Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical care equipment, and in particular to an integrated intelligent device for postoperative care of cleft lip and palate. Background Technology

[0002] Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital malformation of the oral and maxillofacial region, severely affecting patients' facial aesthetics, sucking, swallowing, and speech functions. Currently, surgery is the primary treatment for cleft lip and palate, but postoperative care plays a crucial role in patient recovery. Traditional postoperative care for cleft lip and palate relies on manual intervention; nurses need to regularly check the patient's wound and record vital signs. This method is not only labor-intensive but also prone to delays in monitoring. For example, abnormalities such as wound bleeding or fever may be difficult to detect in time, potentially delaying treatment. Regarding feeding, there is a lack of scientific and precise guidance; parents often rely on experience, which can easily lead to improper feeding and hinder recovery.

[0003] Existing nursing equipment is limited in function and lacks integrated design, making it impossible to comprehensively monitor wound healing, physiological indicators, and dietary status simultaneously. For example, traditional dental examination equipment can only provide single images or data and cannot work in conjunction with other monitoring devices, forcing medical staff to frequently switch between different devices, resulting in low work efficiency. Furthermore, traditional equipment lacks telemedicine support capabilities, making it difficult for doctors to understand patients' recovery status in real time and adjust treatment plans promptly, especially for patients in remote areas where access to medical care is inconvenient.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional feeding tools do not take into account the unique oral structure of patients with cleft lip and palate, which can easily irritate the wound and increase the risk of infection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated and intelligent nursing device to solve the problems existing in current technologies. Utility Model Content

In addition, the intelligent spoon is designed to be user-friendly, and the components are replaceable to meet personalized needs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an integrated intelligent device for postoperative care of cleft lip and palate, comprising a main unit and replaceable wound healing detection components, an intelligent ring, and an intelligent spoon.

[0055] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0056] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes an integrated intelligent device for postoperative care of cleft lip and palate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] like Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, an integrated intelligent device for postoperative care of cleft lip and palate according to an embodiment of this utility model includes a main unit 1, which serves as the core control and data processing unit of the entire device. A replacement interface 11 is provided at the bottom of the main unit 1. The digital oral scanner 21, pH meter 22, thermometer 23, and oral endoscope 24 in the wound healing detection component 2 are all physically connected to the main unit 1 through this replacement interface 11. This replaceable connection method allows for convenient and quick replacement of components when malfunctions or different detection needs arise, improving the practicality and flexibility of the device.

[0058] As can be understood, the digital oral scanner 21 works during a patient's oral scan, scanning the internal structure of the patient's mouth and collecting relevant images and data. This data is then transmitted to the host computer 1 via a communication connection. The host computer 1 analyzes and processes the data, allowing medical personnel to obtain detailed results of the oral scan to understand the healing progress of the patient's oral wounds.

[0059] pH meter 22: The pH meter 22 analyzes the patient's saliva sample to detect the pH value of the saliva. The detected pH value data is transmitted to the host 1 in real time via a communication connection. The host 1 stores and analyzes the data, and medical staff can use this data to determine whether the acid-base environment in the patient's oral cavity is normal, and thus take appropriate nursing measures.

[0060] Thermometer 23: Thermometer 23 is responsible for real-time monitoring of temperature changes in the patient's surgical area. It continuously collects temperature data and transmits this data to host computer 1. Host computer 1 monitors and analyzes the temperature data, and will promptly issue an alert if abnormal temperature fluctuations occur, reminding medical staff to pay attention to whether there are any problems such as infection in the patient's surgical area.

[0061] Oral endoscope 24: The oral endoscope 24 can penetrate deep into the patient's oral cavity and use its internal microscopic camera 241 to capture detailed images of the oral cavity. These image data are transmitted to the host 1 via a communication connection, and medical staff can clearly view the condition inside the oral cavity on the display screen 12 of the host 1, including the healing status of wounds, whether there is inflammation, etc.

[0062] Smart Ring 3: The smart ring 3 is worn on the patient's finger. Its internal photoplethysmography sensor 31 monitors the patient's heart rate and blood oxygen saturation in real time. The monitored data is first transmitted to the microcontroller unit 32 for preliminary processing, and then sent to the host unit 1 via a communication connection. The host unit 1 analyzes and records these physiological indicators, providing medical staff with information about the patient's physical condition.

