A general method and device for automatically collecting monitoring data from a monitor

Abstract

The invention relates to a general method and device for automatically collecting monitoring data of various monitors in real time. The method of the present invention is: based on the video output port of the monitor, collects the screen image displayed on the screen of the monitor in real time; performs image recognition processing on the collected screen image, identifies and records the monitoring data corresponding to the current acquisition time. At the same time, the invention also discloses a device corresponding to the above method, which realizes the automatic collection and output of physiological data monitored by all manufacturers and all types of monitors based on the video image acquisition and image recognition output by the monitors. The invention is used in clinical monitors, and can automatically collect physiological data monitored by monitors of all manufacturers and types without relying on the interface communication protocols of monitor manufacturers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computers, and in particular relates to a general method and device for automatically collecting monitoring data of various monitors in real time. Background technique [0002] Clinical monitors are widely used in hospitals and play an important role in the medical care process. The monitor monitors the patient's physiological data in real time in the operating room, ICU (intensive care unit) and ward, and provides extremely important monitoring data for anesthesia and surgery, ward observation, rescue and medical diagnosis. [0003] At present, there are mainly two ways to collect the monitoring data of the monitor. First, the medical personnel manually record the monitoring data by observing the physiological data displayed on the monitor; The communication protocol to the data interface of the monitor can be realized, but based on the second method to realize the automatic collection of monitoring data of all m...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there are mainly two ways to collect the monitoring data of the monitor. First, the medical personnel manually record the monitoring data by observing the physiological data displayed on the monitor; The communication protocol to the data interface of the monitor can be realized, but based on the second method to realize the automatic collection of monitoring data of all monitors, there are many problems that make it difficult to popularize and apply, mainly in the following three aspects:

[0004] (1) This phenomenon exists in different monitor manufacturers, different factory periods of the same manufacturer, and different types of monitors of the same manufacturer, that is, there is no unified monitor data interface and data communication protocol, and monitors used in the same hospital usually They all come from many different manufacturers, and there are many types of monitors. Moreover, if hospital users or third-party developers require monitor manufacturers to provide their interface standards and data communication protocols, they need to sign a strict technical confidentiality agreement, and Install the hardware dongle provided by the monitor manufacturer to automatically collect the only corresponding monitoring data

Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain data communication protocols for all types of monitors in the same hospital, and it is almost impossible to achieve in actual operation;

[0005] (2) Although the HL7 (HealthLevel7) standard was promulgated, all medical equipment interfaces in the future are required to conform to a unified interface standard. However, due to various reasons, this standard has not been well complied with by medical equipment manufacturers. Newly developed medical equipment including monitors The device is still a manufacturer-defined interface standard

In addition, it is impossible to eliminate all the monitors put into use in the hospital at once, and the monitors that do not conform to the HL7 interface standard will be used for a long time, so the automatic collection of monitoring data based on a unified communication protocol is poor in compatibility , poor universality;

[0006] (3) Monitor manufacturers are unwilling to disclose the data interface and data communication protocol of their monitors

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an interface communication protocol that does not depend on monitor manufacturers, and collect monitoring data from all manufacturers and types of monitors in a general way to solve the urgent problems that exist in the current hospital clinical information system. Problem: Cannot automatically collect monitoring data from any type of monitor in real time
