Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical collection equipment, and particularly relates to a monitoring data collection system, a vital sign monitoring method, a monitoring gateway and equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of medical technology, in order to timely understand the physical condition of a patient, the patient needs professional instruments to monitor various vital signs in real time during a treatment period and a recovery period, and also needs to record drug use and record monitoring related data.

[0003] According to the current medical specification, all surgical patients need to record various data in the anesthesia process in detail to meet the data needs of generating a patient anesthesia record sheet. However, in the current anesthesia record sheet production process, only the data (such as heartbeat, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, etc.) on the monitor can be automatically collected, and the patient's respiratory information and drug information cannot be automatically collected. This not only increases the work burden of medical staff, but also easily causes inaccurate or missed recording. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application is proposed to solve the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] In a first embodiment of the present application, a monitoring data collection system is provided, comprising:

[0006] a first multi-parameter monitor configured to collect first vital sign information of a target object and generate first monitoring data;

[0007] at least one collection device configured to collect second vital sign information of the target object and generate second monitoring data;

[0008] a monitoring gateway communicatively connected with the first multi-parameter monitor and the at least one collection device, configured to determine an identity of the target object, receive the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data, and associate the first monitoring data, the second monitoring data and the identity, and send the associated first monitoring data, second monitoring data and identity to a server;

[0009] the server is configured to store the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data based on the identity, so as to generate whole-process monitoring information corresponding to the target object.

[0010] In a second embodiment of the present application, a vital sign monitoring method is provided. The method is applicable to a monitoring gateway, and specifically the method comprises:

[0011] When being in the first monitoring area, a monitoring gateway in the first monitoring area determines an identity of the monitored target object;

[0012] The monitoring gateway in the first monitoring area acquires first monitoring data collected by the first multi-parameter monitor and second monitoring data collected by the at least one collection device;

[0013] The monitoring gateway in the first monitoring area associates the first monitoring data, the second monitoring data and the identity, and sends the associated first monitoring data, the second monitoring data and the identity to the server.

[0014] In a third embodiment of the present application, a monitoring gateway is provided. The monitoring gateway comprises:

[0015] a gateway body;

[0016] a first communication component arranged on the gateway body and configured to be communicatively connected with at least one multi-parameter monitor and at least one collection device;

[0017] a second communication component arranged on the gateway body and configured to be communicatively connected with a server;

[0018] a processing component configured to implement the steps in the method embodiments.

[0019] In a fourth embodiment of the present application, a collection device is provided. The collection device is an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector; the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is provided with a storage unit, and the storage unit stores an identity of a target object using the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector;

[0020] The end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is provided with a third communication component, and the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is in contact with, close to or electrically connected with a monitoring gateway; the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is communicatively connected with the monitoring gateway through the third communication component, and is configured to send the identity of the target object to the monitoring and to send monitored monitoring data to the monitoring gateway, so that the monitoring gateway associates the monitoring data with the identity.

[0021] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the monitoring gateway can determine the identity of the target object. The monitoring gateway can associate the identity with the first monitoring data generated by the first vital sign information of the target object collected by the first multi-parameter monitor, and the second monitoring data generated by the second vital sign information of the target object collected by at least one acquisition device. The associated first monitoring data, second monitoring data, and the identity are then sent to the server so that the server can generate full-process monitoring information corresponding to the target object. In addition, in specific implementation, based on the data requirements of the anesthesia record, the type (such as an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector) and number of acquisition devices in this embodiment can be set, and an appropriate multi-parameter monitor can be set to provide more comprehensive monitoring of the target object. The monitoring gateway associates the received first and second monitoring data with the identity of the target object and sends them to the server, so that the server generates anesthesia record corresponding to the target object.

