SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE

摘要

A system for providing patient care includes acquiring , consolidating , distributing , storing and displaying medical data using cell phone platforms and non- proprietary hardware and software modules. The system includes sensing devices , acquisition devices , network appliances , cloud computing and storage , and presentation devices. Sensing devices are connected to acquisition devices via wired or wireless connections. Sensing acquisition devices can be used in a caregiver facility and in an outpatient environment and can connect to the cloud via cell phone (3G/4G) networks. Clinical data is sent in encrypted messages having only the header encoded using a standard scripting language, such as Lua. Presentation devices include computers, tablets, cell phones , and wall- mounted displays and can be located anywhere, enabling greater accessibility of patient data by caregivers.
