Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical clothing technology, and more specifically to a restraint-style patient gown with intelligent monitoring function, which is particularly suitable for clinical nursing scenarios of agitated patients, patients with impaired consciousness, Alzheimer's patients, and patients who need to restrict limb movement after surgery. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical nursing, some patients (such as those with agitation, impaired consciousness, Alzheimer's disease, or those who need to restrict limb movement after surgery) are unable to control their limbs and are prone to accidents such as pulling out catheters or scratching their skin, requiring restraint care. Currently, the restraint tools used in clinical practice are mostly independent restraint straps and restraint gloves, used separately from hospital gowns, which has many drawbacks: First, the separation of restraint tools from hospital gowns makes it easy for patients to break free of restraint tools, such as restraint gloves; second, existing restraint gloves are mostly made of opaque materials, making it impossible for medical staff to observe the patient's hand condition in real time, and the hardness is either too high, causing patient discomfort, or too low, failing to effectively restrict grasping movements; third, there is a lack of effective intelligent monitoring methods, making it impossible to monitor the tightness of restraints and the patient's hand signs (such as temperature and blood oxygen saturation) in real time, which can easily lead to situations where restraints are too loose and fail, or restraints are too tight, causing poor blood circulation in the patient's hands, resulting in numbness or abnormal blood oxygenation that are not detected in time, increasing nursing risks; fourth, existing hospital gowns do not have a dedicated fixing structure for clinical catheters (nasogastric tubes, PICC catheters, drainage tubes, etc.), resulting in insecure catheter fixation, easy displacement and dislodgement, and no suitable place for catheters and related equipment (infusion bags, drainage bags) when the patient is temporarily moving, affecting the convenience of nursing care and patient comfort.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing medical gowns often suffer from low levels of intelligence and insufficient adaptability to clinical nursing needs. They fail to integrate restraint, catheter fixation, and intelligent monitoring functions, making it difficult to balance patient comfort, convenience of medical and nursing care, and safety warning requirements. This fails to meet the trend of refined and intelligent development in smart hospital clinical nursing. Furthermore, patients requiring restraint care (such as agitated or unconscious patients) have poor independent movement abilities and are prone to falls due to sudden movements or abnormal postures. Existing patient gowns lack effective fall warning mechanisms, making it difficult to detect fall risks in a timely manner and further increasing nursing risks.

[0004] Therefore, providing a patient gown that combines restraint, catheter fixation, intelligent monitoring, and fall warning functions, while also being comfortable to wear and easy to operate, has become an urgent need in the field of clinical nursing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a restraint-type patient gown with intelligent monitoring function to at least solve one of the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A restraint-style hospital gown with intelligent monitoring capabilities includes: The patient gown body has fall sensors installed on the trouser legs; Restraint gloves, wherein there are two restraint gloves, which are detachably connected to the two cuffs of the patient gown body by a first zipper respectively. The restraint gloves are equipped with temperature sensors for detecting the temperature of the patient's hands, and wrist straps for binding the restraint gloves to the patient's wrists. A hand-driving mechanism is provided on the restraint glove to actively drive the patient's hand to perform bending movements in order to alleviate numbness in the hand.

[0008] Furthermore, the restraint gloves include: A transparent spherical glove, wherein the temperature sensor and the hand drive mechanism are provided on the transparent spherical glove; The connecting sleeve has one end connected to the transparent spherical glove and the other end detachably connected to the cuff of the patient gown body via the first zipper. The connecting sleeve is equipped with the wrist strap.

[0009] Furthermore, the hand drive mechanism includes: An electric telescopic rod, which is fixed to the inner wall of the transparent spherical glove; A push plate, the bottom end of which is connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, is used to drive the patient's hand to perform bending movements to alleviate numbness in the hand.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the transparent spherical glove has multiple ventilation holes, and a shell is fixed to the transparent spherical glove. The shell is connected to the inside of the transparent spherical glove, and a protective net and a fan for ventilation into the transparent spherical glove are fixed inside the shell. The protective net is located below the fan, and the fan is used to reduce the stuffiness of the patient's hands.

