Abstract :
Rural hospitals are hardly worth mentioning. Most of them are horrifyingly under developed. The Indian government is trying to deal with this problem, as these places are often in drastic need of health care, doctors and medicines. Often there is no quick access to medication, sometimes lives may depend on it. There aren´t that many options available in highways either, for people driving long distance or other similar situations. We also face a major problem with “expired” medicine, which is overlooked by many people, and which leads to a lot of problems. To deal with this ever-evolving issue, we have come up with the concept of an “Automated Medical Machine” (AMM). The machine stores essential and frequently used drugs with other medical supplies. It is also connected online to a doctor, on call. The doctor “consults” and “prescribes” the medicines, which is “acquired” and “dropped” to user, like money is dropped from ATM (Automated Teller Machine). The machine stores the records and transactions related to every registered user using cloud thus by avoiding the expenditure spent on physical components to store the data. Instead they are stored on multiple virtual servers. These AMM´s are placed at convenient places all around the city, and even in highways and other difficult spots, for easy access.
