Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a smart endoscope device for multi-parameter synchronous monitoring of gastroesophageal reflux disease. [Background technology]

[0002] Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common and multifaceted disease of the digestive system. Its pathogenesis is primarily due to the reflux of gastric juice into the esophagus, causing mucosal damage. Precise monitoring of reflux events is central to the diagnosis and research of the disease. Existing diagnostic technologies have obvious limitations: 24-hour impedance-pH catheter monitoring can dynamically identify reflux events, but it cannot observe the flow of refluxate in real time. Traditional gastroscopy can obtain visual evidence of mucosal damage, but it cannot perform long-term dynamic monitoring or synchronized determination of the pH value of refluxate. Some existing monitoring devices require the fixation of an external catheter through the nose, which causes discomfort to patients and disrupts their daily lives. At the same time, single-parameter monitoring cannot comprehensively reflect the correlation between reflux, esophageal motility, and mucosal damage, limiting diagnostic efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, the above problems need to be solved, and for this purpose, the present technical solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The present invention will be described in detail below. The features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the description. It becomes clear.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. This invention discloses a smart endoscope device for multi-parameter synchronous monitoring of gastroesophageal reflux disease, which mainly comprises a capsule-type outer shell 1, a multi-parameter acquisition system 2, a transmission module 3 and a display terminal 4.

[0018] Here, the capsule-shaped shell 1 is made of medical-grade latex and has a cylindrical body. The capsule-shaped shell 1 preferably has a length of 18 mm and an outer diameter of 10 mm. The interior of the capsule-shaped shell 1 is divided into a front section 11 and a rear section 12 by a sealed structure, and the top ends of the front section 11 and the rear section 12 are both transparent shells. The front and rear ends of the shell 1 are both arched, which makes it easier for the patient to swallow the shell or expel it from the stomach or esophagus, reduces pain when swallowing or removing the shell, and prevents the shell from damaging organs such as the stomach or esophagus.

[0019] The transmission module 3 includes a transmitter 31, a processor 32, and a transmission cable 33. The transmitter 31 is connected to the visualization module 21 and the pressure sensing module 23 via conductors and is used to wirelessly transmit collected signals to an external display terminal 4. The processor 32 receives data transmitted from the pH monitoring module 22, compares it with a preset acid-base threshold, and generates a warning if the value is abnormal. The processor 32 also receives gastric magnetic signals transmitted from the gastric magnetic signal collection module, converts the gastric magnetic signals into digital signals, and then transmits the digital signals to the display terminal 4. The transmission module further includes a transmission cable 33, which is detachably connected to the tail of the capsule-shaped outer shell 1 and includes a signal transmission line and a power supply line therein. The other end of the transmission cable can be connected to the display terminal 4. The transmission cable 33 serves as a backup transmission means and is used to transmit data when wireless signals are limited or to assist in adjusting the position of the outer shell. When transmitting signals using a wireless transmission method, the transmission cable can be removed from the tail of the capsule-type outer shell 1, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0020] An example using a wireless transmission method will be described below.

[0021] The multi-parameter acquisition system 2 includes a visualization module 21, a pH monitoring module 22, a pressure sensing module 23, and a gastric magnetic signal acquisition module 24.

[0022] Here, the visualization module 21 includes an imaging module 211 and an LED light source 212, and the imaging module 211 is fixed at the center of the front compartment. One or more LED light sources 212 are installed in a ring shape around the imaging module 211 to provide a light source when the imaging module 211 is operating and make the captured images clearer. The imaging module 211 can then transmit the captured image information to the transmitter 31, and the transmitter then transmits the information to the display terminal 4.

[0023] The pH monitoring module 22 is installed on the outside of the capsule-shaped outer shell 1 and monitors the pH value in the patient's gastroesophageal tract. The pH monitoring module 22 can transmit the monitored pH value to the processor 32, which compares the received pH value in real time with a preset acid-base threshold range and issues a danger command to the display terminal 4 if the pH value exceeds the acid-base threshold range. The display terminal 4 receives the danger command transmitted from the processor 32 and issues an alarm in response to the danger command until the pH value falls within the acid-base threshold range, at which point the alarm stops. In actual operation, a physician can take timely action based on the alarm issued by the display terminal 4 and the information displayed.

[0024] The pressure sensing module 23 is installed on the outside of the capsule-shaped outer shell 1, and monitors the pressure value in the gastroesophageal tract in real time, and transmits the monitored pressure value to the transmitter 31. The transmitter 31 receives the pressure value transmitted from the pressure sensing module 23 in real time, and transmits the pressure value to the display terminal 4. In actual operation, the doctor can take timely treatment based on the information displayed on the display terminal.

[0025] The gastric magnetic signal collecting module 24 is installed outside the capsule-shaped outer shell 1 and can collect and amplify gastric magnetic signals in real time, and transmit the gastric magnetic signals to the processor 32. The processor 32 receives the gastric magnetic signals transmitted from the gastric magnetic signal collecting module 24 in real time, converts the gastric magnetic signals into digital signals, and then transmits the digital signals to the display terminal 4. The display terminal receives the digital signals transmitted from the gastric magnetic controller and displays the digital signals, thereby collecting gastric magnetic signals from the patient's gastroesophageal tract in real time.

[0026] An example using a wired transmission method will be described below.

[0027] The visualization module 21, pH monitoring module 22, pressure sensing module 23, and gastric magnetic signal collection module 24 can transmit the collected information to a display terminal via a transmission cable 33. In actual operation, physicians can take timely action based on the information displayed on the display terminal. At the same time, the present invention uses a transmission cable design that allows the capsule-shaped outer shell to be fixed to the patient's teeth after descending to a desired location in the gastroesophageal tract, and the depth and position of the outer shell can be adjusted by pulling the transmission cable out of the oral cavity. Furthermore, the diameter of the transmission cable is relatively small, which does not affect the patient's normal life and reduces the patient's discomfort during gastroesophageal pressure measurement.

[0028] During use, the patient swallows the capsule-shaped shell 1, observes the image on the display terminal 4, and confirms that it has reached the upper part of the esophagogastric junction, at which point monitoring begins. Each module in the multi-parameter collection system 2 operates synchronously, and data is transmitted to the display terminal via wireless or wired transmission for synchronous display and analysis. After monitoring is complete, the shell can be removed via the transmission cable or directly expelled from the body and reused after disinfection.

[0029] Although the above describes a comparatively specific embodiment of the present invention, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent replacements or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the technical solutions and concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention shall also be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
