WIRELESS BEACON DEVICES USED TO TRACK MEDICAL INFORMATION AT A HOSPITAL

摘要

There are provided systems and methods for wireless beacon devices used to track medical information at a hospital. A hospital may set up one or more wireless beacons throughout the hospital that may connect with various devices when the devices are within a proximity range from one or more of the beacons. The devices may be connected to a user or an item within the hospital. Thus, when the device connects to a beacon, the device may be associated with a location for the beacon and instructions associated with the user or item may be retrieved. The instruction may relate to the user, such as medical histories for the user, required testing or medication for the user, or a medical chart of current medical care provided for the user. The instruction may also relate to items, such as locations for surgical equipment, use of medical equipment, and administration of medicines.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a beacon monitoring module comprising at least one hardware processor that accesses first check-in information comprising a first connection between a first device and a first wireless beacon at a first location within a hospital, determines that the first device is in proximity to the first wireless beacon using the first check-in information, and accesses a first instruction for a first user associated with the first device using the first check-in information and the first location; a database stored to a non-transitory memory that stores the first check-in information and the first instructions; and a network interface component that receives the first check-in information and communicates the first instruction to a second device for a second user at the hospital.
