Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a monitoring system and a monitoring data acquisition method. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of medical technology, in order to understand the patient's physical condition in a timely manner, patients need professional instruments to monitor various vital signs in real time during the treatment and recovery periods. At the same time, it is also necessary to record the medication usage and record the relevant monitoring data.

[0003] According to current medical standards, all surgical patients require detailed data recording during anesthesia to meet the data requirements for generating an anesthesia record. However, the current process of data collection and processing for anesthesia record creation is quite complex. When patients are transferred to different monitors, patient information must be entered individually, making the process cumbersome and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application is made to provide a monitoring system and a monitoring data acquisition method to solve the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] In one embodiment of this application, a monitoring system is provided, comprising:

[0006] server;

[0007] A portable monitor is used to collect vital signs information of patients and generate monitoring data. The portable monitor stores the patient's identity information.

[0008] A fixed monitor, placed within a designated area and wired to the monitoring gateway, is used to take over from the portable monitor when the portable monitor is not in operation, collecting the patient's vital signs information and generating the monitoring data; and sending the monitoring data to the monitoring gateway.

[0009] The monitoring gateway is connected in communication with the server.

[0010] When the portable monitor and the monitoring gateway meet the first triggering condition, the monitoring gateway obtains and stores the patient's identity information from the portable monitor, and sends the monitoring data generated by the fixed monitor in association with the patient's identity information to the server.

[0011] In a second embodiment of this application, a monitoring data acquisition method is provided. This method is applicable to the monitoring gateway in the aforementioned monitoring system. The method includes:

[0012] When the first triggering condition is met with the portable monitor, communication is initiated with the portable monitor.

[0013] When the patient's identity information is stored locally, the patient's identity information is sent to the portable monitor;

[0014] If no patient identity information is available locally, and the portable monitor is determined to have stored patient identity information through interaction, the patient's identity information is retrieved from the portable monitor.

[0015] The monitoring data detected by the portable monitor is associated with the patient's identity information and sent to the server.

[0016] In a third embodiment of this application, a monitoring data acquisition method is provided. This method is applicable to portable monitors, and specifically, the method includes:

[0017] Collect the patient's vital signs information and generate monitoring data;

[0018] The monitoring data is associated with the locally stored patient identity information and sent to the server;

[0019] When the first triggering condition is met, the patient's identity information and the monitoring data are sent to the monitoring gateway so that the monitoring gateway can store the patient's identity information and stop sending the patient's identity information and the monitoring data to the server.

[0020] In a third embodiment of this application, a monitoring data acquisition method is provided. This method is applicable to portable monitors, and specifically, the method includes:

[0021] When the second triggering condition is met, communication is established with the monitoring gateway; the monitoring gateway is connected to the fixed monitor, and the monitoring gateway stores the patient's identity information. The monitoring gateway associates the second monitoring data monitored by the fixed monitor with the patient's identity information and sends it to the server.

[0022] The patient's identity information is obtained from and stored through the monitoring gateway;

[0023] The portable monitor moves with the patient, collecting the patient's vital signs information and generating monitoring data during the movement.

[0024] The monitoring data is associated with the patient's identity information and sent to the server.

[0025] In the technical solution of this application, the portable monitor stores the patient's identity information. When the patient needs to use a fixed monitor after being transferred to another location, the monitoring gateway connected to the fixed monitor can automatically obtain the patient's identity information from the portable monitor after connecting to the portable monitor. The monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor can be automatically matched with the identity information and then uploaded to the server through the monitoring gateway. The patient's identity information can be quickly transferred between different devices and automatically associated with the monitoring data. This can accurately realize the rapid collection of monitoring data throughout the patient's treatment process. The operation is simple and efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In some processes described in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application, multiple operations appearing in a specific order are included. These operations may be executed out of order or in parallel. Operation numbers such as 101, 102, etc., are merely used to distinguish different operations and do not represent any execution order. Furthermore, these processes may include more or fewer operations, and these operations may be executed sequentially or in parallel. It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used herein are used to distinguish different messages, devices, modules, etc., and do not represent a chronological order, nor do they limit "first" and "second" to different types. The following embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] With the continuous development of medical technology, hospital medical processes have become more standardized. For example, during anesthesia and surgery, patients need to have their vital signs data collected through professional monitoring equipment, both during anesthesia and during recovery, in order to meet the data requirements for generating the patient's anesthesia record.

