Patient monitoring system using recognition of code

A patient monitoring system using recognition of a code, comprising:

• a patient measurement device configured to measure vital information of a patient, generate measurement data as an optical code, and output the optical code to a display, the patient measurement device comprising:
• (a) a measurement part configured to measure vital information of the patient;
• (b) a display configured to present the measured vital information;
• (c) a code generator configured to generate the measurement data as the optical code by encoding, into the optical code, (i) the vital information measured by the measurement part, (ii) patient identification information, (iii) measurement date and time, and (iv) identification information of the patient measurement device, wherein the optical code is either a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional code;
• and
• (d) a controller configured to control the code generator and the display to generate and display the optical code, wherein the controller is configured to cause the optical code to be displayed on a portion of a display screen of the display;
• a user terminal used for patient management in a hospital and configured to recognize the optical code output to the display of the patient measurement device, and transmit a recognition result to a server, the user terminal comprising:
• (e) a code recognition part configured to recognize the optical code using a light sensor or a camera;
• (f) a communication part configured to transmit the measurement data obtained as the recognition result of the code recognition part to the server securely using a hospital internal communication network in which a firewall and a security system are installed;
• and
• (g) a chart application program configured to record and manage a patient chart by communicating with the server, and to record the patient chart using the recognition result in accordance with the patient identification information;
• and
• the server configured to receive and store measurement data representing the vital information measured by the patient measurement device, and provide monitoring data to the user terminal, the server comprising:
• (h) a server computer configured to store a patient's basic information and the vital information for each patient for patient monitoring, perform real-time patient monitoring, and operate in a closed type over the hospital internal communication network;
• and
• (i) a web server connected to the server computer and configured to provide the monitoring data stored in the server computer to the user terminal using the hospital internal communication network;
• wherein the patient measurement device shares the measurement data with the user terminal by outputting the optical code, and the user terminal transmits the measurement data to the server over the hospital internal communication network.
