10. Wireless Patient Monitoring System

11. 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 settings

12.  6’ x 2’ egg crate foam mattress pad  2 sheets of 6’ x 2’ plywood  12 contact switches  Microcontroller  Miscellaneous assembly hardware  Power source (lithium battery) Bed: Materials

13.  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: Materials Switch Trigger

14. 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.

15. First Design New Design

16. Prevention of accidents through awareness of patient status, accurate monitoring of position, temperature, and orientation Patient: Objective

17.  Use a microcontroller to wirelessly transmit information from:  Temperature sensor  Accelerometer and tilt sensors  Indicate body orientation and location Plan

18. Accelerometer and tilt sensors- Specifications: for each and picture Temperature sensor

19. Patient Original image obtained from: http://www.mrprotocols.com/oldsite/MRI/information.htm Tilt Sensors Armband Patient Rig Supports mobility Unobtrusive location Lightweight design Accelerometer

20. Patient: Armband Image obtained form: http://mp3.about.com/od/iPod-MP3-Player-Accessories/tp/Top-5-Ipod-Armbands-Listen-To-Digital-Music-On-Your-Ipod-While-You-Exercise.htm  Easy to maneuver and lightweight  iPod Armband houses the enclosure of parts  Altered iPod Armband will house enclosure

21.  To 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 Nurse’s Station: Objective

22.  Through LabVIEW, we 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

23.  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  USB dongle is used to integrate the transceiver with the computer Nurse’s Station: Parts
