Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science in Engineering, Youngstown State University, Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.
The aim of this research was to establish a framework for the development and design of a remote and safe monitoring system (telehealth system) for chronically diseased patients by using available wearable wireless sensors that are woven or knitted in smart textiles. When these sensors collect patient data, whether from a chronic diabetic or a chronic cardiac patient, it is sent via smart phones to the medical care system. This work benefits from the new applications available in smart phones by saving data and sending it to nearby caregiver centers, emergency centers, or any family member if the case is urgent. This system consists of a safety monitoring system which involves detecting falls and sending alarm messages to a medical provider or an emergency response team by using an open source smart phone application. The resulting signal is then relayed to the hospital or clinic server. In addition, the use of “air bag” technology protects patients if they fall. Since the number of chronic patients is increasing, the goal of this system is to optimize the role of the doctor in following patients remotely without any need for appointments and long waits, thus improving the patient experience and leading to a decrease in mortality cases among chronic patients. The development of a framework for synthesis and implementation of a long-term, safe and remote monitoring system is offered in this research as a conceptualization strategy for designers. The framework is illuminated via a prototype e-system for demonstration of design, fabrication, and use.
