Wenpo Yao, Min Wu, Jun Wang · 2018
Centralized management of medical equipment is an approach to improve the utilization rate of and meet the emergency requirements for medical equipment, and IOT (In-ternet of things)is introduced to facilitate intelligent centralized management system in our contribution. In the IOT management platform, temperature and humidity sensors uninterruptedly collect warehouse' environmental parameters, and real-time information about leased medical equipment is obtained through sensors for position and running status. The IOT management platform on the basis of Wi-Fi technology is preferred for its extensive network coverage, mature hardware and software facilities. High power consumption, a disadvantage of Wi-Fi-based IOT, is alleviated by appropriate power management. IOT management platform, therefore, resolves issues of medical equipment centralized management center, improves the operation efficiency and reduces manpower and material resources.
