Chandigarh,
18th February, 2019: The Governor of
Punjab and Administrator, U.T., Chandigarh, Sh. V.P. Singh Badnore today launched
a Health App “KnowMyHealth” developed by M/s DejaVu Health Technology Solution
in presence of Sh. Arun Kumar Gupta, IAS, Principal
Secretary Health, Sh. Sanjay Beniwal, IPS, Director General of Police, Sh. Prem
Bhandari of M/s DejaVu Health Technology Solution; and Dr. G. Dewan, Director
Health Services-cum-Mission Director NHM. This app would be helpful in lifelong
storage of patient health record across all health institutions both in
Government as well as of Private sector.
The
app can be downloaded by any patient and health profile can be uploaded by both
the patients through app or through the integration of patient data by the
concerned hospital. The app would be useful to the patients as they would not have
to carry medical reports or prescriptions physically and can show these records
in the soft form while consulting any medical practitioner. The management
information system reports generated by the system can be useful to the
government in preventive care localized in a specific geographical area and
even curative care can be targeted timely to the affected localized population.
The health institutions would be able to share the health data of patients only
after specific consent of the patient.
The
worldwide launch of this app has been done from Chandigarh and it would be
extended to other parts subsequently. Since the medical history of the patients
will be stored in this app, it will be beneficial for the medical experts to
have complete review of the patient’s record in less-time while providing
further medication, which will subsequently improve the quality in care.
Patients can also utilise the help and guide features of this app for better
knowledge of healthcare. The app will also facilitate voice based uploading of
medical information and search feature subsequently.
