Mobile decision support system for outreach health worker

People in rural areas do not have convenient access to quality healthcare close to their locations. Although there are health care centers in villages, they are not staffed and most lack in basic infrastructural facilities. Villagers are forced to travel long distances to district head quarters or major cities to avail of medical facilities, often at high cost, which they can ill afford. We developed a mobile based decision support framework on the Android open platform and demonstrated the feasibility of building the complete end to end system for large scale deployment to outreach health worker. The decision support system enables the outreach health worker to deliver consistent and quality primary healthcare to rural population. The same platform can host other revenue generating opportunities for the outreach worker to keep them motivated and providing them a means of livelihood.
