The project study, V-Watch: Vital Sign Monitoring System, aims to improve the
efficiency and data collection of vital signs of in-patients as well as outpatients waiting in
the hospital clinic to improve the efficiency and productivity in a clinic's lobby. The
system can acquire the patient's temperature and oxygen saturation using a pulse
oximeter sensor, blood glucose levels using a near-infrared sensor (NIR), and heart rate
using a heartbeat sensor by wearing the device and pressing the button. Depending on the
recorded result, it can monitor and evaluate if the current readings are low, normal, or
high. The project study provides both software and hardware systems that will be
accessible to the nurses and doctors in the clinic. The system was tested for its efficiency
and compatibility in terms of functionality, accuracy, and performance. The system was
evaluated for its acceptability using an evaluation instrument based on ISO 25010
software quality criteria. The overall mean score obtained is 4.20, with a descriptive
rating of "Acceptable". There were 22 evaluators, which included a licensed nurse,
nursing students, and colleagues. This shows that the system created effectively manages
and increases efficiency inside a clinic. Many healthcare practitioners depend on a
combination of obsolete technologies such as paper documents and physical whiteboards
to handle data; patient risk is enhanced by potential information loss and transcription
mistakes.
