The internet of healthcare things aims at connecting biosensors, clinical information systems and electronic health dossiers. The resulting data expands traditionally available diagnostics with digital biomarkers. In this technical note, we report the implementation and pilot operation of a device- and analytics-agnostic automated monitoring platform for in-house patients at hospitals. Any available sensor, as well as any analytics tool can be integrated if the application programming interface is made available. The platform consists of a network of Bluetooth gateways communicating via the hospital’s secure Wi-Fi network, a server application (Device Hub) and associated databases. Already existing access points or low-cost hardware can be used to run the gateway software. The platform can be extended to a remote patient monitoring solution to close the gap between in-house treatments and follow-up patient monitoring.

用于连续住院监测的设备和分析不可知基础设施：技术说明

医疗保健物联网旨在连接生物传感器、临床信息系统和电子健康档案。由此产生的数据通过数字生物标志物扩展了传统上可用的诊断。在本技术说明中，我们报告了针对医院内部患者的与设备和分析无关的自动化监测平台的实施和试运行。如果应用程序编程接口可用，则可以集成任何可用的传感器以及任何分析工具。该平台由通过医院安全 Wi-Fi 网络进行通信的蓝牙网关网络、服务器应用程序（设备集线器）和相关数据库组成。现有的接入点或低成本硬件可用于运行网关软件。
