Description

Home Health Interactive Devices

technical field

The invention relates to a home health care interactive device, in particular to a medical tool suitable for communication equipment.

Background technique

Home health care is a very important issue for modern people. The most important issues are as follows:

1. The current population structure is aging and the number of children is decreasing, and the demand for care is greatly increased.

2. Due to overwork and increased mental stress, modern people have no time to go to the hospital to take care of their health.

3. Changes in diet and lifestyle lead to various chronic diseases and tend to age.

4. There are nursing needs, but there are no good auxiliary tools to provide simple and effective nursing services.

5. The price of care services on the market is too expensive to care for most people in need.

Therefore, home health care should start from daily life, and don't wait until the condition is serious before hospitalization.

Basically, when going to the hospital to see a doctor, the doctor will first ask some questions (for example: whether there is a fever, where is the pain, or use a stethoscope to check the heartbeat, etc.), as reference data for judgment. Therefore, measuring whether there is a fever, how high the fever is, and whether the heartbeat is normal, these basic reference data are an important basis for doctors to judge the condition.

It is not difficult to see that medical equipment is a very important medical tool for doctors and patients. Because appropriate medical equipment can allow doctors to judge the severity of the current disease, and also allow doctors to find out the underlying cause of the patient during the initial diagnosis. However, when you go to the hospital to see a doctor, it is inevitable that the doctor will listen to the heartbeat with a stethoscope. When the cold receiver touches the skin, you can't help but shiver. When a doctor uses a stethoscope to help a patient see a doctor, it is always inevitable to touch the patient's body, so that it is easy to cause some misunderstandings and cause medical disputes.

The importance of medical equipment is indescribable for both doctors and patients, but at present, patients must go to the hospital to see a doctor when they are sick. In this case, it is necessary to use a lot of manpower and material resources. The cost is very considerable, and it also causes a waste of medical resources, and it cannot provide medical care for patients in the shortest time (golden time). Fighting for the timeliness of diagnosis and treatment is a great harm to patients.

Therefore, how to conceive and manufacture a device that can receive the most professional advice and evaluation from medical staff in daily life is an extremely important issue at present.
