[0032] The purpose of the present application is to provide a modular user health status monitoring device, method and system, each module can be easily disassembled, and different measurement functions can be easily realized.

[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Embodiment one

[0035] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the modular user health status monitoring device provided by the present application according to one or more embodiments. The monitoring device in the present application comprises: a plurality of functional components, a sensing detection module, a main control module, a storage module, a power module, a display module and a data communication module. The sensing detection module, the storage module, the power module, the display module and the data communication module are all connected with the main control module.

[0036] Among them, the plurality of functional components are connected in series at the head and tail to form a bracelet or a ring band, as shown in Fig. 1, the functional components shown in the present embodiment are four, namely, the first functional component 1, the second functional component 2, the third functional component 3 and the fourth functional component 4, the number of functional components is not limited in the present application, and in actual application process, those skilled in the art can adjust the number according to the demand.

[0037] Specifically, each functional component is connected by elasticity, so that the bracelet or ring has certain stretchability, which is convenient to wear, for example, the internal elastic component can be a spring, which realizes the wearing of different sizes of fingers / wrists through the spring.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 2, the modules are connected and fixed by detachable pins, the pins provide a certain length of deformation space which can be stretched, so that the ring structure can extend in the direction of the longer circumference. Among them, the second functional component and the fourth functional component are each provided with a spring inside the two sides, the deformation length of the spring is slightly smaller than the deformation length of the pin which can be stretched, and provides a force opposite to the deformation direction of the ring structure, so that different sizes of fingers / wrists can be well contacted and worn, and will not fall off. The deformation space of each functional component is provided with a conductive contact / track, which can provide electrical connection of the ring module, including power connection and signal connection between the sensing module and the mainboard.

[0039] In addition, the functional components can be fixed through a lockable structure. The lockable structure provides a deformation space with a certain length that can be stretched, so that the ring-shaped structure can extend in multiple directions in which the circumference is lengthened. The overlapping region of the functional components is provided with a spring, which provides a force to prevent the circumference of the ring-shaped structure from being lengthened, so that fingers / wrists of different sizes can maintain good contact with the wearable device and are not easily detached. The deformation space of each functional component is provided with a flexible signal connection device, such as an electronic wire, which can provide electrical connection of the ring-shaped module, including power connection and signal connection between the sensing module and the mainboard.

[0040] The power module is arranged in the first functional component 1 and the third functional component 3, that is, the modular user health state monitoring device in the embodiment includes two power sources and is detachable.

[0041] The sensing and detecting module and the main control module are arranged in the second functional component 2.

[0042] The storage module, the display module, and the data communication module are arranged in the fourth functional component.

[0043] The arrangement of the modules is only an exemplary embodiment in the embodiment, and the positions of the modules can be adjusted according to actual application.

[0044] Specifically, the sensing and detecting module includes a MEMS gyroscope, an acceleration sensor, a heat flux sensor, a thermal resistance sensor, an electrochemical / fluorescent reaction sensor, a high-frequency electric excitation electrode, a weak electric detection electrode, an ink printing sensor, a photoelectric sensor, and a laser sensor.

[0045] Embodiment two

[0046] For the modular user health state monitoring device provided in embodiment one, another embodiment of the present application provides a modular user health state monitoring method, which includes the following steps.

[0047] Step 1: Obtain a PPG signal.

[0048] Specifically, the PPG signal is obtained through a photoelectric sensor, the sampling frequency is not less than 100 HZ, and the analysis time window is 10 s.

[0049] Step 2: Calculate blood perfusion based on a decision algorithm using the PPG signal.

[0050] Specifically, the blood oxygen saturation Spo2 of the measured part is calculated according to the diffuse reflection principle from the multi-wavelength PPG signal.

[0051] Step 3: Obtain the surface temperature of the local tissue.

[0052] Based on step 2, the surface temperature of the local tissue is measured by a thermal resistance sensor.

[0053] Step 4: Calculate the deep temperature of the measured part based on the blood perfusion and the surface temperature of the local tissue.

[0054] Specifically, the following formula is used:

[0055] Among them, T c represents the deep temperature of the measured part, T0 represents the surface temperature measured by the thermal resistance sensor, q1 is the value measured by the heat flux sensor, k is the tissue thermal conductivity, λ is the tissue density, ω is the blood perfusion, k1 is the thermal resistance influence calibration coefficient, and R is the influence of contact thermal resistance.

