Digitalization of Palliative Care

Abstract

Digitalization of Palliative Care is the way of digitalizing the system of palliative care through an web application. Palliative care is the system which provides medical care to the patients in their respective home or venue when they make an appointment to a doctor. This web application mainly focuses on three main treatments such as End of life care, Symptoms management and Emergency care. Initially the patient opens the web app in his browser and is allowed to select the services which is necessary to cure his disease. Then the patient chooses a particular doctor who is specialized in the treatment of the particular disease. After these steps the patient has to mention his mail id, venue and a preferrable timing for consulting with the particular doctor which he has already selected. After completion of all the above steps a confirmation mail is sent to the patient and the doctor instantly and then the consulting takes place in the selected date and timings of the patient in his mentioned venue. In case when the doctor declines the consultation date or the timing of the patient then a refusal mail is sent to the patient. This process handles the patient requiring intensive care and end of life care effectively. The probability of handling symptoms management and curing the disease is very high. The patients can also mention their queries and their feedback after consulting the doctor through this web application.
