Questions
Ecivon: Background
What is it? A health education
website related to asthma, cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure
Users can read articles, view and edit discussion boards, and monitor personal levels
Healthcare providers and users can chart the levels and monitor the users condition
GlucoSync: Background
What is it? An application that allows
users to download blood glucose levels from a gluco-meter to their personal computer
Levels are then uploaded to a website database called Ecivon
Why is it useful? Allows users to
automatically upload levels to Ecivon without manually entering the data
GlucoSync: Improvements…
Beta Testing Will tell us how to improve GlucoSync and better design
PressureSync
Commenting GlucoSync Original code was not well documented
Most documentation is in the form of ReadMe files
About Blood Pressure
What is it? The force of blood against the walls of the arteries
How is it measured? It is measured in millimeters of mercury It consists of two numbers a systolic and diastolic pressure
Systolic pressure is the force of blood when the heart beats Diastolic pressure is the force of blood when the heart is at
rest Blood pressure is written as systolic over diastolic (120/80)
About High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is also called hypertension What is considered high?
A blood pressure of greater than 140/90 Why does it matter?
High blood pressure is the leading cause of heart disease Heart disease is the number one cause of death in America
Who is at risk? Approximately 50 million Americans have high blood pressure and
35% of them do not know they have it How can it be treated?
Eating healthy Exercising regularly Monitor blood pressure levels periodically
Why PressureSync?
Hypertension is the leading cause of heart disease Heart disease: #1 cause of death in America.
Automatic monitors are available for home use. Accurate monitoring
No more manual entry of data Use with Ecivon to log data and view history

PressureSync Programming
C# language Interface similar to GlucoSync
Successful program has already been developed
Simple for users
Upload data to the Ecivon website
PressureSync and Ecivon Data
Stored in XML file Parsed using JavaScript Loaded into a form Transferred to Ecivon database using http protocol Apache server, PHP code, MySQL database
Users and health care providers will be able to view data by logging into the Ecivon website .
Additional Project Options
If time permits, these additional tasks will be considered to make PressureSync more attractive
Redesigning Ecivon Several linking errors Design issues
Migrate Ecivon to a stand alone server Easier administration Guarantee proper maintainance
