Perancangan Internet of Things Nurse Call System pada Area Rawat Inap Rumah Sakit Berbasis Arduino menggunakan Metode FIFO

Pada setiap rumah sakit atau fasilitas medis terdapat perawat yang bertanggung jawab atas perawatan suatu pasien. Para perawat ini mengawasi keadaan pasien selama masa pemulihannya atas penyakit atau cidera yang dideritanya. Pasien dalam kondisi tertentu terkadang membutuhkan bantuan perawat, bahkan dalam situasi gawat darurat pasien membutuhkan pertolongan segera. Sistem pemanggil perawat ini dirancang agar pasien bisa melakukan panggilan ke perawat dengan hanya menekan suatu tombol. Ketika pasien menekan tombol akan muncul indikasi pada suatu layar LCD yang terdapat di ruang perawat untuk menunjukkan pasien dari ruangan mana yang membutuhkan bantuan. Pengujian prototype alat dilakukan dengan membuat simulasi panggilan dari tempat tidur pasien dengan menekan tombol CALL 1 dan dari toilet dengan menekan tombol WC 1. Sistem merespon dengan segera menampilkan pemanggil secara real time di LCD dengan tidak ada delay waktu. LCD menampilkan pemanggil secara bergantian dan yang ditampilkan terlebih dahulu adalah yang pertama melakukan panggilan (metode FIFO).

Evaluation of a Network Switch with Whitelist-Based Packet Monitoring and Control in Hospital Networks

A "whitelist network switch (WLS)", which can monitor and filter packets based on a whitelist, is particularly effective for stronger information security in closed network environments, such as in factories. This paper focuses on the base network environment for a nurse call system within a large hospital. This network environment is of particular importance to security, and the types of network protocols used are limited. We note important points regarding the practical operation and effectiveness of WLS through two approaches: (i) test introduction into an existing, actual hospital network system; (ii) test introduction in an experimental nurse call system environment.

LOW-COST AUTOMATED NURSE CALL SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING PATIENT CARE USING LabVIEW

Nurse Call systems are used to signal nurses for medical assistance. Present day technology uses push buttons and room lamps integrated with liquid crystal displays (LCDs) at the nurse station in most hospitals in India. Such systems are not automated and also have the risk of false alarms due to mishandling by caretakers. This prototype uses an automated technology, when implemented monitors patients in critical care units continuously and detects specific arrhythmia conditions with the help of thresholds based on pre-set standards and the information is passed on to the nurse station only in case of an emergency thus allowing continuous monitoring of the patient. Since the system is centralized, the CODE BLUE team (Dedicated team in every hospital to attend patients during a cardiac emergency) is also alerted at the same time minimizing the delay in medical assistance. This system would be most useful in emergency conditions such as Cardiac arrest, thus increasing the chances of survival of a patient. For this project, LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) 2014 version (software) and National Instruments MyRIO (NI Reconfigurable Input/Output) hardware are used. On comparison with some of the present day nurse call systems, the proposed system is also economical in most of the developing countries such as in India.
