Description

Instant monitoring system

The present invention relates to an instant monitoring technology, and in particular to a spot monitoring system.

Medical infusions are mostly gravity-type drip, that is, the liquid bag or liquid bottle is suspended on a fixed shelf, so that the liquid drops into the blood due to natural gravity. At present, the monitoring method of the drip process still uses manual monitoring. When it is found that the end of the drip or the drip process is abnormal, it is necessary to manually press the alarm button or notify the medical staff to handle it.

Furthermore, since the setting of the drip needs to have different weights depending on the different medicines and different labels, if the weight of the drip is to be monitored, it will need to be adjusted for different drip, which will cause difficulty for the user. . In the absence of effective monitoring methods, the workload of medical staff will also increase. Therefore, how to design a real-time monitoring system to solve the above problems is an urgent problem to be solved in the industry.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a spot monitoring system, which mainly improves the previous monitoring drip process by using manual monitoring, and uses the sensor to instantly sense the weight of the drip, when the weight of the drip is less than or equal to the critical value. An alarm sounds to remind the caregiver that a bit of replacement is required, and the setting information of the drip is transmitted from the cloud server to the monitoring device, so that the effect of monitoring and setting is convenient.

In order to achieve the above objectives, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a spot monitoring system including: a weight sensor, a processor, and a cloud server. The weight sensor is used to sense the weight information, and the processor is electrically connected to the weight sensor for calculating the weight information, and sending the warning information when the weight information is not greater than the drop threshold. The cloud server is in communication with the processor for receiving the weight information transmitted by the processor, and comparing the weight information with the setting information of the drip to calculate the remaining time. The setting information includes the weight of the empty bag and the critical value of the drip.

The novel spot monitoring system mainly improves the previous monitoring drip process by manual monitoring, and uses the weight sensor to instantly sense the weight of the drip. When the weight of the drip is less than or equal to the critical value, an alarm sounds. Remind the caregiver to make a bit of replacement, and transfer the setting information of the drip from the cloud server to the monitoring device, which can achieve instant monitoring and convenient setting.

The operation of the drip real-time monitoring system 100 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for monitoring the real-time monitoring of a droplet according to some embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a method for monitoring the real-time monitoring of the droplet according to some embodiments of the present invention. The drip monitoring method 200 can be applied to the drip real-time monitoring system 100 of FIG. The spot monitoring method 200 includes the following steps (it should be understood that the steps mentioned in the embodiment can be adjusted according to actual needs, and can be performed simultaneously or partially simultaneously, unless the order is specifically stated. ).

In step S210, the processor 120 receives the setting information transmitted by the cloud server 130. In an embodiment, the cloud server 130 accesses setting information of different bits, and the setting information includes information such as a bit of empty bag weight, a drip threshold value, a drip initial weight, a drug type, a drug label, and a dropper type. Therefore, when the user wants to install the drip on the real-time monitoring system 100, the processor 120 can be used to download the corresponding information of the corresponding information on the cloud server 130 through the network, and then transmitted to the weight sensor 110 by wire.

In step S220 and step S230, the weight of the drip is sensed by the weight sensor 110, and the weight of the drip is calculated by the processor 120. In an embodiment, when the spot monitoring system 100 is installed on the drip, the weight sensor 110 starts to sense the weight of the drip, and transmits the sensed weight value to the processor 120, the processor 120. The weight value of the droplet sensed by the weight sensor 110 is continuously calculated.

In step S240 and step S250, the processor 120 determines whether the weight of the drip is greater than the drip threshold, and if not greater than the drip threshold, the processor 120 sends a warning message. In an embodiment, the processor 120 continuously detects whether the weight of the drip is less than or equal to the drip threshold in the setting information, and sends a warning message to the alarm module 122 once less than or equal to the drip threshold.

