Alert to Care

This project implements a service that receives measurements from devices that monitor patients. It's part of a solution that provides care in an ICU.

It has two segments:

1. The API - Both GUI and non-GUI clients can consume this.
2. The GUI, which is one client of the API

About the clients:

• GUI-clients are for standalone use of this product.
• Non-GUI clients are other systems that need to integrate with this product.

This project implements automated tests, which behave as a non-GUI client.

[Segment 1] Web API

The product API covers the following user-stories.

Configuration

A setup-client needs to configure an ICU. Context: This configuration relates the alerts to a patient-bed

Acceptance criteria: The configuration needs to include:

• Number of beds
• Bed-identification
• Layout information

Occupancy Interface

An occupancy-management-client needs to set the status of each bed

• Occupancy of each bed
• Enter Patient details
• Discharging a patient

Monitoring

A monitoring-client needs to act on alerts Subscribers can be a GUI, an SMS service, a mobile app, etc.

Provide a facility to turn off alarms

REST API guidelines

• Introductory guide
• Microsoft REST API guideline

[Segment 2] User-interface

User-story: Setup

As Operations, I need to setup the ICU alert-service and its interface

Example: The hospital has an ICU with 12 beds. I need to setup the server, install the software and configure the number and layout of the beds.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The setup can have a maximum of 4 manual steps. All manual steps shall be at the beginning or the end of installation. (Manual steps in the middle of installation are confusing for operations)
• Errors during the setup shall produce logs. These logs will lead to repair-actions by Operations.
• The layouts provided shall cater to a minimum of two common ICU layouts

User-story: Manage Occupancy

As a nurse, I need to set the occupancy of beds

Example: When admission or discharge occurs, I need a GUI to mark the bed

Acceptance Criteria:

• There shall be no alerts shown from empty beds. Don’t assume that the patient monitor has a network-interface to shut it down.
• Admission and discharge shall be possible with a maximum of 3 clicks.

User-story: Respond to care

As a nurse, I need to manage and respond to alerts

Example: After I’ve handled an alert of a patient’s parameter, I need to reset it on the GUI

Acceptance Criteria:

• Resetting an alert of a patient’s parameter shall be possible with a single click
• It shall be possible to undo the reset (a single click can be a mistake)
• Optional: Patient-specific alerts: It shall be possible to configure the thresholds per patient