[0022] Furthermore, the technical solution provided in this embodiment also has certain advantages in scenarios involving the transfer of target objects. After the target object is transferred, the monitoring gateway in the second area can identify the target object's identity. After receiving the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data collected by the first multi-parameter monitor and at least one acquisition device in the second area, it can associate the identity with the first and second monitoring data and upload them to the server, thereby realizing full-process monitoring of the patient. This eliminates the need for medical staff to manually input the target object's identity, making the entire process highly efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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, current anesthesia record generation processes can only automatically collect data from monitors (such as heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG), while respiratory and medication information cannot be automatically collected. Crucially, operating room monitors are already largely equipped, and adding new monitoring indicators or data during surgery presents significant challenges unless the existing monitors are replaced, which is extremely costly. Therefore, this patent provides a method that, without altering existing operating room monitors, especially fixed monitors, better meets the needs for recording and synchronizing newly added monitoring indicators or data, particularly for data monitoring and recording throughout the patient's entire treatment cycle.

[0033] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a monitoring data acquisition system, which includes: a server 1, a first multi-parameter monitor 2, a monitoring gateway 3, and at least one acquisition device 5.

[0034] The first multi-parameter monitor 2 is used to collect the first vital signs information of the target object and generate the first monitoring data;

[0035] At least one acquisition device 5 is used to acquire the second vital signs information of the target object and generate second monitoring data;

[0036] The monitoring gateway 3 is communicatively connected to the first multi-parameter monitor and at least one data acquisition device, and is used to determine the identity of the target object, receive the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data, associate the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data with the identity, and send the associated first monitoring data, the second monitoring data and the identity to the server.

[0037] Server 1 is used to store the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data based on the identity identifier, so as to generate full-process monitoring information corresponding to the target object.

[0038] The first multi-parameter monitor 2 is a device or system that measures and controls a patient's physiological parameters, compares them with known set values, and issues an alarm if any parameters exceed the set limits. The first multi-parameter monitor 2 can continuously monitor a patient's vital signs 24 hours a day, detect trends, identify critical situations, and provide doctors with a basis for emergency treatment, minimizing complications and achieving the goal of alleviating or eliminating the condition. The vital signs information collected by the first multi-parameter monitor may include, but is not limited to, the following parameters: electrocardiogram, respiration, non-invasive blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse, body temperature, etc.

[0039] At least one data acquisition device 5 may include, but is not limited to: end-tidal carbon dioxide detector, infusion setter, respiratory resistance tester, bispectral index tester, etc.

[0040] The monitoring gateway 3 and the first multi-parameter monitor 2 are located in the same monitoring area, such as the same ward, the same operating room, the same observation room, etc. The monitoring gateway 3 can be plugged into the interface of the first multi-parameter monitor 2. Of course, the monitoring gateway 3 and the first multi-parameter monitor 2 can also be connected wirelessly.

[0041] In this embodiment, the monitoring gateway 3 has an identification identifier for the target object (i.e., the monitored object). In a first feasible solution, the monitoring gateway 3 is equipped with a camera and / or a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is a photoelectric barcode scanning module. The monitoring gateway 3 can generate or obtain the identification identifier by scanning the information code worn by the target object through the camera or barcode scanner. For example, for hospitalized patients, medical staff will issue wristbands to them, which are printed with information codes, patient names, genders, ages, etc. The information code can be a string, barcode, or QR code, etc.

[0042] Alternatively, in the second feasible solution, the monitoring gateway 3 is equipped with a detachable active module. A camera and / or a barcode scanner are mounted on this active module. Assuming a patient enters the operating room, medical staff can remove the active module from the monitoring gateway 3 inside the operating room and scan the information code worn by the patient using the camera and / or barcode scanner on the active module to obtain the patient's identification.

[0043] Alternatively, the patient's wristband may have a readable chip storing the patient's identification information. The activity module may have a contact or proximity reading component. Healthcare workers can remove the activity module from the monitoring gateway 3 and bring it close to or into contact with the patient's wristband to obtain the patient's identification information.

[0044] Alternatively, the patient's vital signs monitoring terminal may have a readable chip storing the patient's identification information. The activity module may have a contact or proximity reading component. Medical staff can remove the activity module from the monitoring gateway 3 and bring it close to or in contact with the patient's wristband to obtain the patient's identification information.

