Healthcare & Digital Technology


Healthcare Technologies• Health IT– Electronic Medical Records– Big Data– Cloud Computing

• Devices– Smartphones, Tablets, PCs– Beacons– Sensors


14

Nurses StationScenario


Nurses Station• Common medical office scenario using IoT functionality in RAD Studio XE8. • Custom EMS endpoints for logging in, receiving push notifications, querying

recorded vitals and more.• Patient check-in via smartphone application upon arrival, notified via EMS push

notification when the nurse is ready.• Upon the patient check-in, nurse notified via EMS push notification. • Beacons for proximity awareness

– As patient enters waiting room– Patient arrives at nurses station

• Nurse’s tablet app uses BluetoothLE devices to gather patient vitals.• Vital recordings are stored in EMS using an InterBase database.

15


The Nurses Station Architecture• Apps integration via EMS– FireMonkey, mobile, VCL– Push notifications, AppAnalytics

• Internet of Things– Device integration via BluetoothLE

• Heart Rate Monitor• Weight Scale

– Beacons

16


Beacon Technical Details• Beacon #1: Located in the waiting room.

– Patient walks near beacon with smartphone app running– App detects the beacon and displays a message telling the patient that they can

now check-in.– A login screen is shown where the patient can login to his medical account

using existing EMS credentials.– Nurse receives a push notification via EMS on her tablet saying that the patient

is ready to be seen.– Nurse confirms the user, and patient receives a push notification on the phone

saying the nurse is ready.

17


Beacon Technical Details• Beacon #2: Located in room with heartrate monitor and

scale– Detects the user and updates the nurses tablet app with the

patient’s name– Nurses tablet app allows her to verify the patient name and

connect to BluetoothLE heartrate monitor and scale.– Patient recordings are stored in an InterBase database.
