[0056] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a hospital examination and auxiliary reminder device, including: an intelligent monitoring module 1, a voice broadcast module 2, a personalized customization module 3, a nurse station reminder module 4, and an intelligent electronic hanging box 5.

[0058] The intelligent monitoring module 1 is used to monitor the status of the patient's laboratory specimen collection, and trigger a reminder when the specimen is not collected within a preset time. Preferably, the intelligent monitoring module 1 monitors the state changes of the laboratory specimen box in real time through radio frequency identification technology or a weight sensor. When the collection behavior is not detected for more than 24 hours after the specimen box is issued, the system automatically triggers a reminder. In one embodiment of the present invention, the monitoring time threshold can be adjusted according to different types of test requirements. For example, for general urine specimens, it is set to 12 hours, and for 24-hour urine collection, it is set to trigger the first reminder if the collection is not started 30 minutes after the start.

[0059] The voice broadcast module 2 is connected to the intelligent monitoring module 1 for receiving the reminder signal sent by the intelligent monitoring module 1 and playing the corresponding voice prompt content based on the reminder signal. The voice broadcast module 2 uses natural language processing and speech synthesis technology to convert text prompt information into clear and easy-to-understand speech. At the same time, considering the particularity of the hospital environment, the voice volume can be intelligently adjusted to avoid disturbing other patients.

[0060] The personalized customization module 3 is connected to the voice broadcast module 2 for generating reminders of precautions before and after the examination according to the patient's examination plan. The personalized customization module 3 of the present invention obtains all the patient's examination arrangements by docking with the hospital information system, and automatically extracts the corresponding precautions according to the examination type. For example, for gastroscopy, the system will remind the patient of the fasting requirements 12 hours, 8 hours and 4 hours before the examination; for glucose tolerance test, the time points and precautions for taking sugar in divided doses will be detailed.

[0061] The nurse station reminder module 4 is connected to the intelligent monitoring module 1 for displaying the patient information of the unfinished specimen collection on the nurse workstation. When the patient fails to collect the specimen as required, the nurse station reminder module 4 will highlight the relevant patient information with a red mark on the nurse workstation interface, so that the nurse can follow up in time to avoid omissions. Preferably, the reminder level can be automatically adjusted according to the delay time, for example, a yellow warning for 2 hours exceeding the scheduled time, an orange warning for 4 hours exceeding the scheduled time, and a red warning for 8 hours exceeding the scheduled time.

[0062] The intelligent electronic hanging box 5 is connected to the intelligent monitoring module 1 and the voice broadcast module 2 and is used to place the patient's test specimen box. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent electronic hanging box 5 includes a specimen box placement area 51, a status indicator light 52, a touch screen 53 and a speaker 54. The specimen box placement area 51 is designed with a special groove to ensure that the specimen box is placed firmly; the status indicator light 52 intuitively displays the specimen retention status through different colors, for example, green indicates normal, yellow indicates about to time out, and red indicates time out; the touch screen 53 is used to display text prompt information; the speaker 54 is used to play voice prompt content.

[0063] As Figure 3 shown, the intelligent monitoring module 1 includes a specimen status detection unit 11, a time calculation unit 12, a threshold comparison unit 13, and a reminder trigger unit 14. The specimen status detection unit 11 uses a combination of a weight sensor and RFID technology to accurately detect the placement status and removal status of the test specimen box. The time calculation unit 12 is used to calculate the retention time after the specimen box is issued, and is implemented through the following algorithm:

[0064] T elapsed = T current - T distribution ,

[0065] wherein, T elapsed is the elapsed time, T current is the current time T distribution is the specimen box issuance time.

[0066] The threshold comparison unit 13 is used to compare the retention time with a preset time threshold. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the threshold comparison adopts the following judgment conditions:

[0067] Normal, if T elapsed < T threshold ,

[0068] Timeout, if T elapsed ≥ T threshold ,

[0069] wherein, T threshold is the preset time threshold, and different thresholds are set according to different types of test items. For example, the threshold for a general urine test is 12 hours, and the threshold for a fecal occult blood test is 24 hours.

[0070] The reminder trigger unit 14 is used to generate a reminder signal when the retention time exceeds the preset time threshold. The reminder signal includes key information such as patient information, test type, and overtime duration, which is convenient for subsequent accurate reminders.

[0071] As Figure 4 shown, the voice broadcast module 2 includes a voice synthesis unit 21, a playback control unit 22, and a text display unit 23. The voice synthesis unit 21 uses advanced text-to-speech technology to convert the text prompt content into a natural and fluent voice signal. The voice synthesis technology of the present invention is implemented through the following steps: First, perform semantic analysis on the prompt text to determine the key emphasized content; then generate voice conforming to the medical scenario through a deep learning model; finally, perform audio optimization to ensure clear distinguishability in the hospital environment.

[0072] The playback control unit 22 is used to control the time, volume, and repetition frequency of voice playback. Preferably, the voice playback time avoids the patient's rest time, the volume is automatically adjusted according to the ambient noise, and the repetition frequency is set based on the urgency. For example, for an upcoming examination, the reminder frequency will gradually increase. The text display unit 23 is used to synchronously display the text information corresponding to the voice content to meet the needs of hearing-impaired patients.

