Diseño de una cápsula médica para análisis de los signos vitales por adquisición autónoma de señales
(2023) Aya mejía, Andrés Felipe; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo Antonio
At present, there is a worldwide need to make up for the lack of professional health personnel in clinics and hospitals, which is generating a delay in time to prioritize the particular critical care of each person who visits these institutions. This research and development is focused on assisting the tasks of health personnel with the design of a medical capsule that contributes to the process of primary patient care through the (i) automation of vital signs measurements, (ii) comfortable and safe auscultation area, (iii) monitoring of the patient general condition, (iv) fast response to a cardiorespiratory arrest event and (v) the ability to become a table for surgical procedures of medium and high complexity. This project is focused on meeting the needs of institutions with an advanced level of biomedical technology, in which it is necessary to take advantage of space, offer the best guarantees of asepsis to the patient, and guarantee the perfect functioning of the equipment to avoid adverse events. The project includes the legal guidelines related to the manufacture and commercialization of the device. The MEDPOD design is the first step in the construction and implementation of a medical capsule in a healthcare institution.