[0045] Alternatively, in this embodiment, the acquisition device 5 can move with the target object. The acquisition device 5 is equipped with a readable chip that stores the patient's (i.e., the target object mentioned above) identification. The acquisition device 5 touches or approaches the monitoring gateway. For example, when the activity module on the monitoring gateway touches or approaches the acquisition device 5, the monitoring gateway 3 reads the readable chip to obtain the identification.

[0046] Alternatively, the acquisition device 5 may have a storage unit that stores the identity identifier of the target object. The acquisition device 5 is provided with a first electrical connection port, and the monitoring gateway 3 is provided with a second electrical connection port. When the second electrical connection port detects that the first electrical connection port is plugged in, it communicates with the monitoring gateway 3 to obtain the identity identifier from the acquisition device 5.

[0047] After the monitoring gateway 3 identifies the target object, it sends the identification to the first multi-parameter monitor, which then displays the target object's identification on its screen. Medical staff can confirm that the monitoring gateway 3 has successfully obtained the target object's identification by viewing the identification displayed on the first multi-parameter monitor.

[0048] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the monitoring gateway can determine the identity of the target object. The monitoring gateway can associate the identity with the first monitoring data generated by the first vital sign information of the target object collected by the first multi-parameter monitor, and the second monitoring data generated by the second vital sign information of the target object collected by at least one acquisition device. The associated first monitoring data, second monitoring data, and the identity are then sent to the server so that the server can generate full-process monitoring information corresponding to the target object. In addition, in specific implementation, based on the data requirements of the anesthesia record, the type (such as an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector) and number of acquisition devices in this embodiment can be set, and an appropriate multi-parameter monitor can be set to provide more comprehensive monitoring of the target object. The monitoring gateway associates the received first and second monitoring data with the identity of the target object and sends them to the server, so that the server generates anesthesia record corresponding to the target object.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first multi-parameter monitor is a fixed monitor. At least one data acquisition device is a portable device. "Portable" can be understood as being able to travel with the patient. For example, a patient needs to be transferred from the ward to the operating room. When the patient leaves the ward, they need to disconnect from the first multi-parameter monitor in the ward. However, at least one data acquisition device can accompany the patient from the ward to the operating room and continuously monitor the patient's secondary vital signs information within the operating room. After the patient arrives in the operating room, the vital signs acquisition terminal worn by the patient needs to connect to the first multi-parameter monitor in the operating room to collect the patient's primary vital signs information and generate primary monitoring information. The first multi-parameter monitor in the operating room is communicatively connected to the monitoring gateway in the operating room, but at least one data acquisition device that accompanies the patient into the operating room needs to be communicatively connected to the monitoring gateway.

[0050] After these hardware components are connected, the patient's identity needs to be clearly identified. This allows the monitoring gateway to associate the first monitoring data collected by the first multi-parameter monitor in the operating room, as well as the second monitoring data collected by at least one acquisition device, with the patient's identity.

[0051] One approach is for healthcare professionals to use cameras and / or barcode scanners on the monitoring gateway to obtain patient identification. For example, by photographing or scanning the wristband worn by the patient.

[0052] The second method involves healthcare personnel using contact or proximity reading devices on the monitoring gateway to read the patient's identification. For example, this can be done by reading a readable chip on the patient's wristband or a readable chip on the vital signs monitoring terminal worn by the patient. The readable chip stores the patient's identification information.

[0053] The third method, and also the most efficient, involves having at least one data collection device continuously attached to the patient. Therefore, obtaining the patient's identification from this device is simple and accurate.

[0054] In this embodiment, the at least one data acquisition device 5 is used to follow the target object's movement. After meeting set conditions, it establishes a communication connection with the monitoring gateway 3 to interact with the monitoring gateway 3, enabling the monitoring gateway 3 to obtain the target object's identity and receive second monitoring data sent by the at least one data acquisition device 5. The set conditions may be, but are not limited to:

[0055] The set condition is met when the target object moves to a distance of 3 from the monitoring gateway that is less than or equal to the set value; or

[0056] After being electrically connected to the monitoring gateway 3 via the electrical connection port, the set conditions are met; etc.

