Description

I Title
Portable Multifunctional Biometric Monitoring System
Description
Background of the invention:
The invention relates to the field of portable and handheld intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring instruments mainly used for the assessment of heart rate and rhythm, pulse rate, respiration, blood pressure, diagnosing nerve activities, and the like.
Field of the invention:
The marketplace offers a variety of biometric monitoring equipment, which are typically restricted to heavy and complex apparatus found in hospital facilities. Current medical emergency situations, particularly in developing countries, prove to be very challenging in terms of finding ways to allow medical practitioners to have an immediate access to this type of monitoring equipment. The reason being is acquiring, maintaining and operating (power requirements) of such equipment are usually expensive. Moreover, most of these equipment are static and difficult to set-up with all the cables and electrical wiring required.
It is fortunate that through technological advancement in the medical field, portable monitoring systems with specialized functions and various structures have been developed and are now being utilized. Typically, these portable monitoring systems feature alarm signals indicating urgent medical situations, communicated to central nurses' monitoring station. Most of these portable devices have limited mobility since most are often used in an "attended setting", which require patients to still stay within hospital's ward. Moreover, similar portable monitoring devices can only cater to specific functions, thereby limiting its overall capabilities.
The present invention, a portable biometric monitoring sleeve integrated with a mobile phone device, addresses the limitations stated above through a similar non-invasive method which is able to obtain data from medical sensors directly attached to the patient's body and display them on the mobile phone's screen.
The said biometric monitoring sleeve's main objective is to address the need for replacing complex and often bulky medical monitoring equipment. This is primarily indispensable mostly to the developing countries or remote areas where it proves to be very expensive, particularly in cases of human disasters or natural calamities, in which advanced medical support equipment are not readily available. By exploiting the capabilities of the mobile phone device, it can provide immediate access to necessary monitoring procedures because of its ultra portability. In addition, various biometric applications can be readily downloaded and updated on the mobile phone device thus, eliminating the need for several conventional monitoring devices. This further verifies the flexibility and multifunctional capability of the invented biometric sleeve. At the same time, reducing the cost of ownership and power consumption necessary to operate such devices renders it to be more affordable for medical professionals and more environment-friendly.
Moreover, the biometric monitoring sleeve can increase the efficiency of observing remote patients or even facilitate active monitoring whilst patient is mobile since it takes advantage of the mobile phone device's onboard Global Positioning System (GPS) capability providing the exact geographical information to facilitate rapid response to the patient's critical needs.
Similarly, it provides cost-efficient outpatient support thus, supplying hospital beds for more critical patients. It means that outgoing patients with high-risk condition can also now have their health supervised remotely. This is possible because the said biometric monitoring sleeve supports automated monitoring and data-storing functions, as well as facilitates real-time communication of biometric information between patients and medical professionals through the integration of the said instrument with a mobile phone device.
Summary of the invention:
Briefly stated, the present invention relates to a biometric monitoring sleeve ergonomically designed to fit the form of a mobile phone device, creating a portable integrated system whereby the patientTs biometric data is monitored, processed and translated to meaningful information which are then displayed on the mobile phone device's screen. The biometric sleeve has built-in electronic components that can analyze acquired data from medical sensors attached to a patient's body. It also provides a multitude of functions ranging from, but not limited to, providing extended battery life to the mobile phone device, and as an alternative, a compact intensive care monitoring system with a series of ports for medical sensors. Likewise, the biometric sleeve employs an expansion port providing options for storing additional data and back-up the mobile phone device's information.
In another part of this invention, medical leads having a series of probes placed in contact with key points on a patientTs body are employed to send signals to the biometric monitoring sleeveTs internal electronic components. These signals are then relayed to the mobile phone device's interface port, serving as the input/output gateway of data processed by the installed biometric application residing on the mobile phone device, which can be updated depending on the capabilities required.
The invention can be described by the following statements accompanied by appropriately marked diagrams: Figure 1 generally shows how the biometric monitoring sleeve looks like before the mobile phone device is inserted into it, as well as its main features and how it will be connected to the patient's body.
Figure 2 shows how the biometric monitoring sleeve looks like after the mobile phone device is integrated with it.
Figure 3 illustrates how the mobile phone device will be integrated into the biometric monitoring sleeve on the front, side, and rear angle perspective.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments:
Figure 1 shows in detail all the components of the core product that is compact and easy to use, which is the portable biometric monitoring sleeve (1) where a mobile phone device (11) is inserted to be used as an alternative ICU display (12). The multi-port monitoring sleeve (1) serves as the casing and dock interface for a mobile phone device (11), which contains all the valuable parts enabling similar function as that of a regular multi-functional monitor found in hospitals and medical institutions. The biometric sleeve (1) is made of a plastic material with design customized to fit the mobile phone device's (11) form.
The biometric sleeve (1) has various electronic components in its body that relays biometric data brought by the leads (10) and attached sensors (13), which are then processed by the mobile phone device's (11) application converting such data into meaningful biometric information including, but not limited to, pulse rate, body temperature, blood pressure and the like.
The male connector port (4) enables transfer of signals from the sensors (13) attached on the patient's body, via the medical leads (10), to the mobile device's interface port (9).
The arrow shows how the mobile phone device's interface port (9) will be automatically attached and linked to the male interface port (4) as soon as it is inserted into the biometric sleeve (1) providing a secure hold and connection between the two devices.
On the lower part of the biometric sleeve's (1) body is where the ON/OFF power switch (8) for internal battery is located as well as the diagnostic test button (7), expansion port (14), LED status indicators (5), multiple ports (6) for the leads (10), and the USB port (2).
The USB port (2) can be used to expand the biometric sleeve's (1) connecting capability to necessary diagnostic and peripheral devices that may include medical printers, ECG wires, etc. If the patient's condition requires more leads (10) and attached sensors (13) to be connected, the USB port (2) can serve as an extended channel. It can also serve as a back-up power source in the case that the mobile phone device's (11) internal battery is completely discharged.
The test diagnostic button (7) can be utilized to perform a diagnostic check to the attached leads (10) and sensors' (13) connectivity with the outlet ports (6) on the phone dock (3).
The LED status indicators (5), on the other hand, provides information about dislodged sensors or erroneous connection between the biometric sleeve (1) and the medical leads (10) through various or combination of light displays. It can also be utilized as a visible gauge to determine if the mobile phone device's interface (9) is successfully linked to the phone dock's male connector port (4) and is operating the accompanying monitoring sleeve's (1) biometric applications.
Figure 2 further demonstrates the lower part of the sleeve, the phone dock (3), where most of the monitoring device's fundamental function is concentrated. Aside from containing connecting ports and outlets (6), the main ON/OFF power switch (8) regulates power usage to both the biometric sleeve's connected peripherals and the mobile phone device (11).
The biometric application on the mobile phone device (11) will be automatically launched upon connection with the biometric sleeve. The said pre-installed application on the mobile phone device will then start processing biometric information relayed by the sensors and display it on the mobile phoneTs screen (12). The biometric application residing on the mobile phone device (11) can be used to configure and control the patientTs biometric information.
Figure 2 further demonstrates how appropriate medical peripherals can be connected to the USB port (2) and the medical leads (10) on the other hand, to the main female ports (6).
