 eHEALTH - INTRODUCTION
• People are often laidback w.r.t. their health and do no feel the need to take
preventive measures/regular checkups
• The need of the hour is a smart technology to fill this gap between human
and their health
• Many a times people are not be able to visit healthcare services due to a
busy schedule, ignorance, carelessness and so on; the eHealth Prediction
System is the solution for all such problems

help access healthcare services
• A smart health prediction system will also assist health professionals in
their decision-making process regarding to medical situations
 eHEALTH - INTRODUCTION
• This online consultation program is fed with huge volumes of data related
to several symptoms and diseases associated with them
• The users had to enter their medical problems and symptoms to get the

eHEALTH – CONTEXT DIAGRAM
 eHEALTH – NONFUNCTIONAL
FEATURES
• The application should maintain the database of user
• The output data should be shown in a clear way
• The data should be analyzed quickly
• The application should be reliable with minimum bugs
• The user should be able to understand the output given by the experts
• It should be clear, reliable and easy to use
• Suitable graphs and trends should also be displayed to understand it more
clearly
• The application should be accessible from anywhere at anytime
eHEALTH – DECISION MATRIX
 eHEALTH - LIMITATIONS
• The scope of this project is limited. The health condition of the users
cannot be predicted exactly as the information given by the user is the only
source for generating reports.
• The accessibility of the user may be restricted as the user may face server
issues.
• The scope of communication is restricted. As the user can only know
interact with the experts through online, they may not be able to understand
their health issues clearly 
 eHEALTH - TRANSITION
• To train the users on the new technology enabled eHealth Prediction
System, the project manager will have to implement a thorough Training
Program which can not only inform users of the features and capabilities of
the system, but can also resolve any issues that they face during its
operation
• Since this is a new age solution build using cutting edge technology, it is
important that additional reference material be created for the users
(Patients, Doctors, Medical staff) which they can use to get acquainted with
the functionality of the eHealth system
• Rather than implementing this for a large population (Big Bang
implementation), this should be released for a measured, informed group of
people for evaluation. Based on the outcome it can be released for all
 eHEALTH - BENEFITS
• Smart Health Prediction system is very useful to both patients and the
doctors
• The patients will get treatment for their health condition at any point of
time
• The doctors will get more patients with this platform
• The Data Mining component will play an important role in determining the
illness and analyzing the symptoms of the patient
• This cycle repeats. This platform provides an opportunity for the patients to
interact with the doctors and tell their concerns related to health.
• eHealth system will benefit users in getting instant guidance on their
current health issues. Suppose the user's symptoms do not exactly match
any disease in our database. In that case, it shows the diseases user could
 eHEALTH - BENEFITS
• Diseases Prediction is a vital part that will notify the patient of the illness
caused due to the symptoms. The system will also suggest Doctors based
on the diseases.
• Doctor Search is an application that is highly beneficial for the patients and
enables them to search for a Doctor by specifying name, address, or type.
