Mobile SMS based Self-Medication Support System for Health-care
In this paper, we propose a short text
messaging(SMS) based health-care system ideal for rural
areas where one cannot find proper health-care because of
scarcity of doctors and other health-care resources. This
system especially focuses on issue of self-medication mostly
prevailing in rural areas. We discuss our system by taking
Pakistan as our case study. In addition to this, we also discuss
the social network to be formed as a result of this system. We
discuss how the data obtained from this system can be
adapted to form a social network. We also discover how this
social network can be used to improve health-care system.
