Chapter 339 This upgrade is a bit fierce, multifunctional portable monitor(1/2)
Wei Kang is also happy to see overseas encephalopathy patients flocking to China for treatment.
You can't hide this from him. Just look at the monthly sales data and it will be clear.
Originally, he was prepared to completely lose the overseas market.
Unexpectedly, domestic and foreign capital actually united to find new ways to open up new tracks and provide him with money.
Sure enough, when it comes to wielding a sickle and harvesting patients, capital never lags behind others.
For the Sanqing Dynasty, this was a loss and a gain.
However, Weikang’s requirements are not high. We don’t expect much overseas sales of this new drug. As long as we can continue to make money from overseas patients and subsidize domestic patients, that will be enough.
Moreover, domestic capital also gets a share of this cake, which also drives the development of the domestic private medical market.
Overall, it is a win-win situation.
Wei Kang was filled with emotion while looking at the sales report in the office.
Suddenly, with a ding, I received a work report email from Lu Tingfeng.
It turns out that less than half a year later, the preliminary cooperation between Sanqing Medical Device Division and the Aerospace Center has produced results.
By equipping astronauts with smart watches and conducting 24-hour ECG monitoring, the two parties have clearly studied the impact of environmental factors on the space station on ECG function, and have a reliable parameter that can be compared with the situation on the ground.
After the AI diagnostic technology updates relevant parameters, it can now monitor the physical condition of astronauts in real time and perform diagnosis with an accuracy rate of over 90%.
Such a result undoubtedly made the space center full of surprises, and they lamented that seeking cooperation with Sanqing was indeed the most correct thing they had ever done.
At the same time, Fang Heng, who was in charge of the project at the space center, also called Wei Kang again.
"General Health Minister, on behalf of all my colleagues at the space center, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Wei Kang still behaved low-key and modestly: "You're welcome, this is scientific research cooperation, we just did what we should do."
"Haha, in that case, can we start the next stage of cooperation? We are looking forward to it."
Fang Heng seemed to be gearing up and eager to give it a try. Perhaps the successful cooperation with Sanqing gave him bolder ideas.
Wei Kang immediately remembered what he said last time.
The aerospace center wants to work with Sanqing on research and development. In fact, it should entrust Sanqing to develop a portable monitor the size of a smart watch.
Not only must it have the function of 24-hour monitoring of conventional life parameters, but it must also adapt to the complex use environment of space, such as near-vacuum environment, strong radiation, microgravity, large temperature differences, aerial flight, etc.
It sounds quite difficult. Ordinary scientific research institutions dare not set up projects without a five-year or ten-year plan.
However, this is not too difficult for Wei Kang.
He had promised the other party last time, and there is indeed a market for this thing. If the civilian version is successfully developed, it will be a dimensionality reduction blow to home monitors. Sanqing can rely on this product to gain a foothold in the field of medical devices.
.
Thinking of this, Wei Kang smiled and replied.
"Understood, we want to develop a portable universal monitor, right? Then just do as I said last time. I will notify Lu Tingfeng and you can continue to cooperate."
"Great, we are ready and can start new projects at any time."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang couldn't help but ponder.
The modules of the portable ECG monitor are drawn from the system and are not Sanqing's own research and development results.
If we want to continue to develop portable universal monitors, we must upgrade the system.
Fortunately, the rewards given by the system are all in the simple version at the beginning. If you want to get more features, you can only upgrade to the advanced version through points.
For example, the smart laboratory system obtained in the previous lottery was upgraded to an AI pharmaceutical system with one million points, which played a huge role in the research and development of new drugs. The latter's AI functions are far greater than those of a smart laboratory system.
Too powerful.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the system panel.
Prize: Portable monitor (module)
Color: silver
Category:Auxiliary tools
Level: Junior
Development: Medical device direction, points can be used to upgrade other functions
Function: dynamic heart monitoring
Sure enough, you can use points to upgrade.
Just like the AI pharmaceutical system, one million points should be able to handle it.
