The remo²hbo Project - an Introduction

Mobile hospitals facilitate health care in remote regions with little or no infrastructure. The medical instruments in mobile hospitals must be especially robust and maintainable. The remo²hbo (repairable patient monitoring in mobile hospital boxes) project approach for mobile hospitals in these regions is to develop innovative and open-source solutions for a robust, affordable and repairable patient monitoring in a mobile hospital. This will allow us to implement important diagnostic and therapy monitoring procedures flexibly and on a long-term basis even in regions of crisis and conflict.

This wiki aims to provide background information on the technical requirements for realizing a robust and maintainable patient monitoring system. Each aspect of the patient monitoring system has a chapter or subchapter that contains information on these requirements.

Furthermore, the wiki provides a space for community members to collect and share their ideas on solutions with regard to these requirements.

General non-functional Requirements

Transportability

The units must be stand-alone and functioning autonomously during transport (must-have). The units must be shock resistant during transport and use in the field.

Maintainability and repairability

  • The user manual must be available online
  • The repair manual must be available online
  • All components are open source (hardware and software)
  • Parts must be as interchangable as possible (versus durability)
