TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medical health, and particularly relates to an intelligent monitoring hand washing rate and patient safety reminding device, and an application method and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the progress and development of science and technology, the medical service level is continuously improved, and multi-disciplinary collaborative comprehensive treatment will inevitably become the best treatment plan. With the addition of multi-disciplinary, the personnel serving the patient treatment will increase, but the execution of the hospital infection requirements by each department and each person is uneven, and it is difficult to manage, and some hospital infection requirements have low execution rate, which is easy to cause unnecessary cross infection to the patient.

[0003] For the hospital infection requirements, not only the medical staff is required to strengthen the hospital infection prevention measures, but also in the interaction process with the patient, especially in the case of taking contact measures to the patient and accompanied by infection, the medical staff is required to pay attention to whether the behavior of the patient will cause self-harm or strengthen the risk of infection, and also pay attention to the safety of the patient. Both the hospital infection prevention and the safety of the medical staff and the patient should be considered.

[0004] For the hospital infection prevention, hand washing is the lowest cost and the most effective method to reduce or even block cross infection, so it is necessary to strengthen the hand washing monitoring and reminding of the medical staff.

[0005] Among them, if the medical staff contacts the patient, leaves the patient in order to wash hands in time, and if the patient has an accident, such as many patients, especially brain surgery patients, sometimes will be agitated, if the medical staff cannot find and stop in time, the patient may have a bed fall, extubation and other accidents. Therefore, if only the hand washing of the medical staff is considered to prevent hospital infection, and the safety of the patient is not considered, it is difficult to avoid that a small problem causes a big problem, and causes greater medical harm.

[0077] In addition, for the purpose of convenience and brevity, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present disclosure. In some instances, well-known structures, materials, and techniques have not been described in great detail in order to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure.

[0078] Embodiment 1

[0079] In one aspect of the present application, an intelligent monitoring hand washing rate and patient safety reminding device is provided, comprising:

[0080] A monitoring system is configured to monitor and collect patient camera images and report to a background server.

[0081] A background server is configured to receive and analyze the patient camera images and determine whether the following situations occur in the patient camera images:

[0082] (1) The hands of medical staff are in contact with the patient;

[0083] and / or

[0084] (2) The patient performs a preset action;

[0085] When any of the above situations occurs, a corresponding alarm signal is generated and a response is performed to remind the medical staff to wash their hands and / or to perform emergency care for the patient.

[0086] A hand washing system is configured to allow medical staff to wash their hands, and after the medical staff wash their hands, a corresponding hand washing signal is uploaded to the background server, and the background server generates a corresponding hand washing record.

[0087] A background database is configured to save the patient camera images, alarm signals, and hand washing records.

[0088] As Figure 1As shown, the device is composed of a monitoring system and a hand washing system, and a background server. Each ward is equipped with a monitoring system and a hand washing system (integrated system). The data of the monitoring system and the hand washing system are uploaded to the background server for processing through the network. The background server can send and save data in the background database.

[0089] The background server can also share data upon application of a terminal such as a PDA, or respond to corresponding instructions / signals issued by the background to the monitoring system and the hand washing system.

[0090] In this embodiment, the image recognition application software / algorithm installed on the background server, such as CNN algorithm, SSD, etc., can perform image recognition and motion feature analysis from the monitoring camera image, and determine the basic motion of the hands of medical staff and whether the patient has a preset motion situation according to the extracted motion features. The application related to motion recognition is not described in detail in this embodiment. As long as the algorithm or recognition application can be used to identify the monitoring image and determine the motion according to the motion features in the image, it can be used in this embodiment. For example, the patent with publication number CN114533038A: method for visually recognizing and determining continuous motion process, which can recognize continuous motion.

[0091] The monitoring system mainly monitors the patient through the monitoring camera, monitors the behavior and action of the patient and the action of the medical staff when contacting the patient, and uploads the monitoring image to the background server to determine whether the patient has a preset motion or whether the hands of the medical staff and the patient contact the patient.

[0092] The background server identifies and determines whether the above situation occurs according to the monitoring image. If it occurs, the corresponding alarm signal is generated and issued, and the voice module of the ward monitoring system broadcasts it to remind the medical staff to wash their hands before or after contacting. After hearing the alarm signal prompt, the medical staff can wash their hands at the hand washing system in the ward.

[0093] The hand washing system is an automatic spraying hand washing system based on infrared sensing recognition. The hands are placed in front of the infrared sensor, which will feed back to the processor after sensing, and automatically control the pressure pump to spray disinfectant, so that the medical staff can disinfect and wash their hands.

