Abstract(s)
A ideia para este trabalho nasceu devido ao quadro pandémico que ocorreu entre 2020 e
2022, onde fomos obrigados a ficar em casa e a manter o distanciamento social. Contudo, em
locais onde o isolamento impera, e onde existem idosos que vivem sozinhos sem qualquer
tipo de vigia regular, onde muitas vezes, a distância e as localizações remotas com os difíceis
acessos, dificultam a chegada da ajuda, o que por vezes pode ser fatal. Tendo isto em conta,
pretende-se, portanto, criar um sistema que permita a monitorização regular do estado de
saúde geral destes idosos, contribuindo assim, para uma melhoria na sua segurança e
qualidade de vida. Este projeto vem então oferecer uma solução para, nestes locais remotos e
isolados, se conseguir manter uma monitorização diária do estado de saúde geral destes
idosos. Cada idoso irá ter em sua casa um módulo de aquisição de dados, o que fará com que
possam todos os dias registar os seus parâmetros fisiológicos de saturação de oxigénio,
frequência cardíaca e temperatura corporal. No final da leitura, os valores serão enviados por
Wi-Fi ou GPRS para um servidor na Cloud. A junta de freguesia da aldeia e/ou o quartel dos
bombeiros mais próximo, poderão ter acesso a este servidor, e visualizar os dados em tempo
real através da interface de utilizador. Caso algum idoso obtenha uma leitura crítica, é gerada
uma notificação pop-up no ecrã a indicar qual o utente que obteve aquela leitura e a respetiva
data e hora a que a mesma foi feita. Desta forma, seria possível enviar uma unidade médica
de urgência à morada do idoso, de forma pró-ativa, evitando assim complicações do estado
de saúde do mesmo. Também nestes casos, um ou mais familiares do idoso podem ser
notificados via e-mail pelo sistema. Os alertas gerados devido a leituras críticas de cada idoso
serão guardados numa base de dados dedicada, por forma a conseguir manter um histórico
de cada idoso, permitindo assim o rastreio de uma eventual patologia. No final, foi então
possível criar um sistema funcional que serve de prova de conceito para uma implementação
futura de forma escalável.
The idea for this work was born due to the pandemic that occurred between 2020 and 2022, where we were forced to stay at home and maintain social distancing. However, in places where isolation prevails, and where there are elderly people who live alone without any kind of regular supervision, where often, the distance and remote locations with difficult access make it difficult for help to arrive, which can sometimes be fatal. Taking this into account, the aim is, therefore, to create a system that allows regular monitoring of the general health status of these elderly people, thus contributing to an improvement in their safety and quality of life. This project therefore offers a solution for daily monitoring of the general health status of these elderly people in these remote and isolated locations. Each elderly person will have a data acquisition module in their home, which will allow them to record their physiological parameters of oxygen saturation, heart rate and body temperature every day. Once the reading is complete, the values will be sent via Wi-Fi or GPRS to a server in the Cloud. The village parish council and/or the nearest fire station will be able to access this server and view the data in real time through the user interface. If an elderly person obtains a critical reading, a pop-up notification will be generated on the screen indicating which user obtained the reading and the respective date and time it was taken. In this way, it would be possible to send an emergency medical unit to the elderly person's address, proactively, thus avoiding complications to their health status. In these cases, one or more of the elderly person's family members can also be notified via email through the system. The alerts generated due to critical readings of each elderly person will be saved in a dedicated database, in order to maintain a history of each elderly person, thus allowing the tracking of any possible pathology. In the end, it was then possible to create a functional system that serves as a proof of concept for a future implementation in a scalable way.
