DESC:SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HEALTH PARAMETERS AND HEALTH STATUS OF SUBJECT

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The proposed invention relates to health monitoring, and more particularly to, a system and method for detecting health parameters and health status of a subject.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In general, detection of a health status, particularly, cardiac health status of a subject is important for early detection of heart diseases, since symptoms of the heart diseases are very sporadic in early stages. Sometimes the symptoms of some heart diseases in the subject may not be discovered by timely performing electrocardiogram (10 second ECG) measurements in hospitals.

[0003] In the prior art, various devices such as, Holter monitors, wearable devices/patches, or the like, are used to detect health parameters of the subject. Herein, the health parameters identify the cardiac health status of the subject.

[0004] The Holter monitors involve pasting measurement electrodes on a skin of the subject for a plurality of days. Due to which, the subject may feel uncomfortable and may not engage in normal activities, hence cannot be worn for multiple days. The wearable device/patch is applied to the skin of the subject with an adhesive. The wearable device/patch features multiple layers and embedded electronics to collect health data of the subject. However, the wearable device/patch is prone to detach from the skin of the subject easily, depending on climate conditions in region where the subject is using the wearable device/patch. Specifically in tropical and equatorial regions where the subject sweats frequently, the wearable device/patch can start peeling off easily from the skin of the subject. The reason for this is that the wearable device/patch is waterproof and hence therefore does not let off the sweat collected underneath it.

[0005] Further, as the Holter monitors and the wearable device/patch is required to be worn by the subject for the plurality of days, they may collect large size of health data of the subject, which is very time consuming to transfer it to an external entity and require physical connection. While in some wearable devices/patch with wireless mechanisms, the subject has to be involved in transferring the health data from them to the wireless device and hence to the external entity/server.

[0006] Thus, the above-described devices are not suitable for the subject to wear long term and also for the efficient detection of the health parameters of the subject.
SUMMARY
[0007] Consequently, the proposed disclosure provides a system and method for detecting health parameters and health status of a subject.

[0049] FIG. 4 discloses layers of the disposable patch 960 of the wearable device-patch 900. In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, the wearable device-patch 900 is a lightweight cardiac monitoring patch made of the re-usable electronics 950 and the disposable patch 960 with electrode layer 904 and supporting layers designed for long-term wearability and high mobility under diaphoretic conditions for auto-detection of heartbeats and Arrhythmia.

[0050] The disposable patch 960 of the wearable device-patch 900 comprises a skin layer release liner 902, an electrode gel 901a, an electrode gel ring 901b, a skin layer 901, a breathable waterproof layer 903, a waterproof polyester layer with adhesive layer 903a, a flexible PCB layer 904, a foam layer 906, a battery compartment 905, a device housing 910, a glue layer for the device housing 907, a release liner for the device housing 909, and the re-usable electronics device 950.

[0051] The skin layer (also be referred to as sink layer) 901 is arranged to be in contact with a skin of the subject. The skin layer 901 may be made from non-woven polyester and provided with an adhesive sticking onto the skin/body of the subject.

[0052] Further, the skin layer 901 is a breathable strong and wicking layer with a wing. The wing may also be protected by breathable waterproof layer an ultra-thin polyurethane layer designed for breathability and protecting the skin layer from excessive water. Thus, with the proposed design, the skin layer 901 wings out of the wearable device-patch 900 to allow evaporation of sweat, hence, the skin layer 901 operates as a sink or a wick (for example, capillary).

[0053] The skin layer 901 may comprise ECG gel 901a and gel holding rings 901b for the ECG gel 901a. The skin layer release liner 902 is arranged below the skin layer 901.

[0054] The waterproof layer 903a is a non-breathable polyester waterproof layer arranged between the skin layer 901 and the PCB 904. The waterproof layer 903a prevents sweat and water from coming up to the layers above the waterproof layer 903a. The waterproof layer 903a may comprise a wing 903, which is an ultra-thin polyurethane layer to prevent water and chemicals (for example, soap) from getting into the skin layer 901, while the subject is bathing or coming in contact with rain.

[0055] The flexible PCB 904 (also be referred to as electronics layer) is arranged above the waterproof layer 903. The PCB 904 is configured to enable the reusable electronics/reusable electronics device/electrode 950 to capture the cardiac data of the subject continuously (for example, for all the 24 hours across all the seven days (24X7). The disposable patch 960 comprises a connector 904b to attach the reusable electronics 950.

[0056] The reusable electronics device 950 comprises a local/device storage to store the capture the health data/cardiac data of the subject for a pre-defined number of days, for example, up to 3 days.

[0057] The reusable electronics device 950 also comprises a communication unit to transfer the captured cardiac data of the subject to the server 800 through the wireless device 400. In an example, the cardiac data may be transferred to the server 800 through the wireless device in small packets instead of sharing in large chunks to enable seamless transmission of data. In an example, the communication unit transfers the cardiac data of the subject to the server 800 continuously through the wireless device. In another example, the communication unit transfers the cardiac data of the subject to the wireless device 400 at periodic intervals, for example, for every 40 seconds from there to the server 800. Further, in case if the wireless device 400 fails to establish the connection with the server 800, the captured cardiac data may be stored and appropriately transferred to the server 800 after the connection is re-established between the server 800 and the wireless device 400. Thus, resulting in fool-proof or reliable data collection. In addition, the captured/collected cardiac data from the wearable device-patch 900 may be transferred to the server 800 through the wireless device without involving any manual intervention.

