“…Reduced working time was reported by one study on an automated system for collecting vital signs and symptoms (Kuroda et al, 2013). The authors found that using Bluetooth access points for thermometer and blood pressure meters in a 22-bed dialysis unit halved the time nurses spent using hospital information systems.…”

“…Another study on bar code-assisted system found that the direct transmission of data reduced measurement errors to 1.3% during the evaluation period and that the prototype correctly identified patients was 87.4% of cases (Kuroda et al, 2013). Three studies looked at measurement errors in automated devices for detecting falls and monitoring urine output.…”

Background Future nursing shortages and advanced technological developments mean that robots and automated devices could play a valuable role in nursing, but little has been published on their use, and outcomes, to date. Aim This integrative review identified how robots are currently used in nursing and the outcomes of those initiatives. Design This study used integrative review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses. Data sources We searched the CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for peer‐reviewed papers published in English from January 2010 to August 2018. Review methods The five‐stage review process by Whittemore and Knafl was used. Results The 25 included papers showed that robots and automated devices were mainly used in nursing to deliver medication, monitor patients, and provide nursing treatments. The outcomes were evaluated in relation to patient safety, working time and workload, usability, and the end users' satisfaction. In addition, the costs, care outcomes, nurses' behaviour, and changes in working procedures were considered. Conclusions Robots and automated devices have the potential to develop nurses' work, but more research and critical evaluations are needed to find the most suitable devices and focus on the functions that will provide the best outcomes for nurses' work.

“…Most of the studies aim at some kind of behaviour analysis -mostly to detect or prevent specific risks [125][126][127][128][129][130][131] or to analyse behaviour patterns to support care decisions. [132][133][134] Other application fields are vital sign monitoring, [135][136][137][138] external risk detection 139 and tracking or identification of persons. 140,141 The most common application of sensors in this review is the analysis of behaviour for the prevention of falls.…”

Abstract-The progress in the economic society has driven the rapid development of the logistics industry. In the face of increasingly enormous and complicated logistics systems, it is of great practical significance to study how to effectively control the logistics process, minimize the labour cost and provide real-time monitoring data for users. For this purpose, this paper designs an active logistics status tracking (ALST) system platform based on Wireless sensor network (WSN). This paper, by fully integrating the characteristics of WSN, designs the system architecture based on the design philosophy of active logistics status tracking method; it also constructs and realizes the hardware function modules such as wireless sensor node, vehicle gateway, user terminal and backend server etc., and adopts the finite-state machine (FSM)-based active tracking model to maintain the logistics object status; and then it carries out programming of wireless sensor node active state tracking in TinyOS2.x, and finally performs system test under normal operation. The active logistics status tracking system can be widely applied in the logistics industry, to optimize the logistics process, reduce losses and improve logistics operation efficiency.Keywords-wireless sensor network (WSN), active logistics status tracking (ALST), finite-state machine (FSM), tinyos.2 IntroductionWith the increasingly complex logistics system nowadays, it is of great significance to study how to effectively control the logistics process, save labour costs and provide real-time monitoring data for users [1][2]. In the traditional logistics tracking method, the centralized control and optimization methods were often applied, which could optimize the operation of logistics system to some degree, but cannot satisfy the monitoring demands of the rapidly changing logistics system due to its technical limitations [3][4]. Now, in terms of information acquisition and network deployment, the WSN has been freed from the limitations of infrastructures in the traditional network, and can be customized to the demands of logistics operation. Compared with the traditional technology, it can not only collect and transmit data, but also perceive the status information of things and surrounding environment with certain computing 58
