Elixir 📈

Data Activation Platform and Health Repository

The widespread problems and issues present in Indian healthcare system which motivated us to develop Elixir are :

✅ Covid 19 🚑 has created 🚨 acute shortage of primary healthcare workers and physicians 🚨 to be consulted for primary healthcare.
✅ Traditional telemedicine facilities are time consuming and not effective and inclusive.
✅ Lack of features for end user which makes most of the virtual care provider platforms inclusive to only tech-savy individuals.
✅ There's a major lapse in storage and transfer of patient medical records, most of the time causing loss of health records and leads to compromised diagnosis
✅ Lack of data security and data democratization.
✅ Vulnerability of paper based records.

Elixir is a web-based application which enables patients and doctors to share electronic medical records(EMRs) 📝 in an efficient and easy to use manner.
It acts a central medical repository 🗃️ for all health records 📄 and data for a patient and enables quick, systematic and hassle-free monitoring of longitudinal medical history of patients across the care spectrum by different health facilities i.e doctors, hospitals, etc.
It uses a ⚡️unique consent based approach⚡️ to let medical data ownership in the hands of patients all the time and employs advanced authentication techniques to ensure secure data transfer.
It also hosts a smart consutation dashboard which allows patient to request for specialist consultation.
The major goal of Elixir is to make 🚨 patient care accessible at this time of COVID19 🚨 and to remove the heavy lifting of organizing, indexing, and structuring patient information to provide a complete view of the health of individual patients and entire patient populations in a secure, compliant, and auditable manner.
