Projects can focus in three main areas Prevention Diagnosis Curing
What is Digital Health?
Prevent further injuries Wireless reduces risks Collect information from patient
Location Temperature
Wireless Monitoring System

Choose Wireless system because: Filled all digital health requirements Whole class could contribute Relevant use in real world Very broad consumer base New idea
Results
To construct a wireless system containing: a hospital bed computer monitor a patient sensor rig
which would alert an outside party of a patient’s position and medical status.

Bed Monitoring: Objective
Bed sensors determine if patient is in bed
Switches in a grid pattern are used to determine the patients location
Can be used in various hospice settings
6’ x 2’ egg crate foam mattress pad
2 sheets of 6’ x 2’ plywood 12 contact switches Miscellaneous assembly hardware
Bed: Materials
Contact Switches The switches are constantly
open unless depressed by a patient on the bed.
This will send a high(1) signal to the microcontroller
Bed Process
Switch
Trigger
Bed Monitoring: Design
One sheet of plywood serves as a base, while the switches are mounted on top of it.
The second sheet of plywood has holes drilled in it. When the switches are depressed, they are flush with
the top sheet of plywood. Egg crate foam pad rests on top of the plywood to
create a comfortable sleeping environment.
Prevention of accidents through awareness of
patient status, accurate monitoring of position,
temperature, and orientation
Patient: Objective
Use a microcontroller to wirelessly transmit information from: Temperature sensor Accelerometer and tilt sensors Indicate body orientation and location

Through LabVIEW, we can make a presentable way to show the nurse the information on each patient that needs to be monitored.
We take data from the sensors taken from the other groups and present them in an organized manner
To do this, we use a wireless receiver in order to gather the data from their sensors
Nurse’s Station: Objective
LabVIEW will: Receive data from transceiver Parse the sensor data from the
data packet Utilize algorithms to filter
accelerometer data Display the patient's information to
the user
Nurse’s Station: The Plan
LabVIEW is used to display the information obtained from the patient and bed sensors
Transceiver will request and receive packets of data from all the sensors on the network
Nurse’s Station: Parts
Goal was to shop efficiently Buy only essential parts Buy the cheapest compatible parts Research each part individually

Nurse’s Station
A wireless system has several advantages such as: Patient safety Low maintenance Ease of mobility for the
caretaker/patient Capacity for transmitting information
No need for a bulky monitoring station
Advantages
Satisfies a demand for monitoring: Unattended falls, heart attacks, fevers,
and several other medical mishaps Societal demand for this system due
to staffing constraints Applicable in a home setting Easy interface with future link to app
on portable phone
Advantages
Addition of different sensors Heart rate EKG
Farther transmission range Ability to monitor more patients
Possible Improvements
