[0055] The present invention will be further described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are numbered with associated similar elements. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are provided to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that some of the features may be omitted in different circumstances, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid the core portion of the present application being overwhelmed by excessive descriptions, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail. They will fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0056] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Furthermore, the steps or actions in the method description may be reordered or adjusted in a manner readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are provided solely for the purpose of clearly describing a particular embodiment and are not intended to be mandatory, unless otherwise specified.

[0057] Component numbers used herein, such as "first" and "second," are used solely to distinguish the components being described and do not convey any sequential or technical meaning. References to "connection" and "coupling" herein, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0058] By placing a monitoring assistance device between the sensor and the monitor, this invention aggregates the cables of each sensor, streamlining the layout and length of cables on the bed. This improves the convenience of monitoring patients in bed, during movement, and during transfer, while reducing the complexity of nurse operations. This is explained in detail below through some examples.

[0059] Example 1:

[0060] The present invention adds a monitoring auxiliary device and a carrying device 40 to the traditional monitoring system. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a monitoring system includes multiple types of sensors 10, a monitoring auxiliary device 20, a carrying device 40 and a monitor 30.

[0061] The sensor 10 is used to detect the patient's physiological parameter signals. Among the multiple types of sensors 10 in the monitoring system, different types of sensors 10 are used to detect different physiological parameter signals. For example, these different physiological parameter signals include: blood oxygen signals, electrocardiogram signals, body temperature signals, respiratory signals and blood pressure signals. The multiple types of sensors 10 may include multiple types of temperature sensors, leads, blood oxygen sensors, pressure sensors and respiratory rate sensors. For example, a temperature sensor is included to detect the patient's body temperature signal; for example, a lead is included to detect the patient's electrocardiogram signal; for example, a blood oxygen sensor is included to detect the patient's blood oxygen signal to obtain blood oxygen saturation data; for example, a pressure sensor is included to detect the patient's blood pressure signal; for example, a respiratory rate sensor is included to detect the patient's respiratory rate, etc.

[0062] In this embodiment, the monitoring system includes multiple different sensors, one of which is a pressure sensor for detecting blood pressure signals. The monitoring assistance device 20 also includes an air pump. The air pump can be built into the housing of the monitoring assistance device 20 and is used to pressurize the cuff so that the pressure sensor can detect the blood pressure signal, thereby performing non-invasive blood pressure testing. The air pump is connected to the cuff via an air tube. Placing the air pump within the monitoring assistance device 20 shortens the air tube and facilitates storage.

[0063] The monitoring assistance device 20 is connected to multiple types of sensors 10 by wires, that is, multiple different sensors by wires, to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10. In other words, the multiple physiological parameter signals of the patient collected by the multiple sensors 10 are aggregated into the monitoring assistance device 20 through cables.

[0064] The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is adapted to the carrying device 40. The carrying device 40 is detachably mounted on the hospital bed and is used to place the monitoring auxiliary device 20 so as to place the monitoring auxiliary device on the hospital bed. As shown in FIG5 , the carrying device 40 includes a fixing portion 410 and a mounting portion 420. The fixing portion 410 is used to be detachably mounted on the hospital bed. For example, the fixing portion 410 is a hook structure that can be hung on the guardrail of the hospital bed and is also convenient to remove. Another example is that the fixing portion 410 is a clamping structure that can be clamped on the guardrail of the hospital bed and is convenient to assemble and disassemble. Another example is that the fixing portion 410 includes both a hook structure and a clamping structure, which is hung on the guardrail through the hook structure and clamped through the clamping structure, so that it can adapt to guardrails of different thicknesses. The mounting portion 420 is used to place the monitoring auxiliary device 20, which may include a accommodating groove that can stably accommodate the monitoring auxiliary device 20.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 4 , in one embodiment, the monitoring assistance device 20 includes a battery module 210 , a first interface 220 , a second interface 230 , a wireless communication module 240 and a processor 250 .

[0066] The first interface 220 is used to connect to the sensor 10 by wire and obtain the physiological parameter signal detected by the sensor 10. For example, the monitoring assistance device 20 has a first interface 220, and this first interface 220 can be connected to multiple different types of sensors 10 through cables. For another example, the monitoring assistance device 20 has multiple first interfaces 220, and each first interface 220 is connected to a type of sensor 10 through a cable. The number and type of the first interfaces 220 of the monitoring assistance device 20 can meet the connection requirements of all sensors of the monitor; of course, some first interfaces 220 can be connected to one sensor 10 through a cable, and some first interfaces 220 can be connected to multiple sensors 10 through cables. In short, the monitoring assistance device 20 can be connected to multiple different types of sensors 10 by wire through one or more first interfaces 220.

[0067] It is worth noting that in this solution, the "interface merging" method can be used to manufacture the first interface, that is, the interfaces corresponding to multiple types of sensors are merged, that is, one first interface can receive parameters transmitted by more than one type of sensor, such as blood oxygen and electrocardiogram sensors are connected to the same first interface. Ultimately, in this solution, the number of first interfaces may be less than the number of sensor types.

[0068] The second interface 230 is used for wired output of monitoring-related information, for example, it is connected to the monitor 30 via a cable and outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 in a wired manner; it can also be used to obtain electrical energy from an external power supply for use by the monitoring auxiliary device 20. It can be seen that in some embodiments, the same second interface 230 can have two different functions, that is, it can simultaneously realize data transmission and electrical energy acquisition. Of course, in other embodiments, there can be two types of second interfaces 230, one second interface 230 is used for wired output of monitoring-related information; the other second interface 230 is used to obtain electrical energy from an external power supply for use by the monitoring auxiliary device 20, that is, in this case, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 uses different interfaces for wired data transmission and electrical energy acquisition. The monitoring-related information includes: physiological parameter signals detected by the sensor 10, and / or physiological parameter data obtained based on physiological parameter signal processing.

