Machine 2, corridor lamp 3 for informing a call from a nurse call slave, which will be described later, nurse call slave 4 for a patient to call and talk to a nurse, and a nurse carrying the human body communication There is provided a human body communication transmitter 5 for nurses to perform and a human body communication transmitter 6 for patients to carry and perform human body communication.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 3, the nurse call master unit 1 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) 11 for displaying patient information and nursing information, an LCD controller 12 for controlling the LCD, name, sex, address, etc. A patient information storage unit 13 for storing patient information, a communication unit 14 for nurses to communicate with patients, a nursing information storage unit 15 for storing relief categories, infectious diseases, vital information, and the like, and communication with the controller 2 And an IF 16 for the purpose.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the nurse call slave unit 4 includes a microphone 41 and a speaker 42 for a patient to talk to a nurse, and human body communication transmitters 5 and 6 carried by the nurse or the patient. A human body communication receiver 43 for communication, a nurse call button 44 operated by a patient to call a nurse, and a nurse call child in which an ID of a nurse call child set for each nurse call child is stored. A machine ID storage unit 45, an IF 46 for communicating with the corridor lamp 3, and a handset CPU 47 for controlling the nurse call handset 4 are provided.

The human body communication technology employs a technology such as Body Area Networks (IEEE 802.15.6) that uses a human body as a communication medium and has a communication distance of about 0 to several centimeters from the surface of the human body or clothes.
The operation of the nurse call system configured as described above will be described below.
The point that the patient calls the nurse to make a call is the same as in the prior art, so the description is omitted.

Example 1
For example, when a visiting nurse goes to see the patient in the room 101 equipped with the nurse call slave 4 having the slave number “101-1”, the nurse checks the patient, If there is no particular problem, the human body communication receiver 43 of the nurse call handset 4 is touched.

Then, the slave CPU 47 reads out the nurse ID information “001” stored in advance in the nurse human body communication transmitter 5 and acquires the nurse ID information “001”.
A child machine ID “101-1” stored in advance in the information nurse call child machine ID storage unit 45 is added and transmitted to the corridor lamp 3 via the child machine CPU 47 and IF 46. The corridor lamp 3 is transmitted to the controller 2 and is transmitted to the nurse call parent device 1 via the controller 2. In the nurse call parent device 1, it is received by the parent device CPU 17 via the IF 16, and is stored together with time information in the nursing information recording unit 15 under the control of the parent device CPU.

Thereby, since the child machine ID information, the nurse ID information, and the time information are stored in the nursing information recording unit 15, it is possible to easily grasp when and who has visited the place.

(Example 2)
Next, for example, when going to see the state of the patient in the room 101 provided with the nurse call handset 4 having the handset number “101-1”, the nurse touches the patient to see the state of the patient.

Then, the slave CPU 47 reads out the nurse ID information “001” stored in advance in the nurse human body communication transmitter 5 and acquires the nurse ID information “001”.
At the same time, the patient ID information “0001000” stored in advance in the patient human body communication transmitter 6 can be acquired via the nurse's human body.
The child device CPU 47 adds the child device ID “101-1” stored in advance in the information nurse call child device ID storage unit 45 to the nurse ID information and patient ID information as in the first embodiment. The call is received by the nurse call parent device 1 through the same route as in the embodiment.

In the nurse call master unit 1, it is stored together with time information in the nursing information recording unit 15 via the IF 16 and the master unit CPU 17.
Thereby, since the patient information is stored in the nursing information recording unit 15 in addition to the child device ID information, the nurse ID information, and the time information, it is possible to easily grasp when, where, and who visited the patient. It becomes possible.
Further, in this embodiment, since the slave ID information is stored together with the patient ID information, it is possible to make the nurse call slave set to be different from the bed even when the patient is not in the original bed. Become. That is, an alarm for notifying that the bed is different is transmitted from the nurse call master device 1 and is received by the nurse call slave device along the reverse path. The nurse call handset 4 informs the nurse by notifying the alarm from the speaker 42.

In the above embodiment, when the nurse call master unit 1 receives the patient ID information and the nurse ID information, if it is different slave unit ID information, it is determined that it is a false detection and the nursing record is recorded. It is possible not to do it. Thereby, even if it is a case where a patient operates the human body communication receiving part 43 of the nurse call cordless handset 1 accidentally, it does not remain as a nursing record.