"System, upgrade the portable monitor module."
"Ding! Upgrading is in progress."
Ten seconds passed.
"Ding! The portable monitor module has been successfully upgraded."
Then, a small silver box appeared on the desk in front of him.
Familiar shape, all silvery white, crystal clear, shining with metallic light.
Wei Kang couldn't help but rub his hands in anticipation. Based on this extraordinary appearance, the contents inside would definitely not disappoint him.
"System, open the box and let me see what the prize is."
The silver box slowly opened, and a drawing slowly rose and appeared in front of him.
Wei Kang's eyes widened and he looked over.
It is still a familiar industrial design drawing, but it is much more complicated than the last one.
Checking the properties again, it turns out that the portable detector module has undergone many changes.
Prize: Portable monitor (module)
Color: silver
Category:Auxiliary tools
Level:Advanced
Development: medical device direction
Function: A variety of monitoring functions, which can dynamically monitor blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, ECG, body temperature, and respiratory rate 24 hours a day
Wei Kang was immediately shocked.
Why did it jump directly from a single function of ECG monitoring to so many functions as soon as I upgraded?
Jump directly from beginner to advanced? Is there no intermediate stage?
He also thought that he could upgrade one function at a time and upgrade it several times before achieving a grand slam.
Unexpectedly, one million points is enough to complete all-round upgrades.
Six common life parameters, including heart rate, electrocardiogram, real-time body temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate, can be monitored, which can be described as a qualitative leap.
The final rendering still looks like a smart watch, which can be worn on the wrist to achieve portable monitoring functions of a variety of life parameters.
To his surprise, despite upgrading so many functions, the core module of the monitor is still very small. Compared with the old model, the size has not changed, but the integration level is much higher and the accuracy is also very high.
Not only has the number of electrodes increased to three, but it also integrates a miniature photoelectric sensor, which can emit near-infrared light as an incident light source, measure the light transmission intensity of the tissue bed, and calculate hemoglobin concentration and blood oxygen saturation.
Similar non-destructive blood oxygen measurement instruments are also used in clinical applications. They use special sleeve-type instruments. The measurement accuracy is not too high. I don’t know if the accuracy of the monitor provided by the system will be higher.
As for the relationship between respiratory rate and pulse, a normal adult has a pulse beat 4 times for every breath, and the ratio of breath to pulse is 1:4. Therefore, it is not surprising that the pulse can be measured, and the respiratory rate can also be measured.
.
As for blood pressure, wrist-based electronic blood pressure measuring instruments have also been released, but they also have accuracy issues.
In short, the measurement of these six conventional life parameters is not a big problem technically, but in terms of portability, integration, and accuracy, conventional products are far from meeting the needs, and there is a big gap between them and the medical level.
In other words, products for home use are not functional, while powerful medical products are very bulky.
The only one that can be portable and easy to use is the one from Wei Kang.
It can be said to be a new breakthrough in the field of monitors.
You must know that these six general vital parameters include the four vital signs of body temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure, which are very important to the human body.
They are the pillars that maintain the body's normal activities and are indispensable. Any abnormality in any one of them will lead to serious or fatal diseases. At the same time, certain diseases can also cause changes or worsening of these four signs.
Therefore, the judgment of the four major physical signs has become an important basis for judging whether the human body is healthy or not.
For example, human body temperature is generally constant at 36-37 degrees. If there is an abnormality, an increase in body temperature often means bacterial infection, inflammation, heatstroke, influenza and other symptoms. A lower than normal body temperature is often caused by shock, heavy bleeding, malnutrition, etc.
Frostbite, etc.
Normal people's breathing rhythm is uniform and the depth is appropriate. Abnormal breathing often means asthma, pneumonia, anemia, acidosis, electrolyte imbalance, heart disease, uremia and other diseases.
Not to mention abnormalities in pulse and blood pressure.
Among the commonly used criteria for determining vital signs outdoors, respiration and pulse are also extremely important indicators.
