[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increase in the number of pets, pet health assessment is becoming increasingly important. As an effective health monitoring method, ultra-high heart rate anomaly detection of pets is gradually becoming an important part of pet medical care. Rapid heart rate may be a signal of potential illness in pets, such as heart disease, respiratory problems, or emotional anxiety. Through wearable devices or specialized detection instruments, the heart rate changes of pets can be monitored in real time, and abnormalities can be detected in time. In the case of ultra-high heart rate, the owner can take intervention measures earlier to avoid the disease from getting worse.

[0003] However, the existing technology has obvious defects in detecting ultra-high heart rate anomalies of pets.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide an ultra-high heart rate anomaly detection method based on real-time signal processing, including the following steps:

[0029] Step 1, real-time acquisition of multi-modal physiological signals, including PPG heart rate signals, three-axis acceleration signals and skin temperature signals, to construct a real-time data stream, wherein the acquisition frequency of the multi-modal physiological signals is: PPG signal 100 Hz, three-axis acceleration signal 50 Hz, and skin temperature signal 1 Hz, and local real-time processing is realized through edge computing, with a delay of ≤100 ms.

[0030] In step 1, the PPG heart rate signal adopts the photoplethysmography method, a green LED light source is used to irradiate the pet skin (preferably the neck, chest and other areas with thin hair), the absorption change of hemoglobin in blood to light is used to capture the blood vessel pulsation, and the heart rate change is directly reflected, a 100 Hz acquisition frequency is selected, covering the common heart rate range of pets (such as the resting heart rate of small dogs 60-140 times / min, up to 240 times / min when exercising, corresponding to a frequency of 1-4 Hz), to ensure that the waveform details of each heartbeat are captured.

[0031] The three-axis acceleration signal acquires X, Y and Z three-axis motion data through a MEMS acceleration sensor, and a frequency of 50 Hz is sufficient to depict the dynamic behaviors of pets such as running, jumping and rolling, and is used to distinguish between motion state and resting state.

[0032] Skin temperature signal: the core body temperature of the pet is related to the heart rate, and a 1 Hz acquisition frequency can reflect the temperature trend, which helps to exclude heart rate abnormalities caused by infectious diseases.

[0033] Step 2, pre-processing of the real-time data stream, including band-pass filtering and noise reduction, motion artifact removal and signal standardization, to obtain clean signals.

[0034] Specifically, the motion artifact removal adopts an adaptive Kalman filter algorithm, and the formula is:

[0035]

[0036] wherein, is the filtered signal, z k is the original PPG signal, K kis the Kalman gain, H is the observation matrix.

[0037] Further, since the original PPG signal is easily affected by artifacts during pet movement, Kalman filtering is used to correct the signal, and the specific formula and algorithm are as follows:

[0038]

[0039] wherein, represents the estimated value, P(k) is the estimated error covariance, A and B are system matrices, Q is the process noise covariance, the motion intensity is calculated in real time through the three-axis acceleration signal, and the process noise covariance Q is dynamically adjusted (Q increases when the motion intensity increases, allowing greater state changes), ensuring the artifact removal effect.

[0040] Step 3, multi-time scale feature extraction is performed on the preprocessed PPG signal, the time scales include instantaneous features, short-term features and trend features, the extracted features include peak interval, heart rate variability, waveform slope and instantaneous heart rate change rate, and the calculation formula of the instantaneous heart rate change rate is:

[0041]

[0042] wherein, HR(t) is the instantaneous heart rate at time t.

[0043] Specifically, the extraction of multi-time scale features covers instantaneous features, short-term features and trend features, the time scales, types and physiological meanings of each feature are shown in the following table:

[0044]

[0045]

[0046] Through the combination of the above multi-time scale features, the differences of super high heart rate in instantaneous fluctuation, short-term stability and long-term change trend can be fully described.

[0047] Step 4, the activity intensity is calculated based on the three-axis acceleration signal, the pet state vector is constructed combining with the skin temperature signal, and the feature weight is dynamically adjusted, the pet state vector includes activity intensity, body temperature deviation and resting heart rate deviation, and is standardized through the following formula:

[0048]

[0049] wherein, A(t) is the acceleration module value at time t, T0 is the baseline body temperature, HR base is the mean value of the pet's historical resting heart rate.