[0036] Before surgery, patients carry a portable monitor to track their vital signs and assess their pre-operative condition. However, once the patient is in the operating room, a fixed monitor is required to collect vital signs data.

[0037] During this transfer process, medical staff need to match the fixed monitor in the operating room with the patient's identity information so that the vital signs data collected by the fixed monitor can be integrated and recorded under that patient's name. Matching the fixed monitor with the patient's identity information is a complex process that increases the workload of medical staff and is also prone to errors or omissions.

[0038] In existing hospitals, operating rooms are equipped with fixed monitors, which can only record and upload patient data during surgery. Portable monitors can record vital signs data before and after surgery, but they cannot meet the requirements for surgical use and lack some intraoperative data. Therefore, how to establish a complete perioperative monitoring system for patients, including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative vital signs, under the condition of using both fixed and portable monitors, is the technical problem that the embodiments of this application need to solve.

[0039] To solve the above technical problems, see Figure 1a and Figure 1bIn one embodiment of this application, a monitoring system is provided, comprising: a server 1, a portable monitor 3, and a monitoring gateway 2. The portable monitor 3 is used to collect vital sign information of a patient and generate monitoring data; the portable monitor stores the patient's identity information. The monitoring gateway 2 is communicatively connected to the server 1. Specifically, when the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2 meet a first triggering condition, the monitoring gateway 2 obtains and stores the patient's identity information from the portable monitor 3, and sends the monitoring data associated with the patient's identity information to the server 1.

[0040] Furthermore, this monitoring system may also include a fixed monitor 4. That is, the monitoring system includes: a server 1, a portable monitor 3, a monitoring gateway 2, and a fixed monitor 4. The portable monitor 3 is used to collect the patient's vital signs information and, after collecting the patient's vital signs information, can generate monitoring data related to the vital signs information. The fixed monitor 4 is placed in a designated area and is wiredly connected to the monitoring gateway 2. It is used to take over from the portable monitor 3 when the portable monitor 3 is not working, collect the patient's vital signs information, generate monitoring data, and send the monitoring data to the monitoring gateway 2. The monitoring gateway 2 then associates the monitoring data with the patient's identity information and sends it to the server 1.

[0041] When the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2 meet the second triggering condition, the portable monitor 3 obtains and stores the patient's identity information from the monitoring gateway 2; the portable monitor 3 collects the patient's vital signs information and generates monitoring data, and sends the monitoring data and identity information to the server 1.

[0042] In specific implementation, the monitoring gateway 2 may be equipped with a detachable identification module. This identification module, upon contacting or approaching the portable monitor 3, identifies that the wireless signal strength of the portable monitor 3 meets a set threshold. In this case, the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2 satisfy either a first trigger condition or a second trigger condition; or...

[0043] After the identification module on the monitoring gateway 2 scans and successfully identifies the coded information on the portable monitor 3, the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2 meet the first triggering condition or the second triggering condition.

[0044] Furthermore, to improve accuracy, in addition to setting a threshold, a duration-based determination condition can be added. Specifically, the aforementioned "after the identification module on monitoring gateway 2 detects that the wireless signal strength of the portable monitor continuously meets the set threshold, the portable monitor and the monitoring gateway meet the first trigger condition or the second trigger condition" can be defined as follows:

[0045] If the wireless signal strength of the portable monitor is detected to be equal to or greater than the set threshold and continues for a preset duration, the portable monitor and the monitoring gateway will satisfy the first trigger condition or the second trigger condition.

[0046] The first triggering condition and the second triggering condition may be the same or different.

