Description

Alarm device for patient transport means and alarm system using the same The present invention relates to an alarm device for a patient transport means and an alarm system using the same, and more specifically, to an alarm device and system capable of providing an alarm regarding the risk of collision with surrounding objects while transporting a patient using a patient transport means and managing the patient's movement path. In the event of an emergency, patients are placed on a mobile bed and urgently moved to an operating room or other facility for emergency treatment or surgery. However, when mobile beds are moved rapidly within a hospital, problems such as collisions with objects or people along the path of movement, resulting in injuries to the patient or surrounding people, occur frequently. Although functional tables with enhanced functionality to safely and quickly transport patients have been disclosed, such as in the prior art Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1150875, there was a problem in that technology for providing warnings about collisions with surrounding objects or people during patient transport, as well as tracking and managing the patient's movement path, had not been developed.
