Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ambulance-related equipment, specifically an ambulance patient information collection system. Background Technology

[0002] When ambulances are dispatched on emergency missions, they not only need to inquire about the patient's condition and medical history, but also need to take appropriate emergency measures based on the patient's condition, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and administration of emergency medications. When the emergency personnel transport the patient to the hospital emergency room, they need to prepare a form detailing the patient's condition, vital signs, emergency measures taken, and medication administration, and hand it over to the emergency room doctor. This allows the doctor to quickly grasp the patient's basic information and improves emergency response efficiency.

[0003] However, having emergency medical personnel manually write or type patient information when they are out in an ambulance not only increases their workload but also poses a risk of missing information. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art: to provide an ambulance patient information collection system that can automatically collect voice information and on-site video information of emergency personnel in the course of emergency rescue tasks, thereby saving the work of emergency personnel and reducing the chance of missing patient condition information.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide an ambulance patient information collection system, which includes a vehicle-mounted main unit placed inside the ambulance and a neck-mounted information collector that allows medical personnel to remove from the ambulance. The neck-mounted information collector is communicatively connected to the vehicle-mounted main unit.

[0006] The neckband-style information collector includes a U-shaped housing, inside which is a controller and a battery module for providing power. At the end of the housing is a camera and a voice acquisition module for collecting external voice information. The camera, voice acquisition module, and battery module are electrically connected to the controller.

[0007] The vehicle-mounted main unit includes

[0008] The information receiving module is connected to the controller in the neckband information collector and is used to receive the voice and image information collected by the neckband information collector.

[0009] The information processing module is used to convert the received voice information into electronic documents;

[0010] The information sending module is used to send electronic documents wirelessly.

[0011] A display screen used to display electronic documents.

[0012] The neck-mounted data collector can automatically collect voice and image information of medical personnel during the entire process of performing emergency rescue missions. After the medical personnel return to the ambulance, the onboard host can automatically convert the voice information into an electronic document. After the medical personnel confirm the content of the electronic document, the electronic document is sent out, so that the hospital emergency room can know the patient's condition in advance before the ambulance arrives and make preparations for emergency response measures as early as possible.

[0013] According to one example of this utility model, the neck-mounted information collector is wirelessly connected to the vehicle's main unit.

[0014] According to one example of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted host is provided with a mounting position for placing a neck-mounted information collector.

[0015] According to one example of the present invention, the neck-hanging information collector has an outgoing state worn by medical personnel and a reset state in the installation position. When the neck-hanging information collector is in the reset state, the vehicle host is electrically connected to the neck-hanging information collector via wireless charging. The neck-hanging information collector is configured to transmit the collected information to the vehicle host when in the reset state.

[0016] According to one example of this utility model, a plurality of air outlets are arranged on the upper surface of the housing, and an air duct communicating with the air outlets is provided inside the housing, as well as a fan assembly for driving the air in the air duct to flow towards the air outlets. Air blown out through the air outlets can be used to cool down the medical personnel wearing the device.

[0017] According to one example of this invention, the air outlet includes a first set of air outlets facing the area in front of the mouth and nose of the medical personnel wearing the device, and a second set of air outlets facing the neck and cheeks of the medical personnel. The air blown out through the two sets of air outlets not only has a cooling effect, but the air blown out by the first set of air outlets can also form an air wall in front of the mouth and nose of the medical personnel, reducing the risk of aerosol infection when directly facing patients.

[0018] According to one example of this invention, the housing is equipped with an external earphone, which is electrically connected to a controller inside the housing via an earphone cable. The earphone enables timely voice communication with other doctors in the hospital, allowing for remote guidance in the face of rare and complex cases.

[0019] According to one example of this utility model, the housing is equipped with a light, which is electrically connected to a controller inside the housing. The light enables the neckband-style data collector to be used as a lighting tool, replacing the function of a conventional flashlight.

