Abstract
Electronic Health Records (EHR) have become state-of-the-art in healthcare services. It offers more efficient information management, enables robust data manipulation, and is cost-effective compared to the traditional approach. In Malaysia, studies have shown that healthcare workers manually monitor the health of drug addicts during rehabilitation. This causes late intervention issues when patients have withdrawals which can be the cause of death. This paper proposes an EHR framework that automates health monitoring using the Internet of Medical Things devices. This paper also discusses the differences between EHR frameworks, the application of Internet of Medical Things devices, and user requirements from healthcare worker's perspectives; that is the parameters to be monitored (1) oxygen saturation, (2) heart rate, (3) body temperature, and (4) GPS location. The medical industry would profit from this framework because it aligns with the Ministry of Health's present rules and standards. This framework enables total data ownership, which gives patients transparency and reassurance about data security and handling. © 2021 IEEE.