[0069] The wireless communication module 240 is used to wirelessly output monitoring-related information. For example, the wireless communication module 240 may be a WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Service) module, a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, or the like. The wireless communication module 240 can be pre-wired with the monitor 30 to subsequently wirelessly output monitoring-related information to the monitor 30.

[0070] The battery module 210 is used to power the monitoring auxiliary device 20 when there is no external power supply. The battery module 210 may include a rechargeable battery, or a battery compartment, etc.

[0071] The processor 250 is used to control the monitoring assistance device 20 to implement various functions of the monitoring assistance device 20. For example, the processor 250 can output the physiological parameter signal detected by the sensor 10 through the second interface 230 and / or the wireless communication module 240. The processor 250 can also process the physiological parameter signal detected by the sensor 10 to obtain physiological parameter data, such as processing the blood oxygen signal to obtain blood oxygen saturation and processing the electrocardiogram signal to obtain an electrocardiogram waveform, and then output the physiological parameter data through the second interface 230 and / or the wireless communication module 240.

[0072] When the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is placed on the carrying device 40, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 obtains power through the carrying device 40. There are many specific ways to obtain power, and two examples are given below for illustration.

[0073] One way to obtain power is wireless power. The monitoring auxiliary device 20 also includes a wireless charging receiving module. The wireless charging receiving module is used to wirelessly receive power from external devices. For example, it includes a wireless charging receiving coil that can receive power from an adapted wireless charging transmitting coil.

[0074] Correspondingly, as shown in FIG6 , the carrier device 40 may further include a wireless power supply module 430. The wireless power supply module 430 is adapted to the wireless charging receiving module and is used to wirelessly power the monitoring assistance device 20. For example, the wireless power supply module 430 includes a wireless charging transmitting coil that can wirelessly transmit electrical energy to the wireless charging receiving coil of the monitoring assistance device 20.

[0075] Thus, the monitoring assistance device 20 draws power from the carrier device 40 through its wireless charging receiving module for use by the monitoring assistance device 20. When the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40, the position of the wireless power supply module 430 corresponds to the position of the wireless charging receiving module, so that the carrier device 40 can efficiently wirelessly charge the monitoring assistance device 20. The electric energy received by the wireless charging receiving module can be supplied to the various functional modules of the monitoring assistance device 20, and can also be used to charge the battery in the battery module 210. It can be seen that the monitoring assistance device 20 can be wirelessly charged by placing it in the carrier device 40, which is very convenient. In addition, the wireless charging method eliminates the need for cables and interfaces, will not harbor dirt, and is easy to clean and disinfect.

[0076] Another way to draw power is wired power. The monitoring assistance device 20 can be connected to the carrier device 40 through the second interface 230, and draw power from the carrier device 40 through the second interface 230 for use by the monitoring assistance device 20. That is, the carrier device 40 supplies power to the monitoring assistance device 20 in a wired manner. For example, as shown in Figure 6, the carrier device 40 includes a wired power supply module 440. One end of the wired power supply module 440 is used to be connected to the monitor 30 by a cable and draw power from the monitor 30. The other end of the wired power supply module 440 is used to be electrically connected to the monitoring assistance device 20. In this embodiment, the other end of the wired power supply module 440 is specifically electrically connected to the second interface 230. The wired power supply module 440 is used to supply power from the monitor 30 to the monitoring assistance device 20. For example, the wired power supply module 440 may primarily consist of an interface and a transmission line, serving as a circuit bridge between the second interface 230 and the monitor 30, allowing the voltage and current output from the monitor 30 to be transmitted to the second interface 230 through the wired power supply module 440. For another example, the wired power supply module 440 may process the voltage and current output from the monitor 30 before outputting it to the second interface 230. The processing may include one or more of voltage reduction, voltage boosting, filtering, current limiting, and energy storage. This embodiment will be described using the former as an example. As shown in FIG6 , the wired power supply module 440 includes a third interface 441, which is compatible with the second interface 230. The rear end of the third interface 441 is wiredly connected to the monitor 30 via a cable, and the front end of the third interface 441 is configured to connect (e.g., dock) with the second interface 230. The second interface 230 and the third interface 441 can adopt various types of known interfaces, such as pluggable interfaces, contact interfaces, etc., so that the two interfaces can be directly connected and disconnected in a pluggable manner. In this embodiment, both use a Pogopin interface (spring interface), which is easy to clean and disinfect during long-term use, and is also easy to connect and disconnect. Furthermore, the Pogopin interface also has a magnet, which realizes the positioning and connection of the second interface 230 and the third interface 441 by magnetic attraction. That is, in this embodiment, the second interface 230 and the third interface 441 use a magnetic contact interface, so that when the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is placed in the carrier device 40, the second interface 230 is magnetically docked with the third interface 441, which is very convenient to operate. Of course, in some embodiments, the second interface 230 and the third interface 441 can also be connected by a cable. The two interfaces can use the same type of interface or different types of interfaces, and electrical connection can also be achieved through an adapter cable.

[0077] In this embodiment, wired power supply is implemented as follows: when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface 441, the second interface 230 draws power from the monitor 30 via a circuit formed by connecting the third interface 441 and the cable L. Specifically, for the monitoring assistance device 20, or the processor, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface 441, power is drawn from the monitor 30 via a power supply circuit formed by connecting the second interface 230, the third interface 441, and the cable L (the cable between the third interface 441 and the monitor 30) to supply power to the monitoring assistance device 20. The voltage and current provided by the monitor 30 only pass through the carrier device 40, meaning that the carrier device 40 acts only as a conductor. Therefore, the carrier device 40 can be structurally simple and easy to implement.

