Deployment of Mobile Application for Sustainable Healthcare Delivery
Abstract
In many developing countries, mobile devices reach more people than the electricity grid, road network, water supply or fiber optic network. Mobile services enable the public and private sectors to reach these communities. One of the key areas of this interactive contact is health. This article presents a hybrid mobile healthcare system based on Android, iOS, and Windows platforms using the Ionic framework. The proposed mobile application allows optimal communication for multiple stakeholders in the medical field, especially patients, doctors, and pharmacists. The purpose of this application is to reduce the time and cost of transaction processing and to increase the flexibility of accessing available information whenever and wherever you need it. Unlike other similar types of applications, our application includes the ability to provide patient discharge summaries (PODS) to patients, send health tips to patients, and reduce customer service costs effectively. It has unique features such as providing a critical communication link between doctors and patients. . A prototype of the proposed mobile health application was implemented using the new Ionic framework and booklet to ensure its practicality on multiple platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows. The Ionic framework should be adopted for hybrid mobile application development, providing simplicity and flexibility in the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). It has the potential to break the country's dominant technology monopoly. Tests of the app have shown significant savings in time and mobility for doctors and patients.
