Providing affordable and quality Education and Healthcare are the current challenges in the developing and densely populated countries, such as India and China. The Healthcare Delivery Systems are overloaded because of the inefficient expensive systems, processes and resources. Use of Information Technology in Healthcare, especially a Tele-health medical diagnostics system, can potentially improve healthcare. The system developed offers medical diagnosis, ongoing patient care and has an ability to monitor patients remotely. This system unifies diagnostic hardware like Microscope and Vital Signs Monitor with the diagnostic software. The software consists of modules for Electronic Health Record and Disease Identification. The software has the ability to automatically identify the vital parameters and transmit the parameters to the remote doctor through broadband or wireless connectivity. The system offers simplicity and cost efficiency making it an ideal solution for use in rural areas. Currently the system is being used at few locations in India on a pilot basis and the results are very encouraging.

Abstract


Providing affordable and quality Education and Healthcare are the current challenges in the developing and densely populated countries, such as India and China. The Healthcare Delivery Systems are overloaded because of the inefficient expensive systems, processes and resources. Use of Information Technology in Healthcare, especially a Tele-health medical diagnostics system, can potentially improve healthcare. The system developed offers medical diagnosis, ongoing patient care and has an ability to monitor patients remotely. This system unifies diagnostic hardware like Microscope and Vital Signs Monitor with the diagnostic software. The software consists of modules for Electronic Health Record and Disease Identification. The software has the ability to automatically identify the vital parameters and transmit the parameters to the remote doctor through broadband or wireless connectivity. The system offers simplicity and cost efficiency making it an ideal solution for use in rural areas. Currently the system is being used at few locations in India on a pilot basis and the results are very encouraging.
