Description

The utility model relates to medical devices and systems and is recommended to be used to determine the main indicators and assess the health status of the patients themselves.

One of the problems in the field of healthcare is the insufficiently effective examination of the health status of citizens. This is due: firstly, with the low efficiency of the work of the personnel of medical institutions in the prevention and treatment of diseases; secondly, inadequately qualified medical staff; thirdly, with the overpriced cost of a health survey and limited time resources for examining a particular population group.

When examining the state of health, the correct diagnosis and the appointment of effective treatment, the patient needs to contact several narrow-profile medical specialists. To simplify the health examination procedure, a large number of specialized information programs, devices and mobile medical applications are being developed, and the range of services for conducting a comprehensive examination of the patient’s health is being expanded.

The development of devices that allow a comprehensive assessment of the state of health is an urgent task, the solution of which will bring medicine to a qualitatively new level of development and provide opportunities for the fearless use of such devices by the consumer both in public places and at home, when in real time it can be carried out determining the state of health by the patient himself, its assessment and receiving recommendations based on the results.

A device "Kiosk with automated diagnostic eye examination and a means of performing treatment" (analogue) [1], including the input / output unit information (1), consisting of a display (2), a payment device (3) and a printer (4), and unit for measuring physiological parameters (5), consisting of an eyepiece module (6), a front sensor module (7) and a refractometer module (8). The block diagram of the device is shown in FIG. 1, the appearance of the device is shown in FIG. 2.

According to the description of the known device [1] and FIG. 1 and 2, the user interacts with a device that contains: a seat fixed to the working body at a distance that provides unhindered access and placement of the user in accordance with the required standards for an effective examination of the eye; a digital display that displays all the information of interest regarding user data and the results of the survey; payment device for accepting cash / cashless payments for the provided service.

The disadvantages of the known device include the fact that it implements the approach and uses the elements of the device, intended only for the diagnosis of vision.

Closest to the claimed utility model is the "Healthcare Test Kiosk" (prototype) [2], which includes an information input / output unit (1), consisting of a display (2), a payment module (3), a printer (4), an Internet module ( 9), and a unit for measuring physiological parameters (10), consisting of a weight platform (11), cuffs (12). The block diagram of this device is shown in FIG. 3, the appearance of the device of FIG. four.

The control of the known prototype device [2] is provided by the controller, which allows to identify the patient, as well as conduct a comprehensive comprehensive examination of the eyes, issue appropriate recommendations and prescribe treatment. Information about the results of the survey is recorded by the information processor, which, in turn, passes it to the controller and is displayed on the display and / or paper.

According to the description of the prototype device and the circuit depicted in FIG. 4, the user can interact with a device that contains: a seat fixed to the working building at a distance that provides unhindered access and placement of the user in accordance with the required standards for monitoring the patient’s body condition; a weight platform located in the seat housing to determine the weight of the patient; shoulder cuff, rigidly fixed to the device body, for recording blood pressure; digital display showing the results of the examination. Device management is promptly provided by a controller that allows you to capture the basic user data, monitor the health status of the body, and issue appropriate recommendations. Information about the results of the survey is recorded and stored by the controller, which displays it on the display and / or paper. In addition, the device provides free access to the Internet.

The disadvantages of this device are the inability to measure more indicators that reflect human health, designed to effectively diagnose and issue recommendations on a healthy lifestyle, such as temperature, level of fat, bone and muscle mass, water and internal fat level, physical rating, basal level metabolism, biological age, respiratory rate and pitch. The listed parameters are significant for setting a diagnostic conclusion and issuing recommendations on a vision of a healthy lifestyle. In addition, this device does not allow to give recommendations about a healthy lifestyle and to make an appointment with a doctor.

The main objective of the proposed utility model proposed by the authors is to expand the functionality of the device for a comprehensive assessment of the state of health, which provides the solution to the following problems:

Carrying out a “preliminary examination” of the user to identify the basic physiological parameters (age, height, weight, the presence of chronic diseases) to identify the most informative parameters of diagnostic measurements and determine the necessary control program. Under the manager means a program of medical examination of the user to conduct an examination of the basic physiological parameters of life with the most complete study of the problem (critical) conditions of individual organs, systems or the body as a whole. Based on the information received and the results of the preliminary examination, the control program allows you to get the most complete and reliable information about the possible causes of deviations in the health status of the patient or his individual organs (systems) and recommendations for their “elimination”.

Measurement of vital vital signs, such as blood pressure and pulse, temperature, body weight, fat, bone and muscle mass, water and internal fat, physical rating, basal metabolic rate, biological age, respiratory rate and pitch.

Statement of preliminary conclusion and delivery of the results of the survey in paper and electronic form.

The proposed device includes a digital infrared thermometer, an analyzer of fat mass and weight, a blood pressure measuring device with a cuff with an automatic wrist loop and an analyzer of the state of the respiratory system.

Thus, the proposed device is aimed at the implementation of a complete operational and effective examination conducted by the patient. This eliminates the long queues for obtaining primary health care and / or reduces the term for a medical examination (the result can be obtained immediately after measurements).

