A prohibited object detection system detects prohibited objects in a patient room. An image of an object detected in a room of a patient is initially collected. The system identifies reference points on the object, for example, points along the contours of the object. The system may compare the reference points to reference points of images associated with prohibited objects. The system then determines, based on the comparison, if the object is a prohibited object. One or more designated recipients may be alerted if the object is a prohibited object. The system may also register the object in a database of prohibited objects.

A plurality of universal patient rooms (40) are located adjacent the OR / intervention rooms and universal patient rooms, and are configured and equipped to admit patients for surgery / intervention, prepare patients for surgery / intervention, allow patients to recover post-intervention, and discharge patients post-recovery.

The invention is a Bed Exit Night Light System designed to illuminate a hospital room if a patient leaves his bed, but is not activated by the presence of hospital staff or casual movement of equipment.

Rapid Disinfection System that is able to disinfect the surfaces of a Rescue Ambulance Patient Cabin after all necessary hand disinfection protocols have been completed. As with emergency situations timing is critical. This system can disinfect the patient cabin rapidly within minutes with very little operator effort. This will allow for little to no down time of the rescue ambulance. Larger populated areas may have as much as 50,000 emergency calls in a months' time and may only have 20 to 30 rescue ambulance to handle all of these calls. In these areas there may only be less than 5 minutes surface disinfection times available.

Systems and methods of automatically or semi-automatically loading patient chart information onto a patient room computer system. The systems and methods involve using the patient room computer system to obtain patient identifying information, then requesting the patient chart from a primary computer system. Upon receiving the patient chart from the primary computer system, the invention relates to displaying the patient chart on the patient room computer system. Obtaining the patient information may occur in several ways. For instance, since a patient is typically associated with a specific room within the healthcare facility, the act of obtaining patient information may involve determining the room identification for the patient and using the room identification, requesting the patient chart associated with the room. In an embodiment, the room identification information is transmitted to the patient room computer system automatically upon entering the room, e.g., by using cellular telephone technology. In another embodiment, the patient room computer system has bar-code reading capabilities and thus reads a bar-code, either as part of the room providing room information as part of the patient providing patient identification information independent of room information.

A hospital layout comprising a plurality of adjacent OR / intervention rooms (46, 48) uniquely configured and equipped to perform surgical and other interventional procedures, with adjacent intubation rooms (52) configured and equipped to prepare patients for procedures to occur in the OR / intervention rooms and at least one extubation room (54) adjacent the OR / intervention rooms, configured and equipped to post-intervention awaken and extubate patients. A plurality of universal patient rooms (40) are located adjacent the OR / intervention rooms and universal patient rooms, and are configured and equipped to admit patients for surgery / intervention, prepare patients for surgery / intervention, allow patients to recover post-intervention, and discharge patients post-recovery.

The invention relates to a wireless sensor network based ward monitoring system. A monitoring terminal of the system is installed in a ward, and all terminal nodes periodically collect monitoring data at a fixed time and send the monitoring data to a ZigBee coordinator through a wireless transmission manner; the ZigBee coordinator gathers the monitoring data and sends the gathered monitoring data to a ZigBee-WiFi gateway module and a ZigBee-GPRS gateway module through the wireless transmission manner, and the two gateway modules perform protocol conversion on the monitoring data and send the monitoring data to a monitoring management center through a WiFi network or a GPRS network; and the monitoring management center finishes storing, displaying, analyzing and processing the monitoring data and pushes the monitoring data and analysis and processing results to a user side. Through adoption of the system, a doctor can remotely monitor ward environment parameters and patient vital sign parameters in real time, and the system has good invulnerability and safety.

The invention discloses a negative pressure ward in combination use in ordinary times and epidemic times. The negative pressure ward comprises a medical care corridor, ward bodies, a patient corridorand buffer rooms, wherein a power distribution type ventilation system comprises a main ventilating machine, ventilating control modules, a main exhaust blower, exhaust air control modules, differential pressure sensors used for monitoring the differential pressure between the ward body and the corresponding buffer room and air quality sensors used for monitoring the air quality conditions in theward bodies, meanwhile, the invention further discloses a ventilation control method of the negative pressure ward in combination use in the ordinary times and the epidemic times, when the ward bodiesare used as the negative pressure ward bodies, the exhaust air control modules can adjust the exhaust air rate in a linkage mode by combining feedback signals of the differential pressure sensors, and it is ensured that the designed differential pressure can immediately return to normal after being damaged to prevent cross infection, when the ward bodies are used as the common ward bodies, the ventilating control modules can adjust the ventilating volume in a linkage mode by combining feedback signals of the air quality sensors, then the exhaust air control modules are linked to adjust the exhaust air volume, and it can be guaranteed that energy consumption is reduced when the ward bodies are used as the common ward bodies.

The invention relates to a dynamic separated contagion room, which is formed by patient room, buffer room, and toilet, with sealing space, wherein it has 60-80n / h exhaust times, 6-8m3 buffer room, and common door; the top plate over the operation position is arranged with main flow area wind let; the inner side of bed head is arranged with reflux open of non-leakage high-efficiency filter; the top plate of buffer room is arranged with wind inlet; the lower part of wall plate is arranged with reflux inlet; and the whole space is arranged with external feeding and exhausting wind tube. The invention has the advantages that: it uses dynamic separate technique, without expensive sealing door and high-passive pressure separation. And it uses non-leakage high-efficiency filter to reflux wind without air conditioner.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a system for analysis of respiratory distress in hospitalized patients. The system performs multi-parametric simultaneous analysis of respiration rate (RR) and pulse oximetry (SpO2) data trends in order to gauge patterns of patient instability pertaining to respiratory distress. Three patterns in SpO2 and RR are used along with LOWESS algorithm and Chauvenets criteria for outlier rejection to obtain robust short term and long term trends in RR and SpO2. Pattern analysis detects the presence of any one of three pattern types proposed. Further, a learning paradigm is introduced to find unknown instances of respiratory distress. This algorithm in conjunction with the learning model allows early detection of respiratory distress in hospital ward and ICU patients.

According to the invention, when a general practitioner robot arrives at a preset position, by adoption of a remote control or intelligent control mode and by means of man-machine interaction and man-machine fusion, the general practitioner robot monitors vital signs of the human body in real time, carries out physical examinations like whole-body examination, electrocardio, ultrasound, X-ray, electroencephalogram and lung functions, collects specimens, completes assay pathology detection, implements remote diagnosis and treatment, automatically generates medical record documents, executes medical advice, performs emotional accompanying and environmental disinfection, thereby completing basic diagnosis and treatment operations in wards, homes and dangerous environments, improving energy efficiency and reducing the risk of medical staff.
