Abstract

A method for continuously detecting body physiological information trajectories through the use of a personal wearable device. Through short-distance wireless transmission, a smartphone or a computer first transmits basic information, including a personal ID of a user of the device, a device ID, an ID of the smartphone or the computer, and communication links, to a remote medical data center. In this case, the device continuously detects body physiological information which can be transmitted to the remote medical data center. Corrective body physiological information data of the user is measured and transmitted to the remote medical data center. The remote medical data center processes the data and periodic pulse volume curves. The remote medical data center then transmits the numeral data converted from periodic pulse volume curves back to the personal wearable device and continuously constructs a periodic trajectory of detected personal body physiological information.

Claims

1. A method for continuously detecting body physiological information trajectories via a personal wearable device, a smartphone or a computer, and a medical data center, the method comprising:

executing an application software program that is configured to communicate with the medical data center on a personal wearable device;

sending information for blood pressure detection from the smartphone or the computer to the personal wearable device and the medical data center;

detecting first body physiological information for generating a pulse volume curve by the personal wearable device;

transmitting data of the pulse volume curve of the first body physiological information by the personal wearable device through the smartphone or computer to the medical data center;

measuring second body physiological information by using an additional device of a same type more than once;

receiving numerical data of the second body physiological information by the smartphone or computer;

transmitting the numerical data from the smartphone or computer to the medical data center and to the personal wearable device;

storing the data of the pulse volume curve of the first body physiological information and the numerical data from the second body physiological information at the medical data center;

processing, by the medical data center, the data of the pulse volume curve of the first body physiological information and the numerical data of the second body physiological information wherein processing the data of the pulse volume curve of the first body physiological information includes converting the data of the pulse volume curve into readable numerical data and storing the readable numerical data;

displaying the first body physiological information on a screen of the personal wearable device or a screen of the smartphone or the computer, wherein displaying the first body physiological information on the screen of the personal wearable device or the screen of the smartphone or the computer includes displaying a physiological information trajectory on the screen of the smartphone or the computer, the physiological information trajectory is provided as a reference for medical team members to observe current first body physiological information or backtrack changes in the first body physiological information;

providing 24-hour alarm service, data of a physiological information trajectory based on third body physiological information or data for regular or irregular data comparison and correction whenever the medical data center detects an abnormality in the first body physiological information or improper wearing of the device by the user; and

receiving the data of the physiological information trajectory by the smartphone or the computer over different time periods from the medical data center,

wherein receiving numerical data of the second body physiological information into the smartphone or the computer includes receiving entries of latest data and data correction based on the numerical data of the second body physiological information.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

selecting a life state of the user on said personal wearable device, where round keys at the upper part of the touch screen of the device are state keys, and the user may select the life state from a sitting state key, a standing state key, a walking state key, a working state key, a sporting state key, a dining state key, a sleeping state key, or other state keys according to the life state of the user;

transmitting to the medical data center through the smartphone or computer the life state of the user via Bluetooth, and then forwarded to the medical data center to inform the medical data center of the life state.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the medical data center is configured to automatically provide a prompt indication whether the user of the personal wearable device correctly wears the wearable device, and automatically inform that the body physiological information of the user of the personal wearable device deviates from a normal value or becomes abnormal suddenly, to facilitate in-time emergency medical intervention.
