An Application to Integrate Remote Vital Signs in a Real-Time Video Telehealth Call

Telehealth has increased in prevalence and use since the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increase in need of functions associated with the platform. Telehealth has many associated components and challenges within the system. A key challenge of telehealth and platforms is the obtaining of vital signals during an appointment in real time due to the remote location of the patient. A web application has been developed to transmit the vital health data from the patient to the doctor, alongside a telehealth call taking place. The chosen platform used was WebEx to be able to use its APIs. The application performed well for what it was designed for, but problems during and surrounding the development hindered progress.
