HealthMe: An Android App for Interlinking of nearby Hospitals for Resource Sharing in Emergency
Computer Department, Smt. Indira Gandhi College of Engineering, Navi Mumbai ***
Abstract Hospitals are exposed to mass causalities, natural disasters, and events. Within a short period, hospitals must provide care to large numbers of casualties in any damaged infrastructure, despite inadequate communications, great personnel risk, and limited resources. During emergencies communication in hospitals play a major role. During emergency situations and in the earliest emergency times, the data regarding the accidents and their true causes are often imprecise. Our application aims at building a communication bridge between Hospitals for Resource sharing in Emergency situations where a patient/relative of the patient can find nearby hospitals and resources available in that specific hospital. Our goal is to provide appropriate health care services during emergencies to the patients.
Keywords Emergency services, health information management, medical information systems, Ambulance Services

MichalGazielYablowitz&DavidGarySchwartz(2018) explainedthatSmartphoneapplicationstosupporthealthcareare proliferating. A growing and important subset of these apps support emergency medical intervention to address a wide range of illness related emergencies to speed the arrival of relevant treatment. The emergency response characteristics and strategies employed by these apps are the focus of their study, resulting in a mHealth Emergency Strategy Index. While a growing body of information focuses on the usability, security, and privacy features that distinguish such apps, research that maps the many emergency intervention tactics and provides assessment markers are also becoming more common. They surveyed an extensive range of mHealth apps designed for emergency response along with the related assessmentliteratureandpresentanindexformobile basedmedicalemergencyinterventionappsthatcanaddressfuture assessmentneedsofmHealthapps.
