NEW DELHI/KOTA, Oct 23: A team of doctors has developed a mobile application that will provide digital, integrated and paperless healthcare services anywhere in India.
MedifreeDigital is a totally ‘Made in India’ healthcare mobile app that aims at making the medical profession paperless by providing to the patients integrated services of doctors, laboratories/diagnostic centres and chemists/pharmacists digitally.
The App is a comprehensive platform where allopathic, ayurvedic and homoeopathic doctors can all register and have access to complete medical records of the registered patients, though only with the consent of the patient.
“It is a platform where every user works independently but in an integrated manner,” says Kota-based Dr P. Chatter, one of the founder Directors.
MedifreeDigital does not promote any healthcare service provider. It will be the patient’s decision to select the service provider either those registered on the App or of their own choice.
To make the functioning transparent, MedifreeDigital App provides videos showing advantages of registering for the practitioners, patients, laboratories and chemists even before registration.
All videos are available on Medifree YouTube channel also. A healthy person can also register on the App and keep his/her medical records as the App provides 12MB space free for the purpose. The App can be downloaded from Google Playstore and an iOS version would also be available soon.
“The facility has a huge global potential and can be a boon for medical tourism and can become one world healthcare on mobile,” says New Delhi-based co-Director Dr Poonam Bazaz.
