Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alarm wristband technology, and particularly to alarm wristbands for bedside monitoring rooms. Background Technology

[0002] The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized nursing unit in a hospital that treats acute, critical, and severe patients. Due to the special nature of the patients admitted, the ICU concentrates the most advanced technologies and equipment in the medical field. Each patient is monitored and treated using multiple instruments. Modern ICUs are designed with independent single rooms, but the nurse-to-patient ratio in Chinese ICUs is typically 1:2.5. During the day, one nurse is responsible for 2-3 patients, while at night, they are responsible for 3-4. The rooms are often quite large, making it difficult for nurses to distinguish whether a monitor alarm is triggered on their assigned patient or what type of alarm has occurred. This hinders nurses from preparing in advance for patient alarms. Therefore, bedside alarm wristbands are urgently needed to address these technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an alarm wristband for bedside monitoring rooms, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a bedside monitoring room alarm wristband, which includes: a monitor and a wristband body, a wristband strap connected to the wristband body, and a wireless transmission module installed on the monitor for wirelessly transmitting monitoring information from the monitor.

[0005] The bracelet itself contains a processor module, a display module, an alarm module, and a power module. The wireless transmission module is electrically connected to the wireless receiving module via a wireless connection. The processor module is electrically connected to a wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module is electrically connected to a voice communication module.

[0006] Preferably, the wireless receiving module is electrically connected to the processor module and is used to receive monitoring information transmitted wirelessly through the monitor. The display module is a touch screen.

[0007] Preferably, the display module is electrically connected to the processor module and is used to display the monitoring information received by the monitor from the processor module.

[0008] Preferably, the alarm module is electrically connected to the processor module, and is used to send alarm reminders to the bracelet body at the same time as sending the information received by the processor module to the display module. The alarm module includes a miniature vibration motor and a speaker.

[0009] Preferably, the wristband is equipped with an NFC module, which is electrically connected to the processor module and is used to interact with external information via the NFC module. NFC information tags are set on both the monitor and the patient's bed.

[0010] Preferably, the wristband strap is provided with a mounting base, and the mounting base has a mounting groove that matches the wristband body.

[0011] Preferably, a charging contact is installed on one end of the wristband body, the charging contact is electrically connected to the power module through the connecting contact, and the power module is installed on the mounting base, the mounting base is equipped with a wireless charging module, and the wireless charging module is electrically connected to the power module.

[0012] Preferably, the wristband body has buckles at both ends, the mounting slot on the mounting base has L-shaped slots at both ends corresponding to the buckles, and a top plate is vertically inserted into one side of the mounting slot.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the top plate extends to the outside of the mounting base, and a magnetic plate is fixed to the bottom of the top plate. The magnetic plate is magnetically connected to the bottom of the mounting base by a magnet.

[0014] Preferably, the wristband is matched with the patient's monitoring information via an NFC module. The wristband is matched with the patient's monitoring information through the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Replace the main body of the wristband and install it with the wristband strap on the medical staff's arm;

[0016] Step 2: Match medical staff information. The wristband will indicate whether the person wearing the wristband is a medical staff member. If yes, proceed with matching the patient; if no, enter a new medical staff member's name to bind the wristband, and then proceed with matching the patient.

[0017] Step 3: The NFC module of the wristband is paired with the NFC of the patient's bed tag, and the patient information is checked for accuracy. If the information is incorrect, the correct patient is re-matched; if the information is correct, the patient's corresponding monitor is matched.

[0018] Step 4: The NFC module of the wristband is paired with the NFC tag of the corresponding monitor, so that the medical staff, the wristband, the patient and the patient's corresponding monitor are paired, and the pairing is completed.

[0019] Compared with traditional technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This bedside monitoring room alarm wristband collects and processes monitoring information received by the monitor from the wireless receiving module through a processor module, and transmits the alarm information to the display module on the wristband itself for display. At the same time, the processor module alerts the medical staff wearing the wristband through the alarm module, enabling them to be informed of the patient's condition in a timely manner. The wristband can also be controlled to mute after an alarm to avoid disturbing others, allowing medical staff to know immediately which patient under their care has triggered an alarm and what the alarm content is, so as to make a rapid response.

[0021] This bedside monitoring room alarm wristband is installed in a mounting slot on a mounting base, with the charging contacts on the wristband connected to the connection contacts on the mounting base. This allows the power module located on the wristband strap to connect to the wristband body and supply power to the electrical components on the wristband body. When the power module on the wristband strap is low on power, the wristband body can be removed from the mounting slot and inserted into the wristband strap with a normal power supply for quick power replenishment. Furthermore, when different nurses need to switch shifts or transfer patient monitoring, they only need to remove their own wristband body and hand it to the other person, making the operation very convenient and avoiding omissions in patient information exchange.

