Design and Implementation of Nursing Record Assist System based on Hospital Falls and Pressure Ulcer Monitoring Method

Electronic medical record systems have been developed for efficient financial management of hospitals, personnel, and medical services. However, they require a large amount of information input and medical staff to perform various related tasks in addition to medical tasks. In this paper, we propose a system that can recognize a patient's walking behavior, falls, and pressure ulcers and store them in the system server together with photographs to support nursing records. We also propose a method of recognizing falls and pressure ulcers using the proposed system. Experiments in an actual hospital environment confirm that the proposed system is effective. In addition, the recognition accuracy of falls and pressure ulcers was measured, and it was confirmed that the fall recognition accuracy was 83 % and the pressure ulcer recognition accuracy was 97 %.
