Abstract

The instant disclosure relates to a wearable device for medical care. The device can be worn by the medical staff to help care recipients. The device includes a measuring module, a storing module, and a processing module. The measuring module is utilized to examine the patient in obtaining character-based information. The storing module is used to store character-based data corresponding to the obtained character-based information. The processing module is in electrical connection with the measuring and storing modules. The processing module receives the character-based information from the measuring module, and converts the character-based information into character-based data for storing in the storing module. The conversion is performed after the medical staff has obtained the character-based information of the patient via the measuring module. Thus, the care of recipients by the medical staff can be facilitated, and erroneous data record due to human input can be avoided.

Claims

1. A wearable device, suitable for wearing by a medical staff to care one or more recipients, comprising:

a measuring module to obtain a character-based information from the recipient;

a storing module to store a character-based data corresponding to the character-based information; and

a processing module connected electrically to the measuring module and the storing module, for receiving the character-based information and converting the character-based information to the character-based data, wherein the character-based data is stored in the storing module.

2. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising a transmitting module connected electrically to the processing module, the transmitting module transmits a character-based signal corresponding to the character-based information to a central control unit or receives the character-based data from the storing module and converts the character-based data to the character-based signal and transmits the character-based signal to the central control unit.

3. The wearable device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting module detects for one other wearable device in a detectable range for exchanging respective character-based signals and storing in the respective storing modules.

4. The wearable device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting module has a connecting port, for plugging a transmission cable to transmit the character-based signal to the central control unit.

5. The wearable device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting module receives a control command from the central control unit for controlling or updating the wearable device remotely.

6. The wearable device of claim 2, further comprising a mediator in between the central control unit and the transmitting module, wherein the mediator receives the character-based signal from the transmitting module and synchronizes the character-based signal to the central control unit, and wherein the mediator receives a control command from the central control unit and transmits to the transmitting module.

7. The wearable device of claim 2, wherein a mediator is built therein to receive the character-based signal from the transmitting module of one other wearable device and synchronize the character-based signal of the other wearable device to the central control unit, and wherein the mediator receives a control command from the central control unit and transmits the control command to the transmitting module of the other wearable device.

8. The wearable device of claim 2, further comprising a distress call module in electrical connection with the processing module, wherein the distress call module generates a distress call signal and transmits to the central control unit via the transmitting module.

9. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising an identification module in electrical connection with the processing module, wherein a plurality of image data is built within the storing module, wherein the identification module reads an image and cross-correlates with the storing module to find the matched image data, in order to generate an identification code via the processing module.

10. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising an image capturing module connected electrically to the processing module, wherein the image capturing module captures an image as the character-based information and transmits the character-based information to the processing module.

11. The wearable device of claim 10, further comprising a control piece connected electrically to the processing module, wherein the control piece sets the parameters of the wearable device or on/off arrangements of the image capturing module.

12. The wearable device of claim 1, wherein the processing module has a built-in measuring procedure for initiating the measuring module to obtain the character-based information.

13. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising a battery module having a power source for operating the wearable device, wherein the battery module is recharged electrically by an electrically chargeable device.

14. The wearable device of claim 13, wherein the battery module has an input port for receiving a power cable to electrically recharge the battery module.

15. The wearable device of claim 13, wherein the battery module is electrically recharged wirelessly.

16. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising a display module connected electrically to the processing module for displaying the contents of the wearable device.

17. The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising an image projection module connected electrically to the processing module for projecting the contents of the wearable device.

18. The wearable device of claim 2, further comprising a wireless communication module connected electrically to the processing module, wherein the wireless communication module converts received sound waves to a voice signal, wherein the voice signal is transmitted to the transmitting module via the processing module, and wherein the wireless communication module is also capable of receiving a voice signal from the transmitting module and converts the voice signal to a sound wave for playing the sound wave.

19. The wearable device of claim 1, wherein the character-based information includes physiological information or ambient condition information.