[0058] The battery compartment 905 is arranged above the PCB 904 to provide housing for battery 904a to give power supply to the wearable device-patch 900 to operate.

[0059] The main holding layer/foam layer 906 comprises a foam tape.

[0060] The water proof polyester layer 903a, is layered with adhesive on both ends and is configured to bond the skin layer 901, the PCB 904, and the above layers 905-906 of the PCB 904, thereby, preventing water reaching the device housing and battery compartment.. The water proof polyester layer 903a along with the skin layer 901 and the waterproof layer 903 allows the subject to wear the wearable device-patch 900 for a pre-defined number of days, for example, at least 5 days even in tropical weather or conditions involving diaphoresis.

[0061] The re-usable electronics device 950 is configured to capture the cardiac data of the subject. The glue layer for the device housing 907 is provided with the second release liner 909 to be released to stick the device housing after the re-usable electronics 950 is inserted into it.

[0062] Thus, the proposed design of the wearable device-patch 900 provides unique device housing by enabling electronics reuse and facilitating easy insertion, removal and re-use of the re-usable electronics 950 into the disposable patch 960. Decoupling of the re-usable electronics 950 from the disposable patch 960, make it possible to use the re-usable electronics 950 into a new disposable patch 960. For example, the wearable device-patch 900 may be re-used across different kinds of subjects/patients and extended for tests beyond prescribed days for the same subject. The wearable device-patch 900 may be designed for self-application by the subject (i.e., user/patient).

[0063] FIG. 5 discloses layers/components of the extended/additional electrode 970 in the wearable device-patch 900. The electrode 970 comprises a skin layer release liner 911, an electrode gel 912a, an electrode gel ring 912b, a skin layer 913, a breathable waterproof layer 914, a waterproof polyester layer 915, a flexible PCB Layer 916, an electrode-housing layer 917, and a foam layer 918.

[0064] FIG. 6 discloses an example dashboard application providing status of the wearable device-patch and the status of the health data being transferred for continuous monitoring.

[0065] The server 800 may provide data for an exemplary dashboard application as depicted in FIG. 6. The dashboard provides information about at least one of, but is not limited to, identities (IDs) of each wearable device-patch 900, name of the subjects associated with each wearable device-patch 900, contact numbers of the subjects, data and time about wearability of each wearable device-patch 900 by the subjects, a status of each wearable device-patch 900, information about each wireless device 400 to which the wearable device-patch 900 is connected, a location information associated with the wearable device-patch 900, or the like.

[0066] FIG. 7 discloses an example dashboard application related to cardiac health status of a subject, generated for health assessment.

[0067] The server 800 may provide the health data like ECG to doctor/healthcare personnel for assessment through the dashboard application. As depicted in FIG. 7, the dashboard application provides information about ECG of the subject and other relevant events. Thus with the provided dashboard, the doctor may view ECG, select or unselect leads to view, adjust zoom, gain, and speed, of the like. The doctor may also be provided with onscreen tools to measure ECG signal level and time intervals.

[0068] FIG.s 8A, 8B, and 8C disclose example illustrations of performing various actions on a dashboard application 700 providing information related to a cardiac health status of the subject for reporting.

[0069] Consider an example scenario, wherein the server 800 provides access for the doctor to the dashboard application after receiving the cardiac data of the subject from the wearable device-patch 900 through the wireless device 400, wherein the dashboard application provides ECG data of the subject. In such a scenario, as depicted in FIG. 8A, the doctor may view trends associated with the ECG data, for example, HR and Max RR Trend. The doctor may also review and set min and MAX HR. In addition, the doctor may also review and finalize “Sleep” and “Awake” intervals.

[0070] Further, the doctor may also review shapes or different morphologies of heartbeats from the ECG data, and unmark or reclassify individual or groups of heartbeats, as depicted in FIG. 8B.

[0071] In addition, the doctor may also view analytics associated with the ECG data of the subject, as depicted in FIG. 8C. For example, the analytics may provide information about at least one of, but is not limited to, heartbeat statistics, Arrhythmia Trends, RR histogram, Trends of Max QT and QTc, Min, Max, and Avg HR, or the like.

[0072] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating method steps of a method 9000 performed for detection of the health parameters identifying the cardiac health status of the subject. The method 9000 may be implemented in the system 1000.

[0073] At step 9002, the method 900 comprises capturing, through the wearable device-patch 900, health data of the subject when the wearable device-patch 900 is in contact with the subject.
[0074] At step 9004, the method 9000 provides receiving, through the wireless device 400, the health data of the subject from the wearable device-patch 900 and at step 9006, the method 9000 provides receiving, through the one or more servers 800, the health data from at least one of the wearable device patch 900 and the wireless device 400. The health data is analyzed for generating health information.
[0075] At step 9008, the method 9000 provides receiving and displaying, through the electronic device having the dashboard application 700, at least one of: the health information, the status of the wearable device-patch 900 and the status of the health data through at least one of the wireless devices 400 and the one or more severs 800.
[0076] Details of the method 9000 are similar to details of the system 1000 and hence are not repeated for the sake of brevity.
