Description

Advanced multisectoral counter and kiosk for integrated regional health-related data gathering and personalized physiologic and hemodynamic monitoring

[0001] Despite multiple achievements developments in various aspects of personal and regional-oriented health-related services and technologies, one of the basic problems in providing and receiving these alleged services is the lack of access to these services and technologies in certain geographical areas. In fact, even though during the last decades, the life expectancy among various societies' populations and citizens of other countries has improved significantly, in some cases up to 20 years, the availability, affordability, and attainability of these claimed health-related services and technologies are presented in an asymmetrical and non-uniform manner.

[0036] One of the fundamental issues in providing and receiving healthcare-related services is the lack of access to these services and technologies in certain geographical areas, especially the less privileged communities and frustratingly, in most countries of the world, there is no fair distribution of wealth among diverse existing social and geographic communities, which is one of the problems that this issue creates. It is that there is a lack of access to medical facilities and doctors in the society, in the poor economic classes as well as non-urban and less privileged areas. For this reason, medical information and personal health are taught less among these people, and this causes serious problems for the health of society.

[0037] One of the challenges facing any society can be a lot of pressure on the medical staff, doctors, and nurses. In the past years, technology companies in the medical field have mostly produced devices to make examinations more accurate and easier, but often, few institutions have focused on reducing the workload of the treatment staff through the use of technology, while with the existing tools, a part of the examination and treatment process can be well automated and performed without the intervention of a doctor or any other medical staff.

[0038] By considering these unfairness and asymmetries in the distribution of healthcare-related services and technologies and , e.g. the lack of access of the less privileged people of a society to doctors and medical information, the lack of general information on the health status of the people, as well as the high work pressure and the amount of activity of the medical staff exclusively; the fundamental need to involve technological tools to solve these problems would be comprehended, and in this invention, a design and implementation of an advanced multicomponent multisectoral kiosk has been taken into consideration for providing the suitable conditions for remote monitoring and collecting personalized hemodynamic and health-related information of each individual and resident belonging to a certain social or geographic region, especially the geographically unprivileged areas or geographically socially deprived communities which has provided the possibility of monitoring the quality of life and health status of the residents of these areas and claimed communities, intermittently and continuously.

[0039] The advancement of technology in various fields of technology in recent decades has become the basis for the advancement of various aspects of engineering and medical sciences, and this issue has become the basis for improving the quality of health services provided and received by different people. Despite the achievements of these developments in various fields and aspects of technology, especially in technologies and services related to the healthcare of people in various societies, one of the basic problems in providing and receiving these alleged services is the lack of access to these services and technologies in certain geographical areas.

[0040] In fact, even though during the last decades, the life expectancy among various societies' populations and citizens of other countries has improved significantly, in some cases up to 20 years, the availability, affordability, and attainability of these claimed health-related services and technologies are presented in an asymmetrical and non-uniform manner.

[0041] This issue has caused that despite the achievement of these levels of technologies and technologies invented in recent decades, the significant effect created in parameters such as quality of life and life expectancy has been created asymmetrically and non-uniformly, and the level of benefit and privileges from these technologies and health-related services, in many geographically disadvantaged areas and socially deprived communities such as rural and nomadic communities, citizens of underdeveloped countries, or residents of border areas, such as the citizens of developed countries, urban dwellers, and residents of large cities benefiting from various industrial towns or facilities, has been provided and distributed in a much more limited manner than geographically privileged areas and lucrative and wealthy communities.

[0042] To standardize the availability, affordability, and attainability of these claimed health-related services and technologies, in this claimed invention, the design and implementation of a targeted multicomponent multisectoral kiosk has been taken into consideration for monitoring and collecting personalized hemodynamic and health-related information of each individual and resident belonging to a certain social or geographic region, especially the geographically unprivileged areas or geographically socially deprived communities which has provided the possibility of monitoring the quality of life and health status of the residents of these areas and claimed communities, intermittently and continuously.

