Vitals Page
Vitals Page allows you to keep up-to-date with the latest readings of your vitals
Vital page is the main page of VirtualCare as readings, taken from patients using specialised equipments, are constantly received and updated here for patients to be able to look
at each of their vitals and see how to adapt and change overtime. Because of this, we utilize the latest web technologies and web sockets
in order to display data in real time from each vital. Line graphs of five previous readings are used as preview of progress
and visual thresholds, in form of minimum and maximum thresholds, are set on the graph for you to know where your vitals should be at.
The vitals that are used to keep track are:
• Weight - measured in Stones
• Pulse - measured in BPM (Beats Per Minute)
• Blood Oxygen - measured in Systolic and Diastolic readings
• Blood Pressure - measured in percentages of SpO2 (Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation)
• Temperature - measured in °C (Celsius)
• Blood Sugar - measured in mmol/L
Equipment to take readings will be supplied by SafetyComm, in order to prepare you to independently take future readings.

Professional Users
Contact your doctors and carers directly with our inbuilt easy-to-use communication system
Professional users are referred as your doctor and carers, who will have more access to the SafetyComm’s system as they
are able to watch over you and many other patients simultaneously with ease. Also they would have permission to view
online status, data collection for vitals, create a new care plan, edit medical information, add new events and video
call of any client at any time. This allows for your doctors and carers to interact with you on a deeper level for your
health.
They will be able to monitor through our status system which will alert the professional and administrators
when one of the patient’s vitals have changed outside of its thresholds. This can be important as doctors would have
many patients to attend to and need to moderate at all times. While both doctors and carers have different roles, they
are still registered as professional users.
Administrators
24 hours a day with support from our team of online experienced specialists
Administrators have access to sensitive data in the Safetycomm’s system and authority to preform actions if
required, mainly by doctors and carers. These actions would consist of monitoring, adding and delete client and
professional users, etc.
Furthermore, what makes the administrators separate from the professional users, e.g.
doctors and carers, is the implementation of the alarm system, administrator users are able to monitor alarms
that are triggered by client under the conditions. These conditions can refer to the patient’s vitals changing
outside its set threshold by the doctors and carers e.g. "patient's weight has decreased under the minimum threshold" or "patient's
blood pressure has increased over the maximum threshold."
