摘要 |
The present invention relates to a warning system and a method for monitoring the availability of medical aids for a patient. The warning system comprises a first signal transmitter, which can be mounted on the aid or on a container for the aid or can be integrated in the aid or container and which has a transmission unit for transmitting first electromagnetic signals, and a second signal transmitter which can be worn by the patient and which has a warning device for outputting a warning signal which can be perceived by the patient, a reception unit for receiving the first electromagnetic signals transmitted by the transmission unit in the first signal transmitter, and a control unit which, when the first electromagnetic signals are received or when a prescribable reception strength for the first electromagnetic signals is undershot and/or when a particular item of information transmitted with the first electromagnetic signals is received, actuates the warning device to output the warning signal. The present warning system reliably draws a patient's attention to when medical aids which are important to him are no longer directly available.
