Description

lMobile case solution with integrated hardware and medical equipment and tools for doctor applications.

2. Medical aids are required for a medical examination or on-site medical care. In addition, hardware components can and should complement and facilitate the doctor's work. The doctor's case with integrated hardware offers the doctor an equivalent 'on-site practice'. According to the current state of technology, such a mobile case solution (see above) is completely new. This case solution contains both a mains-connected and a mains-independent power supply and thus guarantees unrestricted mobility.

2.2.The mobile doctor's case has a robust aluminum profile shell and consists of two separate case parts - case lid A and case base B. The latter is removable (see Figure 3.1 and 5.1), so that the case lid A (see Figure 7) can be used as a separate workstation.

On the surface of the case lid A (see Figure 7), the accessible hardware components, such as notebook, printer, insurance card reader, telephone with data modem and the interfaces, are installed on a powder-coated aluminum plate. A specially developed fastening ensures that the components are held securely. All connections are easily accessible. The components are housed and attached invisibly on the underside of the case lid A (such as the world-wide power supply (85-225VoIt) and 12VoIt car adapter with microprocessor-controlled charging power management, battery for mains-independent operation, data controller for the individual interfaces, ECG module). Additional medical modules (blood pressure and lung function measurement modules, etc.) can be integrated as an option and can be controlled via the notebook. The individual components are connected to one another according to the block diagrams !"Power supply for the case components" (see Figure 2) and "Connection options to the notebook interfaces via data controller" (see Figure 1). The outputs of the peripheral component interfaces are routed to the surface of the case lid A and allow users to connect the measuring sensors, control and measure external medical modules, e.g. via Sub-D connector strips. Document compartments are located on the underside of the case base B.

On the top of the case body B (see Figure 4) there is a powder-coated aluminum compartment for storing all medically necessary aids. The case lid B also offers the option of storing ampoules and similar items safely against mechanical impacts thanks to a special compartment and the separation with a Plexiglas plate. The lid B of the case body B can be swiveled using hinges and is not removable.

In the case solution described, the case parts A and case body B are combined in a "double case" case model X (see Figure 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4, 7). It is also possible to separate the hardware components from the medical aids, as shown in the "single case" case model Y (see Figure 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 6).

2.3 The doctor can not only use the case to administer medication to the patient on site, depending on the equipment of the case system, the doctor can, for example, carry out a long-term ECG, long-term blood pressure, resting/stress ECG, lung function or rhinornanometry measurement. Using the appropriate doctor's software, he can diagnose, access archived data (master data, patient files) and descriptions of pharmaceutical products. The patient's clinical picture can be recorded. Organizational processes are handled, insurance cards can be read, referrals and prescriptions as well as ECG documentation can be archived and printed out. In addition, there is the option of communicating (telephoning, faxing, transferring data with a modem). The case can be integrated into the practice as a fully-fledged medical workstation via a PCMCIA network adapter and thus used.

Claims (1)

^i»: Martin Pannasenko
Date: 05.08.96 Protection claims 1. Mobile case solution with integrated hardware and medical aids and tools for doctor applications. characterized,
2. that a notebook, printer, insurance card reader, ECG module, a world-wide power supply unit for powering the individual case components with microprocessor-controlled charging power management and car adapter, as well as a battery for mains-independent power supply are installed. Furthermore, data controllers for controlling external or integrated medical modules (long-term ECG, long-term blood pressure, lung function or a rhinometry module) are installed in the case. These controllers are connected to the serial and/or parallel interfaces of the notebook unit and enable the notebook to be connected to other medical modules via connector strips in the case lid A (see Figure 7). The connection of the individual hardware components to one another is shown in the block diagrams "Power supply for the case components" (see Figure 2) and "Connection options to the notebook interfaces via data controller" (see Figure 1). Hardware components such as a cell phone, data modem, network adapter, etc. can also be integrated into the case, which are connected via PCMCIA interfaces integrated in the notebook. The case itself consists of two separate case parts, case lid A and case base B (see Figures 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6 and 7). Case base B is removable and, depending on the version, contains either compartments for medical aids and document compartments or, in the second variant, only document compartments. See the drawing of case model X ("double case") (see Figure 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4 and 7 ) and case model Y ("single case") (see Figures 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 6 ). The case lid B of case model X is pivotally attached to the case base B. 3. Mobile case solution according to protection claim 1
