What does the future hold for healthcare.This is the primary concern with the common man in India.Hospitals are far and few .Doctors are very busy or hard to find.Drug costs are going up while pharma companies make more and more profit every year.
In India there are vaious kind of medical system followed.Ayurvedic based on local flora and fauna.Unani the traditional system,naturopathy based on natural causes and of course Homeopathy.These systems of healthcare is popular and used widely.But with the wide spread acceptance of Allopathy and new age drug delivery system it has become imperitive to develop a low cost and reliable system for rapid delivery of on site healthcare.
Traditional system involves the visit to the doctor who examines the patient and then prescribes the dosage of medicine depending upon the severity of symptoms.But many and most of the requirements does not necessarily require a visit to the doctor.
New technology now has a role to play.Telehealth has a great future where distances and cost are high for traditional medicine delivery methods to succeed.
A good Web camera and transmission system with laptop connected to a telehealth centre will provide the necessary infrastructure for online examination.Data Storage especially of the patient records is important.