[0047] To facilitate understanding, a specific scenario is used to illustrate the solution provided in this application's embodiments. Before surgery, the patient wears a portable monitor 3, which monitors the patient's data and uploads it to a server. The patient enters the operating room wearing the portable monitor 3. The operating room is equipped with a monitoring gateway 2 and a fixed monitor 4. The fixed monitor 4 can be wired to the monitoring gateway 2. The monitoring gateway 2 can obtain the patient's identity information from the portable monitor 3, and after entering the operating room, it can use the fixed monitor 4 to monitor the patient's data. After obtaining the monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor, the monitoring gateway binds the monitoring data with the identity information obtained from the portable monitor and sends it to the server. After surgery, the patient is transferred to the intensive care unit or ward, where the portable monitor worn by the patient again monitors and uploads the patient's data.

[0048] The portable monitor 3 can store the patient's identity information and can connect to the server 1 to upload monitoring data. Typically, after a patient is admitted to the hospital, a portable monitor 3 is provided for them to carry with them. The portable monitor 3 can connect to various data acquisition units, such as: end-tidal carbon dioxide detectors, infusion sets, blood pressure monitors, electrocardiogram monitors, and temperature monitors. These multiple data acquisition units can monitor the patient's vital signs. One patient is assigned to one fixed portable monitor 3. After medical staff input the patient's identity information into the portable monitor 3, the portable monitor 3 binds the patient's identity information to the device identification code. Alternatively, the portable monitor is equipped with a camera or barcode scanner, and the patient carries identification information on their person or hand. Medical staff use the camera or barcode scanner on the portable monitor to obtain and store the patient's identity information.

[0049] Subsequently, the monitoring data collected by the portable monitor 3 can be automatically matched with the patient's identity information. After the portable monitor 3 uploads the monitoring data and the patient's identity information to the server 1, the server 1 can store the monitoring data in the patient's name based on the patient's identity information.

[0050] The portable monitor 3 is equipped with a communication module, which can communicate with the server 1 to upload the patient's identity information and monitoring data.

[0051] Of course, the communication module on the portable monitor 3 can also connect to the monitoring gateway 2. The portable monitor 3 does not directly upload monitoring data to the server 1. For example, when the portable monitor 3 does not have the function of directly uploading to the server, after collecting monitoring data, the portable monitor 3 first stores it in its storage module. When the portable monitor 3 is connected to the monitoring gateway 2, it then uploads the stored patient identity information and monitoring data to the server 1 through the monitoring gateway 2. For example, when a patient brings the portable monitor 3 into the operating room, the portable monitor can wirelessly communicate with the monitoring gateway in the operating room.

[0052] Monitoring gateway 2 is connected to server 1. When portable monitor 3 moves into the communication range of monitoring gateway 2, monitoring gateway 2 can obtain the patient's identity information from portable monitor 3. Specifically, when portable monitor 3 moves into the communication range of monitoring gateway 2, portable monitor 3 can automatically connect to monitoring gateway 2, or it can connect to monitoring gateway 2 after a connection operation.

[0053] The connection operation can be triggered by pressing the connection start button on the portable monitor 3, or by triggering and controlling the connection between the monitoring gateway 2 and the portable monitor 3.

[0054] Once the monitoring gateway 2 obtains the patient's identity information, the patient's identity information will be bound to the device identification code of the monitoring gateway 2. At this time, the monitoring data uploaded through the monitoring gateway 2 can be recorded under the patient's name.

[0055] The fixed monitor 4 can connect to various data acquisition devices, such as end-tidal carbon dioxide detectors, infusion sets, blood pressure monitors, electrocardiogram monitors, and body temperature monitors. The fixed monitor 4 is also used to collect the patient's vital signs information and generate monitoring data based on the collected vital signs information. The fixed monitor 4 is connected to the monitoring gateway 2 to upload monitoring data and the patient's identity information to the server 1.

[0056] In the technical solution provided in this application, when a patient needs to switch from using a portable monitor 3 to using a fixed monitor 4, the monitoring gateway 2 connected to the fixed monitor 4 can obtain the patient's identity information from the portable monitor 3 and bind it to that identity information. Then, when the patient is using the fixed monitor 4, during the process of uploading the monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor 4 to the server 1 through the monitoring gateway 2, the monitoring data can be automatically associated with the patient's identity information. After receiving the monitoring data, the server 1 can automatically store and record the monitoring data under the patient's name.

