A home care service platform for mobile healthcare

To improve the quality of healthcare services and reduce the burden on medical staff, this study proposed a homecare service platform for mobile healthcare to effectively assist medical staff in carrying out home visits and homecare services. The portability and functionality of a smart phone, aids with tasks such as data download, synchronized operation, and photo or video recording. The smart phone allows medical staff to retrieve patients' electronic medical records and complete information at any time without reviewing numerous paper documents. When medical staff needs to change the address for a patient, check the patient's condition and complication in wound healing, or verify a patient's mental status, they can use the smart phone to fill out the record forms and use digital images to record a patient's status for long-term tracking, which improve the efficiency and service quality of homecare.
