I would like to give you an overview about the app that I have developed called “Arista Medico”, which enables the consumer to find the availability of any medicine prescribed by Doctors across India, at a much affordable cost at their nearest Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadi Kendra.
The medicines prescribed in hospitals are largely dependent on their tie ups with the Pharma companies, who focus on increasing their profit margins and the consumer ends up paying two or three times the actual cost. This app helps consumers get the same medicines at a much cheaper cost through PMJAK which is established by the Govt. Hence it solves a very big problem of expensive healthcare for all sections of the society.
Now let me explain how I have made this app user friendly.
This app is divided into 2 parts. One part is for the End Consumer and the second part is for PMJAK staff for updating the database. The consumer has 4 options to choose from.
• The first option is for searching the availability of medicines at PMJAK stores. Once the search is successful, it also helps to navigate further to find the nearest store.
• The second option is for medical devices like thermometer, Glucometer etc
• The third option is for veterinary medicines.
• The last option is for mobility devices.
I would like to conclude by saying that this is an absolutely cost-effective solution for the general public and will help create a major change in the way healthcare functions currently in India, wherein a lot of people die due to not being able to afford good healthcare and expensive medicines. Hence, I really hope that this app can be a milestone in revolutionizing the medical industry. Thank You.
