Inspiration
We have tried to solve the problem by going to its root cause, we went to few hospitals near by and approached staff and patients, and asked them about the problems and difficulties they face while taking or giving feedback. And why most of the time people don’t give feedback. We got the most common response as the procedure is big, so they skip it.
What it does
Our main motto to take up this problem is to cater to each and every need of the patient as well as monitor his/her health from the time he/she first visits the hospital till he/she totally recovers. Additional attention and adequate support to ensure faster recovery is not possible as there is no proper communication channel/link between the doctor and the patient after the check-up. Due to insufficient data obtained in the form of feedback the government is unable to do the necessary improvements required in this field. According to the statistics, feedback from merely 5-10% of the patients is collected monthly from any of the government aided medical centers. The course of medication prescribed to patients is not monitored. The staff is not monitored in terms of their behavior and supportiveness towards the needs of the patients.
How we built it
Using Android(Java & XML) & SQLite

Accomplishments that we're proud of
By doing lot of research and finally I built this application,I hope some members get proper treatment through our app .Then its fine what i'm doing.
What we learned
No change in treatment as the patient is not recovering because there is no contact between patient and doctor. One such problem was experienced by my maid. She was taking treatment in one of the medical centers for Jaundice. There was no improvement in her health even after following the prescription. Due to which she was hospitalized. By taking timely updates about her health, this worse situation could have been avoided. Sometimes people forget to take medicines on time so timely reminders would help to solve this problem. In Spite of medicines provided by government are available in the inventory, patients are asked to buy medicines from outside.
This incident made us think what exactly is the flaw in the system and how can we solve and contribute to the society.
What's next for Health services & Medical outcome monitoring
By this way we can implement this application and many patients gets proper treatment ontime.