For an adequate understanding of the proposed utility model, the following accompanying descriptions and images are presented:

FIG. 5 is a structural diagram of the proposed technical solution of the device.

FIG. 6 - appearance of the proposed device.

The structural diagram of the proposed technical solution - a device for a comprehensive assessment of the state of health - is shown in FIG. 5 and includes an information input / output unit (1) consisting of a display (2), a payment module (3), a printer (4), an Internet module (9), a built-in keyboard (13), an SMS / GSM module (14), and a unit for measuring physiological parameters (15), consisting of a weight platform (11), wrist cuff (12), a module for measuring fat mass (16), a module for measuring bone mass (17) and a module for measuring muscle mass (18), a module for measuring physical rating (19), a module for measuring the level of basal metabolism (20), a module for measuring body temperature (21), a module for measuring respiratory rate (22), and a module measuring pitch (23).

The user's working area provides a set of necessary conditions for conducting a comprehensive examination of the patient and is an area of the space of the workplace.

An autonomous station is the main element of the entire diagnostic complex and is structurally a multifunctional device that performs the functions associated with monitoring and controlling the user's health status and analyzing the results obtained by known methods and algorithms. This technical solution involves a comprehensive user survey in four stages:

- preliminary questionnaire (examination) to identify existing diseases and basic parameters of the user's body (height, age, etc.),

- conducting a comprehensive survey according to a given survey method, based on the obtained survey data,

- analysis and presentation of a comprehensive assessment of the results of the survey with recommendations for a healthy lifestyle.

The cantilever case consists of high-performance information channels resulting from the connection of measuring devices (a blood pressure measuring device, an analyzer of fat mass and weight, a thermometer, a device for recording respiratory organs) with a “control matrix” - a physiological and user interface. A “control matrix” is a combination of software and control tools that ensure the effective operation of modules, their interaction, as well as communication with external devices (printing device, display, etc.).

The key modules of the proposed device include:

1. A hardware-software module is a multifunctional system containing a “control” program for the preparation and launch of built-in medical devices, designed to solve the problems of medical examination. The system consists of a set of programs for a device for measuring blood pressure, a temperature meter, an analyzer of fat mass and weight, and a respiratory state meter.

2. Diagnostic module - an operating module that ensures the operation of the previously indicated devices for recording and measuring parameters, transmitting current information to the information processing block device with the possibility of printing.

Thus, an autonomous station contains a unit that determines the main operation of the entire terminal, an operational-functional type of user and physiological interfaces, independent of each other and controlled by a processor or controller with random access memory (RAM). Moreover, the controller performs a logical one or more sequentially assigned "control" programs.

A “control” program may be software or control logic. At the same time, RAM supports a local archive of information about a specific user, for example, the results of the last examination and other information.

The local archive includes tracking the reading of health indications by basic vital signs, such as blood pressure and pulse, temperature, fat mass level, total body weight, pitch level, respiratory rate and some other parameters.

Thus, the terminal operation algorithm consists in sequentially performing the following steps.

The first stage is based on a preliminary survey (examination) by such parameters as age, height, and the presence of chronic diseases.

At the second stage, a list of the basic parameters of life for the survey is compiled. Such a list can be compiled on the basis of information from a questionnaire related to chronic diseases. The second stage plays a significant role, since the “control” program is selected here and preparations are made for launching a diagnostic module directly connected to the hardware of the complex.

At the third stage, a diagnostic study is conducted on the selected physiological parameters.

The fourth stage is the final, at which the user receives the result of the survey.

The first and fourth stages are functionally provided by the user interface, and the second and third, respectively, physiological.

FIG. 6 reflects the appearance of the device. The terminal includes an autonomous diagnostic station and user location. Autonomous diagnostic station contains a console housing containing user and physiological interfaces. The information block of the user interface provides a continuous connection to the Internet to search for a medical institution in the city and online-registration to the doctor. The hardware-software module of the physiological interface includes devices for taking measurements of basic vital signs, such as blood pressure and pulse, temperature, level of fat, bone and muscle mass, total body weight, pitch level and a number of other parameters, and processing measurement results followed by displaying the received data on the screen of a monitor or external peripheral devices.

A cuff with an automatic wrist contour, designed to measure blood pressure and heart rate, is rigidly fixed on one of the station's handrails. This cuff has a special design and structure, providing a comfortable measurement environment. The proposed design of the cuff can significantly reduce the time cost of determining the characteristics of blood pressure and pulse.

During the implementation and additional structural development, various changes, modifications, additions and improvements to the described structural modifications are possible.

Thus, the proposed device, presented according to the structure described above, has several advantages:

- conducting a comprehensive diagnosis of health status, measuring basic vital signs, such as blood pressure and pulse, temperature, body weight, fat, bone and muscle mass, water and internal fat, physical rating, basal metabolic rate, biological age, respiratory rate and pitch

- A wide range of indicators of the diagnostic examination;

- Obtaining a survey result and a list of recommendations.

The proposed device can be used for a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s health status in medical institutions of a wide profile.
