發展適用於醫療環境 Android 應用程式之系統架構及設計探討

Abstract

With the Tablet and smart phone development, the application and development of mobile devices have become more diversified and easy to carry, then mobile applications (mobile Apps) installing on the smart phones to obtain rapid growth further. In addition to providing entertainment and information search functions, Apps also play an important role of improving the service quality in various industries. In this study, with the Android operating system as a development platform, we use the smart devices to get seamless integration with the Internet's convenience. Through Wi-Fi to connect with the database, then we develop the useful Android application. By exploiting this system, the paper focuses on the medical system's environment characteristics to influence the Android applications. Finally, we compare with the current techniques, and even more explore the user acceptance on mobile devices. The developing system function is aimed at single appointments of outpatient clinic and rehabilitation information system, therapists is the major user base on this system. The operational process of this system includes searching for the number of patients, reserved patients and updating the patient information. The information system functions, such as patient’s appointment, past medical history and some relevant records can send by wireless transmission back to the database. They will not only ensure the data integrity but also help the medical staff to search patient’s data swiftly and conveniently while patients make their treatment next time. Finally, this study used scenario simulation methods for conducting the developing App system efficiency to preliminary assessment. In the actual hospital rehabilitation room implementing the time study method, we observed the professional rehabilitation therapists use rehabilitation treatment for traditional paper and App system. To further know the influence of therapists working load, we compared the traditional paper operation process with the proposed Android applications in the study.
