Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Health Informatics
Mobile Health (mHealth)

Background:

Chronic diseases like hypertension and arrhythmia require constant physiological monitoring for effective management.
Existing healthcare systems often lack integrated, real-time patient data for timely intervention.
The proliferation of mobile devices presents an opportunity for remote patient monitoring solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and implement a role-based intelligent mobile care system for chronic disease management.
To develop a system capable of real-time physiological parameter monitoring and alert generation.
To enhance healthcare quality through continuous monitoring and timely medical intervention.

Main Methods:

Developed a role-based mobile care system with distinct user roles (patients, physicians, nurses, healthcare providers).
Integrated physiological signal recognition algorithms into commercial mobile phones via Bluetooth for data acquisition (blood pressure, pulse, SpO2, ECG).
Implemented a back-end alert management mechanism for automatic emergency notifications and sequential healthcare provider alerts.

Main Results:

The system successfully monitored multiple physiological signals from chronic patients using mobile devices.
Physiological data was wirelessly transmitted to a healthcare center for storage, analysis, and physician notification.
The alert mechanism effectively initiated emergency strategies, improving healthcare response times and accuracy.

Conclusions:

The implemented intelligent mobile care system establishes a complete healthcare chain for chronic disease management.
Mobile monitoring and alert systems significantly improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes.
The system's design supports microminiaturization and power saving in monitoring devices.
