"Who doesn’t feel anxious during hospitalization? Yet here, every need of mine is anticipated in advance." Recovering from surgery, Aunt Zhang spoke of her stay at Zhoukou Central Hospital with sheer relief and gratitude.

As the primary healthcare guardian for 12 million residents across Southeastern Henan, Zhoukou Central Hospital was founded in 1951. It is a Grade A tertiary comprehensive hospital integrating medical treatment, education, scientific research, disease prevention and healthcare services. Partnering with Ocamar’s Smart Ward Solutions, the hospital combines cutting-edge technology with humanistic care to transform formerly sterile wards into warm, patient-centered healing spaces, redefining the empathy and precision of modern medical services.

Ocamar’s integrated smart ward ecosystem consists of Double-Sided Corridor Displays, Digital Patient Room Door Displays, restroom emergency call systems, Digital Bedside Cards, and Nurse Station Consoles. Complementary IoT applications including wireless infusion monitoring, wireless temperature tracking, continuous vital signs monitoring, and patient anti-wandering systems form an all-in-one smart ward management platform that covers the full patient hospitalization cycle and all clinical nursing scenarios. The platform connects staff, medical devices and clinical data across ward environments. On one hand, it builds a comprehensive safety shield for patients via real-time vital signs tracking, intelligent infusion alerts and instant emergency calls for bathroom falls and discomfort. On the other hand, synchronized multi-terminal data and coordinated emergency call responses streamline nursing workflows and speed up care delivery. It also brings greater convenience to inpatients, enabling the hospital to achieve intelligent ward management and create safer, more efficient and compassionate clinical environments.

Technology at the Forefront: Round-the-Clock Protection via Intelligent Systems

If humanistic care represents the heart of smart wards, Ocamar’s robust technology forms their structural backbone. Powered by Ocamar’s All-Network Unlimited® Universal Data Distribution Platform, the hospital has established a full-process intelligent service framework that leverages efficient digital tools to free up more time for nurses to engage with patients and provide companionship.

Genuine medical compassion lies not in empty slogans, but in thoughtful support available the exact moment patients need it. At the smart wards of Zhoukou Central Hospital, Ocamar’s solution prioritizes both technological innovation and human-centered design, weaving warmth into every stage of treatment and recovery.

Intelligent Nursing Interaction System

Double-Sided Corridor Displays, Digital Patient Room Door Displays, restroom emergency call units, Digital Bedside Cards and Nurse Station Consoles create a seamless interactive network linking patients and clinical staff through intuitive display terminals.

·Double-Sided Corridor Displays & Digital Patient Room Door Displays: Serving as public ward information hubs, they show real-time patient care levels, daily treatment schedules and visiting reminders. Clinicians can quickly grasp ward conditions while passing by, and visitors gain clear visibility of ward status to avoid unnecessary disturbances.

·Digital Bedside Cards: Exclusive patient service terminals enabling one-touch nursing calls, inquiries into medical orders and examination progress, adjustable ward lighting and temperature, and on-demand service requests—eliminating the need for patients to seek staff in person.

·Restroom Emergency Call System: Equipped with highly sensitive trigger devices. In the event of falls or sudden discomfort, one tap instantly sends distress alerts to the nurse station and mobile terminals carried by nearby medical staff.

·Nurse Station Console: The central interaction hub that aggregates all incoming calls, automatically tagging patient locations and medical information to enable rapid response dispatching and efficient care follow-up.

This fully connected interactive framework removes information barriers between medical staff and patients, ensuring patient requests are relayed instantly and care is delivered accurately. It creates a more comfortable, reassuring hospital stay for patients while optimizing ward administration and balancing operational efficiency with compassionate care.

Smart Infusion Monitoring: Peace of Mind for Patients and Staff Alike

Staring fixedly at IV drips for fear of empty fluid bags plagues countless inpatients, while nurses conducting 15-minute rounds may miss critical details amid heavy workloads. Ocamar’s smart infusion system resolves these pain points entirely. It adjusts infusion rates tailored to patients’ age and conditions, calculates remaining fluid volume in real time, and triggers simultaneous alerts on the nurse station dashboard and clinicians’ mobile devices when fluid is nearly depleted. "I no longer need to watch the drip constantly and can finally rest soundly," shared one post-surgery patient, echoing the sentiment of many. Freed from repetitive monitoring tasks, nurses can dedicate more time to health education and emotional counseling, delivering deeper, more heartfelt care.

Unobtrusive Vital Signs Monitoring: Silent Guardians Even While Patients Sleep

The unobtrusive monitoring suite comprising Ocamar smart mattresses and wearable temperature patches is widely hailed by patients as an ultimate reassurance tool. Simply lying on the mattress automatically captures core vital signs including heart rate and respiratory rate, while temperature patches transmit 24-hour continuous body temperature data. All readings are auto-synced to electronic nursing records, with tiered alert triggers activated upon abnormal fluctuations. In one recent case, the system immediately flagged an abrupt shift in a post-op patient’s breathing overnight, allowing nurses to intervene promptly and avert a medical emergency. This non-intrusive yet constant oversight lets every patient rest without worry.

Smart Patient Wristbands: Precision Anti-Wandering Protection

Specially designed for elderly patients and those with cognitive impairments, Ocamar smart wristbands function as invisible safety locks. Visually indistinguishable from standard hospital wristbands, they leverage IoT real-time positioning technology. Clinicians configure custom safe activity zones based on each patient’s condition; should a patient cross zone boundaries, instant notifications are sent to the nurse station and attending nurses with the alert: "Patient in Bed X has left the ward area and requires attention." Not long ago, an elderly patient slipped out of their room while their family stepped away. The system triggered an immediate alert, and nurses located the patient swiftly at an elevator lobby via precise positioning, preventing a potential accident. This targeted protection brings peace to both patients and their families.

Dual Improvements in Quality and Efficiency: Setting a Benchmark for Compassionate Medical Care

Since the full deployment of Ocamar’s smart ward system, Zhoukou Central Hospital has achieved remarkable leaps in both clinical service quality and patient experience. Operational data shows repetitive nursing workloads have been cut by 40%, with overall care efficiency rising by 35%. Nurses now have extra bandwidth to deliver personalized care and psychological support to patients. Patient satisfaction scores climbed from 86% to 95%, with 100% perfect ratings across key metrics including information transparency, response timeliness and service thoughtfulness.

Today, the smart wards of Zhoukou Central Hospital strike a balance between advanced technology and human warmth, with thoughtful touches such as foldover accompanying beds and well-equipped pantry areas complementing round-the-clock digital monitoring. Recognized as a model case promoted by the Health Commission of Henan Province, the hospital’s practice fully embodies the patient-centered service philosophy. Moving forward, Zhoukou Central Hospital will deepen its strategic collaboration with Ocamar Information Technology to explore more innovative smart medical scenarios. The two parties will integrate more thoughtful design and precise clinical services into every stage of treatment, staying true to their mission of "building a caring home with warmth, safeguarding health with technology" and letting intelligent healthcare light the path to recovery for every patient.
