PHYSIOLOGICAL STATE INDEX CALCULATION SYSTEM, PHYSIOLOGICAL STATE INDEX CALCULATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969829 titled 'PHYSIOLOGICAL STATE INDEX CALCULATION SYSTEM, PHYSIOLOGICAL STATE INDEX CALCULATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system, method, and computer-readable medium for calculating a physiological state index by capturing subtle changes in the physiological state of a living body.

  • The system includes a band-pass filter that filters cerebral blood flow waveform information in specific frequency bands.
  • The filtered cerebral blood flow waveform information is then converted into a complex number by a complex number conversion unit.
  • The converted cerebral blood flow waveform information reflects the physiological state of the living body.

Potential Applications

  • Medical monitoring: The technology can be used in medical settings to monitor the physiological state of patients, allowing for early detection of abnormalities or changes in health conditions.
  • Stress management: The system can be utilized in stress management applications to measure and analyze the physiological state of individuals, providing insights into their stress levels and helping them manage stress more effectively.
  • Performance optimization: The technology can be applied in sports or other performance-related fields to monitor and analyze the physiological state of athletes or performers, helping them optimize their performance and prevent injuries.

Problems Solved

  • Sensing subtle changes: The system addresses the challenge of capturing and quantifying subtle changes in the physiological state of a living body, which can be difficult to detect using conventional methods.
  • Real-time monitoring: The technology enables real-time monitoring of the physiological state, allowing for immediate feedback and intervention if necessary.
  • Non-invasive measurement: By utilizing cerebral blood flow waveform information, the system offers a non-invasive approach to measuring the physiological state, avoiding the need for invasive procedures or sensors.

Benefits

  • Early detection: The system's ability to capture subtle changes in the physiological state allows for early detection of health issues or abnormalities, enabling timely intervention and treatment.
  • Personalized insights: By analyzing the physiological state, the technology provides personalized insights into an individual's health condition, stress levels, or performance potential, allowing for tailored interventions or optimizations.
  • Non-invasive and convenient: The system's non-invasive measurement approach and potential integration with wearable devices make it convenient for continuous monitoring without causing discomfort to the user.


Original Abstract Submitted

A physiological state index calculation system, a physiological state index calculation method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for capturing subtle changes in a physiological state of a living body are provided. The physiological state index calculation system includes a band-pass filter that filters cerebral blood flow waveform information obtained from a cerebral blood flow of a living body in at least one frequency band, and a complex number conversion unit configured to convert the filtered cerebral blood flow waveform information into a complex number for at least one frequency band. The cerebral blood flow waveform information converted into a complex number by the complex number conversion unit is an oscillator that reflects a physiological state of a living body.
