Abstract
PHCATM is a product that can accurately and efficiently find relief for common symptoms by interactively querying the user and providing real time suggestions. In addition, it has the ability to connect with the nearest medical officer with live chat whenever demanded for online health check-up. The user can discuss problems with the medical officer, and be involved in deciding the best care solution. Finally, the PHCATM module can dispense the prescribed medications and print out prescriptions written electronically. Too many people in India die due to lack of diagnosis in first place, availability of medicine in time or in affordable cost as second.
