Abstract— The health reports of the persons including diagnostics information and medical prescriptions are provided in the form of
test based case notes (papers) due to this the previous health conditions and the medicines used by the person are not known when he
visits the hospital later. But storing all the health information of a person in the cloud as the soft copy reduces this problem. To achieve
this each and every hospital, dispensary, labs must have an internet connection for registration of patients data, each patient will be
identified by the unique Aadhar Id and all the data of the patient will be stored in the cloud and the data can be accessed by only the
particular patient.

When the patients enter the hospitals the details of the
patient must be entered into the cloud with the help of their

they can give the prescription in the form of soft copy and
they must directly enter the data (the medical prescription)

Every person must register to the cloud by their Aadhar
and must provide a security password to their accounts so
that they can only access their data.
The data can be entered only by the authorized persons.
The data can be entered first by authenticating them self
and then by using the Aadhar card number the data of the
patient can be entered in the cloud.

After transforming the unstructured data into the structured
data the data is compared with the standard values and if
there is any deviation between the standard value and the
output then the patient is intimated to take care by
explaining their health conditions to them and the
precautions to be participated by them.

how the structured data is can be viewed.

To retrieve the data from the cloud the person must
authenticate himself with the cloud by providing his
Aadhar id and the password.
When the both Aadhar id and the password are correct then
he can access the data from the cloud.

The analysis of the data stored in the cloud can also be [1]
helpful to the government to find out which hospital has [2]
the high failure rate based on the hospital metrics, if the
failure rate is high then the hospital can be penalized and
the hospital rating can be given based on the hospital [3]
metrics. These ratings visualized by the user by logging
into the cloud and they can decide which hospital they
must go.
The data analysis can reduce the ford. [4]
For example all the diagnostic centers must give the bills in
the form of the softcopy and they must enter the bills must
be entered in the cloud so that if any diagnostic centers or
the medical shops or hospitals are asking for the extra bills [5]
they can be easily found because they are compared with
the predefined data and if anyone of them found
participating in the malpractice they can be punished. [6]
5. ADVANTAGES
By implementing this following are the benefits:
1. We can form a data bank of medial patients in India. [7]
2. We can analyze the type of diseases in any particular
region of India.
3. We can take preventive measures to combat the
[8]
disease in a particular area.
4. Administration of any particular district may keep
vigil on the disease in his command area. He may
seek any help in advance to combat the disease.
[9]
5. We can distribute medical cards to each of the
citizen of India and link it with Aadhar Card.
6. Each patient may be able to keep his medical history
in soft form. [10]
7. Hospital may transfer the medical history/test
reports of a patient to other referred hospital, on [11]
demand immediately.
8. Hospital/dispensaries may take expert views of
Specialist doctors by sending Patient’s Aadhar Card [12]
Number.
9. Doctor will prescribe the correct medicine in worth
reading form. [13]
10. Treatment will become transparent.
11. We can provide quality treatment to each and every
citizen of India by well qualified Doctors.
12. Doses of the prescribed medicine may be clinically
online verified as per the age and symptoms of the
disease and may be easily understood by patient.
13. Everybody may access his reports through
Mobile/Laptop/Computer at anywhere (Offline).
14. We may standardize the lab test charges and hospital
charges so that even a daily wage earner may utilize
the facility of a super specialty hospital at
reasonable rate.
6. CONCLUSION
By implementing this it would be possible to decreases the
disease in our country and also it would be easy to detect
the ford which are taking place in the medical field easily
and the patient health conditions are monitored, some
suggestions can be given to the patients to increase their
health.
