjust the warning threshold according to the pregnant woman's circadian rhythm and body position changes; and delayed response. The system lacks the ability to predict complications, triggering alarms only after an abnormality occurs, delaying intervention.
[0003] In the existing technology, uterine contraction pressure is collected through a flexible sensor belly belt, blood oxygen saturation is monitored by a ring-type device, and biochemical indicators are analyzed by a smart toilet. Signal filtering and a simple rule engine are used to implement basic risk assessment. Although such solutions can partially improve data integrity, they still have significant limitations. The dynamic adaptability to the environment is weak. When the activity status of the pregnant woman suddenly changes or there is a sudden interference, the system cannot reconstruct the analysis model in real time, and the false alarm rate increases. There is also a passive response defect, which only issues an alarm when the current abnormality is detected, and preventive intervention capabilities are not established. Therefore, there is an urgent need to introduce dynamic modeling, predictive analysis and closed-loop control mechanisms to achieve breakthroughs in quality and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0077] 1. This invention uses an LSTM neural network to fuse multiple physiological parameters, such as uterine contraction interval, blood oxygen saturation, and pulse wave transmission time, in real time to generate physical sign prediction values. Combined with urine biochemical indicators, this method breaks through the limitations of traditional single-parameter static analysis. This deep collaboration significantly improves the ability to predict abnormal events early, achieving a shift from passive response to active prediction.
[0078] 2. This invention uses Gaussian process regression to construct a personalized physiological baseline model for pregnant women. It combines this with a weighted evidence theory algorithm to dynamically adjust the weights of multiple evidence sources, addressing the problem that traditional static thresholds cannot adapt to individual physiological fluctuations. The system can autonomously optimize the risk assessment model as the pregnant woman's condition changes, significantly reducing the false alarm rate.

[0113] 2) Extract the peak timestamps h of consecutive contraction events based on the aligned contraction pressure waveforms f ,
[0114] Calculate the time series H between contractions f , the calculation formula is as follows:
[0115] H f =h f -h f-1
[0116] Among them, H f is the time series of the interval between the fth contraction, is the peak timestamp of the f-th uterine contraction pressure waveform;
[0117] H f <2 minutes and H f Waveforms >10 minutes are marked as abnormal.
[0118] The uterine contraction interval time series, blood oxygen saturation and pulse wave transmission time signals are input into the preset LSTM neural network model as physiological parameters;
[0119] The LSTM neural network model consists of input layer, processing layer and output layer.
[0120] The input layer receives the time series of uterine contraction intervals, blood oxygen saturation, and pulse wave transmission time signals, and sets the time window;
[0121] In order to effectively capture the temporal dynamic characteristics of these physiological parameters and their mutual dependencies, the input layer sets a fixed-length time window (the default length is 60 seconds), and the system continuously constructs the latest physiological parameters in the time window into a vector Y with a sliding step (the default length is 10 seconds).

[0143] An intelligent assessment module calculates a comprehensive risk score based on the uterine contraction interval time series, predicted values of physical sign parameters, and biochemical indicators; constructs a personalized physiological baseline model for pregnant women, and outputs a personalized physiological baseline;
[0144] The comprehensive risk score is calculated using a weighted evidence theory algorithm, which includes an evidence source setting module, a weight dynamic adjustment module, and a calculation module;
[0145] The evidence source setting module uses each of the contraction interval time series, predicted values of physical sign parameters, and biochemical indicators as evidence sources, sets a first weight for each evidence source based on historical clinical data and expert experience, and calculates the evidence source support and evidence source conflict degree;
[0146] Evidence source support is used to quantify the credibility of each evidence source. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0160] The first level of warning uses the contraction interval time series to issue an abnormal warning, which is divided into three levels;
[0161] The first level of warning is when the interval between single contractions is less than 2 minutes or more than 10 minutes. The flexible sensor belly belt will vibrate at a low frequency and a text alert will be pushed to the pregnant woman's mobile terminal, suggesting that she adjust her body position or contact a midwife.
[0162] The second-level warning is when the interval between two consecutive contractions is abnormal. The medium-frequency vibration of the vital sign monitoring ring is activated, and the system generates a uterine contraction waveform and time series analysis chart. A pop-up window reminder is sent to the midwife, along with the uterine contraction waveform and time series analysis chart.
[0163] The third-level warning is when the intervals between three consecutive contractions are abnormal. The system triggers a high-frequency vibration alarm to notify the emergency center, and generates an abnormal contraction report and sends it to the emergency center simultaneously.
[0164] The second level of warning, the personalized physiological baseline model receives the predicted values of physical sign parameters in real time, and analyzes the deviation degree between the predicted values of physical sign parameters and the physiological baseline in real time, which is divided into three levels:
[0165] The first deviation will push a prompt message to the pregnant woman and her family members, suggesting that they strengthen observation;
[0166] The second deviation automatically triggers a pop-up window alert for the midwife, along with a trend curve and historical data comparison chart;
[0167] The third deviation system activates the emergency communication link, pushes a red alarm command to the hospital's obstetrics center, and simultaneously transmits the real-time vital signs data of the pregnant woman.
[0168] The third level of warning is divided into three levels of risk warning based on the comprehensive risk score.
[0169] The first risk warning pushes daily advice to pregnant women;
[0170] The second risk warning sends an alert to the midwife's terminal, suggesting a remote consultation;
[0171] The third risk warning triggers an emergency alarm, automatically connects to the emergency system and sends the pregnant woman's geographic location, electronic medical record summary and multimodal data snapshot.
[0172] All data in the system is encrypted, stored, and transmitted using lightweight blockchain technology (such as IOTA Tangle);