[0057] Assumption Figure 1 The monitoring gateway 3 and the first multi-parameter monitor are located in the first area (such as a ward, operating room, intensive care unit, or observation room). After at least one data acquisition device 5 moves to the first area with the target object, it communicates with the monitoring gateway 3, and the monitoring gateway 3 obtains the target object's identification from the at least one data acquisition device. After the vital sign detection terminal worn by the target object is electrically connected to the first multi-parameter monitor in the first area, the first multi-parameter monitor can receive the target object's first monitoring data. After receiving the first monitoring data sent by the first multi-parameter monitor and the second monitoring data sent by at least one data acquisition device 5, the monitoring gateway 3 associates the identification with the first and second monitoring data and sends it to the server.

[0058] After receiving the associated identity identifier, first monitoring data, and second monitoring data, the server stores the first monitoring data and second monitoring data in the storage area corresponding to the identity identifier, so that when an anesthesia record needs to be generated, all monitoring data in the storage area corresponding to the identity identifier can be retrieved to generate the anesthesia record for the target object.

[0059] 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 anesthesia record. This means that patients need to have their vital signs monitored throughout the entire process.

[0060] Before surgery, the patient needs to be connected to a multi-parameter monitor, such as one in the ward. During the transfer from the ward to the operating room, another multi-parameter monitor may be needed to monitor vital signs and collect data on the target subject's vital signs during transport. In this embodiment, at least one data acquisition device can collect secondary monitoring data of the target subject during transport, and this secondary monitoring data can be stored in the storage unit of the data acquisition device. Once the target subject is transferred to... Figure 1 After establishing a communication connection with the monitoring gateway within the first area, the stored second monitoring data collected during transit is packaged and sent to the monitoring gateway, which then forwards it to the server. For the first monitoring data of the target object during transit, see [link to documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring data acquisition system provided in this embodiment of the application also includes a second multi-parameter monitor 4. The second multi-parameter monitor 4 is a portable monitor: it is used during transport or while the target object is being transported. The first multi-parameter monitor 2 is a fixed monitor.

[0061] The monitoring parameters of the second multi-parameter monitor 4 are the same as those of the first multi-parameter monitor. The second multi-parameter monitor 4 stores the target object's identification identifier, used to follow the target object's movement and collect the target object's initial monitoring data, then associates the collected initial monitoring data with the identification identifier and sends it to the server; when following the target object to a distance from the monitoring gateway (e.g., ... Figure 1 When the monitoring gateway 3) in the first area is less than or equal to the set value, or when it is different from the monitoring gateway (e.g., ... Figure 1 After the monitoring gateway 3) in the first area is touched, it will interact with the monitoring gateway (such as...). Figure 1 Establish a communication connection with the monitoring gateway 3) in the first area, and connect with the monitoring gateway (such as...) Figure 1 The first area of ​​the monitoring gateway 3) interacts, enabling the monitoring gateway (such as Figure 1 3) The monitoring gateway in the first area obtains the identity of the target object.

[0062] The second multi-parameter monitor 4 stops collecting data, and the first multi-parameter monitor 3 takes over from the second multi-parameter monitor 4 to collect the first monitoring data of the target object. After the vital signs detection terminal worn by the patient is disconnected from the second multi-parameter monitor 4, the second multi-parameter monitor 4 stops collecting data, and after the vital signs detection terminal worn by the patient is connected to the first multi-parameter monitor 2, the first multi-parameter monitor 2 starts working.

[0063] The monitoring gateway 3 compares the target object's identity identifier obtained from the second multi-parameter monitor 4 with the target object's identity identifier obtained from at least one data acquisition device 5. If the identity identifier obtained from the second multi-parameter monitor 4 is the same as the identity identifier obtained from at least one data acquisition device 5, the monitoring gateway 3 determines that the obtained identity identifier is the target object's identity identifier.

