Smart Self-Quarantine System

Inspiration

Associated with Pega technology over years and with passion towards IOT, we came up with the idea that would help current or future pandemic situations, by building a IOT framework in Pega that can capture the data being shared by the wearable IOT trackers and trigger Next Best Action based services like 1. Ordering some prescribed medicines to deliver to door step 2.Scheduling video conferencing appointment with doctor to have an interaction with patient 3.Alert Emergency Medical services to pick the patient and move him to emergency center based on the strategies built on vitals. We can customize how we want use the data being received in establishing different customer journeys in Pega.

What it does

This application receives the health vitals data of the patient provided through the wearable IOT device and the same will be captured in to Pega. There will be predictive strategies running on the data received and appropriate service cases will be created in Pega to help the Self Quarantine patients.

How we built it

We utilized a Heart rate sensor IOT device connected to PI-board which will capture the heart rate from any person wearing it and sending the data periodically to the Pega application through API exposed in Pega, which will capture the data and act accordingly to create the respective case and route business configured work flow accordingly.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating IOT device to Pega application for the data share and configuring the firmware to communicate with APIs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Idea to address the crisis current world is facing and a collective effort of engineers coming together from various technological backgrounds (IOT and Pega) in accomplishing the same.

What we learned

So many things in fact, learned the real world problem by studying the American Hospital Association facts and statistics of how hospital resources being over utilized and on technology side how we can integrate IOT devices for remote monitoring to effectively manage the situations remotely using the Pega technological advancements.
