Abstract

Nurses response time to patients call has not been the best as a result of the stress and manual nursing call systems available in many hospitals. This situation has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among patients admitted. This study seeks to provide an improvement on already existing nurse call systems. Despite the existence of nurse call systems that make use of audible signal, nurses still need to manually search for patients who called for their assistance. Hence, this study designed and implemented an automatic nurse call system that uses an audiovisual signal to assist nurses find the location of the patient and reason for admission. An experimental approach was adopted while an electronic device based on Arduino board was designed and constructed. The system operates on 5VDC and can be powered with a DC source operating within the range of 9-32V. To test the communication efficiency of the design, systems data were recorded on system's response time. The average response time of 0.24 seconds was obtained with 15 sampled inputs.

创新护士呼叫系统在医疗保健中心的病人

护士对病人呼叫的响应时间一直不是最好的，因为压力和人工护理呼叫系统在许多医院可用。这种情况在住院患者中引起了很多不满。本研究旨在对现有的护士呼叫系统进行改进。尽管存在利用声音信号的护士呼叫系统，但护士仍然需要手动搜索寻求帮助的患者。因此，本研究设计并实现了一个自动护士呼叫系统，该系统使用视听信号来帮助护士找到患者的位置和入院原因。采用实验方法，设计并搭建了一个基于Arduino板的电子设备。该系统工作在5VDC上，可以用9-32V范围内的直流电源供电。为了测试设计的通信效率，记录了系统响应时间的系统数据。15个采样输入的平均响应时间为0.24秒。
