Abstract
Communication is an important part of how nurses administer treatment to their patients. Without proper communication, it is difficult for the nurses to connect with their patients and vice versa. This paper will be going into some previous literature about communication between patients and nurses in general, communication with respect to pediatric patients and how notification systems have been implemented in the past. It will then discuss the methodology and implementation of a notification system for a medical app. The medical app is meant to facilitate communication from the side of the patient to the nurse, while the notification system allows the nurse to communicate back with the patient, thus transforming it into a two-way real-time communication system. This is meant to be implemented in JavaScript, the app written in React.js and Node.js with a MongoDB database in the backend and an Express.js middleware to utilize the RESTful APIs. This project will improve communication between nurses, patients and patients’ families, therefore allowing nurses to be able to take better care of the patients.
