Diseño e implementación de un prototipo de sistema E-HEALTH para una incubadora neonatal compatible con el protocolo HL7

Abstract

During this project, the construction process of a prototype neonatal incubator equipped with sensors to measure various physiological parameters has been executed. The overall objective has been to strengthen the care and monitoring of premature and sick newborns, this innovative device allows remote monitoring, supported by an intuitive user interface. The structure of the paper is composed of five chapters elaborated to address key aspects of the project. The introductory chapter establishes the conceptual basis that justifies the implementation of the device, delving into the importance and necessity of advancing neonatal care through advanced technologies. The second chapter details the prototype infrastructure, providing an overview of the design and assembly of the essential components to ensure optimal device performance. The third chapter dives into software development, a crucial aspect to enable remote monitoring of physiological parameters. The fourth chapter is devoted to extensive usability and system load testing, evaluating the device's efficiency, stability and ability to handle various conditions and demands, ensuring its robust performance in clinical settings. Finally, the fifth chapter presents the conclusions of the project, highlighting the achievements, lessons learned and recommendations for the future.
