[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510130741.X, filed on February 5, 2025, entitled "Head-mounted device, health monitoring method and apparatus applied to head-mounted device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of smart wearable technology, and more particularly to a head-mounted device, a health monitoring method and apparatus for use in a head-mounted device, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. Background Technology
[0004] Micro-electrical signals in the human body can serve as an important basis for assessing the physiological state of the body and have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. For example, the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is an electrical signal generated by the electrical activity of the heart. It can be reflected on the surface of the human body through conductive tissues and body fluids surrounding the heart. By collecting the ECG signals reflected on the surface of the human body through ECG monitoring equipment, relevant assessment information on the health status of the heart can be obtained based on these ECG signals.
[0005] As people's awareness of health and wellness continues to increase, wearable devices with daily health monitoring functions have entered people's work and daily lives. These wearable devices, such as smartwatches, smart bracelets, smart rings, or smart head-mounted displays, not only have basic health monitoring functions, but also feature intelligence, portability, and compactness.
[0006] Improving the accuracy of health monitoring using head-mounted devices is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This application provides a head-mounted device, a health monitoring method and apparatus applied to the head-mounted device, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product to improve the accuracy of health monitoring performed by the head-mounted device.
[0008] According to one aspect of this application, a head-mounted device is provided, comprising a device body for wearing on the head and a health monitoring system disposed on the device body. The health monitoring system includes at least one health monitoring module, a processing module, a control module, a storage module, and a power module, wherein: the at least one health monitoring module includes at least one detection unit, and the at least one detection unit includes a first detection unit disposed on a first type of surface area of the device body, wherein the first type of surface area is an area on which the device body is easily touched by fingers when worn on the head; the processing module is configured to process the acquired signals of the at least one health monitoring module; the control module is configured to obtain monitoring result information corresponding to each of the at least one health monitoring module based on the acquired signals of the at least one health monitoring module; the storage module is configured to store the monitoring result information corresponding to each of the at least one health monitoring module; and the power module is configured to supply power to the health monitoring system.
[0009] According to the technical solution of this application embodiment, when the main body of the device is worn on the head, the fingers can be conveniently and flexibly mounted on the first detection unit to facilitate the collection of physiological signals by the first detection unit. Since the fingertips have a rich capillary network and can be precisely controlled by the brain, the physiological signals collected by the first detection unit from this area can obtain more accurate and stable monitoring results, thereby improving the accuracy of health monitoring by the head-mounted device.
[0010] In some embodiments, at least one detection unit includes multiple detection units, including a second detection unit disposed on a second type of surface area of the device body, wherein the second type of surface area is the area of the device body that is in close contact with the head when worn on the head. In these embodiments, the health monitoring system can collect physiological signals from the fingertips and the head, collecting richer information and thus providing more accurate monitoring results.
[0011] In some embodiments, the plurality of detection units include a plurality of first detection units and a plurality of second detection units; at least one health monitoring module includes an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring module, the ECG monitoring module including: a left external electrode disposed on the left half of the device body and serving as a first detection unit; a right external electrode disposed on the right half of the device body and serving as a first detection unit; a left internal electrode disposed on the left half of the device body and serving as a second detection unit; and a right internal electrode disposed on the right half of the device body and serving as a second detection unit.
[0012] The ECG monitoring module of this embodiment supports multiple signal acquisition modes and can provide multiple ECG monitoring signals. These multiple signal acquisition modes may include, for example, a left-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, a right-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, a two-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, a fingerless acquisition mode, and a non-wearing acquisition mode. In some embodiments, in the two-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, the ECG monitoring module can acquire multiple ECG monitoring signals. This significantly improves the accuracy and flexibility of ECG monitoring.
[0013] In some embodiments, the left and right external electrodes are respectively one of a metal electrode, a conductive polymer electrode, a wet electrode, or a capacitive electrode encapsulated in an insulating medium; and / or, the left and right internal electrodes are respectively one of a metal electrode, a conductive polymer electrode, a wet electrode, a capacitive electrode encapsulated in an insulating medium, or a comb-shaped electrode. The materials of each electrode can be flexibly selected according to design requirements. Capacitive electrodes, due to being encapsulated in an insulating medium, possess waterproof, insulating, and antistatic properties, and their appearance can be integrated seamlessly with the main body of the device, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing design. Comb-shaped electrodes include multiple comb teeth, which can adapt to the surface shape of the head, avoid hair interference, and thus achieve more reliable contact with the head.
[0014] In some embodiments, at least one health monitoring module includes multiple health monitoring modules, each including an optical heart rate sensor disposed on a first type of surface area of the device body and serving as a first detection unit. Since the fingertips have a rich capillary network and can be precisely controlled by the brain, acquiring relevant physiological signals from this area using an optical heart rate sensor can provide relatively accurate and stable monitoring results.
[0015] In some embodiments, the optical heart rate sensor is integrated with the left or right external electrode, wherein the optical heart rate sensor and the left or right external electrode are arranged side by side; or, the optical heart rate sensor is surrounded by the left or right external electrode. This integration of the optical heart rate sensor with the electrodes of the ECG monitoring module not only saves space and reduces manufacturing costs, but also allows for the simultaneous collection of both heart rate and ECG information with a single finger touch. This results in higher monitoring efficiency for the health monitoring system, greater user convenience, and a better user experience.