[0057] Normally, monitoring data is only collected when the fixed monitor 4 is used. Before that, the portable monitor 3 used by the patient using the fixed monitor 4 has moved into the communication range of the monitoring gateway 2, and the monitoring gateway 2 obtains the patient's identity information from the portable monitor.

[0058] Therefore, after the monitoring gateway 2 obtains the monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor 4, it binds the monitoring data with the patient's identity information and uploads it to the server 1. It can be seen that the technical solution provided in this application embodiment allows for rapid transfer of patient identity information between the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2. The monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor 4 connected to the monitoring gateway 2 is automatically bound to the patient's identity information and then uploaded to the server 1 through the monitoring gateway 2. The server 1 stores the monitoring data under the patient's name. The process of transferring patient identity information is simple and rapid, eliminating the need for medical staff to perform complex and cumbersome identity information input operations. Furthermore, the data can be automatically recorded under the corresponding patient's name, ensuring the accuracy of data recording.

[0059] Typically, when a patient needs to be transferred after discontinuing use of the fixed monitor 4, the patient will resume using the portable monitor 3. That is, the portable monitor moves with the patient, and during this movement, the monitoring data generated by the portable monitor, associated with the stored patient identity information, is sent to the server. If the portable monitor does not have the function of directly uploading to the server, and needs to upload to the server through a monitoring gateway, when the third trigger condition is triggered during the movement of the portable monitor, the portable monitor collects the patient's vital signs information and generates monitoring data, associates the monitoring data with the patient's identity information, stores it locally, and sends it to the server through the monitoring gateway after reconnecting. Alternatively, if a monitoring gateway is available, the portable monitor associates the monitoring data with the patient's identity information and sends it to the server through the monitoring gateway. In an environment without a monitoring gateway, the portable monitor connects directly to the server and associates the monitoring data with the patient's identity information before sending it to the server. The third trigger condition can be the distance between the portable monitor and the monitoring gateway, such as when the portable monitor leaves the communication range of the monitoring gateway, or when the signal strength between the portable monitor and the monitoring gateway does not meet a set threshold. For example, as the patient is transferred, the portable monitor 3, which moves with the patient, will gradually move away from the communication range of the monitoring gateway 2. When the portable monitor 3 moves outside the communication range of the monitoring gateway 2, the portable monitor 3 will disconnect from the monitoring gateway 2.

[0060] In another embodiment provided in this application, the monitoring data collected by the portable monitor 3 can be stored in the storage module of the portable monitor 3, and the portable monitor 3 does not directly communicate with the server 1. When the portable monitor 3 moves into the communication range of the monitoring gateway 2, the portable monitor 3 connects to the monitoring gateway 2, the monitoring gateway 2 acquires the monitoring data, and then the monitoring gateway 2 sends the monitoring data to the server 1.

[0061] The monitoring data collected by the portable monitor 3 and the fixed monitor 4 mentioned above may include, but is not limited to, the patient's vital signs, medication data, and treatment data. The monitoring data collected by the portable monitor 3 and the fixed monitor 4 may be the same or different. For example, the fixed monitor 4 may need to monitor more data during surgery than before surgery. Or, the data monitored after surgery may be more than the data monitored before surgery.

[0062] Vital signs data may include, but are not limited to, the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, body temperature, and blood oxygen saturation. Medication data may include, but are not limited to, the types and quantities of medications the patient took before surgery, medication history, and drug allergy data. Treatment data may include, but are not limited to, the patient's preoperative medical history, treatment duration, and treatment process.

[0063] Furthermore, in one embodiment provided in this application, the fixed monitor 4 has a display that can display various monitoring data. For example, second monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor 4.

[0064] To facilitate medical staff in viewing patients' medical data (types of medication, dosages of medication, drug allergy data, etc.) at any time, the fixed monitor 4 can also obtain the monitoring data collected by the portable monitor 3 from the monitoring gateway 2, thereby extracting the patient's medical data from the monitoring data and displaying the medical data on the monitor.

[0065] Specifically, after acquiring the monitoring data, the monitoring gateway 2 can extract the patient's relevant medical data from the monitoring data, and then the monitoring gateway 2 sends the medical data to the fixed monitor 4. The display on the fixed monitor 4 shows the medical data, so that medical staff can observe it at any time.

