A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF SAFETY AND BASIC LIFE FUNCTIONS OF PATIENTS

The method for continuous monitoring of safety and basic vital functions of patients is characterized in that the designated monitored facility is within the radio beacon network (RD) coverage in such a way that in every part of the monitored rooms (PMM) diagnostic band (OD) and fall detector (DU) located on the hip belt, provided for each patient (PD), communicate with at least three beacons (RD), performing continuous monitoring via the central beacon (RC) and the IT system monitoring centre (ICMS), in the form of current information transmitted to medical staff (PM) equipped with bands (OP) informing on the whereabouts of patients (PD) in monitored rooms (PMM). In the event of an alarm signal triggered by a fall signal being sent by a fall detector (DU) and/or a signal sent by a diagnostic band (OD) concerning an exceeded threshold value of the measured blood pressure, pulse, patient's (PD) body temperature, or ambient humidity change signal, or concerning the event of leaving the facility by patients (PD), the signal will initiate the alarm procedure in the scope of providing assistance. The system as per the invention includes fixed beacons (RS) in monitored rooms (PMM) located in fixed mapped locations, where patients (PD) equipped with diagnostic bands (OD) and fall detectors (DU) reside along with medical personnel (PM) and/or doctors (L) equipped with personnel bands (OP). In a separate room there is a central beacon (RC) connected by a communication line with the IT system monitoring centre (ICMS). The diagnostic bands (OD), fall detectors (DU), staff bands (OP) and fixed beacons (RS) with interfaces (CAN) via radio modules (MR) installed in them are connected with each other by means of a bidirectional wireless communication (LBP). L'invention concerne un procédé de surveillance continue de fonctions sécuritaires et vitales de base de patients, caractérisé en ce que l'installation de surveillance désignée se trouve à l'intérieur de la couverture du réseau de balises radio (RD) de telle sorte que, dans chaque partie des chambres surveillées (PMM), la bande de diagnostic (OD) et le détecteur de chute (DU) situés sur la ceinture, prévus pour chaque patient (PD), communiquent avec au moins trois balises (RD), effectuent une surveillance continue par l'intermédiaire de la balise centrale (RC) et du centre de surveillance de système IT (ICMS), sous la forme d'informations actuelles transmises à un personnel médical (PM) équipé de bandes (OP) informant
