Description

[0001] Blood Pressure Measuring Apparatus [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a blood pressure measuring apparatus for measuring a blood pressure of a human being, and more particularly, to a blood pressure measuring apparatus which is simple to carry and can measure blood pressure very easily and accurately.

The heart's beating, the contraction and relaxation of the heart, causes blood to circulate through the blood vessels. The heart performs 60 to 80 shrinkage and relaxation operations in approximately one minute. In the systole of the heart, blood is released from the heart to the artery. During the diastole of the heart, blood circulating through the vein is sucked into the heart through the vein. During the heart's pulse, blood presses the inner wall of the blood vessel. This numerical value is generally referred to as blood pressure. Blood pressure, or pressure exerted on blood vessels by blood, depends on the systolic and diastolic phases of the heart. The systolic blood pressure of the heart is relatively high compared to the diastolic blood pressure. The blood pressure at which the blood pressure is highest by the systolic period of the heart, more specifically, the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart is referred to as 'systolic blood pressure' or 'systolic blood pressure', and is referred to as the diastole of the heart, more specifically, The instantaneous blood pressure is referred to as the 'diastolic blood pressure' or 'the lowest blood pressure'.

The blood pressure is divided into arterial pressure, venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, and pulmonary venous pressure depending on the measurement site, but usually refers to the arterial pressure measured in the brachial artery of the arm. The degree of blood pressure is expressed as 'mmHg (Mercury)' as the pressure. The blood pressure varies from time to time depending on the current state of the subject. If the subject is exercising, the blood pressure will rise with the heart rate. Therefore, the blood pressure value of each individual refers to the blood pressure measurement when the subject normally rests sufficiently and the heart rate is in a normal state. Generally, the blood pressure is judged as a normal state when the systolic blood pressure is in the range of 100 to 140 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure is in the range of 60 to 90 mmHg. If the blood pressure is out of the normal range, the hypertension or hypotension is judged.

Hypertension is a state in which the systolic blood pressure of an adult is more than 140 mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure is more than 90 mmHg. Hypertension is found in more than 30% of adults in Korea and 27% of adults in foreign countries are very common. Hypertension causes various complications throughout the body including coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure, and many of them cause serious problems that directly threaten the patient's life and health. Blood pressure can be a factor that shortens life expectancy even if it is only slightly higher.

Hypotension refers to a condition in which the systolic blood pressure of an adult is consistently less than 90 mmHg, and a condition in which diastolic blood pressure is less than 60 mmHg is defined as hypotension. When the blood pressure drops sharply, the human body firstly reduces the amount of blood that is sent to organs less important for muscle or other life support, and compensates for increasing the amount of blood to important organs such as the brain, heart and kidney. However, when the compensatory action reaches the limit, the amount of blood to be supplied to the important organs becomes insufficient, resulting in death due to dysfunction of each organ.

Blood pressure abnormalities, especially hypertension, are not accompanied by subjective symptoms. Most blood pressure abnormalities are identified during periodic screenings at hospitals or during the course of other pathologies. Measurement of the blood pressure is performed through use of the blood pressure measuring device. The blood pressure measuring apparatus selectively adopts a Korotkoff method, an oscillometric method, or a tonometric method.

The Cortecap blood pressure monitor is the most common method that has been used for the longest. The blood pressure measuring device comprises a cuff, a manual pump connected to the cuff through a tube, a pressure gauge and a stethoscope. The cuff is also called a cuff, which is wrapped around the upper arm or upper arm of the subject, that is, between the shoulder and the elbow. The manual pump injects or discharges fluid such as air into the cuff. When the fluid is introduced by the manual pump, the cuff is inflated and presses the upper arm or upper arm of the subject. The pressure gauge is coupled to the tube to indicate the pressure of fluid applied to the cuff. The stethoscope is for the measurer. Using a manual pump and a cuff, the measurer presses and depresses the subject's brachial artery while listening to pulses from the brachial artery using a stethoscope. Normally, a pressure is applied to the brachial artery using a cuff to block blood flow, and then the pressure at the moment when the pulse is heard for the first time in the process of gradually decompressing is measured as systolic blood pressure, and the pressure at which the pulsation completely disappears The diastolic blood pressure is measured. The Cortocarp type blood pressure measuring device has an advantage that the blood pressure of the subject can be measured with a relatively simple configuration. However, this device requires a skilled measurer to measure blood pressure. The Cortec-type blood pressure measuring device is generally considered to be suitable for use in a medical institution or the like.