[0011] Furthermore, a heating wire is fixed inside the housing between the fan and the protective net. The fan delivers hot air around the heating wire into the transparent spherical glove to reduce the coldness of the patient's hands.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a remote monitor, and the top of the housing is provided with a control display screen that is wirelessly connected to the remote monitor. The control display screen is electrically connected to the fall sensor, the temperature sensor, the fan, the heating wire, and the electric telescopic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the wristband is provided with a pressure sensor for detecting the tightness of the binding, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control display screen.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a blood oxygen detection sensor clipped onto the patient's finger, the blood oxygen detection sensor being electrically connected to the control display screen.

[0015] Furthermore, the front of the transparent spherical glove is detachably connected to an opening and closing cover via a second zipper.

[0016] Furthermore, the patient gown body has multiple buckles for securing commonly used medical catheters and multiple openings for the medical catheters to pass through at corresponding positions, and multiple storage pockets for storing commonly used medical bags at corresponding positions.

[0017] This invention integrates the restraint glove with the patient gown, securing the glove to the cuff. This effectively solves the problem of traditional separate restraint gloves easily slipping and loosening, significantly improving the stability and reliability of the restraint and reducing the risk of patients pulling out tubes or scratching themselves due to restraint failure. Simultaneously, by incorporating fall sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and blood oxygen sensors, it achieves comprehensive real-time monitoring of the patient's lower limb posture, hand temperature, wristband tightness, and blood oxygen saturation. This allows for timely detection and warning of abnormalities such as fall risk, circulatory disorders, and hypoxemia, greatly improving nursing safety. Furthermore, a hand... The drive mechanism can actively move the patient's hand in flexion and extension movements, effectively relieving numbness and joint stiffness caused by long-term restraint. Combined with transparent spherical gloves, ventilation holes, a fan, and heating wires, it not only ensures direct observation of the patient's hand by medical staff, but also achieves active ventilation and cooling as well as constant temperature heating, significantly improving the patient's comfort during long-term wear. In addition, the detachable connecting sleeve, opening and closing cover, and catheter openings, fixing buckles, and storage pockets on the patient gown body allow for quick disassembly and assembly for cleaning and care. At the same time, it enables the orderly fixation of clinical catheters and proper storage of medical bags, further improving the convenience and efficiency of clinical nursing.

[0018] In summary, this invention has achieved comprehensive beneficial effects in terms of constraint reliability, intelligent monitoring, proactive care, wearability comfort, and convenient clinical operation. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses a restraint-type hospital gown with intelligent monitoring function, comprising: The patient gown body 1 is made of pure cotton blend fabric to improve the comfort of patients. It has a loose fit to fit patients of different body types and avoid the feeling of restriction caused by tight design. The cuffs and pant legs are elasticated to fit the limbs without compressing them. It is easy to put on and take off and can prevent cold air from entering. The pant legs of the patient gown body 1 are equipped with fall sensors 2. Restraint gloves 3, there are two restraint gloves 3, which are detachably connected to the two cuffs of the patient gown body 1 via the first zipper 18. The restraint gloves 3 are equipped with a temperature sensor 4 for detecting the temperature of the patient's hand, and a wristband 5 for binding the restraint gloves 3 to the patient's wrist. The hand drive mechanism 6 is mounted on the restraint glove 3 and is used to actively drive the patient's hand to perform bending movements to alleviate hand numbness.

[0028] After the patient puts on the hospital gown (body 1), they place both hands into two restraint gloves (3), which are then secured to the patient's wrists via wrist straps (5), providing initial restraint on the patient's hand movements. Once donned, fall sensors (2) on the trouser legs monitor the patient's lower limb posture in real time, while temperature sensors (4) on the restraint gloves (3) monitor the patient's hand temperature. The monitoring data is transmitted wirelessly to a monitoring terminal. The terminal issues an alert when abnormal temperature or a risk of fall occurs. Simultaneously, the hand drive mechanism (6) on the restraint gloves (3) can actively drive the patient's hands to perform flexion and extension movements according to a preset program or medical instructions.

[0029] This invention integrates the restraint glove with the patient gown, securing the glove to the cuff and preventing it from slipping or loosening. This effectively solves the problem of traditional separate restraint gloves being prone to slippage and loosening, improving the stability and reliability of the restraint and reducing the risk of patients pulling out tubes or scratching themselves due to restraint failure. Furthermore, real-time monitoring of vital signs and safety status is achieved through temperature and fall sensors, reducing the nursing risks caused by hand circulatory disorders or patient falls. The integrated hand actuation mechanism on the restraint glove actively moves the patient's hand joints, effectively alleviating numbness and joint stiffness caused by long-term restraint, thus improving patient comfort.

