An Insight into MAMSS Medical Portfolio

The following Project was done by us during training in Health Informatics at CDAC Headquarters, Pune. 

I would like to share with you my friends the project that we had done during our training in CDAC. For your Information, CDAC is a Government Software Organization involved in research & training purpose. 

Project Name: MAMSS Medical Portfolio
We had developed a web based application, which is a kind of Personal Health Record though not actually speaking, since it differs in many key aspects. It holds the entire Patient’s Medical Record till Date in an electronic form through a web application.

The Basic Objective of our project was to bring a change in existing Health care scenario, to reduce the burden of patient carrying medical records file with him during his every visit to a Health care provider. Instead of that the Patient will remember his MAMSS ID (or carry a flash drive with him ) and will be able to log in through his Id when he encounters a visit to a hospital or a clinic. The physician in-charge will be able to review his entire till date medical history & thus decide or continue with his further treatment protocol.

The Concept was to make a Paperless Patient with the help of technological advancement & penetration of Information Technology in Health care. Although it is a unique concept but many groups are thinking on the same lines and few might be working.

The web based application we developed had an essential feature of having backup in the form of Standalone application where the internet connectivity is not possible. This feature was sought after consideration of the remote places in Villages or where there is no internet connectivity due to any reasons. Such kind of application is also useful in case of Telemedicine.

Our Aim was also to make the project compliant to Interoperable standards like HL7, DI COM.But due to Time constraint we had to limit down lot of features.


ATTENTION PLEASE! I kindly request my readers to understand a thing that the mentioned above project belongs to us ie MAMSS Group and hence we have the entire authority to share and discuss the project in public domain.This project was done by we students of CDAC PG DHI Batch Feb 2010[also called as MAMSS Group] as a part of our course schedule & training program and it has absolutely no relation with the CDAC Research Department.Hence there is no scope for any issue as disclosing confidential information or copyrighted information.
