According to the statement, the app, being developed with the help of IIT Kanpur, will allow patients to book OPD appointments online, eliminating the need to wait in long queues at hospitals and AYUSH centres.
This will save time, reduce crowding, and provide significant relief to senior citizens, women, and patients from remote areas, it said.
The mobile application will provide access to detailed information on Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy, including treatments for various diseases, medicines, doctor profiles, nearby AYUSH hospitals and dispensaries, and health tips, the statement said.
The app will include feature details of government schemes and programs promoting AYUSH, it added.
Designed for ease of use, the app will be secure, fast, and reliable, ensuring patient data protection.
Future upgrades will include tele-consultation, online reports, and digital health records, allowing expert medical guidance from home and further enhancing public trust in AYUSH systems.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that Uttar Pradesh, in an official statement, said that it is set to introduce a new policy to strengthen the state’s position in the country’s AYUSH sector.