[0019] In some embodiments, at least one health monitoring module includes an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring module, and the monitoring result information corresponding to the ECG monitoring module includes single-lead ECG monitoring result information. The control module is further configured to: in response to the target health monitoring module being an ECG monitoring module and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable, fingerless acquisition mode, acquire a single-channel ECG monitoring signal acquired by the ECG monitoring module; calibrate the single-channel ECG monitoring signal based on a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model; and obtain single-lead ECG monitoring result information based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal. In these embodiments of this application, the single-channel ECG monitoring signal is calibrated based on a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model, and then, more accurate single-lead ECG monitoring result information can be obtained based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal. The calibration of the single-channel ECG monitoring signal may include calibrating one or more diagnostic feature parameters.

Detailed Implementation
[0072] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0073] The terminology used in the following embodiments is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to also include expressions such as “one or more” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0074] References to “an embodiment” or “a specific embodiment” as used in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” and variations thereof mean “including, but not limited to,” unless otherwise specifically emphasized.
[0075] An electrocardiogram (ECG) is an electrical signal generated by the heart during its function, recording the electrical activity of the heart muscle during contraction and relaxation. An ECG is a method of recording these signals to assess heart function and health by measuring the electrical signals generated by the heart. Medical-grade ECGs are divided into different leads (in ECG terminology, the placement of electrodes on the body surface and the connection between the electrodes and the amplifier during recording are called ECG leads), corresponding to different angles of observation of the heart. Medical-grade ECG monitoring devices typically use twelve leads; more leads provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of heart function.
[0076] Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method of recording brain signals, reflecting the electrical activity of neurons. It records the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex to reflect the overall electrical activity of the brain.
[0077] Electromyography (EMG) is an electrical signal generated by muscle contraction. It is a method of recording EMG signals to assess muscle function by recording the electrical signals generated during muscle contraction.
[0078] Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a method that involves shining light into the skin and measuring the light scattering caused by blood flow. It can be used to assess cardiovascular parameters such as heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and the degree of arteriosclerosis.
[0079] Head-mounted devices, as a popular wearable product, have the potential to acquire more physiological information because they are worn on the head. Some head-mounted devices utilize multiple sensors or electrodes on the side closest to the head to monitor physiological information such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and cardiovascular data in real time. Currently, the health monitoring technology of these head-mounted devices is not mature, and they suffer from problems such as limited signal dimensions, poor accuracy, and instability due to movement or the tightness of the fit.
[0080] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a head-mounted device, a health monitoring method and apparatus applied to the head-mounted device, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product to improve the accuracy of health monitoring performed by the head-mounted device.

In some of the drawings, eyeglasses-type wearable devices (specific product types may be smart glasses) or eye mask-type wearable devices (specific product types may be smart eye masks, virtual reality devices, augmented reality devices, mixed reality devices, or head-mounted displays, etc.) are used as examples. It can be understood that head-mounted devices may also be devices worn on the head in other ways (such as headphones or helmets, etc.).
[0083] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a head-mounted device 100 (taking an eyeglasses-type wearable device as an example) worn on the head 510 according to some embodiments of this application; Figure 2 illustrates a structural block diagram of a health monitoring system 300 of the head-mounted device 100 according to some embodiments of this application; and Figure 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a head-mounted device 100 (taking an eyeglasses-type wearable device as an example) according to some embodiments of this application. In the embodiments of this application, the head-mounted device 100 includes: a device body 200 for wearing on the head 510, and a health monitoring system 300 disposed on the device body 200. The health monitoring system 300 includes: at least one health monitoring module 310 (two health monitoring modules 310 are shown in Figure 2), a processing module 101, a control module 102, a storage module 103, and a power module 104.
[0084] The health monitoring system 300 includes at least one health monitoring module 310, which includes at least one detection unit 311 (multiple detection units 311 are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 respectively). The at least one detection unit 311 includes a first detection unit 311a disposed on a first type surface area 200a of the device body 200. The first type surface area 200a is an area of the device body 200 that is easy for the fingers 520 to touch when it is worn on the head 510.
[0085] In the health monitoring system 300, the processing module 101 is configured to process the acquired signals from at least one health monitoring module 310. The processing may include, but is not limited to, signal transformation, signal amplification, or noise suppression. For example, in some embodiments, the processing module 101 may amplify the acquired signals from the electrocardiogram monitoring module 105. The control module 102 is configured to obtain monitoring result information corresponding to each of the at least one health monitoring module 310 based on the acquired signals. The storage module 103 is configured to store the monitoring result information corresponding to each of the at least one health monitoring module 310. The power supply module 104 is configured to supply power to the health monitoring system 300.
[0086] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in FIG2, the health monitoring system 300 may further include at least one of a wireless communication module 108 or an output module 109. The wireless communication module 108 is configured to send monitoring result information corresponding to at least one health monitoring module 310 to a mobile terminal. The wireless communication module 108 can establish wireless communication with the mobile terminal, and its type may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth communication module, an infrared communication module, a near field communication (NFC) module, a Wi-Fi communication module, or a cellular mobile communication module. The output module 109 may be configured to output operation prompts about the health monitoring system 300 and monitoring result information corresponding to at least one health monitoring module 310 in a media format. The type of the output module 109 may include, but is not limited to, an audio output module, an image output module, or a multimedia module.
