Project Overview

iPhone application for remote patient monitoring. Connects to users Apple Health which aggregates health measurements from iPhone, smart watches, and other smart devices. The application then sends the data to Avicenna via API to be viewed by the patients doctor.

Background

In recent years, advancements in technology have revolutionized the healthcare industry, offering new opportunities to enhance patient care and improve health outcomes. Among these innovations, the increase in wearable devices has opened up exciting possibilities for remote patient monitoring, enabling healthcare providers to monitor their patients' health conditions and intervene proactively when necessary. Recognizing the potential of this technology, Avicenna moved to build a mobile app for remote patient monitoring that connects seamlessly with Apple Health, a comprehensive health data repository on the iPhone.

The primary objective of the application is to empower both patients and healthcare providers with a convenient and efficient means of monitoring health measurements and sharing critical information. By leveraging the capabilities of Apple Health, the application aggregates health data collected from various sources, including the iPhone itself, smartwatches, and other compatible smart devices. This comprehensive data collection process ensures that healthcare professionals receive a holistic view of their patients' health, enabling them to make informed decisions and provide personalized care.

One of the key advantages of the application is its ability to transmit health data securely and seamlessly to Avicenna, a trusted healthcare management platform, through an Application Programming Interface (API). This integration allows the patients' healthcare providers to access and review patient health data in real-time, regardless of their physical location. By bridging the gap between patients and doctors, AviTracks facilitates remote monitoring, reduces the need for in-person visits, and promotes timely interventions, especially for individuals with chronic conditions or those requiring ongoing care.
