A first electrode and a second electrode are attached to a subject. A processor module acquires physiological information of the subject based on biopotential that are detected by the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively. A housing has a battery housing member for housing a primary battery which supplies an electric power to the processor module. The processor module is attachable to and detachable from the housing.

Sensor, sensor module, and sensor housing

Examples described herein include sensor devices for measuring a parameter of a user. The sensor devices may include a reusable portion (e.g., a sensor). The sensor devices may include one or more weakened portions that may fracture on removal of a portion of the sensor device from the user. Fracturing the weakened portions may expose the reusable portion (e.g., the sensor). Accordingly, the reusable portion may be more readily observed and collected for reuse.

Sensor devices having weakened portions and methods for using same

A monitoring system monitoring health conditions of multiple many users wearing sensor devices. Each of the sensor devices includes a first measurement section attached to a user and measuring first biological information of the user, a storage section storing information for identifying the user, an analysis section analyzing a measurement result of the first measurement section to determine that the measurement result matches with a first condition and a communication section transmitting a determination result indicating the match with the first condition received from the analysis section and information for identifying the user to communication devices located at equal intervals.

Sensor device and monitoring system

A sensor system including: a wristband () which has a storage unit storing patient identification information so that a patient can be identified by the patient identification information; and a sensor () which can measure vital information of the patient; wherein: the wristband () can transmit the patient identification information to the sensor () by human body communication through a surface of a body of the patient in a state in which the wristband () and the sensor () are attached to the patient; and the sensor () associates the patient identification information with the vital information and then transmits the vital information including the patient identification information to a bedside monitor

Sensor system

A physiological information management system includes sensors to be attached to patients to acquire physiological information of the patients and a mobile device. The mobile device includes a patient information acquiring section configured to acquire patient IDs identifying the patients, a sensor information acquiring section configured to acquire sensor IDs identifying the sensors, a controller configured to associate the patient IDs and the sensor IDs with each other, a wireless communicating section configured to receive sensor signals corresponding to the physiological information, from the sensors identified by the sensor IDs associated with the patient IDs, and a displaying section configured to display the physiological information based on the sensor signals.

Mobile device, sensor, physiological information management method, and computer readable medium storing physiological information processing program

Examples described herein include detection devices and systems which may provide monitoring in accordance with an analysis mode which may be selected in accordance with a severity of disease of the user. Analysis modes used by detection devices described herein may further be changed in accordance with user and/or environmental conditions.

Detection devices and monitoring systems including detection devices

A sensor () including: an acquisition unit () which can acquire patient identification information so that a patient can be identified by the acquired patient identification information; a storage unit () which stores the patient identification information acquired by the acquisition unit (); a detection unit () which can detect vital information of the patient; an association unit () which associates the patient identification information stored in the storage unit (), with the vital information; and a transmission unit () which can transmit the vital information including the associated patient identification information, to a bedside monitor.

Sensor

A vital signs sensor includes an identifier storage device that stores an identifier of a subject, and a signal processing device that acquires a vital sign from the subject, and that wirelessly transmits the vital sign and the identifier that is stored in the identifier storage device, with correlating the vital sign with the identifier, wherein the identifier storage device has a structure where the identifier storage device is attachable to and detachable from the signal processing device.

Vital signs sensor, signal processing device, and identifier storage device

A relay device () including: an authentication unit () which authenticates a sensor present within a predetermined range; an acquisition unit () which can acquire, from the sensor authenticated by the authentication unit (), vital information of a patient measured by the sensor; a storage unit () in which a bed ID associated with a bed is stored; and a transmission unit () which associates the bed ID with the vital information acquired by the acquisition unit () and then transmits the vital information including the bed ID to a bedside monitor.

Relay device

To provide a medical service support device, a medical service support method and a medical service support system capable of properly watching patients in accordance with states of the patients. A medical service support device includes an electrocardiogram sensor attached to a patient and measuring electrocardiogram data of the patient, an analysis unit analyzing the electrocardiogram data, an acceleration sensor detecting a motion of the patient, and an attention calling unit transmitting attention calling information and patient identification information for specifying the patient toward the external portion of the device when it is determined that the patient is in a REM sleep state based on an analysis result by the analysis unit as well as determined that the patient has moved to a given state based on a detection result by the acceleration sensor.

Medical service support device, medical service support system and medical service support method

A biological information monitoring system includes: a first monitoring device which includes a first displaying section and a first connector; a second monitoring device which includes a second connector; and a cable. The second monitoring device includes: a signal receiving section configured to receive a measurement signal related to biological information; and a second displaying section on which information corresponding to the measurement signal is displayed. When communication between the first and second connectors via the cable is established, the second displaying section is set to a non-display state, and the information corresponding to the measurement signal is displayed on the first displaying section.
