Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of hot compress technology, and more specifically, to a hot compress device and method for treating chronic pain in the elderly based on traditional Chinese medicine. Background Art

[0002] As a non-drug therapy, hot compress has important value in chronic pain management. However, its safety and effectiveness are highly dependent on the accuracy of temperature control. Targeting the physiological characteristics of special groups such as the elderly, new hot compress technology that combines intelligent sensing and dynamic temperature control algorithms will become a key breakthrough in overcoming the limitations of traditional therapies in the future. With the aging of the population, the problem of chronic pain in the elderly is becoming increasingly prominent. Hot compress therapy, as a traditional physical therapy method, is widely used because of its non-invasiveness and ease of operation. Existing hot compress devices mostly use fixed temperature control modes or simple temperature control algorithms, but there are significant defects in actual applications: the physiological characteristics of the elderly, such as reduced skin thermal sensitivity and thinning of subcutaneous tissue, lead to significant individual differences in their heat tolerance thresholds. Traditional devices cannot effectively identify and adapt to such differences. The impact of changes in ambient temperature and humidity on the heat dissipation efficiency of the hot compress area is not included in the control model; the lack of a dynamic perception mechanism for skin stress response can easily cause low-temperature burns or insufficient hot compress effect. Therefore, how to combine the dynamic temperature perception mechanism of the elderly's skin to perform gradient control of the heating of the hot compress device has become a problem facing the industry.

Finally, the system uses monitoring data from the preheating phase to predict subsequent heating behavior and automatically generates a safe heating curve based on an algorithm, reducing the need for manual intervention. This closed-loop control mode lowers the operational threshold while avoiding the risk of human misjudgment. Using this solution, the heating of the hot compress device can be gradient-controlled, combining the dynamic temperature perception mechanism of the elderly skin. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0017] refer to Figure 1 , which is an exemplary flow chart of an intelligent temperature adjustment method according to some embodiments of the present application. The intelligent temperature adjustment method 100 mainly includes the following steps: In some embodiments, the hot compress device includes preheating and hot compress heating during the hot compress process. Preheating means preheating the hot compress area before the formal hot compress, so as to obtain the reaction of the target elderly person's hot compress area to the temperature through preheating, and control the temperature during the hot compress heating process through this reaction, so that the heating condition of the hot compress heating is more in line with the skin of the target elderly person, so as to improve the comfort of the hot compress heating.

[0018] In step 101, the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly person is preheated, and the surface temperature and redness of the hot compress area are monitored during the preheating process.

[0019] In specific implementation, after preheating the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly person, the surface temperature of the hot compress area during the preheating process is monitored by a temperature sensor, and a photo of the hot compress area during the preheating process is taken by an industrial camera. The RGB color model is used to analyze the change in the red component of the skin in the photo, and the redness state of the skin is judged based on the change in the red component; in other embodiments, other methods of collection can also be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0020] It should be noted that the surface temperature described in this application represents the temperature of the skin surface of the target user's hot compress area during preheating, and the redness state represents the degree of redness of the skin surface of the target user's hot compress area during preheating (i.e., the erythema phenomenon on the skin surface). The redness state includes a collection of the redness degrees at each collection time point. Combining the surface temperature change of the hot compress area and the redness state of the surface skin, the temperature perception of the surface skin of the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly can be analyzed.

[0021] In step 102, correlation analysis is performed on all monitored surface temperatures and the redness state to obtain the temperature sensitivity of the target elderly person's hot compress area, and then the skin stress index of the target elderly person's hot compress area when hot compress is applied is determined based on the sensitivity and the individual health status of the target elderly person.

[0022] In some embodiments, correlation analysis of all monitored surface temperatures and the redness state to determine the temperature sensitivity of the target elderly hot compress area can be performed using the following steps: Determining multiple correlated temperatures of the skin of the target elderly person's hot compress area based on all monitored surface temperatures and the redness state; Determine the sensitivity of the target elderly hot compress site based on all associated temperatures.

