Description

Handheld medical measurement system

The present invention also relates to a portable measurement system comprising one or more measurement modules; the plurality of measurement modules may be modules of different measurement targets, or may be the same measurement target but different Sensing mode (sensing mode mainly includes sensing circuit, sensing bias waveform, signal reading and numerical calculation, etc.). The portable measurement system also includes one or more different monitoring platforms; a plurality of different monitoring platforms can be designed with different user display or operation or measurement numerical processing functions. Different measurement modules can be operated on the same monitoring platform. This monitoring platform is a shared monitoring platform; these different measurement modules can also operate on another shared monitoring platform. The measurement module is connected to the monitoring platform through a specific communication and protocol interface. As long as the two meet the defined interface specifications, the two can independently design their functions and performances, that is, they can be combined at will to achieve the required measurement system combination.

The general portable measuring system can be divided into two parts: a measuring instrument and a sensor. Traditionally, the sensing mode sensing circuit, sensing bias control, signal reading and numerical calculation are integrated into the measuring instrument. As such, as long as the sensing mode is different, another measuring instrument must be redesigned. A common blood glucose monitoring system on the market is a typical example. Due to advances in sensing technology, the sensing mode is also different. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign a new generation of products. In addition, the sense of use of different measurement targets The sensor mode (Sensor) is different, the sensing mode is also different, and the same kind of measuring instrument must be redesigned.

Some portable measuring instruments integrate several measurement targets into the same measurement system. However, the type of measurement target for this design is limited only to the types of instruments included in the existing instrument. If you want to increase the measurement target or change the sensing technology, you must redesign another system to achieve. The portable device invented by US006066243A is a collection of a plurality of module interfaces (MODULE INTERFACE) and a sensor interface (SENSOR INTERFACE) through an analog interface (ANALOG INTERFACE), and also a plurality of other module interfaces RS-232. The communication is selected via the multiplexer (MULTIPLEXER), which further connects most of the other module interfaces to the central processing unit (CPU) for processing. The control and circuit of the whole system measurement is more complicated. Therefore, the control and stability of the measurement must be considered and carefully considered and designed. Due to the switching and selection of many measurement targets, the same operation for the user becomes cumbersome, and there is a user risk of operating errors.

The purpose of this creation is mainly to simplify the design and operation of the system, making the application of the measuring instrument more flexible and diverse. As long as the measurement module is replaced, the measurement module of the different types of measurement targets or the measurement module after the sensing technology can be used on the shared monitoring platform. In addition, for the operation needs of different users, as long as the shared monitoring platform with different functions is designed to match the off-the-shelf measurement module, the operation requirements of different users can be achieved. In this way, the user can use the updated measurement technology or increase the purpose of different measurement targets or change the operation function at a lower cost, and can also reduce resource waste and environmental damage.

In view of the above-mentioned lack of knowledge, one of the purposes of this creation is to provide a multi-measurement The module shares the monitoring platform's measurement system, and the measurement module is connected to the shared monitoring platform via a connector entity or wirelessly. This creation can be used to replace different measurement modules on the same monitoring platform. Each measurement module is paired with its own sensor type, such as: blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, uric acid, body temperature, heartbeat ) and so on. Moreover, the measurement module of a certain sensor can replace the measurement module according to different technologies because of different or advancement of the sensing circuit or the bias waveform or the signal value or the calculation technique. Furthermore, a measurement module can use a variety of sensors to achieve the function of measuring multiple targets. These measurement modules connect to a common monitoring platform through a specific communication and protocol interface to complete the operation of the measurement system.

In addition, the creation can provide different display or operation functions or measurement numerical processing and the like monitoring platform, for example, the display part can be monochrome or color, can be a pattern representation or dot matrix display, the display size can be large or small; According to the operation function of the monitoring platform, it can be equipped with different number of buttons or using touch operation; the data storage memory of the monitoring platform can use built-in memory or external memory card in addition to the capacity; measuring data The transmission can be transmitted to another device or the like using a wired or wireless means.