[0043] Eventually, the possibility of preparing a local health database or atlas, in line with national and global interest approaches, and also, the possibility of establishing and providing targeted and optimized classified documentation, based on person-centered approaches, for all members and people of various communities and geographical areas, both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, has been provided in line with individual health approaches.

[0044] In addition to the brief approach mentioned in the previous section, the need to use the claimed invention can also be examined from another aspect. In fact, looking at the contemporary life of the global population, health status is one of the main axes that make up his concern in life. In fact, in today's world, health has become a commodity that society members, regardless of financial ability, culture, social class, and age, demand.

[0045] The individual health status of the people of a country is tied to many factors, including clean, healthy, and nutritious food, healthy air, paying attention to the necessary preventions, carrying out vaccinations and observing personal hygiene tips, and finally, the presence of a skilled doctor and suitable spa facilities for the treatment of a person that having an illness.

[0046] Unfortunately, in most countries of the world, there is no fair distribution of wealth in society, which is one of the problems that this issue creates. It is that there is a lack of access to medical facilities and doctors in the society, in the poor economic classes as well as non-urban and less privileged areas. For this reason, medical information and personal health are taught less among these people, and this causes serious problems for the health of society.

[0047] In the process of machine learning and training deep neural networks, at least a computer with a tremendous set of information would be essential, that possesses the ability to learn and analyze raw data, from scratch, and then whatever would be eventually requested from it can be analyzed regarding the provided information and the ability to behave accordingly would be elected. However, if a health-oriented artificial intelligence is to be designed according to each country, there would be a need for the health information of each member comprising the community population of that country on a macro level, and practicing artificial intelligence is only one of the applications of having this information on a macro level, in general, the analysis of this data can be very pivotal.

[0048] One of the challenges facing any society can be a lot of pressure on the medical staff, doctors, and nurses. In the past years, technology companies in the medical field have mostly produced devices to make examinations more accurate and easier, but often, few institutions have focused on reducing the workload of the treatment staff through the use of technology, while with the existing tools, a part of the examination and treatment process can be well automated and performed without the intervention of a doctor or any other medical staff.

[0049] In this way, each of the medical staff members can put their consideration more exclusively on the specialized field of their occupation. One of the things that can be automated is taking the history of patients before going to the doctor or performing the triage process. Also, one of the other concerns of doctors is the lack of doctors in some geographical areas, which governments need to send doctors to provide services to remote areas. Sometimes, to perform these missions, doctors are put in difficult mental and physical conditions due to commuting hard working conditions, and lack of facilities.

[0050] By considering the above three cases, i.e. the lack of access of the less privileged people of a society to doctors and medical information, the lack of general information on the health status of the people, as well as the high work pressure and the amount of activity of the medical staff exclusively; the fundamental need to involve technological tools to solve these problems would be comprehended.

[0051] Although these problems and deficiencies can have non-technological, political, and social solutions, with meticulous investigations, a technological solution is the most comprehensive and least expensive way to solve these issues, because many better health and medical services will be provided as a byproduct of stepping on this path. In this way, this invention was founded and designed with the help of mechatronics and artificial intelligence, considering medical and social aspects, and was made in the form of a prototype.

[0052] As mentioned earlier, in order to solve the problem of non-uniformity and asymmetry in the state of distribution, availability, affordability, and attainability, and benefit from health-related services and technologies, in the claimed invention, the design of a multicomponent multisectoral kiosk and counter, which consists of a set of health monitoring and surveillance systems and devices, has been addressed, which has provided the possibility of targeted periodic monitoring of the health status of each resident of a specific geographical area or constituent members of a specific social group, with the help of real-time monitoring of various hemodynamic and laboratory parameters.

