Development of a Real-Time Android Based Remote Monitoring Android App System for Multiple Patients

Abstract

Monitoring implies observing one form of disease or the other remotely , it involves monitoring ones medical condition over a certain period of time. With the present challenges in the health sector it has become necessary to adopt remote monitoring system in our health facilities . Remote monitoring systems are based on advanced wireless technology. In this paper, a real-time body temperature monitoring system was developed considering the cost effectiveness, ease of application, accuracy, and data security. The system provides a responsive interface between the doctor and the patient. This paper presents a monitoring system that has the capability to monitor physiological parameters for multiple patients. In this system, a wearable device was developed and attached on a patient body to collect all the required data and sends them to the database which can be accessed via the mobile phone.. The system App can detect the abnormal conditions and send the parameter wirelessly via a Wi-Fi device to the android based device. In evaluating the performance parameters like temperature obtained from four individuals were compared with existing result which shows a percentage error of 2.5% and accuracy of 97.4%. The second sample gives the percentage error of 5.1% and accuracy of 94.8%. The third sample gives the percentage error of 1.3% and accuracy of 98.6%. The fourth sample gives the percentage error of 2.9% and accuracy of 97.1%.
