Abstract:
India is the second most populous country in the world and will cross the population of China by 20281, but the investment in healthcare technology and infrastuture in India is not growingat the same pace. This can be a threat in managing a number of diseases caused due to the lack of infrastructure. In addition, the evolution of technology in healthcare is sluggish in India as healthcare remains to be a neglected sector. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) would help the doctors communicate effectively with the patients during or after the treatment (Carnahan, 2006), automate the manual monitoring of inpatient departments in the hospitals, reduce errors during administration of medication to patients (Chertow et al., 2001), and diagnose the patients accurately and rapidly as the accessibility to patients’ history is simplified (Miller &Sim, 2004)...
