With the aging population worldwide, there has been a rapid increase of 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 of dependent patients who are either bed or house bound. More and more services are provided by hospitals and health-care organizations and allow doctors to provide diagnosis in patients' places in a regular basis. But the frequency is not high enough to provide timely diagnosis based on latest update of health condition. It brings us the idea to implement a cloud based system that can monitor health condition of users and allows doctors to provide timely diagnosis. | ||
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. Another bigger issue is the lack of a centralized system to collect all these data from different medical devices and send these data to doctors as one single source of data for further diagnosis. | |||
Therefore, the major goals of this project include: | |||
* To provide a centralized place to collect data from different medical devices automatically. | |||
* To monitor health condition of users and allows doctors to provide timely diagnosis. | |||
In October 2015, we raised a suggestion and initialized this project in National Central University. The initial 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. | In October 2015, we raised a suggestion and initialized this project in National Central University.
