Research On Remote Monitoring Image Transmission System For Tuberculosis Patients' Medication

At present,the treatment of tuberculosis mainly depends on the patient's own regular medication,if the patients take medicine irregularly,it will lead to drug resistance and low cure rate.Taking the treatment and management of tuberculosis in Nanshan District of Shenzhen as an example,the patients need to go to the hospital to fetch the drugs every day,doctors record their medication.But it is difficult for the patients to do it because of the limited time,so there is urgent need for a management method that can monitor patients' medication remotely.In view of the current lack of the remote medication administration of tuberculosis and the defects of the smart kits on the market,the chronic hospital of Nanshan District proposed to establish a remote system for tuberculosis medication administration.The system is divided into doctor-side management system,Mobile APP,and patient-side smart kit,there is information exchanging with themselves.The system can help doctor to supervise patient's medication and manage the data remotely.The main content of this paper is relying on the intelligent medicine box of the project,and building a remote monitoring image transmission system.There is a camera in the intelligent kit,it can capture patient's medication images,the images will be transmitted to the server and saved correspondingly,it is convenient for the doctor to supervise the medication.We designed the system accroding to the functional requirements,the system is divided into three functional modules: networking application module,image acquisition and transmission module,server receiving module.For a series of task development,we choose the ARM chip as the embedded main processor,and choose the hardware model according to the demand of each function al module.We selected Linux system as the embedded system to build software environment of the system.In order to facilitate wireless transmission of images,we used QT to develop a networking application interface program,and achieve d wireless networking communication with the wpa_supplicant tools.To obtain the patient's medication images,we used the technology of V4L2 under the Linux to capture the images,then used socket networking programming based on the protocol of TCP for image transmission.We obtained the patient ID information by the serial port of bluetooth before transmission,and the path information was saved as the server image.We used the IO multiplexing server model to receive and save the multi-client image data.In this paper,we finshed the test for images transmission of client and the receive of server,then realized the function of the image transmission system.
