Personal health and environmental monitoring device and method

When it comes to monitoring human health, today's consumers are limited to so called “health trackers,” which count steps and calculate calorie burns. Traditional health trackers are only capable of measuring heart rate and are limited to external measurements. These devices are not capable of obtaining the internal body data and do not have access to human fluids. The personal health shield personal cloud case cover (or “health PCCC”) can not only analyze human fluids but also fluids being consumed by the user (food and drinks). The data collected from the fluids is then compared to a cloud or local data base. The results are displayed on a phone, tablet, personal computers, television, or any other device either mounted in the PCCC or connected to the health PCCC.

A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING RESPIRATORY EFFORT

The invention provides a system and method for determining a respiratory effort for a subject. The method comprises obtaining a relaxed signal representing the subject breathing in a relaxed manner and a forced signal representing the subject breathing in a forced manner. A plurality of forced peaks is derived from the forced signal and candidate peaks are selected from the plurality of forced peaks. The candidate peaks are selected based on features of the forced peaks. A user selects a user identified peak from the candidate peaks and thus, a respiratory effort is determined based on the relaxed signal and the user identified peak.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING AND DISPLAYING A HAEMODYNAMIC PARAMETER

Haemodynamic parameters such as the amplitude and phase of a pulse wave passing through a region of interest can be obtained from a video image of the exposed skin of a patient by processing of the reflectance photoplethysmographic signal using signal averaging. The region of interest is defined and a reflectance photoplethysmographic signal obtained by finding the mean pixel intensity across the region of interest for each video frame. Signal averaging is performed on the resulting pulsatile waveform by detecting peaks in the waveform, selecting those parts of the waveform which lie within a window centred on the peaks, and summing the selected parts of the waveform to find an average pulse waveform. The region of interest is then divided into sub-regions and an average pulse waveform for the video sequence is found for each of the sub-regions in the same way. The amplitudes of the average pulse waveforms for the sub-regions can be measured and displayed, for example as a spatial map across the region of interest. The phase of the average pulse waveforms in the sub-regions in the sub-regions relative to the average pulse waveform for the whole region of interest can be measured and displayed, again as a spatial map. The phase and amplitude maps give an indication of the quality of perfusion across the region of interest.
