Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an emergency response and posture management system for cardiac patients capable of tracking the patient's posture and detecting symptoms such as dizziness, cold sweating and enabling faster response times and more accurate diagnoses.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Emergency response and posture management are critical for cardiac patients to ensure prompt medical intervention and optimal recovery. Cardiac events, such as heart attacks, manifest with symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, and cold sweating, which require immediate recognition and swift action. Timely detection and response significantly reduce complications and improve survival rates. Posture management plays a vital role in the care of cardiac patients, as appropriate positioning reduce strain on the heart, improve circulation, and promote comfort. Therapeutic postures help prevent complications like blood clots, pressure sores, and musculoskeletal discomfort, which arise during prolonged hospital stays. Additionally, managing posture effectively supports better respiratory function and aids in the healing process.

[0003] Traditional methods for monitoring cardiac patients often rely on manual assessment and observation by healthcare professionals, including periodic vital sign checks and visual monitoring for symptoms like chest pain or dizziness. Posture management typically involves physical adjustments made by caregivers, without real-time tracking. Manual assessments are delayed, especially in busy hospital settings, leading to slower responses to critical symptoms. Additionally, traditional posture management relies on the experience and judgment of caregivers, which is subjective and inconsistent. This result in improper positioning, leading to complications like pressure ulcers or exacerbating discomfort. Furthermore, traditional methods fail to provide continuous monitoring, making it difficult to track changes in a patient's condition over time.

At least one of those of the physiological measures, which relate to a same type of physiometry, and those of the physiological measures, which relate to a different type of physiometry are sampled. A status is determined for a patient through analysis of those sampled measures assembled from a plurality of recordation points. The sampled measures are evaluated. Trends that are indicated by the patient status, including one of a status quo and a change, which might affect cardiac performance of the patient, are identified. Each trend is compared to worsening heart failure indications to generate a notification of parameter violations.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to develop an emergency response and posture management system for cardiac patients that tracks patient posture and detects symptoms such as dizziness, and cold sweating, enabling faster response times and more accurate diagnoses. Additionally, the system also assists patients in adopting therapeutic postures that promote healing, enhance comfort, and reduce long-term health risks.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an emergency response and posture management system for cardiac patients is illustrated, comprises a rectangular body 101 having a seating base 102 and a vertical backrest 103, a plurality of legs 104 is fixedly attached to the seating base 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed on the body 101, a monitoring module 106 mounted on a dual-axis sliding arrangement 107 arranged along the body 101, a pair of motorized lead screws 108 mounted on slider tracks 109 fixed to seating base 102, a plurality of hinge joints 110 are integrated across the seating base 102 and backrest 103, and a pair of articulated robotic arms 111 mounted on lateral sliders of the body 101.

[0024] Figure 1 further illustrates a medicinal chamber 112 integrated within the body 101 and comprising a motorized L-shaped delivery link 113 with nozzle 114, a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) module 115 attached to a side rail of the body 101 comprising a motorized dual-axis slider 116, a spring barrel cam arrangement 117, a multiple motorized pivot joints 118, an augmented reality holographic projection unit 119 is installed on the body 101 and a strap 120 securing assembly comprising a pair of motorized rollers 121 and safety strap 120 mounted on the body 101.

[0025] The system discloses herein includes a rectangular body 101 having a seating base 102 and a vertical backrest 103 fabricated with a layer of cushioned padding. The seating base 102 is constructed to distribute weight evenly, providing a solid foundation for the patient while promoting proper posture. The vertical backrest 103 is designed to offer additional support to the back and spine. The cushioned padding enhances comfort by reducing pressure on the body 101, especially during prolonged sitting or resting periods. This padded backrest 103 not only provides physical support but also helps in maintaining an optimal posture, preventing strain on the muscles and joints.

[0026] For providing elevation from a ground surface, a plurality of legs 104 is fixedly attached to the seating base 102. These legs 104 ensure stability and support while maintaining the desired height of the structure. The legs 104 are made from durable materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or high-strength plastic. Stainless steel and aluminum are favored for their strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

[0027] A microcontroller activates an inbuilt communication module for establishing a wireless connection between the microcontroller and a computing unit that is inbuilt with a user-interface and accessed by an authorized healthcare professional to provide patient data for personalized assistance and monitoring. The user interacts with the interface through a touch screen, keyboard, or other input methods available on the computing unit. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, laptop, tablet.

