OBJECTIVEIndependently research and develop the wireless network system to monitor clinical nursing information in order to meet the needs of clinical care.

METHODSThe system consists of two sections which are the bedside machines and the central station. Advanced wireless network communications, microelectronics and computer technology are applied to continuously monitor various indicators of patients in intensive case units and general wards. Then the information was sent to the central monitoring station, which can automatically classify the data.

RESULTSThe system includes 4 subsystems which are automatic monitoring of urine output, automatic monitoring of infusion, automatic measurement of patient body weight and automatic management device of postoperative drainage tubes, which can provide essential indicators for major surgeries and critical patients.

CONCLUSIONThe system has strong practicality. which can provide information for clinical care, ensuring the safety of medical care.
