Description
MEDICAL MONITOR
The present invention relates to a medical monitor, and particularly but not exclusively to a low-cost and lightweight medical monitor for use in disaster relief.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Medical monitors are well known, and typically comprise of a display which shows readings from several sensors. The sensors will typically measure pulse rate, respiratory frequency, and diastolic and systolic blood pressure. Some devices may also measure and display body temperature, blood oxygenation, cardiac output, CO2 concentration, and a range of other health-related metrics.
Readings from the sensors are typically displayed on a CRT, LED or LCD display.
All of these display technologies require significant power to operate and may be easily damaged in transit. These factors make existing devices unsuited for use in many disaster relief or military applications, where many medical monitor devices may need to be transported at short notice for use in a facility where reliable mains power is not available.
A further disadvantage of the use of the above display technologies in medical monitoring devices is the high cost of manufacture. The units may be too costly to stockpile in anticipation of transit to a disaster area. Due to the weight of existing displays. transportation may be prohibitively difficult and expensive.
It is an object of this invention to provide a medical monitor which reduces or substantially obviates the above mentioned problems.
STATEMENT OF INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a medical monitor comprising a display and a display controller, the display comprising at least in part of c-paper, and the display controller including means to receive a signal from at least one physiological sensor device.
An e-paper display provides several advantages over CRT, LED and LCD display technologies. An c-paper display consumes power only when the image on the display is refreshed. Therefore the overall power consumption of the device when attached to a patient in a reasonably stable condition will be small, since the display wifl only consume power when the reading from one of the sensors changes. An e-paper display is lightweight and deformable. This facilitates cost-effective transportation of the device with a low risk of damage.
An integral battery may be provided for powenng the display and display controller.
Provision of a battery obviates the need for an external power supply, which is especially advantageous in areas where no reliable mains supply is available.
One or more physiological sensor devices may be provided for measuring vital signs of a human body. The physiological sensor device or devices may measure pulse rate, respiratory frequency, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, or any other metric which is considered advantageous for facilitating the care of a patient.
The signal or signals from the physiological sensor device or devices may be received by the display controller by means of a cable. This arrangement serves to further prolong battery life by removing the need for radio transmission and receiving apparatus, and also does not require a separate power supply to be provided to the sensors.
The signal or signals from the physiological sensor device or devices may alternatively be received by the display controller by wireless means. Wireless communication between the sensor and display serves to mininilse the encumbrance on the patient and upon carers which would otherwise be caused by cables. This advantage is particularly important where the patient may need to be moved quickly.
Wireless signals also allow the display to be placed at some distance from the patient, enabling multiple patients to be monitored from a single position where necessary.
The wireless means may conform to the Bluetooth (RTM) standard. The Bluetooth (RTM) standard is well-known, and medical sensors conforming to this standard are
I
already widely available. Bluetooth (RTM) therefore provides the advantage of compatibility with existing equipment.
The signal or signals from the physiological sensor device or devices may be sent via an intermediate device. The intermediate device may contain a battery or other means to power the sensors, and may also contain a radio transmitter in the case where the display will receive a wireless signal. The intermediate device may therefore allow wireless operation of the display, whilst not requiring an individual power source in each individual sensor, The battery powering the display and display controller may be rechargeable. Where a rechargeable battery is provided, a connection may be provided to charge the battery from an external power source. The battery may therefore be charged without removing it from the device, and the medical monitor may be used continuously for an indefinite period whilst connected to a power supply, even if the power supply is only intermittently available, The battery powering the display and display controller may be removable and replaceable. This allows the device to be used for an indefinite period as long as replacement batteries are available.
A protective cover may be provided to prevent damage to the screen. Whilst e-paper is intrinsically deformable, it is susceptible to damage by sharp objects. A protective cover reduces this risk.
A medical monitor as described in any of the above paragraphs may further comprise of a box, which may be folded from a lamina net.
A box folded from a lamina net has the advantage that it may be folded flat in order that it requires minimal space during storage and transportation, but when folded into a box can be used to store accessories, for example compatible sensors, cables and spare batteries.
The box may be made from cardboard or from plastics. Cardboard is cheap, lightweight and easily recyclable. Plastics are water resistant.
Where a box forms part of the device, the c-paper display may be mounted on an exterior face of the box. Alternatively, the c-paper display may be mounted inside the box for protection. The box may enclose the display controller and, where one is provided, the battery.
One or more compartments may be provided in the box which are sized and shaped to securely store sensor devices when they are not in use. In this way, a single unit houses all the essential components of the monitor, and may also house additional accessories such as sensors and spare batteries.
Attachment means may be provided for hanging the monitor, for example. from the end of a bed. A monitor which can be attached to a patient's bed is advantageous over a freestanding monitor since it minirnises the floor space which is taken up by a single patient with associated monitoring equipment, and therefore allows more patients to be looked after in any particular facility.
The attachment means may comprise of at least one strap. A strap is lightweight and easy to use, whilst providing secure attachment to the end of a hospital bed.
The strap or straps may comprise at least in part of hook and ioop fasteners, such as Velcro (RTM). Hook and thop fasteners provide a fastening which can be engaged and released easily and quickly.
Where a box is a component part of the device, the means of attachment to, for example, the end of a hospital bed may be provided as an integral part of the lamina net of the box. This further reduces the manufacturing costs, since no additional straps need to be attached.
Alternatively, the c-paper display may be rolled into a tube for storage. End caps may be provided which, when placed upon opposing ends of the tube, define a space within which physiological sensor devices can be stored when not in use.
