As the Coronavirus outbreak continues to engulf India, the country's scarce healthcare resources threatened to be overburdened. There is 1 doctor for every 11,000 patients and 0.55 hospital beds per 1,000 persons. This makes overcrowding of hospitals and burnout of healthcare workers a likely scenario. The lack of qualified health personnel in remote regions along with the high population density is a major concern as India fights coronavirus. People need someone to guide them, assist them, listen to their problems, and would then feel much relaxed. It is the need of the hour to assist hospitals and laboratories by reducing their burden, and offloading the patients to a digital hospital.
Our product will use natural language processing and computer vision to video screen candidates and determine their probability of being affected by the virus. The patients will then be connected to a qualified healthcare professional (or volunteer) who can determine if further action is required. If yes, the hospitals nearest to the patient will be alerted. In case the patient has to be quarantined, our systems will automatically suggest the most suitable places. The patient's family will be kept up-to-date on the situation via SMS and email alerts. The patient would be provided with an in-depth A.I diagnosis report, meal plans, the guidance of volunteer doctors and information about nearby quarantine spaces all at the online digital hospital.