In step S260, the processor 120 transmits the weight of the drip to the cloud server 130. In an embodiment, the processor 120 continuously transmits the drip information to the cloud server 130, and the information includes the weight of the drip and the state of the alarm module. (For example: monitoring status or warning status), the identification ID of the drip, the current power of the processor 120, etc., the cloud server 130 stores the drip information in the memory.

In step S270, the cloud server 130 compares the weight of the drip with the setting information of the drip to calculate the remaining time. In an embodiment, after receiving the weight of the drip, the processor 120 immediately transmits the weight of the drip to the cloud server 130, and the cloud server 130 starts to calculate the remaining time of the drip, using the initial weight and the passing of the setting information. After a period of weight comparison, you can calculate how much time it takes to complete the drip. For example, the initial weight of the drip is 500 grams, and after 490 grams in 1 minute, it can be inferred that it takes 50 minutes to complete the drip. .

In step S280, the remaining time is transmitted to the electronic device 140 through the cloud server 130. Following the above embodiment, after the remaining time is calculated, the cloud server 130 transmits the remaining time (50 minutes) to the electronic device 140, so that the user of the electronic device can see how long the drop remains. That will drop. In an embodiment, the electronic device 140 can also set a reminding mechanism. For example, when the drip is left for 10 minutes, the electronic device 140 can send a warning signal to remind the user (may be a nurse, a caregiver or Is the caregiver) need to assist the patient to replace the drip.

In step S290 and step S291, the cloud server 130 determines whether the weight of the droplet is greater than a drop threshold. If the threshold is less than or equal to the drop threshold, the cloud server 130 sends a warning message to the electronic device 140. In an embodiment, the cloud server 130 continuously detects whether the weight of the drip is less than or equal to the drip threshold in the setting information, and once less than or equal to the drip threshold, the remaining time and warning information of the drip is sent to the electronic device 140. . The cloud server 130 transmits the remaining time and warning information of the drip to the electronic device 140 matching the identification ID of the drip according to the identification ID of the drip in the drip information, and the warning information may be the state of the alarm module or reminder to replace A little bit of information.

In an embodiment, when the electronic device 140 and the cloud server 130 are disconnected, the electronic device 140 continues to calculate the remaining time. For example, when the electronic device 140 carried by the caregiver is in a state of network interruption, and the connection with the cloud server 130 cannot be established immediately, and the remaining time transmitted by the cloud server is received, the electronic device 140 starts to start the countdown mechanism and continues to calculate. For the remaining time, when the electronic device 140 and the cloud server 130 establish a connection again, the electronic device 140 is re-adjusted according to the remaining time calculated by the cloud server 130.

In an embodiment, the cloud server 130 can receive the setting information of the drip in addition to the drip information from the processor. For example, the setting information of the drip may be changed due to the update of the drug capacity, the replacement of the manufacturer, or the failure to be listed due to the expiration of the medical certificate, so the setting information of the drip may be through the user interface in the cloud server 130. (not shown) is updated.

In an embodiment, the cloud server 130 can also be used to record information about the use of the patient. For example, corresponding to the same symptom, but may vary depending on age, gender, and ethnicity, resulting in different doses of injections. For example, Caucasian males aged 20 to 30 will be different from 0-5 female yellow females. The amount of drip usage, the cloud server 130 can collect the above-mentioned information after the capitalization, and provide the information to the medical institution or medical school for research and use.

It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present invention that the main improvement is that the monitoring drip process is manually monitored, and the weight of the drip is instantly sensed by the weight sensor, and an alarm sounds when the weight of the drip is less than or equal to the critical value. Remind the caregiver that a bit of replacement is required, and the weight of the drip is transmitted to the cloud server. The cloud server converts the weight of the drip into the remaining time and transmits it to the caretaker's mobile phone to remind the caretaker to change the drip immediately. The setting information of the drip can be transmitted from the cloud server to the spot monitoring system to achieve instant monitoring and convenient setting.

In addition, the above examples include exemplary steps in sequence, but the steps are not necessarily performed in the order shown.