[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the health monitoring system 300 can be independent of other functional systems of the head-mounted device 100, thereby, the processing module 101, control module 102, storage module 103, and power module 104 are used only in the health monitoring system 300. In other embodiments of this application, at least one of the processing module 101, control module 102, storage module 103, and power module 104 can also be integrated with other functional systems of the head-mounted device 100. For example, the head-mounted device 100 may also include a display system, which can be powered by the same power module 104 and use the same storage module 103 as the health monitoring system 300.
[0088] As shown in Figure 3, the main body 200 of this wearable eyewear device is specifically an eyeglass frame 21, which includes a pair of frames 211, a bridge 212 connecting the pair of frames 211, a pair of nose pads 213 located below the bridge 212, and a pair of temples 214. The first detection unit 311a can be located on the outer side of the frame edge of any frame 211, on the bridge 212, or on the outer side of any temple 214. When the main body 200 is worn on the head, the surfaces at these locations serve as the aforementioned first type of surface area 200a, facilitating finger contact. In this embodiment, "outer side" can be understood as the surface of the structure that does not face the head when the main body 200 is worn on the head; correspondingly, "inner side" of the structure can be understood as the surface of the structure that faces the head when the main body 200 is worn on the head.
[0089] In this embodiment, the specific number and type of health monitoring modules 310 included in the health monitoring system 300 are not limited. For example, the health monitoring system 300 may include one or more of the following: an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring module 105, an optical heart rate sensor 106, an electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring module (not shown in the figures), an electromyography (EMG) monitoring module (not shown in the figures), or a bioimpedance impedance (BII) monitoring module (not shown in the figures). Furthermore, the health monitoring system 300 may include multiple health monitoring modules 310 of the same type, such as multiple optical heart rate sensors 106, which are disposed at different locations on the device body 200 to facilitate relevant health monitoring at multiple locations. At least one health monitoring module 310 of the health monitoring system 300 may include at least one detection unit 311, which is used to collect physiological signals when the device body 200 is worn on the head, close to the head or fingers. When at least one health monitoring module 310 of the health monitoring system 300 includes a plurality of first detection units 311a, multiple fingers of the left hand and / or the right hand can be simultaneously mounted on the plurality of first detection units 311a, or simultaneously mounted on some of the plurality of first detection units 311a, or sequentially mounted on some of the plurality of first detection units 311a.
[0090] According to the technical solution of the embodiments of this application, at least one detection unit 311 of the health monitoring system 300 includes a first detection unit 311a disposed on a first type of surface area 200a of the device body 200. The first type of surface area 200a is an area of the device body 200 that is easily accessible to fingers when worn on the head. Thus, when the device body 200 is worn on the head, fingers can conveniently and flexibly rest on the first detection unit 311a to facilitate the collection of physiological signals. The fingertips have a rich capillary network and can be precisely controlled by the brain. Therefore, the collection of physiological signals from this area by the first detection unit 311a can yield more accurate and stable monitoring results compared to related technologies. Therefore, the design of the embodiments of this application can improve the accuracy of health monitoring performed by the head-mounted device 100.
[0091] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments of this application, at least one health monitoring module 310 of the health monitoring system 300 may include multiple detection units 311. In addition to the first detection unit 311a described above, these multiple detection units 311 may also include a second detection unit 311b disposed on a second type of surface region 200b of the device body 200. The second type of surface region 200b is the region of the device body 200 that is in close contact with the head when worn on the head. When the device body 200 is worn on the head, the second detection unit 311b is adapted to be close to the head to collect physiological signals.
[0092] As shown in Figure 3, taking eyeglasses as an example, the second detection unit 311b can be located on the inside of any nose pad 213 or any temple 214. When the main body 200 of the device is worn on the head, the surfaces at these locations, as second type surface areas 200b, are suitable for close contact with the skin of the head.
[0093] The same health monitoring module 310 can include both a first detection unit 311a and a second detection unit 311b, thereby enabling it to collect physiological signals from multiple dimensions and locations, such as physiological signals from the fingertips and the head. In these embodiments, the health monitoring module 310 collects richer information, allowing the health monitoring system 300 to provide more accurate monitoring results.
[0094] As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, Figure 4A illustrates a schematic diagram of a head-mounted device 100 (taking an eyeglass-type wearable device as an example) according to some embodiments of this application, and Figure 4B illustrates a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure and split structure of the head-mounted device 100 at point AA in Figure 4A according to some embodiments of this application. In these embodiments, the device body 200 may include a main body portion 230 and an extension portion 240, wherein the main body portion 230 is worn on the head, the extension portion 240 is detachably connected to the main body portion 230, and at least one detection unit 311 of the health monitoring system 300 is disposed in the extension portion 240 (Figure 4A shows that the first detection unit 311a is disposed in the extension portion 240).
