Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ward nursing, and particularly to a ward nursing positioning method based on HarmonyOS distributed capabilities. Background Art
[0002] In the traditional medical environment, in order to ensure that patients receive timely and effective care, hospitals usually require nurses to regularly patrol the wards and perform necessary nursing work on each patient. However, how to accurately determine whether nurses arrive at the bedside on time and record the time of their arrival and departure has always been a difficult problem, which is not only related to the monitoring of service quality but also involves the issues of patient safety and satisfaction. The common solutions on the market mainly include GPS positioning technology and UWB (Ultra-Wideband) indoor positioning systems. Although these technologies can provide location information to a certain extent, they each have limitations: (1) The GPS positioning solution is mature and low-cost, but the signal attenuation is severe in the indoor environment, resulting in a significant reduction in positioning accuracy; (2) UWB positioning provides higher accuracy, but its implementation requires additional purchase of expensive hardware devices, increasing the operating cost. Considering the above situation, the present application proposes a ward nursing positioning method based on HarmonyOS distributed capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a ward nursing positioning method based on HarmonyOS distributed capabilities.
[0004] A ward nursing positioning method based on HarmonyOS distributed capabilities proposed by the present invention includes the following steps:
[0005] S1: Configure a bedside machine with a built-in HarmonyOS and Bluetooth function beside each hospital bed;
[0006] S2: Equip each nurse responsible for nursing work in a specific area with a small and lightweight Bluetooth module electronic tag, which continuously emits a Bluetooth signal with a unique identification code via Bluetooth;
[0007] S3: Install a management machine with a built-in HarmonyOS at the nurse station;
[0008] S4: When the nurse walks in the ward area, the Bluetooth signal emitted by the Bluetooth module electronic tag carried by the nurse will be received by the nearby bedside machine. The bedside machine measures the received Bluetooth signal strength value (RSSI), and thus can obtain information about the relative position of the Bluetooth module electronic tag;
[0009] S5: Each bedside machine periodically scans the surrounding Bluetooth signals and synchronizes the unique identification code, acquisition time, and the corresponding Bluetooth signal strength value (RSSI) of the collected Bluetooth module electronic tag to the management machine through the distributed soft bus capability of the HarmonyOS;
[0010] S6: The management machine performs preliminary screening on the received data to remove outliers or noise interference.
[0011] S7: Apply the classical triangulation method to the data processed in S6 to determine the position of the target point.
[0012] S8: Based on the determined position of the target point, the hospital management can easily obtain key indicators of the specific activity trajectories and residence durations of each nurse. Meanwhile, the management machine will record all operations in detail for subsequent audit tracking.
[0013] Preferably, in S1, a high-precision and low-power Bluetooth module is integrated inside the bedside machine, supporting the BLE 5.0 standard, ensuring a long communication distance and low energy consumption.
[0014] Preferably, in S2, the Bluetooth module electronic tag adopts a rechargeable design and ensures long-term use through the low-power mode. Its data is encrypted during transmission.
[0015] Preferably, in S7, the triangulation method uses the weighted centroid algorithm to calculate the position of the target point. When calculating, it calculates the coordinates of the unknown point based on the triangular relationship formed by at least three known position points (i.e., the bedside machines) and the unknown point (i.e., the position where the electronic tag carried by the nurse is located).
[0016] Preferably, in S4, each bedside machine is equivalent to a "base station" and can sense the difference in Bluetooth signal strength from electronic tags in different directions.
[0017] Preferably, in S1, the bedside machine can serve as an information interaction platform during the daily nursing process and simultaneously undertakes the task of collecting Bluetooth signals in the surrounding environment.
[0018] Through the cooperation of the HarmonyOS built into the bedside machine and the management machine and the Bluetooth module electronic tag, the hospital management can easily obtain key indicators of the specific activity trajectories and residence durations of each nurse, thereby better supervising the execution of the nursing process, optimizing the allocation of human resources, and improving the overall service level. Meanwhile, all operations will be recorded in detail for subsequent audit tracking. Compared with traditional GPS positioning, it effectively solves the problem of inaccurate indoor positioning and only needs to utilize the distributed capabilities of the device's own HarmonyOS and the built-in Bluetooth function without incurring additional hardware costs to meet the usage requirements.

[0024] S2: Equip each nurse responsible for nursing work in a specific area with a small and lightweight Bluetooth module electronic tag, which continuously emits Bluetooth signals with a unique identification code via Bluetooth, facilitating detection by nearby bedside machines. The Bluetooth module electronic tag adopts a rechargeable design and ensures long-term use through a low-power mode. Its data is encrypted during transmission to prevent privacy leakage;
[0025] S3: Install a management machine with HarmonyOS built-in at the nurse station;
[0026] S4: When the nurse walks in the ward area, the Bluetooth signals emitted by the Bluetooth module electronic tag carried by the nurse will be received by nearby bedside machines.
