Development of Method and Architecture of a Mobile Application for Remote Monitoring of the Current State of a Person, Based on Vital Signs Data Detected from Sensors

The purpose of research development of method and architecture of a mobile application that allows remote monitoring of the current state of a person (patient) using high-tech phone sensors, smart watches or fitness bracelets.

Methods. Yearly, the number of people (patients) who need regular care and monitoring of their current state of health increases exponentially. Nowadays, methods and systems of remote monitoring of a patient in pandemic times have become widely in demand along with classical (traditional) methods used in medical institutions. Thanks to the development of such methods and modern technologies, doctors can provide medical services any time and in any place in the mode as close to real time as possible. This article provides an analysis of existing methods of remote monitoring of patients and suggests a new method that allows you to track the current state of the patient on the basis of the VSP, such as: activities, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen level in blood, stress level, sleep- extracted using phone, smartwatch or fitness bracelet sensors. The developed general architecture of the Android-based mobile application is also presented. Medical methods of remote monitoring of patients were used to solve the goal set for us, while writing the article. Methods of mathematical modelling, system analysis, software engineering, object-oriented programming and human- machine interaction design technologies were used to develop the overall architecture of the mobile application.

Results. The analysis of existing methods of remote monitoring of patients was carried out, reflecting their main advantages and disadvantages; a new way of tracking the current state of patients is presented; the general architecture of the mobile application has been developed.

Conclusion. Based on the work done, we can conclude that the proposed method is no less effective and accessible to patients (people) in comparison with other proposed methods. It allows improvement of the interaction between patient and doctor. It will give a possibility to doctors, as well as relatives, to respond promptly to any changes in the patient's state of health.
