Mobile apps in the Healthcare Industry
1. Visual Explanation of the Medical &
Surgical Procedures
Business Problem
During a medical consultation, it may be difficult for the doctor to explain
ailments and procedures and have the patient understand, especially when
the doctor tries to emphasize the seriousness of an ailment and in some
cases explain the surgical procedures to the patient or their relatives.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app could explain basic medical and surgical procedures .
Diagrams of key organs and the nervous system could be included in the
mobile application as an interactive tool. To inform patients, the doctor
could sketch, stamp, and type directly on the diagrams. These images and
notes can then be shared with patients during consultations or emailed
to them later for reference. These diagrams can also help patients ask
questions during the consultation or at a later time
Medical students and teachers could also use this app to better
understand key ailments and procedures. The scope of the application
can be expanded to make illustrations for various animals and birds too.
Navigation Inside the Hospital
Business Problem
Hospitals are large facilities that often include multiple buildings. It often
becomes difficult for patients and even medical staff to find a particular
medical room they want to go to. Similarly, it is difficult for patients to find
a medical laboratory for tests and also find the results collection room.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
Hospitals could come up with a mobile app that provides all the information
and location maps of the entire hospital campus. The tool can help patients
navigate to any part of the hospital they need to go to. Additionally, the app
could also assist staff take appointments, access medical records, track
a doctor’s availability, and review lab results. The app could also provide
health management tips on-the-go.

2. Selecting the Right Doctor
Business Problem
There are times of medical emergencies when a patient choses a nearby clinic and consults
a doctor. After the visit, the patient realizes that the particular clinic/ailment are not covered
by their insurance plan and they end up paying for the visit out of pocket.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app similar to apps used in retail stores could be introduced in the market. This
app could be personalized by insurance companies for consumers, and provide information
regarding a patient’s healthcare plan. The app would also further help locate doctors and
hospitals that are affiliated with respective insurance companies.
Along with other information, the app may provide information on key decision making criteria
such as:
• Out-of-pocket costs for each doctor’s consultation
• Doctor’s specialization and board certifications
• Ratings from other patients
• Distance of the clinic from current location
Thus, the patient can get information on various hospitals, patient discharge surveys and
evidence based clinical quality.
Clinical Calculator
Business Problem
Medical calculators are used to calculate different scores and indices. Typically these have
a complex formula.
Computers helped introduce a new era of medical calculators. Previously, they were spread
across different devices for different medical professions. Now, they are integrated in
different devices.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
Mobile apps could be developed to help medical experts ease problems, and save time
and money on different devices pertaining to clinical calculators. Customized medical
calculators could be integrated in one application, which would be helpful in various medical
fields and would provide value to professionals in cardiology, internal medicine, nephrology,
general practice, hematology, gastroenterology, emergency medicine, oncology, orthopedics,
respirology, neurology, neurosurgery, general surgery and obstetrics.

3. Medical Education On-The-Go
Business Problem
There are times when even doctors and surgeons have doubts while dealing with some major
ailments. At that point of time, it is not necessary that the book materials are comfortably
available to them or they have time to conduct online research. The absence of availability of
medical information can bring delay in medication and subsequently lead to fatal results.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app can instantly provide answers to the doubts of doctors. This application could
have a list of body parts as key headers that relate to ailments, solutions, new medical or
clinical procedures, classroom videos of key surgeons on those topics and notes. This will
help reduce any delay in medical attention to the patient.
The app could also be connected to the network of medical doctors. This will help each
member of that network collaborate and give recommendations.
Alerts for Vaccinations
Business Problem
The majority of people assume that their doctors have a ready list and a tracking system for
their family members. However, such a big amount of data is not easy to maintain and thus
there is a tendency to miss the key vaccination dates for infants, children, patients and even
the pet animals.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app could make a profile for person or an animal. The profile will collect data
regarding their birth date, vaccinations they have had, dates of immunization, age-appropriate
recommendations based on the regions’ medical center’s prevention guidelines.
Families can set up joint accounts or even link their accounts to each other. Alerts
can ring a week or month before on the parent’s mobile device and can also be linked
through Facebook or Twitter. This will also help in spreading out information about
regular vaccinations.
The app could further set up email reminders to taking the appointments at the nearby clinics
with location reference.
