In its current state\, the project uses a web-based pl atform to communicate with a proprietary cellular IoT device that reminds patients of upcoming appointments and asks whether they will still attend the appointment. The web based system allows doctors to easily schedule pa tient appointments\, and the device is given to patients in-office or mail ed to them. The device then alerts patients to upcoming appointments at va rious time intervals before the appointment. The patient then responds to the reminder by pressing a "yes" or "no" button on the device. For securit y purposes\, the patient is prompted to verify their identity through a fi ngerprint scanner on the device\, which also ensures device interaction by the intended user. Patients are encouraged and reminded to return or brin g the device to the appointment\, providing an incentive for the patient t o show up to the appointment. The device has been designed to ensure reduc tion of missed patient appointments below 20% and can be given to patients at the doctors discretion. Future development of the device will allow fo r patient health metrics to be collected through a communication bus and d isplayed on the web platform for doctors to view remotely.\n\nTEMPLE UNIVE RSITY PANELISTS:\n\nArdit Duhanxhiu is a senior undergraduate Electrical E ngineering student at Temple University. Born in a small country in South- Eastern Europe\, called Albania\, he finished two years of undergraduate s tudies in Telecommunications Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Tirana\, before moving to the United States of America in August\, 2017. F rom August 2019 to December 2019\, Ardit joined Saab Sensis Corporation in Syracuse\, New York as a Systems Engineer Co-op\, where he contributed in adding new capabilities to the civil air traffic software systems as a me mber of the Integrated Air Traffic Control Suite (I-ATS) team. Upon comple tion of his undergraduate studies\, Ardit intends to progress towards a ca reer in the software industry.\n\nJeremy McGinnis is a Senior in the Elect rical Engineering program at Temple. He is the President of the Temple Rob otics club and has been programming robots since 2013. Jeremy managed a pr oject with Montgomery County Community College to design an IoT sensor net work to monitor antique machinery within an operating 17th century grist m ill. That project was selected as one of the top 10 US projects in the Chi na-US Young Makers Competition and was presented in the final round of the competition in Beijing\, China. Jeremy also has an interest in manufactur ing and has been incorporating 3D printing and CNC milling into various pr ojects\, like a 3D printable axial flux BLDC motor.\n\nJoseph Kalinoski is an aspiring mechanical engineer and entrepreneur with a desire to enginee r a better world for all. Joseph’s career in engineering began when he d ecided that the best way to create and design his own business and product was to explore science and engineering. His goal was to learn about engin eering\, manufacturing\, and technology while making connections with othe r like-minded engineers so he could work toward someday owning and operati ng his own enterprise. Joseph has developed soft skills through years of w orking in service and sales\, and he hopes that his experience along with his desire to constantly learn and grow will propel him to great heights.\ n\nAgenda: \nWEBINAR: 7:00 - 8:00 P.M.\n\nThe Zoom Webinar link and passwo rd will be forwarded to all registered participants after registration clo ses.\n\nWebinar is open to all.\n\nCEU: PDH certificates are free for IEEE members. For non-members\, the cost is $9 per certificate. Non-members ma y pay when registering on the vTools site. PDH certificate will be emailed 2-3 weeks after the meeting.\n\nVirtual Meeting\, Pennsylvania\, United S tates\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264306 LOCATION:Virtual Meeting\, Pennsylvania\, United States\, Virtual: https:// events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264306 ORGANIZER:ieee@gpamg.org SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Reducing Missed Patient Appointments in Medical Clinics with a Prop rietary Cellular Device and Cloud Platform URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264306 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Reducing Missed Patient Appointmen ts in Medical Clinics with a Proprietary Cellular Device and Cloud Platfor m</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Panel Discussion:</p>\n<p>The project f ocuses on reducing missed patient appointments in doctors&rsquo\; offices and hospitals.
