In the era of
digital world, you do not need to go round the clinic to consult a doctor, but you can do this with your
phone. A Delhi-based hospital has created a mobile application that you can use to get your checkup done with the help of
your smartphone.
Experts from Delhi’s well-known Sir Ganga Ram Hospital have created a mobile app named
myFollowup. Through this app,
patients can upload their reports and get opinions from doctors. Not only this, if you consult a specialist using this
app then its fees are also economical.
Beneficial for patients living in far-flung areas
The most advantage of the doctor’s digital advice is those people who have to travel long distances for treatment or
have to go to another city or country. For example, if you keep coming from a city in Chhattisgarh or from a country like
Kenya-Sri Lanka, in a city like Delhi,You will get great benefit from this app. You will not have to take the trouble and
expenses of traveling from time to time, but rather easily put your report on the app and get advice from doctors.
However, for the diseases which are very essential for the patient to go to the doctor, this app can not be utilized.
Sudhir Kalhan, doctor of Ganga Ram Hospital said, “This is not like a blind date. It is based on mutual trust of the
patient and the doctor. Before giving opinion to a patient, the history of treatment for us Knowing is also important. ‘
He said, “We have done a lot of surgery from different countries. Such patients do not need to come to the hospital now
for regular checkup. Consultance through this app will help people greatly.
So many thousand users have downloaded
So far, more than 10000 smart phone users have downloaded the myFollowup app. There are more than 200 doctors associated
with Ganga Ram Hospital, who give consultation to patients on the already approved online appointment.
11 year old girl has treated
Recently, the treatment of a 11-year-old girl successfully completed due to this app. Doctors told that this girl, who
lived in a remote area, had a liver transplant operation in August. A few days after the operation, he had a fever. When
the family felt it could be dangerous to get Fever, then they talked to the doctors.
But due to the toxic fumes in Delhi, doctors asked the girl not to be brought here. Then the baby’s blood sample was
sent to Delhi through the Mifeleep app and reports were also received on this app. After this, the doctors explained to
the entire treatment family through the app itself.
Ape made to overcome this problem
Dr. Kalhan said, “The patient would often call night-berrate and ask about the problems related to his illness.
Remembering everyone’s faces is very difficult to remember about his illness. Because of this we got the idea of making
a myFollowup app. This is actually the virtual OPD of doctors. ‘
