Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, such a manual management method requires a large number of staff to intervene, which greatly reduces the workflow efficiency in the hospital
And it is difficult to guarantee compliance with the rules of use in the facility
For example, healthcare workers may forget to enable / disable the hub unit, which can lead to inefficient use of the MBAN spectrum (assuming the hub unit will by default use other , the MBAN device will still use the MBAN spectrum)
Additionally, patients physically having MBAN devices operating in the MBAN spectrum may be ambulatory and leave the facility from time to time
Patient movement may be uncontrolled by health care staff and violate rules of use in the facility

Embodiment Construction

[0020] refer to figure 1 , each MBAN 10 of a plurality of medical body area networks (MBANs) includes a plurality of MBAN devices 12 , 14 and corresponding hub devices 16 . The MBAN devices 12, 14 communicate with corresponding hub devices 16 via a short-range wireless communication protocol. Other equivalent terms are sometimes used to refer to MBAN10 in related literature, such as body area network (BAN), body sensor network (BSN), personal area network (PAN), mobile ad hoc network (MANET), etc. The term Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) 10 is to be understood as covering these alternative terms.

[0021] The exemplary MBAN 10 includes two exemplary MBAN devices 12, 14 and corresponding hub devices 16; however, the number of MBAN devices and hub devices may be one, two, three, four, five, six, or more Furthermore, in some embodiments, when adding or removing MBAN devices from the network to add or remove medical monitoring capabilities, the number of MBAN devices can be sca...

Abstract

A medical system includes one or more MBAN devices which acquire and communicate patient data. One or more medical body area network (MBAN) systems include the one or more MBAN devices communicating the patient data with a hub device via short-range wireless communication. The communication of the patient data via the short-range wireless communication being within a predefined spectrum. The hub device receives patient data communicated from the one or more MBAN devices, communicates with a central monitoring station via a longer range communication and one or more access points (AP), and determines the location of the MBAN system in reference to a healthcare facility. The one or more MBAN devices are inhibited from transmitting within the predefined spectrum when the MBAN hub device is located outside the healthcare facility.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to medical monitoring and clinical data devices for monitoring the physiological condition of patients. This application has particular application to the constraints and enforcement of MBAN spectrum for MBAN services and applications. Background technique [0002] Rapid advances in physiological sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communications have enabled a new generation of medical body area networks (MBANs) for patient monitoring. MBANs provide low-cost wireless patient monitoring (PM) without the inconvenience and safety hazards of wired connections that can trip medical personnel or can become detached, losing medical data. In the MBAN approach, multiple low-cost sensors are attached to different locations on or near the patient, and these sensors take readings of the patient's physiological information, such as the patient's temperature, pulse, blood glucose levels, electrocardiogram (ECG) data...