[0064] If the identification identifier obtained from the second multi-parameter monitor 4 is different from the identification identifier obtained from at least one data acquisition device 5, the monitoring gateway 3 can output a prompt message. For example, the monitoring gateway 3 is equipped with a display and / or a speaker, and the prompt message can be output through the display and / or speaker.

[0065] In this embodiment, at least one data acquisition device includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector, an infusion setter, a respiratory resistance tester, and a bispectral index (BTI) analyzer. The primary vital signs information acquired by the first and second multi-parameter monitors may include, but is not limited to, multiple of the following: blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen saturation.

[0066] Figure 3 and Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a vital signs monitoring method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The executing entity of the method described in this embodiment can be a monitoring gateway. In scenarios such as hospitals or nursing homes, wards, operating rooms, and intensive care units are typically equipped with one or more monitoring gateways. Specifically, the method includes:

[0067] 101. When within the first monitoring area, the monitoring gateway within the first monitoring area determines the identity of the monitored target object.

[0068] 102. The monitoring gateway in the first monitoring area acquires the first monitoring data collected by the first multi-parameter monitor and the second monitoring data collected by at least one acquisition device.

[0069] 103. The monitoring gateway in the first monitoring area associates the first monitoring data, the second monitoring data, and the identity identifier, and sends the associated first monitoring data, the second monitoring data, and the identity identifier to the server.

[0070] In the above 102, "acquiring the first monitoring data collected by the first multi-parameter monitor and the second monitoring data collected by at least one acquisition device" includes:

[0071] Receive the first monitoring data sent by the first multi-parameter monitor;

[0072] Receive second monitoring data sent by at least one acquisition device.

[0073] In this process, the first multi-parameter monitor sends its first monitoring data and its device identifier to the monitoring gateway simultaneously. At least one data acquisition device sends its second monitoring data and its device identifier to the monitoring gateway simultaneously.

[0074] Correspondingly, the monitoring gateway can associate the first monitoring data, the first multi-parameter monitor, the second monitoring data, the device identifier of at least one data acquisition device, and the device identifier, and send them to the server.

[0075] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the monitoring gateway can determine the identity of the target object. The monitoring gateway can associate the identity with the first monitoring data generated by the first vital sign information of the target object collected by the first multi-parameter monitor, and the second monitoring data generated by the second vital sign information of the target object collected by at least one acquisition device. The associated first monitoring data, second monitoring data, and the identity are then sent to the server so that the server can generate full-process monitoring information corresponding to the target object. In addition, in specific implementation, based on the data requirements of the anesthesia record, the type (such as an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector) and number of acquisition devices in this embodiment can be set, and an appropriate multi-parameter monitor can be set to provide more comprehensive monitoring of the target object. The monitoring gateway associates the received first and second monitoring data with the identity of the target object and sends them to the server, so that the server generates anesthesia record corresponding to the target object.

[0076] Furthermore, during the transfer of the target object, the at least one acquisition device follows the target object to continuously acquire the second monitoring data. The method provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0077] 104. When the target object is transferred to the second monitoring area, when the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area detects that the at least one acquisition device has entered the second monitoring area, or after the at least one acquisition device is electrically connected to the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area through an electrical connection port, or after the at least one acquisition device touches the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area, the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area communicates with the at least one acquisition device to obtain the identity of the target object from any of the at least one acquisition device.

[0078] Furthermore, the acquisition device is equipped with a memory for storing the second monitoring data acquired during transport. The method provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0079] 105. After the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area is connected to the at least one data acquisition device, it obtains the second monitoring data collected during the transfer from the at least one data acquisition device, and sends the second monitoring data during the transfer along with the identity identifier to the server.

[0080] That is, at least one data acquisition device is not directly connected to the network-side server. The second monitoring data of the target object collected during transportation is stored in the memory of the data acquisition device. After the data acquisition device is transported with the target object to the second monitoring space and connected to the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring space, the second monitoring data stored during transportation is sent to the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring space.

