About the Mobile Application :

Connect Medsolu Locally is the first, revolutionary health care delivery app introduced by Medsolu (OPC) Private Limited. It enables everyone to access cost-effective and quality health care services. This application provides comprehensive, accessible, community-based care that meets the health needs of individuals at any time of requirement.

Connect Medsolu Locally is an online system for quick health care delivery right at doorstep. It entails local people for the purpose which gives best online services from highest rated health care service providers, with or without prescription. It requires signing up to create an account by submitting all the required details in order to use the app. Also, the particular role for the use as service seeker or service provider needs to be specified. After agreeing to the terms and conditions, the phone number gets verified with a One-time Password (OTP) confirmation. These profile information can be used to sign in the next time.

The Users :

The service seekers are not restricted to patients. It could be anyone seeking health care related items, such as Covid patients, people with special abilities or aged people having problems in motion or doctors seeking some surgical items, and so on.

Here, service seekers are classified as ISS and ALSS. ISS stands for Instantaneous Service Seekers. People seeking emergency services within half an hour, form this category of seekers. They seek action from providers available within the proximity of 30 minutes of driving distance.

ALSS are seekers who can wait for their need to be fulfilled without seeking immediate services within half an hour. So any provider within the predefined maximum distance can lend their services. Therefore, ISS is for instant requirements and ALSS schedules the deal to be delivered later.

A service provider is any individual participating to perform the role by providing health care services. They may not necessarily be shop owners. In addition, people owning health care shops are also a valuable category of service providers.

Posting Health Care Items

Service providers can post available health care items with its name, price available at location and available floating time and duration. The shop owners can add their health care shops with their name, addresses, names of contact person and contact numbers.

Two-way User System

A person can work both as a service seeker as well as provider as per need. At a time, only one role in the app can be used with a registered phone number and email address. In order to switch roles using the same details, the existing account with the particular role, say a service seeker, can be deleted and a new account using the same details with the different role, that is, service provider, can be created.

Another way is that a different number and email address can be used to register as a service provider. Therefore, roles can be switched in the same app by just signing out of one role and signing in to the other with the different account.

Inside The Application

After a successful login, the account dashboard opens. The only difference in case of service providers is to select service provider as the user type when registering. In that case, a checkbox is also available for shop owners.

Adding Requirements

The kind of requirements a user can seek can be various. Some possible items could be health supplements, medicines, surgery essentials, face masks, or other tools such as inhalers, sterilisers, among others. There are two ways to add health care requirements in Connect MedSolu Locally. It works either by clicking on the option reading ‘Add Healthcare Items Requirements’ or on the sign of addition where the name, unit and quantity of the required item, and the address for its delivery to add requirement can be filled in. With this, the appropriate role of action for delivery of the product needs to be selected.

On selecting ISS role of action, the service providers are notified when requirements are added. Accordingly, seekers are sent provider search results. When any provider accepts the requirement request, seekers are notified with provider details and the deal is fixed once the seekers have accepted to complete it. Upon rejecting the provider based on their details, the same process works until the seeker has accepted to complete the deal with any available provider, who has accepted the seeker’s request. If there are no provider responses, a list of nearby shops is available to fulfil the need, that fall within 30 minutes of driving distance from seeker’s location.

There is a predefined time limit within which all actions need to be performed in order to set the deal with a provider crossing which the deal stands closed. Similarly, the ALSS Role of Action notifies service providers available within a set maximum distance. When any of them accepts the seeker’s request, seekers are asked for approval of the provider. The deal is set with that provider after approval is sent within the default time limit. The delivery process for the item then starts. If the time span has been exceeded, the deal is automatically cancelled. If there is no acceptance from any provider, a list of related shops within the predefined maximum distance is displayed. Once a deal is completed, cancelled or closed, seekers will then be able to post feedback and rate the service provider.

The Target Customers

Any user can register in Connect MedSolu Locally using the mobile app on Androids. The target audience for using this application is everyone. It means anyone who is in need or anyone who is willing to fulfil that need is welcome to use this community-based application. The service seekers and providers are all the local people from the surroundings. Hence, it can be anyone and everyone in earth.

The Algorithm Application follows

When the seeker chooses an ISS requirement, the nearest service provider is notified with the request. The factors for selection of provider are highest rating, nearest distance and price available for the product. How the system identifies appropriate providers is calculated depending on their interest and availability. It means only those providers are notified who are signed into the application as service providers, along with the other factors. If the first provider rejects the deal, the next provider with highest rating and nearest distance is notified. This shall go on until there is any acceptance between both parties with a settled price.

The same process works in case of ALSS deal where the maximum distance is predefined. If no providers are available then the request is sent to nearest shop owners. The criteria for selection remain the same.

The Benefits

Certainly, service seekers make the most use of this app. It is extremely beneficial during critical times for emergency health care services. However, service seekers are not the only beneficiaries. The use of this app is equally favourable for service providers. When the provider is a shop owner responsible for health care delivery, the flow of their business is ensured. If, in case, a seeker does not get any provider to fix a requirement deal, they have an option of services from shop owners.

Besides shop owners, any person from the locality can also offer to settle emergency health care needs as a service provider and make an earning. The idea is to bring a large group of community to engage with and fulfil some crucial purpose at any point of time.
