Daktari

Daktari is a mobile application that links doctors with patients around the world.

Daktari bridges doctors around the world regardless their location. The application will provide basic information regarding common illnesses and how they can be prevented. The application will also offer online video support, where doctors actually talk directly to the patients. At instances where a particular doctor will be unavailable, the patient can contact another doctor majoring in the same field and is online. The app intends to connect all doctors around the world, where they will be able to attend to different patient cases and provide solutions. The app will also have a discussion forum where doctors can actually share knowledge regarding particular illnesses hence ensuring proper medication to patients. Data in the app will help NGO's like World Health Organisation (WHO) in carrying out research around the world. Majorly the app addresses the issue of inaccessibility to hospitals due to long distances and heavy rains, it addresses the issue of cost at it will be reduced, it promotes research as doctors around the world would get to learn of the many diseases that affect people and look for ready solutions for them. It also encourages knowledge sharing as doctors around the world will have a discussion forum that will enhance exchange of ideas thus promoting the quality of services offered in local hospitals. Also middlewomen can be trained on how to use the app so that in cases of emergency they can directly work with support from the doctors in the app online.

We intend to use chatbots for customer support also for scheduling meetings between the doctors and the patients. 

We intend to equip the local middlewomen who will be accessing information or will be asking for support, with knowledge relevant to what they do to provide first aid.

We also intend to curb the issue of inaccessibility to hospitals as it will be easier to get the correct prescriptions regardless of your location.

This app will give doctors a world recognition and it will increase productivity in that, any doctor could  serve any patient regardless their location.

In the mobile application we intend to use chatbots in identifying doctors for particular fields, we also intend to use chatbots in bringing medical news that matter to the patients, we also intend to use chatbots in scheduling online meetings with doctors, we also use to intend chatbots in patient support, this is in case the patient does not know how to use the app.

We will also offer video support so as to bring in realism in the doctor to patient conversation or doctor to middlewoman conversation.

In the next 12 months we intend to connect 15% of the doctor population and have reduced the average number of deaths per year due to illnesses that can be prevented.

We are bringing doctors close to patients around the world so in the next 12 months we are targeting to have reached at least 5 countries.

We also want to work with the Goverments and the NGO's in the countries involved so that they could enhance training to middlewomen if possible provide necessary equipments needed.

In the next 2-3 years we target to have solved the issue of inaccessibility to hospitals and create awareness over particular illnesses and their treatments. In the next 2-3 years we target to have helped by 50% in  medical research.

We also target to be the center of online medicene in that most doctors could also work online during their free time.

In the next three to Five years we intend to provide affordable internet connections to areas where internet connection is a problem so as to keep our customers.

We will reach our customers through social media marketing and also availing the app on google store and app store.

We will also be giving basic information on human health for free by availing it in pdf format for them to download.

We will also introduce a nutrition feature where we will work with nutritionists to recommend the right diets to our people around the world. This will help bring to market foods that have been left out.

Right now its just an idea but if approved in the next one month we will avail the app.

We are on the idea phase this is because we are university students and are having exams currently 

In 12 months we expect to be serving 100,000 people and in 3 years 1,000,000 people

There are other existing health apps out there. The difference between our app and the other existing apps is that any Doctor can join from any point of the world. Solve can help us through establishing contact with doctors from its region. 

Establishing contact with the doctors outside Kenya. Solve can help us reach many Doctors through the NGO, United Nations as it operates around the world.
