Abstract [en]

The need for efficient solutions in healthcare is clearly evident with the issue of hospitalovercrowding, the increasing shortage of trained personnel, and an aging population. Toaddress these challenges, the government has decided to invest in digital aids. Inresponse to this need, the Swift Vitals project has been initiated through collaborationwith the company Stixon AB. The concept enables a smooth and continuousmeasurement process that promotes proactive healthcare. The time-saving measurementprocess provides significantly more data in the form of health metrics. By analyzingtrends, healthcare professionals can take early action and thereby avoid acute care forpatients, which benefits a more proactive care environment.The assignment included the development of a concept consisting of three components:a sensor unit, a web application, and a database. The project has focused on carerecipients with cognitive impairment and has involved extensive information gatheringin consultation with professors from the university, the Leap For Life organization, andthe healthcare sector in Halland. An extensive feasibility study was conducted, whichinvolved visits to various care facilities and interviews with 25 individuals within thehealthcare sector. This feasibility study formed the basis of the project. During thedevelopment process, two students from KTH were involved, tasked with programmingthe web application and the database.The result was a fully functioning prototype with the potential for implementation inhealthcare. The prototype consists of a portable sensor unit that measures relevanthealth parameters for the target group. The sensor unit transmits the measurement datato the web application through a Wi-Fi connection. The web application offershealthcare professionals opportunities to visualize trends in historical measurementdata, along with other user-friendly features. All data is managed and stored in adatabase.This prototype has the potential to contribute to the efficiency of healthcare throughearly intervention and more informed decision-making. With strong conviction, theproject team envisions a bright and promising future for Swift Vitals.
