Wearable Auto-Event-Recording of Medical Nursing

The constant hard work of providing nursing care, including handling emergencies, often causes medical accidents in hospitals. This paper proposes a wearable auto-event-recording system of medical nursing in order to capture the events never to be overlooked for analyzing such accidents. Our main concern is userfriendliness of the system for nurses. We’ve prototyped wearable sensors, and conducted experiments. Experimental results show that, without disturbing nurses’ jobs, our sensors can record data, and reconstruct their nursing histories including the important events never recorded on their written nursing logs.
