METHOD OF EVALUATING QUALITY OF BIO-SIGNAL AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING BIO-INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17670684 titled 'METHOD OF EVALUATING QUALITY OF BIO-SIGNAL AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING BIO-INFORMATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for evaluating the quality of a bio-signal. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves receiving a bio-signal as input.
- A quality evaluation region is set within the bio-signal.
- The signal within the quality evaluation region is divided into multiple sub-signals.
- A representative waveform is extracted using these sub-signals.
- The quality of each sub-signal is evaluated based on the representative waveform.
- The overall quality of the signal within the quality evaluation region is evaluated based on the results of the sub-signal evaluations.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical diagnostics: This method can be used to evaluate the quality of bio-signals in medical devices, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) or electroencephalograms (EEGs), ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.
- Wearable devices: It can be implemented in wearable devices that monitor bio-signals, providing real-time quality assessment and feedback to the user.
- Research and development: The method can be used in research settings to evaluate the quality of bio-signals collected during experiments or clinical trials.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate quality evaluation: The method provides a systematic approach to assess the quality of bio-signals, allowing for more reliable analysis and interpretation.
- Efficient signal processing: By dividing the signal into sub-signals and evaluating their quality individually, the method optimizes the processing of large bio-signals, reducing computational burden.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved diagnosis and treatment: Accurate evaluation of bio-signal quality ensures that medical professionals can make informed decisions based on reliable data.
- Enhanced user experience: Wearable devices equipped with this technology can provide users with feedback on the quality of their bio-signals, promoting self-awareness and proactive health management.
- Streamlined research processes: Researchers can efficiently evaluate the quality of bio-signals collected during experiments, leading to more accurate and meaningful results.
Original Abstract Submitted