[0063] Smart Spoon 4: The smart spoon 4 plays a role during the patient's mealtime. Its internal temperature sensor 42 can detect the temperature of the food, and the weight sensor 43 can measure the weight of the food consumed by the patient. This data is transmitted to the host unit 1 via a communication connection, allowing medical staff to understand the patient's dietary situation and provide scientific and reasonable dietary advice.

[0064] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the oral endoscope 24 has a slender tubular structure, a design that facilitates deep insertion into the patient's oral cavity for comprehensive observation of the surgical area. Inside this tubular structure, a microscope camera 241 and a bulb 242 are installed, and the tubular structure is encased in a waterproof material. This waterproof encasing material effectively prevents saliva, liquids, and other substances from entering the tubular structure, thus protecting the internal microscope camera 241 and bulb 242, ensuring their normal operation, and also extending the service life of the oral endoscope 24.

[0065] The startup phase, as understood, involves the following steps: When medical personnel need to use the oral endoscope 24 to examine a patient's oral cavity, the entire device is first activated. After startup, the main unit 1 sends a power supply signal to the bulb 242 via an electrical connection, powering the bulb 242 and causing it to emit light. The light emitted by the bulb 242 illuminates the surgical area inside the patient's oral cavity, providing sufficient illumination for the microscope camera 241 to capture clear images.

[0066] Image acquisition phase: After the bulb 242 illuminates the inside of the oral cavity, the host 1 sends a start signal to the microscope camera 241, activating the microscope camera 241. The microscope camera 241 begins acquiring images of the surgical area inside the oral cavity, capturing detailed information such as the fine structures inside the oral cavity and the wound healing process. During the acquisition process, the microscope camera 241 transmits the captured image data to the host 1 in real time via an electrical connection.

[0067] Data Processing and Display Stage: After receiving the image data transmitted by the microscope camera 241, the host 1 processes and analyzes this data. Upon completion, the host 1 displays the processed image on its screen 12. Medical staff can then visually observe the condition inside the patient's oral cavity through the screen 12, including the degree of wound healing, the presence of inflammation, and any abnormal tissue. Based on the observed image information, medical staff assess and diagnose the patient's condition and subsequently develop appropriate nursing and treatment plans.

[0068] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the digital dental scanner 21 mainly consists of an imaging component 211, a scanning component 212, and a data processing unit 213. The imaging component 211 employs a CMOS optical sensor, which has advantages such as high sensitivity and low noise, enabling it to accurately capture image information. The scanning component 212 is a laser emitter that emits a laser beam to scan the inside of the oral cavity. The data processing unit 213 is electrically connected to the host 1 and is responsible for preliminary data processing and data transmission with the host 1.

[0069] In this context, it can be understood that during the startup preparation phase: after the host 1 is powered on, it sends a startup signal to the data processing unit 213 of the digital dental scanner 21 via an electrical connection. Upon receiving the signal, the data processing unit 213 initializes the imaging component 211 and the scanning component 212 to prepare for subsequent scanning operations.

[0070] Scanning Phase: The data processing unit 213 controls the scanning component 212, i.e., the laser emitter, to emit a laser beam. The laser beam is directed towards the inside of the patient's oral cavity, scanning areas such as teeth, gums, and surgical wounds. During the scanning process, different parts of the oral cavity reflect the laser light differently, and the imaging component 211, i.e., the CMOS optical sensor, captures these reflected light signals. Due to its high sensitivity, the CMOS optical sensor can accurately convert the reflected light signals into electrical signals, thereby acquiring image data of the oral cavity.

[0071] Preliminary data processing stage: Imaging component 211 transmits the acquired image data in the form of electrical signals to data processing unit 213. Data processing unit 213 performs preliminary processing on these raw image data, such as removing noise interference and enhancing the image to improve image quality and clarity. After preliminary processing, the image data is easier to analyze and interpret.

[0072] Data transmission and analysis phase: The data processing unit 213 transmits the pre-processed image data to the host 1 via an electrical connection. Upon receiving the data, the host 1 performs further in-depth analysis and processing. The host 1 can reconstruct the image data in three dimensions, generating a three-dimensional model of the patient's oral cavity. Medical staff can then visually observe the internal structure of the oral cavity and the healing status of the surgical wound through the display screen 12 of the host 1. Based on the observed results, medical staff assess the patient's recovery status and develop corresponding nursing and treatment plans.

[0073] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the pH meter 22 is used to analyze the patient's saliva sample and detect the pH value of the saliva. The pH meter 22 is electrically connected to the host 1.