[0030] In some embodiments, the restraint glove 3 includes: The transparent spherical glove 31 is made of medical-grade hard silicone material (Shore hardness 50-60 degrees), which takes into account observation, restraint and comfort, making it easy for medical staff to observe the condition of the patient's hand, while effectively restricting the fingers' grip and preventing the patient from removing the catheter by himself; the transparent spherical glove 31 is equipped with a temperature sensor 4 and a hand drive mechanism 6. The connecting sleeve 32 is connected at one end to the transparent spherical glove 31 and at the other end to the cuff of the patient gown body 1 via the first zipper 18. The connecting sleeve 32 is equipped with a wrist strap 5.

[0031] This embodiment uses a spherical restraint glove, which not only provides ample space for hand movement and avoids compressing the fingers, but also allows medical staff to directly observe the patient's skin color, swelling, and any scratching behavior. Furthermore, the connecting sleeve and zipper structure allows for quick disassembly of the glove, facilitating hand cleaning, care, and individual glove replacement without requiring a complete change of the patient's gown.

[0032] In some embodiments, the hand drive mechanism 6 includes: Electric telescopic rod 61, which is fixed to the inner wall of transparent spherical glove 31 (such as the position corresponding to the palm). The push plate 62 is connected at its bottom end to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 61, and is used to drive the patient's hand to perform bending movements to alleviate hand numbness.

[0033] Upon activation, the electric telescopic rod 61 reciprocates, driving the push plate 62 to repeatedly push the patient's hand in a bending motion, simulating wrist flexion and thus achieving passive bending movement. Therefore, by replacing manual massage with a mechanical structure, it automatically promotes blood circulation in the patient's hand and effectively prevents muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and the risk of deep vein thrombosis caused by long-term immobilization. Furthermore, the frequency and amplitude of the movement can be precisely adjusted via an electronic control system to suit the tolerance of different patients.

[0034] In other embodiments, the outer wall of the transparent spherical glove 31 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 311 of 0.5-0.8cm. A shell 7 is fixed on the transparent spherical glove 31. The shell 7 communicates with the interior of the transparent spherical glove 31. A protective net 8 and a fan 9 for ventilation into the transparent spherical glove 31 are fixed inside the shell 7. The protective net 8 is located below the fan 9. The fan 9 is used to reduce the stuffiness of the patient's hands.

[0035] During operation, fan 9 draws in outside air and directs it through protective mesh 8 into the transparent spherical glove 31, where the airflow is ultimately exhausted through vents 311. This creates a forced ventilation cycle inside the glove, effectively removing sweat and heat from the hands and reducing stuffiness. Furthermore, it improves the microenvironment for prolonged glove wear, reducing the risk of skin maceration and infection. Additionally, protective mesh 8 prevents patients from touching the rotating fan blades with their fingers, ensuring safe use.

[0036] In a further embodiment, a heating wire 10 is fixed inside the housing 7, positioned between the fan 9 and the protective mesh 8. The fan 9 delivers hot air around the heating wire 10 into the transparent spherical glove 31 to reduce the coldness of the patient's hands. When the temperature sensor 4 detects that the hand temperature is too low (e.g., below a preset threshold (36.0°C)), the heating wire 10 heats up, and simultaneously the fan 9 operates, blowing the heated air around the heating wire 10 downwards, through the protective mesh 8, and into the transparent spherical glove 31 to gently warm the hands. This achieves active heating, solving the problem of cold hands for patients (especially the elderly or those with poor peripheral circulation).

[0037] In some embodiments, the restraint gown also includes a remote monitor 11. The top of the housing 7 is provided with a control display screen 12 that is wirelessly connected (e.g., via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to the remote monitor 11. The control display screen 12 is electrically connected to the fall sensor 2, temperature sensor 4, fan 9, heating wire 10, and electric telescopic rod 61.