[0078] Of course, in some embodiments, the above two power supply methods can coexist, that is, the monitoring assistance device 20 can obtain power from the carrier device 40 both wirelessly and by wire. Even if the connection between the second interface 230 and the carrier device 40 is loose, it will not affect the power supply of the monitoring assistance device 20.

[0079] When the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40, the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring assistance device 20 is transmitted to the monitor 30 via the carrier device 40 via a wired connection. The monitoring-related information can also be output to the monitor 30 wirelessly. The monitoring-related information may include: the aforementioned physiological parameter signals and / or the aforementioned physiological parameter data. In other words, the physiological parameter signals detected by each sensor are either transmitted to the monitor 30 by the monitoring assistance device 20 or processed into physiological parameter data and then transmitted to the monitor 30 by the monitoring assistance device 20. The physiological parameter signals that need to be processed into physiological parameter data and those that do not can be pre-configured.

[0080] Specifically, if the monitoring assistance device 20 draws power from the carrier device 40 in the wireless manner described above, the processor 250 can sense the presence of the wireless power supply module 430 through the wireless charging receiving module, thereby determining that the monitoring assistance device 20 has been placed in the carrier device 40, and then output monitoring-related information via wired and / or wireless means. If the monitoring assistance device 20 draws power from the carrier device 40 in the wired manner described above, the processor 250 can detect through the second interface 230 that the second interface 230 is connected to the carrier device 40 (specifically, connected to the third interface 441), thereby determining that the monitoring assistance device 20 has been placed in the carrier device 40, and then output monitoring-related information via wired and / or wireless means.

[0081] The monitoring assistance device 20 outputs monitoring-related information via a wired connection. For example, the processor 250 may output monitoring-related information via the second interface 230, and the monitoring-related information may be transmitted to the monitor 30 via the carrier device 40. The monitoring-related information may be transmitted to the monitor 30 via a wired connection of the carrier device 40. For example, the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring assistance device 20 may be transmitted to the monitor 30 via a wired connection of the carrier device 40. For example, the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring assistance device 20 may be transmitted to the monitor 30 via a wired power supply module 440 and a cable L. Of course, the second interface of the monitoring assistance device 20 may also be directly connected to a cable, and the monitoring-related information may be directly transmitted to the monitor via the cable without the intervention of the carrier device 40. Furthermore, the transmission of power and monitoring-related information between the monitoring assistance device 20 and the monitor 30 shares the same connection, which is not only simple and easy to manage, but also easy to connect and disconnect. Existing remote monitoring typically involves a wearable terminal worn on the human body to monitor physiological parameters and then wirelessly transmit the physiological parameters to the monitor. The wearable terminal typically needs to be removed for charging, and during charging, it cannot continue to detect physiological parameters because it is not worn on the human body. Unlike wearable terminals, the monitoring assistance device 20 of the present invention can not only acquire physiological parameter signals while charging, achieving uninterrupted operation, but also, after the cables of multiple sensors are integrated into the monitoring assistance device 20, power and monitoring-related information can be transmitted through the same line, simplifying the wiring and making it very convenient for medical staff to manage and maintain the cables on the bed. In this embodiment, specifically, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface 441, the monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 is transmitted to the monitor 30 via the circuit formed by the third interface 441 and the cable. That is, for the monitoring assistance device 20 or the processor, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface 441, the monitoring-related information is transmitted to the monitor 30 via the power supply circuit. In this case, the carrier device 40 can only serve as a transmission channel for power and monitoring-related information. Of course, in other embodiments, the carrier device 40 can also transmit the monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 to the monitor 30 via wireless means.

[0082] The monitoring assistance device 20 outputs monitoring-related information wirelessly. For example, the processor 250 may output the monitoring-related information via the wireless communication module 240. The monitoring-related information may be transmitted to the monitor 30 after passing through the carrier device 40, or may be transmitted directly to the monitor 30. This embodiment uses the latter as an example. The monitoring-related information may be transmitted to the monitor 30 after passing through the carrier device 40. This may be done by wirelessly connecting the wireless communication module of the monitoring assistance device 20 to the wireless communication module of the carrier device 40, whereupon the wireless communication module of the monitoring assistance device 20 wirelessly transmits the monitoring-related information to the carrier device 40, so that the carrier device 40 transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. For example, the carrier device 40 may transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 wirelessly via its wireless communication module, or may transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via a cable.

[0083] To improve the reliability of the transmission of monitoring-related information to the monitor 30, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40, the monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 is transmitted to the monitor 30 via the carrier 40, while the wireless communication module 240 of the monitoring assistance device 20 can simultaneously transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. For example, after the processor 250 determines that the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40, it outputs the monitoring-related information via a wired connection via the second interface 230 and simultaneously outputs the monitoring-related information wirelessly via the wireless communication module 240.

[0084] As can be seen from the above, the monitoring assistance device 20 primarily aggregates the physiological parameter signals collected by the various sensors and outputs them to the monitor 30. It may not itself calculate or display the monitoring signals, and therefore may not have a display screen. Patient monitoring based on the monitoring-related information is performed by the monitor 30.