[0050] Step 5, input the multi-scale features into the improved attention mechanism neural network, output the preliminary classification results and confidence of the super high heart rate.

[0051] Wherein, the improved attention mechanism neural network contains 3 parallel attention heads, corresponding to 0.1s, 1s, 5s time scales respectively, and the attention weight is dynamically adjusted by the pet state vector, and the calculation formula is:

[0052] s=Softmax(W s ·S+b s ) (Formula 5);

[0053] Wherein, a s is the weight of the s th time scale, W s , b s are training parameters, Softmax activation function is adopted, and the probability and confidence of "physiological" and "pathological" two categories are output.

[0054] Step 6, using support vector machine to classify the multi-scale features again, combining the confidence of step 5 to get the final classification result through the posterior probability fusion algorithm, and the formula of the posterior probability fusion algorithm is:

[0055] P(C) = ω1·P NN (C) + ω2·P SVM (C) (Formula 6);

[0056] Wherein, P(C) is the final classification probability, and C is "pathological" or "physiological", when P(C) > 0.5, it is determined as "pathological", P NN , P SVM are the output probability of neural network and support vector machine respectively, ω1, ω2 are the dynamic weight based on confidence.

[0057] Step 7, based on the pet historical health data and the current activity intensity, the threshold of super high heart rate anomaly is dynamically adjusted, if the final classification result is pathological and exceeds the threshold, real-time warning is triggered.

[0058] Further, in step 7, the dynamic threshold is updated by the following formula:

[0059] Th(t) = Th0·(1+β·A(t)) (Formula 7);

[0060] Wherein, Th0 is the baseline threshold of pet, β is the activity influence coefficient, and A(t) is the current activity intensity.

[0061] According to the duration of heart rate anomaly, different levels of warning are set, wherein, the real-time warning contains grading mechanism:

[0062] Primary warning: When the pathological high heart rate duration is less than 5 seconds, the device locally issues a vibration reminder;

[0063] Secondary warning: When the pathological high heart rate duration is greater than or equal to 5 seconds and less than 30 seconds, the vibration reminder pushes the warning information to the user's mobile phone APP at the same time;

[0064] Tertiary warning: When the pathological high heart rate duration is greater than or equal to 30 seconds, the emergency contact call is triggered + the positioning information is pushed, and the medical auxiliary data containing the heart rate waveform is sent synchronously, through real-time monitoring of the physiological signal changes of the pet, combining historical health data and current activity intensity, dynamically adjusting the heart rate threshold and judgment standard, to ensure timely response to abnormal heart rate conditions.

[0065] In summary: the abnormal detection method of high heart rate based on real-time signal processing proposed in the application, through the use of multi-modal physiological signal fusion strategy, synchronously collects PPG heart rate signal, three-axis acceleration signal and skin temperature signal, realizes local low-delay processing combined with edge computing, lays a data foundation for real-time detection, in the preprocessing stage, through band-pass filtering, adaptive Kalman filtering and standardization processing, effectively purifies the signal, ensures the accuracy of subsequent feature extraction; multi-time scale feature extraction covers instantaneous, short-term and trend features, fully captures the details and rules of heart rate fluctuations.

[0066] In addition, by introducing the pet state vector (including activity intensity, body temperature deviation degree, etc.), the feature weight is dynamically adjusted, so that the model is more suitable for the individual state difference of the pet, the improved attention mechanism neural network and support vector machine are used in the classification link, the posterior probability fusion algorithm is combined to improve the classification accuracy, effectively distinguishing between physiological and pathological high heart rate, the dynamic threshold mechanism is based on historical data and current activity intensity to update the judgment standard in real time, avoiding the limitations of fixed threshold, and the hierarchical warning mechanism matches the response intensity according to the duration of the abnormality, taking into account timeliness and rationality.

[0067] The whole process optimization from signal processing, feature extraction to classification decision in the application not only solves the problems of high false alarm rate and insufficient timeliness in the prior art, but also provides an efficient and reliable detection process for pet health monitoring through personalized dynamic adjustment and low-delay processing, which has important practical significance for early detection of potential diseases in pets and reduction of health risks.

Although embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the application, and the scope of the application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
