Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the medical field, specifically to an intelligent blood glucose monitoring and timing device system based on environmental triggering. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical medical care, bedside blood glucose monitoring is a crucial aspect of diabetes management and postoperative patient care. According to medical guidelines, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose testing is an important indicator for assessing the effectiveness of blood glucose control. 2-hour postprandial blood glucose helps detect potential postprandial hyperglycemia and reflects the appropriateness of food intake and medication use more accurately than fasting blood glucose. The accuracy of the test results directly impacts treatment adjustments and complication prevention. However, existing bedside blood glucose monitoring procedures still suffer from significant technical deficiencies and operational challenges, leading to low testing efficiency and insufficient data reliability.
[0003] Irregular meal times by patients can lead to missed detection window periods: Hospitalized patients often have irregular meal times due to their condition, medication, or individual differences. Traditional timing tools require nursing staff to set them manually. If they fail to respond promptly to or address the patient's meal behavior, it can easily lead to delays or omissions in initiating the 2-hour detection window, thereby affecting the medical value of blood glucose data.
[0004] Bedridden patients often lack the ability to keep track of time independently: they frequently forget to record meal times or simply forget when they eat. Patients with limited mobility or impaired consciousness are unable to operate timing devices independently and must rely entirely on caregivers to manually record the time. However, manual recording is susceptible to interference from factors such as workload and oversights during shift changes, leading to accumulated timing errors and even instances of timeouts or missed detections.
[0005] The testing process lacks closed-loop verification: existing timing tools only provide one-way reminders and cannot confirm or record the actions taken by medical staff. If a test is not performed in time due to unforeseen circumstances or human negligence after a reminder, the system cannot trigger or generate an incomplete record, creating a loophole in medical quality control and potentially delaying the diagnosis of the patient's condition.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a systematic solution that can automatically and accurately trigger timing processes based on the dining environment and ensure effective execution of tests in order to improve the standardization of blood glucose monitoring and the quality of clinical care. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent blood glucose monitoring and timing device system based on environmental triggering. This system employs a triple triggering mechanism: automatic timing triggered by the dining environment, timed matching with the meal ordering system, and manual overriding of the timing. This achieves a combined function of environmental perception, timed verification, and manual triggering. Combined with a reminder component and an execution confirmation module, it not only accurately records the patient's meal time for timely reminders, preventing missed blood glucose monitoring windows and improving the accuracy of test results, but also offers convenient and efficient operation. Furthermore, the detection execution process features closed-loop verification to ensure effectiveness, and it can generate meal records and corresponding test records.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] An environment-triggered intelligent blood glucose monitoring and timing device system is disclosed. The existing hospital bed includes a bed frame, bed rails, and a dining table. The dining table can be flipped to the side of the bed footboard or perpendicular to the bed frame via a support rod. The system includes a sign, a trigger button, a timing module, and a reminder component. The trigger button is located at the bottom of the dining table. The timing module and reminder component are both located on the sign, which can be mounted on the side of the dining table away from the trigger button. The timing module integrates a countdown program.
[0010] When the dining table is flipped over and perpendicular to the bed, the trigger button contacts and is pressed against the bed rail. The timing module is connected to the trigger button signal to automatically start a two-hour countdown program. The reminder component automatically operates when the two-hour countdown is completed to remind medical staff and patients.
[0011] It also includes an execution confirmation module and an information interface. The execution confirmation module is set on the sign, and the information interface is carried by medical staff. When the information interface is connected to the execution confirmation module, the operation of the reminder component is stopped.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the environment-triggered intelligent blood glucose monitoring and timing device system that adopts the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The intelligent blood glucose testing and timing device system based on environment triggering of this utility model can automatically sense the dining environment and trigger a countdown by operating the existing dining table flip structure, in conjunction with the trigger button, timing module and reminder component, and promptly remind medical staff to perform blood glucose testing when the countdown ends.
[0014] By combining the execution confirmation module and the information interface, a closed-loop verification of the testing execution process can be achieved, ensuring the effectiveness of the testing execution and generating corresponding testing records. The operation is convenient and efficient, and reduces the inconvenience of paper documents.
[0015] Preferably, the trigger button includes a micro switch and a wireless transmission module. When the bed rail comes into contact with the micro switch, the micro switch sends a signal to the timing module through the wireless transmission module. The timely triggering of the contact-type micro switch allows for timely recording of meal times, and the wireless transmission avoids inconvenience related to circuitry and wiring structures, and prevents obstruction of the patient's wiring or mealtime activities.
[0016] Preferably, there are two trigger buttons, one on each side of the bottom of the dining table. This simultaneous activation of the timing module by multiple trigger buttons avoids accidental activation due to pressure on only one side of the dining table.