[0085] After receiving the monitoring-related information, the monitor 30 can directly display it, or process the physiological parameter signal into physiological parameter data and then display it. It can also process at least part of the received monitoring-related information to obtain a monitoring result. This embodiment is explained by taking the example of processing all the received monitoring-related information to obtain a monitoring result. The monitoring result can include the result of whether the physiological parameter exceeds the preset range, and can also include a prompt message or alarm message corresponding to this result. For example, the monitor 30 determines whether the physiological parameter exceeds the preset range based on the physiological parameter signal or the physiological parameter data. If so, it means that the physiological parameter is abnormal, generates a corresponding prompt message or alarm message, and displays the prompt message or alarm message. The monitor 30 uses conventional means to monitor based on the data collected by various sensors, which will not be described in detail here.

[0086] Monitor 30 can receive monitoring-related information both wired and wirelessly. It can primarily use the monitoring-related information received via the wired method for monitoring purposes. If the wired method fails to receive monitoring-related information, it can use the monitoring-related information received wirelessly for monitoring purposes. Alternatively, whichever method receives monitoring-related information first will be used for monitoring purposes. Monitor 30 can be a bedside monitor, a central monitoring station, or any other conventional monitor, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0087] When the monitoring assistance device 20 is separated from the carrier device 40 and does not output monitoring-related information via a wired connection, for example, when the second interface is neither wiredly connected to the carrier device 40 nor to the monitor 30, the monitoring assistance device 20 outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 wirelessly. Specifically, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is separated from the carrier device 40 and the processor 250 does not output monitoring-related information via the second interface 230, the monitoring-related information is directly transmitted to the monitor 30 via the wireless communication module 240. For example, if the processor 250 does not sense the presence of the wireless power supply module 430 via the wireless charging receiving module, the monitoring assistance device 20 is determined to be separated from the carrier device 40. For another example, if the processor 250 does not detect that the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface 441 of the carrier device 40 via the second interface 230, the monitoring assistance device 20 is determined to be separated from the carrier device 40. If the monitoring assistance device 20 is separated from the carrier 40, for example, it has never been placed in the carrier 40, or it was previously placed in the carrier 40 and then removed from the carrier 40, in this case, if the second interface 230 is not electrically connected to the monitor 30 (e.g., wired), for example, the second interface 230 is not connected to the third interface 441, and the second interface 230 is not wired to the monitor 30 via a cable, then the processor 250 can only transmit monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via the wireless communication module 240. When a patient's condition improves and they need to get out of bed and move around, using existing monitoring systems requires disconnecting the cables between the sensor and the monitor, and then reconnecting all cables after the patient has finished moving around. This is very cumbersome and prevents comprehensive monitoring during the patient's movement. However, using the monitoring system provided by the present invention, as shown in FIG8 , the monitoring assistance device 20 can be simply removed from the carrier 40 and carried by the patient, without even having to plug or unplug cables, making it very convenient and allowing for comprehensive monitoring during movement. When the patient returns to the bed, they only need to place the monitoring assistance device 20 back into the carrier 40 to establish a wired connection with the monitor 30, which is very convenient. If the patient needs to be transferred, as shown in Figure 9, the monitoring assistance device 20 can be disconnected from the bedside monitor. A small monitor (such as a transfer monitor) can be placed at the bedside, and the small monitor can be wirelessly paired with the monitoring assistance device 20. The monitoring assistance device 20 then wirelessly transmits monitoring-related data to the small monitor in the above manner. The monitoring-related data and corresponding monitoring results are displayed on the display interface of the small monitor, enabling the small monitor to monitor the patient. This makes the operation of changing monitors and transferring patients convenient and quick. Of course, the bedside monitor can also be placed directly on the bed for transfer. Because the cables of the monitoring system of the present invention are neatly arranged, nurses do not need to disassemble them.

[0088] Of course, if the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is placed in the carrying device 40, but the second interface 230 is not electrically connected to the monitor 30, for example, the second interface 230 is not connected to the third interface 441, and the second interface 230 is not wired to the monitor 30 via a cable, then the processor 250 can only transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 through the wireless communication module 240.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 , regardless of whether the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed in the carrier device 40, the monitoring assistance device 20 can be directly electrically connected to the monitor 30, thereby drawing power from the monitor 30 and transmitting monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. Specifically, when the second interface 230 is directly connected to the monitor 30 via a cable, the processor 250 outputs monitoring-related information through the second interface 230, which is then transmitted to the monitor 30 via the cable. The processor 250 also draws power from the monitor 30 via the power circuit formed by the second interface 230 and the cable for use by the monitoring assistance device 20. To ensure safe and stable monitoring, the processor 250 not only outputs monitoring-related information through the second interface 230 but also transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via the wireless communication module 240. The monitoring assistance device 20 can be used without a carrier device and directly connected to the monitor 30 via a cable. In this case, when the patient gets out of bed, not only does the monitoring assistance device 20 need to be removed from the carrier device, but the cable between the monitoring assistance device 20 and the monitor 30 also needs to be disconnected, which adds the additional cable disconnection step compared to the previous embodiment. When the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is not placed in the carrying device 40 and is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire, it is powered by the battery module 210 and transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 through the wireless communication module 240 .

[0090] The wireless communication module 240 can be a single wireless communication module, or it can include more than one wireless communication module, for example, two wireless communication modules. This embodiment will be described using the latter as an example. The wireless communication module 240 includes: a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module. The first wireless communication module is used to wirelessly output monitoring-related information, and the second wireless communication module is also used to wirelessly output monitoring-related information. The first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module use different wireless communication methods. The different wireless communication methods can be that the two wireless communication modules use different communication technologies to communicate, that is, the two wireless communication modules use different communication protocols, or they can use the same communication technology but use different frequency bands for sending data or different frequencies for sending packets.

