A portable solution that allows healthcare providers to use tablets as medical carts to perform diagnostic tasks and communicate with colleagues on the go increase their mobility and flexibility and reduce the cost of hardware.

Challenges & Design Solutions

Wi-Fi Strength Monitoring

Challenge
In a hospital or clinic, Wi-Fi signals can vary in strength depending on the location, leading to potential disruptions in connectivity. This can be particularly problematic when conducting virtual consultations.

Solution
By integrating Wi-Fi strength monitoring, the app can alert the user when the signal is weak, suggesting they move to a better location or switch to a different network. This ensures that critical data is not lost or delayed and that virtual consultations are not interrupted due to poor connectivity.

Battery Charge Management

Challenge
Tablets used in a healthcare setting are often on-the-go and may not always be near a charging station. If the battery runs low during a critical task, such as conducting a virtual consultation, it can lead to delays or even errors in patient care.

Solution
The app include a battery charge management feature that continuously monitors the battery level and provides alerts when the charge is low. It can also suggest optimal times to recharge based on the current workload or automatically dim the screen and limit background processes to extend battery life during low-charge situations.

Readiness of Device to Receive Incoming Calls

Challenge
In a busy healthcare environment, healthcare providers need to be reachable at all times, particularly for urgent consultations or patient updates. However, if a device is not ready to receive an incoming call (due to low battery charge or in use for another task), important communications can be missed.

Solution
The app can monitor the device’s readiness to receive incoming calls, ensuring that it remains in a state where calls can be answered promptly. This includes providing visual and auditory alerts.

Creation of New Virtual Consultation Rooms

Challenge
Coordinating virtual consultations between healthcare providers and patients can be cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple patients.

Solution
The app can streamline this process by allowing users to create new virtual consultation rooms with a single step. It can integrate with the hospital’s existing communication systems, automatically sending invitations to remote provider.
