1. A healthcare system including a smart defecation detection device, comprising:
a smart defecation detection device that is detachable to a wearable object of a protected person and detects defecation of the protected person, wherein the smart defecation detection device is provided as one of a plurality of smart defecation detection devices;
a relay device that is communicatively connected to the smart defecation detection devices through a first communication network and receives detection information in real time from the plurality of smart defecation detection devices;
a control server that is communicatively connected to the relay device through a second communication network, receives the detection information of the plurality of smart defecation detection devices in real time from the relay device, and comprehensively manages whether a defecation event has occurred and whether processing of the defecation event has been completed for each protected person, based on the detection information; and
a reception device configured to receive notification information so that an assigned manager or ward/management station in charge of the protected person in whom the defecation event has occurred is allowed to be aware of the defecation event when it is determined that the defecation event has occurred based on the detection information of the smart defecation detection device,
wherein information on the protected person matching each smart defecation detection device and information on the assigned manager in charge of the protected person are registered in the control server,
the notification information includes information on the protected person in whom the defecation event has occurred and information on a time of occurrence of the defecation event,
the reception device includes a monitoring device that is connected to the control server, is provided as a display device, and displays the detection information and processing status of the plurality of smart defecation detection devices, and a manager terminal that is provided to the assigned manager in charge of the plurality of smart defecation detection devices and receives the detection information of the smart defecation detection devices and the notification information when the defecation event occurs,
the manager terminal is communicatively connected to the relay device through a third communication network and communicatively connected to the control server through a fourth communication network,
after the processing of the defecation event is completed, the assigned manager transmits information on the completion of the defecation event processing and defecation abnormality information of the protected person in whom the defecation event has occurred to the control server through the manager terminal,
the defecation abnormality information includes an unusual defecation state of the protected person, and the unusual defecation state of the protected person includes diarrhea, bedsores, or bloody stool,
the information on the assigned manager includes manager code information,
the control server matches the assigned manager in charge of the smart defecation detection device to a manager working in real time, based on commuting information of the manager and the manager code information matching each manager each time he or she goes to work, and
the notification information when the defecation event occurs is transmitted to the manager terminal of the manager working in real time, who is matched to the assigned manager in charge of the smart defecation detection device where the defecation event has occurred, based on the manager code information matched to the smart defecation detection device where the defecation event has occurred.
