Abstract

The invention relates to a system that has been designed for use in closed healthcare environments, formed by multiple hardware elements (wristlet, repeaters, telephone concentrator, locating beacons, etc.), which enables the person wearing the wristlet to establish a mobile voice communication with healthcare personnel. The invention can also be used to ascertain the body temperature of the user and also to determine if the user has had an accident, such as a fall, blackout, etc. The system can locate the person within the centre when the wearer has had an accident, when the wearer makes a call or simply when required by healthcare personnel.

Description

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Titulo de Ia Invención: Dispositivo inalámbrico de control remoto de constantes vitales y movimiento dotado de voz bidireccional.Title of the Invention: Wireless device for remote control of vital signs and movement equipped with two-way voice.
Sector de Ia Técnica: Telecomunicaciones. Explicación: Es un sistema diseñado para Ia correcta atención a personas mayores y discapacitados en centros cerrados.Technical Sector: Telecommunications. Explanation: It is a system designed for the correct attention to elderly and disabled people in closed centers.
Consta de los siguientes elementos:It consists of the following elements:
- Un gestor de comunicaciones desarrollado sobre un PC que controla todo el sistema. Incorpora un repetidor Bluetooth y una placa telefónica. Dispone ,también, de elementos de conexión a Ia telefonía tradicional fija o inalámbrica.- A communications manager developed on a PC that controls the entire system. It incorporates a Bluetooth repeater and a telephone board. It also has connection elements to traditional fixed or wireless telephony.
- Uno o varios dispositivos en forma de pulsera que internamente contienen un procesador Bluetooth con su kit de manos libres ,un acelerómetro ,un sensor de temperatura, un sensor de uso ,un botón de llamada y un botón de alarma. Batería y carcasa antivandálica y water resistant. - Uno o varios repetidores Bluetooth conectados al gestor de telecomunicaciones por medio Ia tecnología PLC ( Power Une Comm.) o conexión de datos por Ia red eléctrica . Componen Ia cobertura Bluetooth del centro- One or several wrist-shaped devices that internally contain a Bluetooth processor with its hands-free kit, an accelerometer, a temperature sensor, a usage sensor, a call button and an alarm button. Battery and vandal-proof and water resistant housing. - One or more Bluetooth repeaters connected to the telecommunications manager by means of the PLC (Power Une Comm.) Technology or data connection by the electricity network. Compose the center Bluetooth coverage
- Uno o varios marcadores o balizas Bluetooth fijos que envían su posición a Ia pulsera .- One or several markers or fixed Bluetooth beacons that send their position to the bracelet.
- Opcionalmente se pueden utilizar uno o varios biosensores con conexión Bluetooth ( tensiómetro , pluxiosímetro, electrocardiograma... )- Optionally you can use one or several biosensors with Bluetooth connection (tensiometer, pluxiosimeter, electrocardiogram ...)
Cuando Ia persona que porta Ia pulsera pulsa el botón de llamada ,el botón de alarma o se cae, el sistema se activa pidiendo a Ia pulsera comunicación de voz y localizador!. Las asistencias reciben en sus teléfonos inalámbricos un mensaje con el tipo de petición ( llamada ,alarma o caída) ,1a persona que ha generado Ia petición y su localización en el edificio. Una vez recibido el mensaje Ia asistencia opta por comunicarse por voz con Ia persona observada o acudir a su presencia.When the person wearing the bracelet presses the call button, the alarm button or falls, the system is activated asking the bracelet for voice communication and locator !. The assistants receive a message on their cordless phones with the type of request (call, alarm or drop), the person who has generated the request and its location in the building. Once the message has been received, the assistance chooses to communicate by voice with the person observed or come to his presence.
La información de Ia persona observada puede realizarse a petición de las asistencias sin que medie Ia generación de petición .Es decir ,si un asistente necesita ponerse en contacto con Ia persona observada ,necesite su localización ,quiere conocer su temperatura corporal ,si está utilizando Ia pulsera o no(sensor de uso) o quiera información de los biosensores puede realizar dicha petición al sistema en cualquier momento.The information of the person observed can be made at the request of the assistance without the generation of the request. That is, if an assistant needs to contact the person observed, needs his location, he wants to know his body temperature, if he is using the bracelet or not (use sensor) or want information from the biosensors can make this request to the system at any time.

HOJA DE SUSTITUCIÓN (REGLA 26) Diferenciamos la petición de alarma y de llamada ya que ésta no sólo sirve para Ia generación de una comunicación de voz interna si no que permite al portador de Ia pulsera emitir /recibir llamadas hacia/desde el exterior del centro.SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) We differentiate the alarm and call request since it not only serves for the generation of an internal voice communication but also allows the wearer of the bracelet to send / receive calls to / from outside the center.
El flujo de los datos es el siguiente:The data flow is as follows:
- Cuando Ia pulsera genera una petición se comunica con el repetidor más cercano enviándole sus datos incluyendo Ia posición del marcador más cercano.- When the bracelet generates a request, it communicates with the nearest repeater by sending its data including the position of the nearest marker.
- El repetidor se conecta con gestor de comunicaciones vía PLC .- The repeater is connected to the communications manager via PLC.
- El gestor se pone en contacto con el teléfono inalámbrico de Ia asistencia dándole los datos de Ia pulsera llamante.- The manager contacts the wireless telephone of the assistance giving the data of the calling bracelet.
- Si Ia asistencia así Io decide marca un código en el teléfono inalámbrico que indica al gestor que abra un canal de voz.- If the assistance thus decides, dial a code on the cordless telephone that tells the manager to open a voice channel.
- El gestor abre el canal de voz con Ia pulsera por medio del repetidor.- The manager opens the voice channel with the bracelet through the repeater.
Ventajas de Ia invención con relación al estado de Ia técnica anteriorAdvantages of the invention in relation to the prior art
Los sistemas actuales de interfonía y "llamada a enfermeras" son ,en general ,sistemas fijados a las paredes de los habitáculos con conexiones cableadas y reactivos ,es decir ,sólo se activan cuando el usuario decide usarlo.Current intercom systems and "call to nurses" are, in general, systems fixed to the walls of the rooms with wired connections and reagents, that is, they are only activated when the user decides to use it.
Ventajas del sistema: - Incrementa Ia calidad de Ia atención sobre todo con Ia detección de caídas.Advantages of the system: - Increases the quality of care, especially with the detection of falls.
- Es un sistema reactivo y proactivo ,es decir ,además de activarse cuando el usuario Io decide pueden generarse alarmas sin actuación del usuario.- It is a reactive and proactive system, that is, in addition to being activated when the user decides, alarms can be generated without user action.
- Favorece Ia autonomía de las personas observadas que pueden activar una petición en cualquier lugar. - Ya que Ia comunicación de los datos se realiza con el sistema inalámbrico- It favors the autonomy of the people observed who can activate a petition anywhere. - Since the communication of the data is done with the wireless system
Bluetooth y por medio del sistema PLC no se necesita realizar ningún tipo de cableado por Io que no necesitará realizar obra alguna para su instalación. Significa que podrá ser utilizado en centros nuevos y antiguos.Bluetooth and by means of the PLC system it is not necessary to carry out any type of wiring so that you will not need to carry out any work for its installation. It means that it can be used in new and old centers.