[0094] The processor can report the sensing signal as a hand washing signal to the background after sensing the infrared sensing signal, and the background can generate a hand washing record of the current medical staff.

[0095] If it is found that the patient performs the preset action subsequently, an alarm can also be given in the above manner, and the medical staff is reminded to perform emergency care on the current patient through voice, and the care measures are self-defined, which are not limited in the embodiment. During the care of the patient, if contact occurs, it is processed in the above manner, and the medical staff is reminded to wash hands. After each contact processing, corresponding hand washing records are generated, which are recorded and saved in the background database by the background. In the nurse station center, the hand washing records and other information of each medical staff, including hand washing records and care logs, etc. can be viewed by logging into the background through a PDA terminal or the like.

[0096] As shown in Figure 2 As an optional embodiment of the present application, the monitoring system comprises:

[0097] a scanning camera for collecting a patient camera image and sending it to a processor;

[0098] a processor for forwarding the patient camera image to a 5G communication module after processing the patient camera image;

[0099] a 5G communication module for reporting the patient camera image to a background server, and after the background server judges the patient camera image and generates a corresponding alarm signal, forwarding the alarm signal issued by the background server to the processor, and subsequently receiving and forwarding the alarm signal to a voice module by the processor;

[0100] a voice module for reminding medical staff to wash hands or perform emergency care on a patient in response to the alarm signal;

[0101] a power module for power supply;

[0102] The scanning camera, 5G communication module, voice module and power module are respectively electrically connected to the processor.

[0103] The monitoring system in the ward mainly comprises a scanning camera and a voice module, a 5G communication module, a processor and a power module. The 5G communication module, the processor, the voice module and the power module can be used as common electronic hardware of the hand washing system and the monitoring system. The 5G communication module can realize the communication middleware between the hand washing system and the monitoring system and the background server, and perform data communication between the background server and the monitoring system.

[0104] The power module can be powered by a lithium battery.

[0105] The voice module can adopt a speaker, and can perform voice broadcast after issuing a corresponding alarm signal in the background, reminding medical staff to wash hands, or reminding medical staff to provide emergency care for patients. The scanning camera can be installed on the nursing bed frame of the patient bed, can be aimed at the patient, and can monitor the patient. When the nursing staff contacts the patient, the monitoring image is sent to the processor, the processor processes the image in real time, and then sends the image to the 5G communication module. The 5G communication module reports the monitoring image to the background, and the background further analyzes and judges the image.

[0106] As shown in Figure 3 , as an optional embodiment of the present application, the hand washing system comprises:

[0107] An infrared sensor is configured to detect an infrared light signal of hands when the medical staff washes hands, and feed back the infrared light signal to the processor;

[0108] The processor is configured to issue a working instruction to the pressure pump according to the infrared light signal;

[0109] The pressure pump is configured to pump the disinfectant to the disinfectant spraying head to discharge the disinfectant for the medical staff to wash hands in response to the working instruction;

[0110] A disinfectant system is configured to provide the disinfectant;

[0111] The infrared sensor and the pressure pump are respectively electrically connected to the processor.

[0112] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the processor is further configured to:

[0113] Generate a corresponding hand washing signal according to the infrared light signal, and report the hand washing signal to a background server through a 5G communication module.

[0114] The hand washing system adopts an infrared sensing spraying technology. When washing hands, the hands are placed under the spraying head, the infrared sensor continuously emits infrared light, and the infrared feedback is obtained when the hands are contacted and fed back to the processor. After the processor contacts the infrared signal, a working instruction is issued to the pressure pump, the pressure pump works, the disinfectant in the disinfectant system is pumped to the disinfectant spraying head for spraying, and the medical staff washes hands.

[0115] The processor can take the infrared feedback as the hand washing signal of the current medical staff, and report the hand washing signal to the background through the 5G communication module. The background generates a hand washing record of this time.

[0116] As shown in Figure 4 , in order to save hardware, the same parts of the hand washing system and the monitoring system in the embodiment can be shared.

[0117] For details, seeFigure 4 Schematic diagram of the common system composition relationship of the hand washing system and the monitoring system.

[0118] Before and after the medical staff's hands contact the patient, the infrared camera of the monitoring system can take pictures and upload them to the background, the background can analyze and identify the images, find the contact action, and then issue an alarm signal to remind the medical staff to wash their hands. The background can generate corresponding post-washing records according to the hand washing feedback (infrared sensing signal).

[0119] The medical staff's hands contact the patient, including the following contact methods:

[0120] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the background server is further configured to:

[0121] When it is determined that the first action image of the medical staff's hands preparing to contact the patient appears in the patient image, the alarm signal is continuously issued at a preset message frequency and is forwarded to the processor through the 5G communication module;

[0122] The voice module responds to the alarm signal to remind the medical staff to wash their hands;

[0123] When the hand washing signal reported by the processor through the 5G communication module is received, the alarm signal is stopped;

[0124] The first hand washing record generated this time is saved to the background database.