[0081] Furthermore, during the transfer of the target object, a second multi-parameter monitor moves with the target object to take over from the first multi-parameter monitor and continuously collect the first monitoring data. The collected first monitoring data is then associated with the target object's identity identifier and sent to the server; wherein the second multi-parameter monitor stores the target object's identity identifier. The method provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0082] 106. When the target object is transferred to the second monitoring area, when the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area detects that the second multi-parameter monitor has entered the second monitoring area, or when the second multi-parameter monitor is close to the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area, the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area communicates with the second multi-parameter monitor to obtain the identity of the target object from the second multi-parameter monitor.

[0083] 107. The second multi-parameter monitor stops collecting data, and the first multi-parameter monitor in the second monitoring area continues to collect the first monitoring data of the target object from the second multi-parameter monitor, and sends the collected first monitoring data to the server through the monitoring gateway in the second monitoring area.

[0084] See Figure 4 As shown, when the target object is within the first monitoring area, at least one data acquisition device 5 sends the second monitoring data of the target object to the monitoring gateway 3 within the first monitoring area, and the first multi-parameter monitor 2 sends the first monitoring data of the target object to the monitoring gateway 3 within the first monitoring area. The monitoring gateway 3 associates the target object's identity, the received first monitoring data, and the second monitoring data, and sends them to the server.

[0085] During the transfer of the target object from the first monitoring area to the second monitoring area, at least one data acquisition device follows the target object and continuously monitors and generates the target object's second monitoring data. The vital sign detection terminal worn by the target object is disconnected from the first multi-parameter monitor 2 in the first monitoring area and connected to the second multi-parameter monitor 4. The first multi-parameter monitor 2 in the first monitoring area stops working, and the second multi-parameter monitor 4 starts working to generate the target object's first monitoring data. The second multi-parameter monitor 4 is connected to a server via a network and can associate the first monitoring data detected during the transfer with the target object's identification and send it to the server. The second multi-parameter monitor 4 can obtain the target object's identification by touching or approaching the vital sign detection terminal.

[0086] During transit, after at least one data acquisition device is disconnected from the monitoring gateway, at least one data acquisition device will store the second monitoring data collected during transit locally (i.e., on the storage unit of the data acquisition device).

[0087] After the target object arrives at the second monitoring area, the vital sign detection terminal worn by the target object disconnects from the second multi-parameter monitor 4 and connects to the first multi-parameter monitor 2 within the second monitoring area. The second multi-parameter monitor 4 stops working, and the first multi-parameter monitor 2 within the second monitoring area starts working to generate the first monitoring data of the target object based on the first vital sign information collected by the vital sign detection terminal. After the second multi-parameter monitor 4 follows the target object into the second monitoring area, it can approach the monitoring gateway 3 within the second monitoring area, allowing the monitoring gateway 3 to obtain the target object's identity. After at least one data acquisition device follows the target object into the second monitoring area, it can communicate with the monitoring gateway 3 through proximity, contact, or wired connection, allowing the monitoring gateway 3 to obtain the target object's identity. After the monitoring gateway 3 confirms the same identity, it associates the first monitoring data of the target object monitored by the first multi-parameter monitor in the second monitoring area, the second monitoring data of the target object detected by at least one data acquisition device, and the identity, and sends them to the server.

[0088] It's important to note here that both the first and second monitoring data sets include timestamps representing the monitoring time points. This allows the server to generate the necessary anesthesia record based on the timestamps of each monitoring data set.

