Abstract

with the increased awareness of people to the importance of regular health checkup, healthcare-providing facilities such as hospitals and clinics are struggling to cope with the demands of an ever-increasing population. This problem is even worse in countries with weak healthcare facilities. The overload on hospitals affects the quality of healthcare services. Many patients spend long hours searching for prescribed medications; others wait for long times to get appointment to see their doctors. Access to ambulance services in critical cases can also be very difficult. All of these factors in addition to the high cost of treatment at hospitals make remote delivery of healthcare the most practical option for many patients. In this paper, a healthcare mobile application prototype was developed successfully and installed on an Android smartphone. The application offers convenient telemedicine services that enable patients to be diagnosed online by medical specialists. The application also facilitates the ordering of medications using online payment. Medications can be delivered directly to the desired location, and in emergency cases, patients can call for ambulance service. The system enables medical doctors and nurses to monitor their patients' health continuously. Pharmacies can also use the application to offer and deliver their medical products to patients.