Oscillometric or tonometric methods are mainly employed for digitized blood pressure measurement devices. A digital blood pressure measuring device employs a pressure sensor instead of a pressure gauge, and a microprocessor is employed to control the device and calculate blood pressure values. The pressure sensor is coupled to a tube that supplies fluid to the cuff to sense the pressure of the fluid applied to the cuff and in particular to sense the pulse wave transmitted through the cuff. The detection result is converted into an electrical signal and applied to the microprocessor. The oscillometric method is a method in which the upper arm or upper arm of the subject is sufficiently pressed through the cuff so as to completely block the flow of blood through the brachial artery as in the Cortex method, and thereafter the pressure is reduced at a constant speed or the body part is pressed at a constant speed In the process, the pulse wave is detected to measure systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. The tonometric method uses a cuff to apply a constant pressure to the upper arm or upper arm so that the blood flow of the brachial artery is not completely blocked, and the blood pressure is continuously measured using the size and shape of the pulse wave detected by the pressure sensor .

1 is a perspective view showing an example of an electronic blood-pressure measuring apparatus employing a digital method. In the figure, the blood pressure measuring device has a cuff 1 and a main body 2. [ They are coupled through the tube 3. The main body 2 is provided with a display 21 for displaying the operation state of the apparatus and the measured blood pressure value, as well as various operation keys. The operation keys include a power key for turning on / off the power of the apparatus, a pressure key for starting blood pressure measurement, and a storage key for storing or reproducing the measured value. A pump for supplying a fluid such as air to the cuff 1 through the tube 3, a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the cuff 1, and the entire apparatus are controlled in the main body 2, And a microprocessor for calculating the blood pressure value of the subject based on the detection result of the sensor. The microprocessor drives the pump to supply and discharge the fluid to and from the cuff 1 through the tube 3 when the pressure key is selected and to control the flow rate of the fluid in accordance with the oscillometric or tonometric method The blood pressure of the measurer is determined. The measured value thus measured is displayed through the display 1. The electronic blood pressure measuring device is mainly used as a home-use or mobile blood pressure measuring device because of its simple structure and operation. However, the electronic blood pressure measuring apparatus has a disadvantage in that the measurement accuracy is relatively low, and in particular, the subject to be measured is not suitable for use while moving while carrying the cuff 1 and the main body 2 connected through the tube 3.

A wrist blood pressure measuring device has been proposed as one in which the portability of the user is greatly improved. For this, Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0055903 (entitled "Wrist Blood Pressure Measurement Device Including Multi-bladder for Mechanical Pressing"), Patent Application No. 10-2013-0106386 (Wrist Watch Type Blood Pressure Monitor), Patent Application 10-2014-0012870 (name: wristwatch blood pressure monitor), patent application No. 10-2015-0012636 (name: wrist blood pressure monitor), patent application No. 10-2015-0014990 (name: Wrist type blood pressure monitor). The wrist blood pressure meter is configured to detect the pulse wave from the radial artery while pressing the wrist part in such a manner that the subject directly presses the air bag by hand without employing a cuff. The wrist blood pressure measuring device is advantageous in that it has excellent portability because the subject can move in a state where the blood pressure measuring device is worn on the wrist as in the case of a wristwatch or perform blood pressure measurement. However, since the wrist blood pressure measuring device is configured so that the user directly presses the wrist by hand, the measurement accuracy is low.

Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are illustrative of one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and examples of such embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

2 is a perspective view showing a blood pressure measuring apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a blood pressure measuring apparatus is provided with a base member 10. The base member 10 is formed in a rectangular band shape and joined to a conventional cuff 1 through a tube 3. The base member 10 is made of a stretchable material such as spandex. Although not specifically shown in the drawing, a face fastener such as a Velcro tape is provided on one side of the back surface of the base member 10. The face fastener is for winding the base member 10 around the body of the subject.

