PEKA-ORTU: Parent Health Monitoring Application

Telemedicine is now commonly employed in developing countries for various medical services. The authors of this study will develop low portable telemedicine equipment for remote monitoring of parents’ health (patients). Remote patient monitoring is one of the essential components of any telemedicine service. Patient data will be collected from remote locations using this tool. Seven parameters are collected in this tool, which are the patient’s vital data, namely Electromyography (EMG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Electrocardiogram (ECG), Accelerometer, and LUX sensor. EMG is used to determine muscle activity, EDA to measure moisture and skin activity levels, EKG to determine heart rate and monitor blood pressure, an accelerometer to observe body movements, and LUX sensor, which aims to determine pulse blood volume data. This device is portable and can be used easily with any telemedicine model. A mobile application has been developed to collect patient data from this device, control the device and send data to the server for the telemedicine application. The application interface is made simple so users can use it more easily.
