1Introduction:
Android (operating system)
Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and
other open source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such
as smartphones and tablets. Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as
the Open Handset Alliance and commercially sponsored by Google. It was unveiled in
November 2007, with the first commercial Android device launched in September 2008.
It is free and open source software; its source code is known as Android Open Source Project
(AOSP), which is primarily licensed under the Apache License. However most Android devices
ship with additional proprietary software pre-installed, most notably Google Mobile
Services (GMS) which includes core apps such as Google Chrome, the digital
distribution platform Google Play and associated Google Play Services development platform.
About 70 percent of Android smartphones run Google's ecosystem; competing Android
ecosystems and forks include Fire OS (developed by Amazon) or LineageOS. However the
"Android" name and logo are trademarks of Google which impose standards to restrict
"uncertified" devices outside their ecosystem to use Android branding.
The source code has been used to develop variants of Android on a range of other electronics,
such as game consoles, digital cameras, portable media players, PCs and others, each with a
specialized user interface. Some well known derivatives include Android TV for televisions
and Wear OS for wearables, both developed by Google. Software packages on Android, which
use the APK format, are generally distributed through proprietary application stores like Google
Play Store, Samsung Galaxy Store, and Huawei AppGallery, or open source platforms
like Aptoide or F-Droid.
1.1Role of Android app in medical field: The world has changed, the technology has
advanced, and all of us live in the mobile era – including healthcare professionals. Being a

doctor is not an easy task so if you can make it at least a little bit easier on yourself – you

should. Luckily, there are great new medical apps for doctors that can help you with that.But

what are the best virtual doctor apps for doctors and physicians? With so many options out

there, it is easy to get overwhelmed and not know which ones to choose. Well, we have done

the research for you and we are presenting you with top medical apps worth considering.This

app could also be useful to students, interns and residents, nurses, and pharmacists because it is

a great source of information and it could help with their medical education.You can use this

medical app for Android and iOS devices after logging in. You will see a library of medical

conditions and associated symptoms, drugs used as a part of the treatment of each of those

conditions, multi-drug interactions, etc.It will help you diagnose patients based on their exam

findings, symptoms, and lab results. It also offers useful videos featuring examination and
clinical procedures, as well as push notifications with the medical news such as drug approvals,

new research, black box warnings, etc.

2 Purpose:Medical apps are useful both for the doctors and the patients. The patients like to
have a doctor on-demand or sort of an online doctor visit. The doctors now, on the other hand,

can benefit from all the information about health conditions and their treatments available

online.So if you are one of the healthcare professionals that want to be prepared at any time,

take a better look at the best medical apps for doctors and make your life easier during med

school, residency, or regular work.

2.1Health Care Industry Today

Improving the user experience is key. With increasing medical COSTS- patients they are
actively looking for alternatives to such expensive treatments. Patients today expect to
have a comfortable and seamless experience. This includes everything from access to
information to make informed decisions and have their questions answered.

i. The Electronic Health Record

This has created great strides in the centralization and efficiency of patient care
information. These EHR can also be used as a tool for health and population data for the
future.

Today’s patient data is what we are taking decisions outside that will change and improve
the results of the consistency of the medicine delivered.

ii. mHealth

As the name suggests, Mobile Health acts as a freeing healthcare device that enables
physicians and patients alike to check on healthcare processes on-the-go.

Slowly and steadily the trend became more prominent and prevalent due to which
smartphones and tablets allowed healthcare providers to more freely access and sent
information.

At present, Physicians and service providers can use mHealth tools for orders,
documentation and simply to reach more information when with patients.

iii. Portal Technology

With the passing years, patients have begun to become their own kind of industry players.
medical news

medical calculatorsWith the help of portal technology, people (healthcare professionals

and patients) can easily access medical records and interact online. Due to which patients
become more closely and better educated about their care.

iv. Remote Monitoring Tools

In 2013, all patients worldwide started using monitoring solutions at home. As a result,
the costs and visits a doctor succeeded in reducing unnecessary.Patients were monitored
at home. According to practitioners, it’s basically allowing others to monitor their health
for you.It may sound invasive but is ideal for patients with serious and chronic diseases.
If you are looking for medical apps development to upgrade your healthcare organization
then remote monitoring is an amazing option.

2.2 Benefits Of Having Medical Apps

You can face a number of benefits using healthcare & medical apps.  These apps are
beneficial for both doctors and patients.  Just take a look at it:

i. Immediate Access To Care

Having access to care on demand is exactly what a patient demands to overcome health
problems today, except in some medical emergency situations.

This can save a lot of costs because patients can find and have scheduled appointments
with doctors in just a few taps and gain access to information in an instant.

In some cases, users can set up a home visit and communicate with experts through chat
audio/video.

