Information System for Integrated Medical Records with Access via IOT Technology

Abstract

The objective of this project was the development of an information management system for healthcare purpose using cloud computing and IoT technology. The system was designed to receive data coming from medical instruments, as well as documents issued by healthcare professionals and doctor responsible for the care of a patient. For medical consultation, patients must use an identification card that allows access to the corresponding medical history stored in the cloud. This access can be done through an RFID reader, making it possible to consult patient information on a human-machine interface, where new information can also be registered. For the development of the interface, an application for the Android operating system was created, where information can be accessed, and documents can be stored. Storage was implemented on Google's Firebase® platform. Akyiama's RFID reader integrated in a Raspberry Pi was used to access the information. Exemplifying the connection with biomedical instruments, a sen-11574 heart beats sensor was connected to a Raspberry Pi, whose measurements were converted to the I2C format with an ADS-1115 module. Results obtained are very promising to be applied in the automation of hospitals, first aid and private assistance in medical offices. the main benefit for patients is the fact that they can keep their medical history in the cloud, which can prevent loss of patient information in usual cases such as changing doctors, offices, or hospitals, which is commonly the case. Therefore, the system allows the preservation of the patient's historical record. The medical care system would make it more effective as it facilitates the work of medical professionals and assists in the patient's day-to-day life with updated health information