[0020] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: First, the full voice information of medical personnel during emergency rescue missions can be collected, and after the medical personnel return to the ambulance, an electronic document of the voice information can be automatically generated on the display screen of the onboard host, saving the medical personnel the work of handwriting or typing. After the information is confirmed, it can be sent to the target hospital, so that the emergency room doctors of the target hospital can obtain accurate information about the patient's condition before the ambulance arrives, leaving valuable time for emergency preparation. Second, the fan assembly allows air to blow out from the vents, which can not only be used to cool down the medical personnel, but also form an air wall in front of the mouth and nose, reducing the risk of aerosol infection when facing the patient directly. Finally, the addition of headphones and a light allows the neck-mounted information collector to also conduct real-time voice communication with other doctors and be used for nighttime illumination.

[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] The ambulance patient information collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] When emergency medical personnel are dispatched on emergency missions, they often need to obtain patients' medical information to enable timely emergency measures. This information must be manually recorded by the personnel upon returning to the ambulance and then transferred to the emergency room doctor upon arrival at the hospital. Clearly, this recording and transmission of patient information is done manually by medical personnel. This not only increases their workload but also carries the risk of missing patient information. Furthermore, emergency room doctors can only learn about the patient's condition after the ambulance arrives, preventing them from making advance preparations and impacting the timeliness of emergency patient care.

[0031] Based on considerations of the aforementioned technical problems arising from the manual recording of patient information by emergency medical personnel, this utility model provides an ambulance patient information collection system, as shown in the figure. It includes a vehicle-mounted main unit 200 placed inside the ambulance 100 and a neck-mounted information collector 300 that allows medical personnel to remove from the ambulance 100. The neck-mounted information collector 300 is communicatively connected to the vehicle-mounted main unit 200.

[0032] The neckband-style information collector 300 includes a U-shaped housing 1 that matches the shape of an adult's neck. The housing 1 houses a controller 2 and a battery module 3 for providing power to the controller 2. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the end of the housing 1 is equipped with a camera 4 and a voice acquisition module 5 for collecting external voice information. The camera 4, voice acquisition module 5, and battery module 3 are electrically connected to the controller 2. In this embodiment, the external voice information includes the inquiry voice of emergency medical personnel and the response voice of the patient, family members, or other on-site rescuers. The camera 4 is positioned facing directly in front of the emergency medical personnel, so that the emergency personnel can record the entire rescue process and the emergency medications used during the rescue. The vehicle-mounted main unit 200 is installed inside the ambulance 100 and is wirelessly connected to the emergency room system of the target hospital, or the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 is wirelessly connected to the emergency room of the target hospital through the ambulance dispatch system of the emergency center dispatch room. Thus, the medical personnel on board can leave the ambulance 100 with the neck-mounted information collector 300 after the ambulance 100 arrives at the designated location. Upon arrival at the patient's location, they can obtain the patient's medical information through inquiry and other means. The medical information can be recorded by the neck-mounted information collector 300 throughout the process. The recorded voice information can be transmitted wirelessly to the vehicle host 200, or transmitted wirelessly or via wired communication when medical personnel bring the patient back to the ambulance 100. Finally, the voice information can be wirelessly transmitted by the vehicle host 200 to the emergency system of the target hospital's emergency room, so that the emergency room doctor can obtain the patient's condition information as soon as possible and make corresponding emergency preparations in advance.

[0033] In the above embodiment, since the neck-hook information collector 300 needs to be worn by medical personnel when they are out and about, the neck-hook information collector 300 and the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 are separate structures. The communication connection between the neck-hook information collector 300 and the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 can be a wireless communication connection or a wired communication connection. When the neck-hook information collector 300 and the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 are wirelessly connected, the neck-hook information collector 300 can transmit the collected voice information back to the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 in real time, or it can record and save the voice information in the neck-hook information collector 300 beforehand, and upload the voice information to the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 when the neck-hook information collector 300 returns to the ambulance 100. When the neck-mounted information collector 300 is connected to the vehicle-mounted host 200 via wired communication, the neck-mounted information collector 300 records and saves voice and image / video information while accompanying medical personnel on outings. After the neck-mounted information collector 300 returns to the ambulance 100 and establishes a wired communication connection with the vehicle-mounted host 200, it uploads the saved voice and image / video information to the vehicle-mounted host 200.