[0091] The processor 250 mentioned above transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via the wireless communication module 240 in a variety of ways, two of which are described below.

[0092] In one wireless transmission mode, the processor 250 transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module. Both wireless communication modules can simultaneously transmit monitoring-related information to the monitor 30, and even if one wireless communication module fails to transmit properly, monitoring will not be affected.

[0093] Using this wireless transmission method, combined with the aforementioned connection between the second interface 230 and the monitor 30, in one embodiment, when the second interface 230 is wiredly connected to the monitor 30 (e.g., directly to the monitor 30 or via the carrier 40), the second interface 230 outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via a wired connection, and / or the first wireless communication module and / or the second wireless communication module transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. Generally, from a reliability perspective, when the second interface 230 is wiredly connected to the monitor 30, at least the second interface 230 outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via a wired connection, and one wireless communication module simultaneously transmits monitoring-related information, or one wireless communication module maintains a wireless connection with the monitor. This helps minimize data loss after the wired connection is disconnected. Understandably, since the primary application scenario of the monitoring assistance device in this solution is in the ICU, the continuity of monitoring-related information transmission is extremely important. Any loss of even a few seconds can pose a significant risk to patient monitoring. Therefore, if the wired connection is simply disconnected and then switched to wireless transmission, this switching process will take some time, which has a significant impact in the ICU scenario. Therefore, this solution can choose to maintain wireless communication transmission or maintain wireless communication connection while wired transmission. When the second interface 230 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module simultaneously transmit monitoring-related information to the monitor 30.

[0094] In another wireless transmission method, when preset conditions are met, the processor 250 transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via the first wireless communication module. When the preset conditions are not met, the processor 250 transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via the second wireless communication module. Alternatively, when the preset conditions are not met, the processor 250 transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via both the first and second wireless communication modules. The preset conditions include: a reliable wireless communication connection between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30; and / or the monitoring support device 20 is within a preset range. Specifically, if the wireless communication connection between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30 is unreliable, the processor 250 can switch to the second wireless communication module for monitoring-related transmission (after which the first wireless communication module is turned off), or directly activate the second wireless communication module for monitoring-related transmission (while the first wireless communication module remains on). If the monitoring support device 20 is outside the preset range, such as far from the patient's bed, the processor 250 can switch to the second wireless communication module for monitoring-related transmission, or directly activate the second wireless communication module for monitoring-related transmission. This approach similarly ensures the reliability of wireless transmission of monitoring-related information. The processor 250 can determine whether the wireless communication connection between the two is reliable by the wireless signal strength between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30, or by the interaction between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30. For example, if the first wireless communication module transmits data to the monitor 30 once and does not receive a reply signal from the monitor 30, it is determined that the wireless communication connection between the two is unreliable. The packet loss rate between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30 can also be used to determine whether the wireless communication connection between the two is reliable. Of course, these methods for determining whether the wireless communication connection is reliable can also be executed by the monitor and the judgment result can be fed back to the processor 250.

[0095] Using this wireless transmission method, combined with the connection between the aforementioned second interface 230 and the monitor 30, in one embodiment, when the second interface 230 is connected to the monitor 30 by wire, the second interface 230 outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via a wired manner, and / or the first wireless communication module and / or the second wireless communication module transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30.

[0096] When the second interface 230 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire and a preset condition is met, the processor 250 transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 through the first wireless communication module.

[0097] When the second interface 230 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire and does not meet the preset conditions, the processor 250 can transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 through the second wireless communication module, or can simultaneously transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first wireless communication module transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 by using WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Service) technology for point-to-point wireless transmission of monitoring-related information with the monitor 30, ensuring the security and reliability of data transmission. The second wireless communication module uses a Bluetooth module.

[0099] As can be seen from the above, the present invention adds a monitoring auxiliary device and a carrying device 40 to the traditional monitoring system, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The monitoring auxiliary device 20 can help nurses better manage the cables on the bed and facilitate patients to get out of bed and move around. The monitoring-related information is collected through it. The process can be shown in Figure 3 and includes the following steps:

[0100] Step 1: The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is connected to the multiple types of sensors 10 by wires to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0101] Step 2: When the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40, the monitoring assistance device 20 receives power from the carrier 40. When the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40, the monitoring-related information output from the second interface of the monitoring assistance device 20 is transmitted to the monitor via the carrier 40. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and is not repeated here.

[0102] Step 3: When the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is separated from the carrier 40 and does not output monitoring-related information via wired mode, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 outputs monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via wireless mode. The specific process is as described in the above embodiment and will not be described here in detail.

[0103] The method shown in FIG3 is explained from the positional relationship between the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and the carrying device 40 , and can also be explained from the connection relationship between the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and the monitor 30 , as shown in FIG10 and FIG11 , which are introduced below.

[0104] As shown in FIG10 , based on the monitoring system provided in the above embodiment, the method for collecting monitoring-related information includes the following steps:

[0105] Step 1': The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is connected to the multiple types of sensors 10 by wires to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10. The specific process is the same as the above step 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0106] Step 2': When the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is connected to the monitor 30 by wire, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 outputs the monitoring related information to the monitor 30 by wire. The specific process is as described in the above embodiment and will not be described here in detail.

[0107] In step 3', when the monitoring assistance device 20 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire, it determines whether the preset conditions are met. If so, step 4' is executed; otherwise, step 5' is executed. The preset conditions may include: the wireless communication connection between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30 is reliable, and / or the monitoring assistance device 20 is located within a preset range.

