Medical consultation system for community clinics in remote area

Abstract

In our country many people in the rural areas su er from various diseases but they do not get proper treatment because of the scarce of good doctors. Most of the people in our country come to the capital city Dhaka as most of the good doctors and facilities are in Dhaka but to do so they have to come from far, from various corners of the country. Not only this costs a lot but many of them become more sick in the process of doing so. Our aim is to build a system that can reduce peoples su ering as well as reduce the death rate of our country by giving them consultation. For this we need a video calling process. Through which the patient and doctor can communicate with each other. The Doctor can check the patient's initial report and also the history (if available) and will give the necessary treatment. The main role of our project is played by a video call and for this we used WebRTC, which enables real time communication in browser. For the platform we used Node.js, express and MongoDB. There are more than 14000 community clinics in total in rural areas of Bangladesh. The patient can come the nearest community clinic and tell the representative person about his/her problem and on the basis of that through our internal process he/she will get necessary consultation through video call. We tried to make the system less expensive and also reliable for the rural people. We hope this sort of system will play a vital role in our medical care system.
