Design and Implementation of a Remote Patients’ Data Access System

Abstract

Remote Wireless Patient's Data Access System is a mobile medical data access system, specifically designed for recording and accessing patients’ vital information and giving necessary feedback remotely and digitally. However, in most developing countries, paper based system is still in use, which do not allow for global and remote access for both medical personnel and hospital patients. In this research, a model of the secure remote patients' data access system was designed and implemented using XAMPP (an abbreviation for cross-platform, Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl) which allows offline building and hosting of the site, on a local web server on the computer. MySQL was used to create the database, Hypertext Markup (HTML), and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), CSS was used for the design of the interface, styling and sending of queries. The performance of the Remote Wireless Patient’s Data Access System yielded performance, onload time and total blocking time values of 93%, 556ms and 0ms respectively.
