Right now, maybe 'right now' is the not the right word, lets say - 'Right a period now' or 'Right a few days now', i have been thinking about using android to do something that would benefit the society.
Now that is not a joke. I know everybody is making apps for US and earning dollars. But how often do we make apps for us. I stay in Kottayam now. I was thinking about all the wonderful things that we could do to make a persons life better here.
Ofcourse, we are poor and not many of us have android phones or tablets here. We are working hard to earn our daily meal. Ofcourse, we dont have time to talk technology. But then, a few of us have to find time so that we can help others find time and bring happiness to their lives.
What we need :-
a) An idea that will save/help/improve person or people condition
b) The technical know how of how to implement the idea using latest technologies
c) The knowledge and wisdom to make that possible using the least resource, least money , reducing wastage but providing maximum output.
d) The motivation and the will to do it.
I believe strongly that android can be used for that. Here are some of my ideas for problems at my place. Let me know if you have an idea to solve an issue at your place and we can discuss it.
Here are some examples :-
1) I have a railway cross near to where I stay. Its where the road meets the railway line. A lot of trains go through that railway. Most of time people are just waiting for the train to cross. A gate closes 5 - 10 mins prior to when the train is about to pass preventing any vehicle to pass. All the road will then wait for the train to cross. After which, the gate opens and traffic resumes.
There are junctions before railway cross having an alternate route to bypass the railway cross. Those can be a better decision to save time, if the gate is closed. If the gate is open, then its better to cross through it.
If we have a mechanism through which we can inform others whether the gate is open/close at those junctions then we can help them make that decision to take the alternate route. This would save them a lot of time. its important to mention that this route goes all the way to the Medical College here. So we can save Ambulances from waiting on the gate too or if its open then they can reach the hospital much quicker.
Android can be used here. :-)
2) Medical College OP TICKET
We have a medical college near to where I stay. Its a government run medical college and 1000s of patients per day. Each patient has to take a Out Patient Ticket - OP Ticket before seeing the doctor. The OP ticket gives the patient an token number which is the order in which they can see the doctor. The queue is pretty big for the OP ticket. Its sad to see all those people waiting just for the ticket, considering that they can be sick too.
Why cant we save their time or help them with the android technology?
3) Medical College doctors
The condition of the doctors are not good here. There is always a shortage of doctors considering the number of patients that visit the hospital. The hospital is always full. Most of the valuable time of these doctors are spent in recording the patient details than in actually treating the patients. If we have a mechanism to help them record the patient details - either using medical transcription techniques or others, then we can save their time. They can spent more time with the patients and their family.
Let me know if you have an idea to save the world. Lets discuss it and lets start studying it and implementing it. We can also consider doing these projects as a part of your training. That way, you earn your experience for a nobel cause and I earn my reward from Almighty God.
