E-healthcare: Child Monitoring Health System (CHMS) with SMS Functionality

Children go through distinct stages of development as they move through from infants to young adults. These stages are as follows: (1) Infants/Babies whose age ranges from birth to two years of age; (2) Toddlers/Preschoolers ranging from two to five years of age; (3) School Age Children considers those who are of six to twelve years old; and (4) Adolescents/Teenagers who are of thirteen to eighteen years old. During these stages their health and safety are utmost important because these will influence their formative years. The study emphasizes the benefits of implementing a Child Health Monitoring System (CHMS) to a private hospital in order to provide a more efficient way of monitoring child's health. The researchers were able to determine the system requirements through survey and interviews with hospital key personnel as well as the parents. Design of the different modules were also presented.
