Abstract

Health care system is one of the fundamental parts of society. This paper presents the development of web and smartphone applications for the people of Bangladesh where both patients and doctors can register and patients can have medical treatment via video calling. Using the developed web and smartphone applications, patients can register via their phone number, store information concerning their health, search available doctors, send text messages or make video calls to the available doctors, set alarm to take medicine on time and complete payment through online. Doctors can also register to the system where the verification to ensure the authenticity of the information provided by the doctor is handled manually. The doctors can view a patient’s medical history whenever a patient makes contact through text or video call and provide treatment accordingly. The system has been deployed and verified. The applications provide a faster and enhanced way to get treatment and will ensure the availability of treatments in remote areas. The system will help to spread health care services nationwide and provide doctors with the opportunity to help to improve the health conditions of the citizens of Bangladesh.
