Designing a Home Health Provisioning System

Abstract

A Home Health Provisioning System (HHPS) is not widely prevalent in India as in the developed countries like US. HHPS allows patients’ emergency services and routine primary healthcare services without them actually visiting the hospitals. Itcan be a boon to the aged people and to the handicaps who are facing with the difficulty of transportation. This paper presents an HHPS designed for the Indian customers. This system will contribute to the overall health of the patients by providing more personalized care. The practicing physicians in HHPS will establish a more solid physician-patient relationship by having a provision for longer appointments and round the clock access to doctors. The consultation can be either by video conferencing or the patient can send a detailed health description using web page tabs. The doctor then performs the diagnosis and sends the report to the patient, with necessary medical advices.
