Developed a mobile application for medical care

BSMU students Bazhena Kurzova and Ivan Karshakevich created a mobile application that will allow doctors to navigate in an emergency and coordinate their actions in providing assistance to victims.

The idea of ​​the project belongs to Ivan Karshakevich. “The project was born about 3 years ago at the military medical faculty of BSMU with the support of the department of organization of medical support for troops and emergency medicine. In the process of training and training, we came to the conclusion that it would be great if such an assistant for a doctor appeared,” recalls it.

The application is useful in case of an incident with a large number of victims, when one doctor will have several patients and it will be necessary to quickly assess the condition of each. The doctor approaches the patient, opens the application, receives an algorithm of actions, performs the specified manipulations and fills in the application data on the victim. The application according to the specified information determines the condition of a person as severe, moderate or satisfactory. Next, the doctor marks the examined patient with a conditional sticker and proceeds to the examination of the next victim. A doctor who arrives at the emergency site later, approaching the patient, sees that his colleague has already examined this person, therefore he does not duplicate the actions, but, for example, provides another type of help or takes him to the hospital.

According to belta.by, the application will be able to recommend the nearest hospital, where the examined victims will receive the necessary type of help, send information about the patient to the medical institution while he is traveling. Thus, it will be possible to improve the quality of assistance provided.
