====Problem Statements & Solutions==== | |||
Problems Statements: | |||
1. For elders, whether sick or not, to keep monitoring their health condition either by themselves, or by families or by their primary doctors is important. Those elders do not necessarily want to go to hospital very often but they still want to get medical advices or attention when they need/want to. A secured system that is able to provide an easy communication between patients, their family members, and doctors is therefore required. | |||
2. Current remote medical service systems out there already solve the problems of collecting data from devices, patients and then sending to doctors, but they are either segregated or owned separately by doctors/hospitals. Patients do not own their historical medical/clinical data. | |||
3. This Open Medical Platform, Eir, means to solve this problem. All the data collected from each web-enabled devices are accessible to patients. Patients can decide whom the data should be sent to. | |||