A lot of mobile health applications are available on the market that provides users book
appointments and asks questions related to health issues throughout the day.

ii. Less Diagnostic Errors

An error in the medical diagnosis of a person can cause serious damage to the health
condition of a patient.

Medical mobile application capabilities are possessed with intelligent diagnosis that can
reduce the error rate and provide predictions of the drug.

The function of these mobile applications does not limit itself to the precise diagnosis.
The companies making Healthcare Applications integrate additional features that also
help doctors to use mobile applications with cloud service to store patient records.
Therefore, errors from bad deduction patient history or mixed/missing records can be
minimized greatly.

iii. Patients Have Become InchargeOf Their Own Health

The upsurging wave carries health and fitness trackers have promised self-control
capabilities that patients can use to monitor their health on a consistent basis.

They were not only given the property to control your health to stay active but also help
achieve better results.

With these powerful gadgets, users are increasingly committed to any kind of
exercise/activity, which in turn, helps them prevent diseases or health problems.

Metrics that users can track through such portable devices are exercise routines, diet,
calorie intake, heartbeat, diabetes, and so on.

iv. Providing Better Ways Of Communication For Patients And Doctors

Medical applications are helping patients to cure diseases. The technological changes in
medical health apps have brought a revolution.

3. Scope: The use of mobile Internet devices (MIDs), smartphones, and proprietary software
applications (also known as "apps" in short) can improve communication among medical
caregivers. The utilization of these mobile technologies has further transformed health care,
communications, commerce, education, and entertainment, among other fields. Newer
technologies have the potential to be adapted for improvement in health care and medical
education in general. Mobile technology is one of the latest strings of technological innovations
that can be integrated into medical education. M-learning (the use of mobile technologies in
teaching/training) has been used as a complimentary resource for interaction between students
and instructors for motivation and learning. The main uses described for mobile devices in
medical education can be divided into (a) information management (IM), (b) communication,
and (c) time management. The field of mobile technology in health-care services and medical
education is quite new and throws open ample opportunities for researchers to conduct further
studies. Educators in medicine, dermatology, and public health as well as practicing physicians
and surgeons need to embrace this new technology, study its further adoption, and assist in the
responsible integration of these devices into the art and practice of medicine.

4. Objectives:
Over the last few years, information technology has penetrated and become an inseparable part of the
medical sphere. In the era of wireless medicine, creating focused apps to cater to healthcare providers
and patients is becoming a necessity. In 2017, more than 3.4 billion people will have smart phones or
tablets with access to mobile health apps, according to studies done by Research2guidance.com. 50
percent of those people will have downloaded at least one medical mobile app. Future mHealth
business owners should consider multi-platform app development right from the beginning if they want
their solution to succeed. Currently, more than 70% of mHealth app publishers choose both the iOS and
Android platforms to deliver their application to care providers and patients. The medical mobile app
development sector provides an exceptional amount of potential to both startups and entrepreneurs.
Investors are willing to support the growth of healthcare and hospitals and are excited about investing in
this growing sphere. As well, many private care providers plan to adopt apps on a massive scale to
enhance their practice’s workflow.

i. ENTERING THE MEDICAL MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT MARKET

mHealth will continue to develop at a rapid pace and, as more people download and use mHealth apps,
the IT industry powering these apps learns more about user behaviours, popular and not-so-popular app
features, and beyond. This knowledge is already being used today to focus medical mobile app
development accordingly. Let’s take a closer look at the current state of the market, based on feedback
from healthcare professionals and organizations.

ii. IMPROVING EXISTING MEDICAL MOBILE APPS

If you’ve already got an mHealth app on the market, it’s important to be aware of what current

users are saying about the sector in order to improve your app accordingly. The diagram below

shows which areas of mHealth have been identified as needing improvement in the market.
Security, analytics, patient engagement, and population health are the most important fields to

improve (52%, 51%, 44%, and 44% respectively). EHR follows in priority at 31%, with remote

patient monitoring (24%) and revenue cycle management (22%) rounding off responses. From

these results, we see that aligning development with user needs and expectations is essential to an

mHealth app’s success. Increasing revenue potential and efficiency using apps are close behind in

terms of developmental priorities. Companies already active in the sector should focus on

improving and optimizing their apps. In order to be successful, those interested in entering the

market should focus on developing solutions that take these improvements and the existing gaps

into account.

iii. EXPECTED INNOVATIONS IN mHEALTH

As more companies enter this rapidly growing space, innovations are sure to occur. By assessing

the current state of the market and looking at what is being researched and tested at the moment,

we’re able to identify what features for mHealth apps we can expect to pop up in the near future.

