"SMART HealthCare Innovation @ the palm of our hand"
The Smart HealthCare Innovation solutions allows for stress-less trip to the hospital for medical links information technology, communications and healthcare to improve the quality and safety of patient care @ the palm of our hand. Long queue of patients and parking space are problems faced at University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Malaysia. Furthermore, visitors and patients have difficulty to reach the exact location in UMMC too especially when they have to visit several different clinics or departments during the visit. Medical prescriptions are also “alien” to patients with medical terminology. Therefore, we’ve come out with solutions on a single platform that can be accessible on mobile phone by the users.
On the day of appointment with doctor, the patient can use the mobile phone to get the queue number with estimate time of seeing the doctor using the Queue ticketing system and then reserve a car park space to ensure the parking space is available upon arrival with iPark™ (Your priority Car Park Booking). The hospital is like a maze to the visitors and patients. Therefore, the QNavigation™ System is available to assist visitors and patients to direct them to the right location both online and offline (advantage over most existing applications which do not support offline navigation). Upon seeing the doctor and get the prescription, the payment can be made using the MySIM™ e-payment. MySIM™ has the cutting-edge technology that looks like a regular SIM card but with combined Telecommunication SIM, Bankcard SIM and Transport SIM (Touch N Go) plus with an integrated hybrid antenna on the SIM itself which operates at 13.56 MHz that can be used for Card, Internet and Mobile Payment works on any phone that uses the SIMCard. MySIM™ can be used to enter the parking space as well as store the owner identity with health information (e.g: allergies, blood type etc) and link to E-payment that can be retrieve by touching at the secured readers in the hospital. The medications information can be transferred to the Medisafe™ app (breakthrough technology on imaging with capability to scan and identify the drug image) on the mobile phone. Basically, Medisafe™ app is to identify the correct medication to be taken at home as an extension to patient safety.
The Smart HealthCare Innovation Solution able to provide comfort to patients by reducing their queuing, searching, waiting and parking time. It also lessens stress on staff so that they can focus on their job instead of managing frustrated patients. The use of the e-ticket is eco-friendly and alternative to paper ticket from queue ticket, parking ticket to prescription of medications on mobile phone. This has positive impact to the well-being of the stakeholders from the perspective of convenience to patients, productivity of staff to patient safety of medication.