[0028] The communication module mentioned herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used in the system is preferably the Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi module enables wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data over radio
frequencies using IEEE 802.11 protocols. It connects to a network via an access
point, converting digital data into radio signals. The module processes TCP/IP
protocols for data exchange, interfaces with microcontrollers through UART/SPI,
and ensures encrypted communication using WPA/WPA2 security standards for
secure and efficient wireless connectivity.

[0029] The user interface allows the input of medical history, submission of questionnaire responses related to heart conditions, and activation of monitoring or follow-up modes. It also facilitates real-time consultation by connecting the patient with the authorized doctor.

[0030] Upon receiving the commands, the microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed on the body 101 for tracking patient’s posture and detecting symptoms including dizziness, and cold sweating. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 is a camera module, that captures images of the user’s body for detecting symptoms including dizziness, and cold sweating. The imaging unit 105 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of user’s body, and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 105 in form of an optical data.

[0031] The imaging unit 105 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller.

[0032] A monitoring module 106 mounted on a dual-axis sliding arrangement 107 arranged along the body 101 to monitor vital physiological health parameters of the patient. The monitoring module 106 comprises an acoustic sensor, a heart rate variability sensor, an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor, and a capacitive sensor. The acoustic sensor detects sound waves and vibrations for monitoring respiratory and vocal activity. The heart rate variability sensor measures variations in time intervals between heartbeats, indicating stress and autonomic nervous system balance. The ECG sensor records the electrical activity of the heart to assess cardiac health. The FBG sensor monitors strain, temperature, or pressure through changes in the wavelength of light reflected within an optical fiber and the capacitive sensor detects changes in electrical capacitance, useful for monitoring proximity, touch, or physiological signals like respiration.

[0033] To enhance the effectiveness and accuracy of monitoring, the module is mounted on the dual-axis sliding arrangement 107 that allows it to move both longitudinally and laterally along the patient's body. This sliding arrangement 107 ensures optimal positioning of the module across different body regions, allowing for comprehensive and customizable monitoring coverage. The dual-axis arrangement comprises two linear guide rails one aligned horizontally and the other vertically forming an orthogonal structure that enables two-dimensional movement.

[0034] The slider or carriage is mounted on each rail, with the monitoring module 106 attached to the vertical axis slider, which itself is mounted on the horizontal axis slider. This setup permits smooth and accurate traversal across the body surface. The movement is through actuators such as stepper motors, with optional position feedback arrangement like encoders or sensors to track the module’s location. The sliding arrangement 107 is mounted on the body 101 aligned with the patient’s body, providing adaptability for different monitoring needs while reducing the requirement for multiple fixed sensors and enhancing overall patient comfort.

[0035] Once the data is analyzed, and if the microcontroller identifies any signs of distress or abnormalities suggesting a potential cardiac event, it triggers predefined therapeutic posture adjustments. These adjustments such as elevating the upper body, tilting the seating angle, or reclining are aimed at improving circulation, reducing cardiac workload, and facilitating emergency response until further medical assistance is provided.

[0036] To adjust and maintain optimal angular alignment of the sitting posture, a pair of motorized lead screws 108 mounted on slider tracks 109 fixed to seating base 102. Each lead screw consists of a threaded shaft and a corresponding nut or carriage that moves linearly along the shaft as it rotates. The rotation is driven by electric motors, often stepper or servo motors, which provide precise control over movement. These lead screws 108 are mounted parallel to slider tracks 109, which guide and stabilize the motion of the moving components, sections of the seating platform such as the backrest 103.

[0037] As the motors turn the lead screws 108, the nuts fixed to parts of the seating structure travel along the screw axis, thereby pushing or pulling the seating segments. This arrangement enables fine angular adjustments to the backrest 103 and seat base 102, allowing the upper body and legs 104 to be repositioned into a medically optimal posture. In emergency heart failure scenarios, an upright or semi-reclined position is often needed to reduce preload and improve respiratory function.

[0038] Further, an inclinometer is mounted on the body 101 to provide angular position feedback in real-time. The inclinometer works by detecting the tilt or angle of the body 101 in relation to a reference point, converting this information into an electrical signal that is sent to the microcontroller. This feedback is used to adjust the position of the body 101, ensuring precise alignment for therapeutic purposes.