[0074] Understandably, healthcare professionals assist patients in collecting saliva samples, placing an appropriate amount of saliva into the detection area of ​​the pH meter 22. This area is equipped with a dedicated pH sensor that ensures full contact with the saliva sample for subsequent testing.

[0075] After the sensor in the detection area of ​​the pH meter 22 comes into contact with the saliva sample, the sensor senses the change in ion concentration in the sample and converts this change into an electrical signal. The internal circuitry of the pH meter 22 performs preliminary processing on these electrical signals and converts them into corresponding pH value data using a specific algorithm.

[0076] After the pH meter 22 completes the detection of the pH value of the saliva sample and obtains the specific data, it transmits the detected pH value data to the host 1 through an electrical connection.

[0077] After receiving the pH value data transmitted by the pH meter 22, the host 1 processes and analyzes it further. The host 1 compares the currently detected pH value with a preset normal range to determine if the acid-base environment of the patient's oral saliva is normal. If the detected value exceeds the normal range, the host 1 may issue a corresponding prompt or alarm. After processing, the host 1 displays the pH value data and analysis results on its display screen 12, allowing medical staff to intuitively understand the pH value in the patient's oral cavity.

[0078] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, thermometer 23 is a DS18B20 conductor temperature sensor. Thermometer 23 is electrically connected to host 1 and is used to monitor the temperature changes in the surgical area in real time.

[0079] Understandably, the DS18B20 sensor in thermometer 23 begins real-time monitoring of the surgical area's temperature. The sensor places its sensing head near the surgical area (the specific placement can be determined based on actual clinical needs and equipment design). When the temperature of the surgical area changes, the resistance value of the thermistor inside the sensor changes accordingly. For example, if the temperature of the surgical area rises due to infection or other reasons, the thermistor's resistance value will change accordingly, generating a temperature-related electrical signal.

[0080] The DS18B20 sensor processes the electrical signals generated by temperature changes. It integrates an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit, which converts analog electrical signals into digital signals. This facilitates signal transmission and processing, and reduces interference during transmission. The converted digital signal represents the current temperature value of the surgical area.

[0081] The processed temperature data is sent to host 1 via an electrical connection. During transmission, the data is encoded and transmitted according to a specific communication protocol to ensure its accuracy and integrity. After receiving the temperature data sent by thermometer 23, the interface circuit of host 1 transmits it to the internal processor of host 1 for further processing.

[0082] After receiving the temperature data, host 1 analyzes and processes it. It compares the current temperature value with a preset normal temperature range to determine if the temperature of the surgical area is normal. If the temperature exceeds the normal range, host 1 may trigger an alarm to alert medical staff. Simultaneously, host 1 stores the temperature data in its internal storage for later retrieval and analysis. Furthermore, host 1 displays the temperature data on display screen 12, allowing medical staff to visually observe the real-time temperature changes in the surgical area.

[0083] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the smart ring 3 includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor 31, a microcontroller unit 32, and a memory 33. The PPG sensor 31 is used to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. The microcontroller unit 32 is electrically connected to the PPG sensor 31, the memory 33, and the host 1, respectively.

[0084] Understandably, the patient wears the smart ring 3 on their finger. When the host 1 is turned on, it sends a start signal to the smart ring 3. Upon receiving the start signal, the microcontroller unit 32 initializes the various components inside the smart ring 3, putting the photoplethysmography sensor 31, memory 33, and other components into a ready-to-operate state.

[0085] Physiological Data Acquisition: The photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor 31 begins operation, its working principle being based on PPG. A green LED within the PPG sensor 31 emits light towards the finger; this light passes through the skin tissue and is received by a photodiode. Because the blood volume in arteries changes during cardiac contraction and relaxation, the degree of light absorption and reflection varies, causing a corresponding change in the intensity of the light signal received by the photodiode. The PPG sensor 31 converts this change in light signal into electrical signals, which contain information about the patient's heart rate and blood oxygen saturation.

[0086] Preliminary data processing: The electrical signals acquired by the photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor 31 are transmitted to the microcontroller unit 32. The microcontroller unit 32 performs preliminary processing on these raw electrical signals, removing noise interference, amplifying useful signals, and converting analog signals into digital signals using specific algorithms. After processing, the microcontroller unit 32 can extract accurate heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data from the digital signals.

[0087] Data storage: The processed heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data are stored in memory 33 by the microcontroller unit 32. Memory 33 is used to store physiological data over a period of time for subsequent retrieval and analysis. This not only helps medical staff understand the trend of changes in the patient's physiological indicators over a period of time, but also serves as a backup in case of data transmission problems, ensuring data integrity.