On the upper surface of the base member 10, a plurality of, in this example, three pockets 11 to 13 are provided. Lids 11a to 13a are provided in the pockets 11 to 13, respectively. The lids 11a to 13a are respectively coupled to the pockets 11 to 13 through, for example, a velcro tape or a snap button. Devices for driving the cuff 1 to measure the blood pressure of the subject and transmitting the measurement result to the external smart device are housed in the pockets 11 to 13. Between the pockets 11 to 13, a communicating portion 15 for communicating the pockets 11 to 13 internally in the base member 10 is provided. A wire or a connector for electrically coupling the devices stored in the respective pockets 13 is inserted into the communication portion 15.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the devices housed in the pockets 11 to 13, and shows the internal configuration of the present blood pressure measuring apparatus. In the present embodiment, the blood pressure measuring device includes a control part 100 for controlling the entire device and performing communication with an external smart device, a driving part 200 for driving the cuff 1, And a power supply part 300 for supplying power to the battery. Of course, this functional separation for each device can vary widely. In a preferred embodiment, each of the component parts 100-300 is installed in a separate housing. At this time, the respective housings are accommodated in the pockets 11 to 13, respectively, and are electrically coupled to each other through the communicating part 15. Further, in a modified embodiment of the present invention, the base member 10 is provided with a single pocket, and the devices can be packaged and housed in a single housing.

The control part 100 includes a control part 110 and a communication part 120. [ The control unit 110 includes a microprocessor. The control unit 110 controls the entire apparatus according to a control command from the outside. The control unit 110 controls the driving part 200 according to an oscillometric method or a tonometric method and determines the blood pressure value of the subject based on the data input from the pressure detection unit 200 of the driving part 200. The blood pressure measurement method and operation by the control part 110 and the driving part 200 are well known and no particular requirement is required. Although not specifically shown in the drawings, the control part 100 is provided with a memory device. Various operation programs for the microprocessor are stored in the memory device, and blood pressure values of the subject measured by the control unit 110 are stored. The communication unit 110 is for wireless communication with the controller 110 and an external smart device, preferably a smart phone. The communication unit 120 communicates with the smart device via, for example, Bluetooth. The communication method between the communication unit 120 and the smart device is not limited to a specific one. Although not shown in the drawings, the control part 100 is provided with a power switch for turning on / off the power of the apparatus. The power switch is preferably installed outside the housing. The user opens the lid 12a of the pocket 12 and operates the power switch.

In the driving part 200, the tube 3 is connected to the piping part 20 so as to be removable. The pump 220 supplies the fluid such as air to the pipe 210 under the control of the controller 110. The fluid thus supplied is supplied to the cuff 1 through the piping 210 and the tube 3 to expand the cuff 1. The discharge unit 230 discharges the fluid supplied to the cuff 1 to the outside under the control of the controller 110. By operation of the vent portion 230, the cuff 1 will shrink again in its original shape. The pressure detecting unit 240 includes a pressure sensor such as a piezoelectric sensor and an analog-digital converter. The pressure sensor detects the pressure of the fluid supplied to the cuff 1, and the detection result is supplied to the control unit 110 as digital data.

The power supply part 300 includes a power supply part 310. The power supply unit 310 includes a rechargeable battery and an interface circuit. Although not specifically shown in the figure, the power supply unit 310 is provided with a power jack to which a power outlet will be coupled, if necessary, through an adapter.

4 is an explanatory view showing a case where the blood pressure measuring apparatus according to the present invention is worn on the body of the subject. In the figure, the cuff 1 is worn on the upper arm or upper arm of the subject as usual. Preferably, the base member 10 is worn on the upper side of the cuff 1. The wear position of the base member 10 can be arbitrarily determined by the subject. When the power switch of the control part 100 is set to the ON state, the present blood pressure measuring apparatus is set to the operating state. The operation of the blood pressure measuring device is performed in cooperation with the external smart device 50, preferably a smart phone. A separate application is installed in the smart phone 50. Hereinafter, an application will be abbreviated as an app (app). The app communicates with the blood pressure measuring device, more specifically, with the control unit 110 of the blood pressure measuring device to control the operation of the blood pressure measuring device.