[0056] The process of deep temperature transfer to the outside mainly involves three parts of heat transfer analysis: heat transfer analysis within the organism, thermal conductivity at the interface between the organism and the sensor, and acquisition of heat flow into the sensor.

[0057] For heat transfer analysis in organisms, the most widely used biological heat transfer equation is the Penne equation (see Formula 2), which takes into account heat conduction, metabolic heat, and simplifies the energy carried in the blood into an additional heat source term. The Pennes equation is simplified to:

[0058] Among them, ρ t is tissue density, C b is the tissue specific heat capacity, T is the tissue temperature, t is the time, k is the tissue thermal conductivity, ρ b is the blood density, C t is the specific heat capacity of blood, ω b is the blood perfusion rate, T a For blood temperature, this equation accounts for heat conduction and heat storage in living tissue, and simulates biological tissue using solid media with density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. By continuously improving and refining this model, we can better understand the temperature distribution patterns in living organisms and provide more effective tools and methods for biomedical research and applications.

[0059] Assume that the range of the tissue is semi-infinite and the temperature at the far boundary is the core temperature T c And it is stable. At this time, the boundary conditions of the deep tissue are given as follows:

[0060] At the biosensor interface (x = 0), the heat flux must be matched by the thermal contact resistance due to factors such as dry skin and deep wrinkles that may cause air gaps. This, combined with the surface temperature (T0) measured by the sensor, gives the second boundary condition:

[0061] where R is the contact thermal resistance at the interface, assuming that the heat flow into the sensor is not lost in the process of contact, so the heat flow at the interface q0 can be obtained by the sensor and the temperature inside the sensor T0.

[0062] From the above analysis, the simplified Pennes equation and the boundary conditions can be solved as follows:

[0063] where ω b ρ b C b The perfusion rate, density and specific heat capacity of the blood in the tissue, respectively, k is the thermal conductivity of the tissue, and the expression of α is The subscripts skin and c represent the skin and the core, respectively.

[0064] The solution can obtain the tissue temperature distribution under the stable condition as follows:

[0065] The corresponding heat flow at the skin is:

[0066] This value can be obtained by the sensor, and the core temperature T c The relationship between the contact thermal resistance R and the sensor temperature T0 is:

[0067] T c is the deep temperature to be measured, T0 is the surface temperature measured by the thermistor sensor, q1 is the value measured by the heat flux sensor, k is the thermal conductivity of the tissue, λ is the constant related to the density and specific heat capacity of the tissue, ω b is the blood perfusion, k1 is the calibration coefficient affected by the thermal resistance, and R is the influence of the contact thermal resistance. It can be seen that the second term of the formula is related to the blood perfusion, which can reflect the body temperature regulation function inside the human tissue, and the third term is related to the contact thermal resistance, which can express the influence of the contact interface on heat transfer.

[0068] Step 5: calculating the blood glucose value of the user, specifically including:

[0069] S5.1: collecting blood glucose monitoring data as a training set; the blood glucose monitoring data includes: time stamp and corresponding blood glucose value, multi-wavelength PPG original signal, measured part deep temperature Tc, and Spo2 of the part to be measured.

[0070] S5.2: preprocessing the blood glucose monitoring data.

[0071] First, handle missing values, outliers and noise; second, extract useful features from raw data, including time, diet, exercise, medication use, etc. in addition to the training set data mentioned above; finally, create new features such as blood glucose trends, change rates, etc.

[0072] S5.3: Construct multiple deep learning sub-models.

[0073] S5.4: Train the multiple deep learning sub-models based on the pre-processed blood glucose monitoring data.

[0074] The deep learning sub-models can be selected from LSTM, GAN, Bi-GRU and attention mechanism, etc. The training data set is used to train the model, optimize the model parameters, cross-validation and adjust the hyperparameters to avoid overfitting.

[0075] S5.5: Use model fusion algorithm to weight and fuse multiple trained deep learning sub-models to get the final blood glucose prediction model.

[0076] Specifically, use model fusion techniques such as weighted average, voting, etc. to fuse the prediction results of different models to improve overall performance.

[0077] S5.6: Predict the user's blood glucose based on the blood glucose prediction model.

[0078] Use the trained blood glucose prediction model to predict new blood glucose monitoring data. Output the predicted blood glucose value and generate the corresponding prompt information according to the threshold, such as hypoglycemia, normal, hyperglycemia, etc.
