Abstract
En los últimos años, la evolución de las nuevas tecnologías en torno al
desarrollo de la medicina ha ido en aumento. Los smartphones están ocupando
un lugar imprescindible en la incorporación de este campo científico en la
sociedad. El uso de estas tecnologías no solo está disponible para los profesionales
de la medicina, sino que se está convirtiendo en una herramienta
que facilita a los ciudadanos el acceso a la consulta y resolución de dudas
relacionadas con la salud.
En este contexto, el presente proyecto diseña un sistema que mide los niveles
de saturación de oxígeno en sangre arterial, la frecuencia cardíaca y otros
parámetros fisiológicos derivados de los anteriores, como el ritmo respiratorio
y el estado emocional del usuario. El conjunto propuesto se compone de una
aplicación que se ejecuta en el terminal Android del usuario, en el que se
analiza y procesa sus constantes vitales a partir de valores medidos por un
pulsioxímetro y enviados por Bluetooth.
Esta aplicación está dirigida a un colectivo específico, como deportistas
de élite, personas con problemas cardiovasculares o profesionales en el área
de ciencias de la salud, que necesiten vigilar con frecuencia sus parámetros
fisiológicos. Blueheart facilita su consulta a través del smartphone, lo que
proporciona una solución alternativa, portable y asequible económicamente
a los equipos médicos que requieren la presencia del usuario en un centro
especializado.
En esta memoria, se realiza una comparativa entre la tecnología empleada
con otras aplicaciones similares desarrolladas en este ámbito o que han sido
probadas en proyectos piloto. Se analizan los requisitos de usuario, se elabora
un diseño del sistema y se implementa el prototipo de la aplicación. Por
último, se documentan las pruebas comparativas con equipamiento médico
homologado, y se plantea el presupuesto y las conclusiones del proyecto.
During the last few years the evolution of new technologies around the medical field has greatly increased. The smartphones are becoming essential in the process of incorporating this scientific field into the society. The use of this technology is not only available to the professionals but instead is becoming a tool that helps citizens to ask and solve questions related with their health. In this context, the project designs a system capable of measuring the levels of arterial blood oxygen, heart rate and other related physiological parameters such as breath rate or the emotional state of the patient. The overall setup is composed by an Android application executed in the user terminal which analyzes and process the vital signals sent by a pulsometer using Bluetooth technology. This application is targeted to a specific group like elite sportsmen, patients with heart problems or professionals in the area of health sciences, who need to check their vital constant with rather frequently. Bluehearth allows to monitorize them using the smartphone, which is an economically-suitable portable alternative to the specialized medical equipment that in most cases requires the presence of the patient in the medical center. The report conducts a comparative between our application and other similar systems developed in this scope or that have been tested in pilot programmes. It also contains the user requirement analysis, system design elaboration and prototype application implementation. Finally the comparative test with the homologated medical equipment is documented, a budget of the project is proposed and the conclusions are presented.
