The Easymed team's focus in this semester is on both the software and hardware system. For the software system, the application is expected to provide more information about patients for doctors to understand the situations. A better patient identification system that is low-cost and context-sensitive is expected to be implemented also.
For the hardware, the previous design of EasyMed bag lack of ventilation, shock absorption. The Easymed team is in the process of improving the design into a integrated package. |
