The world is moving towards mobility, as it has transformed the way we have been living for years. As the mobile phones and apps have made our lives easier. The healthcare industry is also gradually adopting, as easy and quick communication through apps during emergency can save lives. So, the field of healthcare app development is also gaining momentum these days.

Mobility is extremely crucial in healthcare industry, as the value is directly related to lives and not money. It contributes the most in improving the level of quality of services

1. Administrative process: When it comes to managing entire process right from checking in to discharge, there is a lot of hustle. Patients have to call and take appointment, wait for receptionist to answer and manage according to availability of doctor. A mobile app for hospital will help to manage time and information, as patients can check availability of doctors and take an appointment from the app itself and doctors can use the same app to manage their meetings and schedule. A mobile app will help to restructure entire administrative process and manage time and information.

2. Digital health records: Documenting the health records of patient is one of the most important thing to do in hospital environment. One of the big challenges is to store ample amount of information, as it needs huge storage space and retrieving the same when needed. So, using a mobile app to store and retrieve the health records of patients will streamline the process at great scale.

3. Mobile communications: There are a lot of departments in hospital and a mobile app can collaborate all of them. One mobile app can make the internal communication extremely easy. It can also help people to communicate with people working at another branch of the hospital. This helps a lot of time and serves like a boon in times of emergency.

With the help of hospital app for the patient, doctor can get all details of patient using an app and provide the right treatment by informing the assistant doctor or nurse. The advantage of Hospital apps for doctor is also useful when a patient get discharged from the hospital and looking for recovery assistance from a doctor. In such situation, the doctor can find his/her treatment history at their finger touch using an app and provide the best suggestions.

Major features that a Hospital mobile app must have:

• Ability to search hospitals as per nearby locations, specialties or doctors
• Contact details of the hospitals and ability to connect with them with a click
• Finding and booking ambulances
• Easy scheduling of Home Pickups for Blood Collections
• Directions to the hospital on the map with voice assistance.
• Includes list of all branches of Hospital’s.

•  Ability to chat with doctors and discuss the report
• Ability to request medication refills

• Health Tracker and Medicine Reminders
• Health Tips to keep you in shape
• News and Events from hospital

Not only do these functions improve patient satisfaction scores, but it also present tremendous cost savings for hospitals, as it reduces incoming call volume and the need for 24/7 call centers. Healthcare app should allow patients to search for information on treatments as well as medications about different health issues. In addition, while searching for any medicine, you should get a list of side effects and behavioral restrictions. The app should offer step-by-step walk through in order to guide people through common first-aid scenario that can save the lives of people in case of an emergency such as asthma attacks or broken bones.

Based on one survey, approximately 52% people prefer smartphone to get health related information such as health insurance, prescription information and more. Around 33% doctors make their prescribing decision using a smartphone. It also says that in next five years, mobile app for healthcare plays a key role in the medical practice.

Mixed Vegetable Salad Platter

This raw mixed vegetable salad takes the green leaves out of the mix and focuses more on the "topping" vegetables themselves. I often have trouble eating zucchini, carrots, and cabbage in their raw states because they are tough to chew and I'd rather save the effort by cooking them or replacing them altogether. However, by shredding the zucchini and carrot and finely slicing the cabbage, enjoying them raw is much easier. That's what makes this salad is so great—it allows me to get the most nutritional benefit from vegetables I normally shun.

The sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and olives offer complementary textures and flavors and the vinaigrette packs a fresh, lemony punch. I like to serve this dish at the center of the dinner table family-style and go in for servings as I enjoy the main dish, because it acts somewhat as a palette cleanser throughout the meal. Enjoy!

Serves 2

Ingredients

1/2 large zucchini

1 carrot

5–6 dry sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes (or 5-6 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes)

1/4 head red cabbage

1 handful parsley

1/4 cup olive oil

1 lemon, juiced

8–10 black olives

1/4–1/2cup feta cheese, crumbled

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Grate the zucchini and carrot, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, finely slice the red cabbage and chop the parsley. Place into a bowl.
2. In a separate small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss until evenly distributed.
4. Put the mixture into a serving dish and top with olives and feta cheese.
5. Serve family-style and enjoy! Top with freshly ground pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil or vinaigrette if desired.