[0017] Preferably, the sign is equipped with a manual button, which is connected to the timing module via a circuit. The purpose of the manual button is to manually refresh and restart the timing program. In conjunction with the aforementioned environmental triggering method, this allows the timing module to generate the trigger time of the dining environment, the actual dining time, and the recording and correction of multiple time points. This facilitates subsequent viewing and clarification of the actual dining time and increases the accuracy of the test results two hours after the patient's actual meal.
[0018] Preferably, the reminder components include, but are not limited to, indicator light strips and speakers. Through multiple visual and auditory feedback methods, the system maximizes the alerting of family members, caregivers, and medical staff. Family members and caregivers can promptly call for medical staff via the bedside bell, and medical staff in the ward or making rounds can promptly detect and perform blood glucose testing.
[0019] Preferably, the information interface includes, but is not limited to, NFC cards and IC cards. The execution confirmation module uses a card reader compatible with the information interface, and the card reader is circuitically connected to the reminder component. By using close contact, the feedback from the reminder component can be conveniently and efficiently stopped, and corresponding execution operation records can be automatically generated, reducing the use of paper documents.
[0020] Preferably, the timing module also integrates a timed network matching program and a meal ordering system located on the hospital's backend server. The timed network matching program is connected to the meal ordering system via a wireless network module. By matching the meal ordering system's time according to a timed linkage, and in conjunction with the aforementioned environmental triggering and manual triggering methods, multiple time verification measures are implemented, including environmental, periodic, and actual triggering. This automatically records the meal delivery time, the time the dining environment is generated, and the actual meal time. In subsequent blood glucose testing operations, this facilitates the identification of the actual meal time, thereby further increasing the accuracy of blood glucose test results.
[0021] Preferably, the surface of the sign is provided with a mating layer, and the mating layer is a strong magnetic component or an adhesive layer. By using magnetic attraction or direct adhesion, it can accommodate different nursing environments such as single rooms and multi-person wards.
[0022] Preferably, the sign is provided with a hook, and the end of the hook away from the sign is provided with a reinforcing hook body made of elastic material. The hook is used for temporary suspension on the infusion pole, and the elasticity of the reinforcing hook body is used to achieve stability in the temporary suspension state.
[0023] Preferably, the side surface of the sign with the docking layer has a hook groove, and the hook is rotatably connected to the hook groove via a pivot. The edge of the hook groove has a retaining part made of elastic material. The hook groove allows for temporary storage of the hook, thus allowing both the docking layer and the hook structure to coexist, making it suitable for various different usage environments.

[0028] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 The illustrated intelligent blood glucose monitoring and timing device system based on environment triggering is shown.
[0030] The bed structure involved in this case is an existing structure, that is, the existing bed includes a bed body 1, a bed rail 10 and a dining table 11. The dining table 11 can be flipped to the side of the bed footboard or perpendicular to the bed body 1 via a support rod 12.
[0031] This case includes a signboard 2, a trigger button 3, a timing module, and a reminder component 4.
[0032] The trigger button 3 is located at the bottom of the dining table 11. The timing module and the reminder component 4 are both located on the indicator plate 2. The indicator plate 2 can be mounted on the side of the dining table 11 away from the trigger button 3. The timing module integrates a countdown program.
[0033] When the dining table 11 is flipped over and perpendicular to the bed 1, the trigger button 3 contacts and is pressed against the bed rail 10. The timing module and the trigger button 3 are connected to each other to automatically start a two-hour countdown program. The reminder component 4 automatically operates when the two-hour countdown is completed to remind medical staff and patients.
[0034] The trigger button 3 includes a micro switch 30 and a wireless transmission module 31. When the bed rail 10 comes into contact with the micro switch 30, the micro switch 30 sends a signal to the timing module through the wireless transmission module 31.
[0035] Regarding the wireless transmission module 31, existing transmission protocols, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless transmission protocols, can be selected.
[0036] To reduce the risk of the countdown being started incorrectly due to accidental touch of the trigger button 3, there are two trigger buttons 3, which are respectively located on the bottom sides of the dining table 11.
[0037] To further ensure the operation of the countdown program, a manual button 5 is also provided on the sign 2. The manual button 5 is connected to the timing module through a circuit.
[0038] The timing module also integrates a timed online matching program, as well as a meal ordering system set up on the hospital's back-end server. The timed online matching program is connected to the meal ordering system via a wireless network module.
[0039] The timed online matching program can refer to the time synchronization program on the PC or the program that periodically synchronizes the database. The ordering system is configured with "order time", "order content" and "delivery time" and other information. During the time periods of 6:00-8:00, 10:00-11:00 and 16:00-18:00 every day, the delivery time is automatically synchronized every 3 minutes or 5 minutes. When the "delivery time" is synchronized and obtained, the countdown program is started.
[0040] To effectively alert medical staff and patients, the alert component 4 includes, but is not limited to, an indicator light strip 40 and a speaker 41. The light strip can be a brightly colored LED strip. In addition to the light and speaker 41, the alert component 4 can also transmit information to the computer or handheld terminal at the nurses' station via a wireless transmission module 31.
