Mobile Doctor

MobileDoc is a Web 2.0-based application running on mobile phones that is especially tailored for emerging markets and helps to find medical help in emergency situations. Medical experts as well as hospitals can define which diseases and once they set their status to "available", their current position is constantly broadcasted on the web. People in need of help can report easily ailments by touching body parts in a Widget called the MobileDocClient - a graphic interface that works well even if reading skills are poor. The list of relevant medical help facilities as well as their positions marked on a map is shown immediately. MobileDoc is easy to navigate and gets help as quickly as possible. In situations where time decides between life and death, finding help quickly and nearby is of vital importance. Mobile Doctor could potentially save lives if rolled out. www.symbianresources.com/projects/mobiledoc.php
