To this end, a hospital nurse call system according to the present invention includes a call terminal device 3 equipped with a CCD camera 5, a liquid crystal monitor screen 6, a printer unit 7, a speaker 11 and a call button 8. It is characterized in that it is arranged and connected to the room 1 and each hospital room 4. It should be noted that the numbers added to the above configurations are for comparison with the drawings for easy understanding, and the configurations of the present invention are not limited thereby.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the nurse can talk while watching the patient's face, movements, etc. by seeing the image of the patient taken by the CCD camera of the call terminal device on the LCD monitor screen. The patient's symptoms can be observed.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a hospital nurse call system of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a call terminal device, FIG. A is a front view, and FIG. B is a side view.

In FIG. 1, a nurse's room 1 is provided with a call terminal device 3 connected to a personal computer 2, and a large number of call terminal devices 3 are also provided near the patient's bed in each hospital room 4. It is connected to the call terminal device 3 in the nurse room 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the call terminal device 3 comprises a CCD camera 5, a liquid crystal monitor screen 6, a printer section 7, a call button 8, a volume button 9, a channel button 10 and a speaker 11.

The patient or the nurse operates the call button 8, the volume button 9, and the channel button 10 to display the image taken by the CCD camera 5 on the liquid crystal monitor screen 6, and the nurse By observing the patient's symptoms by watching the face and movements of the patient, the patient's symptoms can be observed, which improves the certainty of information communication with the patient and allows them to concentrate on nursing activities and reduce the nursing burden. Can be achieved.

From the personal computer 2, inspections, rounds,
A schedule such as a meal menu is input, and this is sent to the call terminal device 3 of each patient and output from the printer unit 7, so that various kinds of information can be surely transmitted. It is also possible to collaborate.

[0012]
