Development of a Worker Wellbeing Monitoring Mobile Application with Integrated Data Collection Devices

Healthcare institutions face difficulties in continuously assessing the mental health and comfort levels of their staff, especially due to overwork and the limited presence of mobile devices during shifts. Manual or intermittent assessments risk missing critical wellbeing indicators, leading to potential burnout and reduced care quality.

A healthcare facility or hospital network aiming to monitor staff mental health and prevent burnout through embedded data collection and communication tools.

• Implement an integrated mobile application that facilitates real-time collection and analysis of staff wellbeing data.
• Develop a hardware device (e.g., a wearable or badge with a built-in button) to enable staff to easily report their status or trigger wellbeing checks, even without carrying a mobile device.
• Create analytics dashboards presenting aggregated health and wellbeing metrics at individual, team, and facility levels to enable proactive management.
• Provide communication channels within the app for staff to discuss concerns and share experiences anonymously if desired.
• Ensure the system supports compliance with privacy preferences, allowing users to choose data disclosure levels.

• Hardware device with built-in button for staff to trigger wellbeing reports, functioning reliably within hospital environments.
• Mobile app compatible with iOS and Android platforms for staff to access wellbeing surveys, anonymize data, and view communication groups.
• Auto-data collection from hardware devices when staff are in proximity or interact, ensuring accurate and timely information capture.
• User-controlled privacy settings allowing staff to decide whether to disclose their personal wellbeing data.
• Statistical dashboards aggregating responses to monitor team and facility health levels over time.
• In-app messaging and group discussion features to foster peer support and information sharing.
• Notification system to prompt staff to complete wellbeing surveys regularly.

• Hardware device data feed for automatic reporting of wellbeing triggers
• Secure authentication and user management systems
• Analytics and reporting modules for data visualization

• Application must operate reliably within hospital environments, with minimal latency in data collection and reporting
• Data security and user privacy must comply with healthcare privacy standards, with sensitive data protected through encryption
• System should support scalability to manage increased volume of users and devices over time
• High availability and fault-tolerance to ensure continuous monitoring

The new system aims to enable healthcare facilities to proactively monitor and improve employee wellbeing, significantly reducing the risk of burnout. It is expected to provide comprehensive insights with real-time data, leading to quicker intervention and improved staff comfort, ultimately supporting better patient care. The project targets consistent wellbeing assessment and communication, fostering a healthier work environment.