These include:

 remote monitoring of a patient’s health. Using an app, a doctor will be able to monitor vital

signs and symptoms of patients;

 conducting ECG tests and sending the results to the doctor. The doctor can give feedback

instantly or share the results with colleagues through secure channels;

 analyzing moles on a patient’s body to define whether they are malignant;

 measuring blood pressure, controlling levels of glucose and weight, as well as measuring

pulse and reading oxygen saturation. This kind of monitoring will help prevent occurrence of

diabetes, heart failures, or strokes;

 body sounds readings. Science Daily reports that physician researchers at Hiroshima

University in Japan have come up with a computer program that attaches to an electronic

stethoscope to organize lung sounds into five diagnostic categories with a high accuracy rate.

The researchers plan on eventually developing this breakthrough technology into an app that

will live on patients’ smartphones or tablets;

 detecting sexually transmitted infections through a little chip attached to a smartphone. The

user pours a sample of their urine onto the chip and their smartphone will show them their

test result;

 visual acuity reading through a smartphone’s camera;

 monitoring lung function;

 conducting heart electrophysiology;

 detecting mood shifts. A group of researchers at the University of Michigan are in the early

testing stages of coming up with an app that’s capable of determining early signs of mood

shifts in those with bipolar disorders by detecting the subtle characteristics of a person’s
voice patterns in normal, everyday phone conversations.

These innovations will work to further mHealth, improving overall patient health and

facilitating patient/doctor communications, as well as increasing efficiency in healthcare

organizations and practices. Using advances in tech alongside user feedback, developers,

startups, and entrepreneurs can enter this rapidly expanding market successfully, creating

apps that are useful, user-friendly, and profitable.

iv. PRIORITIZING SECURITY IN mHEALTH

Despite the benefits that medical mobile app development can offer every stakeholder involved in

the sector, there are some concerns to think about before entering the market. Since healthcare is
heavily regulated in most parts of the world and because the data being transmitted, gathered, and

used is of a sensitive nature, protecting this information is a critical part of mHealth app

development. Transmitting data without encrypting it can be risky, depending on the type of

mHealth app being developed and the type of data that’s gathered from users. Making sure that

users (patients, healthcare providers, etc.) are aware of the confidential data that’s being

transmitted and have given explicit consent to its transmission is another important aspect to take

into account when developing a medical mobile app. Prioritizing security is a good strategy for

those interested in this sector. The bar graphs below show major privacy concerns that healthcare

organizations have faced and are a good indicator of the security measures that must be

considered in mHealth app development. Everything from network and app security, to

encryption and transmission of data, to information exchange, to the human element need to be

planned for.

4 Development plan of android medical app:

Millions of people rely on their mobile devices to help them simplify their daily life. By

developing a medical mobile app to help monitor their health conditions and nutrition levels, we

can provide more people with access to even the most basic levels of healthcare. Users can

prevent diseases or flare-ups in existing conditions, without having to wait for the first serious

symptoms to occur. Anyone will be able to get professional medical consultation, directly from

their device. This kind of access to basic levels of healthcare will become vastly important,

especially for people living in the suburbs, villages, areas affected by war, or the poorest cities in

third world countries.

As well, having an easy and convenient way to schedule a doctor’s appointment or share health-
related information can greatly benefit patients while also saving clinics lots of time and effort in
their administrative duties.

These are all great reasons to develop a medical mobile app.

 Any medical mobile app development process starts with careful planning that encourages what-
if scenarios and helps businesses envision all risk-factors. Below, we’re guiding you through all
steps of development, from planning to medical mobile app launch:

 Study current medical app market

 Put up a list of must-have features

 Outsource app development (in case you don’t have an in-house team)

 Develop according to privacy and security standards

 Test your app before submission

Below, you will find all details about every step of healthcare mobile app development.

The current state of medical mobile app development

Consumer surveys conducted in the USA report that a quarter of US adults use one or more
health tracking apps and a third of physicians have recommended an app to a patient in the past
year. Globally, around a billion smart phone users use a wellness or medical mobile app and this
state is estimated to triple in the coming years.

According to the Growing Value of Digital Health report, the top app stores already feature over
318,000 health apps and, as this innovative technology-enabled type of healthcare grows,
hospitals and other relevant stakeholders have begun engaging in medical health app
development to offer patients new, more convenient ways to collect and share health-related
information efficiently.
However, not all of these digital interventions are successful. Many medical mobile apps are not
living up to customer expectations due to poor user experience, confusing user interfaces, and
unsatisfactory functionality.

To make an exceptional mobile app for patient care, it’s important to know where hospital app
development has failed thus far. The main shortcomings of many apps currently on the market
include:

 unclear structure that doesn’t address a specific problem;

 a lack of clinical input;

 poor usability;

 failure to comply with rigorous privacy regulations and security practices.

