Technical field
The present invention relates to checkout gear and detection method thereof that a kind of Woundless blood sugar or other blood constituents detect, specifically, relate to a kind of by measuring the body surface electrical impedance and realizing the checkout gear and the detection method thereof of blood glucose or other blood constituent non-invasive measurement with the variation of pulse wave.
Background technology
Diabetes are a kind of chronic metabolic diseases, and its cause of disease is heredity, hypoinsulinism or insulin hypofrontality.Disease shows as blood sugar concentration at first and raises, and then other organs of harmful to human and system, causes severe complications such as renal failure, blind, heart disease, extremity peripheral neuralgia, gangrene even excision.Diabetes have become the killer of serious threat human health.World's diabetics in 2000 is that 1.8 hundred million, 3,200,000 people die from diabetes and complication thereof.Expectation the year two thousand thirty world's diabetics will reach 3.7 hundred million, and China's diabetics will reach forty-two million, occupy the second in the world, and the expenditure that is used for the treatment of diabetes will become society and heavy family burden.At present also not have thoroughly to effect a radical cure the medical approaches of diabetes, so monitor blood sugar concentration frequently, the consumption of in time adjusting hypoglycemic medicine is to preventing and what alleviate complication is vital.Conventional detection need be taken a blood sample, and uses instruments such as biochemistry, optics and analyzes, and not only complex operation, meeting cause pain to the patient, but also the danger of infecting other disease is arranged, and have limited the frequency and the scope of application of blood sugar test.Blood glucose noinvasive detection technique not only can be carried out real-time, continuous, safe, painless self-monitoring to blood sugar level, and do not need consumable goods, can reduce testing expense, will bring revolutionary progress, more and more be subject to people's attention to the prevention and the treatment of diabetes.
In recent years, along with progressively going deep into of every technical foundation theoretical research and enriching day by day of experimental result, screening to several technology of tool DEVELOPMENT PROSPECT is finished substantially, and they can be divided into three major types: optical radiation technology, bio-impedance technology and humor collecting technology.
The optical radiation technology comprises middle near infrared spectroscopy, far red light spectrometry, polarimetry, light scattering coefficient method etc., and what wherein research input was maximum is near infrared spectroscopy.The ultimate principle of optical radiation method is the light energy that applies certain wavelength at the human body specific part, by measuring tissue parameters such as the absorption of light energy, reflection, scattering, polarization are changed, set up the relation of blood constituent such as blood glucose and these parameters, handle the concentration that calculates blood glucose.These methods all have tempting research and commercial promise, and also facing simultaneously many great technical barriers needs to solve, and distinct issues are that the spectral device that is used to detect must often be calibrated again.The instrument that many people use can need be set up specific many reference amounts forecast model to each experimenter owing to the difference of compositions such as moisture, fat, muscle, skin, skeleton in each human body.Even same experimenter, more than each composition make also that with the regular variation of physiological process frequent calibration is inevitable, and the process of each calibration was both tediously long and wound arranged, common 1-2 consuming time hour and need continuous blood extracting assay.
The humor collecting method comprises iontophoresis method and interstitial fluid transdermal collecting method.The iontophoresis method is to apply weak current at skin surface, will have body fluid to ooze out near the electrode.Concentration of glucose in these body fluid is relevant with blood sugar concentration, and the concentration of glucose in the measurement transudate can be extrapolated the content of glucose in the blood.Interstitial fluid transdermal collecting method is to adopt the method for micropin, chemistry or laser to collect the skin surface cell interstitial fluid, measures the concentration of glucose of these liquid then.The shortcoming one of these two kinds of methods be the humor collecting time more than 20 minutes, can not reflect the variation of blood sugar concentration in real time; The 2nd, skin there is certain damage.
The detection technique of the biomedical information that the bio-impedance technology is a kind of electrical characteristics of utilizing biological tissue and organ and Changing Pattern extraction thereof and Human Physiology, pathological condition is relevant.The bio-electrical impedance technology is extracted is the electrical characteristics information that the changes of function with tissue and organ interrelates, blood, gas, body fluid and different tissues composition and variation thereof etc. are had unique resolving ability, therefore can utilize the biological impedance technology to realize the non-invasive measurement of blood glucose and other composition.
Impedance is meant that material is to passing through whole inhibitions of alternating current wherein.When this alternating current put on blood, the inorganic solute as the glucose wherein will absorption of electromagnetic energy, thereby caused impedance to raise, and its size is relevant with concentration of glucose.Glucose is also inequality to the influence of blood impedance under the different frequency.Therefore,, suitably select several frequencies, can accurately obtain blood sugar concentration by measuring the impedance of blood.The A.Caduff of Pendragon company etc. carries out sweep measurement with the 0.1MHz step-length to the impedance of arm in the 1-200MHz frequency range, and compare with the blood sugar concentration that records, developed the impedance spectrum blood sugar monitoring instrument, can be worn at and monitor change of blood sugar on the wrist in real time.U.S. Pat 6517482 (H.R.Elden etc.) discloses a kind of blood glucose personal monitoring instrument, adopts the 20kHz frequency, has provided blood sugar concentration G=0.31 * modulus of impedance value+0.24 * phase angle, and the measuring point is a forearm.
Impedance method blood glucose non-invasive measurement method instrument cost is low, the measuring accuracy height, and required time is short.In addition, if suitably select frequency, can also detect the concentration of a plurality of compositions such as cholesterol simultaneously.Therefore, impedance spectrum measurement Woundless blood sugar detects and has very vast potential for future development.
Human body impedance is subjected to the influence of skin, blood circulation situation, blood electrolyte and other many factors that become to grade equally, and these factors are referred to as individual variation.Because the existence of individual variation makes the monitoring of impedance spectrum Woundless blood sugar have very large deviation, signal to noise ratio and sensitivity to be difficult to improve.
