Solution
In order to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and patients, the app was an initiative by the Civil Hospital to enhance their patient experience. The app automated the manual booking process; helped patients with in-detail information about the specialists associated with the hospital as well as improved the quality of care & internal operations. Our part of the solution included:
- Way Findings: This is the special feature that would help patients to locate various departments and ways within the hospital. Users can precisely view the location of any particular department of the hospital through a map saving their precious time
- Health Schemes: The app allows the users to get up-to-date information and updates about all the health schemes like Rashtriya Swathiya Bima Yojana, Janani Shishu Surakhsha Karyakram, Mukhyamantri Amrutam Vaatsalya Yojana, and so on
- Doctor Calendar: The users can simply find a list of specialists and the available doctors on the app while looking for an appointment. Along with this, they can also know about the doctor’s calendar which would tell about their availability on the particular day and time and thus can proceed for booking
- Appointment Scheduler: Users can seamlessly book free appointments at their fingertips with this mobile app which thus provides relief from the long and tiring schedule of appointment booking
