Medical Diagnosis Application
An Android Application targeting the Healthcare industry.
Project Mission Statement
Many civilians have limited to no medical training and acute medical emergencies can happen anywhere and at any time. Witnesses may not know what to do in such a scenario and become flustered. Our group, Teamsum(TimSum), is thus planning to develop an application that guides first responders to deal with common emergencies such as stroke, heart attack, burns, etc. The application will also contact emergency services and collect incident report data for government services to use.
Scope
Tim sum aims to build an application for mobile devices that enables users to be able to effectively tackle medical emergencies without extensive prior knowledge. It allows them to easily obtain all relevant information regarding the current medical emergency quickly, by providing clear, detailed steps to take, and directs users to nearest AED/clinic should there be a need for them to access such services. Furthermore, we provide tools that gather raw data from users and presents them in a meaningful way, so that administrators can gain insightful knowledge from the data. In short, we make saving lives much easier.
For Whom
Tim sum targets users that have little to no training in handling medical emergencies, that is to say, most of us. The stakeholders can be categorized into 2, internal and external. Internally, we the developers are the stakeholders. The external parties are members of the public who uses our app and by extension Health Promotion Board who can use our app to further their aims.
Features