[0053] In order to achieve this goal, this claimed multicomponent multisectoral kiosk consists of a set of monitoring systems and different monitoring devices to measure a set of hemodynamic parameters and a set of targeted laboratory parameters that have been addressed separately. The design of this claimed multisectoral kiosk and counter, relies on a set of mechanical devices, which includes at least one specially designed seat (14), at least one weighting scale (2), at least one specially designed height gauge (1), and a set of specially designed holding components (4 and 18), with an upgraded design.

[0054] In addition to utilizing this set of claimed mechanical devices and tools, a series of electromotor systems and various electronic devices with differentiated capabilities, including at least one advanced multisectoral blood pressure device with its technically improved sphygmomanometer cuff (8), a pulse oximeter device (7), a thermometer device (6), an upgraded special dual-action monitoring device with the ability to monitor and measure several specific hemodynamic parameters (19) and a series of rapid diagnostic kits (28, 29 & 30), which each possesses an exclusive diagnostic function based on 3 types of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) biosensing mechanisms, including Immunochromatographic Assay, Aptamer-based immunoassay and CRISPR / dCas12-based immunoassay, has been applied, along with a set of electronic and electrochemical systems (19 and 24).

[0055] These alleged series of electromotor systems and electronic devices with differentiated capabilities have provided the technical conditions for simultaneously measuring and periodically monitoring a set of physiological parameters, including height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (BFP) and waist-hip ratio (WHR), and a set of hemodynamic parameters, including blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), cardiac output (CO), and cardiac index, along with a set of laboratory parameters, preferably biochemical parameters such as glucose blood sugar, A1c, TSH, T3, T4, Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglyceride (TG), and C-reactive protein (CRP).

[0056] Notably, in addition to these 3 sets of physiological, hemodynamic, and biochemical parameters, it is possible to measure and periodically monitor the blood level of several life-threatening infectious microorganisms in a semi-quantitative manner, preferably the Vibrio cholera O1 that causes cholera, the mycobacterium tuberculosis that causes tuberculosis, the Treponema pallidum that causes syphilis, the Neisseria gonorrhoeae that causes gonorrhea, the Chlamydia trachomatis microorganism which causes trachoma, and the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS.

[0057] This set of claimed rapid detection kits includes a set of rapid detection kits with a diagnostic function, based on the mechanism of lateral flow immunoassay and in the form of point-of-care detection. Furthermore, according to the previous materials, among the applied rapid detection kits, several LFIA-based rapid tests including the TSH, T3, and T4 rapid detection kit (28), the defensin CRP / alpha rapid detection kit (30), and the multi-target multiplex rapid detection kit (29), which is implemented to detect and monitor the blood level of the set of alleged microorganisms, can be pointed out.

[0058] Besides that, the claimed series of above-mentioned electronic and electrochemical systems, including at least one dual-action electronic device for simultaneous monitoring of blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels (19), relying on an electrochemical mechanism and performing an oxidation and reduction reaction, along with at least one device to measure the blood level of triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), LDL and HDL (24), based on the photometry technique.

[0059] In order to examine in more detail, the various parts of the device and the claimed multicomponent multisectoral counter, the components included in the present invention have been evaluated in two various embodiments. In the first embodiment, mechanical devices, preliminary equipment for measuring and monitoring physiological parameters, computer systems, and the general approach to collecting, analyzing, and classifying health-related information have been investigated, and in the second embodiment, the technical methods and the performance of the utilized devices, systems, as well as specialized and complementary equipment, in order to measure and monitor the hemodynamic, biochemical and blood level parameters of life-threatening infectious microorganisms, have been investigated.

[0060] In general, this invention includes a base for measuring vital signs of the body, by referring to which the user can measure his own symptoms without the need for a medical specialist technician or operator and only by utilizing the instructions provided through the display of the device. These symptoms will be stored in the database on the web, and the user from anywhere in the world can read his medical records and files or present them to his doctor by just referring to his user panel through the Internet.

