[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a medical device status management system based on Internet of Things technology. Background Art

[0002] Medical device management refers to the monitoring and management of the entire cycle of medical equipment purchase, acceptance, storage, use, repair, preventive maintenance and scrapping, as well as the purchase, storage, outbound storage, inventory management and usage statistics analysis of medical consumables by medical institutions. The core of medical device management is equipment management. Reasonable equipment management of medical equipment includes equipment classification management, preparation of equipment management system, regular inspection and maintenance, regular inspection of equipment use, training and assessment of equipment users, etc. At the same time, medical institutions should establish equipment files, record and manage medical equipment in detail, and timely update information such as the use, maintenance and service life of medical equipment.

[0003] Medical device management also includes the management of medical consumables, including procurement management, inventory management and use management. Hospitals should establish a complete procurement process for medical consumables, set up a special procurement department, establish procurement plans, determine procurement standards, standardize procurement procedures, establish procurement files, etc. For inventory management, hospitals need to implement grading and classification, real-time inventory, and timely reporting of losses to ensure the safety and normal use of inventory. The use of medical consumables also needs to be supervised more strictly, and measures such as establishing usage procedures, prescribing usage methods, and standardizing disinfection operations should be taken to ensure the quality and use of medical equipment and medical consumables. Medical device management is a very important task in medical institutions, but traditional medical device management methods have the following shortcomings and deficiencies:

[0004] 1. Information islands: The traditional medical device management method has the problem that data cannot be shared in real time between various links, resulting in the emergence of information islands, making it difficult to achieve full-cycle monitoring and management.

[0005] 2. Inefficiency: Medical institutions have a large number of medical devices and medical consumables, and the management work is cumbersome. Manual data entry and transaction processing are inefficient and prone to loopholes and errors.

[0006] 3. Improper inventory management: The traditional medical device management method has the problem of improper inventory management and is unable to effectively control the inventory situation, resulting in inventory backlog and waste.

[0007] 4. Untimely repair and maintenance: Due to poor information communication, untimely repair and maintenance of medical equipment can easily affect the normal operation and service life of the equipment.

[0008] 5. Imperfect data statistics and analysis: The data statistics and analysis functions of traditional medical device management methods are imperfect, and cannot provide hospital managers with accurate, real-time, and comprehensive data analysis and reports, making it difficult to provide effective support for decision-making.

[0009] To sum up, the shortcomings and deficiencies of traditional medical device management methods have brought great difficulties to hospital management. It is necessary to introduce modern medical device status management devices to improve management efficiency and level. Summary of the invention

[0150] Example 2

[0151] The medical device status management system based on the Internet of Things technology described in this embodiment includes the following parts:

[0152] Equipment sensors: Medical equipment can be equipped with sensors to monitor the operating status, energy consumption, maintenance cycle, operating time and other information of medical equipment in real time. Sensors can be connected to cloud servers via wireless networks for data storage and analysis. In this step, we need to install sensors for each medical device and use the sensors to collect data when the medical equipment is running. This data can include various status information such as temperature, current, power consumption, vibration, etc. of the medical equipment. Sensors can be connected to pre-configured Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless networks to send data to the cloud central storage. This data can help us understand the status and operation of medical equipment more clearly. At the same time, we can also add artificial intelligence algorithms to predict the status of medical equipment and detect medical equipment failures in advance, thereby improving the service life and efficiency of medical equipment.

[0153] IoT platform: Develop an IoT-based medical device management platform, collect and process data from sensors through cloud servers, and manage and monitor the entire life cycle of the device. In the second step, we need to use cloud servers to manage and monitor medical devices. In the IoT platform, various types of medical devices are connected together through IoT technology, and the status and operation of these devices are monitored and managed through cloud services. The IoT platform can analyze sensor data to discover problems such as abnormal operation of medical equipment and the life of medical equipment. At the same time, the IoT platform can also be integrated with other key systems, such as electronic medical records, bed management systems, etc., to better achieve data sharing and collaboration.

[0154] Mobile applications: Provide mobile applications for the hospital's clinical departments and equipment management departments for process processing, status viewing, and message reminders. Department managers can remotely view the status, maintenance status, and preventive maintenance reminders of medical equipment, and handle related processes in a timely manner. In the third step, we need to provide mobile applications for the hospital's clinical departments and equipment management departments so that they can manage the status of equipment anytime and anywhere. The mobile application can help clinical department managers initiate medical equipment requests and view the status and usage of medical equipment in a timely manner. In addition, the application can also help the equipment management department process maintenance requests and manage equipment status. Through the mobile application, department managers can easily track the maintenance status of medical equipment, manage the periodic maintenance dates of medical equipment, and receive real-time alarm notifications about medical equipment.

[0155] Data analysis and decision support: Provide decision support for hospital managers by analyzing the collected data. For example, based on the maintenance status and energy consumption data of medical equipment, provide suggestions for the maintenance and update of medical equipment to improve the efficiency of medical equipment use and life cycle management. In the fourth step, we can use data analysis technology to analyze the data collected from sensors. Through the analysis of data, we can better understand the use, maintenance and life of medical equipment, and provide better decision support. For example, for some medical equipment that often fails or has a high number of repairs, the system can generate a medical equipment maintenance report and make suggestions for updating or replacing medical equipment. By analyzing energy consumption data, hospitals can understand which medical equipment consumes a lot of electricity, and then formulate energy-saving measures to reduce costs. Through data analysis, we can improve the efficiency of medical equipment management throughout the life cycle.
