Abstract
Current traditional physiological monitoring is accomplished by individual cardiogram monitor device attached to each patient’s bed. A nurse will have to frequently monitor the vital signs at patient’s bedside, which is inefficient and time consuming. Although some hospitals have deployed the central monitoring system, it still has space limit to the nurses and high cost. Our research work is to develop a mobile nurse information system with efficient physiological monitoring for patient based on iPad. Patient’s real-time physiological signals captured by the physiological monitoring system are integrated to the mobile nurse information system. Nurses could get just-in-time access to the data of the physiological monitoring system at anywhere through the clinical use of the mobile nurse information system. Trial version in our hospital showed that the system is feasible and efficient enough to apply in clinical settings.