[0088] Data transmission: The microcontroller unit 32 sends the processed heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data stored in the memory 33 to the host 1 via an electrical connection. During transmission, the data is packaged and transmitted according to a specific communication protocol to ensure data accuracy and stability.

[0089] Data Reception and Processing: After receiving the data sent by the smart ring 3, the host 1 performs further analysis and processing. The host 1 compares the real-time monitored heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data with preset normal ranges. If the data exceeds the normal range, the host 1 triggers a corresponding alarm mechanism to remind medical staff to pay attention to the patient's physiological condition. Simultaneously, the host 1 integrates this data into the patient's overall medical record, providing medical staff with a comprehensive basis for assessing the patient's postoperative recovery.

[0090] Continuous monitoring and termination: The Smart Ring 3 continuously collects, processes, stores, and transmits physiological data to achieve real-time dynamic monitoring of the patient's heart rate and blood oxygen saturation.

[0091] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the smart spoon 4 includes a spoon body 41. The edges of the spoon body 41 are made of soft silicone material, and the lower end is provided with an interface for connecting to the oral endoscope 24. The spoon body 41 is provided with a temperature sensor 42 and a weight sensor 43, which are electrically connected to the host 1.

[0092] As can be understood, when preparing to feed the patient, food is placed into the spoon body 41. The soft silicone material used on the edge of the spoon body 41 avoids irritating the wound when it comes into contact with the patient's mouth, improving the patient's comfort while eating. At this time, the temperature sensor 42 and the weight sensor 43 inside the spoon body 41 start to work.

[0093] Temperature monitoring phase: Temperature sensor 42 monitors the food temperature in real time. When the food temperature changes, the internal components of temperature sensor 42 generate corresponding electrical signal changes based on the temperature change. For example, when the food temperature is too high, temperature sensor 42 converts the temperature change into an electrical signal and transmits this signal to host 1 via an electrical connection. After receiving the signal, host 1 makes a judgment based on a preset safe temperature threshold. If the food temperature exceeds the threshold, host 1 will issue a reminder signal, informing the user that the food temperature is too high and that they should wait for it to cool down before feeding to prevent burns.

[0094] Weight monitoring phase: The weight sensor 43 begins measuring the weight of the food when it is placed into the spoon body 41. As the feeding process continues, each feeding action causes a change in the weight of the food in the spoon, and the weight sensor 43 captures these changes and converts them into electrical signals. These electrical signals are also transmitted to the host unit 1 via an electrical connection. The host unit 1 records and analyzes the weight data, and medical staff or family members can view the patient's food intake at each feeding through the display screen 12 of the host unit 1 to understand the patient's dietary intake and provide a basis for developing a reasonable diet plan.

[0095] Working in conjunction with an oral endoscope (if needed): When the lower end of the spoon body 41 is connected to the oral endoscope 24, the oral endoscope 24 can function during feeding. The microscope camera 241 in the oral endoscope 24 can observe whether the food is completely placed in the mouth, reducing food spillage and waste. At the same time, the image data collected by the oral endoscope 24 is also transmitted to the host 1, and medical staff can view the relevant images through the host 1 to further understand the condition inside the patient's mouth, such as whether the wound is irritated by food.

[0096] Data storage and analysis phase: The host computer 1 continuously receives data from the temperature sensor 42 and the weight sensor 43, and stores this data in its internal storage device. This data can be used for subsequent analysis. For example, medical staff can analyze the patient's food temperature and food intake data over a period of time to summarize the patient's dietary preferences and nutritional intake, providing a reference for adjusting the nursing plan.

[0097] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the host 1 communicates with the digital oral scanner 21, pH meter 22, thermometer 23, oral endoscope 24, smart ring 3 and smart spoon 4 via wireless WiFi or Bluetooth.

[0098] As can be understood, after the connection is established, the digital oral scanner 21 scans the patient's oral cavity to acquire data, and then sends the image data and analysis results to the host 1 through the established wireless connection according to a specific data format and communication protocol. The pH meter 22 sends the pH value of the saliva sample to the host 1 after completing the pH value test; the thermometer 23 monitors the temperature of the surgical area in real time and continuously transmits the temperature data to the host 1; the oral endoscope 24 captures images of the inside of the oral cavity and transmits the image data to the host 1; the photoplethysmography sensor 31 of the smart ring 3 collects heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data, processes it after being processed by the microcontroller unit 32, and then sends it to the host 1 through the wireless connection; the temperature sensor 42 and the weight sensor 43 of the smart spoon 4 send the food temperature and food intake data to the host 1, respectively.

