Description
Summary:One of the services provided by health facilities in Indonesia is the heart condition’s examination using Electrocardiogram machine. This service is important to provide because heart disease is one of the 10 most common causes of death in Indonesia. The electrocardiogram machine produces a print out that contains a graph of patient’s heart condition status. A cardiologist reads an ECG Scan to diagnose whether the patient’s heart condition is normal or abnormal. Health facilities that has a cardiologist is a secondary health facility located in the city but in the primary health facility in the village, although the examination by electrocardiogram machine can be done, the patient still have to wait for the diagnosis result because the print out result is sent first to the secondary health facility which has a cardiologist. Therefore it is necessary to design an Android Application for supporting telemedicine system as an effort to accelerate diagnostic service so that patient in primary health facility can also get immediate medical treatment.
