METHOD OF CONTROLLING LEVEL OF WAKEFULNESS OF HUMAN BEING AND SYSTEM TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61B5/18 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: abdominal muscle tone is recorded and time is noted at which it falls below a given initial threshold value, indicating low level of wakefulness of the person. The time interval during which abdominal muscle tone assumes a value below the given threshold value is measured, and if the measured time interval exceeds the threshold value, the level of wakefulness of the person is low. Abdominal muscle tone of the person is recorded by measuring the pressure force applied by prelum abdominale on the belt on the waist of the person. Control is done using a system, which contains a pressure force sensor, audio-touch signalling unit, transmitter, receiver, information signal processing unit, warning signal control unit, connected to a warning audio-touch signalling unit and unit for controlling brake unit of the actuating mechanism, as well as mobile tranceivers, dispatcher monitor for displaying current functional state of the person.

EFFECT: more reliable control.