[0108] Step 4': When the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire and meets the preset conditions, the first wireless communication module transmits the monitoring related information to the monitor 30. In this case, the second wireless communication module may not be activated. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0109] In step 5', when the monitoring assistance device 20 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire and the preset conditions are not met, the first wireless communication module stops transmitting monitoring-related information and switches to the second wireless communication module to transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor, or the first and second wireless communication modules simultaneously transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and is not further described here.

[0110] In the embodiment shown in FIG11 , the monitoring system provided in the above embodiment includes the following steps for collecting monitoring-related information:

[0111] In step 1″, the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is connected to the multiple sensors 10 by wires to obtain the physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10. The specific process is the same as step 1 above and will not be repeated here.

[0112] In step 2″, when the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is connected to the monitor 30 by wire, the monitoring-related information is output to the monitor 30 by wire. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0113] In step 3″, when the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is not connected to the monitor 30 by wire, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module simultaneously transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0114] Example 2:

[0115] The monitoring assistance device 20 described above can be simplified appropriately. In this embodiment, the monitoring assistance device 20 may not include the wireless communication module 240 . That is, the monitoring assistance device 20 includes a first interface 220 , a second interface 230 , and a processor 250 .

[0116] The first interface 220 is used to connect to multiple types of sensors 10 via wires to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by each sensor 10. The details are shown in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0117] The second interface 230 can be used to obtain power from an external power source. For example, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40, the second interface 230 draws power from the carrier 40. Specifically, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface of the carrier 40, the power supply circuit formed by connecting the second interface 230, the third interface 441, and the cable L draws power from the monitor 30 for use by the monitoring assistance device 20. The specific details are the same as those in the above embodiment and are not repeated here.

[0118] The second interface 230 can also be used for wired output of monitoring-related information. For example, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40, the monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 is transmitted to the monitor via the carrier 40. For example, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface 441, the monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 is transmitted to the monitor 30 via the power circuit. The specific details are the same as those in the above embodiment and are not further elaborated here.

[0119] When the monitoring assistance device 20 is not placed on the carrying device 40 and is electrically connected to the monitor 30 via a cable, the second interface 230 can draw power from the monitor 30, and monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 can also be transmitted to the monitor 30 via the cable. In other words, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is used without the carrying device 40, the specific details are the same as those in the above embodiment and are not further described here.

[0120] The monitoring assistance device 20 of this embodiment may also not include the battery module 210. As described above, the monitoring assistance device 20 can draw power from a wired monitor 30 or wirelessly from the carrier device 40 via its own wireless charging receiving module. Aside from not including the wireless communication module 240 and the battery module 210, the monitoring assistance device 20 is otherwise identical to the above embodiment and will not be further described here.

[0121] Example 3:

[0122] In addition to the first interface 220, second interface 230, and processor 250 of the first embodiment, the monitoring assistance device 20 of this embodiment further includes one or more wireless communication modules. The functions of the first interface 220, second interface 230, and wireless communication modules have been described in detail in the previous embodiment and are not further described here.

[0123] The processor 250 can be configured to output monitoring-related information to the monitor 30 via a wired connection between the second interface 230 and the monitor 30. Furthermore, while the second interface 230 is transmitting monitoring-related information via a wired connection, at least one wireless communication module can also transmit monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. The second interface 230 can be connected to the monitor 30 via a wired connection, as described in the aforementioned embodiment, via a third interface and a cable, or directly via a cable. For details, see the aforementioned embodiment and are not further described here. The monitoring assistance device 20 transmits monitoring-related information to the monitor simultaneously via both wired and wireless methods, ensuring the reliable transmission of monitoring-related information.

[0124] The one or more wireless communication modules included in the monitoring assistance device 20 can be two wireless communication modules or more than two wireless communication modules. This embodiment uses the former as an example, and includes: a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module. The functions of the first and second wireless communication modules have been described in detail in the previous embodiments and are not further described here.

[0125] While the processor 250 transmits the monitoring-related information to the second interface 230 via a wired manner, at least one wireless communication module transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor 30. Specifically, the following methods can be used:

[0126] The processor 250 determines whether the communication quality of the first wireless communication module (e.g., the quality of wireless communication with the monitor) meets preset requirements. For example, the processor 250 determines whether the wireless communication connection between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30 is reliable. If so, the communication quality is determined to meet the preset requirements; if not, the communication quality is determined to not meet the preset requirements. Specifically, the processor 250 may determine whether the communication quality meets the preset requirements based on the wireless signal strength between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30. If the wireless signal strength is above a preset first threshold, the communication quality is determined to meet the preset requirements; if it is below the first threshold, the communication quality is determined to not meet the preset requirements. The processor 250 may also determine whether the communication quality meets the preset requirements based on the interaction between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30. For example, if the first wireless communication module does not receive a response signal from the monitor 30 after transmitting data to the monitor 30, the communication quality is determined to not meet the preset requirements; if a response signal is received, the communication quality is determined to meet the preset requirements. The processor 250 can also determine whether the communication quality meets the preset requirements through the packet loss rate between the first wireless communication module and the monitor 30. If the packet loss rate is lower than the preset second threshold, it is determined that the communication quality meets the preset requirements; if it is higher than the second threshold, it is determined that the communication quality does not meet the preset requirements; of course, these methods for determining whether the communication quality meets the preset requirements can also be executed by the monitor and the judgment results can be fed back to the processor 250.

[0127] If the communication quality meets the preset requirements, the processor 250 transmits the monitoring-related information to the monitor through the first wireless communication module while the second interface transmits the monitoring-related information through a wired manner.