[0061] With the help of artificial intelligence embedded in this device, the possibility to measure the user's symptoms and provide him with suggestions regarding his health level has been established along with providing any further suggestions for scheduling an appointment with a specialist. The device has the ability to provide a video call with the doctor. Also, users can have a text or voice conversation with the artificial intelligence of the device through the display and speaker and microphones built on it and get information about personal health and various diseases.

[0062] In short, the purpose of making this invention is to develop the health network in countries so that people and regions that are less fortunate financially or geographically have easy access to doctors and medical services. Furthermore, this device helps to increase the level of community health and personal health and health awareness. Another goal of the device is to reduce the pressure of the treatment staff by reducing the amount of non-specialized activities that can be avoided by this group and left to the clients themselves.

[0063] For example, taking medical histories in hospitals and conducting triage operations are activities of this kind. This invention includes a base or a kiosk in the form of a room or in the form of a static structure that can be made of different materials such as wood, metals, plastic, and composites and has the ability to be separated and installed on site.

[0064] In this design, various instruments for measuring the body's vital signs are embedded, which in the early versions of these instruments include various equipment that can perform the desired measurements in classical or modern ways. As previously stated, a portion of these monitoring devices can be referred to include 1. Blood pressure measuring device, 2. Heart rate measuring device, 3. Blood oxygen saturation measuring device, 4. User height measuring device, 5. User weight measuring device, and 6. User body temperature measuring device.

[0065] As mentioned earlier, the method of measuring these symptoms is not specific to a particular method and different technologies can be used to perform measurements in different models of this device, and the capability of including a wide range of other complementary tools is also provided to this invention. For instance, by adding one or more other measuring devices, such as a blood sugar measuring device, a body fat measuring device, a skin disease measuring device, and other similar devices along with other utilized equipment, will not alter or affect the nature and technical purposes of this invention.

[0066] This device includes a touch or non-touch screen that the user can interact with the device by touching the screen or through the keyboard and mouse and built-in buttons or voice commands and provide the necessary information. Inside this kiosk, for better interaction with the user, several speakers, and microphones have been installed and embedded for the user to facilitate the process of online interaction with the device or other people through them. Moreover, there are at least one camera or image producing unit has been applied to record photos and images of the person inside the kiosk, which can be used for various purposes, i.e. to make a video call with a doctor online, to authenticate, or to record the symptoms of your diseases or skin diseases.

[0067] Depending on the user's request, these images will be transmitted to the physician or will be recorded in his electronic file, or will be used for analysis by artificial intelligence. This kiosk is ergonomically designed, in such a way that the user does not need to suffer difficulty or have special knowledge about how medical measuring devices work. Moreover, the device is suitable for people of different ages and disabilities, for example, people who use wheelchairs can also easily use this product. The principles of aesthetics are considered for the greater comfort of the user.

[0068] Notably, attention has been directed to the light space of the device in such a way that the user has enough light to work with the device, as well as lights to guide the user in order to use the device correctly. A mobile chair is intended for the user and can be transported anywhere. The air conditioning facilities for the kiosk are intended to adjust the air temperature, the room can intelligently change the air temperature of the room according to the user's symptoms. As processing hardware, a microcontroller, considered here as Arduino Uno is used, which, at the command of the main processor, activates the sensors, measures their values, performs pre-processing i.e. averaging on the received values, and transmits the final value to the main processor.

[0069] The main processor, which is considered here as Raspberry Pi 5 with 4 GB of RAM (13), is responsible for managing the collection so that the user interface is stored on it and displayed on the screen, it transmits the appropriate command to the microcontroller and receives the information collected from the sensors, also receives information from the user and stores all the information temporarily on its internal memory, and after uploading the information to the secure cloud space, it deletes it forever from its local memory.

[0070] In general, the processor has the task of managing the collection and creating a communication bridge between the web, the user, and the electronic components. Similarly, the processor uses the display, microphone, speaker, physical buttons, camera, mouse, and keyboard to communicate with the user. The processor processes the user's image with the help of image processing algorithms and neural networks and provides him with the necessary guidance.

