Abstract:
Several kinds of patient monitoring systems have been provided to healthcare facilities such as hospitals in recent years. Most of these systems lack interoperability and are designed for sensors to be connectable within the same medical manufacturer. In these systems, monitoring devices and terminals are connected to a network, and operations are performed on a central console. This means that an operator is needed to do the job, which is not suitable for realistic healthcare fields. To address these problems, we have developed and propose a novel patient monitoring platform for healthcare facilities. This platform consists of a notification system for event monitoring applications and a data collecting system for data measuring applications. In the notification system, pairing between a patient monitoring device and a mobile terminal carried by a medical person can be completed merely by reading a Quick Response Code on the display of a monitoring terminal at a patient’s bedside. When the monitoring device detects that a patient is having trouble, it sends event messages to the mobile terminal. In the data collecting system, medical data files measured by sensor devices are automatically uploaded to a cloud server and downloaded from the server to an authorized medical professional.
