About

In India currently only a few percentage of population use Internet. The maximum percentage of population has access to SMS. With this project we are trying to solve problems at the grass root level. This SMS application works similar to a web or mobile application. The users can register with the service only with a simple SMS. Now they will get SMS/E-mail notification about the medicines, vaccination date and place for their child and other general advice.

Project Features

  • Users can register with the service with simple SMS.

  • Now they will receive medicines, vaccination centres in their area. Also other government schemes.

  • The messages will be customized for users according to date of birth of child.

  • The scheduling of messages will be done automatically. Manual action is not required.

  • Also a web app will be created for Web users.

  • Notifications will be sent on SMS/E-mail.

Data is power

  • This will also act as Birth registration system.

  • Money can be saved as government has record of medicines required in a particular area.
  • Visualizations can be created  for sex ratio and number of birth in a particular area.
  • Data can be exported to Excel sheets so can be used in local medical centres.
