Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wearable device technology, specifically a wearable smart brooch for accurate assessment of environmental temperature and humidity. Background Technology

[0002] Ambient temperature and humidity are important meteorological factors affecting human health, including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, and injuries. In the field of environment and health, current assessments of individual health risks caused by ambient temperature and humidity primarily rely on an individual's place of residence, combined with outdoor temperature and humidity monitoring data or grid data to determine exposure. Then, the degree of exposure to ambient temperature and humidity is used to determine the risk level of different health outcomes. However, individuals are mobile, not stationary, and assessments based on fixed locations can lead to significant biases. Secondly, individuals' primary activity areas are indoors, and relying solely on outdoor temperature and humidity monitoring data or grid data can result in inaccurate assessments. Thirdly, the health risks of indoor and outdoor environments at the same temperature and humidity differ; failure to differentiate between indoor and outdoor exposures can lead to errors in subsequent health risk assessments. Therefore, to meet the needs of accurate exposure assessment, equipment must simultaneously possess functions such as temperature and humidity monitoring, location tracking, indoor and outdoor environment identification, and data storage.

[0003] Currently, there are many devices on the market for real-time temperature and humidity monitoring, but most are for home use and are fixed in place. Wearable devices are less common. These devices are typically attached to a sleeve, belt, or backpack, exposing the temperature and humidity probes to the environment and recording data at pre-set time intervals, such as 5 minutes or 10 minutes. However, these real-time temperature and humidity monitoring devices only record real-time temperature and humidity values; they fail to record individual movement patterns, cannot distinguish between indoor and outdoor environments, and cannot provide the environmental temperature and humidity exposure information needed for health risk assessment.

[0004] Wearable devices used for tracking activity are primarily smart bracelets and smartwatches. The casings of smart bracelets and smartwatches are mostly made of rubber or plastic, with a certain degree of flexibility to fit the wrist. Internally, they house accelerometers, heart rate sensors, and low-power Bluetooth modules. In terms of component connections, the sensors are connected to the main chip via flexible circuit boards. The main chip handles data processing and command transmission, while the battery powers the entire system. The components are closely arranged in a long, narrow layout to fit the shape of the wrist. While smart bracelets and smartwatches perform well in outdoor positioning, they cannot distinguish between outdoor and indoor environments, and their GPS positioning accuracy is poor in complex indoor environments. Furthermore, since smart bracelets or smartwatches are worn on the wrist, they are easily obscured by clothing, which limits their expandability.

[0005] Regarding indoor and outdoor environment recognition, only one smart badge (patent number: CN308912755S) can be used to monitor UV intensity in real time, record the wearer's daily outdoor activity time, and push this data to WeChat daily. Currently, indoor and outdoor activities are mostly recorded through surveys, where individuals recall their indoor and outdoor activity times over a period of time (usually one day or one week), and the total recorded duration must match the total duration within a defined period. However, data based on individual recall has many limitations, such as memory fuzziness and forgotten details. It is usually recorded on a large time scale, such as the duration of outdoor activity each day or half-day, often resulting in significant discrepancies. The smart badge, which identifies the outdoor environment and records activity duration based on UV intensity, to some extent compensates for the shortcomings of recall-based recording. However, the smart badge can only record outdoor activity time and cannot identify activity trajectories; the lack of location information is detrimental to accurately assessing an individual's environmental exposure. Furthermore, using only UV intensity to identify the outdoor environment may be biased. Utility Model Content
