Hemodialysis Patient Management System Using Mobile Application

Abstract

The Darul Ta'zim Haemodialysis Centre is one of the dialysis clinics located in Paritt Raja, Batu Pahat. This center has been in operation for a long time and provides hemodialysis treatment to the surrounding community. However, nurses manually manage clinics for all treatment and appointment information. All patient information has to be documented and more space is required to store all files. Unfortunately, such documentation is less effective because there is no systematic way to access all records more easily. This can cause data loss, redundant documentation and takes a long time to monitor and update information. Therefore, a hemodialysis patient management system using mobile application is developed to assist the dialysis centre to have better information management of their patients, and history treatment recorded in the system. Additionally, the patient can access the scheduled appointment via the system, and the center can easily change and update it within the system. The project involved three users such as administration, health care worker and dialysis patients. The project is then carried out using an object-oriented approach and the Ionic framework for developing mobile applications. It is expected that the system will improve the management of haemodialysis patient information. In conclusion, a hemodialysis patient management system using the mobile app could help nurses and doctors in their day-to-day business processes as well as patients.