[0073] As Figure 5 shown, the personalized customization module 3 includes an examination information acquisition unit 31, a prompt content generation unit 32, a time rule setting unit 33, and a personalized parameter adjustment unit 34. The examination information acquisition unit 31 obtains the patient's examination plan information in real time through the hospital information system interface, including examination type, time, location, etc. The prompt content generation unit 32 extracts the corresponding precautions content from the knowledge base according to different examination types to form a standardized prompt template.

[0074] The time rule setting unit 33 is used to set the reminder time points for different examination types. For example, for examinations that require fasting, the reminder time points include after dinner the day before the examination, in the morning of the examination day, and 2 hours before the examination; for drug allergy tests, reminder points are set 30 minutes before drug administration, 15 minutes after drug administration, and 30 minutes after drug administration. The personalized parameter adjustment unit 34 adjusts the prompt method according to the patient's age, hearing condition, etc. For example, for elderly patients, the system automatically increases the font size and volume and slows down the speech speed; for hearing-impaired patients, the proportion of text display is strengthened.

[0075] The present invention also provides an optimized personalized prompt algorithm, which continuously adjusts the prompt parameters through patient feedback data:

[0076] R effectiveness = α·C completion + β·T response + γ·F feedback ,

[0077] wherein, R effectiveness is the prompt effectiveness score, C completion is the task completion rate, T response is the response time, F feedback is the patient feedback score, and α, β, and γ are weight coefficients, which are adjusted according to the actual application scenario, and the typical values are 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 respectively.

[0078] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, the nurse station reminder module 4 includes a data aggregation unit 41, a display control unit 42, and a reminder level setting unit 43. The data aggregation unit 41 collects in real time the status data of the collection of laboratory specimens of all patients in the department, and forms a unified monitoring view. The display control unit 42 is responsible for highlighting the patient information of those who have not collected samples beyond the time limit on the nurse workstation interface. Through color coding and sorting functions, nurses can quickly identify the patients who need attention. The reminder level setting unit 43 sets different levels of reminders according to the delay time. For example, the first-level reminder is for a delay of 1-2 hours, the second-level reminder is for a delay of 2-4 hours, and the emergency reminder is for a delay of more than 4 hours.

[0079] The network communication module in the present invention is communicatively connected to the personalized customization module 3 and is used for data exchange with the hospital information system. The network communication uses the secure HL7 protocol to ensure the security and integrity of patient data transmission. Through the network communication module, the system can receive all the examination plan information of the patient from admission to discharge and update the latest version of the precautions before and after the examination in a timely manner.

[0080] The voice prompt content of the voice broadcast module 2 includes three categories: The first category is the correct collection methods of laboratory specimens such as urine, feces, and sputum. For example, specific operation guides such as collecting the middle section of urine, avoiding mixing urine into feces, and deep coughing for sputum are provided; the second category is the preparation requirements for special examinations such as fasting examinations, glucose tolerance tests, and gastroscopy examinations, and details such as the fasting and water deprivation time, taking or stopping special medications are explained; the third category is the precautions and key points for observation after the examination, such as the discomfort symptoms that may occur after the examination and the coping methods.

[0081] The communication connection between the intelligent monitoring module 1 and the nurse station reminder module 4 is in a wireless network mode. It is preferably to use the secure WiFi network within the hospital to ensure the real-time and reliability of data transmission. The intelligent monitoring module 1 pushes the patient information of those who have not collected specimens beyond the time limit to the nurse station reminder module 4 in real time through the wireless network mode, and supports a multi-level alarm mechanism to ensure that emergencies can be handled in a timely manner.

[0082] The personalized customization module 3 also includes a data analysis unit for analyzing the historical examination compliance data of patients. This unit identifies the key factors affecting patient compliance through machine learning algorithms, such as age, disease type, length of hospital stay, etc. Based on the analysis results, the system automatically adjusts the reminder frequency and reminder method. For example, for patients with poor compliance, the reminder frequency and intensity are increased; for patients with good compliance, the number of reminders is appropriately reduced to avoid disturbing them. The data analysis unit is also responsible for generating a patient examination compliance report, including key indicators such as compliance rate and delay time, for medical staff to refer to and assist in formulating personalized patient management strategies.

[0083] Figure 7It shows the precautions reminder process provided by the present invention. First, the system obtains the patient's examination plan from the hospital information system, and then extracts the corresponding precautions from the knowledge base according to the examination type. Next, the system automatically sets the reminder time point according to the examination time and adjusts the reminder method according to the patient's individual characteristics. When the reminder is triggered, the system conveys the content of the precautions to the patient through voice broadcast and text display, and at the same time records the patient's response. If it is detected that the patient fails to execute as required, the system will increase the reminder frequency and notify the nurse station, and the nurse will conduct manual intervention. After the examination is completed, the system will also provide corresponding follow-up precautions reminders to form a closed-loop management.

[0084] Through the intelligent reminder and monitoring mechanism, the present invention effectively solves the problems such as errors and delays in the collection of urine, feces, and sputum in clinical practice, significantly improves the examination accuracy and efficiency, and at the same time reduces the workload of nurses, enabling medical staff resources to focus more on the treatment and care of patients. In addition, the personalized customization function of the present invention can adapt to the needs of different patients, especially considering special groups such as elderly patients and hearing-impaired patients, improving the inclusiveness and applicability of the system.

[0085] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.

[0086] It should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
