Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hand diagnosis and treatment technology, and in particular to a multimodal hand feature scanner. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hand diagnosis is a special diagnostic method that uses observation of the hands to understand a person's health or disease condition. It is part of TCM's observational diagnosis and is simple and intuitive, capable of obtaining approximately 80% of a person's health information visually. Guided by basic TCM theories, clinical diagnosis is made by observing the color, muscles, veins, shape, and nails of the hands, as well as sensing temperature and sweating. This can assist in the diagnosis of certain diseases and can also be used for early prevention and diagnosis.

[0003] Currently, there are no instruments available for TCM hand diagnosis. Most methods collect hand condition information through planar photography, quantum analysis, and acupoint analysis. The collected diagnostic information is relatively flat and cannot guarantee comprehensive, multi-angle collection. Furthermore, relying solely on planar photography to analyze hand texture information results in low analytical accuracy. Therefore, this application proposes a multimodal hand feature scanner that analyzes and collects hand condition information from five dimensions: color, shape, texture, region, and temperature. This scanner ensures comprehensive, multi-angle collection and high analytical accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a multimodal hand feature scanner that uses a microprocessor, hand scanning unit, infrared sensor, etc. to analyze and collect hand status information from five dimensions: hand color, shape, texture, area, and temperature. This allows for a more comprehensive and multi-angle collection of the patient's hand status information.

[0005] This application provides a multimodal hand feature scanner, including a housing, with an end cap detachably connected to the upper side of the housing by pressing or bolting; and a through-hole is provided on the rear end face of the housing, on which a protective cover can be detachably attached.

[0006] The end cap is further equipped with a patient status display unit, a medical status input unit, and a hand scanning unit;

[0007] The patient status display unit is used to display the diagnostic status of the patient's hand, and can be either an LCD screen or a light-emitting diode screen;

[0008] The medical status input unit is used for inputting patients' personal information. A touch screen can be selected, and patients' personal information can be input through the operation of the touch screen.

[0009] The hand scanning unit is used to scan and photograph the patient's hand. An infrared camera can be used to scan and photograph the patient's hand.

[0010] Furthermore, an infrared temperature scanning area is provided on the front side of the housing, which can be equipped with an infrared sensor.

[0011] Further infrared sensors can be thermopile sensors or microbolo thermal detectors.

[0012] Furthermore, a microprocessor and a diagnostic report output unit are integrated within the housing;

[0013] The microprocessor is used for hand image information processing and data analysis; the NVIDIA Jestson series can be selected.

[0014] The diagnostic report output unit is used to print out the diagnostic report information of the patient's hand, and a printer can be selected.

[0015] The microprocessor is further electrically connected via wires to the patient status display unit, medical status input unit, hand scanning unit, infrared sensor, and diagnostic report output unit, respectively.

[0016] The casing also houses a battery unit, which is either a rechargeable lithium battery or a refrigerated battery, and is electrically connected to the microprocessor via wires.

[0017] The housing has additional pre-drilled holes for connecting the battery cell to an external power source.

[0018] The end cap is also equipped with a control switch, which is electrically connected to the battery cell via a wire.

[0019] Further, a diagnostic report output port is reserved on the right side of the body.

[0020] The one or more technical solutions provided in this application embodiment have at least the following technical effects or advantages: When the scanner is powered on and in normal working condition, it is turned on via a control switch. Staff first input the patient's personal information through the medical status input unit. The patient can first place their hand in front of the infrared temperature scanning area for hand temperature measurement. The measured temperature is transmitted to the microprocessor via an infrared sensor. Then, the patient places their hand (usually the palm) at the hand scanning unit, and an infrared camera scans and photographs the patient's hand. The image is then transmitted to the microprocessor for image analysis. The microprocessor transmits the analysis results to the patient status display unit for display, and simultaneously to the diagnostic report output unit to print the patient's hand diagnosis report. The diagnostic report can be retrieved from the diagnostic report output port. This application's scanner utilizes a microprocessor, hand scanning unit, and infrared sensor to analyze and collect hand status information from five dimensions: hand color, shape, texture, area, and temperature. This allows for comprehensive and multi-angle collection of patient hand status information, and the intelligent operation effectively improves analysis accuracy. Furthermore, the user interface is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to operate, ensuring a smooth user experience. Attached Figure Description
