With the aging population worldwide, there has been a rapid increase in dependent patients who are either bed or house bound. Although there are lots of medical mobile apps on the shelf to provide personal medical information, analysis, or even some simple monitoring functionalities, these applications are used on current complicated operating systems that most aging patients may have difficulties to use. | With the aging population worldwide, there has been a rapid increase in dependent patients who are either bed or house bound.

In October 2015, [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaichih Kevin Hu]] raised a suggestion and initialized this project in National Central University. The target audience for this project focuses on the patients / users who would like to have a centralized place for all medical apps, and who are not familiar with existed complicated mobile operating systems. | In October 2015, [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaichih Kevin Hu]] and Greg Weng raised a suggestion and initialized this project in National Central University. The target audience for this project focuses on the patients / users who are unable to go to hospitals and see doctors, and who would like to have a centralized place for all medical apps, and who are not familiar with existed complicated mobile operating systems. It contains the following parts: | ||
1. Wearable devices. <br> | |||
2. Data center. | |||
Wearable devices stay with users and collect all information from other medical devices. An operating system with simple and friendly user interface to these target audience is expected in the wearable devices. We will also try to optimize Firefox OS to be able to retrieve monitoring data from 3rd party medical devices or other related IOT devices constantly. This wearable device can be also used to provide quick and easy to understand dashboard, to show the overview of health condition to users. It can be used as a communication channel between users and doctors. Therefore, it keeps sending information to data center for doctors to do diagnosis, and also allows doctors to send some suggestions to users. | |||
Data center collects all data from wearable devices and do further statistics and provide a web based management console for doctors to do diagnosis. It also provides console for users and their family members to keep connected and be aware of the health condition of the users. | |||
With this project, we would like to bring more medical devices to the world of web, and provide a secure environment that shorten the distance between users and doctors. | |||
