Remote Medical Alert Monitoring System – Providing Telehealth By Integrating Ayurveda With Sensors And Mobile Computing
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Generating medical alerts and providing timely first aid in emergency or adverse situations play a major role in reducing mortality and saving lives. However, this requires effective remote monitoring and timely reach of relevant information to the concerned stakeholders. Wearable sensors linked to smart phones (mHealth applications) are being increasingly developed for monitoring the health status of individuals. But for remotely monitoring medical alerts especially during emergency situations, a framework that supports both development and real time monitoring, and at the same time is cost effective, easily accessible and adoptable by many is the need of hour. It should also be scalable, replicable, evidence based and a viable solution. The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework for remote monitoring of medical alerts integrating Ayurveda, wearable sensors, mobile based decision support and cloud services. Extensive literature review and consultation with clinical experts, Ayurveda practitioners and technology specialist working with sensors were carried out to develop the framework. The framework enables assimilation of vital parameters of registered individuals 24x7 through wearable sensors and detecting anomaly by combining them with Nadi Prakisha to provide timely notification in case of medical emergencies even in remote areas. This will improve timely communication between relevant stakeholders and help in reducing mortality occurring due to lack of timely help.
