Abstract

Considering the scarcity of human organs for transplantation, it is important to make sure that every available organ is transplanted without wasting it. It gives a better life to someone who is waiting for it. Organs from brain-dead patients are a major source of organs. So, it is important to monitor and maintain the health of the organ of a brain-dead patient while his heart is still beating. A centralized system to monitor and alert about the health of the organ is the best-suited solution to make sure the organ is well kept till it is transplanted. This paper gives an approach based on Health Level 7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (HL7 FHIR) for such a system, which is centralized and uses new-age technologies to make sure physiological parameters of organs from brain-dead patients are monitored automatically and alerts are provided to the caregivers in case there is any deviation of the monitored parameters.
