IoT-based System for Monitoring EKG and Blood Oxygen Level

Personal Health Information from the ECG monitor is processed by the app. The system allows users to record their ECG and define fundamental problems, if any. The algorithms enable preliminary diagnosis of arrhythmia, and tachycardia, detect abnormalities, etc. It helps to determine if a health consultation is required and allows sharing of examination results with medical specialists.

The history of all measurements runs depending on the session event-type and related to the activity-type and hydration level retaining and loss. The proper notifications are shown according to data received from the optical sensor. Therefore, the User can follow them to keep healthy habits.

The system is HIPAA and FDA compliant, as it must keep users' general personal information and their PHI secure. As developers, we need to ensure that all activities related to the ePHI information, such as who and when have access to the specific data, are correctly tracked. ePHI/PHI data should be anonymized related to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. AWS-based infrastructure helps a lot to create a monitoring mechanism for the entire system, so we can collect different information for further analysis and react to some specific events. As we are using mobile Medical devices, we also should follow FDA regulations: all the connections should be secured, and each device should have appropriate documentation regarding user data protection and deletion.

Personal Health Information on oxygen saturation is received from the pulse oximeter and read by the system, as well as ECG recordings. With both oximetry and ECG report features, this solution is a beneficial tool for patients’ self-assessment and remote patient monitoring programs. End-users can track changes in their health by themselves, remaining in their comfort zone and quickly discovering if they need to visit a specialist.

The unlimited storage allows users to keep a history of all measurements, and details of every session can be reviewed when required. All oximetry reports can be reviewed in the application, printed, and downloaded as a PDF for further sharing with practitioners.

Direct and secure report sending is also allowed in the application; there's no need to download them. Medical practitioners may use the system to regularly get patients' reports and ensure the treatment goes in the right direction

Webshop and user profile functionality allows our customer to sell the IoT healthcare solution online. Our tech team has created a web-based e-commerce solution and integrated it with the company's site. The end users can define payment methods, create orders, pass checkouts, then track orders' statuses.

Access to accounts on both web and mobile apps is available after the web or mobile application registration for ECG and oxygen measurements. The PHI data is only available in the mobile app connected with sensors. The web application serves as the main access point for eShop and the forum community.

The administration of the online shop is available in full due to the necessary functionality we've developed. Among the core features are goods management, branding, payments module, and other standard e-commerce modules.

A community for users was created as a part of our customer's business philosophy. The company's aim is not just to provide and sell healthcare solutions for self-examination and remote patient monitoring but also to establish a social environment where medical professionals can network and share their knowledge and experience.

A web forum we've developed serves as a social media community and allows users to hold joint discussions on topics (professional issues, industry news, etc.). The moderation component is also included and developed with custom UI-UX to be compatible with our client's existing landing page and blog.

Access to the community features is also created in the mobile application. The forum section is available as read-only for all types of users. People can only participate in the discussions when registered and signed in.