[0022] 3. This bedside monitoring room alarm wristband, through its wireless communication module, enables real-time communication between multiple wristbands. In case of an emergency, nurses can send information to the attending physician's wristband via the wireless communication module, facilitating communication with the attending physician. When medical staff change wristbands, the wristband is automatically re-matched to the wristband strap. Upon power-on, the wristband matches the information of the wearing medical staff and the patient, preventing information discrepancies that could lead to incorrect patient monitoring data. Operation is convenient, with input and settings via a touchscreen. Different patient information can be annotated with text, facilitating the handling of multiple patients and differentiated treatment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0032] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Example 1, see Figure 1-5 As shown, the bedside monitoring room alarm wristband includes: a monitor 1 and a wristband body 2. A wristband strap 3 is connected to the wristband body 2. A wireless transmission module 5 is installed on the monitor 1 for wirelessly transmitting the monitoring information on the monitor 1.

[0034] By transmitting monitoring information collected by a monitor used to measure and control a patient's physiological parameters to the wristband via a wireless transmission module, medical staff can keep abreast of the patient's condition by wearing the wristband strap and the wristband itself.

[0035] The main body 2 of the wristband is equipped with a processor module 8, a display module 9, an alarm module 10, and a power module 4. The wireless transmission module 5 is electrically connected to the wireless receiving module 6 via a wireless connection.

[0036] The processor module collects and processes the monitoring information received by the wireless receiver module from the monitor, and transmits the alarm information to the display module on the wristband. The information is then displayed on the screen of the display module. At the same time, the processor module alerts the medical staff wearing the wristband through the alarm module, enabling them to be aware of the patient's condition in a timely manner. The wristband can also be controlled to mute after an alarm to avoid disturbing others. This allows medical staff to know immediately which patient under their care has triggered an alarm and what the alarm content is, and to respond quickly.

[0037] Nurses can freely choose to receive data from one or more patients under their care that day, and can view alarm information for a particular patient through the display module's screen. This reduces the workload of medical staff and allows them to understand the patient's condition in a timely and effective manner.

[0038] In addition, the wireless receiving module 6 is electrically connected to the processor module 8 and is used to receive monitoring information transmitted wirelessly through the monitor 1. The processor module 8 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 18. Through the wireless communication module, multiple wristbands can communicate in real time. In case of an emergency, the nurse can send information to the attending physician's wristband through the wireless communication module of the wristband and communicate with the attending physician.

[0039] Display module 9 is electrically connected to processor module 8 and is used to display the monitoring information received by processor module 8 from monitor 1. Display module 9 is a touch screen, which can be operated by inputting information or clicking to set settings, making it convenient to operate. It can annotate different patient information with text, making it easy to connect multiple patients and distinguish between them. Alarm module 10 is electrically connected to processor module 8 and is used to send an alarm to wristband body 2 at the same time as the information received by processor module 8 is sent to display module 9. Alarm module 10 includes a miniature vibration motor and a speaker.

[0040] By transmitting monitoring information collected by a monitor used to measure and control patient physiological parameters to the wristband via a wireless transmission module, medical staff can monitor and understand the patient's physical condition in a timely manner by wearing the wristband strap and the wristband itself. The processor module collects and processes the monitoring information received by the monitor from the wireless receiving module and transmits alarm information to the display module on the wristband. The information is displayed on the screen of the display module, and at the same time, the processor module alerts the medical staff wearing the wristband through the alarm module, enabling them to be aware of the patient's condition in a timely manner. This allows medical staff to know immediately which patient under their care has triggered an alarm, what the alarm is, and to respond quickly.

[0041] See Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, an NFC module 7 is installed on the wristband body 2. The NFC module 7 is electrically connected to the processor module 8 and is used to interact with external information through the NFC module 7. NFC information tags are set on both the monitor and the patient bed.

[0042] By setting up an NFC module, it can interact with external information. The wristband can interact with the NFC information card on the patient's bed to record the patient's information and receive and monitor the patient's alarm information, making it convenient to operate.

[0043] Due to the limited size of the wristband, its battery capacity is also limited, requiring frequent charging and resulting in a relatively long charging time. To facilitate rapid power supply to the wristband and enable timely exchange and understanding of patient monitoring information when different nurses change shifts, the following implementation example is provided:

[0044] Example 2, see Figure 2-3 As shown, a mounting base 11 is provided on the wristband strap 3. The mounting base 11 has a mounting groove 12 that matches the wristband body 2. A charging contact 16 is installed on one end of the wristband body 2. The charging contact 16 is electrically connected to the power module 4 through the connecting contact, and the power module 4 is installed on the mounting base 11.

