Abstract:
The Philippines, surveyed as part of the 23 chosen countries worldwide, is producing 80% of global mortality burden due
to chronic diseases and 50% full disorder burden because of Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) throughout the world. To prevent the
growth of diseases, and in certain cases to prevent worsening of health conditions, screening is strongly recommended which can
identify the symptoms while at their early stages. There are some laboratory tests that a patient can undergo. If it is determined that a
disease has emerged, further examinations will also be done to confirm the diagnosis. However, for people in rural areas, it is just
additional burden because of the cost and time consumption. The aim of smart health screening system is to ease and enhance the
quality of life in rural communities. In this paper, a system was introduced that screens specific health parameters related to
cardiovascular system of an individual. The developed mobile application can monitor the patient’s health parameters using
commercially available medical devices and sensors integrated to the mobile application. The parameters include: Blood Pressure (BP),
Heart Rate (HR), Oxygen Saturation (SPO2), Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood Glucose (BG), Cholesterol Level (Chol), and Uric Acid
Level. An offline database of the gathered data was established for maintaining data privacy and for the admins to have access in
medical records anytime.
