1. Patient Management and Data Security: Implementing a secure, cloud-based electronic patient medical record management system that can operate over both high-speed and low-speed connections. Data encryption locally and remotely mechanisms ensure patient information is protected and accessible even during connectivity outages.
2. Diagnostic and Consultation Tools: Integration of diagnostic tools (e.g., patient monitor ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate digital stethoscopes, portable ultrasound) with the telemedicine platform, allowing for real-time data transmission and consultation with specialists. For areas lacking advanced tools, training will be provided on how to conduct assessments using basic equipment and relay findings through the telemedicine system (or basic Whatsapp).
3. Training and Capacity Building: Utilizing online training modules and virtual workshops to build local capacity. These resources will be accessible through the telemedicine platform, ensuring healthcare workers can access training materials even offline.
4. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Designing the system with energy efficiency in mind, selecting equipment that operates on low power and incorporating energy-saving features into the telemedicine platform, such as data compression and offline functionality.
5. Scalability and Modularity: The architecture will be modular, allowing for the easy addition of new services, such as mental health support or nutritional advice, without significant changes to the existing infrastructure. This modularity also supports scalability, enabling the project to expand to new areas by adding nodes to the network.