The app provides various modes of operation for the subject. Basically, the app provides a blood pressure measurement mode. In the blood pressure measurement mode, the subject can start the blood pressure measurement, or can select the scheduled measurement and the automatic measurement. When the subject selects blood pressure measurement, the app instructs the control unit 110 to measure blood pressure. The controller 110 controls the driving part 200 to measure the blood pressure of the subject, and the result data is provided to the smart phone 50 through the communication unit 120 as an app of the smart phone 50. The app displays the measured blood pressure value through the display of the smart phone 50. [ At this time, the subject's pulse rate can be measured and displayed together.

Once the subject chooses a scheduled measurement, the app provides a selection screen where the subject can select the measurement time. The reservation time information set by the subject is stored, and the app controls the blood pressure measurement device at the reservation time to perform blood pressure measurement. Also, when the subject selects the automatic measurement, the app provides a selection screen for selecting the automatic measurement conditions. The subject can select an automatic measurement time, for example, a blood pressure measurement every few hours.

In addition, other measurement sensors may be used with the blood pressure measuring device in connection with the automatic measurement. For example, a sensor for measuring the body temperature or heart rate of the subject can be additionally employed, and the app can perform the blood pressure measurement at a preset number of times or at a predetermined time interval when the subject's body temperature or heart rate reaches a predetermined condition. Further, a temperature sensor may be employed as the sensor, and the app can perform the blood pressure measurement at a predetermined number of times or at a predetermined time interval when the temperature of the main surface of the subject rises to a predetermined condition, for example, 30 degrees or more and 0 degrees or less . The blood pressure value of the subject measured through the blood pressure measurement mode is stored and provided for confirmation later.

Expert mode is also provided for automatic measurements. This mode is selected by an expert such as a doctor. Hypertension or hypotension is a symptom rather than a disease. However, hypertension and hypotension are often accompanied by other diseases or pathologies, and some of these conditions may require prompt treatment. For example, in hypertensive patients as well as in normal people, the blood pressure may suddenly rise excessively. It can be divided into hypertensive emergency and malignant hypertension according to severity. Hypertensive hypertension is common in patients aged 40 to 60 who have a 2- to 10-year history of hypertension and have not adequately controlled blood pressure. Hypertensive hypertension is associated with cerebral hemorrhage, hypertensive encephalopathy, aortic dissection, eclampsia, brain damage, and is fatal if not properly treated within a few minutes or hours. Malignant hypertension refers to a case where the systolic blood pressure is 200 mmHg or more, or the diastolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg or more. Malignant hypertension may be accompanied by acute renal failure, acute renal failure, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's disease, pregnancy addiction or other pathologies caused by kidney sclerosis, which can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage or death, Is required. Hypotension may be caused by a decrease in heart rate due to ischemic heart disease such as myocarditis or myocardial infarction, a decrease in heart rate caused by a decrease in heart valve function, a severe inflammation of the heart surrounding the heart, (Anaphylaxis) caused by insomnia, snake venom, etc., hypertension medicines, and other diseases caused by excessive bleeding caused by trauma or rupture of blood vessels due to traffic accidents or falls, Anti-angina drugs, anti-Parkinson's disease drugs, some depression drugs, alpha blockers used for enlargement of the prostate gland, side effects caused by the use of various drugs such as Viagra, etc. Hypotension, like hypertension, may require urgent treatment depending on the patient's history or pathology. In the expert mode, an expert such as a doctor can set the emergency operation condition of the blood pressure measurement device according to the history of the subject.

