Project Summary

The progression in the field of Information technology has brought digitalization to every field of life. The things which took days to complete in the past are now completed in a few hours or minutes. One of the sectors which have benefited the most from this advancement is the Health sector. But in some developing countries like Pakistan, the use of Information Technology for the betterment of the Health Sector is lagging. Our Health Monitoring Mobile Application is a contribution from our side to the general public and to the overall health industry in Pakistan. Our mobile application will help the users to be able to live a healthy life by making their lives easy in many ways. The users of our mobile application could be of two types those who are already living a healthy lifestyle but are concerned about their health as they get older and others who already have any kind of disease and want to keep a track of their problems so they don’t get out of control or become life threatening. With the Health mobile application, the users will be able to store their medical records and prescriptions and retrieve them later. The users can store and keep track of their vital readings (heart rate, blood pressure, fasting glucose, random glucose). The mobile application also shows hospitals that are nearby in case the user wants to avail of any medical help. An important feature of the application is the symptoms based disease prediction, the user selects the symptoms which he has and then the application will name certain diseases that match those symptoms based on relevant algorithms used.
 

Project Objectives

Paper medical records are easily lost and are hard to keep track of especially when someone is already concerned about their health. Patients who are hypertensive or diabetic need a constant track of their vital parameters for all their medical appointments, but such readings are hard to keep track of if not saved or recalled properly. In a society like us where people are not well educated and don't understand their health concerns they end up wasting their time and money on going from doctor to doctor instead of finding the right consultant for their specific problem

Project Implementation Method

The users can create an account, users must be login to access the system, after login the users can access the dashboard of the system
The system consists of a mobile application with several modules:
• Storage module => to store user medical records and prescriptions
• Vital Readings Module => where the user stores his or her heart rate, blood pressure, random blood glucose, fasting blood glucose.
• Hospitals & Pharmacies => pharmacies will be shown on city wise basis while hospitals are shown based on nearby locations with distances.
• Disease Prediction => here user will enter his or her symptoms and the system will tell based on rebalancing algorithms to which diseases the symptoms match.
 

Benefits of the Project

Mobile health applications will provide a digital platform to users where they will be able to store their medical records and doctor’s prescriptions in image format. They will be able to enter vital health readings (heart rate, blood pressure, fasting sugar, random sugar) and keep track of them. The application also provides users with certain diseases which the user might have, by matching the symptoms the user entered. So the user gets a rough idea of what diseases could have caused the symptoms which he has and consult the specific doctor or specialist. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this project, we created an android application for the patient who wants to keep a record of his medical data in an organized and sorted manner so that he can retrieve his data whenever necessary and get disease prediction based on symptoms entered and past data. For the Database, we used MySQL database which will be later deployed on the Amazon Cloud for scalability.
• Future system extension or enhancement
Later a one-on-one chat system with the doctor can be added where the patient can allow the doctor to see his medical reports and comment on them and the patient can also make an appointment with the doctor.
• System reuse
This application can be reused later for other advanced systems.
• User interface paradigms
The user/patient will be provided with a card view after login is shown to the user to provide different options to perform particular operations.
• Data management (storage, distribution, persistence)
The database will store the user’s data when the user Sign-In for the first time (only once) and the user will be able to enter report pictures and medical readings
• Concurrency and synchronization
Our application is concurrent in a manner that a user can perform multiple operations through our application using his/her user account.