[0039] The lead screws 108 and motorized hinge joints 110 are synchronously controlled based on the signals received from both the inclinometer and the imaging unit 105. The inclinometer continuously monitors the angular position, while the imaging unit 105 provides visual guidance or support in real-time. Together, these components enable the body 101 to adjust dynamically, transitioning into a semi-sitting posture for optimal therapeutic positioning, providing enhanced support and comfort, while ensuring accurate and effective positioning based on both the patient's needs and the real-time data from the inclinometer and imaging unit 105.

[0040] Further, for enabling lateral tilting of the patient to a left or right-side orientation, based on blood flow mapping, a plurality of hinge joints 110 is integrated across the seating base 102 and backrest 103. The hinge joints 110 serve as pivotal connection points that allow controlled angular movement between segments of the seating structure. Each hinge joint comprises a rotating axis, support brackets, and locking arrangement to ensure precise movement and secure positioning. The hinges facilitate tilting by enabling sections of the seat or backrest 103 to bend or pivot in a coordinated manner. This targeted tilting action helps redistribute pressure, improve circulation, and optimize patient posture by dynamically aligning the body 101 in accordance with mapped blood flow patterns. The hinges allow the base 102 to pivot into a sectional shape, enabling the couch to transition into a semi-sitting posture for therapeutic positioning, providing enhanced support and comfort. In addition, this functionality ensures optimal alignment for various therapeutic needs.

[0041] Additionally, a pair of articulated robotic arms 111 mounted on lateral sliders of the body 101 and assist the patient in achieving appropriate therapeutic postures and positioning, based on predictive actions initiated by the microcontroller. These robotic arms 111 are equipped with multiple joints and actuators that provide precise, flexible, and adjustable movements, allowing for fine-tuned support and repositioning. The microcontroller, which continuously receives input from various sensors (such as those monitoring blood flow, pressure points, or movement), processes this data and predicts the best course of action to optimize the patient's posture. Based on this prediction, the microcontroller sends commands to the robotic arms 111 to adjust their positions. The arms 111 assist in lifting, rotating, or adjusting the patient's torso, limbs, or head to maintain alignment and comfort.

[0042] Additionally, the robotic arms 111 are pre-fed to execute posture based on various heart disease scenarios. These include elevating the legs 104 and laying the patient flat to address dizziness and low blood pressure, positioning the patient upright at a 60–90-degree angle to help with shortness of breath, turning the patient onto their side with bent limbs to manage vomiting, and placing the patient in a half-sitting position for chest pain or suspected heart attack.

[0043] A medicinal chamber 112 integrated within the body 101 and comprising a motorized L-shaped delivery link 113 with nozzle 114 positioned at an end effector. The chamber 112 serves as the central storage unit for the medication. It is designed to hold various drugs in a stable, sterile environment. This chamber 112 house multiple doses or types of medications that are tailored for different medical conditions. The chamber 112 is equipped with sensors that monitor the drug's condition (e.g., temperature, pressure, or expiration) and also manage the release of the medication in precise quantities, ensuring that only the necessary dose is administered at the correct time.

[0044] The motorized L-shaped delivery link 113 facilitates the movement of the medication from the chamber 112 to the patient. This link 113 is designed with flexibility and precision in mind, allowing for accurate positioning and movement within the body 101. The "L-shaped" design provides both horizontal and vertical motion, allowing the link 113 to navigate the anatomy and reach the patient's mouth with minimal intrusion. The motorized arrangement ensures that the delivery link 113 extend or retract based on the microcontroller’s instructions, positioning the nozzle 114 directly at the appropriate spot in the mouth for effective drug administration.

[0045] The nozzle 114 at the end of the delivery link 113 is a finely engineered that serves as the point of medication release. It is designed to control the flow of the drug with great accuracy, delivering the medication in specific dosages as dictated by the microcontroller. The nozzle 114 is often fitted with small valves or pumps that regulate the release of the drug, ensuring it is dispensed in the right amount and at the right time. These nozzles 114 are designed to spray, drip, or even vaporize the medication, depending on the required form of administration. The nozzle 114 operation is closely tied to the microcontroller, which uses data from past health records and real-time emergency indicators to determine the correct medication and dosage needed for the patient.

