Abstract

Access to healthcare is limited for the population in rural areas due to the shortage of medical workerns, insufficient facilities, and the long commute to the hospital. As a result, hospitals and staff are overwhelmed by a lot of patients, yet patients do not receive appropriate care, especially in this growing diabetes and other noncommunicable diseases pandemic. Point-of-care test with an IoT platform can be used to offer a higher quality yet affordable healthcare solution to the community and minimize the workflow of healthcare workers. ฉ 2018 IEEE.
