ALERT FRAMEWORK Sri Harsha Sudhir

INTRODUCTION A framework which continuously monitors data associated with a patient in a hospital and derives an inference from this data based on certain pre-defined rules and reports the inference to the concerned medical personnel.

Data Stream Logic Sub System Configuration Block Administrator’s GUI Messaging Subsystem Resource Handler Response Handler ALERT FRAMEWORK

MOTIVATION Wide application in many commercial domains (specially in medical field). Reduces response time of a medical personnel enormously – automated intimation to the medical personnel about condition and location of a patient on the fly Several technologies involved in the design of this project – XML, Java servelets, socket programming, etc.

WORK INVOLVED Study of similar work at other places  A Functional Approach to Integrating Database and Expert Systems, by Torei Risch, Reni Reboh, Peter Hart, And Richard Duda.  A Web-Enabled FRAMEWORK for SMART CARD Application in Health Services, by Alvin T.S. Chan, Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce Laboratory, Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Requirements analysis – Get clear with the requirements and feasibility issues System Design – Designed the overview Implementation of the system – Converted design to code Deployment – Deployed the working system in a simulated scenario Testing – Developed the test cases to validate the software WORK INVOLVED (continued)

FEATURES Rules that can be changed according to the situation (only by a qualified medical personnel) PHResult lessthan 7.34 PCO2Result greaterthan 40 doctor urgent

FEATURES Continuous and real-time monitoring of patient information Extensive use of different configurable messaging modes Attempt to make fully configurable system

The implementation is component based with definite interfaces defined for every component Developed using the Java Programming language XML has been used for designing the rules TECHNICAL DETAILS

We have used a client/server model for messaging the user and also receiving a response Java Servlets has been used to design the UI TECHNICAL DETAILS

Can be extensively used for patient monitoring system. A scalable system Extendable to other fields – Weather forecasting, Share value monitoring, etc. Loosely coupled and hence scalable to great extent. USP

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS Though an attempt is made still the system can be made completely configurable More messaging modes can be added Other types of rules (rate of change) can be added Generation of graphical alerts to the user.(Integration with Mobile Heart Center)
