Nature of work: Novel Solutions and Indigenous Designs to Key Challenges
Rationale: In the current landscape of healthcare, accessibility and communication gaps persist.
Health Buddy addresses these challenges by integrating innovative hardware and software solutions
to foster inclusive and responsive healthcare practices.
This project aims to provide immediate healthcare access, emergency response and responsive
healthcare practices.
Project Description:-
GlucoMonitoring System
In hospitals with less sta , they’re not quite able to monitor the patient’s glucose drip level and if the
glucose drip is injected empty it could cause major issues to the patient.
• The Gluco Monitoring System informs the hospital facility about the continuous falling percentage of
drip level at reception in LCD DISPLAY and when this will remain about 10 percent it will give signal by
buzzing buzzer at reception.
Working Methodology: -
There is an ultrasonic sensor at the top of the drip. The threshold is set to 10 cm (or which will monitor
continuous glucose level to the Hospital reception according to the length of the glucose drip), The
ultrasonic sensor sends back the distance from it to the glucose left in the bottle to Arduino Uno, it is
connected to an LCD Display and a buzzer which will trigger when the glucose drip falls below 10%.
There is no need to worry about the sanitation, we’ve added a special material between the glucose
and ultrasonic sensor which allows the ultrasonic rays to pass through but at the same time does not
allow any dust or germs to get into the glucose drip.
Hence, making it completely safe to use.
Technical Specifications:-
• Buzzer Alert: When the glucose drip is about to finish, a buzzer sound is activated, drawing attention
to the nearing completion.
• LCD Message Display: Simultaneously, an LCD screen displays a message indicating the end of the
glucose drip, ensuring clear notification for immediate action.
• Timely Notification: Alerts healthcare providers promptly to attend to the completed glucose drip
without delay.
• Prevents Interruptions: Ensures continuous treatment by avoiding pauses or interruptions in the
glucose infusion process.
• Improved E iciency: Helps in managing patient care by signalling the need for action at the right
time.
Health Buddy App :-
As we all know, people who are in an emergency (i.e. Heart attach/Brain stroke/Accidental case) are not
able to get immediate help or when an ambulance is carrying a patient who is in critical condition. When
they reach the destination hospital what they find out is that there’s no doctor in a hospital or doctor is
not specialized in particular medical need, so they have tried to reach in another hospital due to this
kind of shu ling and time gap some time patient may die. Our health buddy is providing solution of
these kinds of current problems.
1. When patient is in any kind of medical emergency condition, they can get information about available
hospital in their nearby area and also can get information about what kind of specialized doctor is
available in Hospital.
2. Also, they can check availability of doctor related to the patient emergency need and without wasting
time and shu ling they can take their patient in a particular hospital directly, so patient can get timely
treatment.
3. When patient is on the way in ambulance in that case, they can live communicate with available
doctors in hospital by sharing patient’s condition with doctor and can get instruction and by following
them compounder those are in ambulance can save life of patient or can increase rate of survival of
patient. Also, doctor will be aware about patient condition and can prepare according to the patient’s
need beforehand.
4. If there is an accidental case sometimes the patient reaches through ambulance or with the help of
available vehicles in hospital, sometimes hospitals refuse to take them in due to police cases. So, in
this kind of situation when patient in this kind of emergency our app will share condition of patient with
vehicle number in which patient is on the way (in emergency condition) with nearby police station, so
they can provide required support by which we can increase rate of survival of patient without delay.
Key Features: Health Buddy has 2 versions, one for hospital and another for user.

User Login Hospital Login
Working Methodology: -
When the app is opened, it will display to login for hospital or user. Once logged in the menus will
open accordingly, we’ve coded it in a way when emergency button is pressed it sends message to 5
pre-set contacts to alert, they’re in emergency and need help. On the home screen, we’ve got the
Symptoms Pedia that when clicked will ask for symptoms and will display the potential diseases that
the patient may be having. The third button on the home screen is Find Specialist Doctor. It allows us
to book appointments with available nearby doctors. The hospital login has got di erent menu, it
allows the hospital to scan the QR code to get the patient’s details and medical history. There’s also
an option for joining chat (will be used by doctors) to connect to chat with the patient who needs
advice. We've used kodular for making the map features of app and PythonAnywhere.com to deploy
our python programs which are used in app such as for logging in, Find Specialist Doctor, Medi-bot
etc.
Emergency Assistance: -
• Emergency Button: Allows users to swiftly alert 5 pre-set contacts that they’re in emergency and
need help.
Symptom Diagnosis and Healthcare Access: -
• SymptomsPedia: Helps users identify potential diseases or health conditions based on entered
symptoms.
• Find nearby specialists: Allows hospitals to register themselves. Patients can know if there is any
specialist available which they need at a particular time. They can book their appointments from that.
Whenever an appointment is booked the doctor can view it with the help of the doctor’s schedule.
Expert Consultation: -
Chat with Doctors and out Medi-Bot: Enables users to have real-time conversations
with medical professionals for expert advice and guidance. If a doctor is not available,
then they can ask common questions and advise from the Medi-bot.
Vital Monitoring and Ambulance Connectivity:
Ambulance Connectivity: When there is a patient inside an ambulance all the vitals
of that patient will be sent to the destination hospital. So that the doctors could know
that a patient is coming and so that they can prepare for treatment as soon as possible.
Benefits: -
Rapid Access to Care: Enables swift access to emergency services and nearby
medical facilities based on the user's location.
Efficient Communication: Notifies chosen contacts during emergencies and
facilitates direct communication with healthcare professionals for timely advice.
Continuous Monitoring: Provides hospitals with real-time vital data, enhancing the
quality of care during transit and upon arrival.
The health buddy app redefines healthcare accessibility by integrating emergency response,
expert advice, and real-time vital monitoring; ensuring users have immediate access to
essential healthcare services.
Medi-Buddy Cards
Medi-Buddy Cards, inspired by the successful Aabha Cards model, propose a
groundbreaking initiative that envisions the integration of comprehensive health information
into a secure and easily accessible platform. With the introduction of Medi-Buddy Cards, the
government can play a pivotal role in enhancing healthcare services by incorporating crucial
medical data directly onto the individual's Aabha Card.
Imagine a scenario where an individual's Aabha Card is not just an identification document
but a dynamic repository of critical health information. Government authorities, specifically
hospitals, would have the capability to embed essential details such as medical history, blood
group, allergies, and emergency contacts directly into the QR code associated with the
person's Aabha Card.
This approach not only streamlines healthcare services but also provides a seamless and
efficient means of accessing crucial medical information during emergencies. Hospitals,
being the primary custodians of healthcare data, would be entrusted with the responsibility of
adding and updating this information, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
Working Methodology: -
Medi-Buddy Cards allow the hospitals to scan the QR Code on them, giving information
about the patient like medical history, information etc. Hospitals can also update the
information when a patient takes any treatment from the hospital. What we want is that like
Medi-Buddy Cards government should also add these kinds of the features in the Aabha
cards.
The following details are showed when we scan a Medi-Buddy card
