Description

Based on breathing patterns, mild cognitive impairment diagnosis and training system using memory information and reaction rate information {system for self-determination of mild cognitive impairment and prevention training using memory and response rate information, based on breathing patterns}

The present invention relates to a system for diagnosing and training mild cognitive impairment using memory information and reaction rate information based on a breathing pattern. Specifically, the present invention determines a customized breathing training method based on the identified user's breathing pattern, and when the user performs a breathing mission based on the determined breathing command method, based on the result of the breathing mission performed by the user, the user A system that can improve the user's mild cognitive impairment level by performing a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment of is about

Examination for causes that can cause mild cognitive impairment and evaluation of cognitive function are diagnosed through the following factors.

First, as a blood test, it is tested to confirm the presence or absence of medical diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, homocysteinemia, and thyroid dysfunction.

Next, as a genetic test, it is tested to determine whether or not the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) gene is possessed. In addition, as imaging tests, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) is performed.

Structural changes of the brain can be identified through MRI scan, and brain atrophy and aging status, accompanying cerebrovascular abnormalities are checked, and PET scan is performed to check brain function. By identifying the areas of the brain that are degraded, information on the possibility of progression to dementia can be provided.

In addition, an amyloid PET test may be performed to confirm the presence or absence of amyloid deposition, a protein that causes Alzheimer's type dementia.

In addition, as a cognitive function test, it objectively evaluates neuropsychological evaluation, attention concentration, memory, language use ability, spatial perception ability, high cognitive function, judgment ability, etc. degree can be assessed.

Mild cognitive impairment is accepted as a preclinical state of dementia in the stage where the concept is being established.

Since many diagnostic studies or studies on treatment effects use slightly different criteria, a standardized reliable early diagnosis method or treatment guideline has not yet been established. It is expected that the results of studies on the efficacy of anti-dementia drugs will be gathered within a few years.

After all, mild cognitive impairment is the best target for dementia treatment in that it is the last bulwark that can prevent the progression to dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease.

In other words, if there is an appropriate treatment, it can improve the quality of life of the patient through early diagnosis and treatment of appropriate risk factors, and it can be said that it is the best approach to reduce the economic and social burden of groups such as the state.

Diagnosis and treatment related to existing mental disorders are diagnosed and treated through one-on-one face-to-face with specialists by visiting specialized hospitals or counseling institutions. As a result, early diagnosis and treatment are not being performed.

As a solution to this problem, a healing technique based on highly accessible internet diagnosis and a virtual reality system based on biosignals were developed.

For example, existing biosignal-based virtual/augmented reality devices have been developed in the form of a work helmet for safety of workers or a biosignal display system using simple augmentation technology based on location information and biosignals.

In addition, there is an existing mental health evaluation system that utilizes biosignal analysis, and after providing audiovisual images, mental health is evaluated using a separate biosignal measurement sensor and analysis system in a wired form.

In the end, the proposed invention is a method to find out the rate of mild cognitive impairment by dataizing the brain cognitive response in a breathing cognitive situation based on the breathing pattern and breathing training of the elderly, and to support this improvement through breathing training. It is a training system.

The present invention uses a smart system prepared for user's breathing training to pattern the breathing of the elderly, and the breathing pattern defines a breathing pattern defined for each time section based on general thoracic breathing and diaphragmatic breathing, the pattern is patterned into short breathing (1-3 sec), medium breathing (3-7), long breathing (7-10 sec or more), instantaneous breathing, segmental breathing (pu-pu-fu), etc. Interlock with smart apps to configure logic.

In addition, the breathing pattern is divided into game type and learning type, and at this time, the pattern that can judge the degree of cognitive impairment and the cognitive reactivity, reaction time, memory training, and temporal difference memory training for mild cognitive prevention are defined. Connect with patterns and train.

In addition, the trainee performs a breathing mission based on the breathing training pattern defined in the smart app.

In addition, with respect to the mild cognitive impairment diagnosis determination algorithm, the trainee can configure to enable self-measurement of mild and mild cognitive impairment based on memory, reaction sensitivity, reaction time, mission success rate, etc.

In addition, in the present invention, with respect to the mild cognitive impairment training method, the trainee can be configured to perform continuous breathing behavior recognition and brain training through a training process for memory, reaction time, and cognitive training success.

The definition of the cognitive impairment level applied to the present invention is that the mission-type memory determination is performed through a breathing mission (time suggestion) by performing a picture image shown on the screen based on the criteria defined in the app, and then by exposing the image shown at this time during the breathing time. It can be configured to select an image.

In the case of response sensitivity, the sensitivity can be measured by analyzing the irregularity of the breathing length and the response pattern (the speed of finding the image) until the success time of the image memory response.

In addition, the success rate of cognitive training according to the present invention can be defined as a success index when the success standard time of response pattern, reaction sensitivity, and image selection falls within the reference index and time.

On the other hand, the breathing pattern is configured so that pattern training can be continuously trained by giving the diversity and difficulty of the breathing pattern defined above. can be configured to determine

In addition, the training uses the smart phone or the existing microphone method as an initial training mode, which is difficult to overcome the device problem, and includes the combination of active breathing data acquisition and smart device that can acquire accurate breathing pattern data through sensors. can

In addition, the cognitive impairment judgment criterion algorithm is difficulty 1 (memory test), difficulty 2 (memory, reaction sensitivity (speed), reaction time), difficulty 3 (memory, reaction sensitivity (speed), reaction time, mission success rate), etc. can be configured as

In the present invention, the difficulty aspect is a method of increasing the training performance of the user, and the strength of cognition can be configured by configuring the difficulty levels 1, 2, and 3 as a comprehensive score.

For example, difficulty 1: 80% or more, difficulty 1+2: 70 or more, difficulty 1+2+3: 50 or more, can be configured to define the final cognitive strength.

In other words, when the overall score of 1,2,3 is 50 or higher, it is judged that the cognitive ability connected with the breathing pattern is significantly lowered, and medical examination and training recommendations can be implemented through information exposure for d-cognitive training.
