This research paper presents the development of an innovative medical stretcher system that integrates vital parameter monitoring capabilities with an ergonomic cushion design, utilizing LoRa technology for reliable data transmission. The system addresses critical challenges in patient transport and monitoring, particularly in emergency medical services and resource-constrained healthcare settings. The stretcher incorporates multiple biosensors that continuously monitor vital parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. These measurements are transmitted via LoRa (Long Range) wireless technology, selected for its low power consumption, extended transmission range (up to 10 km in rural areas), and robust performance in challenging environments. The LoRa module enables real-time data communication between the stretcher and healthcare facilities, allowing for continuous patient assessment during transport without requiring cellular infrastructure. Complementing the monitoring system, the ergonomic cushion component was designed through anthropometric analysis and pressure distribution studies. The multi-layer cushion incorporates viscoelastic foam and targeted support zones to reduce pressure points, minimize patient discomfort, and prevent pressure ulcers during extended transport. Pressure mapping tests demonstrated a 43% reduction in peak pressure points compared to standard stretcher surfaces. Field tests in both urban and rural environments confirmed the system’s reliability, with the LoRa network maintaining connectivity at distances exceeding 8 km and battery life supporting over 72 h of continuous operation. Healthcare professionals reported significant improvements in patient comfort and monitoring capabilities, with 92% indicating the system enhanced their ability to deliver care during transport. This integration of vital parameter monitoring with optimized ergonomic design represents a significant advancement in medical transport technology, particularly valuable for emergency situations and healthcare settings with limited resources.

摘要

This research paper presents the development of an innovative medical stretcher system that integrates vital parameter monitoring capabilities with an ergonomic cushion design, utilizing LoRa technology for reliable data transmission. The system addresses critical challenges in patient transport and monitoring, particularly in emergency medical services and resource-constrained healthcare settings. The stretcher incorporates multiple biosensors that continuously monitor vital parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. These measurements are transmitted via LoRa (Long Range) wireless technology, selected for its low power consumption, extended transmission range (up to 10 km in rural areas), and robust performance in challenging environments. The LoRa module enables real-time data communication between the stretcher and healthcare facilities, allowing for continuous patient assessment during transport without requiring cellular infrastructure. Complementing the monitoring system, the ergonomic cushion component was designed through anthropometric analysis and pressure distribution studies. The multi-layer cushion incorporates viscoelastic foam and targeted support zones to reduce pressure points, minimize patient discomfort, and prevent pressure ulcers during extended transport. Pressure mapping tests demonstrated a 43% reduction in peak pressure points compared to standard stretcher surfaces. Field tests in both urban and rural environments confirmed the system’s reliability, with the LoRa network maintaining connectivity at distances exceeding 8 km and battery life supporting over 72 h of continuous operation. Healthcare professionals reported significant improvements in patient comfort and monitoring capabilities, with 92% indicating the system enhanced their ability to deliver care during transport.
