Project Summary

The major aim of the project is to provide an ease in healthcare sector by introducing IoT’s in this department. As it has been achieved in foreign countries , all of this sector has been automated , even operations have been performing virtually , so here An Automated Healthcare System is a need of today. By introducing Iot’s we have reduced time in patient’s readmissions, supporting medications and delivering home health support and monitoring . Here it must taken into account that IoT is not here to replace the healthcare providers , but to provide them with the data it gathers from devices , in order to facilitate diagnosis and treatment , and to reduce waste and influencies in the healthcare system. We have achieved half of our milestones which includes the designing and implementation of ADMIN, DOCTOR, PATIENT and NURSE modules. 54 out of 100% milestones have been achieved

Project Objectives

The objective is to design an IoT system and desktop application which provides fast & user friendly approach to upgrade our hospital services and maximizing the facilities for Doctors, Nurses and Patients. Not only this, it will also be able to manage all the records and history

Project Implementation Method

At present or traditional Hospital system in any hospital is a time-consuming and lengthy process. Patients go to the hospital and they have to go through various processes for treatment. To overcome such drawbacks we designed our System. The methodology of the project is consist of Nine modules Admin module, Doctor module, Nurse module, Pharmacy module, Pathology module, Radiology module, Receptionist module, IOT Hardware. If the patient enters into hospital first, they have to register their name at the reception counter. According to their problem, they can take an appointment with a particular doctor. All information of the patient will be available to the doctor then a doctor can view his all previous history and update or refer to Pathology or Radiology department also the doctor can admit the patient for that reception assign nurse and room number to the patient.The nurse can see all patient lists and medicine assigned to it also next appointment to the doctor and in case of an emergency of patient-nurse will get alert. Pathology and radiology have mostly common elements doctors will refer to them then they will update the report of patients that can be viewed by doctors. Now towards the IoT devices, they will update the patient information to the database after every 5min in case of emergency it will notify the doctor and nurse. For software, the backend language we have used is C# (C-Sharp) and the framework is .NET. For database, PostgreSQL is used and the hardware for IoT device is Arduino NodeMCU. It consist of built-in Wi-Fi. Two sensors have been used one is for the heart beat and the other one is for body temperature which will be connected to the pins of the Arduino NodeMCU device and it reads the data from it. When the SQL query of INSERT is run, the data will be uploaded and saved on the database.

Benefits of the Project

IoT has not only enhanced the independence but also diversified the ability of the human to interact with the external environment. IoT, with help of futuristic protocol and algorithms, became a major contributor to global communication. It connects a large number of devices, wireless sensors, home appliances, and electronic devices to the Internet. Care for All is the complete software and IOT solution for all the administrative and patient care functions of the hospital. In the future, it will provide increased independence and mobility for elderly, sick, and physically or mentally disabled patients and reduce stress for family and doctors who can be alerted and react immediately as soon as issues arise

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

So far we are able to achieve half of our milestones which includes the designing of database, designing of admin, doctor, patient and nurse modules. Now we look forward to complete the designing of remaining modules i.e. receptionist, pharmacy, pathology and radiology domains and the implementation on IoT hardware.We will also introduced more IoT sensors in case of success of this project. As for now we will only work with two sensors i.e; temperature and heartbeat sensor. As the prices and sizes of devices go down, rapid scaling of these technologies will take place. We are looking forward for further advancements and designing of remaining modules
