DESCRIPTION
In government hospitals usually have waiting periods for admission to routine surgeries which may extend up to 3 years (AIIMS-Neurosurgery).patients usually have to have to wait addition periods as admission is dependent on vacant beds. This is a very painful period for patients & their families as they have to come daily to check the status of vacant beds in the hope of getting admission. Project ‘mPAIN’ aims at making this process pain-free. In this project custom-made software lists the waiting patients and matches them against available beds, depending on the criticality of the patient’s condition and the waiting period. The software then sends a sms to the selected patient(s) to come for admission. Rest of the patients on the waiting list are sent sms’s regarding the admission status for the day and telling them not to come. Patients can also see the real time status on the web portal especially designed for this purpose. This makes the whole process extremely hassle free for the patients, besides making the system transparent & accountable.TRANSCRIPT

Vision for mobile technology Vision for mobile technology in Indiain India
• Our vision is to have mobiles as enabling devices for the empowerment of society so that appropriate information is available without end-user technological barriers to the masses.
• For this, a back end call centre which collates all data, integrates with mobile application and acts as an ‘human middleware’ to the masses is essential.
