Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to blood pressure monitoring devices. More specifically, the invention hereof relates to a conventional prolific device such as a cell phone or computer mouse controller which incorporates a blood pressure cuff for monitoring blood pressure and displaying measured data either at the computer with which the mouse is associated, on the cell phone or computer display to which the wrist cuff is connected, or on a television screen of a television having a remote control to which the cuff is connected.
- a conventional prolific device such as a cell phone or computer mouse controller which incorporates a blood pressure cuff for monitoring blood pressure and displaying measured data either at the computer with which the mouse is associated, on the cell phone or computer display to which the wrist cuff is connected, or on a television screen of a television having a remote control to which the cuff is connected.
- Such data display provides an easily understood representation of the measured parameters.
- Hypertension is one of modern society's most insidious diseases. Left untreated, it causes life-threatening problems including atherosclerosis, strokes and aneurysms. Long-term hypertension can result in diminished cardio-vascular and kidney function. Yet while high blood pressure is one of the simplest problems to detect in an entirely non-invasive process, it is all too commonly undetected in a large portion of the population. In the past twenty years or so, with the advent of low-cost microprocessor chips and miniature digital electronics and electromagnetic devices, the self-measurement of blood pressure by non-medical personnel has become more readily available. Nevertheless, blood pressure sphygmomanometers are still too sophisticated for a large segment of the population. Even those who are entirely capable of operating such devices tend to put them away in drawers and other out of the way places where they often remain mostly forgotten and unused.
- the cuff is always internal of the mouse structure and is readily accessible through an aperture in the housing surface of the mouse to permit the measurement to take place.
- a hinged or slidable door or panel protects the cuff or cuff ports between measurements.
- a wrist cuff and its associated pump, sensor and valve are connected to the cell phone which has received associated software.
- a pressure cuff and associated components are connected directly to a television remote control for wireless transmission to a television or set-top box connected to a television.
- the sphygmomanometer cuff is configured for receiving a human finger or wrist in circumambient pressured engagement using controlled air pressure to vary the cuff engagement pressure in a precise manner.
- the pressure of the cuff at this point will be substantially equal to diastolic blood pressure which is another significant parameter to be monitored.
- the frequency of pulsations sensed between the systolic and diastolic pressures is measured and will be substantially equal to the heartbeat rate or pulse rate which is also a parameter of some significance to be monitored.
- FlGs. 7 through 9 are various views of a sphygmomanometer cuff and attendant devices for applying occluding pressure to a human finger and releasing the pressure in a precise manner for carrying out the measurement;
- FIGs. 10 through 11 are views of a second embodiment of the invention in which a sphygmomanometer pressure cuff is selectively affixed to ports at the exterior of a mouse controller for the measurement;
- FIGs. 12 through 13 are views of a third embodiment of the invention in which a sphygmomanometer pressure cuff is fixedly positioned within the housing of a mouse controller and is accessible through at least one aperture in the housing for the measurement;
- FIG. 14 is a block diagram of the sphygmomanometer and computer interface which may be employed using an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGs. 15 and 16 are representations of a computer monitor display of a record of blood pressure measurements
- a first embodiment mouse controller 10 comprises a housing 12, click buttons 13 and 15 and control device 14. It will be understood that the precise configuration of the mouse controller hereof may be varied to virtually any of the many conventional designs. Therefore the shape, location and number of click buttons, the control device 14 and the shape of the housing 12 are all shown herein as illustrative only and should not be deemed limiting of the scope hereof. However, what is a significant improvement over conventional mouse controllers now follows.
- Air pump 30 provides the pressurized air to selectively expand air bag 25 to forcefully grasp a finger protruding through cuff assembly 18.
- Pressure sensor 32 senses the pressure at the air bag/finger surface interface and release valve 34 releases air from the air bag 25 at a rate that is commensurate with sensor 32 oscillometrically sensing the systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the inserted finger.
- FIGs. 10 and 11 illustrate a second embodiment mouse controller 40 having a housing 42, click buttons 43 and 45 and control device 45.
- the housing provides jacks 46 and 48 to which an external cuff assembly 50 having an air bag 52, is attached by connectors 54 and 56.
- a connector brace 58 mates with a brace receptacle 60 to further support the cuff assembly 50.
- the remaining components of the sphygmomanometer (less extender arm 28 and solenoid 26 which aren't required in this second embodiment) are interior to housing 42.
- a jack cover 47 may be employed to protect the jacks 46 and 48 when the sphygmomanometer is not in use.
- FIGs. 12 and 13 illustrate a third illustrative embodiment mouse controller 70 having a housing 72, click buttons 73 and 75 and control device 74.
- a sphygmomanometer is fully contained in a fixed position interior of housing 72 which has apertures 76 axially aligned on opposed side surfaces of the housing.
- a cuff assembly 78 and an air bag 80 to receive a person's finger for blood pressure and pulse rate measurement as previously described.
- FIG. 14 is a block diagram of the sphygmomanometer/computer interface showing that the air bag is connected through air tubes to the pump, the pressure sensor and release valve. These components, in turn, receive commands and provide pressure data to a computer through an MCU and USB to UART bridge and the computer's USB port.
- FIG. 15 shows the typical data transmitted to the computer during the blood pressure measurement and from which the systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate parameters are obtained.
- FIG. 16 illustrates a typical display presented on the computer monitor after a measurement is completed. The data may be logged and graphically displayed over multiple measurements to provide a time-based record of changes in blood pressure and pulse rate.
- FIG. 17 illustrates a wrist cuff/cell phone version of the invention in which a sphygmomanometer 90 comprises a pressure cuff 92 configured for compressive ⁇ engaging a person's wrist.
- a small attached housing 94 contains an air pump, pressure sensor and release vaive (not shown) of the type previously described in conjunction with the finger cuff of FIGs. 1 through 14.
- the cuff 92 and housing 94 may be electrically connected to a cell phone 95 by a cable 96 and connector 97.
- the cell phone 95 may preferably have a display 98 for presenting the same type of information as shown in FIG. 16 including graphical data as well as data in alphanumeric form.
- Cell phone 95 may preferably be connectabie to a PC or laptop computer (not shown) to download such data to the computer and/or to receive programming for operation with the sphygmomanometer 90 as required for compatible operation.
- the wrist cuff of FIG. 17 may also be connected to a television remote control unit 110 which wirelessly transmits the measured data to a nearby television 112 for display thereon.
- a set-top box 114 may be used to receive the data from the remote control unit 110 and configure the data as a corresponding message to be displayed on the television screen 115 such as shown in FIG. 19. Direct interface to a television set is also contemplated.
