Catchphrase : Healthcare Reinvented!
Objectives : Introduce to the public how a futuristic healthcare concept can be beneficial for both
doctor and patient , which can be achieved by maximizing the use of a smartphone.
Background : 129,8 million people visit the emergency department each year whereas 40 %
could have gone to a lower acuity of care . Aside from the fact that people tend to overuse the
emergency room (ER), the time taken to visit a general practitioner is also ineffective. The
average time taken to register at the hospital is 50 minutes , and wating in the doctor’s office
takes 20 minutes . After their first visit, some patients do not want to return to the doctor for a
follow-up examination, this way doctors have a hard time on monitoring the patient’s health
status. Th W6R&
