Proposed project for 2021:

Clinical Nursing for Children

In wealthy countries, hospitals use complex clinical information systems to capture and analyse data such as heart rate, respiration, oxygen saturation, temperature etc. In countries like Myanmar, nurses working in child healthcare have no access to computers that could be used to monitor and chart the condition of multiple patients every 1-2 hours over the course of their treatment. Your goal is to design a mobile app that can be used to capture data, generate clinically relevant output and empower nurses to escalate patient care as appropriate. Challenges will include transferring data between shifts, protecting patient confidentiality, and potentially integrating with existing apps.