In another form of the creation, the shared monitoring platform can be a Notebook PC or a Tablet PC or a Smart Phone, and the appropriate application software is installed or attached to these computer products. The communication interface hardware can be connected to the above various measurement modules to form a measurement system.

The sensing mode of the Measuring Module of the present invention mainly includes: sensing circuit, bias waveform, signal reading and numerical calculation. The measurement modules of different sensing targets have different sensing modes; the sensing modules of the same sensing target are sensed Different technologies will have different sensing modes. In another form of the creation, the sensing mode is designed as a sensing module, and different sensing modes have different sensing modules, and the sensing module is coupled to the measuring module. In the group. The sensing module can be combined with the measuring module by using a fixed soldering or connector or by a card. In this way, devices other than the sensing module in the measurement module can be shared. The sensing module can be used on a shared monitoring platform after being integrated into the measurement module.

In another form of the creation, the sensing mode of a general measurement system or instrument can be independently designed as a sensing module, and the device other than the sensing module becomes a measuring platform. The sensing module can be combined with the metrology platform as a metrology system or instrument using a fixed solder or connector or a card. Different sensing modules can share one measuring platform; the same sensing module can also be used on any measuring platform that meets the interface specifications.

These measurement modules can also be used to achieve the same monitoring platform or different monitoring platforms for multiple measurement modules. In addition to the hardware interface specifications to be met, the communication protocol must use the same definition. The following is a description of the communication protocol. Example of implementation. In the following example of the implementation of the protocol, the behavior of the handler under the Monitor Platform is the activity of the Monitor Platform. The handler is titled under the Measuring Module. The behavior is the activity of the Measuring Module.

FIG. 12 is an example of an implementation of a communication protocol when a measurement module 1500 is coupled to a shared monitoring platform 1400. First, when the Measuring Module 1500 is connected to the Monitor Platform 1400, a Trigger Signal 1501 is generated or sent to the monitoring platform 1400. After the monitoring platform 1400 receives the trigger signal 1501 of the measurement module 1500, the communication protocol check program 1001 is performed. The flow of the protocol check is: the monitoring platform 1400 sends a protocol check packet of the protocol check packet 1401 to the measurement module 1500. After the measurement module 1500 determines the communication protocol 1502, the measurement information (Measuring Information) 1505 is sent to the monitoring platform 1400 to measure the measurement information of the measurement module, for example, the measurement target name, the module version, and the measurement. Information such as time, value range, unit, etc.; if the measurement module 1500 cannot identify the information or the agreement does not match 1503, it will not respond to any message 1504 to the monitoring platform 1400. If the monitoring platform 1400 does not receive any message from the measurement module 1500, after a period of time, the communication with the measurement module 1500 is stopped and a timeout process 1402 is executed; when the monitoring platform 1400 receives the measurement module After the measurement information 1505 of the 1500, a [Platform Ready] message 1403 is issued to the measurement module 1500, and then the measurement module 1500 also enters the ready state 1506.

FIG. 13 is an example of an implementation of a communication protocol when a measurement module 1500 is combined with a shared monitoring platform 1400 for measurement. First, when the measurement module 1500 starts the measurement (for example, detecting the insertion of the test piece), a trigger signal (Trigger Signal) 1507 is generated or sent to the monitoring platform 1400. After the monitoring platform 1400 receives the trigger signal 1507 of the measurement module 1500, the communication protocol check program 1001 is performed. The flow when the communication protocol check program 1001 and the measurement module of Fig. 12 are connected to the shared monitoring platform is the same, and after the completion of the communication protocol check program 1001, the measurement program 1002 is performed. The flow of the measurement program 1002 is: the measurement module 1500 first checks whether the sensor is available and transmits the result [Sensor Check Result] 1508 to the monitoring platform 1400; when the monitoring platform 1400 receives the sense When the detector detects 0K, 1405 sends [Stop Measuring] 1406 to the measurement module 1500, and the measurement module 1500 terminates the measurement 1509 when it receives the [Stop Measurement] 1406; if the monitoring platform 1400 receives When the sensor detects OK, 1404 will respond to [Received ACK] 1407 to the measurement module 1500, and the measurement module 1500 starts to execute the measurement program, and transmits the measured state 1510 to the monitoring platform 1400 at any time. After the measurement state 1408 is displayed until the measurement procedure is completed, the measurement result [Measuring Result] 1511 is transmitted to the monitoring platform 1400, and the monitoring platform 1400 receives the measurement result and displays the response [received response The message (Received ACK) 1409 is given to the measurement module 1500. When the equivalent measurement module 1500 is to be finished (for example, the test piece is detected to be removed), the Off Trigger Signal 1512 is turned off to the monitoring platform 1400. End measurement Finally, after the 1410 completion of the program.

