  1. Wireless Patient Monitoring System Digital Health Section Professor: Patricia Mellodge

  2. Objective • To construct a hospital bed which contains an internal computerized system that alerts the nurses of any change of the patient position on the bed. • Determine patient’s location • Sensors located on bed and directly on the patient. • Sensors send data to the nurse's screen located in the nursing station. • To have the ability to monitor multiple of patients at once. • Monitoring system can be used in a hospital, homes and hospice setting.

  3. Schedule

  4. Bed Monitoring Purpose: The bed sensors are designed to determine whether or not the patient is in the bed. Switches in a grid pattern will be used to determine the patients location. Can be moved from hospital to home, wherever needed.

  5. Bed Monitoring: Materials Bed 6’ x 2’ egg crate foam mattress pad 2 sheets of 6’ x 2’ plywood 12 SPDT switches Miscellaneous assembly hardware The switches are constantly open unless depressed by a patient on the bed. This will send a high(1) signal to the microcontroller SPDT Switches

  6. Bed Monitoring: Design 1 sheet of plywood serves as a base, while the switches are mounted on top of it. The second sheet of plywood has holes drilled so when the switches are depressed, they are flush with the top sheet of plywood. Egg crate foam then rests on the top sheet of plywood to create a comfortable sleeping environment.

  7. Patient • Use of a microcontroller will wirelessly transmit information from: • Temperature sensor • Heart rate monitor • Body orientation/location • Accelerometer • Tilt sensor

  9. Nurse’s Station • Will use LabView software to create a monitoring screen that will display data.

  10. Parts List and Budget Budget=$300

  11. Advantages • A wireless system has several advantages such as: • patient safety • low maintenance • ease of mobility for the caretaker/patient • A large capacity for transmitting information without the need for a bulky monitoring station. • Satisfies a demand for monitoring: • Unattended falls, heart attacks, fevers, and several other medical mishaps. • There is a societal demand for this system due to staffing constraints.
