In the present scenario, the majority of the population owns a smartphone and it has only created a huge business opportunity for the mobile application developers. The doctor on demand app can help to access the patient data electronically.
The need of doctor on demand mobile application has impacted the growth of electronic medical records (EMR) and the on demand applications, after transport and food industry, will definitely affect the health industry as well. In the present scenario, people prefer their doctors to be at their doorsteps and this has opened the doors for the on demand app developers to engage in on demand doctor app development. The health industry is considered the biggest market for on demand services and on demand doctor app is the first step towards it. On demand doctor services are today’s new requirements as it can provide an individual with instant medical assistance.
If you are considering on demand doctor app development, then you must know that this type of applications can be used not only by the doctors but also numerous pharmaceutical companies, healthcare industry, and more related entities.
The doctor on demand app development must be done considering the following factors :
1. Electronic Medical Records (EMR):
The electronic medical records are the electronically induced data of the patients stored by the hospitals, which can be accessed via any of the electronic mediums like computers, mobile apps and more. Also, when developing the app, you should prefer a suitable platform like Android and iOS as these two provides an easy access to play stores.
2. Electronic Health Records (EHR):
Implementing electronic health records in your on demand app will help the doctors to access the patient’s medical records with ease. In most of the cases, at the hospitals; the doctors are unable to access the medical records of the patients timely which lead to higher hospital costs and charges. The doctor on demand app development must be done considering this factor.
3. Virtual Visit:
The on demand doctor app must also consist of a platform where the doctors can virtually visit the patient in case he/she is not able to visit the home. It is not possible for the doctors visit every home and the on demand app will help them to make e-visits to the patients. For common symptoms like a cough and cold and fever, the doctors can write down the prescription without visiting your house.
4. Messaging Services:
Communication is the most important factor when it comes to creating an on demand app like this. The messaging services on your on demand app will help in internal as well external communication. With the messaging services, the doctor and patient can transfer essential patient-doctor credentials like medical reports such as x-rays, diagnosis reports and more.
5. Mobile Health:
The on demand application is not only helpful for the patient and the doctor but also is helpful for numerous medical industries like the pharmaceutical firms, hospitals and more.