[0089] Therefore, the solution provided in this application embodiment achieves full-process monitoring of the patient. After leaving the first monitoring area, the patient can seamlessly continue working with the first multi-parameter monitor within the first monitoring area via a second, follow-up multi-parameter monitor. During transport, at least one data acquisition device following the patient continuously collects second monitoring data, while the second multi-parameter monitor continuously collects first monitoring data. Upon arrival at the second monitoring area, the monitoring gateway within the second monitoring area automatically identifies the patient without requiring manual input from medical staff. Furthermore, the first multi-parameter monitor within the second monitoring area can continue monitoring the patient, and the at least one data acquisition device following the patient can automatically communicate with the monitoring gateway within the second monitoring area. The monitoring gateway within the second monitoring area then associates the first monitoring data sent by the first multi-parameter monitor, the second monitoring data sent by the at least one data acquisition device, and the patient's identification data with the data and sends them to the server. The entire process is quick and convenient, requiring no manual operation from medical staff, thus reducing the error rate.

[0090] The primary and secondary monitoring data mentioned above may include, but are not limited to, the target subject's vital signs data, medication data, and treatment data. Vital signs data include the target subject's blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, body temperature, and blood oxygen saturation. Medication data includes the type and quantity of medications used by the target subject before surgery, medication history, and drug allergy data. Treatment data includes the target subject's preoperative medical history, treatment duration, and treatment process.

[0091] The device identifiers of the multi-parameter monitor and the monitoring gateway 3 mentioned above are the device identification information used to determine the type of the device. In one specific embodiment, the device identifiers of the multi-parameter monitor 2 and the monitoring gateway can be different MAC (Media Access Control Address) addresses.

[0092] Furthermore, this application also provides a monitoring gateway in one embodiment. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring gateway may include a gateway body, a first communication component, a second communication component, and a processing component. The first communication component, disposed on the gateway body, is used for communication connection with at least one multi-parameter monitor and at least one data acquisition device. The second communication component, disposed on the gateway body, is used for communication connection with a server. The processing component is used to implement the steps in the above method embodiments.

[0093] For detailed steps, please refer to the description above; they will not be repeated here.

[0094] Furthermore, the monitoring gateway in this embodiment can be in the following product form, such as... Figure 6As shown, the gateway body 6 of the monitoring gateway has a mounting position 72, on which a detachable movable module 71 is mounted. The movable module 71 has a first communication component. Medical personnel can detach the movable module 71 to establish a communication connection with at least one multi-parameter monitor and at least one data acquisition device, thereby obtaining the identity of the target object and the monitoring data generated by the multi-parameter monitor and at least one data acquisition device.

[0095] The mounting position 72 can be a mounting slot or a mounting area. The mounting area is equipped with an adsorption component, which can fix the movable module 71 to the mounting position and prevent it from falling off by magnetic adsorption or other adsorption methods.

[0096] Alternatively, the monitoring gateway may not have a detachable movable module; instead, the gateway itself may have a camera or barcode scanner. Or, the movable module may have a camera or barcode scanner.

[0097] Alternatively, the monitoring gateway may have a second electrical connection port for connecting at least one data acquisition device via a wired connection.

[0098] This application also provides a data collection device in one embodiment. The data collection device is an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector; the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is provided with a storage unit, which stores the identity identifier of the target object using the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector.

[0099] The end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is equipped with a third communication component. The end-tidal carbon dioxide detector is touched, near, or electrically connected to the monitoring gateway. The end-tidal carbon dioxide detector communicates with the monitoring gateway through the third communication component, and is used to send the identity identifier of the target object to the monitoring gateway, and also to send the monitored data to the monitoring gateway, so that the monitoring gateway can associate the monitored data with the identity identifier.

[0100] End-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) detectors can measure carbon dioxide concentration and respiratory rate under all respiratory conditions, providing clear indicators, especially for anesthetized patients, ICU patients, and respiratory departments providing respiratory support and management. They are used to monitor patients' respiratory status during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and during transport. PETCO2, as a monitoring indicator, is considered the sixth essential vital sign, in addition to body temperature, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, and arterial oxygen saturation. PETCO2 is one of the basic monitoring indicators during anesthesia.

[0101] Furthermore, the end-tidal carbon dioxide detector also has a storage unit for storing data collected during transport. Once the data is transferred to the target monitoring area along with the target object, it is then sent to the server through the monitoring gateway in the target monitoring area.
