Internet of Things in Centralized Management of Medical Equipment

Abstract

Centralized management of medical equipment is an approach to improve the utilization rate of and meet the emergency requirements for medical equipment, and IOT (In-ternet of things)is introduced to facilitate intelligent centralized management system in our contribution. In the IOT management platform, temperature and humidity sensors uninterruptedly collect warehouse’ environmental parameters, and real-time information about leased medical equipment is obtained through sensors for position and running status. The IOT management platform on the basis of Wi-Fi technology is preferred for its extensive network coverage, mature hardware and software facilities. High power consumption, a disadvantage of Wi-Fi-based IOT, is alleviated by appropriate power management. IOT management platform, therefore, resolves issues of medical equipment centralized management center, improves the operation efficiency and reduces manpower and material resources.
