Comprehensive Healthcare Management System
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
1. System overview
Main components:
Patient side
Handheld devices:
Blood pressure monitor (BLE)
Blood glucose meter (BLE)
Thermometer (contact + contactless, BLE)
Weight scale (BLE)
Android app: - already developped
Cloud backend
Core APIs & database (patients, doctors, readings, prescriptions, appointments, alerts)
AI services (decision support, risk scoring, nutrition & exercise suggestions)
Integration services (ambulances, hospitals, pharmacies, SMS/email/push)
Web portals
Doctor portal
Patient web portal (optional, in addition to app)
Admin portal
2. Data flow (end‑to‑end)
Measurement
Patient uses BP / glucose / thermometer / scale.
Device sends data via BLE → Android app.
On the Android app
App parses each reading (BP, glucose, temp, weight).
Stores in local database (Room).
Updates graphs & statistics:
Per day, per week, per month
Averages, min/max, trends
Marks readings as “unsynced”.
Sync to server
When online + logged in:
App sends batched readings to backend via HTTPS.
Backend stores them and returns success.
App marks readings as “synced”.
On the server
New readings trigger:
AI analysis (risk level, anomalies, trends).
Doctor notifications (if thresholds exceeded).
Data becomes visible in:
Doctor portal (per patient timeline, charts).
Patient portal/app (history, advice, prescriptions).
Doctor actions
Doctor reviews readings + AI suggestions.
Doctor:
Confirms or changes treatment plan.
Writes or updates prescription.
Sends instructions or messages to patient.
System generates digital script and sends to:
Patient app
Pharmacy module (if integrated)
Patient side again
Patient receives:
Updated medication plan
Nutrition and exercise guidance
Appointment confirmations
Can:
Book appointments
Ask questions
Request ambulance
Emergency / ambulance
Patient taps “Emergency / Call ambulance” in app.
App sends:
Patient ID, GPS location, current readings, risk level
Backend:
Contacts ambulance service API or dispatch center
Notifies hospital with patient details
Ambulance picks up patient at location.
4. Backend architecture
4.1 Core services
API gateway
Authenticates Android app, web portals, integrations.
Patient service
Patients, profiles, consents.
Doctor service
Doctors, specialties, schedules.
Measurement service
Stores BP, glucose, temp, weight.
Provides history, stats, trends.
Prescription service
Manages scripts, renewals, pharmacy integration.
Appointment service
Booking, rescheduling, reminders.
Notification service
Push, SMS, email.
4.2 AI / decision support
Risk engine
Inputs:
BP trends, glucose trends, temp, weight/BMI
Medication history
Symptoms reported by patient
Outputs:
Risk level (low/medium/high)
Alerts (e.g., “possible hypertensive crisis”, “possible infection/fever”)
Suggestions for doctor (not final decisions)
Patient‑facing AI
Only gives:
Lifestyle advice (nutrition, exercise, sleep)
Education (what readings mean, when to seek help)
Never changes medication directly—only doctor does.
Doctor‑facing AI
Summarizes:
Last X days of readings
Response to medication changes
Possible diagnoses to consider
Questions to ask the patient
Doctor always has final say.
