About the solution
当你经历过一种称为造口的外科手术时,你会失去对平时理所当然事物的控制。比如:去厕所!
造口是一种解决方法,它将肠的一部分带到胃的外部,并将您的身体产生的废物收集在称为造口袋的袋子中。患者可以选择三种不同类型的造口,但它们都会导致神经末梢被切断,因此你无法控制何时、以及有多少废物排出。
作为肠道移植手术的一部分,我被给予了回肠造口,并且经历了造口袋泄露和溢出的日常生活,以及想要知道废物在何时产生以及产生量的医疗保健专业人员。
目前所知道的唯一方法是将输出清空到测量壶中,然后手动记录数据。这并不容易实施,因此往往没有完成。因此,常常发生例如脱水,电解质损失、甚至堵塞等问题。
95%的患者在前三个月都有渗漏,65%的患者在使用5年后仍然受到渗漏的困扰。在我住院期间,造口袋带来的问题使我的花费明显增加。
因此我在eBay上买了一些零件,主要部件是一个灵活的传感器,它来源于一个任天堂Wii手套。它的原理是,如果你把手放在手套里,弯曲你的手指,手套会发出信号。于是,我也有了同样的想法,如果我可以将柔性传感器放在造口袋的外面,那么当袋子被移动时,也能发出类似的信号。感谢许多YouTube视频和朋友的帮助,使我发明了第一个造口袋传感器。我们建立了合适的算法来测量造口袋中的运动变化。每一个运动都与输出音量相关,进而,我们建立了一个通过蓝牙低能耗模块,并能连接到移动电话免费App的传感器。该应用程序允许患者在手机上设置多个警报,以便在造口袋装满时提醒他们。
没有更多的泄漏和狼藉。此外,该包还能实时自动捕获输出音量,显示在手机上,并使医护人员能够远程监控患者。再也不需要使用容器测量了!之后,我们意识到我们需要监管许可才能使用该设备。因此,我们打电话给美国FDA,他们同意直接帮助我们获得FDA 510K许可。我花时间学习人体因素研究,生物相容性测试和所有需要的项目,9个月后我们终于成功获得批准。同时,我们的设备也获得了CE标记,并且是MHRA的1类设备。我们为我们的产品开发了医院应用程序,并允许最多20名患者连接到医院的一台iPad之上。
现在,我们正在将这一技术转移到泌尿科市场,使之也在腿导管袋上工作。我们的应用程序能够与Apple ResearchKit和HealthKit完全整合。同时,它也可以通过Medicare在美国和各种商业保险公司获得偿付,并且可以从我们的网站直接购买。
这些解决方案不应包括使用药物,化学品或生物制品(包括食品);创伤性设备;冒犯性的,商业或内在危险的内容。该解决方案未经医学验证。请谨慎进行!如果您有任何疑问,请咨询健康专家。
