[0028] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0030] When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said / the" may also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "include / comprise" or "have" etc. specify the presence of stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0031] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a nursing system is provided, characterized in that it includes:

[0032] The magnetic member 10 is arranged at the door of the ward;

[0033] The patient terminal 20 is arranged in the patient gown; the patient terminal 20 comprises a battery 201, a reed switch 203, a microcontroller 205 and a Bluetooth component 207; the power supply end of the microcontroller 205 is connected to the first access end of the reed switch 203, and the signal end is electrically connected to the Bluetooth component 207; the second access end of the reed switch 203 is used to electrically connect the battery 201; wherein the reed switch 203 is used to connect the electrical connection between the microcontroller 205 and the battery 201 after sensing the magnetic member 10; the microcontroller 205 is used to send the patient's identification number through the Bluetooth component 207 after power-on;

[0034] The sensor 30 is arranged at the door of the ward; the detection range of the sensor 30 is greater than the 10 magnetic field range of the magnetic part;

[0035] The back-end terminal 40 receives the patient's identification number and records the receiving time; the back-end terminal 40 accumulates the number of receiving times and obtains the cumulative number of receiving times according to the detection information of the sensor; the back-end terminal 40 determines the patient's position status according to the cumulative number of receiving times and the receiving time;

[0036] The nursing terminal 50 is used to send a reset instruction to the background terminal 40, so that the background terminal 40 that receives the reset instruction resets the cumulative number of reception times.

[0037] Among them, the magnetic part can be a magnet. By using a magnet of a special shape, such as a magnet with pointed ends at both ends, a stronger magnetic field can be achieved near the tip. Such a design can make the magnetic field more concentrated in a relatively small area at the door of a ward. Furthermore, magnetic shielding materials can be used to shield the magnetic field of the magnet in a specific area. Magnetic shielding materials can reduce the range of the magnetic field by absorbing, reversing or guiding the magnetic field, so that the magnetic field range of the magnetic part does not enter the interior of the ward.

[0038] The sensor may be an infrared sensor, which may be disposed on the outer wall of the ward door to confirm whether the patient has actually left the door or has stayed at the door before returning to the ward. The detection range of the sensor is greater than the magnetic field range of the magnetic component, which means that the detection range of the sensor can completely cover the magnetic field range of the magnetic component.

[0039] The patient terminal is small and thin, and can be installed in the patient gown. Specifically, it can be sewn on the patient gown or placed in the pocket of the patient gown. The patient's identification number is the unique identification number of the patient terminal, which can also be called the ID number. It is bound to the patient's identity information in the background terminal. When the patient leaves the ward with the patient terminal, the reed switch is affected by the magnetic field, connecting the microcontroller to the battery, and enabling the microcontroller to send the patient's identification number through the Bluetooth component after power-on. In this way, the battery life of the patient terminal can be extended.

[0040] The back-end terminal receives the identification number and records the time of each reception of the identification number. After receiving the identification number, the back-end terminal obtains the detection information of the sensor and determines whether someone has left the room based on the detection information. The cumulative number of receptions and the time of reception can then be used to determine the patient's location. The number of sensors can be two or more, which are used to detect the direction of movement and the number of people passing through the door. The positional relationship between the sensor's detection range and the magnetic field range can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Furthermore, the sensor includes a first sensor and a second sensor; the detection range of the first sensor is the same as the magnetic field range of the magnetic part, the detection range of the second sensor does not overlap with the magnetic field range of the magnetic part, and the detection range of the second sensor is farther away from the inside of the ward than the magnetic field range. When the background terminal receives the identification number, it obtains the first detection information of the first sensor. If the first detection information indicates the presence of a human body, the second detection information of the second sensor is obtained. If the second detection information indicates the presence of a human body, the number of receptions is accumulated. It should be noted that the first sensor and the magnetic part can both be set at the door of the ward, and the second sensor can be set outside the door of the ward through an auxiliary bracket.

[0041] The nursing terminal is used to send a reset instruction to the background terminal. Since the initial location of the patient is unclear, the nursing staff needs to send a reset instruction to the background terminal in a specific scenario so that the background terminal can determine the patient's location status based on the cumulative number of receptions. The location status may include whether the patient is in the ward and the length of time he / she has been away from the ward. In one embodiment, the nursing terminal includes a display component; the display component is used to display a warning signal.

[0042] Furthermore, the nursing terminal may also include a battery, a reed switch, a microcontroller, a positioning component and a Bluetooth component; the power supply end of the microcontroller is connected to the first access end of the reed switch, and the signal end is electrically connected to the Bluetooth component; the second access end of the reed switch is used to electrically connect the battery; wherein the reed switch is used to connect the electrical connection between the microcontroller and the battery after sensing the magnetic part; the microcontroller is used to send the location information confirmed by the positioning component to the background terminal through the Bluetooth component after power-on. In this way, the attendance status of patients and medical staff can be managed at the same time, and both medical staff and patients can be managed in a timely manner, so as to provide more sufficient medical information and provide medical services more quickly.

[0043] The above nursing system sets a reed switch on the patient gown. When the patient enters and exits the ward door wearing the patient gown, the reed switch can automatically connect the power to the microcontroller, so that the microcontroller can send the identification number through the Bluetooth component. By comprehensively analyzing the detection information of the sensor, it can be determined whether the patient stays at the door and then returns to the ward or completely leaves the ward, and the number of receptions is accumulated according to the analysis results. Finally, the patient's location status can be determined based on the accumulated number of receptions and the time of reception, so as to efficiently manage the patient location status of each ward with the advantage of low cost, thereby achieving low-cost and efficient supervision of patients.

[0044] In one embodiment, the nursing terminal sends a reset instruction to the background terminal when the patient is in the ward; wherein the reset instruction includes the patient's identification number;

Based on this, the background terminal determines that the patient is in the ward when the corresponding cumulative number of receptions is an even number; the background terminal determines that the patient is outside the ward when the corresponding cumulative number of receptions is an odd number.

[0047] In one of the embodiments, the backend terminal sends a warning signal to the nursing terminal according to the time interval between the i-th receiving time and the (i+1)-th receiving time; wherein i is an odd number.

[0048] Specifically, the backend terminal can determine the time when the patient left the room based on the time interval between the i-th receiving time and the i+1-th receiving time, and send a warning signal to the nursing terminal if the time is too long. The warning signal is used to remind the nursing staff that the patient has been away from the ward for a long time, so that the nursing staff can understand the patient's condition.

[0049] In one of the embodiments, if the background terminal does not receive the patient's identification number within a preset time period starting from the i-th receiving moment, a warning signal is sent to the nursing terminal.

[0050] Specifically, when the backstage terminal determines that the patient has been away for too long, it sends a warning signal to the nursing terminal, which is used to remind the nursing staff to check the patient's condition and search for him.

[0052] The backend terminal resets the accumulated number of receptions corresponding to the patient's identification number according to the patient's identification number.

[0053] Specifically, the nursing terminal can be operated by a nursing staff, and when the patient is outside the ward, the nursing staff sends a reset instruction to the background terminal through the nursing terminal.
