Patient Narratives Upload - Project Proposal

Google Summer of Code 2013 Project

Project at Google melange: https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/durapix/118001





1. Introduction (Motivation for the project) 

 



 

 

Just  think of a situation where a patient isn’t capable of attending clinic  to get proper health-care treatment. But he/she might have the Internet  facility at their homes or may be at their neighbourhoods. So in that  case If the person could get medical advice through internet that would  be really cool, isnt it ?

 

So  that’s where the Patient Narratives Module’s idea comes from. The  care-seeking patient can simply login to the publicly hosted OpenMRS  system and Navigate to Patient Narratives interface and fill, upload the  required information (simply they could just say their story) submit  it! And wait for the confirmation from Care-providers who are generously  waiting to provide health-care support for them.