Health app development of meaningful solutions that are reliable, as well as compliant with the
law, is a critical step in the adoption of medical apps among patients and care providers. There
are many different types of medical mobile apps, but most fall into 5 common categories:

High Level Entities and Process Flow:

 Managing all the Health Center
 Managing all the Booking
 Managing all the Appointment
 Managing all the Customers
 Managing all the Medicine
 Managing all the Test
 Managing all the Fees

HOW TO APPROACH HEALTHCARE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT?
The healthcare industry is among the first one to adopt the latest technology trends. Mobile app
development turns out to be a perfect solution. It is all about extra functionality, convenience,
and mobility. The full-fledged healthcare application is a promising start to enter the medical
industry. Though, how to do it right? 
It isn’t so easy to withstand the intense market competition. Besides a good idea, you need to
come up with a robust development strategy. You need to plan each step carefully and cover
everything to the smallest details. Another thing to consider is security and privacy. It always
comes first in healthcare application development.
 CHALLENGES TO TAKE WITH HEALTHCARE APPLICATION
DEVELOPMENT
The healthcare industry keeps on consistent improvement and achieves significant progress.
Improved management and delivery of medical services are essential here. Innovative
technologies open different opportunities to perform standard processes. With technological
advancements, the necessity of mHealth is only going to increase. Mobile healthcare apps feature
essential tasks and cover many health-related areas. Developing mobile apps has become a
common practice among medical institutions and third-party providers. 
Despite the variety of medical applications, the market requires alternatives and innovative
decisions. Healthcare mobile application development has enabled distinctive functionality. That
makes care delivery more accessible and efficient. It happens within customized, accessible, and
productive approaches. Mobile health app development enhances stakeholders’ interactions at
the highest level.

WHAT SOLUTIONS DOES HEALTHCARE APPLICATION

DEVELOPMENT BRING?
Modern technologies aim to simplify and advance medical services. It can cover typical
processes and create new ways to support quality care. The healthcare system focuses on
effective collaboration between hospitals, patients, and third-party providers. Both governments
and private institutions invest in innovative approaches, including healthcare application
development. They need to analyze the actual market situation and concentrate on population
health. As a result, it presents and supports unique care models. Moreover, it is important to
increase patients’ awareness and responsiveness. There are so many options to be on track and
improve health with digital solutions.
 HEALTHCARE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT FOR PATIENTS
Patient-centered care is one of the goals of efficient medical services. Healthcare app developers
support new models to deliver valuable patient experience. Moreover, it provides accessibility
and makes services affordable for everyone. Unique functionality and user personalization help
to build useful products. Care is coordinated across different channels that later unify into a
comprehensive system. The patient app is only one version of the healthcare application. If we
talk about a telemedicine app, the patients’ app has to be fully integrated. It includes the admin
panel, doctors’ app, EHR, and HMS systems. Let’s review a few examples and why users choose
them.
 HEALTHCARE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT FOR MEDICAL
PERSONNEL
Remaining patient-centered is easier while considering other stakeholders’ expectations. The
healthcare mobile app development company focuses on medical personnel needs. Digital
transformation doesn’t aim to replace doctors. Instead, it supports and focuses on patient-
oriented and valuable activities. Another thing is that healthcare application development has to
improve medical personnel wellbeing. They take primary responsibility for care services and
need some helpful tools here. Thus, doctor apps simplify daily routines and present new health
care models. It concentrates on the accuracy, speed, and quality of delivered services. Medical
applications for doctors can be divided into the following categories.

HEALTHCARE MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS

Healthcare app development embraces so many areas and provides different functionality.
However, several things would be typical for any medical mobile app development. Every
healthcare mobile app development company has to meet the already set requirements.
Exceptional functionality, advanced technological approaches, and design trends are things to
consider here. As well as they have to follow different compliance regulations. We’ll discuss
each of these aspects and outline some necessary details.

2. User Design Phase of android medical app:

The most popular app category is Games, while Health & Fitness barely makes it to the top 10.
2020 is a tough year, but it gives a lot of opportunities to introduce a new financially rewarding
and meaningful healthcare solution to the mobile app market, directly affecting people’s health
behavior, and helping them make their lives easier and more enjoyable.  For that, you need an
app with great functionality because a product is worthless when it doesn’t deliver. But this
functionality has to be presented by something that has the power to bring it forth — design. A
good healthcare app design highlights the most important details of a medical app, guides users
through, and suggests what to do next, resulting in necessary action. An app can become an
effective lead-generation tool and a company’s main product by itself. For a product connected
with health and/or medicine, UI/UX design is even more significant. 
 Types of healthcare applications

It’s worth noting that the “healthcare app” is a multifaceted concept that encompasses a
multitude of health- and medicine-related digital products. 

There are many types of healthcare apps, including and not limited to:

 Applications for remote patient consultation by healthcare professionals (telemedicine).

 Applications for patient interaction with their electronic medical records (EMR).
 Applications for the recording and management of a patient’s vital signs.
 Apps to remind patients of when to take medications, to exercise, etc.
 Apps for medical calculations.
 Reference apps containing medical information.
 Applications for fitness and sport.
 Healthy lifestyle and wellness applications (daily water intake, sleep management, etc).

