OLED Research (Research that didn't make it into the final in-class presentation)

As our research got to the point of causing our final powerpoint in class to overflow with way too many slides, we compiled a separate powerpoint dedicated just to research, including (as you'll see below) a lot of good information on OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology as a viable technology for the market within the next few years.  You can also view a huge list of sources below, basically our appendix from the entire project's development.

Another Touch-Screen Interface Design: Fingerprint Authentication

After beating a couple of different log-on ideas back and forth, our design team finally decided that the best option would be touch-screen fingerprint authentication, as seen below.  Each nurse and hospital staff member who regularly uses the device is logged into the system, and as such, only those who work in the hospital can log on with their unique finger print.  This allows multiple users to share the device, but at the same time this deters theft of the device, as no one outside of the hospital would be able to use it.  While nurses are in charge of utilising Juvo, our enterprise (the external third party delivering this service) is in charge of managing and maintaining the information systems side of it, making sure that the technology keeps working so that the nurses don't have to worry about it.  Anyway, here's a view of the log-on authentication screen:

Final Technical Drawings for PSS

Communications Analysis Diagram for Juvo Nurse's Aide

We're approaching the final stages of our project's development, and here's a look at how Juvo is incorporated into the hospital dynamic.  As you can see, giving anyone wearing the wrist device access to information on the go and shared Electronic Medical Record access, as well as direct communication (such as a patient ringing and the alert coming right to the nurse in charge of the patient), allows for a more connected information system, which leads to better overall patient care.

Product Poster Development

Here, as you can see in the images below, our team has made significant progress with the design of our product.  Below you can see the final design, rendered through SolidWorks and displayed in a product poster, as well as a new and improved interface display for what it will look like when a patient rings for help.  Using "Juvo", a nurse can answer a call immediately without having to return to the nurse's station to see who's ringing, turn off the alarm, etc.  And that's just where the helpfulness of Juvo begins.

 

Juvo: Nurse's Aide

This image is the latest so far that Marco, Brett, and I have created to show use of our product, which we have named "Juvo."  Juvo in Latin means "aid", "assist", or "help", so we thought it was a fitting title.  Below you can see a user interacting with the interface, as well as the new product logo in the top left corner.

New System Map

We created a new system map today with our proposed product service system in place, and here's what the system would look like:

 

For reference, below are the existing product service systems relating to hospital patient care:
