Designing An Interface for Telemedicine app ‘Spotdoc’
Telemedicine app ‘Spotdoc’
By Dr. Anirban Chowdhury
We have designed an Interface of a Telemedicine Application to Anticipate the COVID-19 Scenario. Me and my student Ms. Lalmani Kumari have initiated a work on telemedicine in early 2018. Later we (me and my student Ambika) have revived the project and revised the design during initial phase of COVID-19 pandemic.
People might have panic to visit hospitals/clinics for any other medical issue due to fear to have a COVID-19 infection. Telemedicine might be an alternative option in such a scenario. Telemedicine enables the treatment of diseases from remote locations. Doctors can go for health checkups and provide remedies to the patient for diseases. Though there are few applications available in the market for the same but there are many drawbacks such as Heart Rate (HR) monitoring, Blood Pressure (BP) monitoring, prescribing medicine based on availability of medicine in local pharmacy, online medicine order option etc. Therefore, the objective of this project is to design a mobile app which will have functions such as online consultancy with doctors (through video/ audio calls) along with online HR and BP Check, e-prescription, online order of medicine from nearby medicine shop, and SOS button for ambulance facility. An AI-based chatbot was also planned for prediction of COVID-19 symptoms.
This work has been appreciated by Kiran Mazumdar Shaw (Executive Chairperson at Biocon Biologics; Padma Shri (1989) and the Padma Bhushan (2005) from the government of India.) on social media) on social media.
