Description

Portable Integrated Medical Examination System

The present invention relates to a portable integrated medical examination system, and more specifically, a plurality of medical sensors such as a thermometer, a blood pressure monitor, a stethoscope, an endoscope, an electrocardiogram, an oxygen saturation meter, a blood glucose meter, a lung capacity meter, and an ultrasonic diagnostic device used in a hospital. The present invention relates to a portable integrated medical examination system including two wireless biosignal measurement devices.

Conventional medical examination devices and medical examination sensors used in hospitals are constructed of wires, which is cumbersome to use and inconvenient to carry. In addition, in order to use various types of screening sensors, there is a inconvenience in that a separate display device must be provided, which is driven to display measured values. In addition, the values measured by these devices are inconvenient for a person to input into a computer by hand or record in a chart, and accordingly, there is a problem that a human error may occur.

Currently, there are healthcare devices that can be used in mobile devices, but there are insufficient parts to use for medical examinations. In addition, the healthcare devices have a system, so there is a problem in that they must be driven separately as individual programs.

In addition, although a medical examination device suitable for many fields is required outside the hospital, there are problems in that medical examination devices that can be used outside the hospital are very limited, expensive equipment, and do not have the basic types necessary for examination.

In case of infectious diseases such as MERS, a diagnostic device that can be easily carried in case there is a need to quarantine a large number of patients is needed. In addition, medical diagnostic equipment that can be taken in the event of an emergency is also required in transportation such as airplanes, ships, and railroads that operate over long distances.

In addition, even if there is a diagnostic device to be carried, it is a problem to supply power when using a medical device outside the hospital.