[0034] Based on the preferred embodiment described above, see [reference]. Figure 4As shown, the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 includes an information receiving module 8, an information processing module 9, an information sending module 10, and a display screen. The information receiving module 8 is communicatively connected to the controller 2 in the neck-mounted information collector 300 and is used to receive voice information and image / video information collected by the neck-mounted information collector 300; the information processing module 9 is used to convert the received voice information into electronic documents; the information sending module 10 is used to send the electronic documents wirelessly; and the display screen is used to display the electronic documents.

[0035] In this embodiment, the neckband-style information collector 300 is worn by medical personnel. Therefore, all voice information uttered by the medical personnel during patient contact can be acquired by the information receiving module 8 and transmitted to the information processing module 9. The information processing module 9 converts the audio information into an electronic document, which is then displayed on a screen. After the accompanying medical personnel confirm the information in the electronic document is correct, they can click the confirmation button on the screen to send the document. Doctors in the target hospital's emergency room can access this electronic document through the emergency system, thus gaining a basic understanding of the patient's condition before the ambulance 100 arrives, facilitating early emergency preparation.

[0036] Preferably, in addition to sending electronic documents, the information sending module 10 in the above embodiments can also send the original audio files collected by the information receiving module 8 and the image and video files captured by the camera 4, which are ultimately stored in the emergency center's server or the target hospital's emergency room system, so that emergency room doctors can retrieve the corresponding audio and video files for secondary confirmation. Specifically, the information receiving module 8 includes a first information receiving module 8.1 for receiving audio information and a second information receiving module 8.2 for receiving image and video information captured by the camera.

[0037] It should be understood that the information receiving module 8, information processing module 9, and information sending module 10 are very conventional electronic components in the prior art. The three are electrically connected to each other, so as to realize the collection, processing and wireless transmission of external information. This is the basic function of the above electronic components. Therefore, in this embodiment, the product models and communication protocols of the above modules will not be described in detail.

[0038] Based on the preferred embodiment described above, the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 is provided with a mounting position for placing the neck-hanging information collector 300. Specifically, the mounting position is a groove on the housing of the vehicle-mounted main unit 200 that matches the neck-hanging information collector 300, allowing the neck-hanging information collector 300 to be embedded in the groove. Alternatively, the mounting position is a hook on the housing of the vehicle-mounted main unit 200, allowing the neck-hanging information collector 300 to be hung on the hook.

[0039] The neck-hook information collector 300 has an outgoing state worn by medical personnel and a reset state in the mounting position. When the neck-hook information collector 300 is in the reset state, the vehicle-mounted host 200 is electrically connected to the neck-hook information collector 300 via wireless charging. The neck-hook information collector 300 is configured to transmit the collected information to the vehicle-mounted host 200 when in the reset state. In this embodiment, when the neck-hook information collector 300 is placed in the mounting position and switched to the reset state, it uploads all information from the entire outgoing period to the vehicle-mounted host 200. Specifically, the mounting position of the vehicle-mounted host 200 is provided with a terminal block, and the housing 1 of the neck-hook information collector 300 is provided with an electrical connector that matches the terminal block. When the neck-hook information collector 300 is placed in the mounting position, the terminal block and the electrical connector are electrically connected, thereby realizing a wired communication connection between the neck-hook information collector 300 and the vehicle-mounted host 200. Alternatively, when the neck-mounted information collector 300 is placed in the mounting position, the neck-mounted information collector 300 and the vehicle host 200 can wirelessly communicate to upload the collected relevant information to the vehicle host 200.

