Expected effect
1. Protection of the medical team against unexpected patient behavior
The first is to protect the medical staff from sudden behavior of the patient. In fact, this part is also the most important part of our team. indirectly through IOT mattresses or weight detection sensors, and directly through restraint systems to protect the medical staff from unexpected behavior of the patient. However, it is not easy to carry it out in the bed, so it remains a challenge whether it will be a great help to those in the actual field. This will be discussed in detail in the Challenges section.
2. Protection of the patient against unexpected behavior (prevention of safety accidents such as self-inflicted suicide)
The second is to protect the patient from unexpected behavior.
This unexpected behavior acts means such as self-harm and suicide. As mentioned above, mentally ill people often attempt self-harm. Although it would not be easy to prevent all of this through the bed, a relatively simple yet inexpensive tool that a weight sensing sensor was used to solve the problem of leaving patients and the problem of self-harm, suicide, and transmission of infection.
3. Minimize patient contact
The third is to minimize contact with patients. This is done through the IOT matrix. In fact, minimizing contact between medical staff and patients may be the easiest way to protect them. However, face-to-face and collective activities may be necessary, as the target is a special situation where he or she is mentally ill. IOT mattresses also have cost issues or conflicts between the magnet and electronic devices mentioned above. This will be discussed in detail in the Challenges section.
4. Rapid detection and measurement of symptoms through patient body monitoring
The last is to quickly detect and measure symptoms through the patient's physical monitoring. Basically, all treatment activities are based on the cooperation of patients. However, this may not be the case for mentally ill people. For example, you can intentionally hide your symptoms or have difficulty expressing your symptoms. Our team tried to solve this problem through an IOT mattress.