[0046] A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) module 115 attached to a side rail of the body 101, comprises of a motorized dual-axis slider 116 for adjusting module 115 position over the patient’s chest area. The dual-axis slider 116 works by utilizing two perpendicular sliding arrangement 107 to move the CPR module 115 in both horizontal and vertical directions. The slider 116 consists of a pair of motorized rails or tracks: one runs horizontally (along the X-axis), and the other vertically (along the Y-axis). Each axis is driven by a separate motor or actuator. These motors are usually powered by electric motors or linear actuators, which convert rotational or linear motion into precise movements of the slider 116.

[0047] The microcontroller coordinates the two motors in such a way that the CPR module 115 positioned exactly where needed over the patient’s chest. For example, if the position of the chest needs to be adjusted for the CPR module 115 to apply compressions effectively, one motor moves the module 115 horizontally, while the other adjusts its vertical position. These movements synchronized or controlled independently depending on the requirements.

[0048] Additionally, a spring barrel cam arrangement 117 configured to generate rhythmic tapping/compression motion for chest compressions. The spring barrel cam arrangement 117 consists of a cam (often barrel-shaped) and a spring that works together to produce the required rhythmic motion. The cam is connected to a rotating shaft or motor that drives the movement of the spring. As the cam rotates, its shape pushes or pulls on the spring, creating force that is then applied to the chest in the form of compressions. The spring’s tension and the cam's profile determine the force applied and the rhythm of the compression, crucial factors for effective chest compression in CPR.

[0049] The configuration of the spring barrel cam arrangement 117 is tailored to adjust the amount of force and rhythm of the chest compressions based on a patient's specific characteristics, such as their age, chest rigidity, and body 101 mass index (BMI). These factors directly influence how much pressure is required for an effective compression and the rate at which it should occur. For example, a younger patient requires less force than an older patient, while someone with a higher BMI may require more substantial pressure for effective chest compressions.

[0050] For replicating CPR hand motion, a compression unit mounted at the end effector of spring barrel cam arrangement 117. The compression unit includes a compression pad or contact surface, which directly interfaces with the patient’s chest, mimicking the palm of the hand during manual chest compressions. This pad is made from a soft yet durable material that ensures the force is distributed optimally without causing injury. Attached to the compression pad is a linkage arrangement that translates the rotational motion generated by the spring barrel cam arrangement 117 into the required vertical or compressive motion. This linkage ensures that the compressions are delivered with the correct depth and frequency. The compression unit also features an actuator or motor that drives this motion, ensuring the compressions are applied at the right speed and force. To monitor the force exerted, force sensors are integrated into the compression unit, providing real-time data that helps adjust the compression depth according to the patient’s specific characteristics, such as age, chest rigidity, and BMI.

[0051] For orienting the module 115 based on patient’s posture, a motorized pivot joint is attached to the body 101 and module 115. is a mechanical component designed to allow controlled movement or orientation of a module 115 (such as a CPR) in response to external stimuli, such as a patient's posture. Each joint consists of a rotational axis, which allows for pivoting or turning, and a motorized actuator that provides the necessary torque to move the joint. The actuator is driven by an electric motor or stepper motor, which receives commands from the microcontroller.

[0052] The pivot joint works by first detecting the current orientation of the module 115 via sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, or encoders. These sensors send real-time data to the microcontroller, which then analyzes the information, comparing it to the required position or angle needed for effective CPR. If the body 101 is misaligned, the microcontroller sends signals to a motorized pivot joints 118 to adjust the module 115 position accordingly. The joints are controlled precisely, ensuring that the system performs CPR correctly based on the patient's specific posture and medical conditions.

[0053] For projecting visual instructions and therapeutic exercises such as ankle pumps, diaphragmatic breathing, leg slides, and hand clenches, an augmented reality holographic projection unit 119 is installed on the body 101. The projection unit 119 utilizes augmented reality (AR) holographic technology to display visual instructions and therapeutic exercises. The unit is designed to project dynamic, interactive visuals that guide the patient through various exercises such as ankle pumps, diaphragmatic breathing, leg slides, and hand clenches. The projection unit 119 functions by integrating with the patient’s pre-registered health profile, which includes personalized health data such as mobility levels, fitness status, and recovery goals. The unit is activated in response to real-time sensor data, which monitors the patient's movements, posture, and activity. These sensors detect changes in the patient’s body position or physiological signals, triggering the projection unit 119 to display corresponding exercises or guidance. The holographic projections appear on the sidewall and are visible in the patient's immediate environment, enabling them to follow along with the movements in real-time.

