Mobile Applications in Electronic-Healthcare: A Case Study for Bangladesh
摘要
Bangladesh's healthcare system faces major problems, like unequal access, high costs for patients, not enough skilled healthcare workers, and more cases of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The system focuses too much on hospitals and doctors, which makes it harder for people, especially in rural areas, to get quality care. Using healthcare apps can help solve these problems by making care more accessible, affordable, and better overall. This research represents how healthcare applications are currently used in Bangladesh and their effects on society. It aims to show the benefits of using mobile healthcare apps, focusing on key examples in Bangladesh. The study also explores the e-healthcare environment in the country, identifying obstacles that prevent these apps from being fully effective and suggesting ways to overcome them. The findings highlight the positive social impact of mobile apps in Bangladesh, including better access to healthcare, improved patient outcomes, and a shift towards more personal independence in the healthcare system.
