Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical monitoring technology, specifically a post-stroke vital signs monitoring system that integrates multimodal biosensing and artificial intelligence analysis to achieve real-time quantitative assessment of neuromotor function and the risk of cerebral edema. Background Technology

[0002] Stroke, commonly known as cerebrovascular accident, is divided into two types: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. It is a disease caused by various factors that damage cerebral blood vessels, resulting in focal or systemic brain tissue damage. Stroke is characterized by high incidence, disability rate, recurrence rate, and mortality rate; ischemic stroke accounts for 75% to 90% of all strokes, while hemorrhagic stroke accounts for 10% to 25%. Men, obese individuals, and diabetic patients are considered high-risk groups.

[0003] The prevention and treatment of post-stroke complications faces severe challenges. Current clinical monitoring suffers from three major deficiencies: First, cerebral edema detection relies on intermittent CT / MRI images, posing a high risk to patient transport and resulting in an average delay of over 6 hours, causing 35% of patients to miss the golden intervention window. Second, motor function assessment still uses the Fugl-Meyer scale, which takes over 30 minutes per session and is influenced by physician subjective experience; while wearable devices can collect electromyographic signals, they lack clinical interpretability, with correlation coefficients of only 0.55-0.62. Third, cerebral edema and motor dysfunction data are fragmented; existing equipment, such as intracranial pressure monitors and rehabilitation robots, operate independently, failing to establish a pathological-neurological function correlation model. More seriously, the fragmentation of traditional monitoring methods leads to delayed clinical decision-making, with a 28% missed diagnosis rate for complications within 72 hours post-surgery. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent monitoring system that can integrate multimodal physiological parameters in real time at the bedside, possessing both millimeter-level spatial resolution and minute-level response speed, to overcome the temporal and spatial limitations of post-operative monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a post-stroke vital signs monitoring system, comprising a neuromotor function assessment wristband device, a head-mounted brain electrical impedance dynamic imaging device, a multimodal data fusion processor, and a clinical early warning terminal.

[0005] The neuromotor function assessment wristband device includes: a surface electromyography signal acquisition module, a joint motion biomechanics sensing module, and a tactile guidance module, used to acquire the patient's upper limb electromyographic activity parameters and finger movement trajectory data in real time; wherein the surface electromyography signal acquisition module adopts a multi-channel microneedle dry electrode array, and the electrode spacing is configured to cover the anatomical area of ​​the forearm flexor muscle group; the joint motion biomechanics sensing module includes piezoresistive sensors distributed in the metacarpophalangeal joints and interphalangeal joints;

[0006] The head-mounted brain electrical impedance dynamic imaging device includes a multi-ring distributed electrode array, a precision current excitation source, and a boundary voltage measurement circuit, which is used to dynamically reconstruct the spatial distribution of brain tissue conductivity.

[0007] The multimodal data fusion processor performs quantitative scoring of motor function and determination of cerebral edema risk level by synchronizing data streams from the wristband device and the head-mounted electroencephalogram device in time.

[0008] The clinical early warning terminal receives the analysis results and generates multi-level alarm signals.

[0009] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the neuromotor function assessment wristband device further includes a signal conditioning unit, an embedded control unit, and a wireless transmission unit; the signal conditioning unit uses a high input impedance amplifier as a preamplifier after a multi-channel microneedle dry electrode array, and the subsequent stage is connected to a programmable gain amplifier and a high-precision analog-to-digital converter to acquire the patient's upper limb electrophysiological activity parameters; the mechanical sensing channel is equipped with a constant voltage source circuit, and the mechanical parameters are inverted by measuring the resistance change of the piezoresistive sensor, and the conversion formula is:

[0010] ;

[0011] Where F represents the force on the joint; R represents the real-time resistance value of the piezoresistive sensor. The zero-force reference resistance value is represented; k represents the material property constant; the embedded control unit performs real-time kinematic modeling and feature extraction; the wireless transmission unit uses a low-latency wireless protocol to transmit data.

[0012] Furthermore, in some implementations, the quantitative scoring of motor function includes the following steps: calculating the fingertip spatial coordinates based on a kinematic chain model; the input feature vector of the motor function scoring model includes electromyographic time-domain features, electromyographic frequency-domain features, joint angle values, and grip strength change rate; and outputting a standardized score through a multi-layer neural network to obtain the motor function score, specifically including:

[0014] ;

[0015] in This represents the discrete sampled values ​​of the electromyographic signal, where N represents the number of sampling points within the window;

[0016] Electromyography frequency domain feature extraction: The power spectral density is calculated by fast Fourier transform, and the median frequency MF is solved;

[0020] Grip force dynamic feature extraction: Calculation of grip force change rate: ;

[0021] Indicates the maximum grip strength during the task period. Indicates the minimum grip strength, Indicates the duration of the task;

[0022] The following features were combined into an input vector: MAV, ZC, MF values ​​of 8-channel electromyography, angles of 5 metacarpophalangeal joints, angles of 8 interphalangeal joints, trajectory smoothness, and grip strength change rate.

[0023] The feature vectors are input into a three-layer fully connected neural network. The network structure is as follows:

[0024] Input layer: 39 nodes;

[0025] Hidden layer 1: 64 nodes, activation function is ReLU;

[0026] Dropout layer: Drop rate 20%;

[0027] Hidden layer 2: 32 nodes, activation function is ReLU;

[0028] Output layer: 1 node, linear activation;

[0029] The neural network outputs a continuous score from 0 to 100, which is linearly correlated with the total score of the clinical Fugl-Meyer scale. The neural network score is then mapped to the standard Fugl-Meyer action score.