[0095] In these embodiments, the aforementioned first detection unit 311a and / or second detection unit 311b may be provided in the extension portion 240 as required by design. For example, the external electrode, internal electrode, or optical heart rate sensor 106 of the electrocardiogram monitoring module 105 may be provided in the extension portion 240. In addition, the processing module 101, control module 102, storage module 103, and power module 104 may also be provided in the extension portion 240 as required by design. The main body portion 230 may be used to set up related circuits.
[0096] Users can choose to install or not install the extension part 240 according to their usage needs. When the head-mounted device 100 does not have the extension part 240 installed, the health monitoring functions related to the extension part 240 cannot be used. As a result, the head-mounted device 100 has lower power consumption, is lighter, and is more comfortable to wear, making it more suitable for daily wear. When the head-mounted device 100 has the extension part 240 installed, the health monitoring functions related to the extension part 240 can be enabled, allowing the head-mounted device 100 to perform relevant health monitoring.
[0097] In these embodiments, the specific connection method between the extension portion 240 and the main body portion 230 is not limited. For example, they can be detachably connected via a magnetic or snap-fit structure, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly and has little impact on the aesthetics. As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, in some embodiments of this application, the extension portion 240 and the main body portion 230 can be detachably connected via a magnetic structure 241. This not only makes assembly and disassembly more convenient and aesthetically pleasing, but also allows the circuitry of the extension portion 240 to be connected to the circuitry of the main body portion 230 using magnetic contacts.
[0098] In some other embodiments of this application, the main body 200 of the device may also adopt an integrated structural design, with each module of the health monitoring system 300 fixed on it and not detachable.
[0099] Figures 5 and 6 illustrate schematic diagrams of a head-mounted device 100 (taking an eye mask-like wearable device as an example) according to other embodiments of this application. Although the product form and the positions of the first detection unit 311a and the second detection unit 311b differ in these two figures, they share the same inventive concept as the head-mounted device 100 described above. In these embodiments, the device body 200 includes a main functional unit 221 and a wearing fixing part 222 (as shown in the figure, a strap) for fixing the main functional unit 221 to the head. The first detection unit 311a can be located on the outside of the main functional unit 221 or on the outside of the wearing fixing part 222 (shown in Figures 5 and 6 as located on the outside of the main functional unit 221). When the device body 200 is worn on the head, the surfaces at these locations serve as the aforementioned first type of surface area 200a, facilitating finger contact. The second detection unit 311b can be located inside the main functional unit 221 (as shown in Figure 6) or inside the wearing and fixing unit 222 (as shown in Figure 5). When the main body of the device 200 is worn on the head, the surfaces at these locations, as second-type surface areas 200b, are suitable for close contact with the skin of the head. Based on the above design scheme of the health monitoring system 300, this goggle-type wearable device can also achieve high accuracy in health monitoring.
[0100] The following description uses at least one health monitoring module 310 of the health monitoring system 300, including an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring module 105, as an example. Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, in some embodiments of this application, the health monitoring system 300 includes a plurality of first detection units 311a and a plurality of second detection units 311b, and includes an ECG monitoring module 105. This ECG monitoring module 105 includes at least a left external electrode 51, a right external electrode 52, a left internal electrode 53, and a right internal electrode 54. The number and position of each electrode can be flexibly set as needed, and are not limited to the arrangement shown in the figures.
[0101] The left external electrode 51 is located on the left half of the device body 200 and serves as the first detection unit 311a. When the device body 200 is worn on the head 510, the left external electrode 51 is easily accessible by the left hand fingers to collect electrocardiographic signals. Similarly, the right external electrode 52 is located on the right half of the device body 200 and serves as the first detection unit 311a. When the device body 200 is worn on the head 510, the right external electrode 52 is easily accessible by the right hand fingers to collect electrocardiographic signals. The specific material types of the left and right external electrodes 51 and 52 are not limited; for example, they can be one of the following: metal electrodes, conductive polymer electrodes, wet electrodes, or capacitive electrodes encased in an insulating medium. Materials for metal electrodes include, for example, titanium or gold; materials for conductive polymer electrodes include, for example, polypyrrole or polyaniline; materials for wet electrodes include, for example, silver or silver chloride, which can be used with conductive paste; capacitive electrodes, because they are wrapped in an insulating medium, have waterproof, insulating, and antistatic properties, and can be integrated with the main body of the equipment 200 in appearance, making them more aesthetically pleasing.
[0102] The left inner electrode 53 is located on the left half of the device body 200 and serves as the second detection unit 311b. When the device body 200 is worn on the head 510, the left inner electrode 53 can be close to the head 510 to collect electrocardiographic signals from the head 510. The right inner electrode 54 is located on the right half of the device body 200 and serves as the second detection unit 311b. When the device body 200 is worn on the head 510, the right inner electrode 54 can be close to the head 510 to collect electrocardiographic signals from the head 510. The left inner electrode 53 and the right inner electrode 54 are respectively one of the following: metal electrode, conductive polymer electrode, wet electrode, capacitive electrode wrapped with insulating medium, or comb electrode 55 (as shown in Figure 5). The comb electrode 55 includes multiple comb teeth, which can adapt to the surface shape of the head 510 and avoid hair interference, thereby making more reliable contact with the head 510.
