Caring App
It’s an efficient and centralized health application. Based on data and automation, the application aims to replace the obsolete and non-efficient health system of countries like Ecuador.
Caring is a personal mobile application that accompanies its users in their integral health. It will schedule medical appointments, analysis for primary disease prevention, assistance in case of emergency and the collection of medical data and medical history. This is planned to be achieved through a public-private partnership in each of the countries. In the event of a user's health emergency, Caring will notify health entities and emergency contracts.
Similarly, anonymous data collection could be used to obtain health statistics for a population. This same data can be used preventively by the competent health authorities. Also, the database will make it possible to provide each user with personalized advice depending on his or her data.
To achieve these objectives, Big data, Blockchain for data storage, as well as Machine learning will be used. In addition, the linking of the software with wearables will improve the reception of data and provide a better monitoring of health. Additionally, the GPS tool of the cellphone will be used only in case of emergency.
An efficient and centralized health information system is planned, based on data and technology. Obsolete systems that do not efficiently manage health services will be replaced.
The problem we are trying to solve is that of a health system that does not rely on technology, many of the current health problems are due to the lack of centralized and efficiently accessible health information.
It is a big problem if we consider that most of the population has access to different types of health services, but none of them is managed by an efficient digital system. In Ecuador, for example, there are constant criticisms and visible inefficiencies on the part of the current governments and bad administrations, especially in public health, causing a system with errors that are not corrected, nor are they expected to be corrected in the short term. The lack of digitalization is a factor that increases costs and time, which results in a greater inaccessibility to the health system and a waste of resources that could be useful to solve the problems of the system. Health is a primary need of every human being, so Caring aims to make health more accessible, efficient, preventive and this can be achieved with digitization. It is proposed to implement this digitalization in order to provide a self-adjustable service that meets the particular needs of different populations.
Our solution is created for all people who access health services and have access to a mobile device. People who want to access new and more efficient tools. As such it is directed to all public, without any type of impediment except for certain sectors that have problems with internet connection or in acquiring a mobile device.
This solution tries to help with new technologies and responsible data management for the common welfare.
Providing accessible tools and allowing greater access to the health system. Health monitoring will be easier for both health agents and users themselves, allowing for greater disease prevention.
For a long time, I knew about the inefficiencies of the health system, the weaknesses that many people expressed for paperwork, poor care in different areas, or lack of a good health platform, when I turned 18 and had the opportunity to see all the flaws for myself, I knew that, although my problems were not complex, there were already clear inefficiencies and lack of quality in the public health service. On the other hand, inefficiencies in emergency cases are public knowledge. For this reason. Several problems come together to which it intends to give an efficient and accessible solution. In addition, it is evident the lack of preventive medicine or the real analysis of data that users can provide to be able to predict certain types of diseases. The lack of this type of practice was evident during the pandemic, especially due to the lack of information and the lack of an efficient way to obtain it.
- Improving healthcare access and health outcomes; and reducing and ultimately eliminating health disparities (Health)
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
Caring for the moment is a concept that comes out of the testimonies of close people, public opinion and own experiences, of how the public and private health system is inefficient to the needs of users in my country. Even though a team, objectives and tools are already structured as part of the application, for the moment it has not been possible to move on to a prototype stage for its better presentation, especially due to lack of investment capital. Likewise, it is believed that we require advice from qualified people to carry out the project in a more efficient way, advice that allows us to enter the field of this type of entrepreneurship with a better basis on the market.
