Paper Title
Smart Healthcare: A Mobile based Application
Abstract
In the present Indian scenario, healthcare information is independently maintained by hospitals, institutions and not readily accessible in a centralized, informed manner. This greatly limits the health providers’ efforts to improve quality and efficiency. Through this paper, we address this issue on bringing various information from many sources into one place in real time which can be truly life-saving. Also, low ratio of doctor to patient and the low per capita income in India hikes the medical expenses thereby increasing the patients’ inaccessibility to receive proper health care in their reach especially for people in the rural areas. A means by which the bridge between the patients and doctors can be gapped and how patients can be treated at a lower expense is the main concern. This paper focuses on the development of a mobile and web application, through which patients sends their symptomatic query to the doctors through a server. After the disease has been diagnosed, the user will be suggested some pathological tests and will have an option to upload the test result on his account. Once the disease has been identified, the user will be recommended a list of nearby doctors he can visit. Our application can also be used by people in case of emergencies and accidents. The application will contain an SOS button, by the help of which an ambulance from a nearby hospital will reach on that location. This will be helpful in emergency conditions.