[0103] The ECG monitoring module 105 of this embodiment can support multiple signal acquisition modes and provide multiple ECG monitoring signals. In some embodiments, the multiple signal acquisition modes may include, for example, a left-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, a right-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, a two-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, a fingerless acquisition mode, and a non-wearing acquisition mode.
[0104] In the wearable state with the left hand finger attached to the acquisition mode, the main body of the device 200 is worn on the head 510, with the left hand finger attached to the left external electrode 51, and the left internal electrode 53 and the right internal electrode 54 close to the head 510 so as to be attached to the head 510.
[0105] In the right-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, the main body of the device 200 is worn on the head 510, with the right-hand fingers mounted on the right external electrode 52, and the left-hand inner electrode 53 and the right-hand inner electrode 54 close to the head 510 so as to be mounted on the head 510.
[0106] In the wearable state with both fingers attached for data acquisition, the main body of the device 200 is worn on the head 510, with the left hand fingers attached to the left external electrode 51, the right hand fingers attached to the right external electrode 52, and the left inner electrode 53 and the right inner electrode 54 close to the head 510 so as to be attached to the head 510.
[0107] In the wearable, fingerless data acquisition mode, the main body of the device 200 is worn on the head 510, and the left inner electrode 53 and the right inner electrode 54 are close to the head 510 to be attached to the head 510.
[0108] In the non-wearable data acquisition mode, multiple electrodes among the left outer electrode 51, right outer electrode 52, left inner electrode 53, and right inner electrode 54 can be touched with fingers and / or other parts of the body to achieve data acquisition.
[0109] In this embodiment, the number of ECG monitoring signals that the ECG monitoring module 105 can collect may vary depending on the number of electrodes, their placement, and the specific design of the circuit. This embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.
[0110] In some embodiments, in the wearable state with both fingers attached for acquisition mode, the ECG monitoring module 105 can acquire multiple ECG monitoring signals according to its circuit design. These multiple ECG monitoring signals may include at least two of the following monitoring signals:
[0111] The first ECG monitoring signal is obtained based on the potential difference between the fingers of the left and right hands, which is equivalent to the Type I lead in the internationally used lead system. The left external electrode 51 is set as the positive terminal in the circuit, and the right external electrode 52 is set as the negative terminal in the circuit.
[0112] The second electrocardiogram monitoring signal is obtained based on the potential difference between the right hand fingers and the head 510, wherein the right external electrode 52 is set as the positive electrode in the circuit, and the left internal electrode 53 and the right internal electrode 54 are set as the negative electrodes in the circuit.
[0113] The third electrocardiogram monitoring signal is obtained based on the potential difference between the left hand fingers and the head 510. The left external electrode 51 is set as the positive electrode in the circuit, and the left internal electrode 53 and the right internal electrode 54 are set as the negative electrodes in the circuit.
[0114] The fourth electrocardiogram monitoring signal is obtained based on the potential difference between the left hand fingers, right hand fingers and head 510. The right external electrode 52 is set as the negative electrode in the circuit, and the left external electrode 51, left internal electrode 53 and right internal electrode 54 are set as the positive electrodes in the circuit.
[0115] The fifth electrocardiogram monitoring signal is obtained based on the potential difference between the left hand fingers, right hand fingers and head 510. The left external electrode 51 is set as the negative electrode in the circuit, and the right external electrode 52, left internal electrode 53 and right internal electrode 54 are set as the positive electrodes in the circuit.
[0116] The sixth electrocardiogram monitoring signal is obtained based on the potential difference between the left hand fingers, right hand fingers and head 510. The left external electrode 51 and the right external electrode 52 are set as positive electrodes in the circuit, and the left internal electrode 53 and the right internal electrode 54 are set as negative electrodes in the circuit.
[0117] Multiple ECG monitoring signals can be acquired simultaneously, sequentially, or selectively, providing multi-dimensional ECG physiological signals and thus further improving the accuracy of ECG health monitoring using head-mounted devices.
[0118] As shown in any of Figures 1 to 3, 4A, 5 and 6, in some embodiments of this application, the health monitoring system 300 includes a plurality of health monitoring modules 310. In addition to the electrocardiogram monitoring module 105 of the above embodiments, the plurality of health monitoring modules 310 may also include an optical heart rate sensor 106 disposed on a first type of surface area 200a of the device body 200 and used as a first detection unit 311a.
[0119] The optical heart rate sensor 106, for example, can be a PPG sensor, which can be used to assess cardiovascular parameters such as heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and the degree of arteriosclerosis. The PPG sensor mainly consists of a light-emitting diode and a photodetector. Its working principle is that the photodetector measures the change in the intensity of light reflected from the skin surface to form a corresponding PPG electrical signal.
[0120] In these embodiments, the optical heart rate sensor 106 serves as a first detection unit 311a, which is located on a first type of surface area 200a of the device body 200, thereby facilitating finger contact. Since the fingertip has a rich capillary network and its movements can be precisely controlled by the brain, the optical heart rate sensor 106 can collect relevant physiological signals from this area, thereby obtaining more accurate and stable monitoring results.