[0125] The camera scanning device focuses on scanning the hands. If the camera captures hands preparing to contact the patient, but does not identify the operation of using the automatic hand washing device within 30 seconds before that, it indicates that the hands preparing to contact the patient are not disinfected. At this time, the sound of "please wash your hands first" will be heard automatically until the device senses that the automatic hand washing device is used, and the sound is automatically removed. If the automatic hand washing device is not triggered or manually turned off after the reminder, it will be defaulted as not washing hands. At the same time, this time of not using the hand washing device will be counted into the hand washing rate statistical data. The background can check the time of not washing hands before contacting the patient.

[0126] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the background server is further configured to:

[0127] When it is determined that the second action image of the medical staff's hands contacting the patient and leaving appears in the patient image, the alarm signal is continuously issued at a preset message frequency and is forwarded to the processor through the 5G communication module;

[0128] Subsequently, the voice module responds to the alarm signal to remind medical staff to wash hands;

[0129] Upon receiving the hand washing signal reported by the processor through the 5G communication module, stop issuing the alarm signal;

[0130] Save the generated second hand washing record to the background database.

[0131] As an optional embodiment of the present application, optionally, the background server is further used for:

[0132] Within the specified time of continuously issuing the alarm signal, if:

[0133] The hand washing signal reported by the processor through the 5G communication module is not received;

[0134] Or

[0135] The control instruction for manually turning off the pressure pump reported by the processor through the 5G communication module is received;

[0136] Generate the third hand washing record of this time and save it to the background database.

[0137] After contacting the patient, the hand washing device also needs to be triggered within 30 seconds. If it is not triggered, the monitor will issue a "please wash your hands" prompt until the automatic hand washing is triggered or manually turned off. Manual turning off will also be counted into the hand washing rate data.

[0138] When the infrared camera of the monitoring system is taking pictures, the patient's behavior and action can also be monitored and recognized by the background. When the patient's action and behavior meet the preset action condition, the background can issue an alarm signal to remind medical staff to provide emergency care for the patient. During this period or when the medical staff contacts the patient, the medical staff will also be reminded to pay attention to hand washing in the above-mentioned manner.

[0139] As an optional embodiment of the present application, optionally, the background server is further used for:

[0140] When it is determined that the patient in the patient image appears a preset action, continuously issue the alarm signal at a preset message frequency and forward it to the processor through the 5G communication module;

[0141] Subsequently, the voice module responds to the alarm signal to remind medical staff to provide emergency care for the patient and to wash hands;

[0142] When it is determined that the patient in the patient image eliminates the preset action, stop issuing the alarm signal;

[0143] Generate the fourth hand washing record of this time and save it to the background database.

[0144] The patient performs a preset action:

[0145] (1) When the medical staff is operating on the patient (such as sputum suction), if the monitor captures that the patient has body fluid spraying, it will issue a "body fluid spraying, please disinfect" prompt to remind the medical staff to check whether it is contaminated by body fluid in time;

[0146] (2) The monitor detects that the patient suddenly sits up, kicks his legs wildly, and pulls out the body pipeline or line, and the monitor will automatically issue an emergency alarm to remind the medical staff to handle it in time.

[0147] As shown in Figure 5 If there are multiple wards, the hand washing system and the monitoring system of multiple wards can be managed by routing through an in-hospital gateway.

[0148] Each ward can be provided with a set of hand washing system and a set of monitoring system, both of which use the 5G communication module controlled by the processor to communicate data with the background server through the in-hospital gateway, and route and forward the information sent by the background server to each ward through the gateway. The hand washing system and the monitoring system of each ward can report data to the in-hospital gateway through the 5G communication module, and the in-hospital gateway can route and forward the data to the background server, and the background server can process the data reported by each ward according to the above processing method.

[0149] The medical staff can log in to the background server through a terminal such as a PDA terminal to view the hand washing records of each medical staff.

[0150] In addition, according to the number of times of reminding hand washing and the feedback of hand washing records, the hand washing rate of the medical staff can be calculated according to the number of times of reminding hand washing and the number of times of hand washing records, and the hand washing rate can be saved and bound under the identity of the corresponding medical staff. If the absorption rate is found to be lower than the preset value, such as 95%, a warning can be issued to the corresponding medical staff ID in the future.

