Este relatório sintetiza a experiência de estágio na Glintt, empresa líder em tecnologia da informação na área de saúde, de março a junho de 2023, focando na fase final de validação do projeto WoW, liderado pela empresa. O WoW é um dispositivo inovador de monitorização remota de saúde sem fios, visando resolver a limitação de mobilidade dos utentes no hospital e abrir caminho para melhores cuidados domiciliários, revolucionando a saúde digital. A abordagem envolveu a criação de adesivos de biomonitorização, que captam a resposta fisiológica do corpo, medindo os sinais vitais e os movimentos dos doentes. Estes wearables tiram partido de tecnologia Bluetooth para permitir uma comunicação sem fios e a transmissão de dados em tempo real. Para tal, foi implementada uma unidade IoT inteligente nas camas dos pacientes, para recolha e transmissão de dados. A integração dos dados apurados foi realizada através do software hospitalar Globalcare, seguindo o padrão FHIR para garantir a interoperabilidade com outros sistemas de informação. Os testes clínicos realizados e o feedback dos voluntários e profissionais de saúde foi crucial no aperfeiçoamento das diversas componentes para obter uma solução final funcional. A colaboração multidisciplinar entre engenheiros e profissionais de saúde foi essencial ao sucesso do projeto, pelo que nesta curta estadia se tornou evidente a importância da comunicação e do trabalho em equipa na resolução de problemas e na procura por soluções inovadoras. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram o potencial transformador do novo sistema, permitindo uma monitorização contínua dos pacientes simples e fiável, aumentando a comodidade dos utilizadores comparando com sistemas convencionais. Em suma, esta experiência de estágio foi enriquecedora e providenciou a oportunidade de contribuir para uma solução inovadora na otimização dos cuidados de saúde. Apesar dos desafios decorrentes, o foco na melhoria contínua permitiu que o conceito WoW se tornasse tangível e viável, provavelmente tendo um futuro promissor na substituição dos aparelhos tradicionais.
This report summarizes the internship experience at Glintt, a leading health information technology company, from March to June 2023, focusing on the final validation phase of the WoW project, led by the company. WoW is an innovative wireless remote health monitoring device aimed at resolving the limited mobility of users in hospital and paving the way for better home care, revolutionizing digital health. The approach involved the creation of biomonitoring patches, which capture the body's physiological response, measuring patient's vital signs and movements. These wearables take advantage of Bluetooth technology to enable wireless communication and real-time data transmission. To this end, an intelligent IoT unit was implemented in the patients' beds to collect and transmit data. The data collected was integrated using Globalcare hospital software, following the FHIR standard to guarantee interoperability with other information systems. The clinical trials carried out and the feedback from volunteers and health professionals was crucial in perfecting the various components to obtain a functional final solution. Multidisciplinary collaboration between engineers and healthcare professionals was essential to the project's success, so this short stay highlighted the importance of communication and teamwork in solving problems and finding innovative solutions. The results obtained demonstrated the transformative potential of this new system, enabling simple and reliable real-time patient monitoring and increasing user convenience compared to conventional systems. In short, this internship experience was enriching and provided the opportunity to contribute to an innovative solution for optimizing healthcare. Despite the challenges involved, the focus of the team on continuous improvement has allowed the WoW concept to become tangible and viable, and it probably has a promising future in replacing traditional devices.
