Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of patient care monitoring and alarm technology, specifically a wristband-type intelligent nursing alarm system. Background Technology

[0002] Clinical statistics show that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among people aged 65 and above in my country. In hospitals, patient falls are also one of the most common adverse events, accounting for 38% of all adverse events. There are approximately 3 to 11 falls per 1,000 beds, with a fall injury rate of about 25%.

[0003] However, the causes of falls among the elderly are complex and varied. Decreased balance and lower limb muscle strength are the main reasons for falls. The incidence of falls and bed falls among hospitalized patients during getting in and out of bed (21.96%) is significantly higher than falls caused by other behaviors. Many elderly patients, especially those who are frequently hospitalized or have long hospital stays, fall or fall out of bed due to various reasons, such as overestimating their abilities, feeling sorry for family members who are not getting enough rest from long-term care, or feeling embarrassed to trouble others. Therefore, we believe that if caregivers could promptly sense when a patient is about to get up and assist them, falls and bed falls could be prevented. Furthermore, if there were measures that allowed caregivers to know in advance when a patient is about to get up and return to their side in time, caregivers could work and rest with peace of mind.

[0004] According to the invention disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 202321477122.0, a medical fall prevention alarm device is installed on the bed to prevent patients from accidentally falling off the bed. However, this medical fall prevention alarm device does not provide comprehensive monitoring of patients. In hospitals, the alarm is usually far from the nurses' area, and when the alarm sounds, medical staff may not be able to react and provide assistance in time, which may cause serious consequences. Moreover, the sound of the alarm device can seriously disturb the rest of other patients.

[0005] Furthermore, according to the invention mentioned in Chinese Patent Application No. 202110235039.1, an intelligent nursing mattress and alarm control method are used. This intelligent nursing mattress and alarm control system installs a sensor system on the mattress according to the body parts of the human body. The alarm information is issued through the measurement data of the sensor system and the alarm control method. Caregivers can obtain the patient's care needs in a timely manner through the alarm information. However, this intelligent nursing mattress and alarm control method has certain defects in use. When the patient sits on the edge of the bed and other family members sit on the edge of the bed at the same time, the mattress data measurement will fail. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a wristband-type intelligent nursing alarm system to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a wristband-type intelligent nursing alarm system, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This wristband-type intelligent nursing alarm system, by wearing a vibrating wristband on the patient's wrist and placing an optical sensor on the nursing bed, monitors whether there is someone on the bed. When the optical sensor detects the patient getting off the bed, it directly transmits the information to the monitoring platform, reminding nursing staff that the patient needs assistance. This solves the problem in the background technology that the alarm cannot monitor the patient's specific situation.

[0020] 2. This wristband-style intelligent nursing alarm system detects the movement of a patient leaving the bed when the optical sensor detects the movement. The vibrating wristband immediately triggers a vibration alarm, reminding the caregiver that the patient has left the bed and that assistance is needed to help the patient get out of bed to prevent falls. Unlike traditional fall alarm devices, this system can issue a vibration alarm the moment the patient leaves the bed, thus reminding the patient in advance and avoiding potential fall risks.

[0021] 3. This wristband-style intelligent nursing alarm system uses a silent alarm vibration method to remind patients, avoiding the noise of traditional systems that may disturb other patients' rest and improving the overall quietness of the nursing environment; the vibrating wristband is simple in design, easy to wear and use, and patients and their families can quickly get started without complicated settings.

[0022] 4. This wristband-style intelligent nursing alarm system connects the vibration wristband and optical sensor to the medical staff's personal PDA, enabling remote alerts to nursing staff who are not at the medical station, allowing them to receive patients' requests for help in a timely manner even when they are doing other things.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-2 A wristband-type intelligent nursing alarm system includes a nursing bed 1, an optical sensor 2 installed on the top of the nursing bed 1, and a vibration wristband 3, a monitoring platform 4 and a PDA 5 wirelessly connected to the output end of the optical sensor 2.

[0028] In the implementation of this case, by wearing a vibration wristband 3 on the patient's wrist and placing an optical sensor 2 on the nursing bed 1, the optical sensor 2 monitors whether there is anyone on the bed. When the optical sensor 2 detects the patient getting off the bed, it directly transmits the information to the monitoring platform 4 and the PDA 5, reminding the nursing staff that the patient needs assistance. The PDA 5 also notifies the nursing staff at a distance, allowing medical staff to receive the patient's request for help in a timely manner while doing other things. This solves the problem in the background technology that the alarm cannot monitor the patient's specific situation.

[0029] In the case implementation, when the patient leaves the bed, the optical sensor 2 detects the movement of someone leaving the bed; the vibration wristband 3 immediately triggers a vibration alarm, reminding the caregiver that the patient has left the bed and needs help to get out of bed to prevent the patient from falling. Unlike traditional fall alarm devices, this system can issue a vibration alarm the moment the patient leaves the bed, thereby reminding the patient in advance and avoiding potential fall risks.

[0030] In the case implementation, the Vibration Bracelet 3 uses a silent alarm vibration mode to remind patients, avoiding the noise of traditional systems that would disturb other patients' rest and improving the overall quietness of the nursing environment; the Vibration Bracelet 3 has a simple design, is easy to wear and use, and patients and their families can quickly get started without complicated settings.

[0031] In the case implementation, the location sharing module can share the patient's location in real time via the vibration wristband 3 to the monitoring platform 4 and PDA 5. The monitoring platform 4 allows the nursing station staff to monitor the patient's location in real time, while the PDA 5 can also receive the patient's location information, enabling nursing staff working remotely to pinpoint the patient's exact location in real time. Furthermore, the power monitoring module can monitor the power of the vibration wristband 3 and remind nursing staff and patients to charge the vibration wristband 3 in a timely manner. The displacement sensing module senses the patient's movement speed, and the humming module can remind the patient to be careful via the vibration wristband 3. When the optical sensor 2 detects that the patient has left the nursing bed 1, the humming module sounds to remind the patient to be careful and avoid falling.

[0032] In summary, this wristband-type intelligent nursing alarm system, by having a vibrating wristband 3 worn on the patient's wrist and an optical sensor 2 placed on the nursing bed 1, monitors whether anyone is on the bed. When the optical sensor 2 detects the patient getting off the bed, it directly transmits the information to the monitoring platform 4 and PDA 5, reminding nursing staff that the patient needs assistance. The PDA 5 also notifies remote nursing staff, allowing medical staff to receive timely requests for help from patients even while performing other tasks. This solves the problem in the prior art where alarms could not monitor the patient's specific condition.

[0033] Furthermore, when the patient leaves the bed, the optical sensor 2 detects the movement of someone leaving the bed; the vibrating wristband 3 immediately triggers a vibration alarm, reminding the caregiver that the patient has left the bed and needs help to get out of bed to prevent the patient from falling. Unlike traditional fall alarm devices, this system can issue a vibration alarm the moment the patient leaves the bed, thereby reminding the patient in advance and avoiding potential fall risks.

[0034] Furthermore, the Vibration Bracelet 3 uses a silent alarm vibration method to remind patients, avoiding the noise of traditional systems that may disturb other patients' rest and improving the overall quietness of the nursing environment. The Vibration Bracelet 3 has a simple design, is easy to wear and use, and patients and their families can quickly get started without complicated settings.