When the measurement system is not measuring, the power of the measurement module can be turned off to save power. Figure 14 shows an example of a communication protocol when the power supply on the measurement module is controlled by the monitoring platform and the equivalent measurement module is connected to the shared monitoring platform. First, when the measurement module 2100 is coupled to the monitoring platform 2200, a trigger signal 2101 is generated or sent to the monitoring platform 2200. Supervisor After the platform 2200 receives the trigger signal 2101 of the measurement module 2100, the power supply 2201 of the measurement module 2100 is turned on. After the measurement module 2100 is started, the initiation protocol verification program 2001 sends a [Protocol check packet] 2102 to check whether the communication protocol matches the monitoring platform. After determining the communication protocol 2202, the monitoring platform 2200 returns [Received ACK] 2205 to the measurement module 2100, and the measurement module 2100 sends the "Measuring Information" 2104 to notify the monitoring platform. The 2200 is related to the measurement information of the measurement module. After the monitoring platform 2200 receives the measurement information, the power of the measurement module 2100 is turned off 2206 and ends. In another case, after the measurement module 2100 sends the [Agreement Detection Packet] 2102, if the monitoring platform 2200 cannot identify the information or the agreement does not match 2203, it will not respond to any measurement module 2100, but will measure the module. The 2100's power is turned off 2204 and ends.

Figure 15 shows an example of a communication protocol when the power supply on the measurement module is controlled by the monitoring platform. First, when the measurement module 2100 starts the measurement (for example, detecting the insertion of the test piece), a trigger signal 2105 is generated or sent to the monitoring platform 2200. After receiving the trigger signal 2105 of the measurement module 2100, the monitoring platform 2200 turns on the power supply 2207 of the measurement module 2100. After the measurement module 2100 is started, the communication protocol check program 2001 is initiated, and the flow of the communication protocol check program 2001 and the measurement module of the 14th map is the same as that of the shared monitoring platform. After the communication protocol check program 2001 is completed, After receiving the measurement information, the monitoring platform 2200 will respond to [Information ACK] 2208. Next, the measurement procedure 2002 is performed. The flow of the measurement program 2002 is: the measurement module 2100 first checks whether the sensor is available and transmits the result [sensor detection result] 2106 to the monitoring platform 2200; when the monitoring platform 2200 receives that the sensor does not detect OK 2210, the monitoring platform 2200 will jump 2211 to the measurement end program 2225 and turn off the power of the measurement module 2100 2226; if the monitoring platform 2200 receives the sensor detection OK 2209, In response to the [received response message] 2222 to the measurement module 2100, the measurement module 2100 begins to perform the measurement procedure and transmits the measured state 2108 to the monitoring platform 2200 at any time to display the measurement state 2223 until the measurement After the program is completed, the measurement result [measurement result] 2109 is transmitted to the monitoring platform 2200, and the monitoring platform 2200 receives the measurement result and displays the response [received response signal] 2224, and the equivalent measurement module 2100 ends the work. (For example, detecting the removal of the test piece), the shutdown trigger signal 2110 is notified to the monitoring platform 2200 to end the final program after the measurement is completed, that is, the measurement end program 2225, and after the monitoring platform 2200 ends the final program 2225, the measurement mode is measured. Group 2100's power is turned off 2226.
