Design is nothing but problem solving. So, as a designer I want to share an idea that solves one of the problems faced by INDIA. This idea will try to solve the following,

• Identifies misdiagnosis

• Wrong medicine intake

• Fake bill identification

• Medicine expiry date

• Duplicate medicine

• Wrong prescription to a patient, due to lack of medical record maintaining by the patient

Note: all the idea and concepts provided here is in initial stage – Phase 1

How to use Aadhaar Card for Medical Purpose (concept)

How to solve the problem?

• There might be various solutions to the problem, but I want to solve this problem using Aadhaar card

• Create a software that syncs Indian citizen 's medical details with their Aadhaar card

• Since Aadhaar card is now most widely used by almost all citizens in INDIA, data collecting and identification of the individual is minimized.

Requirement: Only Aaadhar card number

(Source: taken on 4th April 2016 from twitter)

• Patient name – Sibi, Male, 56 Yr old

• He resides in Chennai

• He travels frequently to Bangalore & he never maintains any medical bill

Consider the following usecase

Using this methodology for patient first visit

ClinicIn chennaiSibi

Doctor

Comes out with a prescription

Pharmacist ask forAadhaar card number

instead of patient nameto enter the particulars.

Medical bill will be synchedwith patient’s Aadhar card

Pharmacist verifies the bill, medicines and uploads the

patient's medicine details in the software

(by providing** “upload” option in software)

** Pharmacist can upload on each bill basis. Note: Requires internet connection for uploading it to the server

Sibi visits nearby hospital to consult his chronic cough problem

Medical bill will be synchedwith Aadhar card

Pharmacist verifies the bill, medicines and uploads the

patient's medicine details in the software(by providing

** “upload” option in software)

Using this methodology for patient second visit

Clinic in bangaloreSibi

DoctorPatient provides Aadhaar card number to the doctor

When doctor enters the patient’s Aadhaar card number in the software, he/she can check patient’s past prescription details.(doctor should only have view access)

Doctor issues the prescription, accordingly

If in case Sibi moves to Bangalore

Pharmacist ask forAadhaar card number

instead of patient nameto enter the particulars.

.

Use case review

By both the cases,

• If in case, Sibi moves to other location say Bangalore, it wont be necessary for him to carry/remember the medication he took earlier from his family doctor in Chennai.

• It would be just sufficient to provide the Aadhaar number to the doctor in Bangalore.

• Doctor in Bangalore will check the Sibi’s prescription history and provide the medicines accordingly.

For each time, following criteria will be default in software

• Pharmacy shop number • Pharmacist certificate number

Error case• If pharmacist mistakenly types wrong medicine details, they

should, update the correct medicine with the options “request for change”(in software )

• Both, corrected and wrong details entered by pharmacist should be noted in software logs

Following details needs to be added by the Pharmacist when the patient hands out the prescription.

• Patient’s Aadhaar card number• Medicine / diagnose details• Amount particulars• Doctor’s name / clinic (from prescription)

Keynote toPharmacist

Keynote

• If doctor mentioned the patient as ”unknown disease affected”, medical inspector will identify the patient immediately through default alert system

• If the patient visits the new doctor instead of family doctor, the new doctor has access to view the list of medicines he/she was prescribed earlier. (Based on this, new doctor can treat the patient accordingly)

• It helps in providing correct medicine to the correct patient

• Black medicine market can be avoided (because all the medicine entry is noted in the server)

• Health inspector / Govt can review if free vaccines are issued to the patients (Example: when government runs free eye check up or operation, citizens can use their Aadhaar card number to enroll and the health care inspector can review how many people have been benefitted )

• Most importantly, every citizen will have their own medical records

• Wrong medicine/prescription can be identified easily

Pros

Cons• Internet should be available in pharmacy for synching the bill details

• Huge data server is required for synching up

• Data entry must be precise
