A SOFTWARE SOLUTION FOR REAL-TIME COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF MEDICAL DATA FOR EPILEPSY PATIENTS

Abstract

The rapid development of computer technologies has significantly impacted various sectors, including healthcare. The ability to collect, process, and visualize medical data in real time is becoming increasingly important, especially for managing chronic conditions such as epilepsy. This paper presents a web-based application designed for real-time monitoring of health indicators, enabling healthcare professionals to track patient data efficiently. The system automates the process of collecting data from fitness trackers, transmitting it via a mobile device to a server, and visualizing it in a web application. Its architecture employs a thin-client model with Node.js for backend logic and React.js for the user interface, ensuring scalability and responsiveness. Key features include real-time data visualization, historical trend analysis, and the ability to export health metrics for further examination. The system architecture follows a modular approach, with a clear separation of concerns between the client-side, server-side, and database components. MongoDB is used as the database provider, offering flexibility in handling large volumes of health data. The system underwent extensive testing in two stages. During the first stage, real-world data collection demonstrated an average data transmission time of less than 112 ms, ensuring compliance with real-time requirements. In the second stage, stress testing with up to 100 simultaneous users showed an average server response time of 145.8 ms and a 95th percentile response time of 167.1 ms. These results confirm the system’s robustness and suitability for deployment in medical facilities. Future work aims to enhance the system by incorporating advanced real-time alert mechanisms and additional health metrics, such as oxygen saturation and activity levels, to provide comprehensive monitoring. The presented solution showcases the potential of integrating modern web technologies into healthcare, contributing to improved patient outcomes and more efficient workflows for medical professionals.
