VITAL SIGNS MONITORING DURING PHOTOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT BASED ON CAMERA Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61N5/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for remote acquisition of information on vital signs of a living being undergoing phototherapeutic treatment is performed by means of a device. Device comprises an illumination unit for providing phototherapeutic treatment to a living being, a unit for detecting light of a wavelength interval, reflected from the area of investigation of a living being, for generating an input signal based on the detected light, a processing unit and a control unit. Lighting unit comprises an LED array, a first light source for emitting phototherapeutic light and a second light source for light emission with a frequency spectrum suitable for remote photoplethysmography. Control unit is configured to control the first and second light sources for alternate illumination of the survey area. Control unit is configured to control the LED array to obtain a light structure on the investigation area. Processing unit is configured to detect changes in the light structure on the study region based on the detected light and detecting the respiratory rate based on evaluating certain changes in the light structure. Interface of the lighting unit is configured to directly control the lighting unit and / or directly obtain information on the configuration of the lighting unit from the lighting unit. Light of the wavelength range reflected from the living entity is detected and an input signal is generated based on the detected light. Input signal is processed and information on vital signs is determined by remote photoplethysmography and / or analysis of the motion of a living being. Communication is established through the illumination unit interface with the lighting unit to provide phototherapeutic treatment. Detection unit and/or the lighting unit are controlled based on the configuration of the detection unit and based on the configuration of the lighting unit.

EFFECT: provides remote monitoring of vital signs of a living being, which at this time receives highly effective phototherapeutic treatment.