How to design mobile apps for healthcare

Even when an app is not a business’ main product, it can be of immense value. For example, if
it’s an accompanying app for a medical office, it can take a load off personnel’s shoulders
providing information and services for customers in their stead. If a health app IS a primary
product, like in the case of fitness or meditation apps, then there’s even more at stake.
Sometimes the deficiencies in health app design are the reason why people quit using this or that
app altogether. To avoid it, take a look at some of the best practices of healthcare app design and
how they help to make apps focused, intuitive, and fast.

3. Construction Phase of android medical app

Millions of people rely on their mobile devices to help them simplify their daily life. By

developing a medical mobile app to help monitor their health conditions and nutrition levels, we

can provide more people with access to even the most basic levels of healthcare. Users can
 prevent diseases or flare-ups in existing conditions, without having to wait for the first serious

symptoms to occur. Anyone will be able to get professional medical consultation, directly from

their device. This kind of access to basic levels of healthcare will become vastly important,

especially for people living in the suburbs, villages, areas affected by war, or the poorest cities in

third world countries.

As well, having an easy and convenient way to schedule a doctor’s appointment or share health-
related information can greatly benefit patients while also saving clinics lots of time and effort in
their administrative duties.

These are all great reasons to develop a medical mobile app.

Any medical mobile app development process starts with careful planning that encourages what-
if scenarios and helps businesses envision all risk-factors. Below, we’re guiding you through all
steps of development, from planning to medical mobile app launch:

 Study current medical app market

 Put up a list of must-have features

 Outsource app development (in case you don’t have an in-house team)

 Develop according to privacy and security standards

 Test your app before submission

4.3 Tool Selection

Selection of the appropriate software is most crucial stage of the development phase. The choice
of software tool should be done in keeping view of the problem faced in order to avoid heavy
loss of time and money. Tools used for any system development are:

1. Hardware 2. Software
 1. Hardware :
Hardware required to run this system will be: Processor Core2du 2.6GHz and Above RAM 2GB and
Above HDD 80GB Hard Disk Space and Above 2. Software Any hardware without software is seemed to
be useless in this environment so different types of software are considered for this specific purpose.
Chosen ones are:

 Android Studio
 ADB (Android Debug Bridge) 
 GameMaker: Studio

DEPLOYMENT PLAN:
Today, we can see a large number of medical applications contributing to the well-being of
people. Be it tracking their physical activities to keeping a track of their medicine regime, people
have started depending upon their mobile app. Contributing to this trend, many hospitals,
medical institutes and doctors have started building their own applications. These apps do not
just help the patients in staying healthy, but also help these medical professionals in reaching out
more and more people, conveniently. 
But before we go deep into the industry trends and the scenario of developing healthcare mobile
apps, it’s important to realize the current market stats. Also, we need to figure out why most of
the applications cannot make a ground in this highly competitive marketplace. Here are a few
questions that every app development company and medical professional must address before
investing in healthcare mobile applications:
 Why are mobile health apps useful? Why did they fail?
 What are the common types of medical applications on the market? What features do they
have?
 Tips and functions generated from medical applications.
How do you develop your own healthcare mobile apps and why are medical apps so popular in
the marketplace? Here we talk about the current trends in medical mobile app development and
find out what is needed to be successful in today’s healthcare.
Do you remember the hand-held gizmos that Dr. McCoy employed to treat Star Trek’s wounds?
We do not have such powerful gadgets yet, but the medical industry is being digitally upgraded.
New technologies are being introduced and new gadgets are being developed. Considering this,
 the day is not away when we will have the magical devices able to cure everything within
moments.

As Elon Musk proved, technology has taken a big step in recent human development. Now you
can do a lot of work with your smartphone and an Internet connection, complete your shopping
and serve your food. The same procedure now applies to the Healthcare industry.
The App Store is full of healthcare apps, all for different purposes. According to Flurry analysis,
the number of people using health applications increased by 62% over the past four years, and
the overall application usage increased by 33%.
Why are people interested in developing medical applications? Okay, we have a bigger agenda in
mind for those apps, more specifically:
 Provide nutritional advice to help you make better choices in your daily eating regime.
 Plan an online workout to maintain your appearance.
 Make it easier for you to communicate with your doctor.
 Send an online report on the patient’s perception and health (eg, the diabetes patient’s glucose
level is passed on to the PCP)
 Maintain accurate online medical records and access and mobilize all your data 24 hours a day.
 Call your doctor or emergency room.
 If necessary, remind about the prescription and refill it.
 You can book a visit to your doctor online, based on information you can see, such as photos,
qualifications, and work experience.
 Directions to hospitals and clinics
 You can see the results of your laboratory analysis on your mobile phone.
Despite many of the features described above, most software development has failed. Medical IT
news research shows that only two-percent of healthcare applications are released. More
importantly, every failure will cost the hospital $100 million.