[0066] When a patient uses the portable monitor 3, the storage module on the portable monitor 3 can store not only the patient's identity information and monitoring data, but also the patient's medical data.

[0067] In one embodiment provided in this application, the portable monitor 3 stores the patient's medical data, which includes, but is not limited to: the patient's preoperative physical condition and status (whether medication was taken before the operation, preoperative treatment history, etc.), preoperative waiting time, and whether preoperative preparation was completed.

[0068] When the portable monitor 3 is moved to the vicinity of the operating room along with the patient, the monitoring gateway 2 in the operating room connects to the portable monitor 3. The monitoring gateway 2 can acquire medical data and send the medical data to the fixed monitor 4. The fixed monitor 4 displays the medical data, making it convenient for medical staff to observe at any time.

[0069] See Figure 1a , Figure 1b and Figure 2 In one embodiment provided in this application, the monitoring gateway 2 includes a connection unit 21 connected to the monitoring gateway 2, and the portable monitor 3 can be connected to the connection unit 21. When the connection unit 21 is connected to the portable monitor 3, the connection unit 21 can identify the identification information of the portable monitor 3, and then the monitoring gateway 2 obtains the identification information through the connection unit 21. The monitoring gateway 2 can then communicate with the portable monitor 3, and subsequently the portable monitor 3 can feed back the patient's identity information and / or monitoring data to the monitoring gateway 2.

[0070] In the technical solution provided in this application, the connection unit 21 on the monitoring gateway 2 can quickly identify the portable monitor 3, and then enable the portable monitor 3 to quickly connect to the monitoring gateway 2. The connection steps are simple, convenient for medical staff to operate, and can also achieve accurate connection.

[0071] The connection unit 21 can be a wired connection unit. For example, the monitoring gateway 2 is provided with multiple connection interfaces (connection unit 21), and the portable monitor 3 has a connection cable. By inserting the connection cable into the connection interface, the monitoring gateway 2 and the portable monitor 3 can be connected.

[0072] See Figure 2 In another embodiment provided in this application, the connection unit 21 is a wireless connection unit 21, which is detachably connected to the monitoring gateway 2 and communicates with the monitoring gateway 2. After the connection operation is performed, the connection unit 21 can communicate with the portable monitor 3.

[0073] Specifically, this connection unit 21 is a Bluetooth connection module, which is magnetically connected to the main body of the monitoring gateway 2. When the Bluetooth connection module is within the communication range of the monitoring gateway 2, the Bluetooth connection module can communicate with the monitoring gateway 2.

[0074] During the connection process, medical staff remove the Bluetooth connection module from the monitoring gateway 2 and bring it close to the portable monitor 3. When the Bluetooth connection module is within the communication range of the portable monitor 3, it can communicate with the portable monitor 3. Finally, the connection unit 21 sends the connection information to the monitoring gateway 2, thereby enabling the monitoring gateway 2 to communicate with the portable monitor 3.

[0075] In the technical solution provided in this application, when enabling the monitoring gateway 2 and the portable monitor 3 to quickly communicate and connect, the communication connection between the two devices can be achieved by simply removing the Bluetooth connection module from the monitoring gateway 2 and performing a simple operation. Compared with filling in and inputting patient identity information on the portable monitor 3, this method is simple to operate, connects quickly, and is less prone to errors, effectively reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0076] join Figure 3 In one embodiment of this application, a monitoring data acquisition method is also provided. This monitoring data acquisition method is applicable to the monitoring system described above. The portable monitor 3 stores the patient's identity information. When the patient uses the portable monitor 3 for the first time, the medical staff will input the patient's identity information into the portable monitor 3, thereby completing the binding between the portable monitor 3 and the patient.

[0077] The monitoring data collection method includes the following steps:

[0078] S101, based on the connection signal between the portable monitor 3 and the server 1, the server 1 obtains the patient's identity information and the monitoring data corresponding to the identity information from the portable monitor 3;

[0079] S102, based on the connection signal between the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2, the monitoring gateway 2 obtains the patient's identity information from the portable monitor 3, and then the portable monitor 3 stops collecting the patient's vital signs information;

[0080] S103, the monitoring gateway 2 collects the monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor 4, binds the monitoring data with the patient's identity information, and sends it to the server 1.

