Development of an online medical platform

based on personal health records in Malaysia

amid the COVID-19 epidemic

Targeted economic/social issues and solutions

In Malaysia, although the ban on online

medical treatment was lifted due to the

COVID-19 outbreak, the development of an

online medical care system with adequate

functions such as disease management through

data collaboration and security system for

handling medical information has been slow.

By developing an online medical platform

remote cooperation between physicians,

improve the quality of online medical care,

prevent severe conditions, and foster patient

peace of mind, thereby improving satisfaction

with hospitals.

A preliminary interview by AI can collect much

information about the patient required for

diagnosing and is expected to improve the medical

examination quality without relying on the

doctor’s ability. Also, by acquiring a large amount

of patient information before examinations, we

aim at resolving issues faced by medical

institutions, such as shortening medical

examination hours (reducing the burden on

doctors) and waiting times (reducing the burden

on patients), and reducing the risk of oversights.

issues in quality and traceability of sesame,

which is regarded as an indispensable and

valuable cash crop in Myanmar.
