Vital Sign Collection

Challenges
 

Nurses handwrite patients’ vital signs first and then input those data into a computer, resulting in significant overhead, errors, and high costs. Besides, illegible or inaccurate handwriting may result in medical errors.

 

Solution

 
Vital Signs Measurement
Healthcare providers use equipment to measure patients’ body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and breathing rate.
 
Vital Signs Input

• Healthcare providers input those data into Rugline mobile device, which then sends it to the hospital’s back-end system via 4G or Wi-Fi wireless connectivity in real time. The system automatically tells whether these data are in normal range.
• Replacing manual data entry with electronic data management improves accuracy in healthcare process.

 
Vital Signs Analysis

• Rugline healthcare software will record a patient’s vital signs in line chart and transmit it to the hospital’s HIS system wirelessly.
