Cloud-based Integrated Medication Management System

India is a populous, multi-lingual, multi-cultural developing country marred by inherent deficiencies in its Pharmaceutical & Healthcare sector. On one hand the problem of counterfeit pharmaceutical drugs is on the rise, whereas on the other hand the average common man is being financially & medically exploited by authorized / un-authorized doctors with their overdose of medical prescriptions, with an added risk of the patient, skipping part of this complex medication regimen. To mitigate these issues currently prevailing in India, we propose a Cloud-based Integrated Medication Management System. As a precursor to it, a Web-based Inpatient Medication Management System for hospitals is being developed and the preliminary results of the same is outlined in this short paper. This is just a concept which takes advantage of the rapidly growing cloud based networking infrastructure along with the increased penetration of internet in India. The paper also sheds light on the functional details of the proposed concept and its potential impact on the society.
