REMOTE LOCATIONS: The communities targeted are all located far from major cities, where health centres are not readily accessible to local populations, making it difficult to send or receive patients
MANILA: The Philippines is testing an app that will speed up delivery of health services to hundreds of remote island communities, the science department said.
Using the app, designed for tablets using Google’s Android operating system, the health officer of a remote town can upload medical records and clinical information on a patient, which can then be viewed anywhere by doctors and nurses.