Why is this often happening and trying to create a healthcare application for patients often fails?
There are several possible reasons for why mobile apps fail to succeed. These are:
The user experience is poor
There are many indications that the user experience is not appropriate. Availability Geek lists the
top 10 most common items. It’s important to realize that there’s a “ghost house” app on the shelf
of the mobile app market that no one already uses. Avoiding at least useless content, complicated
user flows, and inconspicuous CTAs can leave a lot of potential customers in the product.
Lack of expertise and industry knowledge
The most important aspect of a healthcare application’s success is its expertise. If the doctor’s
opinion is not enough, people will not be faithful to it. It is widely known that people believe
people, not an artificial intelligence device that suggests them to do something. Even if your
application provides better suggestions and guides, people will have a tough time believing its
recommendations. Therefore, it becomes necessary to include the expert advices of a person, a
doctor.
No specific problems have been solved
The problem that most healthcare applications cannot solve is the requirement to meet certain
needs, especially what the user cannot do without the product. Every application should be meant
to solve a problem. Since there are thousands of applications covering the whole spectrum of
healthcare and are not focused on a certain pain, people generally avoid them since no one is
interested in reading useless, clichéd suggestions. This one is the main reason why the QPG state
application will fail and many similar things are also true. If the application addresses a certain
pain-point, a disease or an ailment, the chances of its success are way higher than a generic
application.
You have not followed the privacy regulations
All medical applications are subject to HIPPA regulations. However, many applications can not
satisfy these rules.
To use the application successfully, it must be visible and should be used for other purposes. The
following are some examples of successful cases of electronic records systems or other kinds of
medical applications, depending on the service provided.
1. Test planning

At this stage, your quality assurance team has to elicit product requirements and define the scope

of the project to create a test plan based on the product specifications and required features. A

test plan is a detailed document that outlines the test strategy, objectives, schedule, time and cost

estimates, and deliverables as well as the resources (specialists, software, and hardware) required

for testing.

Such precise planning allows your team to estimate the duration of the testing process, measure

necessary resources, and get predictable results when testing is finished.

 2. Regression testing

Regression testing after fixing bugs makes sure the app works without a hitch.

we use an automation testing approach during regression checks to speed up the testing process,

ensure product stability, and prevent any impact on your product due to future modifications.

3. internal Testing

There are some main camponents of internal Testing.

 Blood Group

Main Digest

When a person's blood is analyzed under a microscope distinct blood differences are visible. In
the early 20th century, an Austrian scientist named Karl Landsteiner classified blood according
to those differences. Landsteiner observed two distinct chemical molecules present on the
surface of the red blood cells. He labeled one molecule "A" and the other molecule "B".

Some Quick Facts Regarding Blood Types/Groups

 About 5 million Americans need blood transfusions every year.

 Receiving blood from the wrong ABO group can be life threatening.
 Your body carries around four to six liters (7 to 10.5 pints) of blood.
 Almost half (48%) of the UK population has blood group O, making this the most common
blood group.
 Many pregnant women carry a fetus with a blood type which is different from their own, which
is not a problem
 A total of 35 human blood group systems are now recognized by the International Society of
Blood Transfusion (ISBT).
 A popular belief in Japan is that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of their personality,
character, and compatibility with others.
 With regard to transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative
blood are often called universal donors, and those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called
universal recipients.

Blood Types (Groups)

 A blood type (also called a blood group) is defined as the classification of blood based on the
presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). A
series of related blood types constitutes a blood group system, such as the Rh or ABO system.
The frequencies of the ABO and Rh blood types vary from population to population.

 Blood Type A - If the red blood cell has only "A" molecules on it.
 Blood Type B - If the red blood cell has only "B" molecules on it.
 Blood Type AB - If the red blood cell has a mixture of both "A" and "B" molecules.
 Blood Type O - If the red blood cell has neither "A" or "B" molecule.

There are eight different common blood types, which are determined by the presence or absence
of certain antigens, which are substances that can trigger an immune response if they are foreign
to the human body. Since some antigens can trigger a patient's immune system to attack the
transfused blood, safe blood transfusions depend on careful blood typing and cross-matching.
There are 4 major blood groups determined by the presence or absence of two antigens (A and
B) on the surface of red blood cells:

Common Blood Types

Blood Group Antigen

A Has only A antigen on red cells (and B antibody in the plasma)

B Has only B antigen on red cells (and A antibody in the plasma)

AB Has both A and B antigens on red cells (but neither A nor B antibody in the plasma)

O Has neither A nor B antigens on red cells (but both A and B antibody are in the plasma)

In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a third antigen called the Rh factor, which can be
either present (+) or absent ( - ). In general, Rh negative blood is given to Rh-negative patients,
and Rh positive blood or Rh negative blood may be given to Rh positive patients.