[0071] The microcontroller is the executive arm of the processor and is in charge of communicating with sensors and actuators. All the control and processing parts are placed in the control box of the kiosk, which is cooled with the help of a fan and airflow to protect them thermally. After the user enters the kiosk area, his presence is detected by image processing through the device's camera, and the device greets him with a voice message.

[0072] The user sits on a chair and faces the screen, and will eventually able to check his symptoms and consult the artificial intelligence of the device anonymously, and receive medical information from him, or if he has already registered, he can enter his user panel by entering his username and password, or by entering his details, such as first and last name, identification codes such as national code, gender, age, and background diseases, he completes his registration process. At this stage, the user can choose a specific symptom measurement or a full check-up.

[0073] The user interface designed for the device provides textual, video, and audio training to guide the user in all stages, and the correctness of the user's performance is measured by the camera and image processing with the help of the artificial intelligence of the device and reminds him of corrective actions. To measure blood pressure, the user must place his hand inside the arm designed for this purpose. This arm is a holding base for the blood pressure measuring cuff, which is ergonomically designed for the user's comfort.

[0074] The user positions his hand inside the arm, the air pump raises the pressure inside the cuff, and at the same time the pressure inside the cuff is measured through a differential air pressure sensor to obtain the pressure difference between the inside of the cuff and the air pressure in the room; If the cuff is well inflated around the user's arm or wrist, the user's pulse creates pressure fluctuations inside the cuff, which can be sensed by the sensor.

[0075] By pumping air into the cuff, the user's pulse in the hand becomes weaker and weaker and the process of pumping air into the cuff continues until the pressure changes caused by the user's pulse on the sphygmomanometer sensor reach a predetermined value, and is stopped in an emergency at a maximum value to prevent him from being harmed, then the microcontroller commands a solenoid to release the airflow and thus, the air is slowly deflated from the cuff, and the pressure sensor continues to read until it can no longer sense heartbeats. In this way, the patient's systolic and diastolic pressures are determined. In all the steps, the device guides the user to perform the steps with the help of colored lights and voice and video messages.

[0076] To measure the heart rate and blood oxygen, the user just needs to keep his finger in the location of this sensor, so that the light emitted from it hits the finger, and its reflection is sensed by the sensor, the spectrum of the reflected and returned light beams, will eventually represent the decrease and increase of blood flow and saturated oxygen level in the blood. To measure body temperature, you can use all kinds of digital thermometers, in the prototype of this invention, a contactless infrared thermometer is used, which tells the patient's temperature by measuring the infrared emission emitted from the patient's forehead.

[0077] To measure height, different mechanisms can be used. In the prototype of this invention, an ultrasonic sensor is used, which is based on sending a sound wave and measuring its return time, by having the sound's round trip time and knowing the speed of sound, you can measure the distance. This sensor is installed on top of the device, the user stands under it and his height is measured.

[0078] Simultaneously there is a digital scale in the place where the user stands, which measures a person's weight, the basis of its work is the placement of four load cells with a Wheatstone bridge arrangement, the weight of the user causes the metal parts of the load cell to bend and finally, the electric current changes in them, and this current change will create a potential difference on both sides of the Wheatstone bridge, which is read by the microcontroller.

[0079] Subsequently, all the received information by the microcontroller is transmitted from the sensors to the processor, and the output is displayed on the screen. After that, the information in the user's electronic file is uploaded to the secure cloud space, and to maintain the security of the user's information, it is deleted from the processor's local memory. Another feature of the device is that the user can make online video or text calls with doctors and be examined with his symptoms in hand. Also, a camera for close examination is built into the device, where the user can share images of his throat or skin with the physician. In addition to the processing of internal images, the device performs triage and scheduling based on the deterioration of the client's condition with the help of its local artificial intelligence and interacts online with world-renowned artificial intelligence, and users are able to demand to analyze their information or exchange opinions with them to receive medical information.

