Abstract:
This paper describes the design process for a mobile patient-centric, self-monitoring, symptom recognition and self intervention system supporting chronic cardiac disease management. The system design was undertaken in five phases, refining our concept from crude prototype to brass-board system ready for product development and experimental testing. Our system is composed of a mobile smart phone and wearable sensor suite linked through blue tooth and cell phone technology to a backend data repository, data mining, knowledge discovery, knowledge evolution and knowledge processing system, providing clinical data collection, procedural collection, intervention planning, medical situational assessment and health status feedback for users. The system aids patients in learning to recognize disease specific symptoms and understand the effect on their health of adherence to interventions.