[0128] If the communication quality does not meet the preset requirements, the processor 250 can stop wireless communication with the first wireless communication module while the second interface transmits the monitoring-related information via a wired manner, and transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor via the second wireless communication module. In other words, if the signal of the first wireless communication module is poor, the second wireless communication module will switch to transmit the monitoring-related information. Of course, if the communication quality does not meet the preset requirements and the second interface transmits the monitoring-related information via a wired manner, the processor 250 can also transmit the monitoring-related information to the monitor via the first and second wireless communication modules simultaneously. In this way, the monitor can ensure that the monitoring-related information is received.

[0129] The processor 250 may also, when the second interface is connected to the monitor via a cable, output monitoring-related information to the monitor via a wired connection through the second interface, and simultaneously maintain a wireless communication connection between the at least one wireless communication module and the monitor while the second interface is transmitting the monitoring-related information via a wired connection. During wired transmission of monitoring-related information, the at least one wireless communication module maintains a wireless communication connection with the monitor, being ready to transmit monitoring-related information at any time. In the event of a failure in wired transmission of monitoring-related information, the monitoring-related information can be immediately transmitted to the monitor via the at least one wireless communication module. Similarly, assuming that the at least one wireless communication module includes a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module, the processor 250 maintaining a wireless communication connection with the monitor while the second interface is transmitting monitoring-related information via a wired connection may include: determining whether the communication quality of the first wireless communication module meets preset requirements; if so, maintaining a wireless communication connection between the first wireless communication module and the monitor while the second interface is transmitting monitoring-related information via a wired connection; if not, maintaining a wireless communication connection between the second wireless communication module and the monitor while the second interface is transmitting monitoring-related information via a wired connection, or maintaining a wireless communication connection between the first wireless communication module and the monitor simultaneously.

[0130] When the second interface is not connected to the monitor by wire, the processor 250 can simultaneously transmit monitoring-related information to the monitor through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module. The specific process has been described in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0131] Example 4:

[0132] The monitoring auxiliary device 20 described above can also be used in a transport scenario. As shown in FIG12 , the monitoring system of this embodiment includes: a sensor 10 , a monitoring auxiliary device 20 , a transport monitor 31 and a main monitor 32 .

[0133] The functions and effects of the sensor 10 are described in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0134] The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is used to be connected to the plurality of sensors 10 via wires to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10 .

[0135] The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is also used to output monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 via wired and / or wireless means when connected to the transport monitor 31 by wire, and usually outputs monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 at least via wired means.

[0136] The monitoring assistance device 20 is also configured to wirelessly output monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 when not connected to the transport monitor 31 by wire. The monitoring assistance device 20 is pre-wiredly paired with the transport monitor 31. When the wired connection to the transport monitor 31 is disconnected or lost, the monitoring assistance device 20 transmits monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 via its wireless communication module.

[0137] The transport monitor 31 is used to receive the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring auxiliary device 20. For example, the monitoring-related information transmitted by wired mode is received by the corresponding communication interface, and the monitoring-related information transmitted by wireless mode is received by the corresponding wireless communication module. In this embodiment, the transport monitor 31 can be used alone or in combination with the main monitor 32. The transport monitor 31 is smaller in size than the main monitor 32, and the screen of the transport monitor 31 is also smaller than the screen of the main monitor 32. During normal use, the transport monitor 31 is inserted into the back of the main monitor 32 and fixed, so that the two are electrically connected and integrated. The monitoring-related data and monitoring results are displayed on the screen of the main monitor 32. In the transport scenario, the transport monitor 31 can be taken out of the main monitor 32 and used alone, so as to facilitate the transfer of patients. Therefore, the transport monitor 31 needs to determine the connection status between itself and the main monitor 32. Specifically, the transport monitor 31 calculates at least part of the received monitoring-related information to obtain a monitoring result. The transport monitor 31 is also a type of monitor 30 in the above embodiment. Therefore, the connection relationship and data transmission between the monitoring auxiliary device, the carrying device and the monitor in the above embodiment are also applicable to the monitoring auxiliary device, the carrying device and the transport monitor. The specific process is shown in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here. After receiving the monitoring-related information, the transport monitor 31 transmits the monitoring-related information or the monitoring result calculated based on the monitoring-related information to the main monitor. For example, the transport monitor 31 is coupled to the main monitor to achieve an electrical connection with the main monitor, such as the transport monitor 31 is plugged into the main monitor to achieve docking of the adapted interfaces or contacts of the two to form an electrical connection, and the monitoring-related information or the monitoring result calculated based on the monitoring-related information is transmitted to the main monitor through the electrical connection. The transmission of monitoring-related information or monitoring results can be done by wire or by wireless transmission. For example, the transport monitor 31 determines whether it is electrically connected to the main monitor 32. When the transport monitor 31 is not electrically connected to the main monitor 32, it can wirelessly output monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results to the main monitor 32 or the central station. This situation usually occurs during the transport process, which makes it easier for nurses to remotely monitor patients through the main monitor 32 or the central station. In this case, the transport monitor 31 also displays monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results on its own screen, making it easier for nurses who are transporting patients to monitor the patients. Please refer to Figures 2 and 9. When transport is required, the nurse can directly unplug the small transport monitor 31 from the large main monitor 32 and place it at the bedside. The entire process only requires one unplugging operation for the nurse. After unplugging the small transport monitor 31 and placing it at the bedside, the cables on the transport bed are simple and few, reducing the maintenance time of the nurse.