[0080] In the previous sections, a comprehensive review of the general approach in the path of collecting, analyzing, and classifying health-related data (health-related information) and evaluation of the role and function of mechanical devices and part of basic electronic and electromechanical equipment and systems used to monitor physiological parameters and several target hemodynamic parameters were mentioned, including blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation level, height, weight and body temperature of users, have been investigated. In this section, the technical efficiency and performance of systems and equipment used to measure and monitor biochemical parameters and other hemodynamic parameters, have been examined.

[0081] In fact, the health of each person is a parameter dependent on several dependent and independent variables, and just by measuring normal physiological parameters such as height, weight, body temperature, and BMI, along with the two hemodynamic parameters of blood pressure and heart rate, the ability to create and establish a set of abundance and completed person-oriented medical reports and documentations, to produce a comprehensive regulatory document or a geographic medical atlas, would not be fully provided.

[0082] In this regard, in order to create a series of classified reports related to the health status of each person and to enable the necessary conditions to produce a comprehensive document that can be cited, along with the usual electronic and electromechanical equipment and systems claimed, a complementary monitoring assembly with improved design (41) has been used along with a specific electromechanical assembly with improved design with the aim of enabling remote blood sampling conditions (47). The implemented complementary monitoring assembly (41) consists of a set of devices, systems, and different monitoring units with various monitoring and monitoring mechanisms.

[0083] The first system extracting from the claimed complementary monitoring assembly is a multicomponent electronic monitoring device for the simultaneous monitoring of blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels, based on an electrochemical mechanism and by performing an oxidation and reduction reaction (19). This alleged electromechanical device possesses a multi-purpose function relying on several different mechanisms, and along with the capability of simultaneously measuring and monitoring the blood level of blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c, it would be possible to measure and monitor vital hemodynamic parameters, such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), and body surface area (BSA) parameter.

[0084] The second system originating from the claimed complementary regulatory assembly is a device for measuring blood levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, and HDL (24), based on the photometry technique (24), which will possess the ability to monitor and measure the intermittent blood level of 4 biochemical parameters of triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, and HDL.

[0085] The third system comprising the claimed complementary regulatory assembly is a set of rapid detection kits with a range of different biochemical and immunological mechanisms based on the general mechanism of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). This set of claimed rapid detection kits includes at least one TSH, T3, and T4 rapid detection kit (28), a defensin CRP / alpha rapid detection kit (30), and a multi-target multiplex rapid detection kit (29).

[0086] The technical point of support in the operationalization of all these three sets, including the assembled set of supplementary monitoring (41), is claimed to be the use of an electromechanical part, under the title of a special electromechanical blood-sampling set with an improved design, with the aim of enabling remote blood sampling conditions (47). This mentioned special electromechanical blood-sampling set, which has the ability to be embedded in the inner part of the cuff like a ring (16) or in the part of the inner space of the pulse oximeter device (7), consists of a size-adjustable gauge needle (49), two mobile adjustable smart electromechanical arms (47) and a ring hub (48). Furthermore, in the upper area of the alleged electromechanical arms, 2 ultra-high frequency ultrasonic sensors with a frequency spectrum of more than 5 million Hz (50) are embedded, which have a functional mechanism based on the Doppler effect. Moreover, in addition to the claimed 2 high-frequency ultrasonic sensors, a set of high-frequency ultrasonic sensors, with a frequency range of 1.5 to 3 million Hz, is embedded in an annular belt (17) located in the inner part of the annular handle-like cuff (16). The existence of these two mentioned systems has provided the possibility of a blood sampling process through the ultrasonic guide, based on AI-driven decisions, and the pivotal safety and technical conditions for applying the safe process of blood sampling from the most optimal position of the brachial vein, have been smoothed remotely and independently and without the need of the presence of a technician or secondary person.