 The universal red cell donor has Type O negative blood type.
 The universal plasma donor has Type AB positive blood type.

Donating Blood by Compatible Type:

Blood types are very important when a blood transfusion is necessary. In a blood transfusion, a
patient must receive a blood type compatible with his or her own blood type. If the blood types
are not compatible, red blood cells will clump together, making clots that can block blood
vessels and cause death.

If two different blood types are mixed together, the blood cells may begin to clump together in
the blood vessels, causing a potentially fatal situation. Therefore, it is important that blood types
be matched before blood transfusions take place. In an emergency, type O blood can be given
because it is most likely to be accepted by all blood types. However, there is still a risk involved.

Compatible Blood Type Donors

Paternity Blood Matches

Paternity can be determined by highly accurate tests conducted on blood or tissue samples of the
father - or alleged father, mother and child. Before DNA analysis was available, blood types
were the most common factor considered in human paternity testing.

In cases of questioned paternity, ABO blood-typing can be used to exclude a man from being a
child's father. An example being, a man who has type AB blood could not father a child with
type O blood, because he would pass on either the A or the B allele to all of his offspring. The
word "allele", an abbreviated term for "allelomorph" meaning "other form", which was used in
the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes.

COVID-19: A History of Coronavirus

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has led to mass scientific conference cancellations, travel
restrictions, social distancing, and other unprecedented prevention measures. How did we get to
this point?

A novel coronavirus outbreak was first documented in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in
December 2019. As of this writing, it has now been confirmed on six continents and in more
than 100 countries. As the world’s health systems funnel resources into learning about, treating,
and preventing infections in humans, new information is released daily. In this two-part article
series, we will first provide some history on coronaviruses to put this disease outbreak in
perspective, and discuss global health security and planning for pandemic response. Secondly,
we will offer guidance from the best trusted sources for prevention and planning in the
workplace and at home.

What are coronaviruses?

Coronaviruses are a large family of zoonotic viruses that cause illness ranging from the common
cold to severe respiratory diseases. Zoonotic means these viruses are able to be transmitted from
animals to humans. There are several coronaviruses known to be circulating in different animal
populations that have not yet infected humans. COVID-19 is the most recent to make the jump to
human infection.

Common signs of COVID-19 infection are similar to the common cold and include respiratory
symptoms such as dry cough, fever, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. In more
severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure,
and death.

The COVID-19 infection is spread from one person to others via droplets produced from the
respiratory system of infected people, often during coughing or sneezing. According to current
data, time from exposure to onset of symptoms is usually between two and 14 days, with an
average of five days.

Recent coronavirus outbreak history

Two other recent coronavirus outbreaks have been experienced. Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS-CoV) of 2012 was found to transmit from dromedary camels to humans. In
2002, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) was found to transmit from civet cats to
humans.

Although COVID-19 has already shown some similarities to recent coronavirus outbreaks, there
are differences and we will learn much more as we deal with this one. SARS cases totaled 8,098
with a fatality rate of 11 percent as reported in 17 countries, with the majority of cases occurring
in southern mainland China and Hong Kong. The fatality rate was highly dependent on the age
of the patient with those under 24 least likely to die (one percent) and those over 65 most likely
to die (55 percent). No cases have been reported worldwide since 2004.2

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of 2020, MERS cases total more than
2,500, have been reported in 21 countries, and resulted in about 860 deaths.3 The fatality rate
may be much lower as those with mild symptoms are most likely undiagnosed. Only two cases
have been confirmed in the United States, both in May of 2014 and both patients had recently
traveled to Saudi Arabia. Most cases have occurred in the Arabian Peninsula. It is still unclear
how the virus is transmitted from camels to humans. Its spread is uncommon outside of
hospitals. Thus, its risk to the global population is currently deemed to be fairly low.4 

Global Health Security

An international panel of experts undertook a comprehensive assessment and benchmarking of

health security and response capabilities across 195 countries.5 The purpose of the project was to
address risks from infectious disease outbreaks that could lead to international epidemics and
pandemics and measure response capabilities for each nation. The hope was that the GHS Index
would lead to quantifiable changes in national health security and improve international
preparedness.

The GHS Index measured indicators across six broad categories:

1. Prevention: Prevention of the emergence or release of pathogens.

2. Detection and Reporting: Early detection and reporting for epidemics of potential
international concern.
3. Rapid Response: Rapid response to and mitigation of the spread of an epidemic.
4. Health System: Sufficient and robust health system to treat the sick and protect health
workers.
5. Compliance with International Norms: Commitments to improving national capacity,
financing plans to address gaps, and adhering to global norms.
6. Risk Environment: Overall risk environment and country vulnerability to biological
threats.

