HealthBud App

HEALTHBUD

Your child’s digital health record

Vision: HealthBud is a housekeeping app for your child’s health records.

Introduction:

HealthBud lets you keep track of all the vaccinations administered to your child since birth. One can record all the doctor visits, prescriptions, medications, reports and bills.

Motivation:

During the formative years of childhood, a child is administered numerous periodic vaccines. Often these vaccine certificates along with the doctor prescriptions, medications, reports and bills are maintained in physical medical folders, which are not portable. 

HealthBud comes to the rescue of organizing and maintaining vaccine administration certificates, doctor prescriptions and reports of a child since birth. The App also offloads the task of remembering upcoming vaccinations and doctor visits with its “set reminder” feature. It serves as a repository of all health records pertaining to your child. 

The idea and inspiration of HealthBud comes from my son's birth and having to administer vaccine shots and maintaining his health records.

Goals:

• Serve as a repository of vaccinations taken since birth.

• To file doctor prescriptions, bills and reports.

• Growth tracking to show how your child grows compared to other children of the same age and gender.

• Set reminders for doctor’s visits and immunization programs.

Non-Goals:

• Immunization schedule information. 

• Your child’s diet, nutrition and allergies.

Future Work:

• On the profile page, users should be able to filter and sort the entries based on doctor visit, vaccine or report.

• An in-built vaccine schedule as per the Indian Academy of Pediatrics with due date information.

• Users should be able to scan the doctor prescription and let the app auto populate the fields in the doctor visit entry instead of manually entering information.

• Users should be able to leverage speech to text conversion in adding the entries.
