Mobile hospitals facilitate health care in remote regions with little or no infrastructure. The medical instruments in mobile hospitals must be especially robust and maintainable. The remo²hbo (repairable patient monitoring in mobile hospital boxes) project approach for mobile hospitals in these regions is to develop innovative and open-source solutions for a robust, affordable and repairable patient monitoring in a mobile hospital. This will allow us to implement important diagnostic and therapy monitoring procedures flexibly and on a long-term basis even in regions of crisis and conflict.
This wiki aims to provide background information on the technical requirements for realizing a robust and maintainable patient monitoring system. Each aspect of the patient monitoring system has a chapter or subchapter that contains information on these requirements.
Furthermore, the wiki provides a space for community members to collect and share their ideas on solutions with regard to these requirements.
Finally, there already exists a prototype that has been developed by two Berlin-based universities. All technical information with regard to this prototype and the space for your contributions is described below in the section Repositories of Prototype for Remo2hbo.
The units must be stand-alone and functioning autonomously during transport (must-have). The units must be shock resistant during transport and use in the field.
- The user manual must be available online
- The repair manual must be available online
- All components are open source (hardware and software)
- Parts must be as interchangable as possible (versus durability)
A prototype of the Remo2hbo project already exists and can be further worked on. The prototype consist of several circuit boards for processing ECG, heart rate, blood oxygen, temperature, and blood pressure. A full documentation of the assembly of its electronic components is available here. The prototype also consists of an operating system based on Raspbian for a Raspberry Pi. This operating system contains a frontend interface to display the signal data. Each of these 3 parts of the prototype has a separate repository:
Since the Operating System Repository only contains the scripts needed to build the system, if you don't want to develop this further, but simply want to use what has been developed, you can also download a finished system here.
The project board with all open issues of existing solutions for hardware and software components is available here. The project board is interlinked with the existing repositories containing code and CAD-files for software and hardware components.