[0030] The neural network scoring interval [90, 100] corresponds to a Fugl-Meyer motion score of 2 points, with the criteria being joint angle error < 5° and trajectory smoothness < 0.5; the neural network scoring interval [80, 90) corresponds to a Fugl-Meyer motion score of 1 point, with the criteria being joint angle error 5°-15° or smoothness 0.5-1.0; the neural network scoring interval [0, 80) corresponds to a Fugl-Meyer motion score of 0 points, with the criteria being joint angle error > 15° or smoothness > 1.0.

[0031] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the head-mounted electroencephalogram (EEG) device specifically includes a current excitation module, a voltage detection module, and a control logic module; the current excitation module uses a current pump topology to output a sinusoidal current of a specific frequency; the voltage detection module includes an amplifier, a bandpass filter, a synchronous demodulator, and a low-pass filter; the control logic module performs multi-electrode scanning to achieve high-frequency data acquisition.

[0032] Furthermore, in some implementations, electrical impedance image reconstruction specifically involves: constructing a three-dimensional head model based on medical imaging data; and using a scattering transform algorithm to solve for the conductivity distribution.

[0033]

[0034] Where k represents the space wavenumber vector; The Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping representing the actual conductivity distribution; ψ represents a uniform conductivity mapping; ψ represents a characteristic function.

[0035] Furthermore, in some implementations, time synchronization is achieved by the following methods: the two devices share a high-precision clock source; the imaging device generates an electrical pulse trigger signal at the start of each frame of data acquisition; and the wristband device records a precise timestamp through an interrupt mechanism to establish a data acquisition time window.

[0036] Furthermore, in some implementations, the cerebral edema risk warning model specifically involves: extracting global impedance change rate, spatial gradient entropy, and left-right hemisphere asymmetry features from the electrical impedance distribution map; and using a multi-level decision tree architecture risk warning model for early warning.

[0037] Furthermore, in some implementations, the global impedance change rate ΔZ, spatial gradient entropy SGE, and left-right hemisphere asymmetry Asymmetry are calculated as follows:

[0038] ;

[0039] Where N represents the total number of pixels in the electrical impedance distribution map; This represents the conductivity value of the i-th pixel at time t; This indicates the baseline electrical conductivity value after surgery;

[0040] ;

[0041] Where M represents the number of gradient direction partitions; This represents the gradient magnitude within the j-th partition and its proportion of the global gradient energy; the gradient magnitude is calculated using the Sobel operator:

[0042] ;

[0043] ;

[0044] in This represents the average conductivity of the left hemisphere; This indicates the average electrical conductivity of the right hemisphere; the division of the hemispheres is based on the sagittal suture of the brain.

[0045] Furthermore, in some implementations, the risk warning model employs a multi-level decision tree architecture:

[0046] First-level decision: If ΔZ > α, proceed to the second-level decision; otherwise, output a safe state.

[0047] Second-level judgment: If Asym ≤ γ and SGE ≤ β, a low-risk alarm is triggered; if Asym > γ and SGE ≤ β, a medium-risk alarm is triggered; if SGE > β, a high-risk alarm is triggered.

[0048] Level 3 judgment: When ΔZ > δ and the motor function score decreases by more than η within 24 hours, a comprehensive risk alarm is triggered;

[0049] Where α, β, γ, δ, and η are clinically validated thresholds, and δ > α and β·γ > 1.

[0050] Furthermore, in some implementations, a baseline adaptive update module is included:

[0051] Initial baseline Established during the 24-hour stable period post-surgery;

[0052] Baseline calibration is performed automatically every morning at midnight:

[0053] ;

[0054] in The average conductivity at rest during the night; Forgetting factor;

[0055] When device displacement is detected, real-time baseline recalibration is triggered:

[0056] ;

[0057] If the shift index If the threshold θ is exceeded, the warning will be suspended and the electrode contact inspection process will be initiated.

[0058] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0059] This invention innovatively integrates a neuromotor function assessment wristband with head-mounted impedance dynamic imaging, achieving three major breakthroughs:

[0060] First, by using a 39-dimensional feature vector that includes electromyographic time-frequency domain parameters, joint kinematics, and grip dynamics to drive neural network scoring, the Fugl-Meyer assessment is made more objective and continuous, the correlation between the score and the gold standard is improved, the time for a single assessment is reduced from 30 minutes to a few seconds, and it is accurately mapped to clinical movement scores, thus solving the problem of rehabilitation quantification.

[0061] Secondly, the improved D-bar algorithm was used to reconstruct the brain impedance distribution map, with a spatial resolution of up to 8mm. Combined with the impedance change rate ΔZ, spatial gradient entropy SGE, and hemispherical asymmetry Asym multi-parameter decision tree, the sensitivity of cerebral edema detection was improved compared with CT, and the warning time was several hours earlier on average than traditional imaging.

[0062] Most importantly, the first dynamic correlation model between "decline in motor score and progression of edema" was established. A comprehensive alarm is triggered when ΔZ > 0.15 and the decline in motor score > 20% within 24 hours, improving the detection rate of neurological function deterioration. Clinical validation shows that this system reduces disability rates and unnecessary ICU transfers. In addition, flexible microneedle electrodes and adaptive baseline calibration technology further reduce false alarms, providing a precise tool for post-stroke monitoring.
