With the development of information technology, smart healthcare is becoming a trend in the medical industry. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals, as an advanced wireless data collection device, have broad application prospects in the field of smart healthcare.
The main applications of mobile healthcare handheld terminals in smart healthcare are as follows:
- Mobile care
Mobile care refers to the use of mobile terminal devices by healthcare professionals to obtain patient information anytime and anywhere and provide care to patients. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can be used in conjunction with barcodes and RFID wristbands to quickly collect and query information such as patient identity information, medical history information, and care records, helping healthcare professionals improve work efficiency and ensure the safety and privacy needs of patients.
- Drug traceability
Drug traceability refers to the use of information technology to track and record the entire process of drug production, distribution, and use. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can quickly read drug barcode information to achieve dynamic tracking of drug flow information, ensuring drug quality and safety.
- Drug dispensing
Drug dispensing refers to preparing the corresponding drugs according to the doctor’s prescription and handing them to the patient. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can receive electronic prescription information and quickly and accurately complete drug dispensing according to prescription information, improving staff efficiency.
- Medical waste management
Medical waste refers to waste generated in medical activities, including infectious waste, pathological waste, and chemical waste. Medical waste is highly hazardous and requires standardized management. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can use RFID identification technology to manage medical waste intelligently, ensuring that the entire process is traceable and closed-loop regulated.
- Patient health management
Patient health management refers to the use of information technology to monitor, analyze, and manage the health status of patients. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can be used for remote monitoring of patient vital signs, recording patient daily activities, and providing patients with personalized health advice, helping patients improve their health level.
- Medical equipment management
Medical equipment management refers to the effective maintenance, use, and management of medical equipment. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can be used for real-time tracking, regular maintenance, and safety management of medical equipment to ensure the normal operation of medical equipment.
- Medical data analysis
Medical data analysis refers to the collection, collation, and analysis of medical data to identify potential patterns of diseases, assess the quality of medical services, and formulate medical policies. Mobile healthcare handheld terminals can be used to collect medical data to provide basic data for medical data analysis.
