摘要

Like in any health-critical area, rigor and precision are essential in cardiology. This paper presents an overview of implantable cardiac devices that can be used to devise a pacemaker wearers registry in Africa. The main problem with the setting up of this African register being resolved is the hard access to the history of the control data for patients with pacemakers because that data is stored in servers in foreign countries. This situation heavily impacts the monitoring of the pacemaker wearers and an improvement of the decision-making process by analyzing the historical information. In addition, information sharing between the cardiologists in Africa and the ease of the mobility of the pacemaker wearers are accurate. To propose a solution to these problems, we begin by taking stock of the work carried out in the field, starting with a bibliometric study carried out in three points: the number of annual productions, the countries, and the most productive countries. Following the bibliometric study, we propose a data collection network architecture for the pacemaker environment in Africa and a precise architecture for the solutions provided. There are two solutions: a data collection system and a web platform. We have opted for stable, secure, and scalable technologies to ensure reliable implementation of our solutions. Our data collection device uses a microcontroller integrating an ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC and a short-range Bluetooth receiver/transmitter. The data delivery platform has been developed using Nest.Js and Angular, two robust and secure JavaScript frameworks. Implementing this registry will undoubtedly help the pacemaker ecosystem in Africa.
