3. A PRESCRIPTION MANAGEMENT MOBILE APP FOR PHYSICIANS
Situation
Challenge
A startup ISV with an idea to empower physicians to leverage their smart
phones to provide enhanced services to their patients
Develop an android mobile application and leverage
the Microsoft technologies specific skill set of their
existing workforce for maintaining the application
Physician had his own Patient pool and related
historical data which is confidential in nature,
whereas the Pharmacy and Drug data was shared
across Physicians.
Harbinger Solution
Harbinger evaluated multiple technology options by implementing POCs and
finalized on MonoDroid 2.10 to develop Android application using C#.NET.
Provide an easy access to prescription for both
Pharmacy and Patient at same time
Harbinger developed a Web Service Interface using WCF framework and
hosted endpoints to make data selectively accessible. This enabled sharing
of pharmacy and drug data and maintaining the privacy of patient data.
Harbinger implemented interactive sharing options based on notification
model using SMS and emails. Physicians could select a pharmacy and send
the prescription via SMS or Emails and system would then send similar
notification to Patients to enable them to collect drugs prescribed to them.
Harbinger utilized native GPS and Google Maps services to enhance
interactivity and user experience and integrated SMS gateway provided by
client.
Physicians wanted fast access to the huge drug data
along with data security
Technologies & Tools
Harbinger devised data caching using SQLite Database for faster access.
This technique stored the drugs information in encrypted form on the device
with enhanced security.

The client was able to leverage upon the skill set of their existing workforce. This
resulted in reduced costs in enhancements and maintenance of the application.
Centralized data storage and management system with common access point helped
physician to access common (pharmacy details) and private (patients' information) via
mobile application on the go, thus ensuring high availability.
The physician could search the pharmacy to suit patient's proximity or theirs. The
notifications would ensure complete and seamless communication between physicians,
pharmacies and patients. This simple implementation resulted in process innovation,
placing product at higher place in competition.
Use of secured local storage on device helped physicians lookup drugs quickly and
interactively without voiding data security compliance standards.