[0087] By carrying out the sampling process, the possibility of analyzing various laboratory and biochemical parameters mentioned in the previous sections has been facilitated. Besides, following the sampling, the possibility of transferring the collected blood sample to the sample pad section of the TSH, T3, and T4 rapid detection kit (31), the sample pad section of the defensin CRP / alpha rapid detection kit (33) and the sample pad section of the multi-target multiplex rapid detection kit (32) has been provided, which has been enabled the possibility of semi-quantitative monitoring and measurement of biological and biochemical factors TSH, T3, T4 and defensin CRP / alpha, along with checking the presence or absence of contamination with targeted life-threatening microorganisms.

[0088] As represented in the rapid diagnostic kits implemented, in the rapid detection kit for TSH, T3, and T4 (28), 3 different lines are included, including a control line (36), a min test line (34), and a max test line (35), which has the ability to change color, based on the mechanism of Immunochromatographic Assay. If the color change process is carried out in the mentioned min test line area, it means the lower blood level of each of the 3 factors TSH, T3, and T4, and if the process of color change is performed in the mentioned min test line area, it means that the blood level of each of the 3 factors TSH, T3 and T4 is higher than the normal range.

[0089] In the defensin CRP / alpha rapid detection kit (30), a control line (39) and a test line (40) are embedded. If a color change is observed, after the blood sample taken from the brachial vein enters the sample pad area, it will indicate the existence of a threatening active inflammation, especially in the tendon and joint areas.

[0090] Finally, in the multi-target multiplex rapid detection kit, next to the control line (37), embedded from a set of several different test lines, with various diagnostic mechanisms, Immunochromatographic Assay, Aptamer-based immunoassay, and CRISPR / dCas12-based immunoassay, has been applied to measure and detect the blood level of alleged life-threatening infectious microorganisms, including Vibrio cholerae O1, mycobacterium tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and human immunodeficiency virus, and an observable color change from each of these mentioned test lines will eventually indicate a positive test response related to the presence of contamination and the person's involvement in each of the diseases caused by each of these microorganisms.

[0091] As noted previously, the first system that originated from the claimed complementary monitoring kit is a multicomponent electronic monitoring device for simultaneous monitoring of blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels, which can simultaneously monitor several hemodynamic parameters. As shown, in the monitor section of the claimed device (21), in its upper area, the blood level report of two blood glucose factors and hemoglobin A1c, and in the lower area, the quantitative report of 5 different hemodynamic parameters can be witnessed. To report the blood level of both claimed blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c factors, the individual's blood sample is entered into the electrochemical processor through the blood input section (20) of the device, and the blood concentration analysis process will be carried out quantitatively by performing an oxidation and reduction reaction.

[0092] A similar procedure is performed on the analysis and quantitative measurement of blood levels of triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (TC), LDL, and HDL in the device for measuring blood levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL and HDL (24), and the corresponding blood sample is entered through the designed transfer path to the three built-in inputs of the claimed device. The first entry (27) is related to TG monitoring, the second entry (25) is related to TC, and the third entry is related to measuring two biochemical factors, LDL and HDL (26), and the blood level analysis of the mentioned factors in the blood sample received by each of these inputs will be done in a specific part of the device's processor, which is based on two photometry and chemiluminescence mechanisms.

