MediControl – a system facilitating the work of physicians and nurses
Students from the Scientific Club of Biomedical Devices at the Faculty of Mechatronics of Warsaw University of Technology are carrying out a project which will allow an improved control of fluids in medical drips and registration of pulse deficits. It is an answer to suggestions and demands of health-care staff.
Our students decided to create a patient monitoring system that would be inexpensive to manufacture and maintain as well as easy to use. They assumed the system would consist of several elements: a system for measuring the level of drip fluid; ECG measuring device; heart rate monitor; system collecting data from multiple patients and presenting the results, e.g. in the nurse room, and software used for presenting the data.
Currently, the students are working in two groups: one group is focusing on measuring the amount of fluid in drips and creating a network which will allow gathering data; the other group is working on cardiology-related aspects.
WUT'S researchers work on a range of scientific topics which are explored in different areas and on a different scale. Often the outcome of these helps with the development of new technologies or everyday products to come into being.