[0138] When the transport monitor 31 is electrically connected to the main monitor 32, it outputs monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results to the main monitor 32 via a wired connection, allowing the main monitor 32 to display the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results. After being electrically connected to the main monitor, the transport monitor 31 no longer displays the monitoring-related information or results calculated based on the monitoring-related information on its own screen. Instead, the main monitor performs the display. That is, after being electrically connected to the transport monitor, the main monitor displays the received monitoring-related information and / or results calculated based on the monitoring-related information on its own screen. Thus, when the transport monitor 31 is used in conjunction with the main monitor 32, such as when plugged into the main monitor 32, the two become integrated, equivalent to the monitor 30 in the above-described embodiment. The transport monitor 31 performs the data processing functions of the monitor 30 in the above-described embodiment 1, while the main monitor 32 performs the display functions of the monitor 30 in the above-described embodiment 1. The main monitor 32 has a relatively large screen, primarily used for data display, thus achieving higher human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0139] As shown in FIG4 , the monitoring assistance device 20 may also include the aforementioned battery module 210, the aforementioned first interface 220, the aforementioned second interface 230, the aforementioned wireless communication module 240, and the aforementioned processor 250. The monitoring assistance device 20 may also be used directly in conjunction with the transport monitor 31, with the specific details being the same as in the first embodiment where the monitoring assistance device 20 is directly connected to the monitor 30. The monitoring assistance device 20 may also be used in conjunction with a carrier, with the latter being used as an example for the following description.

[0140] The carrying device 40 adapted for the monitoring assistance device 20 is detachably mounted on the bed. When the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrying device 40, the monitoring assistance device 20 draws power from the carrying device 40. For example, the monitoring assistance device 20 draws power from the carrying device 40 via its own wireless charging receiving module for use by the monitoring assistance device. For another example, the monitoring assistance device 20 connects to the carrying device 40 via the second interface 230 and draws power from the carrying device 40 via the second interface 230 for use by the monitoring assistance device 20. The details are the same as those in the first embodiment and are not further described here.

[0141] The monitoring-related information output by the second interface 230 of the monitoring assistance device 20 is transmitted to the transport monitor 31 via the carrier device 40. For example, when the monitoring assistance device 20 is placed on the carrier device 40 and the second interface 230 is connected to the third interface of the carrier device 40, the monitoring assistance device 20 not only draws power from the transport monitor 31 via the power circuit formed by the second interface 230, the third interface, and the cable for use by the monitoring assistance device 20, but also transmits the monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 via this power circuit. The details are the same as those in the first embodiment and are not further described here.

[0142] The monitoring-related information output by the wireless communication module 240 of the monitoring auxiliary device 20 can also be transmitted to the transport monitor 31 via the carrier device 40 . The details are the same as those in the first embodiment and will not be described here.

[0143] When the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is separated from the carrying device 40 and the second interface 230 does not output monitoring related information, the wireless communication module 240 transmits the monitoring related information to the transport monitor 31 . The details are the same as those in the first embodiment and are not described here.

[0144] Based on the monitoring system provided in this embodiment, the process of collecting monitoring-related information may be shown in FIG13 , including the following steps:

[0145] In step 1''', the monitoring auxiliary device 20 is connected to the plurality of sensors 10 by wires to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10. The details are the same as step 1 in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0146] In step 2', when the monitoring assistance device 20 is connected to the transport monitor 31 by wire, the monitoring assistance device 20 outputs monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 via wire and / or wireless means; when not connected to the transport monitor 31 by wire, the monitoring assistance device 20 outputs monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 via wireless means. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0147] Step 3': The transport monitor receives the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring auxiliary device. When electrically connected to the main monitor, the transport monitor outputs the monitoring-related information to the main monitor via a wired connection, causing the main monitor to display the monitoring-related information. When not electrically connected to the main monitor, the transport monitor outputs the monitoring-related information to the main monitor or the central station via a wireless connection, and / or displays the monitoring-related information on its own screen. The specific process is described in the above embodiment and is not further described here.

[0148] Embodiment 5:

[0149] This embodiment is also applicable to transport scenarios. It differs from the fourth embodiment in that the monitoring assistance device 20 transmits monitoring-related data to the transport monitor 31 only via wired communication. Otherwise, the monitoring system provided in this embodiment is the same as the fourth embodiment. Specifically, the monitoring system provided in this embodiment includes: the sensor 10 described above, the monitoring assistance device 20 described above, the transport monitor 31 described above, and the main monitor 32 described above.

[0150] The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is used to be connected to the plurality of sensors 10 via wires to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors 10 .

[0151] The monitoring auxiliary device 20 is further configured to output monitoring-related information to the transport monitor 31 via a wired manner when connected to the transport monitor 31 via a wired manner.

[0152] The transport monitor 31 is used to receive the monitoring-related information output by the monitoring auxiliary device 20, process at least part of the received monitoring-related information, and obtain monitoring results; when electrically connected to the main monitor 32, the transport monitor 31 outputs the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results to the main monitor 32 via a wired manner so that the main monitor 32 displays the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results, and the screen of the transport monitor 31 itself may not display the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results; when not electrically connected to the main monitor 32, the transport monitor 31 outputs the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results to the main monitor 32 or the central station via a wireless manner, and / or displays the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results on its own screen.

[0153] The main monitor 32 is used to receive and display the monitoring-related information and / or monitoring results transmitted by the transport monitor 31 .

[0154] Although the entire transmission process from physiological parameter signals to monitoring-related information and then to monitoring results is carried out through various interfaces and cables (wired mode), since only one cable is needed between the monitoring auxiliary device 20 and the transport monitor 31, it is also convenient for nurses to perform related operations in conventional bed rest scenarios and transport scenarios.
