    About this ebook

    Smart Healthcare for Disease Diagnosis and Prevention focuses on the advancement in healthcare technology to improve human health at all levels using smart technologies. It covers all necessary topics from basic concepts (such as signal and image processing) to advanced knowledge on topics such as tissue engineering, virtual and intelligent instrumentation (or VLSI) and Embedded Systems. This book can be used to guide students and young researchers, providing basic knowledge on signal/image processing and smart technologies. Users will find a perfect blend of the interdisciplinary approach to biomedical engineering.

    The book considers many technical concepts, emerging technologies, real-world healthcare applications, and many other technical, multidisciplinary notions in the same content. Finally, it systemically introduces the technologies and devices for healthcare objects and targets disease diagnosis and prevention in different views.

      Chapter 1

      A very short story for a new future

      Lucas Gabriel Souza Nasta, Lucas Paglioni Pataro Faria and Thiago Ferreira Mares,    Centro Universitário Newton Paiva, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil

      Abstract

      Blood donation is a very useful and important way to save lives, the main goal of the work is to develop a blood donation application that aims to facilitate the process of capturing data from blood donors, generate donor and recipient database in order to expedite donation, in addition to newsletters on details of blood donation and how it should proceed, in general the creation of the application focuses on increasing the flow of donors and recipients to help save a greater number of lives being able to attend all the people who need the service.

      Keywords

      Blood donation; health; application

      1.1 Introduction

      With Poklon, is going to be created an app that interested to create a blood donators and receivers’ network, where the people who interested in donate or who needs to receive blood, can sign in and obtain information which every hospital, donation houses or any type of receptors sites Works and how they can donate and receive.

      A big example for app with great success, it’s possible speak about the 99, that is a app that you choose your start and end point, and a vehicle drives to the place that you want with the price that you will pay for it, or like iFood, that works in the same way with food and they deliver in wherever you want.

      1.2 Methodology

      To develop the app, was utilized the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, how can be visualized in the figure below, using the API Xamarin. Forms, Json and other Google APIs, that was crucial to develop in multiples platforms (like Android and iOS). With Newtonsoft Json and SQLite APIs, was developed a small and full functional app, that can be used in the most simple smartphone with Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat (Fig. 1.1).

      Figure 1.1 Developing in Visual Studio 2017.

      The app is developed in C# Language, who could be used in various platforms and the design is developed in XAML, a property language of Xamarin, who is based in XML language.

      For UI design in the initial phases of project development, was utilized a platform Figma, looking for make easy the development of the code, one time that figma don’t have full integration with Visual Studio. And for exhibition of the UI, was utilized a program named Zeplin, that can be used in smartphones or web browser, and make easy to translate to Visual Studio UI Language.

      The UI design is based in tabbed pages, and to exhibition of data, was utilized a scroll view and list view in the Search Tab and a máster-detail to the Bio page. The Database uses these informations: Name, Blood type, Birthdate and linked with the these data, are located fotos, posts, donation requests, donations made, etc.

      The first ever phase was dedicated to develop the basic structure of buttons, pages scroll into the menus, and without any necessity to be vinculated with database. For initial tests, does not used necessary great resources to all function of prototype, just a virtual machine with a AOSP (Android Open Source Project), based in Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat with minimal resources.

      The second phase was the construction of UI Design, how can be visualized in Fig. 1.2, who was based in existing apps in Google Play Store, was developed in a program named Figma, and the icons was extracted from website www.flaticon.com, who are third-party and free to use. And for implemention in visual studio, was used the Zeplin. Poklon is developed in lightness colors, all designated with images who explain what have inside and a text intended to explain, using a clear and direct language, the information to the potential donators.

      Figure 1.2 Initial app UI.

      Inside of the timeline contain the referential image on the top, right below have their description and commentary box, and on the bottom have a textbox designated to publish commentaries.

      In the third phase was focused to build a database, with SQLite extension, what common to be used to development of data tables in small program and local usage. The database that was used have two tables, one having basic data, like name, Blood Type, and a email, and linked to this table, another one having publishes, comments, donations requests and other deeper user data. When concluded this phase, was initiated the implanted the database to the directly to the prototype and to the UI latterly, also, was connected together to the database, the APIs from Google, like maps, search, from Facebook log in and twitter log in.

      And the last phase, was the UI developing and internal tests in Android non-AOSP, verifying bugs, reporting crashes and internal errors on the OS, directed to different usages, bloatwares from a lot of manufacturer UI, modified UI from manufacturer UI (an example is the MIUI from Xiaomi), and a average use from every beta tester, and with their reports, make a very fast updates, to finish all problems and protect the user from code error and security fails on the time. Can be observed how the app is initializing working below (Fig.