[0081] In step S101 above, the portable monitor 3 can communicate with the server 1 via a communication module, or the portable monitor 3 can communicate with the server 1 via a monitoring gateway 2. After the portable monitor 3 uploads the patient's identity information and the corresponding monitoring data to the server 1, the server 1 can store the monitoring data under the patient's name.

[0082] In the above steps, server 1 can not only receive monitoring data uploaded by portable monitor 3, but also collect monitoring data collected by fixed monitor 4 through monitoring gateway 2, and store the monitoring data received from different monitors under the name of the patient, thereby realizing the collection and recording of monitoring data of the patient throughout the treatment process.

[0083] After connecting to the portable monitor 3, the monitoring gateway 2 can obtain the patient's identity information. When the second monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor 4 connected to the monitoring gateway 2 is uploaded to the server 1, the monitoring gateway 2 can bind the second monitoring data with the patient's identity information before uploading it to the server 1. Alternatively, the fixed monitor 4 can obtain the patient's identity information from the monitoring gateway 2, and then automatically bind the second monitoring data with the patient's identity information when collecting second monitoring data, ultimately uploading the bound unified data to the server 1.

[0084] Furthermore, the monitoring data collection method also includes the following steps:

[0085] S104, based on the communication interruption signal between the portable monitor 3 and the monitoring gateway 2, or based on the secondary start signal of the portable monitor 3, the portable monitor 3 resumes its connection with the server 1;

[0086] S105, Server 1 obtains the first monitoring data from Portable Monitor 3 again.

[0087] In the above steps, when the portable monitor 3 leaves the communication range of the monitoring gateway 2, the portable monitor 3 disconnects from the monitoring gateway 2, the portable monitor 3 will be reactivated, the portable monitor 3 will resume communication with the server 1, and the first monitoring data collected by the portable monitor 3 can be sent to the server 1.

[0088] Of course, when a patient needs to switch from using a fixed monitor 4 to using a portable monitor 3, medical staff can also actively start the portable monitor 3. That is, based on the secondary start signal of the portable monitor 3, the portable monitor 3 resumes its communication connection with the server 1.

[0089] The technical solution of this application will be briefly described below through a specific use case.

[0090] Taking painless gastroscopy as an example, after a patient is scheduled for surgery, medical staff will distribute a portable monitor 3 to the patient. The portable monitor 3 stores the patient's identity information, and this step will be manually operated by medical staff. The portable monitor 3 can collect the patient's vital signs data (first monitoring data) before the surgery and then store the collected vital signs data, or the portable monitor 3 can communicate with server 1 to send the collected vital signs data to server 1, where server 1 stores this vital signs data according to the patient's identity.

[0091] After the patient is transferred to the operating room, the portable monitor 3 will be discontinued, and a fixed monitor 4 will be used instead. Additionally, a monitoring gateway 2 is installed in the operating room, which is connected to the fixed monitor 4. When the patient is transferred to the operating room, the monitoring gateway 2 can also connect to the patient's portable monitor 3, obtaining the patient's identity information and then binding this information with the identification information of the monitoring gateway 2.

[0092] During the surgery, the patient's vital signs data (secondary monitoring data) are collected by the fixed monitor 4. This vital signs data is then uploaded to the server 1 through the monitoring gateway 2. Since the monitoring gateway 2 is already bound to the patient's identity information, the vital signs data will be matched with the identity information when uploading the vital signs data. The server 1 can then store this vital signs data corresponding to the patient's identity.

[0093] After the surgery, the patient is transferred from the operating room to the anesthesia recovery room. At this time, the monitoring gateway 2 and the fixed monitor 4 in the operating room will be discontinued, and the portable monitor 3 will be used instead. The portable monitor 3 will collect the patient's vital signs data, upload it to the server 1, and store it in accordance with the patient's identity information.

