A Software to Provide Health Care Solutions
PUNE: Aiming cost effective promotion of health care systems, the Pune based Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has developed a ‘decision support system’ software with a knowledge base of integrative medicine, combining best practices in Allopath, Ayurveda , Homeopath and Yoga.
Named ‘Cure@Home’, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solution can help transcend the heterogeneity in India arising out of cultural, educational and regional differences, says Dr Medha Dhurndhar, Programme Coordinator, C-DAC which comes under the Central government’s department of Information and Technology.
“What began as a novel project to synergise the best medical systems on a single platform and integrating them onto the Information Technology bandwagon, has resulted in multiple offshoots that hold the promise of enhanced health care that is largely technology-driven.
Cure@Home being one of them is designed as a promotive, preventive and curative health care solution to the common man,” she explained at a media presentation.
The C-DAC solution which attempts to combine the best of Indian medicine systems with modern technology can be deployed on personal computers (desktops, laptops) or at kiosks (Touch Screen) and can have application at home, clinics, hospitals, public places and schools as a health care tool.
The software is currently available in English, Hindi, Assamese and Bengali with plans to integrate other Indian languages in its repository.
