BedSentry - IoT-Based Emergency Room Patient Tracking

Project's logo

Overview

BedSentry is an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solution designed to optimize Emergency Room (ER) efficiency by automating patient entry and exit tracking. By leveraging strategically placed sensors and real-time data collection, BedSentry estimates patient stay duration, streamlines patient flow management, and enhances decision-making for healthcare providers.

Features

  • Automated Tracking: BedSentry eliminates manual patient tracking by using weight sensors to detect patient entry and exit.
  • Real-Time Data: The system continuously collects data, providing up-to-date information on patient occupancy and bed availability.
  • Patient Stay Estimation: Based on historical data and current occupancy, BedSentry estimates how long a patient is likely to stay.
  • Decision Support: Healthcare providers can make informed decisions about bed allocation, resource allocation, and patient prioritization.
  • Scalable and Adaptable: BedSentry can be deployed in various healthcare settings, from small clinics to large hospitals.

Technologies Used

  • Programming Language: Dart (for the BedSentry application)
  • Database: Connects to a database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) to store patient data and occupancy information.
  • Weight Sensors: Interacts with weight sensors placed on hospital beds.
  • IoT Communication: Utilizes MQTT or other protocols for communication between sensors and the central system.
  • Frontend: Built using Flutter for a responsive and user-friendly interface.
