Personal Medical Assistant

Many people suffer such  medical conditions that they have to take multiple medications more than once a day for long duration of time. If they fail to take these medications on schedule causes significant health consequences. A survey of group of doctors, healthcare providers and patients have completed an ongoing previous project, to determine the desired requirements for a two-part system. A small hand-held device as a first part, which will remind people to take their medications. A set of software as a second part for a personal computer in a doctor's office. When the hand-held device is connected to the personal computer, a medical staff person will enter the medication schedule into the personal computer and download it into the hand-held device. This part of the project will develop an expanded version of the first system. The new system will allow a person to enter vital information, such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and blood sugar level into the expanded hand-held device as requested by the doctor at specific times between appointments with the doctor. When prompted by the device, the person would enter the requested information. The recorded information would be retrieved and uploaded to the personal computer in the doctor's office for review by the doctor, during the next appointment with the doctor.