[0099] The host unit 1 continuously receives data from various components via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Upon receiving the data, the host unit categorizes and processes it according to its data type. For example, for image data transmitted from the digital dental scanner 21, the host unit performs 3D reconstruction or image analysis; for pH value data, temperature data, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data, and food intake data, the host unit compares and analyzes them with preset normal ranges to determine if the patient's physical condition is normal. If the data is abnormal, the host unit 1 will trigger an alarm mechanism, such as displaying a warning message on the display screen 12 or issuing an audible alert.

[0100] Medical staff can send commands to various components through the operating interface of the main unit 1. For example, when the digital dental scanner 21 needs to perform a scan again, the medical staff sends a scan command on the main unit 1. This command is transmitted to the digital dental scanner 21 via a wireless connection, and the digital dental scanner 21 performs the corresponding scan operation after receiving the command. Similarly, the main unit 1 can also send commands to the pH meter 22 to start or stop detection, to the thermometer 23 to adjust the detection frequency, to the smart ring 3 to synchronize data, and to the smart spoon 4 to set a temperature reminder threshold, etc., to achieve remote control of the working status of each component.

[0101] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the main unit 1 is equipped with a display screen 12 for displaying body temperature, pH value, and oral bacteria status. The main unit 1 is also equipped with a switch 13 to control the operation of the device. The main unit 1 is equipped with a charging port 14 for powering the device.

[0102] Understandably, when healthcare professionals prepare to use the integrated intelligent device for post-cleft lip and palate care, they will first locate the switch 13 on the main unit 1. Switch 13 is typically designed in a prominent and easily accessible location on the main unit 1. The healthcare professional presses switch 13 to start the main unit 1. At this time, the internal circuitry of the main unit 1 is powered on, and each component enters the initialization state. For example, the processor inside the main unit 1 begins running a preset startup program, detecting and initializing the connections to the digital oral scanner 21, pH meter 22, thermometer 23, oral endoscope 24, smart ring 3, and smart spoon 4.

[0103] After the host computer 1 is powered on and successfully establishes connections with all components, it begins receiving data from each component. Thermometer 23 monitors the temperature of the surgical area in real time and transmits the measured temperature data to host computer 1. pH meter 22 analyzes the patient's saliva sample and sends the detected saliva pH value data to host computer 1. After receiving this data, host computer 1 processes and analyzes it. Then, it transmits the processed body temperature, pH value, oral bacteria status, and other data to display screen 12 for display. Display screen 12 typically uses a clear and easy-to-read LCD screen or other type of display screen to present this data in an intuitive way. Medical staff can observe the patient's relevant physiological indicators and oral condition at any time by observing display screen 12, providing a basis for nursing care and treatment.

[0104] When the main unit 1's battery is low, it needs to be charged. The main unit 1 has a charging port 14, which typically uses a standard charging interface, such as a common USB interface, for easy charger connection. Medical staff find a compatible charger, insert one end into charging port 14, and connect the other end to a suitable power outlet. At this time, current flows through the charger and charging port 14 into the battery or power management circuit inside the main unit 1. The power management circuit controls and regulates the charging current to ensure the main unit 1 charges safely and stably. During charging, the main unit 1 displays charging status information on the display screen 12, such as the current battery percentage and a charging progress bar, so that medical staff can understand the charging status. Once the main unit 1 is fully charged, medical staff can unplug the charger and continue using the device for nursing care.

[0105] It should be noted that the control method of this application can be automatically controlled by a controller. The control method of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this application is mainly used to protect mechanical structures, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0106] Specifically, when using the integrated intelligent device for postoperative care of cleft lip and palate, assuming that medical staff want to conduct comprehensive nursing monitoring of a postoperative cleft lip and palate patient, the workflow is as follows:

[0107] 1. Device Start-up: Medical staff first locate and press switch 13 on the main unit 1. The internal circuit of the main unit 1 is powered on, and the processor runs the startup program. At this time, the main unit 1 performs detection and connection initialization on the connected digital oral scanner 21, pH meter 22, thermometer 23, oral endoscope 24, smart ring 3, and smart spoon 4. Simultaneously, the display screen 12 of the main unit 1 lights up and displays relevant device startup information.

