Introduction

1.1

Purpose
The project Cloud based patient monitoring system is a complete website for

patients in the medical field. Its aimed to provide services that will help people who were
or are patients in medical institutions. This website is very user friendly and works in a
simplistic manner according to the general individual.

1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions

This project is for public, i.e. mainly for patients in the medical field and is implemented
under the guidance of our college professors. This project is useful to everyone.

1.4 Product Scope

Patients, when they are at a medical facility, receive test results and medical records. As a
patient moves from one medical facility to another, he/she needs to carry all the medical
records from the previous facilities to the new facility, which is bothersome. Our aim is to
develop a virtual screen for patients which stores a patients medical records on a cloud, thus
eliminating the need for the patient to physically carry it around. This system will also give
cancer cell detection using image processing techniques on suitable lab results.

Overall Description

2.1

Product Perspective

The product is independent and totally self-contained. The need for patients to physically
carry around his/her medical records from one medical facility to another was found to be
very difficult for the consumers. This is a virtual platform for medical facilities and patients
that give a complete solution to all these problems. It is indented for all type all of the
patients in the medical field.

2.2

Product Functions

2.2.1 MedicalRecordStorage
2.2.1.1Userlogin

HeretheusershouldgiveuserIDandpassword. If it is a registered user, then he/she

can login using his/her username and password. After successful login, the home page is
displayed, in which patients can view and manage their uploaded medical records.
2.2.1.2 Account creation
New account is created for new user. Name, e-mail id, phone number, etc. are given
as input.
2.2.1.3 Medical facility access

When a patient is at a medical facility, they may give their user ID and password,
allowing the facility to access their previous medical records instantly.
2.2.2

CancerCellDetection

2.2.2.1 Detection of cancer cell

After uploading lab test results, the system will perform image processing on
those images. If it detects cancer cells, the system will give off a notification to
the concerned patient. This may lead to saving the patients life as this will
give an early warning.

2.3

User Classes and Characteristics

The main users of this system are the patients in the medical field. It is assumed that

users would have basic proficiency in operating computers and would have a working
knowledge of English language. Also, the maintainers of the system (administrators) would
have a working knowledge of databases and system maintenance.

2.4

Operating Environment
Our system works in all type of operating system. Hardware requirement is any

device that has an Internet connection and supports a browser.

2.5

Design and Implementation Constraints

GUI is completely in English.
It requires a web server preferably Apache2, MySQL server (>version 5.0), Python
server.
Developed using Pycharm.
Some JavaScript functions can fail in Internet Explorer.

 This is developed in Windows OS. Thus it will give its better performance in
Windows.
Internet connectivity is also a major constraint to this project.

2.6

User Documentation
The software design does not demand any user documentation because of its simple

interface. Any user with minimal web surfing knowledge could navigate and modify easily.

2.7

Assumptions and Dependencies

This software will be designed according to the current versions of Hypertext and
hypermedia communication.
The availability of a database management system on the server has been assumed.
Availability of a web-server with support (through plug-ins, if required) for server-side
programming tools like JSP, Servelets and Python etc. has been assumed.

3.

External Interface Requirements

3.1

User Interfaces

Simple Graphical user interface is used.

3.2

Hardware Interfaces

The cloud based patient monitoring system will run on any electronic devices which support
web browsers.

3.3

Software Interfaces

Software used
Front End
Back End
Operating system
Web Browser

3.4

Description
HTML, CSS
Python, Microsoft SQL Server
Windows 10
Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome,

Communications Interfaces

The cloud based patient monitoring system uses simple HTTP protocol over internet.

4.

System Features
A Web Browser preferably Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox should be used at end-

user side.

4.1

User Login

4.1.1 Login
Login/Register module requires a method to interact with database to add and
access user information to allow login in and sign ups.
4.1.2. Input:
Username
password
4.1.3. Processing:
Processing is done by Python/JSP script which fetches data from forms using
POST/GET methods.
4.1.4Output:

User gets registered/logged in. The information is stored in a SQL database.

4.2

Medical Record Storage

4.2.1 Input:

Records are stored category wise.

Sorted by date, originating medical facility, etc.

4.2.2. Processing:
Records are stored category wise in table by using MySQL database.
4.2.4 Output:
The required medical records with images are displayed as result.

4.3 Cancer Cell Detection

4.2.2 Input:
In order to detect cancer cells using image processing, the input will be
appropriate laboratory test results.
.4.2.2. Processing:
The images are processed using image processing techniques and to exploit
differences in cellular organization between cancerous and normal tissue using
image processing technique, thus allowing for automated, fast and accurate
diagnosis.
4.2.4 Output:

The required result is displayed as a notification to the user.

5.

Other Nonfunctional Requirements

5.1

Performance Requirements
With an Internet connectivity, the system is assumed to work well other than for

external hardware crashes or unforeseen circumstances like fire, theft etc. The System
Configurations and the operating platform may affect the system performance as it is with
all other software. A tuned OS will be a better working environment.

5.2

Security Requirements

Our website is accessible through user account logins and access levels have been
appropriately set up for registered users so that he/she gets higher security. It is assumed that
user information provided at the time of sign up is accurate. But new users are considered
are guests and access provided till he log out.

5.3

Software Quality Attributes

5.3.1 Availability
As it is a website all can access easily. Only needs a suitable electronic
device with an Internet connection and supporting browser.

5.3.2 Portability
The cloud based patient monitoring system can run on any type of
operating systems.

5.3.3 Maintainability:
Coding follows MVC conventions and is therefore easily maintainable.

Errors in codes can be easily found and corrected.

5.3.4 Reliability
Any update that is made to cloud based patient monitoring system via
either of the access method is immediately reflected in that.

5.3.5 Reusability
The code is reusable as it follows Modular Programming approach.

5.3.6 Usability
Ease of use and easy to learn.

5.4

Business Rules

No other business rules obeyed.
