PulmoConnect: An Integrated Mobile Platform for Enhanced Doctor-Patient Communication at the Institute of Pulmocare and Research
摘要
Relying on a manual system can be time-consuming for a doctor when managing multiple patients simultaneously, making it challenging to deliver improved service in a shorter time frame. Moreover, the possibility of human error remains an undeniable factor in this situation. In this context, an automated doctor-patient interaction system can mitigate such issues effectively. To achieve this, an automated system, PulmoConnect that enables doctors to deliver enhanced services to patients in significantly less time has been developed. Additionally, patients can directly seek assistance from doctors through this platform. The goal of the application is to enhance communication and effectively manage patient records, enabling coordinators and doctors to deliver prompt support and care. This system accommodates the development of two distinct mobile applications. One application designed for coordinators and doctors, known as the Hospital Staff App, includes interfaces for both the registration desk and the doctors and coordinators. Another application is designed for patients, allowing them to access their information and available services. In designing the system's front end, some of the latest technologies, like React Native Framework and Expo Development Platform have been used. For the backend, we have utilized Express.js and Node.js, with MongoDB serving as our database. This reflects the current status of the development so far. The remaining development tasks involve enabling coordinators to update patient information during revisits, edit existing details, and generate APK files for the applications.
