Physical information monitor system having means for indicating amount of deviation of monitored information from normal information
First Claim
1. A physical information monitor system, comprising:
- physical information obtaining means for successively obtaining physical information of a living subject, said physical information obtaining means obtaining as said physical information a series of pulses of a pulse wave generated in synchronism with heartbeat of said subject;
physical information memory means for storing said physical information which is previously obtained in a comparatively normal condition of said living subject;
abnormality determining means for determining that said physical information obtained by said physical information obtaining means is abnormal when said physical information is outside a predetermined reference range;
a display device for indicating said physical information obtained by said physical information obtaining means; and
indication control means for controlling said display device to simultaneously indicate, while the physical information is abnormal, in a same indication area of said display device, said physical information which has been determined to be abnormal by said abnormality determining means and said physical information previously obtained in said comparatively normal condition of said subject and stored by said physical information memory means, said indication control means controlling said display device to indicate, in a same two-dimensional coordinate system, a waveform of one of a series of pulses of a normal pulse wave previously obtained in a comparatively normal condition of said subject and a waveform of one of a series of pulses of the pulse wave obtained by said physical information obtaining means in an abnormal condition of said subject, such that phases of said waveforms of said normal pulse wave and said abnormal pulse wave coincide with each other, in said same two-dimensional coordinate system in which time is taken along an abscissa while an amplitude of said series of pulses is taken along an ordinate, said indication control means including normalizing means for normalizing said waveforms of said normal pulse wave and said abnormal pulse wave, such that at least one of an amplitude and a wavelength of said abnormal pulse wave coincides with the corresponding one of the amplitude and wavelength of said normal pulse wave, said indication control means controlling said display device to indicate the waveforms of said normal pulse wave and said abnormal pulse wave which have been normalized by said normalizing means, such that said waveforms of said normal pulse wave and said abnormal pulse wave are superimposed on each other, said indication control means including calculating means for calculating an area difference index which quantitatively indicates a difference between an area defined by said waveform of said normal pulse wave and an area defined by said waveform of said abnormal pulse wave, said indication control means controlling said display device to indicate said area difference index calculated by said calculating means.