[0023] In specific implementation, the following method can be used to determine the multiple associated temperatures of the skin of the target elderly person's hot compress area based on all surface temperatures obtained by monitoring and the redness state, namely: obtain a difference threshold of the redness state, wherein the difference threshold represents the minimum change threshold of the difference in the degree of redness, and is used to judge the condition of the skin receiving temperature at the hot compress area; if the redness degree in the redness state changes faster, it means that the correlation between the current surface temperature change and the redness degree is stronger, and all the difference degrees in the redness state can be judged by the above-mentioned difference threshold, and each surface temperature corresponding to the faster change is used as the associated temperature, thereby obtaining multiple associated temperatures of the skin of the target elderly person's hot compress area, wherein the associated temperature represents a temperature that is strongly correlated with the redness degree of the hot compress area, and can be used to analyze the redness changes in the hot compress area; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0024] In specific implementation, the sensitivity of the target elderly person's hot compress area can be determined based on all associated temperatures in the following manner, namely: since all associated temperatures are screened out through changes in the degree of redness of the hot compress area, the sensitivity of the hot compress area to the hot compress temperature can be analyzed through all associated temperatures, and a thermosensitive model can be initialized. A thermosensitive model of the hot compress area to the hot compress temperature can be constructed through machine learning algorithms (such as linear regression and neural networks). The thermosensitive model can be trained using historical surface temperature data and redness status data of each elderly person to determine the weight coefficients A and B of the associated model, and then the thermosensitive model can be optimized through a cross-validation method. The structure of the model is: sensitivity = associated temperature * A + degree of redness * B. All associated temperatures are input into the thermosensitive model, and the sensitivity of the target elderly person's hot compress area to temperature is output through the model. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0025] It should be noted that the sensitivity in this application represents the parameter value of the sensitivity of the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly to the hot compress temperature during the hot compress process. It can be used to analyze the heating state of the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly and improve the adaptation of the hot compress area to changes in the hot compress temperature.

[0026] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , this figure is an exemplary flow chart for determining the skin stress index in some embodiments of the present application. In this embodiment, the skin stress index of the target elderly person during the hot compress process is determined by the sensitivity and the individual health status of the target elderly person during the hot compress process. The following steps can be used: First, in step 1021, the individual health status of the target elderly person during the hot compress process is obtained; Next, in step 1022, the health impact coefficient of the hot compress site of the target elderly person is determined based on the individual health condition of the target elderly person during the hot compress process; Finally, in step 1023, the stress analysis of the skin of the target elderly person's hot compress area is performed in combination with the health impact coefficient and the sensitivity to obtain the skin stress index of the target elderly person's hot compress area when the hot compress is performed.

[0027] In specific implementation, obtaining the individual health status of the target elderly person during the hot compress process can be achieved in the following manner, namely: obtaining the pathological data of the target elderly person from the hospital management system, and using the pathological data as the individual health status of the target elderly person during the hot compress process, wherein the individual health status represents the physical health status of the target elderly person; determining the health impact coefficient of the hot compress site of the target elderly person based on the individual health status of the target elderly person during the hot compress process can be achieved in the following manner, namely: since the individual health status is related to the tolerance of the skin surface, such as (high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc., all affect the skin's own tolerance to temperature), the individual health status has an impact on the skin irritability of the target elderly person during the hot compress, analyzing the correlation between the health status and the skin surface stress through the data association technology in the prior art, and based on the correlation, analyzing the correlation between the individual health status and the skin irritability of the target elderly person, and using the correlation as the health impact coefficient of the hot compress site of the target elderly person, wherein the health impact coefficient represents a parameter of the degree of influence of the individual health status of the target elderly person on the skin irritability of the target elderly person; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0028] In specific implementation, the skin stress analysis of the target elderly person's hot compress area is performed in combination with the health impact coefficient and the sensitivity, and the skin stress index of the target elderly person's hot compress area when the hot compress is performed can be obtained in the following manner, namely: the relationship strength between the sensitivity and the skin stress index and the relationship strength between the health impact coefficient and the skin stress index are analyzed by a Pearson correlation analysis model, the two relationship strengths are combined by a fusion algorithm in the prior art (such as the weighted average method), and a fusion value of the two relationship strengths is calculated. The fusion value is used as a representation value of the skin stress index of the target elderly person's hot compress area when the hot compress is performed, wherein the larger the representation value, the greater the skin stress of the target elderly person's hot compress area to temperature when the hot compress is performed, and vice versa, the smaller the skin stress of the target elderly person's hot compress area to temperature when the hot compress is performed; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0029] It should be noted that the skin stress index in this application indicates the degree of stress of the target elderly person's skin to the hot compress temperature during the hot compress process, and can be used to analyze the temperature stress of the skin of the target elderly person's hot compress area, so as to adjust the heating condition of the hot compress area by the hot compress device.

[0030] In step 103, the temperature difference constraint between the hot compress part and the hot compress temperature of the target elderly person is determined based on the rising gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress part during the preheating process and the falling gradient of the surface temperature after the preheating is completed. Based on the temperature difference constraint and the thermal conductivity characteristics of the hot compress device, the out-of-control range of the surface temperature when the hot compress device heats the hot compress part of the target elderly person is obtained.

