Thank you Derek Young, Oscar Cristobal, and Levi K-Papai for your guidance. Your help is greatly appreciated! The requirements documentation is very informative. It lists must haves as: Alarm at device power off/failure Alarm at Paw exceeded Alarm at PIP and PEEP pressure not achieved Alarm at Tidal Volume not achieved Monitoring must show Tidal Volume, frequency, PEEP, Fi02, ventilation mode, and Paw
In addition, based on your input, all of the following statistics should be included: Airway Pressure (Paw) Percentage Oxygen (Fi02) Mean Pressure (Pmean) Tidal Volume (VT)
- Inspiratory Tidal Volume (TVi)
- Expiratory Tidal Volume (TVe) Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) Expiratory Minute Volume (MVe) Inspiratory Minute Volume (MVi) Respiratory Rate (RR) Inspiratory Time (Ti or IE Ratio) Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP or Flow) Plateau Pressure (Pplat) Patient breath frequency (frequency) – in assisted mode Modes – assisted or unassisted
A better method for securely sending data is to use a POST method with URL encoded form parameters. I have found an example which establishes a secure connection by requiring the public key of the site certificate. By posting data including the ventilator ID, the registered encryption key, and the stats the connection will be secure.
I now know what needs to happen. Not sure if I will get to everything in the allotted time for the hackathon but will certainly make progress.