[0121] Referring to Figure 4A, in some embodiments of this application, the optical heart rate sensor 106 can be integrated with the left external electrode 51 or the right external electrode 52, and they can be fabricated on the same substrate 107. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the left external electrode 51 and an optical heart rate sensor 106 are integrated on the outer side of the left temple 214, and the right external electrode 52 and an optical heart rate sensor 106 are integrated on the outer side of the right temple 214, wherein the optical heart rate sensor 106 is arranged side by side with the left external electrode 51 or the right external electrode 52.
[0122] Figure 7 illustrates a schematic diagram of a head-mounted device 100 (taking an eyeglasses-type wearable device as an example) according to some embodiments of this application. In these embodiments, a left external electrode 51 and an optical heart rate sensor 106 are integrated on the outer side of the left temple 214, and a right external electrode 52 and an optical heart rate sensor 106 are integrated on the outer side of the right temple 214. The optical heart rate sensor 106 is designed to be surrounded by either the left external electrode 51 or the right external electrode 52.
[0123] The integrated electrode setup of the optical heart rate sensor 106 and the electrocardiogram monitoring module 105 not only saves space and reduces manufacturing costs, but also allows for the simultaneous collection of physiological information on both heart rate and electrocardiogram through a single finger touch. This results in higher monitoring efficiency for the health monitoring system 300, greater user convenience, and a better user experience.
[0124] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this application, when the health monitoring system is designed to include multiple optical heart rate sensors, these multiple optical heart rate sensors may include, in addition to the optical heart rate sensor 106 used as the first detection unit 311a, an optical heart rate sensor disposed on the second type of surface area of the device body and used as the second detection unit (these embodiments are not illustrated in the accompanying drawings). This application does not specifically limit this aspect. Furthermore, when the health monitoring system is designed to include multiple optical heart rate sensors, these multiple optical heart rate sensors may also support multiple signal acquisition modes based on their specific settings. For example, they may be one of the following: left-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, right-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, two-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode, no-finger-mounted acquisition mode, or non-wearing acquisition mode. The user's mounting operation is similar to that of ECG monitoring and will not be repeated here.
[0125] In some embodiments of this application, the control module 102 can be configured to: determine at least one target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode, wherein the signal acquisition mode is one of the following: left-hand finger acquisition mode in wear state, right-hand finger acquisition mode in wear state, two-hand finger acquisition mode in wear state, no-finger acquisition mode in wear state, or acquisition mode in non-wear state; and control the target health monitoring module to perform signal acquisition based on the signal acquisition mode.
[0126] In these embodiments, the health monitoring system 300 provides a variety of signal acquisition modes, which can collect physiological information with or without the user's awareness, thereby providing the user with more comprehensive and better health monitoring protection.
[0127] In some embodiments, the control module 102 can be configured to: in response to receiving selection information for a health monitoring module and selection information for a signal acquisition mode, determine the target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode based on the selection information for the health monitoring module and the signal acquisition mode. For example, in one application scenario, a user has a comprehensive health monitoring need for electrocardiogram (ECG). The user can use the interactive functions of the head-mounted device 100 (such as voice interaction or touch input functions) or the interactive functions of a mobile terminal that has established a wireless connection with the head-mounted device 100 (such as voice interaction or touch input functions) to manually input selection information, such as selecting "ECG monitoring module" as the target health monitoring module and "wearing state two-hand finger-mounted acquisition mode" as its signal acquisition mode.
[0128] In some embodiments, the control module 102 can also be configured to: in response to the triggering of at least one detection unit, determine the target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode based on the acquisition signals of at least one detection unit. For example, referring to FIG1 as a reference example, in one application scenario, the head-mounted device 100 is an eyeglasses-type wearable device. When it is worn on the head 510, the user can consciously or unconsciously place their fingers on the first detection unit 311a, or they can choose not to place their fingers on it. The control module 102 can automatically identify the target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode based on the quality of the signals acquired by each detection unit 311. For example, when the contact impedance of each external electrode and each internal electrode of the ECG monitoring module 105 is less than the impedance threshold, the signal quality can be considered to be up to standard. Therefore, the control module 102 can determine that "ECG monitoring module 105" is the target health monitoring module to be triggered, and "wearing state two-hand finger-placement acquisition mode" is its signal acquisition mode.
[0129] In some embodiments of this application, the monitoring result information corresponding to the ECG monitoring module may include fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring result information, thereby the health monitoring system 300 can output the fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring result information.
[0130] In these embodiments, the control module 102 can be configured to: in response to the target health monitoring module being an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring module and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable mode with both fingers attached to the device, acquire multiple ECG monitoring signals acquired by the ECG monitoring module; obtain a fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring signal based on the multiple ECG monitoring signals; and obtain fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring result information based on the fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring signal.
[0131] The internationally accepted lead system generally includes three standard limb leads (types I, II, and III, with electrodes placed in the right arm, left arm, and left leg), three augmented limb leads (aVR, aVL, and aVF, with electrodes placed in the right arm, left arm, and left leg), and six precordial leads (types V1 to V6; electrodes for V1 and V2 are located above the right ventricle, electrodes for V4 to V6 are located above the left ventricle, and the V3 lead is located above the interventricular septum). Limb and precordial leads are used for clinical monitoring to determine cardiac status.