[0108] 2. Data Acquisition and Transmission of Smart Ring 3: The patient wears the smart ring 3 on their finger. After the host 1 is started, it sends a start signal to the smart ring 3. Upon receiving the signal, the microcontroller unit 32 initializes components such as the photoplethysmography sensor 31 and the memory 33. The photoplethysmography sensor 31 begins to work, emitting light and receiving reflected light to convert the light signal changes into electrical signals. After processing by the microcontroller unit 32, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data are obtained, stored in the memory 33, and sent to the host 1 via an electrical connection.

[0109] 3. Oral Endoscopy 24 Examination: When medical staff need to examine the inside of the patient's oral cavity, they activate the oral endoscope 24. The main unit 1 sends a power signal to the bulb 242 to illuminate the surgical area of ​​the oral cavity, and then sends a start signal to the microscope camera 241. The microscope camera 241 acquires image data of the inside of the oral cavity and transmits it to the main unit 1 in real time via electrical connection. After processing and analyzing the image data, the main unit 1 displays it on the display screen 12, allowing medical staff to observe wound healing, inflammation, and other conditions.

[0110] 4. Digital Dental Scanner 21 Scanning: For a more detailed assessment of oral structural restoration, medical staff operate the host unit 1 to control the digital dental scanner 21. The host unit 1 sends a start signal to the data processing unit 213, which initializes the imaging component 211 and the scanning component 212. The scanning component 212 emits a laser beam, and the imaging component 211 captures the reflected light signal and converts it into an electrical signal. After preliminary processing by the data processing unit 213, the signal is transmitted to the host unit 1. The host unit 1 further analyzes and processes the signal, generating a three-dimensional model that is displayed on the screen 12 to help medical staff assess the surgical outcome.

[0111] 5. pH Detector 22 Detection: Medical staff assist patients in collecting saliva samples and placing them in the detection area of ​​pH detector 22. The sensor detects changes in ion concentration and converts them into electrical signals. These signals are processed by the internal circuitry to obtain pH value data, which is then transmitted to the host unit 1 via electrical connection. The host unit 1 compares the data to the normal range. If an abnormality is detected, a prompt is issued, and the result is displayed on the screen 12 after processing, allowing medical staff to determine the oral acid-base environment.

[0112] 6. Thermometer 23 Monitoring: The DS18B20 sensor of thermometer 23 places its sensing head near the surgical area to monitor the temperature in real time. Temperature changes cause changes in the resistance value of the thermistor, generating an electrical signal which is converted from analog to digital and sent to host 1 via electrical connection. Host 1 compares the temperature with the normal temperature range; if an abnormality is detected, an alarm is triggered, and the data is stored and displayed on display screen 12.

[0113] 7. Smart Spoon 4 Usage: When feeding a patient, food is placed into the spoon body 41, and the temperature sensor 42 and weight sensor 43 begin to operate. The temperature sensor 42 monitors the food temperature; if it exceeds a threshold, the host 1 issues a warning via the display screen 12. The weight sensor 43 measures the food weight, and the data is transmitted to the host 1, allowing medical staff to view the amount of food consumed on the display screen 12. If the spoon body 41 is connected to the oral endoscope 24, the food intake can also be observed, and the image data is transmitted to the host 1.

[0114] 8. Data Comprehensive Analysis and Processing: The main unit 1 continuously receives data from various components and performs comprehensive analysis on data such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, body temperature, pH value, oral images, and food intake. If the data is abnormal, an alert will be displayed on the screen 12 or an audible prompt will be issued. Medical staff can formulate or adjust nursing and treatment plans based on the data, and the data is stored for subsequent retrieval and research.

[0115] 9. Device Shutdown and Charging: After the nursing procedure is completed, the medical staff presses switch 13 on the main unit 1 to turn off the device. If the main unit 1 has insufficient power, insert the charger into the charging port 14 and connect it to a power outlet to charge. During the charging process, the display screen 12 shows the charging status. Once fully charged, unplug the charger, and the device is ready for the next use.

[0116] In summary, this utility model provides an integrated intelligent device for postoperative care of cleft lip and palate. This device integrates multiple functional components, which can comprehensively monitor the patient's postoperative wound healing, physiological indicators, and dietary status, improve detection efficiency, reduce the burden on medical staff, monitor in real time through high-precision sensors and cameras, and issue warnings when data is abnormal, thereby reducing the risk of complications. In addition, the intelligent spoon design is user-friendly, and the components are replaceable to meet individual needs.
