Proper health-care delivery in the rural area is one of the biggest challenge faced by the health professionals and the government. Majority of the Indian residents live in the rural areas where the condition of medical facilities is deplorable. It is understood that, there is a dire need of new practices and procedures to ensure that quality and timely health care resources reach the deprived corners of the Indian villages. We have developed a modular, easy re-configurable, touch screen based remote health care application for delivering primary health care in an efficient manner in the rural areas, where even the minimal health care facilities are not available. The application can capture patients symptoms using a knowledge base provided by the Doctors and send the symptoms and other important information to the Doctors over the Internet. As the application is running in the rural areas, it is often found that the Internet connectivity is a problem. Thus, we use short message services to send the patients' vital. This paper describes the different steps which are taken to connect the rural patients with urban located doctors using SMS. The paper provides evidence that even when the Internet connectivity is not available in the villages, it is still possible to actively use our e-healthcare service for treatment of the rural patients. |
