Abstract
Description
The increased demand for successful patient monitoring in the rehabilitation centers has drawn attention to the necessity of implementing the new technology and using its power in the sphere of patient safety and the efficiency of the working process in general. This project shows the progress of implementation of a wearable GPS tracker which will be used to track patients in real-time. The system also includes constant monitoring of the location, geofencing and occasional boundary violations, and maintaining an entire history of the motion, which is viewed through a database and an easy dashboard. The system can also make patient care more personalized and responsive as well as making the patients safer and minimizing the likelihood of wandering incidents by combining GPS technology with the modern, wireless communications systems and an easy-to-use interface. Moreover, the solution helps the healthcare provider make decisions based on data and improves the quality of the rehabilitation services on a general basis. Finally, the project will help in evolving the digital health tools considering some of the fundamental challenges facing patient management by using robust tracking technology.
