[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an early pressure injury identification system for bedridden patients, including: a nursing bed 1, a preset area 2 on the nursing bed 1 is provided with a transparent hard bed board 3, which can provide sufficient support. For example, a groove can be opened in the preset area 2 on the bed board of the existing nursing bed 1, the groove opens the bed board, and the transparent hard bed board 3 is embedded in the groove; for example, the preset area 2 of the bed board of the nursing bed 1 can also be directly designed to be transparent when leaving the factory. A transparent cushion 4 is laid on the transparent hard bed board 3. For example, the preset area 2 of the cushion can be directly designed to be transparent when leaving the factory; an image collector 5 is arranged below the nursing bed 1, the patient is on it, and is adapted to the preset area 2 setting, and is used to collect the patient's skin image information; a data processor 6 is connected to the image collector 5 by signal, and the data processor 6 judges whether the patient's skin is pressure-injured through the skin image information fed back by the image collector 5. Among them, bedridden patients are generally critically ill patients who cannot move and generally do not wear clothes during bed rest, so the patient's skin image information can be collected. The transparent hard bed board 3 and the transparent soft cushion 4 are made of materials with high transparency as much as possible to facilitate image acquisition.

[0025] The present embodiment provides an early compression injury recognition system for bedridden patients. The preset area 2 on the nursing bed 1 is provided with a transparent hard bed board 3 for support; the transparent hard bed board 3 is covered with a transparent soft cushion 4 to improve the patient's comfort; the image collector 5 is arranged under the nursing bed 1 and adapted to the preset area 2 for collecting the patient's skin image information; the data processor 6 is connected to the image collector 5 by signal, and the data processor 6 determines whether the patient's skin is compressed by the skin image information fed back by the image collector 5. Such a setting is conducive to improving the early compression injury recognition rate of bedridden patients, and also makes the nursing work more targeted; moreover, early recognition and early treatment will greatly reduce the pain of compressed patients.

[0026] The preset area 2 may be the area where the gluteal sacrum is located when the patient is lying in bed. Because the gluteal sacrum is the most vulnerable part of most patients to pressure injuries or even bedsores, the preset area 2 corresponds to the area where the gluteal sacrum is located, which is more targeted.

[0027] The preset area 2 may be a rectangular area. For example, the preset area 2 is divided into four quadrant sub-areas with the center of the preset area 2 as the origin, and each quadrant sub-area is adapted to be provided with an image collector 5. Such a setting can minimize the blind area of ​​the camera, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of image acquisition.

[0028] The image collector 5 is a high-definition digital camera, which can capture clearer image information, thus improving the accuracy of subsequent recognition.

[0029] The high-definition digital camera is an infrared camera to collect the temperature and color information of the patient's skin. In addition to identifying the redness and swelling of the skin, the infrared camera can also obtain the temperature information of the skin, so that the information can be collected more accurately. Generally, the temperature will rise before the redness and swelling appear. Collecting temperature information can be discovered in advance, and timely measures can be taken to avoid the occurrence of redness and swelling and relieve the patient's pain.

[0030] The image collector 5 collects data every 1-3 hours. The frequency of acquiring data by the image collector 5 can be set by itself, for example, it can collect data once every hour, once every two hours, or once every three hours.

[0031] The data processor 6 is an AI recognition system. For example, when the data processor 6 determines whether the patient's skin is bruised, it can compare the skin image information fed back by the image collector 5 with the standard image information to determine whether the bruise occurs. The AI ​​recognition system can process the data by itself without relying on medical staff, which is more convenient to use.

[0032] The data processor 6 can be installed on the guardrail at one end of the nursing bed 1 through a structural member.

[0033] In summary, the early compression injury identification system for bedridden patients in this application can identify obvious redness, swelling, and heat on the patient's skin surface, improve the recognition rate of early compression injuries, and also make nursing work more targeted. The most important thing is: early treatment will greatly reduce the patient's pain.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
