The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital is looking for ways to educate children on how to take care of their asthma.

Children are having trouble properly administering their medicine

Logging respiratory tests with a peak flow meter

Failure to properly use a metered dose inhaler (MDI)

The hospital currently has no way of accurately tracking/educating their patients on how to use their medication.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Our goal is to help children recognize when their medical conditions are deteriorating, while also improving communication between children and parents.

Promote the proper use of medication and medical hardware.

Provide a fun, interactive, approach to asthma medication; while allowing physicians and parents alike to discretely monitor the children’s symptoms and medical data.

OBJECTIVES

At first, the physician opens up the initial log in screen. After log in, the physician is welcomed into the system via the user interface.

1. Log in screen

THE SYSTEM

2. The welcome greeting

From there, the physician is given the option to Add, Remove, Edit, and View users on the system; via the user interface. The physician is also allowed to view the patient health report which is stored in the patient information database.

THE SYSTEM (Physician Options)

3. The main screen

The Physician, Parent, and Patient are allowed to view their specific health report via the user interface.

HEALTH REPORT

4. The patient’s health report

After the user is created, he/she is allowed to run the interactive guide. At first they are asked four health related questions.

This is an example of our database output written in SQL. The timestamp is recorded followed by the Peak Flow Readings (PFR), Peak Flow Reading Percentage (Compared to all time best reading), and the current Health Zone the user is in. Alert is the final column and indicates (!) when a user enters the danger zone. In this example 590 is the best all time reading.
