Wearable Medical Diagnostic Devices: A Sociotechnical Plan

Image
                Advancements in science within the medical sector have increased as a result of advanced information and technological innovation.   Devices designed to monitor temperature, heart rate, oxygen and glucose levels, blood pressure, and respiration rates have emerged to obtain point-in-time patient information; however, the discovery of more comfortable materials and the innovation of flexible, low-powered silicon-based electronic sensors have expanded the utility of medical devices into constant wearable technology (Khan, Ostfield, Lochner, Pierre, & Arias, 2016).   This socio-technical plan features the design of wearable medical diagnosis devices to support patient health monitoring and diagnosis at home, work, and during travel. Scope                 The medical diagnosis technology scope will focus on leveraging current wearable medical sensors' existing monitoring capabilities into more of a comprehensive analysis of those symptoms in conjunction with
