Flexible adhesive bandage type heart rate meter
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of wearable equipment, in particular to a flexible adhesive bandage type heart rate meter.
Background
Along with the rapid development of socioeconomic, the pressure caused by living is endangered to the health of human beings, and the abnormal heart rate of the human beings is often caused when the pressure is too high and the mental stress, and finally, various diseases are caused by the long-term abnormal heart rate. Therefore, people's attention has been shifted from the fields of diet safety and medical care to the field of real-time monitoring of physical conditions. In order to meet the increasing technical demands of various domestic and foreign enterprises and scientific institutions, various wearable devices are developed in a dispute, and particularly, the portable heart rate meter is widely focused on the research.
The heart rate meter in the market at present mainly takes a wrist strap type structure as a main body, and is assembled into a wearable heart rate meter through matching with heart rate sensors of different types. The heart rate sensor is classified into a photoelectric type, a pressure-capacitance type and a piezoresistive type according to the detection principle, wherein the photoelectric type is most widely used due to the advantages of non-invasiveness and non-contact, however, the measurement error of the photoelectric type heart rate sensor is easily caused due to the difficulty in grasping the tightness degree of the wrist strap, and the detection signal is too weak and too tight due to the too loose detection signal, so that the wearer is uncomfortable. In addition, the photoelectric heart rate sensor measures heart rate through light reflection, and according to the principle that blood vessels of the whole body of a human body have tiny fluctuation when the heart beats, the pulse signal of the human body is obtained by emitting light beams to subcutaneous blood vessels and detecting the periodical intensity change of reflected light in real time. When the sensor is used, measurement errors are easily caused by factors such as light interference caused by environment, skin color of a wearer, sweat, fat thickness and the like, and once the sensor is abnormal in function, the heart rate meter is required to be replaced integrally, so that the cost is high.
Therefore, the invention of a portable heart rate meter which can accurately measure in real time and ensure good wearing experience is an urgent need for development of portable medical equipment.