[0038] The data collected by the sensors is displayed on the screen and wirelessly synchronized to the remote monitor 11 at the nurse station. Medical staff can set parameters through the remote monitor 11 or directly on the screen to control the fan speed, heating temperature, and the movement mode of the electric telescopic rod.

[0039] This invention constructs a three-level intelligent nursing network of terminal data collection, local display, and remote monitoring, realizing non-contact and centralized patient management, allowing medical staff to monitor the patient's hand status without frequently entering the ward.

[0040] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the wristband 5 is provided with a pressure sensor 13 for detecting the tightness of the restraint. The pressure sensor 13 is electrically connected to the control display screen 12. When the wristband 5 is tightened, the pressure sensor 13 detects the pressure value applied by the wristband to the patient's wrist in real time (the normal pressure range for the tightness of the restraint glove is set to 2.5-4.0 kPa (corresponding to 18.75-30 mmHg), which ensures effective restraint of the patient's grasping movements while avoiding excessive pressure that could affect blood circulation in the hand), and transmits the electrical signal to the control display screen 12. If the pressure value exceeds a preset safety threshold (the preset alarm threshold is 2.5 kPa), the display screen issues a warning, prompting medical staff to adjust the tightness of the wristband. Through pressure monitoring, the tightness of the restraint is quantified, avoiding problems of being too tight (impeding blood circulation) or too loose (restraint failure) due to experience-based operation. Moreover, dynamic monitoring of restraint safety is achieved, and abnormal pressure changes caused by patient swelling or agitation can be detected in a timely manner.

[0041] The present invention provides a restraint-type hospital gown with intelligent monitoring function, which further includes a blood oxygen detection sensor 14 clipped on the patient's finger and electrically connected to a control display screen 12.

[0042] The invention also includes an independent blood oxygen detection sensor 14, which employs a finger clip design and is attached to the fingertip of the patient. The blood oxygen detection sensor 14 is electrically connected to the control display screen 12 via wired or wireless means. During operation, the sensor emits light waves of a specific wavelength and receives reflected / transmitted signals, calculates the blood oxygen saturation value in real time, and transmits it to the display screen for display and reporting.

[0043] Therefore, incorporating blood oxygen monitoring alongside body temperature monitoring allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the patient's peripheral circulation and respiratory function. Furthermore, for patients with impaired consciousness or postoperative conditions, it enables early detection of hypoxemia risk and allows for timely intervention.

[0044] Of course, a power supply battery can also be installed on the glove to power the above-mentioned electrical components.

[0045] The front of the transparent spherical glove 31 (corresponding to the patient's fingertips) is detachably connected to a folding cover 312 via a second zipper 19. When needed, medical staff can unzip the second zipper 19, remove or flip open the folding cover 312, exposing the patient's fingertips. This allows for fingertip blood sampling, pulse oximeter clamping, nail trimming, or simple fingertip scratching activities by the patient. After the procedure, the zipper is closed again to re-close the folding cover. This provides a convenient access point without removing the entire glove, greatly facilitating routine clinical nursing procedures (such as blood glucose testing and dressing changes) and reducing the disturbance to the patient caused by repeatedly putting on and taking off gloves.

[0046] In another embodiment, the patient gown body 1 is provided with multiple buckles 15 for fixing commonly used medical catheters and multiple openings 16 for the medical catheters to pass through at corresponding positions. The openings 16 need to be edged to avoid the edges of the openings from scratching the patient's skin. The patient gown body 1 is provided with multiple storage pockets 17 for storing commonly used medical bags at corresponding positions.

[0047] Multiple openings 16 and multiple buckles 15 are pre-set at corresponding locations (such as the chest, upper arm, and thigh) on the patient gown body 1. Simultaneously, multiple placement pockets 17 are sewn at corresponding locations. In use, drainage tubes, PICC lines, infusion tubes, etc., are led out from the corresponding openings 16 and secured to the outside of the gown with the buckles 15. At the same time, connected medical bags such as infusion bags, drainage bags, or analgesic pumps are properly stored in the corresponding placement pockets 17. This achieves standardized and orderly fixation of the catheters, effectively preventing them from being pulled, kinked, or accidentally dislodged due to patient turning over or movement. The dedicated pockets free the patient's hands, avoiding the inconvenience of holding drainage bags, and improving the safety and convenience of early ambulation.