[0041] In addition, to ensure the execution of blood glucose testing, this case also includes an execution confirmation module and an information interface. The execution confirmation module is set on the sign 2, and the information interface is carried by medical staff. When the information interface is connected to the execution confirmation module, the operation of the reminder component 4 is stopped.
[0042] The information interface includes, but is not limited to, NFC card 6 and IC card. NFC card 6 can be a physical NFC card 6 or an electronic NFC card recorded in a mobile phone. The execution confirmation module uses a card reader 7 that matches the information interface, and the card reader 7 is connected to the reminder component 4 circuit.
[0043] In addition to being mounted on the dining table 11, the sign 2 in this case can also be mounted on the bedside table or headboard. It is fixed by direct magnetic attraction or adhesive. That is, the surface of the sign 2 is provided with a mating layer 8, and the mating layer 8 is a strong magnetic attraction or adhesive layer.
[0044] In addition, the sign 2 can also be temporarily hung on the IV stand, that is, the sign 2 is equipped with a hook 9, and the end of the hook 9 away from the sign 2 is equipped with a reinforcing hook body 90 made of elastic material.
[0045] In addition, in order for the sign 2 to be used for connecting to bedside tables, headboards, IV poles, and placing on dining table 11, the hook 9 can be temporarily stored inside the sign 2. That is, the side surface of the sign 2 with the docking layer 8 is provided with a hook groove 20, and the hook 9 is rotatably connected to the hook groove 20 through a pivot. The edge of the groove of the hook groove 20 is provided with a locking part 21 of elastic material (such as elastic silicone or elastic rubber).
[0046] The sign 2 is also equipped with a display screen 23 and a corresponding power button, as well as a control button 24 for reviewing records.
[0047] During use, meals are ordered for the patient one day or half a day in advance and entered into the hospital's meal ordering system. During the time slots of 6:00-8:00, 10:00-11:00 and 16:00-18:00 every day, after lunch or dinner is delivered, the patient, family member or delivery person flips the table board 11 so that the table board 11 is perpendicular to the bed 1. The reminder sign 2 is magnetically attached or pasted on the table board 11, and the micro switch 30 at the bottom of the table board 11 touches the bed rail 10 and starts the countdown program.
[0048] The delivery personnel confirm the end of the current order through a handheld terminal device to the ordering system (refer to the existing food delivery entry procedure). The signboard 2 in this case has a built-in intelligent control motherboard and entry module. After the delivery personnel enter the order number for the signboard 2 corresponding to the bed, the delivery system has the delivery time of the corresponding patient's order. The timing module automatically synchronizes the delivery time every 3 minutes, obtains the "delivery time" of the corresponding patient from the ordering system's database, and enters it into the signboard 2.
[0049] Afterwards, when the patient is having their meal, they can press the manual button 5 to trigger the countdown program, which refreshes and restarts the 2-hour countdown program. The program time triggered by the trigger button 3, the time of the time verification mechanism before and after delivery, and the program time of the manual trigger to overwrite the countdown are all recorded on the display board 2. Through the dining environment and the time verification mechanism, the probability of misjudging the meal time in clinical practice is reduced, with a time error of <±3 minutes.
[0050] In this case, the sign 2 is also equipped with a prompt button 22 connected to the intelligent control motherboard circuit. During the countdown program, the prompt button 22 will flash a faint red light frequently every 2 minutes to remind the patient to eat in time. After eating, the patient can press the prompt button 22 to cancel the red light prompt.
[0051] After the 2-hour countdown is complete, the light bar and speaker 41 will activate simultaneously to remind the patient or their family to press the bedside bell to call the nurse to check their blood sugar, or the timing module will send the message to the computer or handheld terminal at the nurse's station via the wireless transmission module 31.
[0052] When medical staff arrive at the corresponding bed, they can cancel the reminder by using their mobile phone NFC, physical NFC card 6, or IC card attached to the card reader 7 on the sign 2, and then perform the blood glucose test. The card reader will automatically detect and record the results.
[0053] If there are family members or caregivers at the patient's bedside, the sign 2 can also be temporarily suspended on the infusion pole via the hook 9. The operation involves directly applying force to flip the hook 9 out of the hook groove 20, so that the hook 9 is freed from the restriction of the hook groove 20 and the locking part 21. During the process of hooking the hook 9 at the curved position of the infusion pole, the hand should appropriately block the elastic hook. After it is fully hooked, the elastic hook is released to achieve a stable attachment.
[0054] If there are no other people or caregivers at the patient's bedside, an existing metal plate can be attached to the bedside table or headboard. The hook 9 can be flipped over to pass through the locking part 21 and be embedded in the hook groove 20 for storage. The sign 2 is magnetically secured via the docking layer 8, allowing for convenient operation by the patient. These various assembly methods for the sign 2 can accommodate different nursing environments, such as single rooms and multi-person wards.
[0055] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
