REPSCAN-ANDROID HEALTHCARE APPLICATION

Abstract

A diagnostic test is a method used to determine the presence or absence of disease in a person who has been suspected of having it. Interpreting the diagnostic test results can be quite daunting for an individual with little to no familiarity with the healthcare terms. Mobile, nowadays has become an integral part of one's life so designing and developing a prototype that is compatible with mobile user interface that can monitor and track the health regime of an individual will be helpful. Therefore, we have developed an android application named „RepScan‟, a one stop application for users with multiple modules wherein no Internet connection is required, developed using Java and XML as languages and Android Studio as Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the Android platform. The objective of the application is to assist the user to understand their diagnostic test reports (CBC, Blood glucose test, Thyroid Hormone test) in an uncomplicated manner. It is designed with an approach to give output based on the values entered for various entities present in the diagnostic reports. Furthermore, one can learn more about the possible causes, future complications, and home remedies related to their diagnosis with this app. In addition to interpreting the test results, RepScan also offers multiple health calculators to the users, where one can calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI), Basal metabolic rate (BMR) and Total body water (TBW). The RepScan “Track It” feature is added to help an individual keep track of their menstrual cycle. In the future, RepScan will have more modules integrated to make it a more sophisticated, self-help tool providing a wide range of facilities to the end-user.
