JiyoKids

All parents know that the biggest challenge of parenting is taking care of a sick child. As children are unable to explain what is bothering them parents have to rely on pediatricians to help allay their fears and anxiety. Pediatricians are not always easily accessible or available. This leads to a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. This can be solved if parents are able to quickly access their child’s doctor. These days technology is available that can literally give parents that access at their fingertips. Mobile phones, ipads and laptops can be used to provide the JiyoKids app to connect doctors to their patients. Parents and doctors can connect with each other by messaging, phone calls or video using their smart phones. The patient can also use this platform to get educational material and purchase medical products for their children. In short this platform works just like your favourite messaging app with additional live video facility and much more.

Parents can use this platform to avoid unnecessary visits to the doctor’s clinic as most of the problems can be solved remotely. This is especially true for follow up visits and visits which are done to show test reports. Reports and images can be uploaded to the platform easily. This platform will also help doctors see the children using the video capability and help make a more accurate diagnosis than they could by just a phone call. They can also use audio calls to ask questions when needed. Doctors can order tests and prescribe medications using an electronic prescription. The prescriptions can be sent directly to the lab, imaging center or pharmacy. Patients can also print them at home if they want a hard copy. The patient and the doctors will have the ability to see the documentation of the encounters on the phone, ipads or laptops. Doctor can post educational material and frequently asked questions to help parents understand common medical problems in children. Parents can procure medical products from vendors who provide medical products for children and infants.

The doctors will find it valuable because they can customize the platform to suit their needs. They will be able to be more efficient and need not ask patients to come to their clinic for things that can be done through the platform. This will help them only see those patients who actually need to be seen in their clinics. They can see reports, pictures and stored video on the platform. The doctors will be paid for all interactions they have with their patients. They will also have the flexibility to not charge the patients if they choose to do so. The doctors will also have access to a very simple electronic medical record system that can be customized to suit their needs. The electronic prescription will also ensure legibility and accuracy of their prescriptions. As the patient history is always available the doctor does not have to rely on his memory to remember the care he has previously provided his patients. In short it is a very safe, efficient and economical way of providing care for patients, especially children who hate going to doctor’s clinics.
