Development of reconfigurable smart medical wards using integrated components and complex features.

Patient treatment in hospitals requires their regular monitoring to assess their health conditions. At the same time, routine measurements are often delayed, missed, or not analyzed, and this situation worsens at night and on weekends due to reduced staffing, which in turn affects the quality of treatment. Innovations in the field of infocommunication technologies allow the healthcare industry to enhance the provided medical services. One of the promising areas is the creation of smart wards so that the patient information will be easily accessible and properly analyzed, with real-time alerts sent to healthcare professionals. Assessing health and diagnosing diseases require data collection and processing techniques that can be implemented by the smart ward modules. The variety of data, situations, diseases, and techniques creates the need to simplify and speed up the development of such modules and to increase the reusability of such development. In this work, we propose a method that allows the creation of applications as integrated components for smart wards for assessing patient health using complex feature techniques. The proposed method provides the necessary software flexibility and reusability for smart wards, enabling dynamic construction of processing pipelines. Thus, it becomes possible to reduce labor costs not only in the application usage but also in the development of such components.
