Bachelor thesis by Yannick Stelzner, software developer
\n“Conception and realization of a vital signs monitoring app based on the use of in-ear wearables”.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

In the TELECOVID study<\/a> by Prof. Dr. Schmidt of the Klinikum rechts der Isar (TU Munich), which has been running since April 2020, Covid 19 patients are being monitored remotely in home isolation using cosinuss\u00b0 in-ear wearables. This solution attempts to relieve hospitals and staff in the Covid-19 pandemic by monitoring the following vital signs of the patients at home: Oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature. Under the supervision of medical staff, the patients’ data are analyzed on an online dashboard in the clinic and – if necessary – hospitalization is initiated.

Goal: Mobile vital signs monitoring via smartphone<\/h2><\/div>

Until now, however, neither the medical staff of the Klinikum rechts der Isar nor the patients themselves had the option of viewing the recorded vital signs in a mobile way, for example on their smartphones. For this reason, I set out to develop a mobile solution in my bachelor thesis. With the realization of an application, it should be possible to map various functions of the cosinuss\u00b0 server – in particular the display of the data records – so that the measured data can be accessed and analyzed by the medical staff and the patients on their smartphones in the future.<\/p>\n

In my bachelor thesis I specifically dealt with the factors that have to be considered for a conception of the planned app as well as with the final realization.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Special requirements of mobile patient monitoring<\/h2><\/div>

To ensure structured and reliable development, various requirements had to be taken into account in advance, some of which play a role in remote patient monitoring<\/a> in particular. These include:<\/p>\n
