Pazienteen segimendua eraikin anitzeko eta tunelez konektatutako ospitale gune batean

Abstract

When the situation of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) improves, they are transported to other units. Therefore, knowing their location is strategic for properly planning intra-hospital transports and resource management. This work presents a patient monitoring application in a multibuilding hospital, specifically at the University Hospital of Navarra (UHN). The proposed systems are based on the concept of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) using long-range (LoRaWAN) and nearfield communication (NFC) technologies. The location of the device technologies is based on the 3D Ray Launching software developed and radio measurements performed in the hospital area. Consequently, two Gateway modules are needed to enable communication across the UHN complex. The application shows the flow of movements of ICU patients around the UHN complex.