The app executes the emergency operation mode when the blood pressure value measured by the blood pressure measuring device satisfies the emergency operation condition set by the expert. First, the app controls the blood pressure measuring device to repeat blood pressure measurement on the subject three or more times, for example, to determine whether all of the measured values satisfy the emergency operation condition. At this time, if the blood pressure of the subject is irregular and one or more measured values do not satisfy the emergency operation condition, the app will guide the subject to the medical examination through the medical institution. These instructions are implemented through visual and auditory methods. Also, if all of the repeated measurement results of the subject satisfy the emergency operation condition, the app allows the subject to execute the emergency call. At this time, the emergency call allows the user to make a call attempt only by manually selecting the 'emergency call' indication displayed on the display of the smartphone 50, in consideration of the state of the subject. In this case, it is also preferable to implement the emergency call automatically, regardless of the selection of the subject. At this time, the destination telephone number where the emergency call is executed is registered together at the time of setting the emergency operation condition. The app can also guide the subject to the appropriate first aid. For example, the app can alert the subject to a warning tone, along with a blood pressure warning, and allow the subject to lie comfortably in the seat with the leg raised.

In addition to the above emergency operation conditions, the app executes the emergency operation mode when the blood pressure value of the subject satisfies a general emergency condition that is not related to the pathology or disease history. For example, an app can guide a subject to a precise examination through a medical institution if the pulse pressure of the subject is higher than the normal value. The pulse pressure refers to a value obtained by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure, that is, a value obtained by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. The normal pulse pressure is approximately 30 to 40 mmHg. Pulse pressure corresponds to the degree of cure or elasticity of blood vessels, especially the aortic wall. It is known that high pulse pressure may cause cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris or myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease. The app can then be configured to connect to the server of the medical institution and proceed with the emergency medical appointment of the subject.

The app also provides a correction value setting mode. The correction value setting is selected by an expert such as a doctor like the expert mode. As described above, the electronic blood pressure measuring apparatus employing the oscillometric method or the tonometric method may have a lower measurement accuracy than the blood pressure measuring apparatus employing the Cortex method. The correction value setting mode is provided for improving the measurement accuracy of the present blood pressure measurement apparatus. When the expert selects the correction value setting mode through the application, the app controls the control unit 110 to perform blood pressure measurement on the subject repeatedly, for example, three times or more. The control unit 110 calculates an average of successive blood pressure measurements and provides the calculation result to the smartphone 50. [ On the other hand, the app displays a guidance screen for guiding the blood pressure value input of the subject. The specialist measures the relatively precise blood pressure value of the subject using, for example, Cortex method or other precise measurement method and device, and then inputs it through the app. The app calculates the difference between the measured blood pressure value and the input blood pressure value, and sets the resultant value as the correction value. The correction value is stored in the smartphone 50 or the control part 100, and thereafter, the blood pressure value measured based on the corrected value is corrected. The correction of the blood pressure value can be selectively performed by the control unit 110 or the application.

5 is a perspective view showing a blood pressure measuring apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, the blood pressure measuring apparatus has a cuff 60. The cuff 60 is made of an elastic material as in the prior art, and is configured to expand when the fluid flows through the tube 3 to urge the subject of the subject. On the other hand, a plurality of, for example, three pockets 11 to 13 are provided on the upper surface of the cuff 60. The lids 11a to 13a are provided in the pockets 11 to 13 as in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, and the control part 100, the driving part 200, and the power supply part 300 are accommodated. The present blood pressure measuring device operates in conjunction with an external smart device, such as a smart phone, as in the embodiment of FIG. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the cuff 1 and the base member 10 are formed separately from each other, but in the present embodiment, they are integrally formed. Since the blood pressure measuring apparatus according to the present embodiment operates in substantially the same manner as that of the above-described embodiment, a more detailed description will be omitted.

The embodiments according to the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention can be variously practiced without departing from the technical idea thereof. For example, in the embodiment of Fig. 2, the shape and material of the base member 10 is not limited to a specific one, and may be composed of a mouth shape and a material having a structure suitable for wearing on the body of the subject. 2 and 5, the number of pockets 11 to 13 can be appropriately set to one or more, and the control part 100, the drive part 200, and the power part 300 can be set to a number of pockets And can be appropriately dispersed and mounted in the housing.
