Interactive HealthCare Device
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummaryMost of the health monitoring systems that exist, up to date, are only capable of detecting a few health
parameters i.e. heart rate, blood pressure, etc. which although are useful but provide no useful
information. The information detected has only a minimal utilization. Moreover, the actual diagnosis of a
particular disease requires more symptoms like chest pain, dizziness and difficulty in breathing etc. These
symptoms cannot be detected by any sensors and the diagnosis relies only on direct interaction with the
patient. In short, the system of operation of most of these devices is passive in nature (these are not
interactive). Unlike, these passive functioning systems, that have been created in the past and exist in the
market today, our project aims to build a system working on an active mode of operation making it
capable of detecting the possible issues in addition to utilizing the calculations provided by the sensors.
Utilizing the calculated data, it would further also be capable of making recommendations to the users to
take the necessary/required steps in real time. Furthermore, the information acquired by our interactive
health monitoring system will be communicated to the concerned treating physician.
Utilizing the previously neglected features, our device operates in an active nature. Having an active
mode of operation allows us to solve the loophole left by most of the previous health monitoring devices.
Utilizing this function, our device would interact with the user and take input from the user on their health
condition. Based on the input provided by the user, it decides whether it needs to utilize sensors to
determine parameters such as pulse, temperature, etc. and provides timely response based on this input.
Utilizing the data provided by the user and the sensors, it then suggests the possible health issue and also
recommends the further steps that the user should take about the issue at hand. Our interactive health
monitoring system takes input from user by asking questions related to health problem being faced by the
user. Sensor are used to examine factors such as pulse and body temperature.
The device operates by using the medical database to generate questions for the user and takes in data
from the user in form of answers to the questions. Based on the input, provided by the user, it decides
whether it requires using the sensors to determine parameters such as pulse rate, etc. It continues to store
the collected data in a storage device until the interrogation procedure is completed.
Once the interrogation procedure has been completed, it utilizes the data stored in the memory to compare
and match them with the model in the database. The research is then narrowed down by the matching and
analysis of the obtained data which is then used for making predictions about the possible type of issue
being faced by the user. The predictions on the research are further refined for the identification of the
health issue.
Following are goals and objectives of our device:
- Interactive
- Built in Sensors
- Cheap Solution for common health issues
- Built in database containing the hierarchy of common health issues
- Handheld and Wearable
- Keep record of users health readings
- Automatically activated at specific times of day
- Alternative to follow up trips to doctor

We believe that this device would have multiple industrial applications. By building this device, we will
be providing a cheap health care and monitoring alternative to the general public. We could reach out to
the people that aren’t able to afford multiple trips to the medical centers. The device could also be installed in the hospital wards and made to serve as the a replacement of the initial medical checkup procedure and make recommendations on which doctor to see, to speed up the process.
The device could be made available in majority of the backward areas using the governments help. This device can be used by
people from all social circle due to its simple interface and bilingual mode. It is more than capable of
becoming a common household item very soon just like the smartphones, tablets and computers.
An interactive device with built in database that interacts with the user to diagnose the health issue being
faced by them. It could be operated in two modes i.e. voice control and push buttons. Our device would
be portable which would allow it to have features such as being handheld/wearable. The device would
keep records of the users and therefore, could be used by multiple users. The record keeping ability would
allow it to better understand the patient by having a history of their previous medical records. To allow it
to be used by majority, it could be operated in Urdu and English. In the final demonstration, the device
would be made to detect the disease or health related issue being faced by a model patient and would be
made to suggest a proper action, to be performed, to the patient.
