Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an intelligent nursing care device, which is a wearable nursing care device and comprises a monitoring unit that acquires a position information and a health condition information of a wearer in real time, and a control unit that determines, based on the position information and the health information acquired by the monitoring unit, a safety condition and a health condition of the wearer, and transmits a determination result to at least one of a cloud server and a monitoring terminal. By wearing the intelligent nursing care device, an intelligent nursing care service and safety tracking service are provided to a wearer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An intelligent nursing care device, the intelligent nursing care device being a wearable nursing care device, comprising:
a monitoring unit that acquires position information and health condition information of a wearer in real time; and
a control unit that determines, based on the position information and the health information acquired by the monitoring unit, whether the position information exceeds a predetermined safety distance range, and a health condition of the wearer, and transmits a determination result to at least one of a cloud server and a monitoring terminal;
the intelligent nursing care device further comprising an online pharmacy unit comprising a communication module and a display panel,
wherein the online pharmacy unit communicates with a remote pharmacy system via the communication module, and displays a medicine dosage instruction provided by the remote pharmacy system on the display panel, and the medicine dosage instruction comprises a medicine type, amount, a medicine taking time, and a medicine taking frequency;
the online pharmacy unit further comprises a speech generation device, the online pharmacy unit determines, based on an actual dosage situation acquired by a camera of the monitoring unit, whether the actual dosage situation coincides with the medicine dosage instruction displayed on the display panel, and
when the actual dosage situation does not perfectly coincide with the medicine dosage instruction, the speech generation device outputs a notification speech until the actual dosage situation perfectly coincides with the medicine dosage instruction.

2. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 1 , wherein
the monitoring unit comprises an electronic fence and a biosensor,
the electronic fence comprises a camera and a positioning module, and the electronic fence acquires in real time the position information of the wearer at a current time, and
the biosensor monitors a human body of the wearer in order to acquire the health condition information of the wearer.

3. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 2 , wherein
the biosensor is disposed on a back plate that is directly contacted with the human body, and the health condition information is acquired in real time via the biosensor.

4. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 2 , wherein
the control unit determines the position information acquired by the positioning module, when determining that the position information exceeds the predetermined safety distance range, the control unit generates a first alarm signal, and
the control unit further compares the health condition information acquired by the biosensor with a normal health index stored in a database, when the health condition information exceeding the normal health index, the control unit generates a second alarm signal.

5. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 4 , wherein
the control unit outputs a warning tone simultaneously with a generation of the first alarm signal, and
after generating the second alarm signal, the control unit automatically transmits the health condition information at the current time to the cloud server and the monitoring terminal.

6. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 5 , wherein
when the control unit does not generate the second alarm signal, the control unit periodically transmits the health condition information acquired by the biosensor to the cloud server, and the control unit communicates with the cloud server in a wireless manner.

7. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 2 , wherein
the positioning module further has a navigation function, and
when acquiring the position information of the wearer at the current time and a destination together with the camera, the positioning module provides a scheduled route that guides the wearer to the destination based on the position information of the wearer at the current time.

8. The intelligent nursing care device according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning module acquires the position information of the wearer at the current time, and the position module takes a screenshot of an image taken by the camera and periodically transmits the screenshot to the monitoring terminal.
