Research on a monitoring and evaluation platform for mountain sickness of grid construction workers based on disease information entropy

Abstract

<p>The inaccuracy of acute altitude sickness screening has brought great challenges to power grid construction workers in high–altitude areas. Human vital signs monitoring technology is an effective technical means to prevent people from developing altitude sickness. This paper proposes a monitoring and evaluation platform for high altitude sickness in power grid operations based on information entropy of the causes of the illness. First, the vital characteristics data of workers are collected through sensors such as blood pressure and blood oxygen. Secondly, the collected data is transmitted back to the platform by using the Internet of Things technology. The information entropy establishes an analysis model of altitude sickness and generates personnel evaluation reports and treatment recommendations. Finally, the application results of the platform verified that the preventive effect of the platform is much higher than that of the pre–existing physical examination method.</p>

Wearable Sensors for Service Members and First Responders: Considerations for Using Commercially Available Sensors in Continuous Monitoring

“…Although models have been developed to assess risk for developing AMS (Muza, 2018), these population-based models are insufficient for knowing whether an individual will develop symptoms. Activity intensity, acclimatization, and other physiological factors, such as age and respiratory illness, can affect risk (Muza, 2018;Tang et al, 2022).…”

“…Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ ML) modeling techniques can combine periodic vital sign measurements with demographic information and altitude level to evaluate an individual's risk of developing AMS (Tang et al, 2022). Although lower SpO 2 is predictive of AMS, findings related to the relationship between blood pressure (BP), HR, and heart rate variability (HRV) and AMS are mixed (Muza, 2018).…”
