Abstract

See full text

A medical patient is issued an identification device that emits a first wireless signal providing a patient identification. A plurality of data collectors are placed at different locations in a medical facility to receive the first wireless signal when the patient is nearby. A separate patient event record is generated whenever one of the data collectors receives the first wireless signal and each such record contains the patient identification, time of receipt, and identification of the receiving data collector. The plurality of patient event records are analyzed to derive a report about activity of the patient within the medical facility. For example the report may indicate bathroom activity of the patient or how far and often the patient walked around the medical facility. The reports are useful to monitor and evaluate the patient's medical condition, recovery and security.