[0093] Notably, the process of measuring and monitoring 5 hemodynamic parameters SBP, MAP, SVR, CO, and CI is non-invasive and independent of the blood sampling process. The existence of a set of high-frequency ultrasonic sensors embedded in the annular belt area (17) located in the inner part of the annular handle-like cuff (16) claimed, in line with 2 ultra-high ultrasonic sensors embedded in the vicinity of the needle with an adjustable gauge, enables the conditions of monitoring alterations in the velocities and instant positions of red blood cells in the brachial vein and brachial artery based on the mechanism and Doppler effect, and it would be possible to directly calculate SBP, MAP, and SVR, following the measurement of the hemodynamic parameter Cardiac flow, and by relying on the Fick equation, the measurement of the two parameters of cardiac efficiency (CO) and cardiac index (CI) would be enabled. It is noteworthy that the cardiac index parameter is obtained by dividing the CO parameter by BSA, and the BSA parameter, which is only related to the person's height and weight, will be theoretically calculated through the physiological data obtained from the two utilized regular electronic devices, one that measures the height of the user (1) and the other that measures the weight of the user (2).

[0094] By installing this device in less privileged areas and far from urban communities, it is possible to strengthen the country's health network and benefit the people of the regions from medical services. In fact, by using such devices that are managed under a single network, it can be used for the purpose of collecting macro information at the country level, which is used to plan preventive and treatment plans at the national level.

[0095] In this case, in addition to improving public health, the substantial amount of spent medical budgets will be mitigated and the amounts will be capitalized elsewhere in a targeted manner; as a result, it would be possible to monitor the quality of life of the residents of these areas and claimed communities intermittently and continuously, and the possibility of preparing a database or local health atlas, in line with the approaches of national and global interests, as well as the possibility of preparing targeted and optimized classified documentation, based on person-centered approaches, will be provided to all the residents of diverse communities and geographical areas, not regarding the level of their economic, geographical or social privileges, in line with individual health approaches.

[0096] As mentioned earlier, one of the desired goals for moving towards this invention is to reduce the workload of the treatment staff. By installing this device in hospitals and medical offices, the operation of history taking and initial recording of the patient's symptoms can be performed by this device, and it will be recorded in his electronic file, which, in addition to reducing the volume of doctors' activity and organizing it, will help to diagnose the doctor more accurately; besides, this device uses artificial intelligence to operate and triage patients and assign appointments based on their deterioration, which prevents many conflicts and irregularities in the emergency room of hospitals.

[0097] Furthermore, the artificial intelligence linked to the device possesses the ability to present basic medical recommendations to patients exclusively and independently. It is possible that some patients, by receiving these simple AI-driven consultations, no longer need to wait for a personal consultation with a specialist or physician, which will lead to mutual satisfaction.

[0098] On the other hand, the possibility of remote visits of this product provides peace of mind for the patient and doctor that there is no need for many doctors to go to less privileged areas or for patients to travel to urban areas for simpler diseases, and simultaneously, these two groups are mutually interacted by this device.

[0099] It is worth noting that in addition to the previously mentioned cases, it is possible to continuously and periodically monitor the health level of each of the residents of the less privileged areas or geographically remote areas, in a classified and categorized manner, which has enabled the necessary conditions for the prognosis of various risks threatening the health of the entire community of a country, such as the possibility of pandemics and epidemics caused by infections and various contagious diseases.

To measure blood pressure, each user has to position his / her hand inside the claimed electromechanical arm designed for this purpose. This arm is a holding base for the blood pressure cuff, which is ergonomically designed for the user's comfort.According to claim 1, the user puts his hand inside the arm, and the air pump raises the pressure inside the cuff, and simultaneously, the pressure inside the cuff is measured through a differential air pressure sensor to obtain the pressure difference between the inside of the cuff and the air pressure in the room. If the cuff is well inflated around the user's arm or wrist, the user's pulse creates pressure fluctuations inside the cuff, which can be sensed by the sensor. By pumping air into the cuff, the user's pulse in the hand becomes weaker and weaker and the process of pumping air into the cuff continues until the pressure changes caused by the user's pulse on the pressure gauge sensor reach a low and predetermined value, and it stops urgently at a maximum value. To prevent from getting hurt, the microcontroller then commands a solenoid which releases the airflow, and thus, the air is slowly drained from and deflated the cuff, which eventually leads to the pressure sensor remaining in an operation status until no longer heartbeats can be sensed.
