Method and system for continuous monitoring of safety and basic vital signs of patients

摘要

The method for continuous monitoring of safety and basic vital functions of patients is characterized in that the designated monitored facility is within the radio beacon network (RD) coverage in such a way that in every part of the monitored rooms (PMM) diagnostic band (OD) and fall detector (DU) located on the hip belt, provided for each patient (PD), communicate with at least three beacons (RD), performing continuous monitoring via the central beacon (RC) and the IT system monitoring centre (ICMS), in the form of current information transmitted to medical staff (PM) equipped with bands (OP) informing on the whereabouts of patients (PD) in monitored rooms (PMM). In the event of an alarm signal triggered by a fall signal being sent by a fall detector (DU) and/or a signal sent by a diagnostic band (OD) concerning an exceeded threshold value of the measured blood pressure, pulse, patient's (PD) body temperature, or ambient humidity change signal, or concerning the event of leaving the facility by patients (PD), the signal will initiate the alarm procedure in the scope of providing assistance. The system as per the invention includes fixed beacons (RS) in monitored rooms (PMM) located in fixed mapped locations, where patients (PD) equipped with diagnostic bands (OD) and fall detectors (DU) reside along with medical personnel (PM) and/or doctors (L) equipped with personnel bands (OP). In a separate room there is a central beacon (RC) connected by a communication line with the IT system monitoring centre (ICMS). The diagnostic bands (OD), fall detectors (DU), staff bands (OP) and fixed beacons (RS) with interfaces (CAN) via radio modules (MR) installed in them are connected with each other by means of a bidirectional wireless communication (LBP).
