-
Here is a software exclusively developed for medical services in the underworld countries. Intended to improve medical diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic services in hard-to-reach areas, "Moca" software has come out of the doors of MIT Media Lab. Since cellular service have reached almost every corner of the globe, this kind of application can successfully run on an Android cell phone. It integrates a Linux server along with the open source OpenMRS medical records database. Such a system will help to overcome the hurdles poor infrastructure and low bandwidth connections. It is also equipped with innovative technical solutions that include packetization, synchronization, and multimodal communications.
Linuxdevices reports that, 'The Android app is designed to be used by remote nurses and careworkers who work from clinics or mobile vans sent out to remote villages. They can quickly screen patients by filling out forms on an HTC G1 running Android (pictured above), and then upload them along with photo attachments via cellular modem to remote diagnosticians for analysis. Based on their analysis, the specialists send care procedures back to the careworkers, including annotations to the images.'
