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 and establishing disease prevention and cure via a personal wearable device, a smartphone or a computer, and a medical data center, the method comprising:

installing an application software program of the medical data center downloaded from the Internet by using the smartphone or the computer to a personal wearable device via a communication link;

entering personal information of the user, basic information of the personal wearable device, basic information of the smartphone or computer,

establishing mutual communication links between the personal wearable device and the smartphone or computer in the application software program;

sending information to the personal wearable device and the medical data center;

transmitting a continuous periodic pulse volume curve of body physiological information detected by the personal wearable device through the smartphone or computer to the remote medical data center;

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

entering numerical data into the smartphone or computer from the measured body physiological information;

transmitting the numerical data from the smartphone or computer to the medical data center;

storing the periodic pulse volume curve data of continuous personal body physiological information and numerical data from the measured personal body physiological information with the medical data center;

processing the periodic pulse volume curve data of continuous body physiological information and the measured body physiological information wherein the continuous periodic pulse volume curve data is converted into readable numerical data and stored;

displaying the body physiological information on a screen of the wearable device or a screen of the smartphone or computer of the user; and

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

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 smartphone or computer is configured to receive a physiological information trajectory over different time periods output by the medical data center, wherein the physiological information trajectory is on the basis of second, minute, hour, day, week, month, quarter, and/or year, and is further configured to display the physiological information trajectory on a screen of the smartphone or computer of the wearer, which can be provided as a reference for medical team members to observe current body physiological information or backtrack changes in the body physiological information when the user sees a doctor;

and wherein the smartphone or computer is configured to execute input of latest data and data correction and transmit input numerical data of the body physiological information to the medical data center so that the numeral data is used as a basis for regular correction, and subsequently transmit numerical data to the personal wearable device.

4. 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.