[0151] The modules or steps of the above-mentioned application can be realized by a general computing device, which can be concentrated on a single computing device, or distributed on a network composed of multiple computing devices, and optionally, they can be realized by program codes executable by a computing device, so that they can be stored in a storage device and executed by a computing device, or they can be made into each integrated circuit module, or multiple modules or steps among them can be made into a single integrated circuit module to realize. Thus, the application is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.

1. A smart device for monitoring handwashing rates and providing patient safety reminders, characterized in that, include: (1) A monitoring system for monitoring and acquiring patient video images and reporting them to a backend server, the monitoring system comprising: A scanning camera is used to capture images of the patient and send them to the processor; The processor is used to process the patient's camera images and then forward them to the 5G communication module; The 5G communication module is used to report the patient's camera image to the backend server. After the backend server judges the patient's camera image and generates a corresponding alarm signal, it forwards the alarm signal sent by the backend server to the processor. Subsequently, the processor receives and forwards the alarm signal to the voice module. The voice module is used to respond to the alarm signal and remind medical staff to wash their hands or provide emergency care to the patient; The power module is used for power supply; The scanning camera, 5G communication module, voice module, and power module are electrically connected to the processor, respectively. (2) The background server is used to receive and analyze the patient's video images and determine whether the following situations occur in the patient's video images: medical staff's hands are in contact with the patient, and / or the patient performs a preset action. When any of the above situations occur, a corresponding alarm signal is generated and responded to remind medical staff to wash their hands and / or provide emergency care to the patient. (3) A handwashing system for medical personnel to wash their hands, and after the medical personnel have washed their hands, to upload the corresponding handwashing signal to the backend server, which then generates a corresponding handwashing record. The handwashing system includes: An infrared sensor is used to detect infrared light signals from hands when medical staff wash their hands and to feed the infrared light signals back to the processor. The processor is configured to issue a working instruction to the pressurization pump based on the infrared light signal; generate a corresponding handwashing signal based on the infrared light signal; and report the handwashing signal to the backend server via the 5G communication module. A pressure pump is used to respond to the working command to pump the disinfectant to the disinfectant spray head for dispensing, so that medical staff can wash their hands; Disinfectant solution system, used to provide disinfectant solution; The background database is used to store the patient's camera images, alarm signals, and handwashing records; The infrared sensor and the pressure pump are respectively electrically connected to the processor; The backend server is also used for: 1) When it is determined that the patient's camera image shows the first action of a medical staff member preparing to make contact with the patient, the alarm signal is continuously sent out according to the preset message frequency and forwarded to the processor through the 5G communication module; The alarm signal will then be responded to by the voice module, reminding medical staff to wash their hands. Upon receiving the handwashing signal reported by the processor via the 5G communication module, the alarm signal is stopped being sent. Save the first handwashing record generated this time to the backend database; 2) When it is determined that a second action image appears in the patient's camera image, in which the medical staff finishes contacting the patient with their hands and then removes their hands, the alarm signal is continuously sent out according to the preset message frequency and forwarded to the processor through the 5G communication module; The alarm signal will then be responded to by the voice module, reminding medical staff to wash their hands. Upon receiving the handwashing signal reported by the processor via the 5G communication module, the alarm signal is stopped being sent. Save the generated second handwashing record to the backend database; 3) If, within the specified time period during which the alarm signal is continuously issued: The handwashing signal reported by the processor via the 5G communication module was not received; or The processor receives a control command to manually shut down the pressurization pump, reported via the 5G communication module. This will generate the third handwashing record for this instance and save it to the backend database; 4) When it is determined that the patient in the patient's camera image has performed a preset action, the alarm signal is continuously sent out according to the preset message frequency and forwarded to the processor through the 5G communication module; Subsequently, the voice module responds to the alarm signal, reminding medical staff to provide emergency care to the patient and to wash their hands. When it is determined that the patient in the patient's camera image has eliminated the preset action, the alarm signal will be stopped. Generate the fourth handwashing record for this event and save it to the backend database.

2. A method for applying the intelligent handwashing rate monitoring and patient safety reminder device as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: The monitoring system monitors and collects patient video images and reports them to the backend server; The backend server receives and analyzes the patient's video images to determine whether the following conditions occur in the patient's video images: (1) Medical staff touch the patient's hands; and / or (2) The patient exhibits a pre-set action; When any of the above situations occur, a corresponding alarm signal is generated and a response is initiated to remind medical staff to wash their hands and / or provide emergency care to the patient; Upon hearing the alarm signal, healthcare workers respond by washing their hands through the handwashing system and / or providing emergency care to the patient. After the medical staff wash their hands, the corresponding handwashing signal is uploaded to the backend server, which then generates a corresponding handwashing record and saves it to the backend database.
