Abstract

The constant advancement of technology has revolutionized the healthcare industry, introducing new opportunities for improved medical services. Desktop applications have emerged as a versatile platform for enhancing healthcare delivery, providing efficient access to medical information and services. In this paper, we explore the development of a desktop application tailored specifically as a side application to a non-invasive anemia detection system, to allow patients and physicians to easily interact. By leveraging our expertise in software engineering principles and collaborating closely with medical experts, we present a comprehensive framework that incorporates advanced features, security protocols, and intuitive user interfaces, ensuring a reliable and secure desktop application that enables doctors to remotely monitor patients’ hematological parameters extracted from the mobile application on the patients’ smartphone.
