The app also features a panic button which provides a chance to overcome users in trouble or in panic situation as an alert along with location of the person in trouble is sent to pre-filled five family members’ mobile numbers. Mehta said that the alert sound is audible even if the phones are on vibration so that the person can respond immediately.
With e-pharmacies coming up in a big way in the country, livelihood of about 8.5 lakh offline pharmacies are at risk of losing business. MeraPatient app is empowering such pharmacists by helping them reaching out to their own regular patients/customers more effectively and serve them at their doorstep, said Mehta.
