SEHAT: Smart E-Health App for Telediagnosis and first opinion

Health is a very important part of human life. Taking care of health must be the priority of humans but due to the lack of medical facilities in the rural areas people are suffering from several diseases. To make these facilities readily available, we propose in this paper the use of mobile phones and android app development to monitor health remotely. As telemedicine is the source to provide health care services to patients at a remote distance i.e., far away from the hospitals, it uses ICT for the exchange of information to diagnose patients” health and provide them treatment. Telemedicine is mainly used to improve health care delivery in those areas where doctors and medical staffs are not readily available. The main purpose of this paper is to treat patients at a remote location in a low cost and with the best doctors and to provide an automatic measurement of vitals and reduce chances of error, because manual measurement and manual entry of vitals may cause errors. SEHAT (Smart E-Health App for Telediagnosis and first opinion) is another enhancement in the field of telemedicine that provides secure and effective healthcare for remote areas, and this can be also useful at home, offices, and hospitals. SEHAT observes and measures human body vitals noninvasively, collects the vitals data, asks important queries like; Patient's age, gender, symptoms, and provides with the best suitable doctor accordingly from the doctors' pool, where a doctor could provide the first opinion in the form of prescription, suggestion, and appointment.
