Class Diagram

Classes

phonegapMedicalDeviceInterface

• Interface to a medical device for use by the NexJ mobile health solution
• Implemented in Javascript

medicalDevice

• Representation of a medical device
• Delegates to a native medical device interface
• Implemented in Javascript

nativeMedicalDeviceInterface

• Private interface to physical medical devices
• Implemented in native code (Objective C on iOS, java on Android)

bluetoothAdapter

• Adapter to allow medical device objects to interact with communication libraries on the device
• In the future a Wifi adapter will also be needed to fulfill the same role of communication over another protocol
• Implemented in native code

bloodPressureBluetoothAdapter

• Adapter to allow medical device objects to interact with specific medical peripherals
• These will be needed for each type of medical peripheral
• Implemented in native code

Native Bluetooth API

• Libraries on the mobile devices SDK that allows programmable interaction with Bluetooth devices

Blood Pressure Device

• Physical medical device peripheral

Flaws

• Should we be concerned about managing the instances of medicalDevice or will the rest of the solution
  • Rest of the application: It becomes more of a Medical device factory
  • This Project: Another layer should be added to represent a device manager
• bloodPressureBluetoothAdapter should know about specific device communication without relying on any specific communication protocol, otherwise it will need be reimplemented per communication adapter(eg. BluetoothAdapter, WifiAdapter)
