As previously reported, employees of Lviv Polytechnic National University developed a mobile application for remote monitoring of pulmonary function. It is called Healthy Lung and is designed to transmit data on blood oxygen levels directly from the patient to the doctor.
The developer and project manager is Anatolii Melnyk, Head of the Department of Electronic Computing Machines, the Institute of Computer Technologies, Automation and Metrology. He says that Lviv Polytechnic received funding from the Francophone University Agency. Anatolii Melnyk has been working on the development with a team of students and postgraduate students since May.
- HealthyLungs Patient and HealthyLungs Doctor. These are the two applications. Today, they transmit indicators of blood oxygen concentration levels, heart rate and respiratory rate, says Anatolii Melnyk.
Developer Bohdan Havanio, an assistant at the ECM Department, notes that the equipment was tested on themselves and tells about the peculiarities of its work:
- You look at the data and want the doctor to see these data as well. You have several ways. You can endlessly call him, write (this is also an option) or live with him. Or you can just connect our application, which will collect this data itself and send them to him. The doctor opens his application without anxiety, looks at the list of patients and that is all, says Bohdan Havanio.
The new development can already be downloaded from the Healthy Lungs website. The application is currently running in test mode.
