MediCare - Bridging the gap between the rural people and healthcare facilities

Abstract

Rural Health care is one of the biggest challenges faced by the Health Ministry of India. With more than 70
percent people living in rural side integrated with low level health facilities, mortality rates due to diseases are on a high.
The main cause for this augmented mortality rate is mainly due to the lack of finding a resource for medical facilities. Hence,
the core idea of ‘Medicare’ is to overcome this problem by facilitating the rural people with an Android Application which
will be made available in a Kiosk.The key feature of this Android application will be to get the symptoms of a person and
predict the possible diseases with the respective criticality level, fetch the location of the user & show the nearby doctor’s
location on Google Maps[1], Provide the location of specialist doctors for a critical disease. The patient’s details will be
made available on the Doctor’s Login.
