INTRODUCTION A framework which continuously monitors data associated with a patient in a hospital and derives an inference from this data based on certain pre-defined rules and reports the inference to the concerned medical personnel.
ALERT FRAMEWORK Administrator’s GUI Response Handler Configuration Block Messaging Subsystem Data Stream Logic Sub System Resource Handler
MOTIVATION • Wide application in many commercial domains (specially in medical field). • Reduces response time of a medical personnel enormously – automated intimation to the medical personnel about condition and location of a patient on the fly • Several technologies involved in the design of this project – XML, Java servelets, socket programming, etc.
WORK INVOLVED • Study of similar work at other places • A Functional Approach to Integrating Database and Expert Systems, by Torei Risch, Reni Reboh, Peter Hart, And Richard Duda. • A Web-Enabled FRAMEWORK for SMART CARD Application in Health Services, by Alvin T.S. Chan, Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce Laboratory, Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
WORK INVOLVED(continued) • Requirements analysis – Get clear with the requirements and feasibility issues • System Design – Designed the overview • Implementation of the system – Converted design to code • Deployment – Deployed the working system in a simulated scenario • Testing – Developed the test cases to validate the software
FEATURES • Rules that can be changed according to the situation (only by a qualified medical personnel) <rule> <expression> <parameter>PHResult</parameter> <comparisionOperator>lessthan</comparisionOperator> <number>7.34</number> </expression> <expression> <parameter>PCO2Result</parameter> <comparisionOperator>greaterthan</comparisionOperator> <number>40</number> </expression> <toCall>doctor</toCall> <urgency>urgent</urgency> </rule>
FEATURES • Continuous and real-time monitoring of patient information • Extensive use of different configurable messaging modes • Attempt to make fully configurable system
TECHNICAL DETAILS • The implementation is component based with definite interfaces defined for every component • Developed using the Java Programming language • XML has been used for designing the rules
TECHNICAL DETAILS • We have used a client/server model for messaging the user and also receiving a response • Java Servlets has been used to design the UI
USP • Can be extensively used for patient monitoring system. • A scalable system • Extendable to other fields – Weather forecasting, Share value monitoring, etc. • Loosely coupled and hence scalable to great extent.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS • Though an attempt is made still the system can be made completely configurable • More messaging modes can be added • Other types of rules (rate of change) can be added • Generation of graphical alerts to the user.(Integration with Mobile Heart Center)
