•
HELP-MD CARD to be given to all
people in the country
• This is to maintain Medical
diagnostic record for a human from
“BIRTH to DEATH” which would
serve as a vital aid in diagnosis also
it has the capability to run in any low
cost devices at anytime from
anywhere.
• For All Disease self evaluation
health calculators
• HELP-MD is to reach all people in
the country.To capture data at the
point of care
 To integrate data from
multiple internal and external
sources
 To support caregiver decision
making.
The benefits are, but are certainly not
limited to the following:
 Improved quality and patient
care.
 More efficient tracking of
patients and costs
 Benefits to the business of
healthcare
 Better
documentation
and
improved audit capabilities
 Avoidance
of
repeating
expensive tests and time spent
with patients.
INTRODUCTION
The fact on India’s health care situation is as
follows:
A recent survey by the Indian Medical
society has found 75% of qualified
ABSTRACT
India today has more than 1 billion
populations and there is finite limit of
elasticity in providing health care in terms of
infrastructure, facility, the manpower and
the funds. Wide disparities persist between
different income groups, between rural and
urban communities, and between different
states and even districts within States. The
population is predominantly rural and
distributed in distant geographical locations
apart from the high-density urban areas; to
provide the basic minimum health care has
been one of the priorities of the Health
administration all along. Further this is
compounded by the following factors like:
 High cost of health care and lack of
investment for health care in rural
areas.
 Inadequate medical facilities in rural
& inaccessible areas.
 Problem of retaining doctors in rural
areas where they are required to
serve & propagate widespread health
awareness.
 Specialist doctors cannot be retained
at rural areas as they will be
professionally isolated and become
obsolete
and
even
monetary
incentives also cannot prevent it.
The objectives of this project are:
• All Government hospitals to be
maintained in a single server.
• Have to maintain a “BIRTH TO
DEATH MEDICAL DATABASE”
to every one in the country.

consulting doctors practice in urban centers
and 23% in semi urban areas and only 2%
from rural areas whereas majority of the
patients come from rural areas. Hospital
beds / 1000 people is 0.19 in rural and 2.2 in
urban areas.
Technology integration within the health
sector has great potential to promote healthy
lifestyles, improve decisions by health
professionals as well as patients, and
enhances healthcare quality by improving
access to medical and health information
thereby
facilitating
instantaneous
communication in places where this was not
previously possible. The increased use of
technology can help reduce health care costs
by improving efficiencies in the health care
system.
Biomedical Informatics is the study of the
generation,
utilization,
structure,
transformation, and application of data,
information and knowledge to basic
biological research, clinical sciences, health
care delivery, and health services research. It
plays a very important role in providing
timely care to critical patients instanteously.
Timely help can be provided if the entire
medical history is available to the doctor
attending the patient. Further it also reduces
the need for redundant medical examination
tests. Therefore the need for an automated
record of health details is the need of the
hour.
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a
longitudinal electronic record of patient
health information generated by one or more
encounters in any care delivery setting.
Included in this information are patient
demographics, progress notes, problems,
medications, vital signs, past medical
history, immunizations, laboratory data, and
radiology reports. The EHR automates and
streamlines the clinician's workflow. The
EHR has the ability to generate a complete
ISSN:2231-5381
record of a clinical patient encounter, as well
as supporting other care-related activities
directly or indirectly via interface—
including evidence-based decision support,
quality
management,
and
outcomes
reporting. This project is to maintain
Medical diagnostic record for a human from
“BIRTH to DEATH” which would serve as
a vital aid in diagnosis also it has the
capability to run in any low cost devices at
anytime from anywhere.
A person starts his life from his
childhood as a new born baby. In case of
sick time, a person can’t say the exact
problem in their body while he is serious
condition, childhood etc. So a doctor asks
many questions [Protocols] which is relevant
to the disease in each stage of the human.
The stage is defined according to the age of
the patient. The set of questions are stored in
the database with the diagnostic report
according to the protocol and the
corresponding treatment. While asking the
questions to the patient it automatically
compared and generates the diagnostic
report. This project is having a special
feature that a parent / Guardian taking a
patient to the doctor [may the same or the
different doctor] the doctor should know the
previous and the present conditions of the
patient. In the rural/urban area of the country
illetrate people don’t know to maintain the
records. Also there is no facility for the
doctors over there to know the previous
history of the patients. This project helps the
patients and the doctors by storing the
patient’s relevant medical history consisting
of all the protocols, diagnostic report.
Present situation can be compared with the
previous reports of the particular patient and
the doctor can take a good decision and go
for the treatment. This project is developed
using JAVA – J2EE and it can be deployed
and run any kind of low cost devices.

MODULE EXPLANATION
 Help-MD is segmented into five
modules
based
on
its
Informative, Interactive and
Management part.
 Module 1----User’s search flow
for health information on the
Informative part- User search for
the features and services offered
by our website.
Module 2----Requesting users for
registration for the privileged
services/business activities with the
website.
 Module 3----Managing the site by
providing the user’s details, updating
and deleting records and involves in
business
dealings
like
Advertisements etc
 Module 4----Health Monitoring
System
Module 5----Calculating Analysis

HEALTH MONITORING
• Monitoring is a major class of health
IT activity
• A few different domains
– Critical care monitoring –
reporting back to humans
who will respond quickly
IJETT
International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology- May to June Issue 2011
–
‘Ubiquitous’ monitoring –
getting data (probably over a
long period of time) without
being too obvious about it
– Participatory monitoring –
patients get a sense of
engagement by participating
in the medical record