[0031] In some embodiments, determining the temperature difference constraint between the target elderly person's hot compress site and the hot compress temperature based on the rising gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress site during the preheating process and the falling gradient of the surface temperature after the preheating is completed can be achieved by the following steps: After the preheating is completed, the surface temperature of the hot compress area after the preheating is completed is collected; Determine the surface temperature drop gradient of the target elderly person's hot compress area based on all collected surface temperatures; Determining the rising gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress part during the preheating process; Determining the rise-fall difference in surface temperature of the target elderly hot compress site according to the rise gradient and the fall gradient; Obtaining a preset heating temperature threshold of the hot compress device; The temperature difference constraint condition between the hot compress part and the hot compress temperature of the target elderly person is determined by the rise-fall difference of the surface temperature and the preset heating temperature threshold.

[0032] In specific implementation, collecting the surface temperature of the hot compress part after preheating can be achieved in the following manner, namely: after preheating is completed, all surface temperatures of the hot compress part of the target elderly person from the end of preheating to the normal body temperature are collected by the temperature sensor integrated in the hot compress device, wherein the normal body temperature can be collected by the temperature sensor to collect the temperature of other parts of the target elderly person, and this temperature is used as the normal body temperature; determining the decreasing gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress part of the target elderly person based on all collected surface temperatures can be achieved in the following manner, namely: arranging all collected surface temperatures in chronological order of collection time, using the arranged sequence as a temperature sequence, calculating the difference between each adjacent surface temperature in the temperature sequence, and using all the difference values ​​as the decreasing gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress part of the target elderly person, the decreasing gradient indicating the gradient of the decreasing surface temperature of the hot compress part during the preheating process; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0033] Determining the rising gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress part during the preheating process can be achieved in the following manner, namely: arranging all surface temperatures of the hot compress part during the preheating process in chronological order of collection time, using the arranged sequence as a temperature sequence, calculating the difference between each adjacent surface temperature in the temperature sequence, and using all the difference values ​​as the rising gradient of the surface temperature of the hot compress part of the target elderly person, wherein the rising gradient represents the gradient of the rising situation of the surface temperature of the hot compress part during the preheating process. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0034] In specific implementation, the rise-fall difference of the surface temperature of the target elderly hot compress area according to the rising gradient and the falling gradient can be determined in the following manner, namely: the rising rate of change of all difference values ​​in the rising gradient and the falling rate of change of all difference values ​​in the falling gradient are calculated by a simple difference method (such as first-order difference) in the prior art, wherein the rising rate of change represents a parameter of the degree of change of the surface temperature of the hot compress area when it rises, and the falling rate of change represents a parameter of the degree of change of the surface temperature of the hot compress area when it falls, and the difference between the rising rate of change and the falling rate of change is used as the rise-fall difference of the surface temperature of the target elderly hot compress area, wherein the rising-falling difference represents the difference value of the degree of change of the surface temperature of the hot compress area when it rises and when it falls; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0035] In specific implementation, the preset heating temperature threshold of the hot compress device can be obtained from the database of the hot compress device, wherein the heating temperature threshold represents the maximum heating temperature of the hot compress device when heating the hot compress part of the target elderly person; the temperature difference constraint condition between the hot compress part of the target elderly person and the hot compress temperature is determined by the rise-fall difference of the surface temperature and the preset heating temperature threshold, which can be implemented in the following way, namely: during the hot compress process, heat is transferred to the skin through heat conduction, and the rise-fall difference of the surface temperature can reflect the dynamic balance of heat absorption and loss on the skin surface, and the rise-fall difference is used as the dynamic constraint between the hot compress part and the hot compress temperature, and the average temperature of all surface temperatures of the hot compress part during the heating process is calculated, and the difference between the preset heating temperature threshold and the average temperature is used as the static constraint, and the dynamic constraint and the static constraint are used as the temperature difference constraint condition between the hot compress part of the target elderly person and the hot compress temperature; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0036] It should be noted that the temperature difference constraint condition in this application represents the constraint condition between the hot compress area and the hot compress temperature when the hot compress device heats the hot compress area, which can be used to dynamically control the heating temperature of the hot compress device, thereby avoiding damage to the hot compress area caused by excessive heating of the hot compress device.

[0037] In some embodiments, based on the temperature difference constraint and the heat conduction characteristics of the hot compress device, the uncontrolled range of the surface temperature when the hot compress device heats the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly person can be obtained by the following steps: obtaining heat conduction characteristics of the hot compress device; Determining a time delay interval for the heat compress device to transmit temperature to the hot compress area based on the heat conduction characteristics; The out-of-control range of the surface temperature when the hot compress device heats the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly person is determined according to the time delay range and the temperature difference constraint condition.