[0040] Upon arrival at the patient's location, emergency medical personnel, in addition to inquiring about the patient's condition, need to implement on-site emergency measures based on the specific circumstances, such as oxygen administration, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), intubation, and the administration of emergency medications. Therefore, the implementation of these on-site emergency measures needs to be communicated to the attending emergency room doctor. Although the above embodiment can record the entire emergency measures and medication administration process using camera 4, automatically capturing key information from the video and generating a text document is currently quite complex. Therefore, in this technical solution, the video captured by camera 4 is primarily intended to facilitate emergency room doctors obtaining relevant information when a detailed understanding of the situation is required. While emergency personnel are performing emergency measures or administering emergency medications on-site, they can verbally recount the process, such as the emergency personnel describing "one oxygen administration," "what condition the patient has and what procedure to perform," or "how many grams of a certain medication to administer," etc.

[0041] It should be understood that with the development of artificial intelligence and image recognition technology, if there is a technology that can automatically acquire information of interest based on video images and then automatically generate electronic documents, then the application of this technology in the technical solution of this embodiment should also fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.

[0042] Based on the diverse functional requirements of the neckband-style information collector 300 in the above embodiments, the improvement of the neckband-style information collector 300 in this embodiment is as follows: See Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the upper surface of the housing 1 is provided with several air outlets, and the outer wall at the middle position of the housing 1 has an air inlet. The housing 1 is provided with air ducts that communicate with the air outlets and the air inlet respectively, and a fan assembly for driving the air in the air ducts to flow towards the air outlets. Figure 2 and Figure 3 (Not shown in the image). The fan assembly is a conventional component of existing neck-mounted fans, which draws air into the air duct from the air inlet and then ejects the air from the air outlet, thereby cooling emergency medical personnel. This is especially useful for cooling medical personnel when performing emergency rescue missions outdoors in summer. In this embodiment, the fan assembly is electrically connected to the controller 2 inside the housing 1, and a switch button can be provided on the outer wall of the housing 1 to control the start and stop of the fan assembly.

[0043] Preferably, the air outlet includes a first set of air outlets 6 and a second set of air outlets 7. The first set of air outlets 6 is configured to face the area in front of the mouth and nose of the medical personnel when the neck-mounted information collector 300 is worn around their neck. This forms an air wall in front of the medical personnel's mouth and nose, reducing the risk of aerosol contamination from the patient's exhalation or spray when directly facing the patient. It should be understood that even if the medical personnel wear a mask, they still cannot achieve absolute aerosol protection. In this embodiment, the air wall can effectively reduce the aerosol exhaled by the patient when directly facing them, and together with the mask they are wearing, it can greatly improve the protective effect. The first set of air outlets 6 is also configured to face the neck and cheeks of the medical personnel when the neck-mounted information collector 300 is worn around their neck, for cooling the neck and cheeks of the medical personnel. Furthermore, the air duct contains a filter.

[0044] Based on the preferred embodiment described above, the housing 1 is provided with an external earphone ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 (Not shown in the image) The earphone is electrically connected to the controller 2 inside the housing 1 via an earphone cable. In this embodiment, the controller 2 can communicate with the vehicle-mounted host 200, and then establish a communication connection with the target hospital through the vehicle-mounted host 200. Finally, the earphone can communicate in real time with other doctors in the target hospital, and can obtain guidance from senior doctors in the corresponding specialty when facing difficult cases. Alternatively, the earphone can communicate with the mobile phone of emergency medical personnel via Bluetooth. In this embodiment, using a wireless network to establish a communication connection for real-time voice communication is a conventional technical means in the field of communication. Therefore, the communication connection established between the earphone, controller 2, vehicle-mounted host 200 and the communication equipment of the remote target hospital is a simple and conventional technology, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0045] Based on the diverse functional requirements of the neckband-style information collector 300 in the above embodiments, a light is provided on the housing 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 (Not shown in the image) The light is electrically connected to the controller 2 inside the housing 1. The light allows medical personnel to use it for illumination when performing emergency rescue missions at night, eliminating the need to carry an extra flashlight. The light is electrically connected to the controller 2 inside the housing 1, and a switch button can be installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 to control the light's on / off state.
