The Current Healthcare Problems

Today's healthcare system is plagued by fragmentation, inefficiency, and barriers that prevent optimal patient care. Here is a story of Simon.

Scattered records, limited access

Scattered records, limited access

Simon, now in his 70s, has always visited his local hospital. All his records sit in physical files there. During his latest visit, he’s prescribed more medication, but the information never leaves that hospital’s walls.

No continuity across hospitals

Months later, Simon visits a cardiology specialist at another hospital. They cannot see his past history. Without the full picture, the doctor prescribes new medications, adding to Simon’s growing list.

Surgery without context

Surgery without context

A year later, Simon needs surgery at a third hospital. Again, none of his records follow him. The hospital has no access to his general or cardiology records. After the surgery, even more prescriptions are added to his already complex regimen.

Gruelling discharge process

Discharge day is exhausting. Simon spends more than four hours shuttling between departments, collecting paperwork, invoices, and discharge notes before he can finally leave the hospital.

Medications are another hurdle

Medications are another hurdle

Fresh from surgery, Simon still has to stand in line at the hospital pharmacy to pay for and collect his medicines, a draining ordeal for someone just out of the operating room.

Confusion and overwhelm

Confusion and overwhelm

Simon now has prescriptions from three different doctors. Each has its own instructions. Sorting through them daily is overwhelming, and without support, he feels anxious and unsure if he’s taking the right medicines at the right times. Keeping track of inventory is challenging too.

Endless paperwork for insurance

Simon spends days collecting and collating paper invoices for his insurance claim post surgery. Because everything is on paper, he has no choice but to do it alone, a tedious and frustrating process.

Vitals tracked on paper

Simon has been asked to record his blood pressure and other vitals regularly. He does so diligently, but only in a simple notebook, disconnected from his doctors, family or caregivers.

Anxiety for family and doctors

Anxiety for family and doctors

Simon’s son Peter, living in another city, worries constantly: Is his father taking the right medicines and in time? Are his medicines running low? Are his vitals within safe limits? The doctors from different hospitals are also left in the dark. With no shared visibility, there’s no chance for early intervention if something goes wrong. Peter feels helpless, and Simon feels alone.

Months later, Simon visits a cardiologist at another hospital. Without repeating tests or filling forms, the cardiologist reviews Simon’s complete record and prescribes new medications, which are updated in his World Health Record app.

Surgery made simpler

A year later, Simon requires surgery at a third hospital. Even here, doctors access his full medical history instantly. The surgery goes smoothly, and new prescriptions are added to his World Health Record app, keeping everything in one place.

Stress-free discharge

While Simon recovers, his app takes care of the rest, invoices, insurance coordination, discharge notes, and updated prescriptions. What used to be a stressful process is now fully automated through World Health Record app.

Medications delivered to his doorstep

Simon now has prescriptions from three different doctors. Instead of confusion, he feels confident. Each morning, the World Health Record app gives him a clear, personalised list of exactly which medicines to take and when. When he takes his medicines, inventory is updated automatically.

Peace of mind for his family

Peace of mind for his family

Simon’s son, Peter, lives in another city. Yet every day he knows his father is taking the right medicines and that his vitals are normal. He is kept informed when medicines are running low. Doctors across hospitals are also informed. If anything looks concerning, family and doctors can step in early. Simon feels supported, connected, and never alone.