[0132] Since the health monitoring system 300 of the head-mounted device 100 primarily collects physiological signals from the fingers and head, there are certain differences in monitoring angle compared to the internationally accepted lead system. As described earlier, the ECG monitoring module, in wearable mode with both fingers attached, can collect more ECG monitoring signals, resulting in richer information. Therefore, based on program settings and user parameters such as height, weight, age, and BMI, the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals can be fitted and transformed using models such as linear models or machine learning models to obtain a fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring signal. Subsequently, based on this fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring signal, fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring results can be obtained. This fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring results can provide a reference for users or medical professionals, assisting them in making relevant ECG diagnostic judgments.
[0133] In some embodiments of this application, the monitoring result information corresponding to the ECG monitoring module may further include single-lead ECG monitoring result information. The control module 102 may be configured to: in response to the target health monitoring module being an ECG monitoring module and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable, fingerless acquisition mode, acquire the single-channel ECG monitoring signal acquired by the ECG monitoring module; calibrate the single-channel ECG monitoring signal based on a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model; and obtain single-lead ECG monitoring result information based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal.
[0134] Referring to Figure 1, when the ECG monitoring module 105 is in the wearable, fingerless acquisition mode, it can acquire a single ECG monitoring signal through its left inner electrode 53 and right inner electrode 54, which are close to the head 510. The advantage of this acquisition mode is that it does not require active finger placement, thus allowing continuous signal acquisition without the user's awareness. However, in this mode, because the left inner electrode 53 and right inner electrode 54 are relatively close to each other at the acquisition site on the head 510 (significantly smaller than the distance between the left and right fingers), the quality of the acquired single ECG monitoring signal may be poor. Furthermore, it is easily affected by movement or the tightness of the garment, which can further degrade the acquired signal.
[0135] In these embodiments of this application, the single-channel ECG monitoring signal is calibrated based on a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model. Subsequently, based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal, more accurate single-lead ECG monitoring results can be obtained. The calibration of the single-channel ECG monitoring signal may include calibrating one or more diagnostic feature parameters. These diagnostic feature parameters may include, but are not limited to, QT interval or QRS duration. The QT interval refers to the time interval from the start of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave in the ECG, reflecting the time of ventricular depolarization and repolarization, and is an important parameter for assessing cardiac electrophysiological function. The QRS complex is an important waveform in the ECG, representing the potential changes during ventricular depolarization, i.e., the changes in the ECG during the contraction of the left and right ventricles.
[0136] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model can be obtained in the following manner: in response to the target health monitoring module being an ECG monitoring module and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable mode with both hands on the fingers for acquisition, multiple ECG monitoring signals acquired by the ECG monitoring module are obtained; and in response to the multiple ECG monitoring signals meeting the signal quality standards, a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model is obtained based on the multiple ECG monitoring signals.
[0137] The calibration model for this single-channel ECG monitoring signal can be obtained through a single calibration operation by the user, or each time the ECG monitoring module is in wear mode with both hands' fingers on the acquisition screen, or when certain calibration activation conditions are met.
[0138] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 as examples, in some embodiments, the signal acquisition mode of the ECG monitoring module 105, in addition to the acquisition modes described above, may also include a continuous acquisition mode without fingers in wearable condition. When the user selects this mode, the workflow of the health monitoring system 300 is as follows:
[0139] The output module 109 outputs operation prompts, prompting the user to wear the head-mounted device 100 and place their fingers on the left external electrode 51 and right external electrode 52 respectively for a preset duration, such as 30 seconds.
[0140] During the process of the user performing the above setup and maintaining the preset duration, the ECG monitoring module 105 acquires multiple ECG monitoring signals, as described above.
[0141] Determine whether the signal quality of the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals meets the standard. If it does, obtain a calibration model for the single-channel ECG monitoring signal based on the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals and the transfer function relationship between the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals and the single-channel ECG monitoring signal. Otherwise, output operation prompts through the output module 109 to prompt the user to re-mount, or adjust the mounting posture and / or increase the mounting time.
[0142] After obtaining the calibration model of the single-channel ECG monitoring signal, the output module 109 outputs operation prompt information to prompt the user to cancel the binding of both fingers;
[0143] Subsequently, in the wearable state with fingerless continuous acquisition mode, the single-channel ECG monitoring signal collected by the ECG monitoring module 105 is continuously acquired; the single-channel ECG monitoring signal is calibrated based on the single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model; and based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal, the single-lead ECG monitoring result information is obtained.
[0144] In some embodiments of this application, when the health monitoring system is designed to include multiple optical heart rate sensors, and the multiple optical heart rate sensors include an optical heart rate sensor used as a first detection unit and an optical heart rate sensor used as a second detection unit, a calibration and operation method similar to that described above can be used to calibrate the acquired signal in the fingerless continuous acquisition mode in the wearable state, thereby obtaining more accurate monitoring results.
[0145] In other embodiments of this application, similar calibration and operation methods as described above can be used to calibrate some fusion indicators in the fingerless continuous acquisition mode of the wearable state, in order to improve the accuracy of monitoring these fusion indicators and make them suitable for long-term tracking and monitoring. These fusion indicators may include, but are not limited to, PTT or PWV. PTT refers to the speed at which the pressure wave propagates along the aortic wall from one point to another with each heartbeat. PWV refers to the speed at which the pressure wave propagates along the aortic wall when blood flows out of the heart with each heartbeat.
