An adhesive bandage that includes: a thin sheet having an underside provided with a self adhesive; a wireless transmitter; a memory unit, coupled to the wireless transmitter, for storing a patient identifier and for storing patient data that comprises measurement thresholds, vital signs measurements and treatment data; a monitor, coupled to the memory unit, for monitoring vital signs and for generating the vital signs measurements; a wireless receiver for receiving requests to obtain requested patient data; an alert generator, coupled to the memory unit, for generating an alert if a vital sign measurement reached an associated measurement threshold; and a processor, coupled to the wireless transmitter, to the wireless receiver and to the memory unit, for determining whether to transmit, by the wireless transmitter, the requested patient data and the patient identifier, and for determining whether to transmit, by the wireless transmitter, the alert and the patient identifier; and wherein at least one component out of the processor, the alert generator, the wireless transmitter, the memory, the monitor, the memory unit and the wireless receiver is connected to the thin sheet.

The present disclosure relates to the measurement of vital signs such as a respiratory rate or a heart rate. In particular, a system (1) for determining a vital sign of a subject (100), comprising an imaging unit (2) for obtaining video data of the subject, a marker (10, 20, 60, 61) directly or indirectly attached to a body of the subject, wherein the marker comprises a graphical pattern (11, 21), an image processing unit (3) for detecting said marker in said video data, and an analysis unit (4) adapted to extract a vital sign parameter related to the vital sign of the subject from said video data and to determine the vital sign from said vital sign parameter. Further aspects of the disclosure relate to a device and a method for determining a vital sign of a subject and a computer program for carrying out said method.

A vital sign monitoring system that can be used with multiple patients and utilizes historic patient data information for the patient to optimize the process of obtaining current vital sign measurements. Each patient is identified with a unique patient identification device that is automatically detected by the vital sign monitor. The vital sign monitor communicates with a medical records database and obtains historic patient data information for the patient identified by the patient identification device. The historic patient data information can be utilized by the vital sign monitor to set alarm limits for the vital sign measurements and automatically control the operation of an NIBP monitor for the specific patient.

A medical question contents automatic selection system for automatically selecting medical questions allocated to a patient from the medical questionnaire made by a medical professional. The medical question contents automatic selection system compares the correct answer rate threshold of the medical questions preset by the medical professional with the correct answer rate of the questions to the patient so as to estimate the educational level of the patient about health, compares the vital sign measurement value threshold preset by the medical professional with the vital sign measurement value of the patient so as to estimate the condition level of the patient, and automatically selects medical questions allocated to the patient depending on the educational level and the condition level of the patient. The medical question contents automatic selection system can allocate medical questions to the patient depending on the educational level of the patient about health and disorder condition level of the patient without troubling the medical professional.
