ZigBee-based infant incubator temperature monitoring and alarming system and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a Zigbee-based infant incubator temperature monitoring and alarming system and a method. The system comprises a wireless sensing network consisting of a monitoring computer, a coordinator node, router nodes, and sensor terminal nodes. The system is characterized in that a neonatal ward serves as the wireless network; the coordinator node is placed at a ward service nursing center; the router nodes are distributed on the floor corridor; the wireless sensor terminal node is placed in each infant incubator; and the coordinator node is connected with the monitoring computer. The method comprises (1) determining the input and output variables of the Zigbee network model; (2) acquiring a sample data; (3) establishing a Zigbee network model; (4) determining the Zigbee network model; and (5) acquiring the actual temperature values of the infant incubator and the current battery voltage value of the sensor terminal nodes by the Zigbee network model determined in step (4), transmitting the data acquired by each sensor terminal node to the monitoring computer through the wireless network, and the monitoring computer comparing the current battery voltage value of the sensor terminal nodes with a normal battery voltage value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical information processing and analysis, and in particular relates to a temperature monitoring and alarm system and method for an infant incubator. Background technique [0002] Infant incubator is one of the medical device products under the key monitoring of the country and Zhejiang Province. Reports of medical adverse events caused by the out-of-control environment in the incubator are relatively common, such as burns, frostbite, mass infection, etc. The environment in the incubator, especially the temperature monitoring is particularly important. [0003] In recent years, wireless communication technology has been widely used in domestic and foreign medical markets, and the application of wireless medical equipment has grown rapidly. Reports indicate that sales of wireless medical devices in Europe increased from $98 million in 2003 to $445.8 million in 2008. In 2003, the medical WiFi market in ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the application of medical equipment system integration products based on ZigBee technology in hospitals at home and abroad is still blank, especially the system integration of life support equipment such as treatment and rescue that uses wireless sensor networks for national key monitoring. There is no such research at present.
