Telemedicine portal

Abstract

Telemedicine is a platform for monitoring the patients remotely which can be evolved by all kinds of digital platform. As 75.396million [1] of total population of Bangladesh are currently getting the benefits of internet via smart phones, we are focusing on mobile platform especially android because of its ease of access. By targeting API level 15 and later, our app will run on 97.4% devices that are all active on Google play store. By simply getting the mobile app which has been built up for two user interfaces (doctors and patients) within the same app, it will allow to acquaint with each other. For ensuring better performance, scalability, security we are using MYSQL database which is placed in web hosting server. All the data of patients and doctors will be stored in MYSQL database. The main features of our system are video conferencing, online prescription, medical history, basic health tips and question/answer section. As video conferencing is our most vital feature, we are using Open Tok, WebRTC platform for video and voice to make sure that there would be no compromise regarding the quality. The Tokbox native SDK for video consists of an SDK and a set of APIs to access Tokbox‟s real time network to enjoy quality video calls. With Tokbox‟s globally-deployed SD-RTNTM (Software Defined Real-Time Network) and end to end network technology, the Tokbox Native SDK for Video providers ensure superior video call quality with minimum latency and low packet loss. Patients will get the benefits of asking any health related question by selecting the proper medical field. The questions which has been asked by patients, will be answered by that specific field‟s specialist doctor. We have designed the structure of our app from scratch to UX and UI. As the state language of our country is Bangla, we implemented our app in Bangla for making it more user friendly.
