1. My Doctor Guide
My Doctor Guide is a mobile application
that will be used to record the medical
history of a patient.

2. Why my doctor guide?
• It will be a record keeper of patient’s medical history.
• In country like Nepal there is no provision by hospital/Clinic or Doctor to keep
patient’s medical history for future reference.
• Some patients are not so well educated in country like Nepal; they do not know the
importance of Medical record. Patient after they get service from doctor, they do not
keep the prescription received from doctor. (i.e. it is either kept carelessly or thrown
away after they get well)
• Some patients are busy people who do not have time to maintain their medical
records.
• My Doctor guide will be a multi-party based record keeping application (i.e. Patient,
Doctor and Hospital/Clinic), which will help in proper information storage and
dissemination.
• It will help Patient get proper medical service and Doctor and Hospital/Clinic to
provide better service.
• This application will also help increase patient’s trust and inclination towards doctor’s
and Hospitals.

3. How it works?
• Step 1: Patient, Doctor or Hospital authority scans or sends the medical
prescription.(The scan file will be managed by Special purpose software.)
• Step 2: The Software divides the medical prescription into three parts. a)
Doctor’s name and address b) Patient’s Name, address, age and other
info c) Medical information like(diagnosis, medicines written by the
doctor){note: the divided parts will have unique trace code to identify
them for later compilation)
• Step 3: Micro worker’s who want to perform task and earn money can get
the task through their personal account. (This can be done by hospitals or
can be outsourced to companies like CloudFactory.
(www.cloudfactory.com).
• Step 4: The data entry from Micro Workers will be directed to a database
of the Hospital, patient and doctor. The database can be taken as a cloud
service or can be maintained by respective parties.(Note: Database can be
linked with the mobile application and Document management System ;
this will help ease of access of the medical records.)
• The Records will be maintained according to the name and ID of the
Patient.

4. How it works?
The Doctor’s Clinic or
Hospital Authority Scans and
Doctor’s Sends the Prescription’s to
Clinic/Hospital the Micro Workers.

All the Data entered by micro workers will be compiled in a database
The Database will be shared
by Hospital/Doctor/Patient

5. How will micro worker get
paid?(Business Model)
As the patient pays fee and hospital and doctor receives them; some part of that fee
(example: if fee is $20 then, $1 can be allocated to pay micro worker)
•If the patient himself/herself does the entry work then it will be a savings to the
patient.
•The micro worker can be paid through services like PayPal or directly to bank
account. (Balance account will be maintained by the application).
(Note: The allocation of fee will diffuse the burden from a particular party and will be
spread.)

6. Technical Aspect
• Prescription: (It is a written Instructions from a doctor to a
Pharmacist, that contains patient’s diagnosis/problems and prescribed
medications; along with patient’s name, doctor’s name, date etc)
• How will the prescription be divided?

7. (Technical Aspect)How to ensure that the
divided part will be compiled in original form?
• A trace unique id will be used to identify a particular
prescription along with date, doctor’s code and hospital
code.
• A trace code will be used to divide the prescription into
three parts.
• The three parts will be sent to three different regions to
maintain patient’s confidentiality of information.
• When the three different parts arrives and is compiled in
database, a special calculation will be done using a function
to match the three parts. If matched only then, it will be
compiled and saved.

8. (Technical Aspect)Link between: The Micro work
application, Software(Document management
software) and Database?

to the tasks medical history.

9. Novelty
• The information obtained through medical histories,
together with clinical examination, enables the
physician to form a diagnosis and treatment plan.
• With a proper diagnosis the patient can be treated
early and saved from life threatening diseases and
illness.
• If a patient changes from one doctor to the other,
which generally happens in Countries like Nepal; the
patient can get better service and Doctor can know
about the patient illness and the medications.

10. Challenges
• Cost of Scanning.
• Cost of Acquiring Software.
• As 100% accuracy in data entry is required,
the work must be re-proofread several times.
• Need for reconciliation of the compiled
records.
