Hospital Assistant

This assistant tracks a patient's daily doses and alerts the nurse of emergency events.

System characteristics

Sending commands and requesting data

The system is capable of receiving commands from the BT App to take action over actuators or get sensor/events data. For example, the nurse receives reminders whenever the patient needs a pill or an emergency event is triggered.

Displaying patient status locally

The system has an interface that shows how many pills a patient has taken during the day. Also, an alarm is triggered whenever en emergency button is pressed.

Your system should behave as follows

• Controlling daily doses
  • If patient takes X pills, display the ones already administered (+1 pill when a button is pressed either BT or Grove push button)
  • The nurse receives reminders when a pill has to be administered
• Emergency button
  • An emergency event will be triggered when a button is pressed by the patient
  • A notification will be sent to the nurse via BT in case of emergency events
