The Design of Medical Assistant System for Ward Doctors

To help the ward doctors care inpatients better, a medical assistant system is designed in this paper. The functions of this system include basic information (electronic records) operation and healthcare information (ECG, Pulse, etc.,) measurement. Comparing with the conventional systems, our system is at a low cost because no special hardware or software is needed, and a personal digital assistant (PDA) or tablet personal computer can be used as the doctor's terminal. The current system is composed with three parts: the measurement system for health information, the server side in doctor's office and the client side for ward doctors. The system has been tested in the experiment and a wireless LAN is used as the transferring condition.
