Introduction
As technology continues to advance, healthcare solutions are becoming smarter and more efficient, especially for home care services. The Nursing Care Plus Home system is an innovative product designed to enhance in-home patient monitoring and streamline communication between caregivers, patients, and healthcare administrators. This system, developed by GITS, aims to improve the quality of care for patients while making it easier for healthcare providers to manage and monitor their conditions remotely.
Understanding our customer’s needs
The demand for advanced healthcare solutions in home settings is increasing, especially for elderly and chronically ill patients. Many patients require continuous monitoring of their health parameters, such as urine output and body temperature, to ensure their well-being. Traditional home care services cannot often track real-time health data efficiently, leading to delays in response and potential risks to patient health.
To address these challenges, our customer—a company specializing in healthcare devices—developed a product line called Shereve. This line includes specialized diapers equipped with sensors to collect vital patient information. Using this data, the company aims to develop a comprehensive nursing care solution for home use.
Our solutions
To create a fully integrated system for home healthcare, GITS developed a three-part solution:
1. Cloud-based data collection
The cloud infrastructure acts as the backbone of the Nursing Care Plus Home System. It collects and stores patient information from Shereve’s smart devices, ensuring that all necessary data is securely saved and can be accessed by healthcare providers at any time.
The system’s cloud platform is AWS (Amazon Web Services), which efficiently handles vast amounts of real-time data. This cloud-based approach allows for seamless data transmission and secure storage, ensuring that sensitive patient information remains protected.
2. Mobile application for nurses
A dedicated mobile application for nurses enables healthcare professionals to receive real-time updates about their patients. Through the app, nurses can:
- Access patient health records instantly
- Monitor real-time sensor data
- Receive alerts if a patient’s condition changes
- Update patient information and communicate with the care agency
This application, built using Flutter, ensures smooth cross-platform functionality, making it accessible on both Android and iOS devices.
3. Web-based monitoring system for administrators
In addition to the nurse’s app, GITS developed a web application for care facility administrators. This monitoring system allows managers to:
- Oversee multiple patients at once
- Monitor nurses’ responses and interventions
- Send messages and alerts to caregivers
- Analyze patient health trends over time
Using Node.js and React.js, the web-based platform offers an intuitive and responsive interface, ensuring that administrators can efficiently manage home care operations.
How the system works
The Nursing Care Plus Home System functions through seamless integration of smart devices, cloud storage, and mobile/web applications. Here’s how it works step-by-step:
Data collection via smart devices
- Patients wear Shereve’s smart diapers, which are equipped with sensors that detect urine levels, temperature changes, and other vital signs.
- These sensors use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) to transmit data to a home gateway device.
Transmission to cloud servers
- The home gateway device processes and stores data locally.
- It then transmits the information to cloud servers using Wi-Fi or mobile networks.
Data access and alerts for nurses
- Nurses receive real-time notifications via the mobile app.
- They can check patient details, analyze trends, and update records as needed.
- If a patient’s health deteriorates, the system sends urgent alerts to ensure prompt action.
Administrator oversight
- Care managers access patient data through the web application.
- They monitor patient conditions, track nursing activities, and provide support as needed.
Technologies used
To ensure a reliable and efficient system, GITS utilized cutting-edge technologies:
- Mobile Application: Built using Flutter, allowing cross-platform compatibility on iOS and Android.
- Cloud & Web Technologies:
- AWS for secure cloud storage and data processing.
- Node.js for backend services, ensuring high performance and scalability.
- React.js for a responsive and user-friendly web application.
The benefits of the Nursing Care Plus Home system
This system brings numerous advantages for both patients and healthcare providers:
- Real-time monitoring – Nurses and caregivers can track patient health conditions instantly, ensuring timely intervention when needed.
- Better communication – The system bridges the gap between nurses, patients, and administrators, improving coordination and reducing response times.