[0045] By mounting the wristband body in the mounting slot on the mounting base, and connecting the charging contacts on the wristband body to the connection contacts on the mounting base, the power module located on the wristband strap is connected to the wristband body and supplies power to the electrical components on the wristband body.

[0046] When the power module on the wristband is low on power, the wristband itself can be removed from the mounting slot and inserted into the wristband with normal power to quickly provide power. Furthermore, when different nurses need to switch shifts or transfer patient monitoring, they only need to remove their own wristband and hand it to the other person, which is very convenient and avoids the omission of patient information during the exchange.

[0047] In addition, a wireless charging module is installed on the mounting base 11, and the wireless charging module is electrically connected to the power module 4.

[0048] The power module on the wristband strap is charged via a wireless charging module, which facilitates charging and makes the wristband waterproof.

[0049] After the power module on the watch band is fully charged, the watch body can be quickly installed. This is achieved by installing the watch body into the mounting slot on the mounting base and connecting the charging contacts on the watch body to the connection contacts on the mounting base.

[0050] See Figure 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the wristband body 2 is provided with buckles 15 at both ends, and the mounting groove 12 on the mounting base 11 is provided with L-shaped slots 13 corresponding to the buckles 15 at both ends. A top plate 14 is vertically inserted into one side of the mounting groove 12. The bottom of the top plate 14 extends to the outside of the mounting base 11. A magnetic plate 17 is fixed to the bottom of the top plate 14. The magnetic plate 17 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the mounting base 11 by a magnet.

[0051] When the wristband body is inserted into the mounting slot of the mounting base, the magnetic plate is moved downwards, expanding the space of the mounting slot and vertically inserting the wristband body into it. At this time, the buckle on the wristband body is vertically engaged with the L-shaped slot at the mounting slot. By turning the wristband body, the buckle is engaged with the horizontal bottom end of the L-shaped slot. Then, the magnetic plate is pushed to move the top plate upwards, restricting the movement of the wristband body and quickly locking it into the mounting slot. The magnetic plate is also magnetically connected and fixed to the mounting base, making installation very convenient. To disassemble, the magnetic plate is moved downwards, allowing the top plate to be moved and removed.

[0052] Example 3: In order to solve the problem of medical staff having to re-match the wristband with the corresponding patient and the patient's monitor when changing different wristbands;

[0053] See Figure 6 As shown, the wristband 2 is matched with the patient's monitoring information via the NFC module 7. The wristband is matched with the patient's monitoring information through the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: Replace the main body of the wristband 2 and install it with the wristband strap on the medical staff's arm;

[0055] Step 2: Match medical staff information. The wristband itself will prompt whether the person wearing the wristband is a medical staff member. If yes, proceed with the patient matching operation; if no, enter a new medical staff member name to bind the wristband, and then proceed with the patient matching operation.

[0056] Step 3: The wristband body 2 NFC module 7 is paired with the patient bed tag NFC and the patient information is checked for accuracy. If the information is incorrect, the correct patient is re-matched; if the information is correct, the patient's corresponding monitor is matched.

[0057] Step 4: The NFC module 7 of the wristband body 2 is paired with the NFC tag of the corresponding monitor 1, so that the medical staff, the wristband body 2, the patient and the patient's corresponding monitor 1 are paired, and the pairing is completed.

[0058] When medical staff change to different wristbands, the wristband itself is re-matched with the wristband strap. Upon powering on, the information of the medical staff wearing the wristband and the patient is matched to avoid information confusion that could lead to incorrect patient monitoring information.

[0059] As can be seen from the above, the bedside monitoring room alarm wristband proposed in this invention collects and processes the monitoring information received by the wireless receiving module 6 from the monitor 1 through the processor module 8, and transmits the alarm information to the display module 9 on the wristband body 2 for display on the screen of the display module 9. At the same time, the processor module 8 alerts the medical staff wearing the wristband through the alarm module 10, so that they can be informed of the patient's condition in a timely manner. This allows medical staff to know immediately which patient under their care has triggered an alarm and what the alarm content is, and to make a rapid response. In case of an emergency, the nurse can send the information to the attending physician's wristband through the wireless communication module of the wristband, and can communicate with the attending physician. Different patient information can be annotated with text, which is convenient for connecting multiple patients and making it easy to distinguish and handle them.

[0060] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
