Health App “KnowMyHealth”
launched today by Governor of Punjab
Vinay Kumar
Chandigarh
The Governor of
Punjab and Administrator, U.T., Chandigarh, Sh. V.P. Singh Badnore today
launched a Health App “KnowMyHealth” developed by M/s DejaVu Health Technology
Solution in presence of Sh.
Arun Kumar Gupta, IAS, Principal Secretary Health, Sh. Sanjay Beniwal, IPS,
Director General of Police, Sh. Prem Bhandari of M/s DejaVu Health Technology
Solution; and Dr. G. Dewan, Director Health Services-cum-Mission Director NHM.
This app would be helpful in lifelong storage of patient health record across
all health institutions both in Government as well as of Private sector. The
app can be downloaded by any patient and health profile can be uploaded by both
the patients through app or through the integration of patient data by the
concerned hospital. The app would be useful to the patients as they would not
have to carry medical reports or prescriptions physically and can show these
records in the soft form while consulting any medical practitioner. The
management information system reports generated by the system can be useful to
the government in preventive care localized in a specific geographical area and
even curative care can be targeted timely to the affected localized population.
The health institutions would be able to share the health data of patients only
after specific consent of the patient. The worldwide launch of this app has
been done from Chandigarh and it would be extended to other parts subsequently.
Since the medical history of the patients will be stored in this app, it will
be beneficial for the medical experts to have complete review of the patient’s
record in less-time while providing further medication, which will subsequently
improve the quality in care. Patients can also utilise the help and guide
features of this app for better knowledge of healthcare. The app will also
facilitate voice based uploading of medical information and search feature
subsequently.