The major GHS Index summary findings were:

 1. Although the United States scored an 83 out of 100 points, health security around the
world is very weak and no country is adequately prepared for epidemics or pandemics.
The average score was only 40.2 out of 100.
2. Preparedness is very weak, and capacities have not been tested.
3. Funding and budgets are inadequate.
4. Training and coordination are lacking along with foundational health systems' capacities
for epidemic and pandemic response.

Unfortunately, the veracity of the GHS Index study is being borne out in real time with the
COVID-19 outbreak the world is experiencing now. But there is no time to point fingers and say
“I told you so.”  We need to act, fast and furious.

At this writing, we are about three months into the COVID-19 outbreak. The WHO officially
declared it a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Countries experiencing the greatest number of cases
include China, Iran, Italy, and the Republic of Korea. Although the United States ranks eighth,
currently, with under 2,000 confirmed cases, insufficient testing does not provide a clear and
complete picture. Therefore, we need to take immediate and serious actions to: first, protect
ourselves, family, loved ones, and others in our communities; and second, act to contain the
spread by preparing our homes, workplaces, and businesses.

This article is the first of a two-part article series detailing the COVID-19 pandemic. To continue

transmission prevention,

 Healthy Foods

Benefits of vegetables:

No matter where you look, the food we consume is getting farther away from nature. Grocery
store shelves are filled with processed foods with preservatives and additives that are hard to
pronounce. When we’re not buying food at the store, it’s a cheeseburger and fries for dinner.
When you think about the effect this type of diet can have on your health, it’s troubling. It’s of
little wonder the rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other metabolic diseases
have increased steadily over the last few years.
To avoid being part of these statistics, you can start bringing your diet more in line with nature,
and that means eating more fruits and vegetables. Here are the top 10 reasons that’s a great idea!
1. Fruits and vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals. You won’t find a
better nutritional source than fruits and veggies, which are packed with vitamins A, C and E,
as well as magnesium, zinc, phosphorous and folic acid. For potassium, one of the most
important minerals for your health, eat plenty of avocados, sweet potatoes, bananas, prunes
and even tomato paste puree.
2. You get to enjoy a variety of flavors and textures. With all their unique and interesting
flavors, plant-based foods let you get creative in the kitchen.  You can try strong flavors like
onions, olives and peppers, or milder options such as mushrooms and corn. For sweet flavors,
fruits like pineapple, grapes or plums are great, while lemons and grapefruits are more sour.
3. Lots and lots of fiber. Most fruits and vegetables have plenty of fiber to fill you up and
boost gut health, but some have more than others. Fiber-rich vegetables include artichokes,
green peas, broccoli and cauliflower. High-fiber fruits include raspberries, pears, apples and
pumpkin.
4. They’re low-calorie and low-fat. On average, fruits and especially vegetables are very low
in calories and fat, which means you can eat more to keep you feeling full without worrying
about extra calories or fat. You can save more than  200 calories by eating half a cup of
grapes versus a fourth of a cup of  M&Ms. That said, there are exceptions, such as avocados,
olives and coconuts.
5. Protect against cancer and other diseases. Many vegetables and fruits contain
phytochemicals, which are biologically active substances that can help protect against some
diseases. That means you can lower your risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, high
blood pressure and cancer by adding them into your diet. Specifically cruciferous veggies,
such as broccoli, cabbage, collards and watercress, have been linked to reducing cancer risks.
6. Fruits and vegetables help you maintain good health. Because they’re low in saturated fat,
salt and sugar, fruits and vegetables are part of a well-balanced diet that can help you lose
weight or prevent weight gain. Plus, they can help you decrease inflammation, and lower
cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
7. Low in sodium and cholesterol. Fresh fruits and veggies contain only trace amounts of
sodium. Many people think that celery is high in sodium, but in fact, one stalk contains a
mere 30mg, which contributes 1 percent to the recommended daily value. Cholesterol doesn’t
exist in fruits and veggies at all.
8. Fresh, frozen, canned, dried – they’re ALL nutritious. While eating fresh fruits and
vegetables may be your preference, there’s not much difference from a nutrition
standpoint when you compare frozen, canned or dehydrated products. In fact, most frozen
and canned products are processed within hours of harvest, so the nutritional value is locked
in quickly.
9. Convenient, quick and easy. Unlike granola bars or crackers, many fruits and vegetables
don’t need any packaging. So you can easily grab a banana or an apple as you’re heading out
the door.
10. Finally… Smoothies! If you have a blender, all you need is fruit and ice to whip up a
delicious smoothie using all of your favorite flavors. And here’s a tip – when you make a
fruit smoothie, feel free to throw in as much fresh spinach as you like. Spinach doesn’t start
to taste like “spinach” until you cook it. Even kids can’t tell the difference!
