Abstract
Ubiquitous healthcare system is becoming essential in the attempt to improve healthcare delivery. Not only it is able to facilitate two-way communication between physician and patient, but it is also useful for the caregivers to maximize efficiency in running daily activities. Managing ischemia heart disease, one of the deadly diseases, would definitely benefit from such ubiquitous healthcare system. The current treatment method for ischemia requires patients to be physically present at their respective treatment centres for regular monitoring. This increases the need for remote monitoring method, due to the urgent nature of treating ischemia heart attack. Therefore, this paper presents preliminary system architecture and feasibility study of HeartPals, a low-cost Android-based integrated wearable electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring system that enables ischemia patients to be remotely monitored by their physicians. We also propose TOFUSER, a Technology-Oriented Feasibility stUdy Scheme for End-useRs as an extended feasibility study scheme to allow users to verify the preliminary requirements of the technology and users' requirements of HeartPals.
