Definitions
- the present specification refers, as its title indicates, to a transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring system using GPRS (acronym for General Packet Radio Service), of the type used for the transmission and remote control of electrocardiographic data of a patient, continuously.
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service
- This type of equipment is particularly suitable for the diagnosis, control and monitoring of various types of cardiac pathologies, especially coronary syndromes and arrhythmias. They can perform these tasks at the patient's home, by sending the data to a control center in a hospital where the different electrocardiographic parameters can be remotely controlled and continuously monitor the patient's condition. They are also capable of application within the hospital environment for the transmission of data from the rooms of the patients to the control center, with the consequent saving of wiring and improvement of patient mobility.
- This type of equipment is particularly suitable for the diagnosis, control and monitoring of various types of cardiac pathologies, especially coronary syndromes and arrhythmias.
- some types of portable devices for monitoring and control that perform the storage of electrocardiographic data for a certain measurement time, until the filling of its internal memory.
- the device When this memory is filled, the device must be connected to a computer, or similar computer system, to dump the stored electrocardiographic data to the internal memory of the computer.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) This computer must periodically connect, via a modem, to the computer in the control center or hospital to send the data through the conventional switched telephone network (via cable) or using a GSM mobile phone.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) of the fixed part is usually proportionally quite important within the total transmission cost. Obviously, and since the cost of the telephone transmission of the data is always directly proportional to the connection time, it is economically unfeasible due to its high cost, to perform electrocardiographic data monitoring and its subsequent transmission in a continuous manner over time. associated data.
- the transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring system has been devised by means of GPRS object of the present invention, which is constituted by a Mobile System (SM), ported by the patient to be monitored, which allows the acquisition of electrocardiographic signals through the appropriate sensors, their processing and conversion into digital data packets, and their subsequent long-distance transmission via a mobile radio modem class b (for voice and data) Built-in SM itself.
- SM Mobile System
- the SM incorporates the appropriate filters, both by software and by hardware, so that there is no interference between the signal radiated by the modem and the one picked up by the electrocardiographic sensors.
- the SM also has a GPS module (Global Positioning System) that allows the positioning of the Mobile System via satellite, using radioelectric triangulation procedures. In this way, when desired, you can quickly know the location coordinates, and therefore its location, of the Mobile System, and obviously of your associated patient.
- GPS module Global Positioning System
- This module is small in size, low consumption and with an integrated antenna, independent of the main communications antenna.
- the Mobile System control module controls the activation of the GPS module in order to locate the patient only when necessary. Consequently, the update of the position by GPS meets a criterion of optimization of consumption, being carried out with the highest
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) frequency possible provided that said criterion is respected, keeping the last reliable position obtained until a new coordinate update is stored, in order to reduce in time the location of the patient in each new communication with the satellites.
- the functional control of the SM is carried out by means of a microprocessor system, equipped with an intelligent software system, based on an expert system and on neural networks, for the analysis and processing of the electrocardiographic signal, discriminating between a plurality of possible predefined cardiac pathologies.
- This system allows to detect one of these possible predefined cardiac pathologies by means of an algorithm of detection and recognition of heart disease, in this way the Mobile System only transmits to the server center when it detects a cardiac pathology.
- This algorithm has several levels of detection that can be configured from a Control Center, from where the different types of cardiac pathologies to be monitored particularly in each patient are also configured.
- the Mobile System is also endowed with an encryption phase through appropriate keys and data compression before transmission. Encryption allows to guarantee the authentication of a patient at the remote end and the certification of the issuer, establishing a secure communication and thus guaranteeing the secrecy and privacy of the communication.
- the compression of the data allows to optimize the bandwidth of the transmitted signal, using less time for its transmission, with which the communication is faster and more efficient.
- This phase of encryption and compression of the data to be transmitted can be carried out both by a hardware module, as well as by software as another part of the software implemented in the microprocessor control system.
- the SM has capacity both for the use of electrodes for human use and for the use of specific electrodes for veterinary use, recording multiple leads in the input signal, thus allowing the use of the System for the control of sick animals , in addition to
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) for the control and care of human patients, which is of particular interest in different branches of veterinary medicine or zoology, as well as for medical control.
- the transmission is done using a Communications Protocol, through the GPRS system, which allows the simultaneous transmission of information from a plurality of similar Mobile Systems carried by different patients in different physical locations through the Internet computer data network.
- the Communications Protocol includes an optimized compression algorithm to allow the transmission of as much information as possible in a packet size as small as possible.
- Terminal Equipment This ET will basically consist of a computer or similar computer system, connected to the Internet by any of the known methods (modem, cable modem, router, GPRS terminal, etc.) where, through a software specially developed for it, the System Control and the processing and presentation of the received signals.
- the purpose of this software is to maintain simultaneous communication with one or several Mobile Systems, order the information packets received and make their subsequent presentation on screen, in addition to their historical file and how many complementary functions need to be implemented.
- this Terminal Equipment can be either the central computer or the Hospital Server, from where the information can be distributed to the rest of the Hospital terminals, or any of the Computers used by the
- the system When using the GPRS network, the system is also capable of being able to transmit, simultaneously with the digital data packets corresponding to the electrocardiographic information, an audio communication signal to be able to carry out a spoken communication between the ET in charge and any of the different SM .
- This audio communication can be carried out in a bidirectional way, similar to telephone communication, allowing simultaneous communication between a doctor and the patient, if necessary, to gather complementary information or to help solve a problem.
- This transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring system by means of GPRS presented provides multiple advantages, apart from those mentioned above, over the systems currently available, being the most important, due to the incorporation of the radio communications modem in the Mobile System, this SM You do not need to connect with any computer system or external communications system at any time, since the SM itself forms a single portable device that contains all the necessary elements for its operation at all times.
- Another subsequent advantage of the present invention is that since the patient does not need any auxiliary peripheral equipment, or computer or external communications system, a telephone line is not necessary, so that the system can be used perfectly for patient monitoring during commuting, both in ambulances and other transport systems.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Another of the most important advantages of this system is that using the GPRS system for communication allows continuous and periodic monitoring of the electrocardiographic data of the patient, since in the GPRS system the transmission of information is done by packets of data, and the billing of the use of the Internet network is done by the number of packets sent (that is, by the flow of existing information), not by the time of occupation of the network. This allows it to be enough to optimize the latency time between which the data packets are transmitted so that the monitoring of the patient is carried out in a continuous way, without thereby increasing the economic cost of the system, nor for the patient Not for the health system.
- Another added advantage that occurs when using the GPRS system is the possibility, non-existent in other systems, to perform two-way voice-spoken communication simultaneously and compatible with the transmission of electroencephalographic data. This allows better monitoring by doctors and specialists of the hospital or telecare center of the state of their patients.
- Another interesting advantage is that the reduced consumption of the Mobile System, together with an adequate inimization of the energy field of the electronic system and an adequate design of the system allows to achieve a great autonomy of operation of the system.
- the GSM telephone and data network (Global System Mobile - Global Mobile System) can be worked on, despite being a relatively old technology, or on the future UMTS network (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - which is currently being developed.
- figure - 1 - shows a functional block diagram of the entire system.
