Unconfined mobile Bluetooth nursing and daily data collection
Xuanwen Luo, Qiang Cheng · 2004
The increasing nursing shortage makes people turn to cutting-edge technology. Nursing systems utilizing the Bluetooth technique have appeared as an alternative to the shortage. They give patients the freedom of moving around. However, the mobility is confined inside the ward, hospital or house. This paper proposed a nursing system prototype by making use of the existing cell phone network. It has flexibility and allows the patients to go anywhere they like while still providing the same good medical care service. As an additional benefit, the proposed prototype can free people from the trivial typing burden in computer data management.
