Coronavirus pandemic has created a ripple in our smooth river like flowing life. Every sector be it education, industrial, medical, etc has been badly shaken. The mortality rate across the world is increasing almost every day and people are getting more and more affected by this outbreak.
If we shed some light on the repercussions faced by the medical sector we will be taken back because in a country like India which has a huge population we lack the hospital infrastructure to treat people as quickly as possible. But if we go by a very popular phrase which says- “Necessity is the mother of invention”. It is apt in these times of despair. Here the invention is the Telemedicine app development solution. But this invention is not new. It existed for a long time but the actual need for these applications is felt in the current scenario.
Telemedicine App development is a unique platform where people no matter where they reside or whether they are stuck in traffic or having a severe stomach ache at 2 o’clock in the night can get access to a professional physician/doctor and within no time they will prescribe you the apt medications. In India where more than half of the population is living in the village or the rural territories, it becomes next to impossible for a person to get the right treatment at the right moment.
Suppose there is a pregnant woman who is living in a secluded area and she starts to have labor pain at 4 a.m. No doctor could visit her. She has to travel from her house to the nearest urban area where she can go to the hospital. But what if in the middle of this commute the pain becomes unbearable and an accident occurs where she loses the baby. In this scenario who will be answerable for this loss?
These incidents incline us to incorporate telemedicine app development solutions into our life.
