VIRTUAL HOME MEDICAL

Bhaswati Behera

Abstract


The abstraction of virtual home medical refers to the concept of providing healthcare services remotely, utilizing virtual technologies and digital tools to monitor, diagnose, and treat patients in the comfort of their own homes. This approach leverages advancements in telemedicine, connected devices, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to deliver personalized and efficient healthcare solutions.

 

      Virtual home medical care, also known as telemedicine or telehealth, refers to the delivery of healthcare services remotely using technology such as video conferencing, online platforms, and mobile applications. It breaks down barriers to healthcare access, particularly for individuals who live in rural or remote areas, have limited mobility, or lack transportation. It allows patients to receive medical attention from the comfort of their homes, reducing the need for unnecessary travel and waiting times.

 

“Virtual Medical Home” provides online medical services to everyone hardly matters whether they live in metro or a remotely located village. Users can connect through their home internet or approach any nearby kiosk to get these services. What motivate to build this system are:

1)    Very few or no doctors at remote locations.

 

2)    Limited hour services and lack of sophisticated equipment.

 

3)    No patients/lab data management.

 The main function of the system is that it can be used by the patients to take online appointments of doctors, view their previous health records, lab reports etc. The doctors can give online appointments, e-prescriptions and view the patient’s history. This site will help you to find the blood donators and eye donators. The users can register and store their details and retrieve these details as and when required, and also to manipulate these details meaningfully.
