This lesson is crucial, particularly in light of the current coronavirus outbreak: health is wealth. In an attempt to restrict the deadly virus, a whole city was abandoned due to its fast spread. When the Doherty Institute discovered a method to cultivate coronavirus, they wasted no time in sharing all the information with the world, opening the door to a cure for this epidemic. This virus taught us that health systems needed to be connected and that we needed more technology-focused approaches to diagnosing and curing such diseases.
The top 5 digital health applications in Pakistan are mentioned because technology may be very helpful there and because, as the saying goes, “Prevention is always better than a cure.”
FindmyDoctor
FindmyDoctor, which was founded in 2016 and has its headquarters in Karachi, provides lab testing, in-home consultations with doctors, and the ability to “find a doctor in your local proximity.” Additionally, there is a “blood required” option that might assist you in locating local blood donors. In addition to offering health advice, the app’s simplicity and style make it one of the top-performing apps in the in-app store.
Healthpass TeleDoc
Medicount Pvt Ltd is the developer of Healthpass Teledoc. It’s a “Find a Doctor” app that assists you in scheduling an appointment and locating physicians in your area. You may pay with your phone with this easy-to-use and uncluttered software.
Dawaai
For medications, Dawaai is your one-stop store. Dawaai has all the information you need regarding medications, including how to get them online, when to refill them, where to order them, potential adverse effects, and delivery information. It also notifies you of impending ones and serves as a reminder. One of the features that Dawaai brought to Pakistan was “Denture at Home,” which also allows lab testing to be completed at home.
Pharmapedia Pakistan
We’ll also be discussing “Pharmapedia Pakistan,” another intriguing app. It is an encyclopedia of pharmacy, as the name implies. It includes all of the details on the medications that are accessible in Pakistan, including doses, adverse effects, and much more.
Medical Guide App Pakistan
The last app we’ll talk about is the Medical Guide App Pakistan, which has all the information you could possibly need regarding ambulances, medications, and hospitals. Additionally, it operates offline, allowing you to study the particular prescriptions and remedies without any advertisements.
To put it mildly, Pakistan’s digital health business is rather young. To move our nation closer to being a real digital health nation, we need additional apps and communication between pharmacies, hospitals, ambulances, and other establishments.
