Research on the Temperature Humidity Monitoring System in the Key Areas of the Hospital Based on the Internet of Things
This paper designs an internet of things based temperature humidity monitoring system in the key areas of the hospital to address the problem that the temperature and humidity monitoring systems are independent from each other in the hospital. The establishment of a hospital level temperature and humidity monitoring platform is able to realize the integrated monitoring and management on such areas as ICU, pharmacy and operation room etc, where both of the temperature and humidity must be monitored. In every temperature and humidity acquisition node, the collected environmental data about the indoor humidity and temperature will be sent over the 433M wireless sensor network to the internet of things (IoT) gateway, through which data will be uploaded via wifi or the wired access network within the hospital to the background server, where in addition to data collection and analysis, various reports will be generated and control commands will be transferred. Then all of the medical staffs can make a real time inquiry and control on the environmental data by connecting their intelligent terminals (such as cell phone) to the server. Actually when the humidistat thermostat controller is designed according to the DDC principle and the integral separation PID control algorithm, the control on the central air conditioning units is able to realize the real time control of constant temperature and humidity. Also a prototype system has been established to conduct the functional verification. The experiment shows that this system is able to run steadily with precise data collection and reliable control.
