Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for detecting the state of health of a person.
- the present invention relates to a system for recording the state of health of a person.
- an infected person is contagious during the incubation period, which can last up to three days.
- infection can also occur during the incubation period, which lasts two to eight days.
- the incubation period is two to 14 days, with an average of five to six days.
- WO 2016 037 091 A1 describes a computer-implemented method and an associated system for monitoring a person's well-being by providing glasses that contain at least one sensor for monitoring the movement of the user.
- the system receives data generated by the at least one sensor, uses the data to determine the user's movements based on the received data, and compares the user's movements to predetermined user movement patterns. If the system detects one or more inconsistencies between the user's current movements compared to the user's previously determined movement patterns, the system may inform the user or a third party of the detected inconsistency(s). The system can similarly monitor the user's adherence to a medical regimen monitor and notify the user or a third party of the user's compliance with the regime.
- US 2014 316 220 A1 describes a personal health monitor comprising a memory for collecting and storing attributes of an individual and a processor for quantizing each attribute in such a way that a normal range for that attribute is indicated and for measuring of deviations from this normal range.
- the processor also calculates the well-being of the individual based on the measured deviations. The results are displayed and indicate the well-being of the individual.
- DE 10 2013 222 123 A1 describes a mobile monitoring device for a body function of a living being, comprising a detection area, a fastening element, a sensor and an evaluation unit.
- the detection area is designed to detect at least one analyte.
- the fastening element is designed to bring the detection area into contact with a body surface of the living being to be monitored.
- the sensor is coupled to the detection area to obtain the at least one analyte and configured to output an electrical signal dependent on the at least one analyte obtained.
- the evaluation unit is designed to determine information about the at least one analyte based on the electrical signal of the sensor.
- the document DE 102014 006 000 A1 describes a device and a method for acquiring in-vivo acquisition of patient data and transmission to a data processing device.
- the aim is to provide a device for measuring the temperature of patients, which enables simple and inexpensive clinical temperature measurement for patients. This is done using a temperature measuring adapter with a metallic contact element and medical adhesive tape to stick on the patient's skin. There is a contact projection for thermally conductive coupling of a temperature measuring device.
- the temperature measuring adapter is glued to the patient's skin. Using just one temperature sensor, it measures the skin temperature via the adapter and transmits the data wirelessly. Body temperature is not recorded.
- the publication CN 2 11 147894 U describes a mobile system for detecting the temperature and its transmission and storage on a central system (server)
- the system is to be used as an alternative to manual stationary temperature measurement. Also only the skin temperature is recorded by a single sensor and no body temperature. With a tolerance of over 0.7 K, the sensors described are very inaccurate.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of making available a method and a system with which potential infections of a person are recognized and reported at an early stage and which neither disturb nor influence the person in their everyday concerns.
- this object is achieved by a method for detecting the state of health of a person, with the body temperature of the person being detected, with two or more temperature sensors being used in parallel and at least one temperature sensor being a skin sensor, the transmission of the detected body temperature values to an evaluation unit takes place and an evaluation (6) of the body temperature values is carried out by the evaluation unit (5), with the body temperature being recorded at a frequency of at least one measurement every 10 minutes and with the evaluation (6) of the body temperature values being The recorded body temperature values are compared with previously determined standard values of the person's body temperature.
- the body temperature is recorded at very short time intervals, preferably with a frequency of at least one measurement every 10 minutes.
- such measurements are integrated into the person's everyday life and carried out continuously without impairing or disturbing the person.
- a device that can be worn unobtrusively on the body, such as a bracelet, a fitness tracker, a watch, or also via sensors that can be integrated into clothing such as underwear or the like.
- the body temperature is recorded at a frequency of at least one measurement per minute.
- the body temperature is preferably measured with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 °C. Provision can be made for two or more temperature sensors to be used in parallel to carry out the method according to the invention. This increases the accuracy of the method and makes it possible to determine average values for each measurement point in time, which can then be analyzed further.
- At least one skin sensor is used to carry out the method according to the invention.
- Conclusions about the core body temperature can be drawn from the recorded surface temperature of the person.
- the body temperature values are evaluated on a server.
- this enables the body temperature values to be recorded centrally.
- the complete evaluation preferably takes place on the server. Access to the data and the results of the analysis is thus advantageously possible from various end devices.
- the data and/or the results of the evaluation can be displayed, for example, in a web browser or via an app.