[0054] Furthermore, a capacitive sensor monitors changes in abdominal circumference for identifying bloating. The capacitive sensors operate on the principle of capacitance, which is the ability to store an electrical charge. The human body, particularly soft tissues such as those in the abdomen, is a good dielectric material that influence capacitance.

[0055] The capacitive sensor is composed of two conductive plates arranged in a way that they form a capacitor. These plates is placed in close proximity to the skin, but without directly touching it. The abdominal region, which consists of the skin and underlying tissues, creates a dielectric medium between these plates. When a person’s abdomen expands due to bloating, the physical change in the abdominal circumference (i.e., the increase in volume of the abdominal cavity) alters the distance between the plates or the dielectric properties of the tissues, thereby changing the capacitance between the plates.

[0056] The sensor detect these subtle changes in capacitance by applying an alternating current (AC) signal between the plates and measuring the response. The more the abdomen expands, the greater the change in capacitance. This data is continuously collected and analyzed to identify whether the changes in abdominal circumference align with patterns typically associated with bloating.

[0057] The capacitive sensor is connected to the microcontroller that processes the data, often in real-time. The microcontroller is programmed with machine learning protocols that differentiate between bloating and other conditions, like heart attacks, based on how the changes in the abdominal circumference correlate with other symptoms or sensor data (e.g., pulse, temperature, or even pressure). If the sensor detects significant and consistent changes in abdominal size that match bloating patterns (such as increased pressure or bloating from gas accumulation), the microcontroller suggest certain actions like body repositioning, breathing exercises, or other interventions aimed at relieving bloating. It also differentiates these symptoms from those associated with a heart attack, such as chest pain or shortness of breath, and may alert the user to seek medical help if the symptoms suggest a heart attack.

[0058] To secure the posture during therapy or emergency procedures. The motorized rollers 121 are cylindrical components powered by small motors. These rollers 121 are strategically positioned on the body 101, and are connected to strap 120. The rollers 121 are designed to rotate in response to motorized commands, which allows them to either wind or unwind the strap 120. When the patient comes in contact with the body 101, the motorized rollers 121 begin to rotate, tightening the strap 120 around the patient’s body.

[0059] Once engaged, the motor turns the rollers 121 in such a way that the strap 120 is drawn tighter. The rollers 121 are adjusted in terms of speed and tension, ensuring that the strap 120 provide a secure and comfortable fit without causing discomfort or harm to the patient. The motor precisely control how much the strap 120 are tightened, offering a balance between securing the patient and avoiding excessive compression.

[0060] The safety strap 120 are typically made of strong, flexible materials such as high-grade nylon, polyester, or a similar synthetic fabric. These materials are chosen for their durability, resistance to wear and tear, and ability to withstand high tension without breaking or stretching excessively. The strap 120 are often coated or reinforced with additional materials to enhance their abrasion resistance and to ensure they remain secure during extended use.

[0061] The strap 120 are mounted on the rollers 121 in such a way that as the rollers 121 rotate, they pull the strap 120 taut, creating a snug fit around the patient's body. The design of the strap 120 is such that they distribute pressure evenly across the body, preventing localized discomfort while maintaining a secure hold. The safety strap 120 are also adjustable, meaning that they accommodate different body sizes and shapes, providing versatility in their use.

[0062] Lastly, a battery is installed within the system which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is preferably a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the system a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the system is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the system i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the system from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0063] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the rectangular body 101 as disclosed in the invention is installed with seating base 102 and vertical backrest 103 padded for comfort, promoting proper posture. The body 101 is supported by the plurality of durable legs 104 made of stainless steel, aluminium, or high-strength plastic. The wireless communication is enabled through the Wi-Fi module, which connects the system to computing units like smartphones, tablets, or laptops for real-time monitoring and consultation by authorized healthcare professionals. The system includes the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105, capable of detecting symptoms like dizziness and cold sweating using a camera module with integrated AI protocols for analysing optical data.

[0064] In continuation, the dual-axis sliding monitoring module 106, equipped with sensors like ECG, acoustic, heart rate variability, FBG, and capacitive sensors, provides continuous health monitoring. The system adjusts seating angles with motorized lead screws 108 and hinge joints 110, while the inclinometer and imaging unit 105 ensure precise posture alignment. The articulated robotic arms 111 assist in repositioning based on patient data, and the medicinal chamber 112 delivers medication via motorized L-shaped delivery link 113.