[0094] In the above process, after admission, medical staff only need to input the patient's identity information once onto the portable monitor 3. When the patient needs to use the fixed monitor 4 for surgery, the patient's identity information will automatically be transferred from the portable monitor 3 to the monitoring gateway 2. The vital sign data collected by the fixed monitor 4 connected to the monitoring gateway 2 can also be stored according to the patient's identity information. Medical staff do not need to input the patient's identity information onto the fixed monitor 4. For the collection of vital sign data of the patient throughout the treatment process, the devices can cooperate with each other to automatically collect, record and store the data. The data recording process is simple, convenient, efficient and less prone to errors.

[0095] In summary, in the technical solution provided in the application embodiments, the portable monitor stores the patient's identity information. When the patient needs to use a fixed monitor after being transferred to another location, the monitoring gateway connected to the fixed monitor can obtain the patient's identity information after connecting to the portable monitor. The second monitoring data collected by the fixed monitor can be automatically matched with the identity information and uploaded to the server. The patient's identity information can be quickly transferred between different devices and automatically associated with the monitoring data. This can accurately realize the rapid collection of monitoring data throughout the patient's treatment process. The operation is simple and efficient.

[0096] See Figure 4 As shown, this application also provides a monitoring data acquisition method in one embodiment. The subject of this method can be a monitoring gateway in a monitoring system. Specifically, the method may include:

[0097] S201. When the first triggering condition is met with the portable monitor, communicate with the portable monitor;

[0098] S202. When the patient's identity information is stored locally, the patient's identity information is sent to the portable monitor.

[0099] S203. If there is no patient identity information locally, and it is determined through interaction that the portable monitor stores the patient's identity information, then the patient's identity information is obtained from the portable monitor.

[0100] Furthermore, the method may also include the following steps:

[0101] Once the wireless signal strength of the portable monitor is detected to exceed a set threshold, the first trigger condition is met; or

[0102] After scanning and successfully identifying the coded information on the portable monitor, the first triggering condition is met.

[0103] See Figure 5 As shown, this application also provides a monitoring data acquisition method in one embodiment. The method can be implemented using a portable patient monitor. Specifically, the method includes:

[0104] S301. Collect the patient's vital signs information and generate monitoring data;

[0105] S302. Associate the monitoring data with the locally stored patient identity information and send it to the server;

[0106] S303. When the first triggering condition is met, the patient's identity information and the monitoring data are sent to the monitoring gateway so that the monitoring gateway stores the patient's identity information and stops sending the monitoring data to the server.

[0107] Furthermore, this embodiment may also include the following steps:

[0108] S304. When the second triggering condition is met with the monitoring gateway, obtain and store the patient's identity information from the monitoring gateway.

[0109] S305. Collect the patient's vital signs information and generate monitoring data;

[0110] S306. Associate the monitoring data with the identity information and send it to the server.

[0111] The scenario described above could be as follows: A patient is monitored for vital signs using a fixed monitor connected to a monitoring gateway in the operating room. The monitoring gateway stores the patient's identity information and associates the monitoring data generated by the fixed monitor with the patient's identity information before sending it to the server. After the surgery, a new portable monitor is fitted to the patient. This portable monitor does not yet contain the patient's identity information. Once fitted by medical staff, the portable monitor, being within the communication range of the monitoring gateway, fulfills the second triggering condition. The portable monitor then retrieves the patient's identity information from the monitoring gateway in the operating room, initiates the collection of the patient's vital signs, generates monitoring data, and associates the monitoring data with the identity information before sending it to the server.

[0112] See Figure 6 As shown, this application also provides a monitoring data acquisition method in one embodiment. The method can be implemented using a portable patient monitor. Specifically, the method includes:

[0113] S401. When the second triggering condition is met, communication is established with the monitoring gateway; the monitoring gateway is connected to the fixed monitor, the monitoring gateway stores the patient's identity information, and the monitoring gateway associates the second monitoring data monitored by the fixed monitor with the patient's identity information and sends it to the server.

[0114] S402. Obtain and store the patient's identity information from the monitoring gateway;

[0115] S403. The portable monitor moves with the patient, collects the patient's vital signs information during the movement, and generates monitoring data;

[0116] S404. Associate the monitoring data with the patient's identity information and send it to the server.