[0038] In a specific implementation, the heat conduction characteristics of the hot compress device are obtained from the database of the hot compress device, wherein the heat conduction characteristics represent the characteristics of the heat conduction of the hot compress device when performing hot compress heating on the target elderly person, and the heat conduction characteristics include the heat conduction mode, heat conduction efficiency, heat capacity and heat storage performance of the hot compress device; based on the heat conduction characteristics, the time delay interval of the hot compress device in transmitting the temperature to the hot compress part can be determined in the following way, namely: the hot compress device is simulated by using finite element analysis software, and the simulation model is trained by the heat conduction characteristics to make the simulation model close to the current The actual situation of the hot compress device is to start the simulation model. First, the time t1 when the heating element reaches the set temperature is recorded. Then, the time t2 when the heat is transferred to the skin through the heat conductive layer and the protective layer is recorded. Then, the time t3 when the skin surface reaches the stable target temperature is recorded. The interval from 0 to the sum of the above-mentioned recorded times t1, t2, and t3 is used as the time delay interval of the hot compress device when the temperature is transmitted to the hot compress part, wherein the time delay interval represents the time interval required for the hot compress device to transmit the temperature to the hot compress part; in other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which is not limited here.

[0039] In specific implementation, the following method can be used to determine the out-of-control range of the surface temperature when the hot compress device heats the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly person based on the time delay interval and the temperature difference constraint condition, namely: if the heating power is too high or the time delay is too short, the skin surface temperature will suddenly increase, causing the hot compress device to overheat and run away. The transient heat conduction model is combined with the heating power of the hot compress device and the upper limit value in the time delay interval to calculate the surface temperature of the heat-conducting layer in the hot compress device. Since the temperature response lag of the skin layer is different from that of the hot compress device, the first-order heat transfer equation can be used to combine the surface temperature of the heat-conducting layer and the temperature difference constraint condition to calculate the skin temperature of the target elderly person. For example, the calculation formula of the first-order heat transfer equation is: skin temperature = surface temperature of the heat-conducting layer * (1-e^-(heating time / temperature difference constraint condition)), the heating time It indicates the time from when the hot compress device heats the skin surface to the current calculation moment. When the skin temperature exceeds the overheating threshold, it is determined that the temperature of the skin at the hot compress site has entered the overheating runaway interval. The skin surface temperature is regulated by the hot compress device (i.e., the heating temperature of the hot compress device is lowered), and the overheating time of the skin temperature in the overheating runaway interval is recorded. When the skin temperature is lower than the low temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature of the skin at the hot compress site has entered the low temperature runaway interval. The skin surface temperature is regulated by the hot compress device (i.e., the heating temperature of the hot compress device is increased), and the low temperature time of the skin temperature in the low temperature runaway interval is recorded. The above-mentioned overheating time is used as the runaway interval of the surface temperature when the hot compress device heats the hot compress site of the target elderly person. In other embodiments, other methods can also be used for determination, which are not limited here.

[0040] It should be noted that the out-of-control interval of surface temperature in this application refers to the time interval in which the surface temperature is out of control when the hot compress device gradually heats up the target elderly hot compress area, which can be used to regulate the hot compress device in advance, thereby reducing the out-of-control interval to improve the comfort of the hot compress.

[0041] In step 104, the heating gradient of the hot compress device when performing hot compress on the target elderly person is determined by the skin stress index of the hot compress area and the out-of-control range of the surface temperature, and then the hot compress device adjusts the temperature of the hot compress area of ​​the target elderly person according to the heating gradient.

[0042] In some embodiments, determining the heating gradient of the hot compress device when applying hot compress to the target elderly person based on the skin stress index of the hot compress site and the out-of-control range of the surface temperature can be achieved by the following steps: Obtaining a preset total heating time of the hot compress device; determining a temperature control state of the hot compress device when applying hot compress to a target elderly person according to the skin stress index of the hot compress site and the out-of-control range of the surface temperature; The heating gradient of the hot compress device when performing hot compress on the target elderly person is determined by the temperature control state and the preset total heating time.

[0043] In a specific implementation, the total heating time preset by the hot compress device is obtained from the database of the hot compress device, wherein the total heating time represents the total time required for the hot compress device to perform hot compress heating on the skin surface; the temperature control state of the hot compress device when performing hot compress on the target elderly is determined according to the skin stress index of the hot compress part and the out-of-control range of the surface temperature, which can be achieved in the following manner, namely: when the skin stress index of the hot compress part is in a low stress state, it means that the hot compress part is low in sensitivity to temperature, and the hot compress device can be controlled to heat up quickly; otherwise, the hot compress device is controlled to heat up slowly, and when the surface temperature is out of control When the interval is large, the skin will be locally overheated, resulting in burns. Therefore, the hot compress device needs to be regulated in advance, and an intelligent control algorithm (such as PID / fuzzy control) is used to calculate the temperature within the upper limit of the out-of-control interval before the temperature overheating threshold is reached.