[0146] As shown in Figure 8, some embodiments of this application also provide a health monitoring method 400 applied to the aforementioned head-mounted device 100, which includes the following steps S401 to S404.
[0147] In step S401, at least one target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode are determined. The signal acquisition mode is one of the following: left hand finger acquisition mode in wearable state, right hand finger acquisition mode in wearable state, both hands finger acquisition mode in wearable state, no finger acquisition mode in wearable state, or acquisition mode in non-wearable state.
[0148] In step S402, the target health monitoring module performs signal acquisition based on the signal acquisition mode.
[0149] In step S403, the acquisition signal of the target health monitoring module is obtained.
[0150] In step S404, based on the signals collected by the target health monitoring module, the corresponding monitoring result information is obtained.
[0151] The health monitoring method 400 of this embodiment, based on the design of the aforementioned head-mounted device 100, can provide a variety of signal acquisition modes, and can collect physiological information when the user is aware of it or not, thereby providing the user with more comprehensive and better health monitoring protection.
[0152] In some embodiments, step S401 above may include:
[0153] In response to receiving selection information for the health monitoring module and signal acquisition mode, the target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode are determined based on the selection information for the health monitoring module and the signal acquisition mode; or
[0154] In response to the activation of at least one detection unit, the target health monitoring module to be activated and its signal acquisition mode are determined based on the acquisition signal from at least one detection unit.
[0155] For example, in one application scenario, a user has a comprehensive health monitoring need for electrocardiogram (ECG). They can use the interactive functions of the head-mounted device (such as voice interaction or touch input) or the interactive functions of a mobile terminal that establishes a wireless connection with the head-mounted device (such as voice interaction or touch input) to manually input and select information. For example, they can use the "ECG monitoring module" as the target health monitoring module and the "wearing status with both hands finger-mounted acquisition mode" as its signal acquisition mode.
[0156] For example, in another application scenario, after the head-mounted device is worn on the head, the user may consciously or unconsciously place their finger on the first detection unit, or may not place their finger on it. According to the health monitoring method 400 of this application embodiment, the target health monitoring module to be triggered and its signal acquisition mode can be automatically identified based on the quality of the signals collected by each detection unit.
[0157] In some embodiments, the at least one health monitoring module mentioned above includes an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring module, and the health monitoring method 400 may further include:
[0158] In response to the target health monitoring module being an ECG monitoring module, and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable mode with both hands' fingers attached to the acquisition mode, the system acquires multiple ECG monitoring signals collected by the ECG monitoring module.
[0159] Based on multi-channel ECG monitoring signals, a fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring signal was obtained; and
[0160] Based on the fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring signal, the fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring result information is obtained.
[0161] The fitted standard multi-lead ECG monitoring results can provide a reference for users or medical professionals, assisting them in making ECG-related diagnostic judgments.
[0162] In some embodiments, the at least one health monitoring module mentioned above includes the aforementioned electrocardiogram monitoring module, and the health monitoring method 400 may further include:
[0163] In response to the target health monitoring module being an ECG monitoring module and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable, fingerless acquisition mode, a single-channel ECG monitoring signal acquired by the ECG monitoring module is obtained.
[0164] Based on a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model, the single-channel ECG monitoring signal is calibrated; and
[0165] Based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal, the single-lead ECG monitoring result information is obtained.
[0166] When the ECG monitoring module is in wearable, fingerless acquisition mode, it can acquire a single-channel ECG monitoring signal by using its left and right inner electrodes close to the head. The advantage of this acquisition mode is that it does not require active finger placement, allowing for continuous signal acquisition without the user's awareness. However, because the left and right inner electrodes are relatively close to each other on the head (significantly smaller than the distance between left and right fingers), the quality of the acquired single-channel ECG monitoring signal may be poor. Furthermore, it is easily affected by movement or the tightness of the garment, further deteriorating the signal. In these embodiments of this application, the single-channel ECG monitoring signal is calibrated based on a single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model. Therefore, based on the calibrated single-channel ECG monitoring signal, more accurate single-lead ECG monitoring results can be obtained.
[0167] In some embodiments, the calibration model for a single-channel ECG monitoring signal is obtained in the following manner:
[0168] In response to the target health monitoring module being an ECG monitoring module, and its signal acquisition mode being a wearable mode with both hands' fingers attached for acquisition, the system acquires multiple ECG monitoring signals collected by the ECG monitoring module; and
[0169] In response to the requirement that the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals meet the signal quality standards, a calibration model for the single-channel ECG monitoring signal is obtained based on the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals and the transfer function relationship between the multi-channel ECG monitoring signals and the single-channel ECG monitoring signal.
[0170] In these embodiments of the present application, the single-channel ECG monitoring signal calibration model can be obtained through a single calibration operation by the user, or it can be obtained each time the ECG monitoring module is in wearable mode with both hands' fingers in the acquisition mode, or it can be obtained when certain calibration activation conditions are met.