- results of a number of algorithms can be combined to produce an infection prediction.
- the recorded body temperature values are compared with previously determined standard values for the body temperature of the person.
- a "normal state" of a person's body temperature can be determined and defined, from which an "abnormal” state can be clearly differentiated.
- the person's pulse and/or the oxygen content of the person's blood and/or a movement pattern of the person and/or the person's blood pressure and/or the person's respiratory rate and/or the skin resistance of the person and/or the point in time and/or the duration of sleep phases and/or the sleep rhythm of the person are recorded.
- a slightly elevated resting heart rate can indicate that the body has to work harder to keep the body temperature within the normal range and can therefore also be associated with an infection.
- a system for recording a person's state of health which is designed as a system that can be worn on a person's wrist, having two or more temperature sensors for recording body temperature in parallel, with at least one temperature sensor being a skin sensor and at least one evaluation unit , to which the data recorded by the sensors for evaluating the body temperature values are transmitted by comparing the recorded body temperature values with previously determined standard values of the body temperature of the person, with the sensors being suitable for measuring the body temperature at least once every 10 minutes capture and transmit to the evaluation unit.
- a parallel measurement of the two or more sensors increases the accuracy and it is possible to form average values of the recorded body temperature.
- the senor is suitable for detecting the body temperature at least once a minute and transmitting it to the evaluation unit. Due to the close meshing of the measurement intervals with measurements every 10 minutes, preferably every minute, deviations in the body temperature values from a “normal state” of the person’s body temperature or from specified normal values are detected promptly.
- the system is advantageously designed as a system that can be worn on a person's wrist. For example, training as a watch, fitness watch or bracelet could be considered.
- system according to the invention can be integrated in a person's clothing, for example in underwear, sportswear or other functional clothing.
- system of the present invention can be worn on body locations other than the wrist, such as the ankle or hip.
- the evaluation unit of the system according to the invention is preferably connected to a server on which the analysis of the recorded body temperature values takes place.
- the evaluation unit can be a smartphone, a computer, a gateway or the like, for example. Access to the data and the results of the analysis is advantageously possible from various end devices.
- the data and/or the results of the evaluation can be displayed, for example, in a web browser or via an app.
- the evaluation unit is preferably suitable for carrying out the analysis of the body temperature values using neural networks.
- the evaluation can be carried out using an analytical algorithm or a self-learning algorithm.
- the evaluation unit preferably creates a temperature curve from the ascertained body temperature values and constantly compares these with previously ascertained standard values for the body temperature of the person or with predetermined values. In this way, deviations from standard values or from specified values are determined promptly when they occur and can be reported by the evaluation unit. It can be provided that the system according to the invention also has an acceleration sensor for detecting a movement pattern and/or the sleep phases and/or the sleep rhythm of the person.
- the system according to the invention also has a heart rate monitor and/or a blood pressure monitor and/or an oxygen sensor and/or a respiratory rate monitor and/or a skin resistance monitor and/or a means for recording the time and/or for recording or displaying the Da tums and / or has an NFC chip.
- the system according to the invention can also have a Bluetooth transmitter and/or a Bluetooth receiver.
- the system according to the invention preferably also has means for locating the sensor, for example by recognizing the assignment to radio cells or an integrated GPS receiver or UWB GPS receiver.
- a wearable means for detecting body temperature for example a smartwatch
- contact chains can be queried and quarantine measures can be significantly smaller.
- the method according to the invention and the system according to the invention advantageously make it possible to continuously monitor a person's body temperature and to promptly detect and report deviations from a normal state. Because an increase body temperature can be associated with an undiscovered infection of the person, the person can take preventive measures, such as minimizing contact with fellow human beings.
- the method according to the invention and the system according to the invention enable indications of a possible infection well before the onset of symptoms.
- a reduction in the unnoticed infection time is made possible and chains of infection are broken. In this way, the spread of viruses is advantageously contained.
- the method according to the invention and the system according to the invention are particularly advantageous in old people's homes, nursing homes and in facilities for assisted living, but also in schools and universities or in other places where large crowds are regularly present.
- nursing staff it would be conceivable for nursing staff to receive a warning if a person has circulatory problems, with the warning also being able to include the person's location.
- Health monitoring at events or prevention of infection of employees in industry and trade are also conceivable.
- the device worn on the body could be used to send messages, for example, about the material requirements of a machine or the need for inputs into or actions on a machine.
