Sistema de monitoramento móvel de sinais cardíacos para uso em assistência domiciliar

Abstract

This work presents the design and development of a system designed to assist healthcare professionals in their treatment of patients in a homecare system tasks that require continuously monitoring, especially patients who are in post-surgical clinical cases of cardiovascular problems. Thus, facilitating and presenting tools for continuous monitoring of vital signs electrocardiogram (ECG) and issuing alerts according critical changes in heart rate of the patient. The system is divided into three distinct modules: Local module that is responsible for acquiring the patient's vital signs, communicating with portable monitoring equipment such as a portable electrocardiograph; The Web module that is designed to perform centralized collection and storage of data in a cloud database and the Mobile Module which is a focused application for mobile devices with Android operating system, which aims to assist health professionals in decision decisions on the patient's treatment in the event of changes in clinical status through real-time display of vital signs and receiving alerts. Checking the system development environment it was taken through unit testing, testing and integration testing interface. Already the validation was performed with the integration of a portable electrocardiograph coupled to a simulator of ECG signals, the Local Module, and the Web module, performance tests were submitted by Apache Jmeter tool, where they were made submissions simultaneous alerts. The tests carried out with professionals, show the feasibility of using the system with the care of patients in home care. Keywords: Homecare Systems. mHealt
