In a study revealed on Springer titled ‘The utility of wearable good sensors for monitoring the vital signs of patients in epidemics: a systematic literature review’, the authors discovered that wearable sensors showed the best potential for controlling and diagnosing early signs of illness. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a coverage allowing FDA-approved, noninvasive gadgets to be used to watch important signs in remote settings. This will cause data communication (S354) to be performed between the IFU 30 of the monitor 19 and the IFU 26 of the controller 20 in a way described before, so that the pc sixty nine receives from the controller 20 the data as indicated in column VI of the desk of FIG. 3. The computer sixty nine then stores the obtained knowledge in the memory (S355) and processes the data in response to the directions input through the keyboard 70 (S356) for displaying the results on the CRT 71 (S357).
As shown in FIG. 4, the menu processor 17 could comprise a basic goal digital personal laptop fifty eight having the keyboard fifty nine and the CRT sixty one and loaded with the typical menu processing and formulation program out there in the marketplace. As described earlier than, the information of urinalysis and body fats content would be the one detected by the toilet system 12, with the quantity of exercise being the one derived by the ergometer 15. The pc 58 stores the data obtained from the controller 20 in the reminiscence thereof (S324), selects a proper menu (S325) and trigger the menu displayed on the CRT 61 (S326). Operation of the computer 69 of the monitor 19 is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 48. As proven, after detecting that a change for the monitor is turned on (S351), the operator is allowed to pick out the individuals ID quantity and the type of knowledge utilizing the keyboard 70 (S352) and a transmission start command is shipped to the IFU 30 (S353).
Function of the ergometer 15 shall be described together with operation of the microcomputer 48 thereof proven within the flowchart of FIG. 41. As the load detector 180 senses the consumer (S281), the burden measurement and information communication routine (S282) is carried out in a manner similar to the physique weight measurement routine (S151-157) described earlier than with reference to FIG. 21. Thus, upon receipt of the detected body weight knowledge from the ergometer 15, the controller 20 identifies the equipment and the person (see S122-123 of FIG. 7) and looks up column VI of the desk of FIG. 3 to furnish the ergometer 15 with the vital data concerning the body fat content, artery blood pressure and pulse price, and basal physique temperature of the particular particular person. The displacement measurement routine S234 is carried out as proven in more detail within the flowchart of FIG. 33. Much like the physique weight measurement routine described before with reference to FIG. 21, the measurement routine S234 is intended to detect, because the people recognition parameter, the volumetric displacement of the physique of the bather for transmission to the controller 20 and to receive therefrom crucial knowledge required for the measuring and management gadgets related to the bath system 14. Referring to FIG. 33, the microcomputer 45 inputs analog signals from the extent sensor 170 (S261), converts the analog signals to digital signals (S262), calculates the typical stage (S263) and temporally shops the resulting data in the memory (S264).
After the R–R interval of electrocardiogram is measured within the this method, the bath room conditions are modified at S240 in accordance with the newly acquired data to alter the intensity of jet blow and different circumstances such that the diploma of massaging impact is commensurate with the diploma of fatigue of the bather. Measurement of the R–R interval of electrocardiogram (S239) is effected as proven in the flowchart of FIG. 34. First, the microcomputer 45 monitors the output from the electrodes 173 of electrocardiograph to detect the R–R interval of electrocardiogram (S271). In FIG. 42, there may be proven an easy chair sixteen which may be suitably used within the networked well being care system of the invention. The networked health care system 10 described hereinbefore with reference to FIGS. In this method, a high diploma of well being care is performed thereby providing an accelerated recovery from exhaustion. If strain variation is detected, it’s judged that the bather has now entered the bath tub and the measurement of displacement is performed (S234). Within the absence of detection of the bather after a lapse of predetermined time from weight detection by the scale 21, it is decided that use of the bath room will not be intended so that the bath room condition preset is cancelled (S228).
