报告摘要：

Early detection andintervention are essential for preventing clinical deterioration in patients.  We are developing a two-tiered clinicalwarning system designed to identify the signs of clinical deterioration andprovide early warning of serious clinical events at general hospital units.  The first tier of the system automatically identifiespatients at risk of clinical deterioration from existing electronic medicalrecord databases.  The second tier performsreal-time clinical event detection based on vital sign data collected fromon-body wireless sensors attached to those high-risk patients.  Wireless sensor networks play an importantrole in clinical warning by collecting real-time vital signs for clinicaldecision support.  This talk presents thearchitecture of, and our experiences with, a large-scale wireless clinicalmonitoring system.  Our systemencompasses portable wireless pulse oximeters, a wireless relay networkspanning multiple hospital floors, and integration with electronic medicalrecord databases.  We report our experienceand lessons learned from a 14-month clinical trial of the system in sixhospital wards of Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.  Our experiences show the feasibility ofachieving reliable vital sign collection using a wireless sensor network integratedwith hospital IT infrastructure and procedures.  We highlight technical and non-technical elementsthat pose challenges in a real-world hospital environment and provideguidelines for successful and efficient deployment of similar systems.  The convergence of wireless sensors, mobilecomputing, data mining and cloud computing will lead to enhanced quality ofcare for patients in hospitals as well as outpatients in their everyday lives.、
