Smart Triage Management System (STMS)

STMS is a smart triage management kiosk for hospital entry points — a Raspberry Pi with an attached touchscreen and vitals sensors that guides patients through a self-service measurement flow and surfaces triage results to staff.

• Interactive Qt/QML UI — welcome, language selection, hand-on-sensor prompts, live measurement, and completion screens
• Integrated vitals hardware — SpO2, blood pressure (BPM), and temperature readings over a serial link to the sensor module
• Real-time measurement flow — finger detection, SpO2 algorithm processing, error handling, and structured vitals output
• Alerting and triage output — completed readings packaged and pushed to connected systems for staff review
• HMS integration — WebSocket bridge and database layer to connect kiosk readings into hospital management workflows

A pilot to evaluate whether self-service triage kiosks could scale across hospitals nationally — the goal was faster initial vitals at busy entry points, consistent measurement capture, and a path to integrate results into existing HMS infrastructure without adding staff at the door.

• Hardware: Raspberry Pi kiosk with attached display and serial-connected SpO2/BP/temperature sensor module
• UI: Qt Quick / QML multi-screen patient flow with custom controls and on-screen guidance for correct sensor placement
• Device layer: C++ SerialportInterface for sensor I/O; SpO2 processing via embedded JS algorithm module
• Integration: WebSockets server for real-time vitals push to HMS clients; DatabaseInterface for local persistence and query execution
• Pilot scope: evaluate UX, hardware reliability, and HMS handoff in a live hospital setting before a wider rollout

Clinical kiosk software has to be foolproof for untrained users — every screen is a instruction manual, and finger-on-sensor detection matters as much as the vitals math. Piloting early exposed that HMS integration and alert routing are the real rollout gate: the measurement UI is only half the product.
