Abstract
This present invention relates to a vital sign scanning apparatus that comprises a portal for individuals to pass through. The vital sign scanning apparatus detects the vital signs and other physiological conditions of a user passing through the portal which is comprised of two vertical sidewalls connected via a top wall or member. The sidewalls and/or top member are comprised of a plurality of integrated sensors including, without limitation, a heart rate sensor, SpO2 sensor, facial recognition scanner, and an infrared temperature sensor to detect the body temperature of the user passing through the portal. The sensors are in communication with a processor and a display device that displays the obtained vital sign values along with any abnormality notifications.
Claims20
A healthcare scanning portal comprising:
- a portal having a pair of generally upwardly extending walls and a connecting top or cover extending between the pair of walls to create a passageway;
- a plurality of sensors integrated into at least one of the pair of walls;
- a display provided on the portal;
- and
- a processor connected to the plurality of sensors, wherein the processor is connected to at least one database.
A method of using a healthcare scanning portal comprising the steps of:
- providing a portal, the portal having a first wall, a second wall and a top cover that connects the first and second walls, wherein the first and second walls comprise a plurality of sensors for scanning at least one vital sign or physiological information about an individual passing through the portal;
- activating the portal via a motion sensor;
- scanning the user for the at least one vital sign or physiological information;
- collecting the at least one vital sign or physiological information via the plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors are connected to a processor;
- displaying the at least one vital sign or physiological information received from the plurality of sensors;
- indicating whether passage through the portal by the individual is allowed or not;
- and
- triggering an alarm if the at least one vital sign or physiological information collected during the step of collecting is outside of a pre-determined range.
A scanning system for collecting a set of healthcare information, the scanning system comprising:
- a portal having an opening for allowing a passage of an individual through the portal;
- a plurality of sensors integrated into the portal, the plurality of sensors for collecting at least one vital sign information from the individual passing through the portal, the plurality of sensors in communication with a processor;
- a motion detector for sensing when the individual is near the portal and for activating the portal to begin scanning the individual;
- a display for displaying the set of healthcare information collected by the plurality of sensors;
- and
- at least one database in communication with the portal for comparing the set of healthcare information pertaining to the individual with a set of information in the at least one database.
